Playstation 4 being announced February 20th?

Its you talking out of your arse, since you cant provide a rig that will match the PS4 graphically. And considering i'm not the one who made the claim, is just funny. So it was MR Men talking out of his arse then?

We've seen what the PS4 can do in its early early form via the Killzone 4 demo, unless you missed it.

Calm down with the insults, this is a family forum.

The Killzone demo was running on a PC was it not.
 
No one can provide a rig compareable. Anyone who claims it is clueless. We need ddr5, we need an os customized to the system, we need dev support who develope for that dedicated spec. So go on. Give me that fir 400 quid. Nothing better than reading these silly comments sometimes. I bet this thread would be half size if we separated dumb from well, not dumb

A video of a demo specifically designed to impress people is hardly a benchmark of what a console can do in the real world. I also don't see how you can compare two systems when there are no games out for one let alone a cross platform title for both.

Exactly, was it i who made the claim? Nooooo lol

Secondly it was live game play from an early level of the game, what more do you want? What do you think its going to switch to snes graphics on the 2nd level?
 
its still not possible to build a PC that will play Little Big Planet or uncharted, even launch titles such as heavenly sword like the PS3 do so why bother with trying to build one that will look like the PS4.

surely people buy consoles to play games not to see how great a game looks, go back an play some 16 bit games they still play fantastic, i buy a console to play games, i buy a PC to do many things, thats what they are for.

edit: same could be said for Xbox 360 although im not sure how many games stayed console exclusives and didnt end up on PC at some point

You were the person who claimed you'd need a 680+ to match the graphical fidelity of a PS4 which is quite frankly, laughable.

Fact of the matter is the is no way to accurately compare two different systems when one isn't even released yet.

if anything that link proves it cannot be done, specifically the below part.



The rest – $50

The rest of the components you can put together from any number of budget parts. So long as the PSU has a PCIe power connector for your graphics card you’re good to go. With that and a cheapo chassis you can have the lot for another $50.

I’m assuming you have a display, as I’d assume a PS4 buyer would have a TV, and you’ll notice I’m not including a Blu-ray drive here. Not because I’m trying to stick to a price-point, but because optical media’s dead, man. We’ve got digital downloads and operating systems that can be installed from USB sticks, so why would we?


$50 (£35) for a PSU, Chassis and a Blu-Ray Drive which will last at least 5 years and up to 10?

Also they specced DDR3 ram and not GDRR 5, which is much more expensive, same goes for the cpu it is 6 core, not 8 core, etc, etc. in fact they just made up the rules to suit themselves.

No need for a blu-ray drive as it says, point being you can get a PC for around £400.
 
Why has this thread turned into a PS4 vs PC thread? If you're a console gamer you should be excited to get the next gen consoles. We're on the OcUK forums so it's safe to say most people here will have a PC. Some of those people will choose to have both, why, well that could be for many reason 1) The want to play games that will never be released on a PC 2) They want to play games on a level playing field with others who have the same hardware 3) They like to chill out on the sofa and not be hunched over a desk all of the time etc etc. For those reasons they come into the console section to share in the community of like-minded people.

There appears to be a large portion of PC Gamers who obviously have nothing exciting to talk about in the PC Games section and feel that they may feel better by trying to compare 2 completely different formats.

I've always had a high end PC but tbh it's been quite a while since I've been excited to get a new graphics card etc. Why, because there is very little that will make use of it and if it does, how much better is it, maybe a few FPS.

The PS4 is at a point where things look good enough and truly making use of the TV's maximum res etc. From this point forth it will be imagination and creativity in the games that will make the difference and as it stands presently that is happening with the console games not PC.

When the next Xbox is announced lets compare those as that's relevant. In the meantime maybe the PC fanboys could move onto the Mac section and compare PC's.

Ta-da! This is why all these comments about "wah, wah you can build a PC for £400 to do the same job" are totally pointless. Spare yourself the wear and tear on your keyboard, folks.
