Guess it really is in the eye of the beholder...that demo didnt make me think "wow consoles suck" it made me think about how close a console experience can be to a high end gaming rig without all the hassle...and about how great its going to look on a 60 inch screen. I really dont think the vast majority is going to care the clouds are volumetric enough or that extra foliage doesnt fall off when you shoot a tree. Its close enough that for most the graphics are more than acceptable on consoles when your running and gunning, but there are enough differences that PC gaming enthusiasts can pick apart the minutia and feel "superior" as they slowly walk through their FPS so they dont miss the details. |
It may not says " wow consoles suck" but I can clearly see the diifference especially if someone is used to playing PC games. A good example is Oblivion. I bought the PC version and I can easily tell it was a 360 port. I quickly notice it's short drawing distance and low textures. It's not much "eye of the beholder" when objects suddenly appears out of thin air.
Then most of the all I can tell Oblivion had the console "Hassle Free" and "accessible to everyone" gameplay which IMO was a step back for Morrowind. That's the one of the main problems I have with consoles , not only do they try to make the system "hassle free" but the gameplay as well. Thus a more dumb down feel.
I'm thankful for the users mod while maybe a little more hassle yet it was worth it for both graphics and gameplay.
