SCP on mobile phones is a COMPLETELY different game from that on Xbox. They can't even be compared. Games like Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell Convictions, however, are the same on PC and 360, aside from slightly different control schemes and online content, which also differ between the ps3 and 360 versions. The same goes for games like Bioshock, minus the ps3 version. |
You're absolutely right. That wasn't the point though. Here's the point. Resident Evil 4 has the same version on the PS2 and the PC. On IGN, the PC version got a 7.7 and the PS2 version got a 9.5. Want to know why? They look and play the same, that's why. Yep, an identical game on the PC recieved a whole 2.2 points lower than the PS2 version. You see the problem was, it still looked like a PS2 game. But why should that matter, they're comparable platforms? Oh, on the contrary, the reviewer felt that with the extra muscle in the PC, which was playing games in HD quality, the game is not on equal terms with the PS2 version. The graphics we're great for PS2 but not for PC.
Also the control set-up. The PC game played fine with a gamepad, but unfortunately, a gamepad does not come standard with a PC, it costs extra. It supported keyboard also but it was a shoddy way to play Resident Evil. No good points could be given because the reviewer was forced to base the review off of the standard set-up of controls. It probably would have gone up 1 or 2 points for gameplay alone if the standard set-uop of PCs was a quality gamepad.
Here's the point in a nutshell. PC games are judged as PC games. Console games are judged as console games. They are not judged equally. Some say Bioshock looks better on PCs, so why aren't the PC scores higher than the 360's? It's because a PC is CAPABLE of looking better than the 360. The 360 version was compared to other 360 games when looking for graphics and the PC game was compared to other PC games when looking for graphics. Mouse and keyboard is universally better so why didn't Bioshock score better on PCs? It's because the 360 versions' controls were scored based off of other 360 games and the PC version was scored off of other PC games. The same deal as Resident Evil. It's a different platform. It's scored based off that different platforms' strengths. If they directly compared both Bioshocks, I guarantee PC would have come out on top by a .1 or .2
