Theirs people who have no problem with accuracy on a console...although I'd agree PC shooters are better for aiming in most cases, im used to both and don't really care which I use...I seem to notice that more people suck on PC shooters though, no offence, but I usually do really good...now I tend to play console games more then PC games, it was vice versa before but theirs a bunch of games im looking forward too for PC. I don't know I guess theirs just something amazing about laying on your couch playing a game on a 70" t.v in 1080p HD with your friends.Nitrous2O
70" 1080p, nice! ;)
My consoles are connected to a 58" 1080p plasma. The downside is at those screen sizes you can really start to see the resolution deficiencies since most games don't actually run at 1080p, more around 720p.
However, with consoles games you are also typically sitting much further back from the screen which will compensate for that resolution, it may actually be difficult to tell the difference from 1080p and 720p.
On the flipside to that though, once you are far enough back from the screen you lose an immersive, intense, and very finely detail-oriented experience, at least I do. This is one reason why I actually prefer gaming on my PC and a 24" monitor --- very high res and very high details that are easily observable --- the most immersive gaming experience IMO.
In terms of precision and accuracy, kb+m remains the undisputed champion in shooters. Not saying everyone would prefer kb+m in the end based on preference, but it would be nice if those in the "Halo generation" of gamers ditched the auto-aim and at least gave it a fair effort to become accustomed with before dismissing it.
I can easily get by with gamepads, there's not any choice in most console games (UT3 PS3 is one exception I know of), but those are marginally fun relatively compared to a great shooter on the PC.
Yah your right for some games but because I sit back it only looks beautiful lol..but I understand what your saying but when I look at my monitor and t.v when I play a game I prefer my t.v just because of my set up but it won't make me choose buying a game for PS3 over PC...I simply follow the biggest group of friends. lol
I don't find I lose any immersion or insensity when sitting back, I always got the sound really loud, my t.v's so massive you cant miss anything and I've got 10x better surround sound for my t.v then my computer...however I do have good surround for my computer. I understand and respect how you think its the most immersive, I like them both equally, but everyone does have their own preference and opinion, I don't think their is any right or wrong in this situation..except for the mouse and keyboard having the advantage with percision and such.
Although PC shooters has the advantage with percision(mouse and keyboard) and sometimes the graphics are a little better I think using my t.v set up with my friends makes it match my experience while playing PC games. For me I don't lose any fun while playing on a console, I'm just a gamer who plays games :D.
But some PC games I'm really looking forward to are Fallout 3(I think im going to get it for PC rather then console), Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, Left 4 Dead, Warhammer Online, and various shooters like Call of Duty 5 and Far Cry 2(however I havn't made up my mind for which platform - for the shooters).
PS - Blu rays in 1080p HD on a 70" are amazing
