| ckmlb said: Yet the 360 version will outsell it completely and will get all the attention. Not to mention the demo came out a week ago and is coming hours before release for PC... Anyone who expected a game to look better on a console than the best PC was obviously not thinking straight. But the difference is getting smaller and smaller. More and more PC games will get console releases too and some that were before PC games will move completely to consoles in the future. |
No. The difference will only get bigger and bigger.
This is exactly the same situation that has occurred in every console generation: First the consoles create graphics on par (slightly better or worse, but nothing to really nitpick about). Consoles have a fixed architecture. Console developers get better with console optimizations, but that hardware is everything that the devs have to play with.
PC developers can throw caution to the wind and continue developing with the latest technology in mind, and that difference will only increase in time.
Simply compare, say, the graphics in Doom3 for the Xbox with the graphics in Doom3 on a PC that met id's recommended system requirements and you can see that the difference is night and day.
Sure, perhaps the PS2 and Gamecube versions of a game looked pretty remarkable when they first came out, but five years down the line any respectable FPS on a PC worth its weight in salt would have made the PS2 version look like microwaved ass.
