Although the blurrier textures and higher resolutions will always be superior on a decent PC, I think the darker images the 360 and PS3 lent could be fixed with a simple gamma/brightness adjustment. If GTA4 looked like the PS3 screenies on my TV (I have it on a 360), I would definitely be adjusting the settings.
This really doesn't seem like monstrous news to me. Basically the same PSP I bought several years ago, with a minimally better display. Without a second analog nub or anything drastic, to me it just seems like a PSP.
Crysis is at the crux of the age-old issue "Upgrade now or wait for the next thing". These games make us desire to upgrade so that we can play at the highest possible quality, which is great for the industry, and for getting folks to move to the next thing. The problem is, especially with Crysis, we upgrade our hardware in advance, buying top-of-the-line GPUs in order to run the game with all the bells and whistles, and then aren't even able to play it at those settings. While I still haven't upgraded my GPU from my old 7900GS (ran out of money after CPU/mobo/ram), I can't say I'm not a little relieved that I wasn't able to. I guess waiting for the 9800 series might not seem like such long time anymore. However, for those people who bought $500+ video cards just to play Crysis on Very High at a playable frame rate, I empathize.
"Why won't the Xbox 360 die already?? Nobody likes you Microsoft" Yeah. I'm sure you're accurate with that statement.... Actually, I thought Jeff saying Burnout 5 is a game you know nothing about was kind of interesting. I'd guess it's quite a bit like, oh, I don't know, Burnouts 1-4? Driving and wrecking cars seems to be in the future for the series...
