Did we get ripped off?

Re: Did we get ripped off?

Its not really fair to compare pc games and console games.

Devs for pc games need to take into account a huge variety of hardware.

Devs for console games only have one set of hardware with a set performance, they can push every bit of that hardware to the max.

I agree and consoles don't have the overhead(Windows,etc) running that a pc has to contend with. Plus mouse and keyboard is a lot easier.

Does any one know how many players this version will have? Some graphical improvements could mean shrinking of the max player in a game. All the games with HDR lighting generally are very small when it comes to players in a game. Doom3, FEAR, and Splinter cell3 are the only ones I know of, and none of them is close to 64 players. They are also on smaller stages with much less veiw distance, or you know 90% indoors.

If they can add HDR lighting, and have 64 players, I will be suprised, and will have to give credit to the 360s power. Untill I see confirmed numbers, I'll be happy to play this version I have now.

those screen shots look nothing like in game shots. granted the 360 is phenomenal when it comes to graphic, go play COD 2 on it. but the thing about consoles is that you cant UPGRADE at all. so two years from now, the latest PC components are going to look 20 times better then the 360. and as far as which is better, games are different. halo for xbox is way better then the pc version imho, but hl2 is WAY better on pc than the xbox. cant member who said it but PC > console....strictly thanks to the fact that it will never be limited because you can UPGRADE it when you need to, unless you own a mac....

With as many processors as the 360 has? Nope if anything they may actually not be held back by CPU nor Graphics in this case. The xbox 360 has alot of down sides to it though, I personally wouldn't go buy one if I were you. If you have then rent the game when it comes out best way to see if you will like it. I don't like console fps's to no mouse and to much of a pain.
