Even if it was a straight port it would be one of the best looking games on the PC.

You gotta be kidding.

Are you actually saying that a straight port of a game running on 2005 hardware would be one of the best looking games on modern PCs? Really?

Yep.

Shows how little PC gaming has improved this gen. Thanks pirates!

The advances definitely haven't been as dramatic as last generation, but come on, an up-to-date PC smokes PS360 in technical grunt. 5-year-old Crysis maxed out still beats anything on consoles, as do Crysis Warhead and The Witcher 2. Not to mention some of the graphics-enhancing mods available for PC games...

Okay, lets think for a moment.

I said a straight port of Max Payne 3 would be ONE OF THE best looking games on the PC. I didn't say the best, but amongst the best.

If you can only compare Max Payne 3 to the truly best looking games on PC... then I think that means a straight port of Max Payne 3 would still rank high in best looking PC games.

Hence, I win!

I can compare it to all kinds of PC games, not just the best looking, and it would look inferior. A truly "straight port" would mean the game would be limited to the 720p/30fps of consoles. Anyone who games on a high end PC will attest to the advantages of 1080p and higher framerates.

I spoke too soon. I thought Pezus was the only person that thinks a stright PC port needs to be limited to 720p and 30 FPS.

Personally, I think a straight PC port can allow for those improvments. In my opinion (and anyone logical person should agree), its no longer a straight port if they actually do changes in the game. Such as superior textures, improved character models, etc.

For example, if I'm emulating a N64 game on a PC. I can have smoother frame rates and higher resolutions. But I'm actually playing the same old game with no improvments to the actual game. Understood?
