I don't follow pc gaming so I don't know what mods are capable of doing. Personally, the way I view it pc gaming with pc building and modding is a hobby in itself as opposed to console gaming where all that matters is the gaming experience.

Ah, but that's just it, on PC, modding is also part of the gaming experience. Sometimes, it IS the experience. 

But his point is that modding isn't gaming. 

Day-Z, Counter-Strike, Cry of Fear and other games, born from moderations, might like to have a word with you.


I played CS on the PC and I didn't have to mod anything - I just downloaded an executable, installed and played it. No modding needed.

The point was you were able to play the game that was born out of modifications. You don't have to do any modding to play CS.


And my point still stands - you're not gaming when you're building a mod. Just like you're not gaming when you're developing a game. But to each his own - I'm only into gaming for the gaming, in other words - to play games.

Well, modding is part of gaming for many others. So, all I can say, agree to disagree. I don't create modifications to look at the moon, I use them to play in my game(s). Tell the people that played Unreal Tournament III on PS3, or any of the LBP titles that "modding isn't part of gaming", and I guarantee you'd see looks of bewilderment.

Besides, since you don't follow PC gaming, that makes it even harder for you to argue against it.


I'm not arguing against it. I just find it odd that some people (not all) say they are gamers and are more interested in hardware and mods.

Edit: Comparison with LBP isn't fair since a lot of people use the creating tools to create a story or a game in itself - not to make textures look better or things like that.

I completely disagree there, especially if you mod.

But you did, it was a half-life mod lol, what year did you start playing PC games? Graphics mod are the same way, you usually just install it these days, better yet, with Steam Workshop and the way Skyrim deals with mods, you are literally just clicking the "add" button and you are done lol.

While it was a mod, it was still a game. So a rare exception rather than a rule. As I said, PC gaming has its niche and I don't truly understand why people would go for it but to each his own.

You are also forgetting that Team Fortress was originally a Quake mod, then got updated into a Half-Life mod, Valve then hired them, then eventually we saw Team Fortress 2, or maybe you don't even know that? That is not a rare exception at all, a lot of total conversions turned into single games and a lot of those modders got hired into actual gaming studios, and PC gamers are always the first ones to taste the good shit.

PS: also look at Blackmesa, I mean, mod is good shit man, you are totally missing out if you deny them.

If only Steam was that easy on Oblivion mods D:

I know, but I find it funny that people seem to forget that PCs also evolve just like anything else other than being the pioneer platform :P

Also if you want to match art style as much as possible Warframe might be a better match for Killzone, even tho Warframe really isn't pushing scale as much and is still in alpha plus being low budget.


Nevear head about that game before. It looks much similar environment wise to Killzone than Warhead, and has also nice graphics. Any problems if I put those shots in the OP?

 

Sure it's not like they are my shots lol, I do think in terms of lighting and shading it is a better match for what Killzone showed tho it's lacking in texture resolution and of course scale but then again it is a F2P multiplayer game vs a AAA singleplayer game. Planetside 2 could also work, better than Warhead does anyway.

PC games are higher resolution, better image quality.
Consoles games - simpler better to look at.

I like the first person in Drive Club. Don't know why they couldn't have done it on the PS3 though, because he said it couldn't be done before now, and my impressions were that it could. But maybe they will be doing some even cooler stuff, and that's why :)
