So what specific games are we waiting for?

Or should they be new IP's


Valve games have appeared on consoles.
Crytek has made a console engine.
Where should the games be coming from?

 

Zeno Clash is a perfect example. Every indie game on Steam. Console dont have these game experiences and never will.

When Baldurs Gate 3 is announced, i shall belive you.

Until then PC gaming is looking good with Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, The Sims 3 and plenty other games that are revealed, and yet to be revealed.

Baldur's Gate 3... It will eventually be developed. Right now they're working on the 'spiritual successor' "Dragon Age". Let's all hope Minsc reappears in BG3.

I've been gamer since the 2nd Videogame Generation (the Atari 2600 days). I just want to say that I really feel that the PC gaming era from Elite, Monkey Island, Civilization, Dune II, Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Warcraft I & II, all the way to Half Life, Counter Strike, StarCraft etc., for me at least, was the Golden Era of PC gaming.

Some console fanboys just don't realize that the PC, Amiga and Commodore scene has always been the 'prime' innovative gaming devices. The PC scene still is and will continue to be so in the future.

Those of us who are into both PC gaming and console gaming will continue to get the best from both worlds. To bad the Arcade Hall scene disappeared. Hanging out in the arcades was great. Good memories..

 



that would be nice, cause i finally am up to date with my pc...



It's not fair cuz Pc's with state of the art Cards can make old games look better...But anyway...Wolfenstien Is coming...t

Why is that not fair? It's pretty much the way things are. I happen to think it's really fair. When you think of it, it's just "facts on the ground" really.

Also. My Wolfenstein expectations are really low. I'm waiting for a Half Life 3 announcement. And Dead Space 2#.

Half Life 3 would be so epic.

Maybe when Half Life 2 : Episode 3 is done... who knows

OMG...Half life 3...That would be to much...I don't know..I don't think that they would tamper with the formula of wolfenstien...Ppl still play that game heavy...I wonder how will class based FPS do on the cosoles...Team Fortress is a hell of a game

Normally this rule is very true, but we're already halfways into the generation and there is not a single PC game announced that looks to be graphically very superior to console versions, not one exclusive, not one multiplatform. Zero.

 

 

Crysis came out in 2007 and is better looking than anything on the HD twins. An almost 2 year old game. KZ2 is a nice improvement, but as a whole PC games took the lead a while back. You just need a beefy rig.

 

 Doh. Crisis of course. Forgot that one lol. Okay, one. But only one single game. So far Crisis is the only big grafix PC exclusive this gen, and there wont be many more since all the big devs have gone multiplatform (xcept Blizzard but they make games that could run on a PS2).

I only know of Project Offset that will be a grafically big PC game, that set PCs apart from consoles grafically.

All multiplatform games so far have been exactly the same on PS360 compared to PC version.

(in a few cases the textures mite be slightly compressed on the PS360 versions but you can hardly notice it)

Not to be rude but you obviously don't have a beefy rig. Farcry 2, Fallout 3, Oblivion, Left 4 Dead, Unreal Tournament, and MANY more have a HUGE graphical improvement on PC. I almost barfed when I played UT3 on the PS3 (gf got it for me not knowing I had it for PC). HUGE HUGE difference. It's why I'm not impressed by any games graphically on console, never have been. It's also why I don't understand the hype with Halo, as it is HORRIBLY bland in comparison to what I've been used to since I was a little kid on PCs. 

 

Consoles will always be 2nd to PCs, especially with the very limiting controller scheme and clunkyness they bring overall.

I'm a big arcade goer, have been for about 8 years now, and I completely feel you. I've traveled the country for DDR, ITG, Initial D, MVC2, SF3S, Indy 500, and many more tournaments, and its completely dead now-a-days except for the typical fighting scene, which isn't even done on arcades now-a-days, although that balances out with some usually very nice TV selections :D

 



The Halo francise is the most overrated bland game to ever hit the console market. It provides a bad name to all FPS that even showed effort at creating an original entertaining plot.

I probably have more ps3 games than you :/ 

By the terms you posted, I'd say it already has...

Moreover, I kind of see the PC this generation as being like the classical Greeks, while the HD consoles are like the classical Romans: sure the latter conquered the former, but the latter also eagerly adopted many of the former's values. In this case, the HD consoles are, in essence, streamlined PCs (shoot, they even share the same games...). So even if there's no retail victory, PC fans can already claim a moral victory.
