I think the point you are missing is that "good graphics" is all relative.
The Nintendo 3DS has good graphics next to the DS, but it looks absolutely unacceptable next to something like a Playstation 4, Switch, PC or Xbox One... Heck even most Smartphones/Tablets.
So are console graphics good next to the PC? Absolutely not. Not relatively speaking.
| Kerotan said: And most pc gamers were on a rig less powerful then the ps3 last gen so were their pc versions shit looking too?? |
How do you know if PC gamers were using a rig less powerful than the Playstation 3? Do you use flops as your assessment to gauge that? If so... I have some terrible news to tell you...
Pretty much a 10 year old Core 2 Quad with a $30 GPU upgrade is going to give you better graphics than the Playstation 3, You can even play Overwatch on such a rig.
Want me to prove it? Because I just so happen to have such a system.
| Kerotan said: Some ps3 titles like killzone, uncharted, ratchet and clank etc etc look superb and were well optimised. Some pc games looked superb on medium to high end Rigs that were well optimised. |
If you call baked shadowing, lighting, 720P and lower, minimal/zero amounts of anti-aliasing, barely any anisotropic filtering, 30fps and less, low resolution texturing, simple geometry as something that is "optimized" well. You got me there.
| Kerotan said: Point is you didn't need a super powerful pc to have amazing graphics and to this day you still don't. |
We aren't arguing this.
| Kerotan said: This year ps4 will be got for $200. And absolute stunners like Uncharted 4 and Horizon will be playable on it. Or the Pro for $299 most likely. |
And? It The Playstation 4 still can't play AAA games at 4k, 60fps.
The PC kinda gives you that option. Or you can go lower. You also don't have to strictly use your PC for gaming either.
But that doesn't remove the fact that the PC has superior graphics to consoles, that has remained true for decades... And will continue to remain true for decades more.

Those were good times!
We do have Star Citizen to look forward to though.
