I would play that sucker right now but it probably wouldn't even move on my system. :( I know what you are saying but who needs a storyline in a FPS anyways? It's all about shooting and the colision detection looks awesome not like in STALKER where you are shooting the guy and get no feedback, you don't even see the blood or the body respond to the bullets so untill he dies you don't really know if you've hit him or not. The game looks really solid and the demo had no bugs at all, what do you wan't more? They were really showcasing the games engine not the game itself, it was more for other companies who might buy the engine and create their own games with it not for the public, that's why you didn't see any storyline. The game is waaaay overhyped though. The graphics aren't THAT great it's just the light, you see. That's what's making the difference, the light actually looks real, like coming from the sun not a neon. The engine looks really easy to use though so the one thing that is making me really excited is the prospect of serious online mods like CS was for HL. Just imagine, a really good online shooter with that engine. Now that will be awesome...
You guys are crazy. What a bunch of nerds. It's all about the games not the system you play them on. I owned anything from Ataris to PS2 and P4's. I was a SNES player but that didn't stop me to enjoy Golden Axe on the PC and then buy one. I don't know where this hate is coming from? I for one never really liked racing games. Then I played Grand Turismo and I loved it. I've allways said that I hate the Xbox for being too big and practically a computer just posing as a console but that didn't stopped me playin Forza Motorsport and enjoying it. But yeah there's one thing u can't do with a PC that you should do and can with a console. Just go out and buy a game from the store, then come home stick it in your system and play it. Oh no you have to wait, half an hour untill you installit and after you do that, IF it works,you still need the DVD. WHY? Oh and the fact you have to deal with Windows, the worst program ever invented. I hated this piece of buggy software from the start when i first tried it out on a 286. I was still using DOS and NC on my 486when the first pentium came out... The first thing I've noticed on Windows 95 was: So you have to push start to close the computer? Right...
I wouldn't drop your PC jsut yet that $600 PS3 can crank out 1080i HDTV. That is the equivalent of 1024 x760 resolution on the PC. Nowadays that is considered a lower resolution with resolutions havind a horizontal in the 2 and 3 thousands. The PC may cost 3 times as much but that is becuase it runs so much better.
You also want to consider the versatility of your PC. You surf the net play games type documents edit photos and video put music on your MP3 player. Out of that list your console can only do 2 of those things.

Nah.
"1080i, the former king of the HDTV hill, actually boasts an identical 1,920x1,080 resolution"
So yeah try that on your PC. You will need 8800 dual SLI to do that wich costs more than 1500 dollars. I allready have a PC for the internetDuuuuuuh...
sorry for being off topic but is there any gaming peripheral that could link keyboards and mouse into fps games for 360 or ps3 just interested
Well with keyboards it's easy. The consoles have USB ports so you just have to stick one in. As for a mouse I don't know if it can be done I will just buy a PS3 and never upgrade my PC again as shooters and strategy games are the only ones that are better on the PC anyways...
Hm... I will probably get flamed for this but you said the worst programmed game in history so for it to even make it first it must have a history so I would say Battlefield 2. Don't get me wrong BF2 is an ok game, I've played it a few nights, the game has potential BUT the bugs just killed it for me. 50% of the time just as I was starting the game on a server thething crashed, the menu is horrible and it's just the biggest resource hog ever. I mean come on the game doesen't even look that good really in comparison. I play UT2004 maxed out HL2 on normal settings both this games although UT is older look much better than BF2 but when I play it on medium the game moves sooo slow. Oh and the jumping prone thing that would make people almost impossible to hit andthe snipers oh the snipers, I put the crosshair on somebodys head as he is standing still at 50 meters away and shoot, nothing happens WTF? I shoot again this time straight in his chest still nothing happens. Once I had to shoot 5 times untill he was dead, oh and countless other bugs and glitches justruined the game big time...
[QUOTE="ParadoxOne11"]Really? With 800 you get a graphics card for a high end machine and maybe some ram but that's about it...EntwineX
No, if you build it yourself you can prolly get a pretty decent machine with it, okay, maybe not a high end, but one that plays current games very well. If you have monitor and OS already, like most people prolly do.
Yeah I know. Even with 400 dollars you can buy a decent PC second-hand that can play some of todays games but I was talking about the high end stuff like an 8800 sli rig. You need 2000 for that...
My point is, with 800 dollars you won't get a machine that can handle let's say Crysis at max levels like a PS3 can easily or another machine that is atleast comparable with the graphics power of the PS3. You'll need lik 1400+ to do that...
