| Deneidez said: Agreed, however if theres a really big difference in similar games then you can say something about performance too. Like if you would compare this gen games with last gen games, you wouldn't get it wrong even if you wouldn't know system specs or know anything about consoles. And this isn't the case with current gen except of course the fact that PS360 look much better than wii games, which makes it quite clear that wii is inferior in 'power'. One final note... while I respect John Carmack a great deal, I wouldn't say he's unbiased. If you've ever heard him give a presentation, then you know the guy definitely has strong opinions. Well, Carmack is the 'father' of current 3D games. His words shouldn't be taken lightly either, but I agree too that he surely isn' biased. :) |
Agreed about differences between generations or between HD and non-HD games. But when the capabilities are within the same league, using subjective measurements can be very tricky.
About Mr. Carmack... the guy is amazing, and I certainly don't take what he says lightly. ID basically took the FPS shooter into the mainstream. But he sometimes gets on a rant about something that he feels strongly about.
