| Final-Fan said: Yeah, but console games get better and better, technically speaking, as developers get better at tweaking the hardware, so by the end of gen I would expect new 360 games to be in better shape than new PC games running on the late2005-early2007 PC. You'd have more experience on this judging by firsthand knowledge though. |
Well certainly that's true, but you will be able to run those games in at least moderately good form if you built your PC around that level. Honestly, as a PC gamer with experience in this, it's far better to do what I did and wait for a year or 2 into the generation to upgrade. You'll get far better performance out of your games that way.
Personally what I did this generation is I waited for Bioshock, as it seemed to me to be the epitome of 360 technology and I decided it was the proper time to upgrade. So I got a PC that exceeded Bioshock's recommended settings. It cost me about $500. I'll probably upgrade by graphics card in a year or 2, but other than that this PC will last me quite a while.
