Thats FEAR PC which us hermits had in 2005 while consles best looking game was probably Halo 2, which by the way couldn't be played in HD as you know, like we could play FEAR and other amazing looking games at. Anyway in a couple years do you think PCs will be vastly ahead of consoles graphics wise like they were last gen? Or ust kinda superior?

Xbox was released in what, 2001? And you're comparing it to a 2005 PC game maxed-out?

.... wow... you have got to be kidding me... Did this thread seriously go right over your head? Thats the entire point of the thread... He is asking if because the hardware advances so quickly, will the PC be as far ahead as it was last gen...

Yep. Thats the point. PCs were way out of the consoles league, I'm wondering if in 2008 the difference will be as vast as something like Halo 2 to FEAR maxed out.

Its an inevitability. I mean we're seeing games like Crysis on the first go around of games for the PC this generation. Its only going to get better. The real question is, how much better could it even get?

The best game graphically speaking on consoles was Ninja Gaiden Black and because of the clean art style it can generally be compared to Pc titles.

Crysis is the beginning of the age of PCs seperating themselves from the consoles graphically, and what, its been only 2 years since the 360 came out, 1 for the rest of the consoles?

No. Was the PS2 to PS3 leap in graphics as large as the PS to PS2? Nope. This is a case of decreasing marginal utility. If you increase the processing power of your machine in steady increments, the graphical progress will still slow down. The technical difference between the two will be as great, maybe even greater, but the graphical difference will be smaller.

Cell is something very complicated and nobody could ever master it even with the years to come, it's just to hard. It can make the pc look like a piece of dirt. But its just to hard right now and the technology in the ps3 doesnt match up to the technology the developers have to use.

Well common sense will dictate that as long as New hardware such as video cards, cpus and such the difference will slowly and diffenetly be more apperant.

That was easy :|

Consoles always just manage to scratch the PC when they're released (kudos to the Cell for doing more than a scratch), but otherwise, in a couple year's time, their hardware becomes obsolete.

Er sorry, my point being "yes, it will be big", but not as big as last gen IMO.

It's not as big because consoles are HD this gen. 640X480 could never compete with the higher resolutions on PC, while 1280X720 does a much better job of it.

BF2 is another one tha was far ahead of console graphics last gen, plus it had huge maps and permitted 64 players to be on a map at one time.

I think that this gen is going to be more about quality and breadth of content rather than graphical prowess, if Lair and Heavenly Sword have taught us anything.
