Hi People.

I find myself playing my PC a hell of a lot more than my 360 or PS3 at the moment, both the consoles just seem old tech (especially as the 360 is 6 years old).

Visually they are not bad, but currently PC is king.

I was thinking, for the next gen of consoles which is hopefully not too far away I would like for the xbox, native K& Mouse support. The option to set your console or second console/PC as a dedicated server, I mean you could do this with Rainbow 6 on the original xbox and have more people playing online on a more stable connection.

What would you like to see?
 
Dedicated servers, better graphics.

I disagree with the K&B and mouse support, pointless kills the level playing ground.
 
I'd like consistent framerates. I sincerely doubt we'll see consistent 720p, because developers will continue to go sub-HD to show more graphical effects or get more framerates.

I would like better customer support, and a hell of a lot less DLC that should have been on the disc at launch. *Especially* when it's been announced even before the game itself has come out.

It would be nice to see far more widespread adoption of FXAA, as it costs virtually nothing as far as a post process goes.

I was actually hoping for consistent 1080!

I mean PC cards are at the point where they can slaughter 1080 now.

Developers would rather put the power to use on prettier graphics than full 1080p. We could have had full 1080p in theory on every game this generation, but the graphics would have been pared down. Short of being a mandatory requirement, it's not going to happen. Microsoft even had 720p as a mandatory requirement on the 360's launch, yet half the titles broke it straight away.
 
But the hardware is now readily available to slaughter 1080p.

Next gen console will be as powerful as pc's are currently/next gen gpu possibly. And then will run prettily at 1080p giving us pc users far prettier console ports to play with.
 
Hardware to run at 1080p smooth. Also to the guy saying they will do pretty graphics instead of higher res, well higher res equals pretty graphics although as said you would require decent hardware to keep things smooth.

1080p minimum, 60fps.

Not going to happen.

720p30 will be very common and some games will use 1080p60 but several devs have already said that fps is not a target since it doesn't affect metacritic scores or sales. Having HDR or bloom or more effects all do.
 
I just want better textures and AA. Fed up with jaggies and blurry objects up close. They could keep the res at 720p and the frame rate at 30fps tbh.
 
The is support for K&M on the PC already, you play against other K&M users so the playing field is still level.

Its all about choice, its not about owning people with controllers. For racing games I use a whell, shooting games k&M, fighting games a Joystick, sports games a controller.

I pay my money, I make my choice.

Agreed with AA and min 720p30 though would like 1080p60
