Ports to the PC already look better than their Xbox360 and PS3 counterparts.

Actually I'm just talking about the 360, but I suppose it extends to the ps3. Look at the screenshots of Call of Duty 4 and Gears of War for both pc and 360 and you'll know what I mean.

What the **** are you talking about? A port is a the same game on a different platform - possibly with modifications.

I agree on GR:AW

lol, GRAW was far superior on the 360. As for Gears, well I hope it looks better since its already out on the 360.

Unfortunately PC's are not an uniform platform where all machines are equal. Things might look better on hi-spec machines, but the *vast majority* of PC users will still get way better graphics on their 360 or PS3.

same game on a diffrent console is a multiplat

"And GRAW,hell yeah!"

that statement was sarcasm considering the 360 version was superb while the PC was trash.

GRAW for the PC is totally different than the other versions, and is made by different devs with a completely different engine. GRAW PC is not a port. It's made specifically for the PC. Many people actually prefer it over the arcadey 360 version.

Its pretty obvious that they would. But if the developer doesn't optimise well enough, it won't mean a thing.

They do look better on the PC but that does mean that they play better

When are people going to admit it's a matter of personal preference. I just bought a brand, spanking new top of the line gaming pc. But as much as I'm enjoying it, it doesn't mean I'm going to start buying the PC versions of all the games coming out. Playing on Live, acheivements, my Lazy Boy recliner, xbox 360 controller, and 32" HDtv (especially when a game has split screen co-op) is my preferred way to play. Might some of the games look better on the PC? Maybe they do, but there are other factors to consider when I choose a platform to buy a game for.

And then there's the people who don't have 2 gb of RAM and Direct X 10 compatible graphics cards like I do. I imagine the decision is a lot easier.

I am not bashing the PC. I love my PC, and I play a lot of new PC-exclusive titles on it. But I think a lot of PC gamers have a very elite-ist, self-righteous (not necessarily this OP but I see it a lot on the PC forum) attitude. There are good and bad things about ALL of the gaming platforms, including the PC and the consoles.

There is often no difference between a port and a multiplat, other than the fact that one version may come out before the other. What's your point, deathtrap90?

The thing with the pc is that you can hook it up to your hdtv and sit on your recliner with a controller. not too mention pc online is far better than xbox live anyway.

The pc is a fully customisable gaming platform. its only limitation is how much your willing to spend and put into it. I enjoy that far more than being stuck with the same box everyone else has for 5 years.

I was mostly trying to say that defenders of xbox360 and ps3 should not boast about their graphical capabilities.
