Dice can do no wrong on this forum, all the faults of battlefield 3 are being overlooked and the game and engine are being hyped through the roof. The sad thing is the gunplay looks to be the same as Bad company 2 which was ok but not great imo
Ehh.....I have been hearing this argument since the NES days, something is always wrong with gaming blah blah blah. Maybe its just personal for you. I however think this is the best generation ever and would never trade the longer games,mature themes,developed storylines and moral choices/sandbox play for ramped up difficulty,insanley hard bosses and lack of saves that only served to cover up how little there really was in old school games. Just my opinion. mattykovax
Lol i completely disagree...theres no way in my eyes this is the best generation ever. As an fps fan, in 2004 on pc we had cod2, riddick, half life 2, doom 3, farcry and painkiller more variety than this whole gen altogether.
So now that the Battlefield 3 Engine's destruction (the main attention of the engine) is getting nerfed to a lower level than Frostbite 1.0, there really is no reason to hype the engine so people can stop now. The only real difference from BC2 on PC is they added Motion blur options and the only difference in Console version is the added MLAA support? Im talking about the Engine here, Not the gameplay....which should still be fun

1. No it's not. It's what we've been seeing. They just aren't allowing buildings to collaspe anymore.
2. Yes. The engine is a graphical BEAST and will easily be the best looking game (on PC of course. Consoles could never handle it.) That's just the icing though. The real cake is the Battlefield gameplay, which is by far the best of any FPS. They use much more advanced lighting, physics, sound has been improved even further, EXCELLENT animation engine from EA Sports, and more.
Then maybe the devs will actually start focusing on other things such as AI which has barely improved since Half life 1....and gameplay which IMO is getting more and more simplified every year espically in the increasingly stale fps genre.
Sorry, but PC are in fact a gen ahead. Do bad a lot of devs seem to be ignoring that and not taking full advantage of what the PC can do. That's not PC's fault, it is the devs fault.

Um well if pc doesnt have the software then its not a gen ahead....no point having so much power if barely any of it is used.
Trust me....alot of hermits on this forum kid themselves! As ive said a million times, the top pc games eg Crysis 2 and Witcher 2 are where Half life 2 and Farcry were last year, basically the start of next gen. Every other game is definitely not a generation ahead lol can anyone seiriously say for example mass effect 2 on pc is a gen ahead of mass effect 2 on consoles? Ofcourse its not, a casual gamer could probably barely tell the difference between them. And the idiots who think pc is 2+ gens ahead of the consoles...i really dont know what to say to you.....you think Crysis 2 not only will look better than anything on the new consoles but also the consoles after that? Laughable to say the least! It would also mean a serious halt in graphical improvement over the next 10 years considering high end cards out now are barely taxed by anything unless are ridiculous resolutions.
First of all let me just say that, this is not a thread about how PC games are getting "consolized".Do you think that STALKER 2 is going to be "streamlined" like many other PC exclusives to appeal to a larger audience because I seriously doubt the game will attract the typical console crowd if it is not "streamlined".

Nope. For few reasons
- the main market for the game is PC and that's where the devs will make most of their money, so there's little incentive to damage it for sake of making the porting easier.
And second, the recent info shows the game is actually being made as PC exclusive, with eventual PS3 release only considered at this moment. So even if console versions happen, they won't have a chance to affect pc version negative;y/
Let us hope you are right.....however if they look at the sales of COD and try to emulate it then i think we have reason to worry. Also multiplayer....stalker has never been about multiplayer, if they have a large focus on it this time around i would seriously be worried!
