[QUOTE="Slimmin360"] Those graphics cards will not be in all PC's on the planet, and it is therefore more costly for dev's to development a game in 3 or 4 iterations of performance for the minimum- medium, and maximum requirements for various PC's. They prefer to develop for a console because of it's singular hardware with a singular install base, no minimum or maximum requirement versions required, they can just max out the games settings for the PS4 or Xbox One for that matter, and thus the game will run. Face it consoles are just better all the way around!!!145ty
Not all devs think like that. Take a look at most of Square Enix published games this gen like Sleeping Dogs, the Batman Arkham series, Tomb Raider, etc. They outclass their console counterparts by a large margin graphically and run with better framerates.Â
I don't have to face anything, I know better. As a platform the PC will always be better.Â

I hear people hyping The Last of Us graphics, I played it. Â It looks horrible compared to PC games from years ago, and pretty much every port out as well. Full of jaggies and horrible textures, what they did with the hardware was pretty amazing, but people really need to stop trying to hype up the console graphics as they will be quite dissapointed.

Hope they understand that the consoles were holding back the PC / Ports. Â Now that they are using a more PC-like architecture porting to PC should be even easier. Hell the next-gen consoles are basically a mid-tier gaming PC from a year ago (well the PS4 is, the X1 is like a mid-tier from 2 years ago)
The thing I noticed a lot this gen as far as hyping console graphics is how people tend to miss the compromise devs make to make games look good on consoles. Take Killzone for instance, the graphics look great for the most part but usually you are playing in small cutoff areas with an FOV the size of a mailslot. Sure you can make these games look great but you have to do tricks to get that effect. On a PC you really don't have that and if your box isn't powerful to handle the graphics (or physics) you can dial it down.The reason why you still see Crysis brought up so much is because it's a very good example of uncompromised graphical game design and how it can stand up through an entire console generation without peer. It still looks better than most console games.
