I still dont get it.... I mean crysis 2 had a bazillion polygon count yet they had a $10 cheaper price that the 360 and ps3 versions.

Let me clarify it for you, first I am thinking your are speaking about the PC version of the game.

The number of polygons in all 3 versions is the same so the game is a development for this generation and the graphics are not as good as a next generation machine. The update added even more polygons, but it did it automatically so most of them are wasted in plain objects and invisible layers so those were wasted, you need to hire many artist to actually take advantage of a great number of polygons and more people working on a proyect means more expensive to produce.

Second the PC version is 10 dollars cheaper because that edition does not pay royalties to the console creators, for every copy of the game a third party publishes they have to pay an average of 8 dollars to the console manufacturer. That does not happen in the case of the PC, that is the reason those games are usually 10 dollars cheaper.

In the future if the console games will increase 10 dollars the PC games will also as the cost of creating the game will raise for all, but the PC version will still be 10 dollars cheaper because they don't pay the royalty fees.

Ahh. Clearly understood. thanks.



Yay!!!
