WHy do the consoles have the best looking games?

Even though they are way weaker than any recent high end pcs? Dosent it make pcs waste of resources? Multiplats barely looks better on pc. I coudnt see any difference in rivals 1600p vs 1080p on ps4.

This will end well

Consoles only have 1 sku for developers to focus on, and the console is built specifically for gaming, there are lots of different kinds of PCs with a wide range of power, and they are built to do everything.

They don't. Next-gen titles are looking pretty sweet, but you still have games like Crysis 3 on the PC.

It's probably that new system hype... It's definitely that new system hype.

At the moment, you either have great graphics or a great game, not both. Just look at KZ, looks fantastic, its boring as hell.

Because they don't

Resolution is the biggest gimmic of them all, res such as 720p is perfectly fine as long as the graphics are good.

Depends on the PC.

BS.

>Resolution
>Gimmick

Dude...

Right... No.

They don't, console just get the games with a lot of presentation. Most PC exclusives don't make great showcases for commercials like the multiplatforms do.

It's not about graphics, it's about which games can be presented better. That should change with Star Citizen. For instance:

100% real time. Easily the best looking video game ever made. PC exclusive.

Art direction?

Because they obviously aren't on a technical level. PC gets all the best looking shit.

TC is blind.

Embedding of videos is broken I believe

lol no

Because you are playing on a piece of shit low spec PC. Console games don't look as good as my PC makes them look. Seems it is time for you to upgrade.

Poo.

Not if his sig is to be believed.

He's just a troll, he does this shit on other boards too including PC Games and previous PC hardware boards

You're delusional

Someone hasn't played KZ!

Alot of it comes down to the budget. 1st party games like Uncharted/KZ have a ton of capital thrown into them.

Most serious pc titles today have to survive off Kick starter to release even a working demo.

Pretty sure that's not true

Implying crowd funding is a bad thing.

Given recent trends, I'd say it's closer to the truth than you might want to think.

Just look at star citizen, the current centerpiece of PC graphics. It relied heavily on fan funding.

I guess it depends what you mean by "serious PC titles" and then you have to look at if they are actually going for teh grafix. Because a lot of those crowd funded/kick starter/greenlight games are indie titles which are more about gameplay than graphics

Where did I say it was a bad thing? It's just further evidence that large studio's would rather chase the console money train than divert resources into the high end pc subculture.

Yeah, I was mostly referring to games that focus on immersion through high end graphics, I realize there's a booming indie scene.

That console money train is getting harder and harder to get on. Just look at GTA5, it cost over 100,000$! It takes some serious cash to get games on consoles. Hell, there have been previous console devs moving to Kickstarter etc because they can't get publishers to fund them because the suits don't think they'll make enough money back.

There is obviously pro's and con's to crowd funding, the biggest pro in my eyes is you are not beholden to a publisher which means you don't have the suits breathing down your neck etc. However, on the flipside you are then beholden to the backers that gave you money in return for a finished product.

I assume you mean over 100 million? not $100,000

You assume correctly.

I agree, there's no clear cut best outcome here.

I honestly haven't been that impressed with the big name titles that have come from kick starters thus far, hopefully that changes.

You think you're smart but you are probably dumber than most trolls here.

Called out, eh? Suck it up, and take it up the bum, sunshine.

consoles have always had the best looking games.

Because if you aint gaming on a $3000 alienware you aint doing it correct you noob

Based on, what? Resolution? Texture resolution? AA method? AF Method? Particle effects? What?

PC has the top 10 (in a row) gfx kings of each and every gen.

Stop trolling/lying.

No, I just act like I'm smart, but I know I'm dumb :P

How exactly am I trolling?

There are some amazing looking console games, but PC will usually have the best looking games. Consoles are more known for being better polish. Developers have this thing on PC where they like to release the game, and patch later...and sometimes never. It costs much more to release a patch on consoles than it does on PC>

No, it doesn't.

And I think both you and the OP need to stop trolling/lying.

You both need to name them... For the lulz.

In other words, offline multiplayer. That's the main reason I use consoles for. Well, that and the console exclusives. Otherwise, I usually prefer playing multi-plats on PC.

PC games usually have more bugs. I don't need you telling me it is a myth. I have lived it for over a decade and a half. It's just the way it is. There are more variables to consider and it is easier to patch a PC game than a console game. I gave you two facts. Now, you give me something besides some experience you have which probably isn't true.
