Some would say that the PC is dying of death facing fierce competition from the console, others would say the PC's next gen era has only just begun.

The PC still has some fire left in it for gaming a much more capabable machine than the console although the majority of gaming developers seek there oppertunity on the console as that's were most of the revenue is coming from. The last big PC success was WOW something that the console can't come close to offering yet nothing ground breaking about the graphical eye candy, As for multi format releases the PC versions end's up being ported from the console rather than to in previous years.

So what do you guys reckon will be the next big PC game that will make console owners green with envy.

um...bioshock? :p


If we're talking exclusives though there wont be many, maybe Crysis until thats ported. Simple fact is nearly all the big games are on consoles as well now. Even MMO's are going to start coming out on consoles. the normal safehavens for PC (MMO, RTS, football manager and the like) are all available on consoles now.
 
The 'Games for Windows' standard more or less guarantees cross platform development for PCs and the XBox 360. IMO this is only good despite the danger of getting more lazy console ports.

I can't see how Bioshock is any better on the PC, graphically on a high end PC it looks slightly better and yes mouse look is much easier than a joypad, If it was a multiplayer than maybe your right but you can pick this up on the 360 and play it on your 50" tv then lounge on your sofa and not worry about installation issues, probably more enjoyable in fairness on the 360.

Crysis yes that possibly could be the one.
 
crysis and crysis is the last hope for the pc. since its a pc only game it should be programmed well. but for me crysis will be the deciding point on wether i get a console or not.

The only type of games I can really see making console owners green with envy are the MMO's. Yes Crysis maybe until someone decided it can be ported to the console.

Did they not try develop Huxley on the 360 and found that due to limitations of that the orignal specification boasting 5000 players online at the same time that only 200 could be acheived due to limitations, then decided that was a bit flakey and decided to cut it down to 24. In previous attemps like TDU they struggled with 200, The PC's networking is the best by far so if you combine MMO with a good graphical engine and fine tune the game play then it's sure to be something to be envious about, well imo.
