| starcraft said: In the past I have been accused of being a fanboy of a certain HD console. Clearly I am not, but I will contribute this: It is RIDICULOUS to suggest either the PS3 or the Xbox 360 are capable of matching Crysis running on a high-end PC with ANY game. Certainly not now, almost no chance even by the end of the two console's lifetimes. You can argue that you prefer the art-style of a certain console game more than that of Crysis, but ultimately you cannot reasonably argue that a game looks better technically or the majority. And even if you tried to make that argument, you're ignoring the underlying theme here, that high-budget PC games ALWAYS look better than high-budget console games with the possible exception of just a few months after a console launches. When it launched, the computing power necessary to run Crysis at it's absolute best wasn't really even commercially available, now it is still prohibitively expensive. And before anyone spins me a line, Crysis is EXTRAORDINARILY well optimized. Anyone that actually believes a console can match that kind of prowess is deluding themselves. |
I agree with everything you say
