PC Gamers: Are any of you genuinely excited for the PS4 or XBOX ONE?

I'm primarily a PC gamer and I am excited by these new consoles. Most of the games I play are multiplat so I'm looking forward to seeing what the new power and acrchitecture changes will bring

Same drill like last time.......

PC for multiplats and pc exclusives, PS4 for the few PS4 exclusives (and sports games) that I want. If needed be, I'll also buy an XB1 for its exclusives. But, the majority of my games will still be on the PC.

Right now though, the only console I have any excitement for is the PS4.

This is the first console generation that I have no desire to buy a new console.

[QUOTE="SKaREO"]PS4 convinced me to toss my PC next gen. It's really that impressive.airshocker

does that mean you'll troll the PS4 boards instead of the PC boards? 

One can only hope.

Well, since I'm already going to enjoy better games, better graphics and better performance on my PC, I have to answer "no". Hope at some point, in two or three years, the so-called "next-gen" consoles will finally have a vaguely decent library. But that will be light years from the quality and quantity that can be found on PC.

Nope, but in a years time when they both perhaps have a more impressive library that what they are offering intially i may consider picking up one or maybe both depending on the exclusives each may offer over the other which might not be available on the pc.

[QUOTE="SKaREO"][QUOTE="realguitarhero5"] I thought you said you were buying a PS4 because it was more powerful.BluRayHiDef

Would be even more amazing if any part of it was true.

[QUOTE="BluRayHiDef"]

[QUOTE="SKaREO"] It has a higher power-to-price ratio. $400 for a system more advanced than any current PC hardware architecture. 8GB GDDR5 RAM in a unified archetecture is more powerful than any current PC. Even a GTX Titan only has 6GB of GDDR5 RAM and it costs $1000 for only a video card. For the price of a PS4 you get by far the most powerful dedicated computer gaming machine ever built.NameIess_One

Having more GDDR5 doesn't make it more powerful for a start, ya wally.Consternated

Except for my mild excitement towards Crimson Dragon on the X1, not really, i mean, i'm curious about the graphics, but that's about it. I gotta see some games that'll excite me to actually be excited about a system.  

[QUOTE="Consternated"]Having more GDDR5 doesn't make it more powerful for a start, ya wally.SKaREO

Hell, even my second rig... 3GB of GDDR5 on a 7950 OC'd @ 1100MHz. Surely that's less than half as powerful as a PS4.

Not really, it just looks like more of the same, except they look better graphically.PernicioEnigma

And the pc's already ahead at launch... and seems to be the lead platform for most of the games.

Oh wells.

[QUOTE="SKaREO"][QUOTE="Consternated"]Having more GDDR5 doesn't make it more powerful for a start, ya wally.Consternated

Different strokes for different folks. I enjoy playing above 1080p & at 120 (144) fps, without compromising visual fidelity. My second setup (3570k, 7950, 8GB RAM) can be put together for just a few hundred quid more than a PS4, and will trounce it in terms of sheer power. Having 8GB of GDDR5 doesn't suddenly make the thing a miracle box.Consternated

I was being sarcastic.

I agree, it's exciting - but it's still being utilized with a weak as hell APU.

How can anyone look at the specs and price of the Xbox and actually consider buying it? After it is reveal Microsoft cooperates with American spies and adds a mandatory camera and always-on microphone system to their new console. The level of stupidity astounds me.SKaREO

Even though the Playstation 4 and the XBOX ONE are already outclassed by current PC hardware, are there any PC gamers who are excited about them? If so, is your excitement in regard to the technical aspects of the consoles or just in regard to the exclusive games that they'll offer?

Despite the fact that neither console will compare to my PC, I am still excited about them, particularly about the PS4, which I pre-ordered. I'm looking forward to Killzone: SF, inFamous: Second Son, and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, the first two of which will never come to PC and the third of which will come to PC but only long after being released on console. As for the technical aspects of the machines, I think that even though they're weaker than current PC hardware, they'll still output impressive visuals because they're powerful enough and games will be designed specifically for their architecture.

The PS4 should be good, the xbone is pretty awful though.

Agreed. I played it for hours yesterday, maxed out at 1920 x 1080 and was in awe the entire time, especially during the parts where you can traverse the desolate, rocky environments while in a tank or those racing-like vehicles.

No. You and Geminon are the biggest trolls on the PC forums. Well known fact.

Haven't thought about it at all.

Im excited about seeing game development move away from 8 year old hardware... yes.  Im getting a Ps4 and I'm psyched to see what type of sensible gamercentric ideas valve has with the steam machines... The Xone has the most to prove for me, but I believe that MS will prove it's a worthy purchase... Yeah, Im psyched to get started.

[QUOTE="NameIess_One"]

[QUOTE="BluRayHiDef"] Wow. That's amazing.

Well... where do I start?

Actually, a better question, why even start?

[QUOTE="DarthRamms"]

[QUOTE="whiskeystrike"]

Not sure if I really "qualify" as a PC gamer as I still play consoles and handhelds a lot but yeah, I'm pretty excited about the PS4. Kingdom Hearts 3, Final Fantasy XV, Metal Gear Solid 5 and whatever else Japan throws at the PS4. Not to mention playing with friends on games like The Division.

People continue to talk about hardware and power but it's not showing in the PC games. 1080P/60FPS is nice but that still doesn't take high-end hardware for the multiplats. All of my favorite PC games have been indies or MMO/MOBAs, games that any laptop can play. The hardware talk is irrelevant when there are very few games that push it on PC. It's not just consoles holding back PC hardware, it's PC gamers themselves. The jump to next gen will be nice for a bit but the consoles will be capped relatively quickly and then we'll be back to blaming them for holding back PC games.

whiskeystrike

Yea we are really holding back pc hardware:roll: Could you please elaborate on this some more? And yep 1080p/60fps has become a big deal here on SW especially with lems and cows.

Thart survey is optional my PC is more powerful than next gen yet I never filled one wasn;t aware there was one when I started using steam and I know friend that haven;t filled one either.

Excited not even close . Why to be ? Playing Battlefield 4 for example at medium settins and 720p? You cant be excited with that kind of hardware.

Interested though, yeah i am. PS4 that is. I like some of their exclusives and its a company that always , whatever happens , delivers and value their customers.

[QUOTE="clyde46"][QUOTE="SKaREO"]How long now until Grand Theft Auto Online reaches the PC? Oh wait..SKaREO

I finished downloading Tomb Raider via Steam about twenty minutes ago (I got three free game keys with my HD 7970), and decided to try it out. I'm very surprised at how good it looks; I honestly did not expect it to be a visual powerhouse, but I was wrong. I'll post some screenies.

Dead? Pff. PC Gaming is awesome! The graphics make the immersion experience one hundred times better than on console. I've been playing Crysis 3 all day and it's been incredible. Full 1080P @ 50-60 FPS with all settings cranked up. You can't get that on console, baby.

I'll probably end up getting a PS4 should PC gaming find itself in a rut. However, i can't help but think that it'll just collect dust once PC gaming gets out of that rut.
