Forums - Gaming Discussion - This is why me an other PC gamers gets annoyed by console graphic debates

Is that the new Pokemon tech demo? Lot's of squirtles hiding in the grass.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

PC graphics usually don't look that much better. They have HD textures and such but beyond that they pale to the quality of huge console games. Halo 4 looks great not because it is pushing polygons but because of studio's immense talent.


Thats because consoles are holding the PC back at the moment.

I hope games never look like that. Those weird animations really clashed with photorealism

You are right about that in ways.  Developers do no develope for PC  very often.  In a few cases yes like Battlefield 3 and The Witcher 2.  But PC is capable of things like this and through modding it happens.

We get it, the current gen consoles.....tez con'tzt competez! Now, stop giving the rest of us bad names! :P


No people want to compare graphics well here you go then.  I'm tired of seeing threads about this kind of stuff.  Halo and forza thread just a few days ago which apparently makes the 360 a magical beast and then you have motion capturing on the ps3 and beyond and apparently nothing tops either one.  If people want to be annoying about graphics and senial then I can do the same thing.

But you expose your own sensitivities when you create a topic like this. All it does is open up a point-and-laugh environment, not securing the results your were seeking.

This is, as I said in the previous thread, while I agree with your overall point.


I dont see anybody laughing.

Geez, a bit overkill don't you think. Comparing 7 year old consoles to what is likely to be a $500 GTX 580 or 590 GPU running crysis.

Who is going to argue with that?


I want it to be an overkill

Dude, you gotta calm down. If people really believe ^^ then showing that video isn't going to change anything.

To me console vs PC will always be an unfair and pointless comparison.

The one thing that closes the gap IMO is that developers put much more effort into making console games look good because of the far greater financial returns. Usually on the x360 and PS3 the best looking games sell well and make the all time top ten for that console.

Look at the top selling PC games and Crysis or Metro 2033 are no where near top of the list. A lot of work for no great financial reward. Very hard work when you think of all the different hardware to accomodate.

I believe this holds the PC back from it's true potential. That not fact, just my opinion.

PCs can be far more powerful than any console.



That game doesn't even look that good, I don't know why everyone likes Crysis graphics, its old, it looks very outdated by today.

You are completely correct actually.  Consoles is a much better financial investment.

You're missing the point. People aren't going to stop doing what they're doing because you have frustrations and based on threads like this, they learn not to take you seriously.

Look through the majority of the responses, what percentage of them have given you a pat on the back for this topic?


I pointed and laughed.  I have to admit it.
