PC has the longest life and is still going strong. Come again?

Longest and strongest for non-gaming apps, but look how much ground and genre's its lost to the consoles.

yeah those console RTS's sure beat their PC counterparts.

consoles will only ever borrow FPS,TPS,RPG and maybe MMO from PC and thats it.

Um, I think he means the first console, just the Xbox. Basically we all have to upgrade at some point to play the latest games. But you do not have to upgrade your pc as often as people think.

A lot more often than a console but lets leave it at that.

actually, lets not, we spent 2 pages proving that you dont need to upgrade at all through the lifetime of a console if you buy smart, so no, we wont leave it at that.

You don't have to upgrade if you don't want the 'How it was meant to be played' experience, it's in your logo, you know.

[QUOTE="PS3_3DO"][QUOTE="dgsag"][QUOTE="PS3_3DO"]

Consoles last at least 6 years. The 360 is going to last for 8 years.

WARxSnake

Like the Xbox? :lol:

The Xbox didn't make any money for MS so that is the reason that stop supporting it. The 360 is a lot different since MS is making money from it and is going to be the new PS2.

Yeah I read about that a few days ago on Gamespot news. The 360 is going to last until 2011 for sure and after the new Xbox system is out MS is still going to support the 360.

TImes have changed, gaming is open to a larger audience, due to Consoles. That doesn't mean the core PC gamer base isn't there, and lets face it, no Halo fanboy woul last a second ingame with a PC FPS Vet. Most console only gamers would get really confused when dealing with Starcraft and most console RPGers would not find Planescape: Torment very accsesible.

No, its proving best for FPS due to 360's awesome controller. Consoles are the best for everything else other than RTS and MMORPG. PC's used to have it all.

Face it. PC gamers are just better than console gamers. We need more controls because we like to play complicated games that would confuse the lowley consolites.

[QUOTE="wok7"][QUOTE="Bebi_vegeta"]

[QUOTE="wok7"]FYF: All 3 consoles are cheaper than a Gaming PC, not mention just one carries more games worth buying as well as more genres, how nice : )Bebi_vegeta

Since you fail PC knowledge... but now... you also failed maths?

If you factor in games, then Consoles are more expensive simply because there's more games to buy.

You have more games... I have more AAA games. Quality over quantity anyday!

Actually the pc has more games being released in the next 2 weeks than the 360 in the next month. Scroll down to see upcoming releases. http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox360/

oh yeah and to wok, i think you were asking why 360 has better framerates (than ps3, not pc) usually:

thats because most games right now (especially UE3 powered games) require more ram than processing power. RAM to store static mesh, material, AI, physics, sound, navmesh, and so on.

The ram on the xbox is free, as in, its the same ram that will work to store static meshes and textures in the same pool, whereas PS3's videoram is split into storing geometry, and another split for storing textures. The rest goes to system memory.

So the PS3 is unable to allocate unused video memory from another pool to balance out for more static meshes, or more textures. If you have too much of one thing (such as textures) you will get a bust in the mem pool dedicated for textures, and the game will start lagging and crash once there is no free memory available to stream data. Thus devs have to optimize for the ps3 to avoid crashes.

If however, devs decide to have the same game with the same assets on both consoles, the xbox version will have less trouble than the ps3 version.

the other option is to again, optimize the ps3 version, which is the case with Turok where you have missing static meshes, missing vegetation, trees, specular maps and lightmaps, etc.

I stopped reading at 7600 GT ... if you actually educated yourself on what you was buying, saved up that difference for a 7800+ at the time, it would of lasted you ALOT longer and you would of saved money, nobody to blame but your consumer ignorance.

lowe0

IMO is it worth it since you use a PC for more than gaming. This generation's consoles are also lagging behind preatty far graphics wise compared to the PC. By todays standards can the 360/PS3 be compared to a mid-end PC.

You can get a high-end PC for about $1000
Ex: Q6600, 4GB RAM, 8800GT/GTS, 500GB HDD etc...

ore than gaming. This generation's consoles are also lagging behind preatty far graphics wise compared to the PC. By todays standards can the 360/PS3 be compared to a mid-end PC.

Arnalion

I'd say low end looking at the cheap prices of Quad Cores, and the astronomical performance and mid range price of the 8800GT

This gen has been a real treat for PC gaming and hardware

Yeah I couldn't really decide which category to put it in. But I think between low-end and mid-end would be more appropriate.

yeah and a mid range Penryn 2.66GHz quad core can be overclocked to 4GHz quad core, costs 300$.

Consoles also have a wider variety of games that are not availible for the PC.

Let me name a few current and up-coming titles/series.

Metal Gear Solid 4, GTA IV, Halo 3, Killzone 2, Drakes Uncharted, SKATE, Tony Hawk series, Burnout series, Gran Turismo series, Mario series, Zelda series, God of War series, Resident Evil series, Silent Hill series, Jak series, Rachet and Clank series, Devil May Cry series, Final Fantasy series, Soul Calibur series, Tekken series, Super Smash bros series. I can go on and on.

Oh yeah. Crysis is on its way to the PS3 and Far Cry 2 is coming to both the 360 and PS3. Army of Two is also coming to consoles.

nVidiaGaMer

and to have that u need buy 3 consoles and the pc will still has more exclusives and u say crysis and far cry are coming to consoles why the hell would any one want to play a fps on a console? i mean if worse controls and graphics are apealing to u then be my guest.

oh and by the way dm4 and GTA IV are both coming pc.

For 5 years? No Way. The 6800Ultra came out in 2004. Can it play Crysis on high 3 years after its release. NO. The 7800GTX came out in 2005. Can it play Crysis on high. Yes but with low frames. So the 8800GTX will most likely run games 5 years from now. But not on high settings.

Only reason they are doing that is because of the massive install base the PS2 had. Many many more people own ps2s than 3s so why stop supporting it? See how there are more x360 and xbox owners? MS doesn't give a crap about the original now. If the ps3 was more successful the ps2 would be in the same boat.

High settings PC wise, but it would still be a huge leap over consoles which won't eb able to play the game at all(the 8800). Also.. the 6800Ultra still plays Cod 4 fine. Obviously it won't be on the highest.

umm.... wrong.

if you buy smart, 1 high end card at around the beginning of every generation(this gen 8800GTX)

you would be just fine playing most pc games on high for 5 years or so.

For 5 years? No Way. The 6800Ultra came out in 2004. Can it play Crysis on high 3 years after its release. NO. The 7800GTX came out in 2005. Can it play Crysis on high. Yes but with low frames. So the 8800GTX will most likely run games 5 years from now. But not on high settings.

High settings PC wise, but it would still be a huge leap over consoles which won't eb able to play the game at all(the 8800). Also.. the 6800Ultra still plays Cod 4 fine. Obviously it won't be on the highest.

My 7600GT Superclocked is basically a 6800 Ultra performance wise and it struggles with COD4 even on 1024x768.

Because the rest of your PC is trash and not up to par with it? A video card is only one aspect when it comes to playing games on a pc.

Um you have no life. 20,000+ posts. Anyone with that many posts; daily life 365 days a year 24/7 revolves around Sleeping, then Waking up, followed by eating, and playing games then it continues over and over.

No! You had a chance to argue back. Don't stoop down. Come on!
