PC gaming doesn't have generations, just graphics card replacements. |
l0l
I cant wait to make a better PC for gaming ;x
|
Thats the point...its not stock...go make it or go to a place that cares to make it.
|
Suggestions on a place where they make it? Mainstream store PCs suck, too poor for alienware as well ;x
|
Thats because PC's aren't made for gaming, unless you buy a specific version. Even then its still not "dedicated", but consoles are.
|
Consoles are clearly not "dedicated" to games anymore, by your definition. Except maybe Wii. They're trying to do all the things PCs have been doing for years.
|
Their prime purpose is still gaming. Pop in your Blu Ray or DVD and see if it doesn't take over the whole screen despite you doing other things. Gaming was always meant to go multimedia. PC is a multimedia tool and has been, but it completely a processing tool for many things and nothing specific, plus you must always check specs like a madman if you want to play a game. At the gaming consoles core its process is for gaming, so either a game exists for it or it doesn't. WIth PC the graphics cards trump the games, with consoles its the reverse. Don't feel satisfied with how a game looks? Change your card. Don't worry about the generation because technically they dont adhere to them as far as identity is concerned. There is no PC genesis, or saturn, or even PC Dreamcast. There is no PC 1, 2, 3 every decade. PC's change without worry of the frame of time because there is less worry for the value dropping and the companies are not profitting off of your upgrades (Toshiba, Samsung, Compax, etc) unless they are focused on games.

Well yeah, I wasn't saying it was exactly alike. But like I said before, I still maintain that PC gaming has semi-generations. And besides, I don't think crytek were being too literal with their statement there in the OP.
|
Then I guess graphics card makers control the progression of generations for you. Technically generations are a process much like for us humans being X, Y, Baby boomers, etc. Theres a time in between and those born within it. For consoles For PC a generation doesn't exactly matter or even count but again..if you want it to, then so be it. In a sense with consoles graphical leaps are more appreciated, rather than depended on like PC. PC generations exist....they just have nothing to do with gaming.
