A wave of next-gen-pc-games need to hit before we'll see these consoles lagging.

Whoa hold your horses there mate. My rig easily destroys the 360 at everything and anything. The graphics card was only 120. Get a reality check, you're the one grasping.

My mate owns an EVGA 8800 Ultra, Intel Quad Core CPU and 2gb Corsair DDR2 RAM.
Not one game he owns beats the top range Xbox360 titles, when his PC is pushing games I can currently play, then I will admit as such.

The new comparison to see what one would pwn the other now is DiRT.
I think the 360 is value for money, but to be fair, a top of the range PC, even a top line Dell XPS, will blow away the 360 in tearms of graphics. The 360 will hold its ground, i do admit that, but i feel a top spec PC will blow away the 360 on Dirt. But you also pay for that :D
 
I am very sorry to go this way again, but those who believe the 360 can produce games graphically on par with PCs equivelant to my signature and beyond are sadly wrong. The 360 has seen reduced ports and PC games from two to three years ago. Far Cry, Oblivion, as well as later games such as Command and Conquer 3 goes a long way in showing that the 360 has nowhere near the capabilities of a high end gaming PC. Single specification or not, that doesn't matter. PCs are not horribly unoptimized beasts that refuse to run any games thrown at them if they exteed more than 5 years or so in a gap. People are making far too many ignorant assumptions and making silly arguments without remembering that the guy they're trying to rebutt is somebody who actually has both systems.

Yes the 360 is a great system, the best of the lot (including PCs) but people give its hardware too much credit. Even moreso towards the PS3. If you want REAL graphical power, forget it, you're not gonna find it in the console world. Leave that to us smug PC gamer lot.

Here is me thinking the PC was getting console ports... Halo 2, Shadowrun, Tomb Raider Legend, Tomb Raider Anniversary etc...
Far Cry is also an original game, not a remake of the PC game.
As for having both systems... What are you on about? Are you making an assumption that I do not run a good PC too?

Okay, so DiRT, a game that literally came out today is better than its console equivalent, well done. It only took 18 months. But I could play DiRT without a Mouse and Keyboard, sat on a couch, on a large TV or monitor at 1080p. Now who is smug? ;).

Microsoft dont get enough credit for the Xbox360 hardware, all you ever hear about is fails, fact is, they put a console out in December 2005 at a price of £150 that will outstrip ANY graphics card on the market for anywhere under 2 to 3 times the cost alone. That is without anything else.

PC gamers can be as smug as they like, it can only be used as a facade to hide the fact they have spent a fortune to match a console, only to be in a position having to play games at a desk, only they to have to download driver after driver and patches to play games correctly, meanwhile having to optimize all the graphics and audio settings. Meanwhile, any Xbox360 user can set their audio to 5.1 and HD mode on graphics and have it run beautifully.

Anyway, I am getting sidetracked now, my point still stands.
 
This could have been done in a different thread :rolleyes: ...14th september sounds great though i doubt it will meet it unless they are nearing completion, heres to hoping :).

This post proves you know nothing. It's a real shame I seem to be the only PC gamer on the console forum, but lucky for you, as your arguments would be ripped into little bits! I really can't be bothered to try though, you're obviously firmly entrenched in lalala-land and I need to go out for a meal with mates in half an hour.

Far Cry came out on 360 but didn't look as good as the PC version? Good god that must've been coded crap or something. :eek:

Or was it not made by Crytek?

As far as PC gaming goes it won't really be that far above till Crysis, currently the difference is pretty marginal.
 
Well, the fact that it was an individual effort made purely for the console to cater to its strengths, yet did not look anywhere near as good as the 2004 PC game says a lot.

Says it was made crap to me then as Rainbow Six Vegas, GRAW1/2 and quite a few other 360 games look far better than the likes of Far Cry.

Edit: Yep it wasn't even made by Crytek, so really I'm not surprised.

um the 360 controller is literally plug and play on a PC and you can plug and play a PC on any TV too so this argument is pointless
 
what have i started.

as i said earlier it does look really good, but i do own a xbox, and although i havent played too many games for it, i did play gow, and i seem to remeber it having slow downs. maybe they will fix all this with deeloment and what not, but im just saying what i feel. game may look good, but will prob have slow downs here and there. maybe im wrong. just my opinion

Actually, I am a games player. I will not be drawn into one catagory or the other. I have all 3 consoles and an up-to-date PC so I can play all the games that are released.

Wasn't made by Crytek, it was also made for the Xbox (1) and later ported over the Xbox360. That's why it looks like an Xbox (1) title.

360 controller on PC isn't standard. Nor is a PC connection to "any" TV. I can't Connect my PC to my Sony KDEP-42XS1.
 
Seriously guys take this elsewhere, its just not needed in this thread, each of you is firmly entrenched in your viewpoint and NOTHING any person has to say will make you change this, if you really want to argue then start a new thread about it.

(oh and btw i agree with Knives, as im about 50:50 PC:360 gamer I also know what im talking about :) )
