What can PS3 do...

I don't know about anyone else but I'm getting tired of 'plaftorm A is better then platform B for game X because....' arguements.
Does it really matter as long as we enjoy gaming?
Like many others I've gamed on PC and console and just like everyone else, I have my opinion and preference.

Just seems to me that every new topic in this section on the forums gets hijacked with platform wars!

Why are PC FPS' superior?

Probably the most commented on by PC owners is the superiority of mouse and keyboard over controller for FPS games.

And as controller is the only choice for console owners in most likely 95% of cases.

Do a poll see how many ppl feel that mouse + keyb is more intuitive, easier to control and allows more accurate aiming in a FPS.

So thats one reason. But as you probably are already aware UT3 on console will have keyb + mouse functionality!! Soo that reason will soon begin to lose its potency.

There was a recent challenge match between xbox360 and PC owners on Shadowrun online. Suffice to say the xbox360 owners won heh. Which possibly debunks the notion that mouse + keyb is better. But its more likely that the console team were just better overrall (including tactics + strategy etc)

for me keyb + mouse because thats what im used to.
 
What was that comment about UT3 on PS3 from Midway about , "PC users will find k+m on the ps3 strange.."?

Can you have 64 player dedicated servers for console fps?

What exactly do we do? We map the sticks to a curve so that most of the area is used for micro movement and only the very edge is used for large turns. We also bend the weapon ray a bit within the crosshair (auto-aim). There are a few other proprietary tricks we do, but I can’t tell you the specifics. The point is that we do a bunch of extra work and tuning to make the controls feel good with a 360 controller. So we did all that work. I spent months tuning and refining the 360 controls, until the team was happy with the results.

Yes lots of skill on the part of the Xbox 360 players there, and it definitely shows how crap the mouse is. :p

I wonder what the results would've been if the PC users had the benefit of the devs putting hours of work into stuff like dynamic sensitivity, auto-aim, and "other tricks" that they won't even tell us about.
 
Also, it's well known that CoD 2 on Xbox360 is superior to CoD2 on PC (amongst others).

No lol. Whats wrong with a lot of the xbox 360 fans around here?

Only possible on PC and PS3.

360 and Wii cant since they dont allow for dedicated servers, they use p2p exclusively for these games.

Strange i like it much better on pc than on xbox 360 (yes i have played it on both)

This debate is like saying Keyboard and Mouse is better than a controller FACT.

Please, stop being so stupid, most of this is down to opinions.

Well, my mate had a brand new £2,200 PC at its time of release and the Xbox360 ran it better. Not only that, but it played better (as in, more enjoyment - not easier) with a control pad in my (and a lot of others on here) opinion.
Also, sorry for above, I came off a little brash and rude. I apologise.

It was a great game on both formats, but it was more fun to play on the Xbox360.

Reading this, it sounds like it's just you and your friend that like it better on the console. And if that PC ran it worse than the 360, then there's something very wrong with it.

Graphically and controller wise, It's a lot better on PC. And as Jihad said, Multi player doesn't drop out on the PC version, But that isn't part of this debate really.
 
So people like Mouse and Keyboard more because it's easier?
Do you all play your games on easy then?

Honestly, there are some people in here with their heads so far up their ass they don't have a clue what they are talking about.
I don't know why I expect better from an Overclocking forum, a forum for PC elitists.

Its not that its easier! Never been because its easier. It's a closer interaction!

If anything I'd say control pads were the easier option surely, because half the time you get auto targeting, as opposed to reflex targeting.

It's not exactly because it's easier, it's because it's more accurate and feels more natural.

It can be more accurate I agree, but don't you feel some story driven games are more immersive with the pad?

Not Quake, that will always be a mouse and keyboard game.

I don't think control method makes anything more immersive really, both are just as engrossing depending on the game. To me sitting closer to the screen makes it more immersive.

If the game is done properly on the PC then it will be the superior platform in terms of graphics and features.

Congratulations, you win the prize for stating the most obvious post of the year.

No one would deny that, that wasnt the point that was in discussion though, its like me saying "the sun is yellow, im right, dont deny it, because Im right".
