What features do you want next-gen consoles to take from the PC?

[QUOTE="Arach666"] Hmm,they were decent by console standards,I guess. Nothing like a Supreme commander or a World in conflict though(among many,many others).kolkov01

Log off from GS and go get yourself a game of SC! I demand it! :P

(oh,you do have a gaming rig,don´t you?because otherwise SC won´t run very well)

PS: Try UaW later,it´s good,but not as good as Supreme imo.

How cool would it be if the next xbox were compatible with MS-DOS, windows 95, 98, ME and XP games?

Most of which are not playable with a controller, and need Windows libraries to run properly :D

You can also do that on your PSP.

I think I have enough to play then on medium settings at least

Pentium Dual core CPU E5200 @2.50GHZ

Nvidia 9600GT 1024MB

4GB RAM

i mean, it's already 2010. of all the games ive played i think it was only GT5p that had it. psh.

[QUOTE="Arach666"][QUOTE="Brainkiller05"]You're right about consoles slowly becoming PCs, so it's kinda funny when and ironic when consolites say PC gaming is dying or bad. Open your eyes, all 360/PS3 is = cheaper and worse version of a PC, it's got to the point were consoles do practically everything a PC does just at a worse standard.AmnesiaHaze

not really . my ps3 can do MUCH more than my PC - it can barely run multiple internet explorer windows at the same time and i get "virtual memory low" all the time , i just don't want to spend so much cash on PC so i can run the same games as on consoles for significantly less

we cannot compare "PC" to "console" at all - console is usually 1 config with slight differences (HDD size for example on ps3 , color on wii etc.) but PC has basically hudrets maybe thousands of different hardware specs i would never say PC gaming is dying though , how can it even die ? that's not possible. both are good , it's just a matter of personal preference and budget size when it comes to games

That has nothing to do with outdated computer specs, it simply means you're running out of space on the C: drive (or wherever you have the swap file). Free up some space and you're done.

I want a large HDD and all games to be dl'd to the HDD.

Agree on all points. Especially the hard copy. I can't stress enough how much I would hate having everything digital.

I agree I dont want to a full install of every game out there not to mention games are going to get bigger not smaller. How many hardrives am i going to have to buy if every game is packing 50gb of data.

[QUOTE="Cranler"]

[QUOTE="muscleserge"] I am afraid these things would drive up the costs to far for consoles, even if selling at a loss. Not only cost of consoles would go up, but development costs would as well.lpjazzman220

Remember that the 360's gpu wasnt far behind the top of the line gpu's on pc when it was released.

Its actually less work to just go to 1080p than stay at 720p and use the xtra power to improve the graphics.

i dont really see how hard it would be.....the companies have said that next-next gen consoles are still a couple of years off.....so i dont see how a 5870 would be too much out of the question for 400-600usd, cause by then we'll have probably 7870's or at least 6870's...i mean, look at the price of 8800's last year, you can get them for around 100usd, give or take 20usd, when the ps3 and 360 came out, 8800's were nearly 1000usd. i really dont see the problem with that, and lets face it, i dont think that there is going to be much advancement cause graphics havent gotten thaaaaaaat much better in the past 3 years. so i think it is completely feasible to have 1080p w/60+fps on a console in the next gen, and the graphics would be amazing for a good price point

It depends on the visuals the conosles are releasing. No current pc card is going to hold a candle to what the next consoles do.

You guys with your stupid suggestions like upgradable GPUs and support for XP games and keyboard mouse support! GAWD!!!! (BTW how are you going to use a keyboard and mouse for living room gaming?)

Also OP, the term PC, which stands for personal computer could technically mean a lot of things. The so-called consoles are computers themselves if not anything else. And it you aren't playing at your local homeless shelter, it means they're personal.

Dont worry about PC gaming dying anytime soon. As long as RPGs and MMOs are out there atleast.

Developing for consoles is easier because devs dont have to worry about different people having different systems and can concentrate on making better games rather than hardware compatibility.

Anyways, as to your question, I believe that since digital distribution is going to be the next big thing, it would be good if consoles opened up to third party digital distribution companies like Sony did for Amazon. That way, we have more competition and better pricing. Imagine if you had to buy all your PC software and games only though your Microsoft or Apple online store!!!!

On one hand I would say 45nm quad core cpus for the raw power but on the other I like how game companies experiment with non-x86 cpus.

I would not like to see modding on consoles. That would just lead to an increase in hacking and cheating. I also think that upgradeable parts would cause more problems than they would solve. A big benefit of consoles is that you can buy a machine and know that games will be designed exactly for your system until the next one comes out.

I suppose if I had to pick one it would be access to third-party software distribution sites. Of course this would undercut their profits so I doubt it will ever happen.

The multi-player! For Krom's sake fix the multi-player on the consoles! It's my only real problem with them and why I like older non-multi consoles better where they used the consoles strengths instead of trying to be a gimped PC.

Out with cell-phone ping bars, match making and games hosted players consoles on the other side of the world. In with data servers running local 24/7 ded servers, proper ping readings, server borwsers with filters, server administrators, clan matches (proper clan matches not those psedu ones on the consoles now) and everything else that has been standard for multiplayer games for the last 10 years.
