So the quality of a game is all aout resolutions and visual effects now? :lol: !

Ravensmash

Framerates, ect, ect, ect.

If you want to buy the inferior version of the game for more money thats you. Might as well game on an SDTV if that's how you feel about it. But you're not going to tell me you'd rather play your games on a SDTV over an HDTV now would you?

I have no problem with you paying $10 more for slower loading, inferior resolutions, inferior framerate, inferior AA, and inferior draw distances, coupled with the lack of physX.

Your money not mine. You can do whatever you please with it.

Well, I wasn't impressed with it overall especially indoors. Going outside did look pretty good though.

Nope, not at all. Like I said before, that's simply a use of hyperbole to exaggerate the noticeable -- and with physx -- vast differences.

The differences seem to lie with the inclusion of some excellent physx (which kills your FPS unless you set the clothing physics to just your character) and added resolution and better particle effects etc.

Either way, console owners are gonna get a great experience from it.

When did I call it bargain bin junk? Simply stated it as being inferior to which it factually is.

[QUOTE="AiurProtoss"][QUOTE="millerlight89"] How come I never hear people saying console elitism? I am sure you are aware console players do the same exact thing.ferret-gamer
I am fully aware that there are stupid remarks on bith sides but I rarely see console gamers talking down to people that can only afford a console or don't have an adequate PC to runt the game. I just find it stupid and sickening that people have t talk down on certain versions of a game or people that play them when the visuals only the visuals are superior, its not like they are playing Mafia 0.000009 instead of Mafia 2.

You mean just like the 360 fanboys were doing with their multiple threads about how the ps3 version looks horrible compared to the 360?

And the hypocrisy of it all makes me laugh all the more. Its okay for PS3/360 fanatics to bicker back and forth over who has the better version but when the obvious is stated via the PC supremacy people are doing a bad thing to talk about the PC version being better lol

Hopefully the demo builds are not final, because that framerate is insufferable. Other than that the 360 demo at least, is alright.

I shall be swapping my Mafia II pre-order for something else and pick up the PC version instead. Anyone thinking of doing the same, and who lives in the vicinity of England, should order from HMV and get a free copy of Public Enemies on blu-ray.

Ive seen people argue ps3 vs xbox 360. Truth is both console versions are just bargain bin junk judging by the demo. Not a huge surprise considering mafia 1 was exactly the same situation.

gillri

what about people that dont have a mid-spec plus PC?

PC version looks great but it better fully support a 360 controller, TPS and driving isnt great with a keyboard and mouse

Mass Effect 2 says "Hi" (to TPS being not great with KB + M)

Only people who pull that up are console gamers. I know there are PC gamers like this, but it seems to me console gamers are stuck on it more. Then you have PS3 and 360 gamers treating Wii gamers just the same if not worse, so I still do not see the point of PC players getting labeled "elite."

Actually, if the DLC is bundled on the disc itself, with the DLC download simply unlocking it (which has happened with several recent titles), I wouldn't be surprised if someone makes a mod that can restore it if it's present on the PC disc awaiting a non-exclusive release later on.

you're wrong. the 360 version has apex clothing physics, which is absent on the ps3.

the ps3 version also lacks certain particle effects, as proven at 0:47.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzkIhgp27r8

*sight, perhaps read my posts. i said that it has more that the ps3, i said that they are the same type not PHYSX/APEX. Physx/apex can ONLY be hardware accelerated on NIVIDIA 8-series and higher, and the 360 has an ATI XENOS. And as for the cpu implementation the cpu in the 360 is nowhere near powerful enough, the physx in mafia 2 will cripple i7 procs and even gtx 480 in the hardware accelerated mode.
