This thread is largely redundant isn't it? The thread title makes the claim that 'console gamers have no idea what the PC is capable of'...and then does not elaborate in the slightest. Moreover the game in question is being ported to consoles...which makes the natural response to that supposition 'the PC and consoles are capable of largely the same things'. As if to prove that point there is a graphics comparison video that basically, visually, second-by-second proves that point. Let's be honest here, it's very recognisable the same game across both platforms in that video. It looks better on the PC, sure, but that can't possibly be the point the OP is making because it isn't even worth elaborating upon (moreover the difference isn't big enough to support the assertion that OP has quoted). The end result of this thread is that 'console gamers still have no idea what the PC is capable of'. Moreover it's been discussed to death that what the PC is capable of is determined by specification. If the OP wants to make a point of what the PC is capable of, how about elaborating on the benefits games get from PC OS specifics? Moreover, If I can, I'd like to touch upon the massive hurt-body collective that is PC-gamers. Why do they (or anyone for that matter) feel the need to assert moot points? Because not everyone has unilaterally accepted their views? Why do you even care? The consensus is that, yes, PC games by and large look better than their console counter-parts...so just why are we here again? I can't fathom this for the life of me. The 'but they started it!' is just about the only response I can think of, and to that all I can say is 'and what?'. For what possible reason would you feel compelled to correct misinformation in the least important medium imaginable (internet forums)? Waste of both time and energy. And with that I will make a retreat from systemwars (I remember now why I don't come here that often). What I would like people to do is to ask themselves three things before they post 1. Why do I care about this? 2. What am I trying to prove? 3. Have I actually proven it? Most people should ask themselves 1 and then avoid posting altogether as I'm sure more people don't have a good answer to that.

A call for consistency in arguments: if we don't know what a PC is capable of, then why is it so often suggested that we're jealous of what a PC is capable of? We can't be jealous of what we don't know.

More and more DICE are sounding like the Elitist PC gamers that you'd find in this thread. All systems are good people.

APiranhaAteMyVa

They aren't being elitist just addressing unrealistic expectations. It is undeniable that a current PC is more powerful than a console, so anyone expecting the PS3 or 360 to look the same is delusional. I don't think they are saying any system is bad, otherwise they wouldn't be making a game on the 360 or PS3.

Their making ignorant assumptions about people who play on other systems, thats fanboyism. DICE should leave it to the rambling forums to argue PC superiority and actually awnser questions relating to their games.

[QUOTE="Phoenix534"]

[QUOTE="xhawk27"] I don't know the 360/PS3 combined could make a really great looking game. :D Yeah but it's not only the videocard you need a high power CPU, lots of Ram, etc. I have a 260GTX and I know I am not going to be able to run BF3 at 1080p @ 60 fps. xhawk27

Not at max no. But at medium-high(probably closer to medium) you could. BF3 is going to be pretty well optimized. And you don't need to spend a lot more money on a CPU or RAM either. You can get a could 4GB for less than $50 and an AMD Phenom II X4 for around $110.

I hope to get a 460 this fall to play BF3. I have an older Intel Quad 9550 and 4 gigs so I hope that can run it on high at 1080x1050.

I have a 460 and I can tell you it's great. But, by the time fall gets here we'll be seeing some of the next series cards coming out. You'd probably be better off with a 560ti. It'll probably be at 460 price by then. As for processor, it may not be the newest but it'll do you good for a while. The 9550 is a very, very solid chip.

I know it looks nice but that dosen't change my opinion on PC gaming. I know all about the mods, the power of the mouse and keyboard and everything else but I would still rather have a Wii and 360.

I think he is wrong. Most console gamers do realize that a high end PC is a semi generation ahead in technology...

Unfortunately for him, I don't think he has any idea how much console gamers don't care aboutthe PC...

ronvalencia

Radeon HD 2900 and Geforce 8800 GT is already generation ahead of console GPUs.

It ain't about the hardware it's about the produce, good sir. What've you got? AA, 60 FPS, 1080p? That is impressive but hardly a entire generation ahead... I do think the PC is a generation in front on paper, but what has the PC done that truly validates its superiority?

yep, pc gamers AND console gamers are acting like spoiled brats, but its the pc gamers who make the biggest deal here and i always ask if their getting the better looking version AND 64 players also why the heck do they care about consoles? Also the millions that play console games from all age ranges i'm not surprised they don't understand why the versions look different, thats a pretty broad statement. And hey guys guess what, the pc version, the ps3 version and the 360 version that money when you buy them all go to the same place they all go to DICE. I laughed alot in this thread, some of you guys need to stop arguing about a game and go outside and live a little.

To which Johan replied: "yeah some console gamers have really no idea what they are playing on or what a modern PC is capable of"

I think the some part is very important. There are some console gamers who had unrealistic expectations, there were a couple of threads here with people saying that they was disappointed it didn't look like the PC version.

Also the PS3 version looks amazing, people need to check out the HD footage comparing it to the PC, looks really great. I think DICE will do a top job all around, so everyone wins.

I agree, just look at SW, and in real life people think console has better graphics because it's made for gaming they don't even understand PC gaming.

So because no games make use of the technology, that means the technology isn't a generation ahead? That makes complete sense. No arguing that at all.

Consoles cost less than a mid-high range videocard. xhawk27

a glorified webcam or harddrive for the 360 costs as much as a mid-high range gfx card.

Thanks for telling me about the "some" part, point taken. Although they still remind me of PC Elitists though, because of their previous comments.

most console gamers have no idea about hardware, thats fine, but it does annoy me seeing all the comments about "oh if Dice worked on the PS3 version more it would look better than the PC version" "the power of the cell" 360 is holding BF3 back on PS3" etc etc

current PC's are 10x more powerful than consoles, John Carmack confirmed it, there is no debate to be had, if you want to debate it, make an engine better than john carmack, im waiting PS3 fans

Even though what he said is probably true, does DICE not realize that console gamers are hearing these quotes too? As an isolated quote this isn't too bad, but it fits into a larger context of quotes from the BF3 developers in which they make it clear the PC version is their main focus. With that attitude, there is no way in hell they will even come close to competing with MW3. I mean, I'll still probably buy BF3 for the PC, but I would consider myself primarily a console gamer, and I'm really getting sick of these quotes.

PC is more capable? Well if you have the slightest knowledge of hardware, you'd know that. I play consoles because I prefer the simplicity and the exclusives imo are better than anything on PC.

I like how everything is twisted so that it looks like flamebait. First of all, it's one guy from DICE on twitter, not entire DICE. And he said some console gamers, but the headline just says "console gamers" as if he's generalizing.

It's quite common for console oriented gamers to believe what the package tells them.

It's a common belief that console games are rendered at 1920*1080 for example, it does say 1080p on the back of the box afterall....

PC gaming is much better but it is really expensive compared to consoles. For example, as amazing as some of the MP shooter gameplay is on consoles, PC absolutely destroys it. More players, smoother framerate, better graphics, etc. That being said, consoles are still very fun. No need to hate.

Its not like you have to upgrade pc every year .. even 3 years old card can do alot better :)

I dont care for graphics so why do I need a gaming PC? thats all PC gaming is good for Graphics...Well thats the ONLY thing hermits talk about...OMG look at Crysis on max settings...BF3 PC>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>BF3 PS3 graphics lol uMAD? :roll:

Most of our most popular games are not even up to console graphics king standard... WoW, LoL , HoN, Starcraft II .... and many more.

Thanks for that great generalization, Johan. Too bad I don't care about how your game is optimized like s*** and I still wouldn't care about it if it was.enterawesome

I don't see how "some console gamers" is a generalisation...

Hehe I guess PS3 gamers thought that "The Cell" instantly makes their outdated system a super computer.

I tried explaining to one guy that the HD Twins were pretty much maxed out. He was like 'nah the PS3 isn't it's got the CELL blah blah' I explained to him that both HD Twins were bottlenecked by the RAM but it didn't sink in.

[QUOTE="Hashim19"][QUOTE="HaloinventedFPS"]

most console gamers have no idea about hardware, thats fine, but it does annoy me seeing all the comments about "oh if Dice worked on the PS3 version more it would look better than the PC version" "the power of the cell" 360 is holding BF3 back on PS3" etc etc

current PC's are 10x more powerful than consoles, John Carmack confirmed it, there is no debate to be had, if you want to debate it, make an engine better than john carmack, im waiting PS3 fans

Console cant compete with pc ever they console gamer also know this

um no they dont, most console gamers have no clue about hardware

Do "most" PC gamers have extensive hardware knowledge? Keep in mind that, ever since the often-quoted pie chart came out, PC gamers are now claiming FarmVille players as their own.

If you need more proof just go read comments on a BF3 PS3 gameplay YouTube video.

Grawse
So now youtube is a place that is taken seriously now? Why are we considering a site that is full of troll comments?

Given how much Crysis(Oblivion, Doom 3, HL2, Quake 3, HL, Quake II) has been spammed all over the web, I'd think console gamers are more than informed of what PCs are capable of.

I don't understand why people have to waste their precious breath bragging about PC supperiority.... current hardware vs. 6 year old hardware is hardly a fair fight.

Even though what he said is probably true, does DICE not realize that console gamers are hearing these quotes too? As an isolated quote this isn't too bad, but it fits into a larger context of quotes from the BF3 developers in which they make it clear the PC version is their main focus. With that attitude, there is no way in hell they will even come close to competing with MW3. I mean, I'll still probably buy BF3 for the PC, but I would consider myself primarily a console gamer, and I'm really getting sick of these quotes.DarthBilf
Yeah, and Bobby Kotick has certainly never said anything to dissuade people from buying COD. At the end of the day, almost nobody will ever hear the quotes, COD will sell like crazy on the consoles, and the PC version of Battlefield 3 will make DICE a ton of money. You have to realize that the goal is to maximize profit, not outsell COD. Why wouldn't DICE promote the superior (and most profitable) version of their game?

You'd think so but that's not the case.

They want to go against COD. They have talked about it numerous times.

You'd think so but that's not the case.

Perhaps we're talking about console-only kiddies?

You'd think most reasonable folks understand that a cutting-edge PC that has 2011 tech and cost anywhere from 3-10 times the amount of a console would outperform $300 2005 tech.

Did somebody important say the PS3 version is better than the PC version, or something?
