Console gaming> PC?

1. It's still inovative, because the other game DIDN'T HAVE CHARGE UP

2. Yes it is, but recharge and lasers.

3. Carbine.

SilentNight_

Recharge weapons? Tribes again - laser weapons.

Carbine? What a semi automatic scoped rifle. Wow talk about desparate, any FPS with a semi automatic scoped weapon falls under its category, even real world varients as in the original Rainbow Six.

Hell there was games earlier than tribes that did these things, it just so happens i know the game very well.

South Park Game made a gun that could make people dance, ZOMG THE INNOVATIONS.

Creating new guns is not innovative.

For instance the Grav Gun or Portal Gun.

Then why do people call "The gravity gun" innovative?SilentNight_

Halo has such a good record on consoles cause that's the best they've got, they have nothing to compare it to so that's why it's so popular. Whereas a PC gamer has seen it all before, only better... hence hermits laughing at consolites thinking Halo is the best thing to grace the planet.Brainkiller05

Are you kidding? CONTROLS ON PC, AND YES I HAVE PLAYED A FPS ON PC. The controls for melee, throwing grenades, changing weapons, reloading etc..... IS TERRIBLE

Consoles now have the Orange Box, COD4, Bioshock even Gears of War ect. which are shooters of a very high calibre, and the Halo series had lots of competition, rather than an easy lead. Which is why the game is so much less popular this generation, there are so many titles that it competes with.

Really Halo nowdays is played by a dedicated fanbase, while the masses seem to prefer COD4, and activley debate over what FPSs are better, rather than last generations - 'Halo is the best shooter'.

If you rather shooters on consoles, goodo, its not stopping the PC from being the vastly superiour platform for the genre.

And of course you get a huge amount of keyboard and mice.

So yeah in controls PC is far superiour than any console that has existed... as any console that has existed has controllers that work on PC, be it usb, blue tooth, or with an adaptor.

PC sucks.

Is it just me or are the consoles beating the crap out of the PC this gen? I've always thought PCs were at the fore front of new technical achievements in gaming. But this time around I've got to say that consoles are leading the way. Games look and play better on consoles this generation. And most of the good games that have come out in the last two years have been on consoles, and some of them have even been exclusive to consoles (GTA4/MGS4/NG2/). And the future is looking better for consoles also. As all the good PC games that use to be exclusives are now multi-plat. Only saving grave for PC this gen seems to be Blizzard. They're the only top AAA PC developer who hasn't decided to to go multi-platform.

ShimmerMan

I do think console gaming right now is better than PC gaming, but that whole statement about looking and playing better on consoles is incorrect.

[QUOTE="blackace"]

This gen? Game consoles have been beating the crap out of PC gaming for over 15yrs now. Games console and their games generation almost 15 billion a year, while PC gaming has just passed the 1 billion a year mark. Even if you went strictly with software sales, game consoles are still leading my many billions. PC gaming has grown over the last 3 years though. Mostly due to MMO games If it weren't for MMORPG/FPS, Strategy and Sim type games, PC gaming would be just about dead by now.

AnnoyedDragon

Lots of gloating, zero evidence. Saying the PC market is only worth one billion pretty much set yourself up to look like a idiot, it is worth more than twice that much in the US alone, stacking all three consoles against one platform also reeks of bias.

Honestly why are console users always like this?

[QUOTE="lowe0"]

Kind of negates the whole "PCs can do more" advantage, though.

AnnoyedDragon

Excuse me? Did you just honestly question the "PCs can do more" argument because you have difficulty writing code on a low precision screen sat on the other side of the room? Seriously?

Anyway, hooking a PC to a TV wasn't the subject in the first place, nor is it the only reason why I prefer consoles (though it is a big one). Using a mouse on a couch is a pain in the ass, the consoles' interfaces are a lot simpler than Windows' (which makes sense, because it's fixed-function and has to do a lot less), I prefer the style of games on consoles (no Rock Band == no sale), and lastly, consoles are where my friends game (and I really prefer to play with my friends; this isn't a big deal for everyone, but it's a deal-breaker for me).

"But those are all opinions!" Yep. And they're what makes console gaming superior FOR ME. Superior is an opinion, and PC gamers can't just claim their versions are superior out of hand, because not everyone values the same things they do.

PCs don't have some sort of undeniable advantage such that anyone who doesn't value it above all else is an idiot. It's just another platform.

lowe0

Generally when you take the exact same game that is on consoles and crank up the res/frame rate, that is the supperior version. You can even choose between mouse & keyboard or game pad depending on your preference.

How is that not the superior version? It has everything the console version has at a higher quality.

Hey if you prefer consoles that is your business, but you are criticising proven PC advantages.

If it's so superios, why do less people play the PC versions? :roll: The game may look and even play better, but in terms of convience, comfort and less fustration, more people will play the same version on the game console, then on a PC. This is a FACT. If you don't believe me, I can pick at least 10 games that are on both PC and game console, yet more people are playing the console version. In terms of game play, it's really up to the gamers to decide which is superior. You say it's superior on the PC. I say it's superior on the game console. Who is really right? Neither is right or wrong, as it's just a preference. The only real advantage PC's have is displaying the game in a higher resolution and maybe a slightly faster FPS depending on the game. That's about it.

Those figures did not include online subscriptions. Online subsciption were 1 billion in the U.S. and I believe 7 billion worldwide. That still doesn't compare to $17 billion for console gaming in the U.S. and $41 billion worldwide. Console game is support to grow to $57 billion in 2008. Huge diffence from PC gaming. So yes, console gaming has been OWNING PC GAMING for years. I proved my point. Both of you need to do research because post your stats.

Im pretty sure the original data figures did not include online sales data, and were at a much earlier date than the link above.

Making up data and presenting it as facts then saying "you need to do research" is not only arrogant, but incredibly naive and is nice evidence of your own ignorance.

Use credible sources to backup your claims.

No, I don't think so. LOL!! There's no misconceptions about gaming on a PC. People are well aware for the frustration of loading and configuring PC games to get them to play the way they are suppose to. If PC gaming was so convient and easy to get into, a LOT more people would be playing on their PC's. Game consoles are much more convient and easier to use when it comes to gaming. Everything is pretty much plug and play in a matter of minutes. Yes, there are definitely more PC in people's home then game consoles, but most of these people aren't use those PC's to play games.

First off you are using that wiki again, secondly you are adding all three platforms together and comparing them to one.

DFC Intelligence has shown PC gaming is 30% of US game revenue; despite there being various gaming systems including the three consoles. 30%, nearly a third, despite there being four major platforms (PS3/360/Wii/PC) PC is making more money than its fair share of overall US game revenue.

That's your opinion. Now convince the millions of gamers who are playing console games instead of PC games. Good luck.

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"][QUOTE="blackace"]If it's so superios, why do less people play the PC versions? :roll: The game may look and even play better, but in terms of convience, comfort and less fustration, more people will play the same version on the game console, then on a PC. This is a FACT. If you don't believe me, I can pick at least 10 games that are on both PC and game console, yet more people are playing the console version. In terms of game play, it's really up to the gamers to decide which is superior. You say it's superior on the PC. I say it's superior on the game console. Who is really right? Neither is right or wrong, as it's just a preference. The only real advantage PC's have is displaying the game in a higher resolution and maybe a slightly faster FPS depending on the game. That's about it. blackace

No, I don't think so. LOL!! There's no misconceptions about gaming on a PC. People are well aware for the frustration of loading and configuring PC games to get them to play the way they are suppose to. If PC gaming was so convient and easy to get into, a LOT more people would be playing on their PC's. Game consoles are much more convient and easier to use when it comes to gaming.

well most people dont know how to upgrade there PC to play games..not only that but PC gameing is also a hobby, with upgrading, maintaing and such its much different than your average console player who just pops in and plays.

its much more convient for some people..but once my PC is up and running i can do anything as simple as popping in a disk..PC gaming is not fustrating if you know what your doing..which most people dont.

and that is correct that most people dont use pc for gameing but alot do while there not hardcore gamers they still own a pc and still play some form of a game..weather its Peggle or Counterstrike somone is playing.

just because your a console player dosent mean that every pc for everybody is hard and not easy to get into..for you it may be..but for me im used to patching, installing,,etc..its just second nature to me now.

I find it funny that sony and micro is like 6 bill and still loseing more money. I also find it funny that there in fighting that goes on between game devs and mircosoft and sony. I wonder how meny games have been scraped because of the infighting going on lol. Lets talk the hostle take overs of game devs ideas lol here is another fact that sony and micros soft always have to look up pc gaming.......concole's gaming death is hand mark my words

"Console gaming is becomming harder to use while PC gaming is becomming easier to use. Its almost reached some kind of equillivrium at this point."

That's an opinion. I can probably pull 20 people off the street that would say the complete opposite.

All the same, I will point out one aspect where console gaming has a clear edge: offline (perhaps I should call it social)multiplayer. By this, I mean say four guys crashing together at a bud's house for a round of Madden and in-your-face name-calling. For some, nothing beats it, and before you say you can plug the PC into it...one, most PC games don't do multiple controllers too cleanly, and second, what if the only PC in the house is all tied up in the office...or doesn't have a TV Out (mine doesn't, and it's a 9800GTX--a lot of dual-DVI cards don't sport a TV Out)?HuusAsking
