whats with this higher standards crap ??? PC does have higher standards like for graphics,online when it comes to having dedicated servers, and things of that kind. Example MW2 on the PC got an 8.5 for not having dedicated servers, something PC gamers are used to having in a FPS. But the overall game did meet the high standard of the PC. Now to say that some AA games on the PC are better than some AAA games on the consoles is completely ridiculous. AA game will be a AA game no mater how you look at it, it all depends on the standard set by the console/PC.

What was he talking about though ?... seems to me like his talking about a multiplat game. Like he said if the game release for the PC was the console version it would have to get a lower socre, because of the higher standard. But that does not automatically mean AA PC games are better than a AAA game on the consoles. Anyways I've seen that qoute a lot lately and people just miss use it imo.

He's talking about PC games using a higher standard of comparison when reviewed this applies to all games. No PC game in its review is compared to the console version, as console standards are based of other console games which has lower standards as he stated by saying the PC version would score higher 90% of the time. Its a general statement following an example using MW2. He goes onto say that when a PC version of a multiplat outscores a console version its due to the PC version being much better as he uses Metro 2033 as an example.

That doesnt factor in console exclusives so it doesnt matter.

*facepalm* If almost any said console exclusive was on PC it would get a lower score because of the PC's higher standards.

Thats because of the higher standards set by the PC. You cant just release UC2 on the PC with the same graphics,controls, and no dedicated servers. All those things are technical if Uncharted was to get the same 9.5 score it would have to be polished up for the PC. Though graphics like 720p P2P gaming on the consoles is normal and acceptable. But that quote up there mostly applies to muliplat games. Look at DAO for ex game got 9.5 on the PC, and an 8.5 on the 360. All it means is that the game didnt meet the standard set by the console.

1. Look at my other post.

2. Just making the graphics better and servers better doesn't equal the same score. Take GeOW for example:

Gears of War (360): 9.6

Gears of War (PC): 9.0

  • Better graphics
  • Mods
  • More content in SP
  • etc.

So in a lot of ways, yes a console AAA may only be a AA by PC standards. Its like comparing an F3 car to an F1 car, sure the F3 car maybe the fastest in its class but that doesn't mean it can stand up to a normal F1 car.

All consoles combined vs PC? I would honestly say the consoles would win there. Especially in such a comparison any console game not on PC would be "console exclusive" and a plus to the console. But this is hardly a fair comparison at all.

Well the price is very similair.

LOL touche good sir
