know people say Crysis looks better

PC games may offer even higher resolutions but I think we will be getting to a point where higher resolutions (beyond 1080p, you will need a very very big display and sit very close to it to notice any difference, not recommended for your eyes) and maybe more effects won't matter so much as compared to enhanced physics, AI, huge environments and over game complexity. At least with regard to realistic games I think overdoing it with effects may actually result in a less realistic game. The fully destructable environment talked about with regard to Killzone sounds really promising, no longer while firing a rocket at a tree it will be left standing as if nothing has hit the tree, a tank won't be stopped by fences or walls. Folding@ Home is a good example where the PS3's Cell processor is able to outperform massive calculations done by the PC CPUs 20-30-fold.

The PC gaming market has shrunk roughly 40% these last 5 years, so there's less reason for game companies to justify dedicating their resources on getting the most out of PC graphic cards. I can't speak for others but personally I am done with constantly upgrading my PC for playing the latest and greatest games.


 I really don't see the point in spending alot of money to upgrade my PC constantly to keep up with the newer games that require more power, and so the only games I ever buy for my PC are RTS. Every other I game I now buy for my PS3, becuase I don't have to worry about whether it will work or not, and generally it looks better on my 32" TV, not many people have proper TVs connected to their computer and, altough people say it is easier to play a game with keyboard and mouse, the overall gaming experience is better in front of a big TV. I don't see why a developer would not simply release the game on PS3, and if they do not to make a control scheme for the SIXAXIS, then they simply say that it must be played with a keyboard and mouse, which only cost a little but more than the SIXAXIS anyway.
