Slightly better graphics? False. No controllers? False PC doesnt have exclusives? False Dedicated gaming OS? False these console do more than play games now plus Valve released one No unexplained frame rate drops? Seriously? Few console games have locked FPS Expensive to build a PC to match? Really? You really do not know much about PCs do you? PS4 and X1 are using chips for mobile devices. For BF4 for example, you only need a quad core PC. I can build a PC superior to PS4 for around 500. and get free online. |
So much misreading too. First off, I built a gaming PC around 18 months ago that cost me £550.
- Battlefield 3 on High on my gaming PC barely looks any better than Uncharted 3 and The Last of Us, in my opinion. It's not even comparable to the leap into next-gen. I'd say "slightly better graphics" is a very fitting description.
- A lot of PC games don't have native controller support, even those that do aren't all that great. Playing Battlefield 3 with a wired 360 controller was a horrible experience, the buttons weren't even mapped correctly, and the input lag made the game unplayable.
- Please underline where I said PC had no exclusives.
- I don't understand what you're getting at. Windows isn't a dedicated gaming OS.
- The frame-drops I refer to are caused by bugs, not hardware constraints. Like in Battlefield 3, where one particular map will run at 20fps for absolutely no good reason when all the others run at 50fps. Console games do generally have a lower frame-rate, but at least it's consistent and motion blurring and filters are used.
- I already told you about the cost of building my gaming PC. Find a theoretical PC build that can run Battlefield 4 on high at 900p for less than £350.
I don't mean to rip on PC so much, I'm just pointing out why it is far too inconvenient and expensive to become my main gaming platform.
