What can PS3 do...
- Thread starter XD-3
- Start date
sorry but when somebody rubishes my post that PCs arent the ideal gaming platform with the post (not you, ive quoted the person)
"your doing something wrong then"
i felt compelled to reply
I was referring to this part of that quote:
As far as I can tell you just said the PC doesn't have any decent games, and that it hasn't had much in the last 30 months, which I find hilarious to be quite honest.
Just bought a ps3
got
Heavenly Sword
Motorstorm
F1 CE
Playing on a 42" HD plasma screen - the graphics are stunning.
Heavenly Sword has the best graphics and animation ive seen in a game (including pc games) for a long time. Maybe theres something about playing it on a massive screen that does it for me
The other 2 are pretty good as well. For playing games relaxed on the sofa you cant beat it.
The PC will always have the edge technically on graphics. But i prefer to play games which are "seamless" ie you dont have to mess about with your pc to get it to work, download a fix for it, download different drivers, upgrade graphics card to get it to look as good as review screenshots etc.
No fuss no hassle - simply games (and bluray of course)
Besides.... we all know in a few years the next generation of consoles will be out ps4 etc so you just sell the ps3 and get the ps4 (backward compatibility etc)

While I agree with the principal of your long post wouldnt you agree that its probably in Intel's interests also for Windows to continue being bloatware - simply because with every new iteration of the OS Intel sells a truckload of brand new chips to run the thing!!!
Im sure they want their chips to be as optimised as possible, and the X86 code just needs scrapping completely - but I doubt Intel are actually that eager or willing to do it either considering the aggrevation it would cause
Of course within a year or two of a new OS being completely rewritten from the ground up (and that OS being a huge success) Intel would sell millions or billions of CPU's to run it - but after that....maybe the refresh cycle just wouldnt be so huge...just hypothesis really
As an aside - its unlikley it will be anything less than 5 years before the PS4 is out (if this is the next console, if its a hub of some kind then its more potential for a quicker refresh) and you realise that just as you bought the PS3 there are rumours of a cheaper PS3 with no backwards compatability at all.........

It doesn't really have anything at the moment. World in Conflict and that's about it. That's if you like RTS of course. I suppose it has World of Warcraft, but that's not exactly new.
You talk about PC gaming and it's not long before someone mentions Crysis.
you've got a point
intel didnt exactly fight for this revolution did they ? they designed a blueprint, suggested it. got told no and went "oh ok then" and carried out churning more silicon.
i dare say it would be different, it intel + amd threatened to move over to entirely mac in a joint venture to create a new platform
but they wont, so untill then MS can dictate to them what they can and cant do.
I agree. I totally find the Xbox 360 quite satisfactory for FPS. It just feels weird playing with keyboard and mouse on the PC now.
If the game is done properly on the PC then it will be the superior platform in terms of graphics and features.
That's all I'm saying, don't bother denying it because when it comes to the two points I said above the PC platform is king.
I'm not denying consoles are great but still a decent PC is the superior platform, don't forget the huge back catalogue either.
It's always gonna be this case until consoles take over PC hardware which isn't gonna happen, it would be nice though if more developers started enabling mods for console games and if places did dedicated servers like they do for PC gaming. (1000's of servers for so many games all dedicated with fantastic pings for many popular PC games)

Do you know what I really hate?
When people who aren't clever try to be clever.
You sir, are not being clever.
FPS are best on PC
dedicated servers
mods
keyboard and mouse
higher resolution
higher frame rates
the only 1 i agree with there is higher res all the others a console can allso do. and i guess the only reason a console wont go to a higher res is because most people will play a console on a tv.

Until the next generation...
I fully expect Xbox 3 / PS4 to have every game at 1920x1080 resolution for those with 1080p TVs. This is enough to beat most PCs. Gaming at 1920x1200 is rare even for the PC world at this moment in time (just 1% of Steam users). A quick shufty on the Valve / Steam hardware survey shows 75% of users gaming at 1280x800 or less (I am surprised by that!)

Well I have been eating a lot of McDonalds meals then.
Goldeneye blows any FPS on any console/PC/handheld ever.
dedicated servers (void thats only vaild online and fps can be played by any means)
mods (mods mean the original game is inferior)
keyboard and mouse ( user preference)
higher resolution (console FPS are built around single resoltuion so why would you need to go any higher)
higher frame rates (if everybody has the same frame rates on a console the playing field is level)
Yeah, but you're forgetting that PC's will have evolved too.
Hahahaha, that is one of the dumbest statements EVER.
Why not? You don't want better visuals?
That only applies to multiplayer, besides most serious gamers recognise that VERY high framerates are best for competitive gaming, more than what console games run at. (See pro CS players, they run at absolute lowest settings...etc for extremely high framerates.)
If you're serious about multiplayer then you will have a system to run at a decent framerate...etc, if you're just a casual gamer looking for fun then why would you care if the playing field was exactly 'level', not that it would be anyway and not that a few frames make a huge difference. Your internet connection will make more of a difference than anything else.
Hi, can you elaborate on what you know about the cell if anything, and what it could potentially do on the PS3, I’m sure you only no general info and I’m sorry for putting you on the spot, but your post was the kind of thing I was looking for...
Thanks
