PC Graphics are overrated by this forum

TC, here is your link:

Performance, platform, and many other factors were considered before we decided which game blew us away with its sheer visual prowess.GioVela2010

It's not just based on what is 'technically' the best.

How is it vague?

Sounds spot on to me, in this context, it refers to the platform's hardware, an open platform and the closed platforms with many limitations in place are judged in a different manner, different standards apply...

He's trolling, him and 90% of any gaming forum usually agree with the fact that PC has better gfx...

I guess you didn't get the award Tc, did you? The technical is always compared to other titles on the systen. After Crysis it's pretty hard to amaze again. That doesn't mean PC graphics look worse (lol xD), it just means they're more surprised how console games go to the limit and I agree. Most PC games waste GPU power

I remember showing my cousin my PC with games like Batman AC and Crysis 1/2 fully maxed out at my resolution and he was floored. He had no idea just how bad console graphics truly are. He always thought consoles had the best graphics.

In that case, maybe no mobile game impressed the GS staff with the clever use of limited hardware like the PS3 devs did in GoW 3, UC2, etc?

But at this point, you're just embarrasing yourself, grasping at straws. You got proven wrong on all counts here, I'd just go ahead and leave the thread, if I were you. No need to make this hole any deeper...

Uncharted 3 (as an example) getting best technical award is relative to the hardware the game is running on. As a technical achievement, Uncharted 3 running on the PS3's hardware is a good technical achievement. It's relative to the PS3.

The thing about PC gaming is that 95% of devs are small / indie and don't have the budget to create amazing looking, polished games. Very very rarely will you get PC exclusives that look as good as something like uncharted or the last of us. RR360DD

Nothing hassurpassed Crysis from 2007 on console.

That doesn't really speak for the fact that you've actually played the game. Much less maxed it out. If you wanted to go above and beyond, you could take a screenshot of the game for us.

It doesn't matter much either way though. If you are playing Arkham Asylum maxed out on your PC and you still believe the graphics are indistinguishable between the PC and consoles, you'll just be called an idiot.

Logically though, I'm not sure how anyone can believe $500 hardware from 2006 is equivalent to $1000+ hardware from 2012. My GPU (GTX 670) cost almost as much as I spent on either console. Yet you would like others to believe your consoles are just as powerful?

The awards are "most impressive per platform", not most impressive overall. There have been DS game nominated for best technical graphics on GameSpot, so either this thread is pointless, or the DS is just as powerful as the PS3.

Uncharted 3 (as an example) getting best technical award is relative to the hardware the game is running on. As a technical achievement, Uncharted 3 running on the PS3's hardware is a good technical achievement. It's relative to the PS3.

It's common sense. If they actually meant best graphics, PC would win it every year. There would be no point in doing it.

You'll run out of those straws very quickly... how many more idiotic angles can you try?

I think graphics in general are overrated, but that relates back to the fact that immersion in a video game is generally overrated.

You gonna prove it it keep talking nonsense? GioVela2010

[QUOTE="RR360DD"][QUOTE="-Unreal-"] Do you want a list of PC exclusives that are better looking than those two?clyde46

Yeah you do. Games like TLOU stand out because of attention to detail and polish, something a lot of PC games lack.

I agree with some of this.... but in the meantime it makes multi-plats all look amazing... I didnt believe it till I saw it running with my own eyes... playing Dishonored and Im close to saying it is the best looking game Ive seen, and this is a game that is not praised for its technical graphics by any means

[QUOTE="GioVela2010"]You gonna prove it it keep talking nonsense? UCF_Knight

[QUOTE="clyde46"][QUOTE="RR360DD"]No need. I had a look through that list of upcoming 2013 PC games, and its quite evident the majority are from small devs with small budgets. Most looked like something I could play on my iphone, very few matched console heavy hitters like TLOU.RR360DD

And yet every multiplat looks way better on PC.

Doesn't matter when it's consoles that are making better use of each pixel and texture. To the point that console games look better than most PC games through out most of said consoles lifetime.GioVela2010

Wii U mad TC?

It's all in the contexst. Here, the common sense argument can apply, and is also backed up by that quote about platforms a few pages back...

In your case, you said:

"It's common sense how 5.1 surrond is more prevalent in console gaming than in PC gaming."

How can you know that?

[QUOTE="GioVela2010"][QUOTE="UCF_Knight"] You believe Sony packaged a $600 console in 2006 that competes with high-end $1000 PCs in 2012. It doesn't get much more nonsensical than that.Fizzman

[QUOTE="GioVela2010"]You gonna prove it it keep talking nonsense? UCF_Knight

I don't think anyone would actually believe that, the thing is that PC games aren't making the best use of the hardware. PC development isn't going to go far beyond console as it wouldn't be profitable. Yes, PC games look better, but except for a select few, the benefits don't go beyond better aa and resolution.
