Gameplay Report: Xbox 360 vs PC

Re: Gameplay Report: Xbox 360 vs PC

Those are simply technicalities Juno. Even though all games start on a PC with an Xbox/PS3 emulator, the design is entirely around that device and then controls and optimization are changed for the client it is intended to run on.

Batman: AA is a great example of a port. It even had hit scenes in it. So is MW2 with Xbox errors showing up on PC. Also, how about those PS3 exclusives? If they are designed on PC then why aren't they available for PC or Xbox?

I will say again that we all know what the game is or is not. Anyone else have comparisions between the versions?

--we are not allowed to ask for good hit registration?

Good? I don't know how you define good hit reg but I find the hit reg on BC2 to be quite good. Ping to Multiplay/KC servers is mostly around 50-60ms and I have no problems hitting single shots. With spraying/burst you hardly hit anything. Sniper rifles sometimes seem to not hit anything but that could be just me sucking with them. (:

I find the hit reg fine lol

when I snipe, I actually have to shoot the model! Not lead the guy by several miles

Re: Gameplay Report: Xbox 360 vs PC

The game was made on console. for console and with a console arcade feeling.
The no proning, and many other features make me feel like that.

(i love the game, its just an opinion about this. i dont care about it if the game amuses me, but i'm pretty sure i am waiting bf3 to come. [have u imagined bf3 with all those features bf2 has an destuctible envroirement? aaaww so awsome ])

You mean J-10 raping the hell out of everything because you can't take cover anywhere thanks to destruction? Sounds like fun.

If the game is designed correctly, there would be balance. Instead, DICE seems to be taking shortcuts instead of truly balancing certain aspects of the game.

Re: Gameplay Report: Xbox 360 vs PC

While I neither Agree nor disagree with it being a port, using the argument that "it doesnt have prone so therefore its a port" I find void IMHO.

MW2, one of the most consolified games right now, has prone

Counterstrike, a game that could not be any more of a pc game without it turning into a microsoft office product, does not (AFAIK)

if I am wrong please disregard this statement

Re: Gameplay Report: Xbox 360 vs PC

BC2 for PC is a token gesture to PC gamers. BC is a console line. they are porting it to PC because they don't want to further alienate PC gamers by going console only the last few games in a row. plus they figure they can make easy money with minimal work for PC version, especially taking advantage of the whole MW2 fiasco.

Exclusives are just that. Exclusives. They aren't released on other platforms because EA doesn't want to release them on other platforms, or EA was paid by sony to make it exclusive.

Things are not coded in an emulator. ALL, of the Dev Tools we used were on a PC. I started up my PC, in the morning, and coded on my PC, all throughout the day. The games are tested , on a console. (If they are a console build)

A PC build of a game, goes absolutely nowhere near a console in any way shape or form. BC2 is NOT, and I repeat NOT, a console port. It may feel like it, but you know what until we have the FULL version of both games, calling anything a port is useless, as you cant compare two different builds, on two different platforms.

And really, you cant say BFBC2 is a consolized version, as there has NEVER been a PC version. So if you don't like it at this point, don't play it ? Be happy they gave us a free preview of their game a month before release.

Maybe I am not understanding. So if a developer takes a game and its designed for Xbox or PS3 and then decide to make it for PC so they change up some of the files and coding and make it for PC, its still not a port because the original game was designed and created on a PC to begin with?

I dont think the game is bad and you will not find me anywhere say it is, because that post does not exist. I think its a port, just like MW2 and Batman was. Maybe I am misunderstanding what a port is. Was MW2 not a port?

As for being happy they gave us a chance to point out the errors of their game so they can fix them and sell us a working product? Well, they should be happy we really wanted to do that and test it out for them as well. It works both ways.

Re: Gameplay Report: Xbox 360 vs PC

No offence Juno and respect to you,but i always said it was a port.It saves them money in doing so

Im not a programer like you or what ever you did at EA? but im sad they didnt make any changes for PC apart from a few extra player spots

[Minmaster]

Re: Gameplay Report: Xbox 360 vs PC

its a port and nobody's gonna make me change my mind on this.

[MrChris_CJ]

Re: Gameplay Report: Xbox 360 vs PC

well you have difference in machine code...but all the games are coded in a typical language like the C family

but Juno is more or less right

the game is only a port in a sense of gameplay mechanics etc, the fact that it is a battlefield game, traditionally the console version of Battlefield but now on the PC

Re: Gameplay Report: Xbox 360 vs PC

This wasnt really supposed to be a discussion on whether its a port or not as that is purely an opinion held by some but rather a comparison between the two versions.

Re: Gameplay Report: Xbox 360 vs PC

i've seen how smooth the gameplay is on xbox 360 compared to my way better PC hardware. i was appalled at the differences between the 2 versions. all i know is that the PC version isn't going to perform like 360 on release day.
