Another great reason why consoles can't compete with PC.

[QUOTE="GD1551"]

Here's a reason they can....... they don't cost $1000.

You mean better games for half the price?

:P

One thing I noticed in OPs video is how the footage is only about stand still landscapes and the characters are completely stopped. If it showed the characters in motion the framerate would probably low to unplayable levels

I'll throw a couple of mine in here.

These we taken on my desktop with these specs

Athlon II x4 @2.8
GTX 560ti
4GB DDR2
550 watt psu
7200rpm hard drive

This is nowhere near a high end rig, after limiting the framerate to 30fps to stop fluctuation, it was very playable.

I watched at 1080p and saw nothing impressive.

zzzzzzzz PC gamers making things up now?

KillzoneSnake

The video is not in 1080p, I know that is how it is listed on youtube but if you think the 1080p it shows is anything even close to how 1080p actually looks like in game, well then you clearly don't know what 1080p looks like in such a game.

I want to play in a world looking like that with a great functioning Oculus Rift, 3D tactile mouse and candy. I would freak out a little if I would look down and see my armour being like that, though!

yawn another graphics mod that does not live up to its name move along folks nothing to see here

I honestly can't remember what it was, it's been forever since I took those. Sorry.

I see this is another "I can get a gaming rig for $200" and then post pics from a 2k rig (when you bought it) post.

Yippy! ;)

There will always be a market for consoles and will continue to compete with PCs for the simple fact that PS3 games work in every PS3.... same for 360, same for WiiU.

Computer gaming quality/experience depends on the comp you have. You can ignore that fact but its still true.

[QUOTE="princeofshapeir"][QUOTE="lowe0"] My PC (rig? it's just a box of parts) did, which is odd, given that PC gamers insist that I must be poor.lowe0

That's nice but you could also get two consoles for that price.

yeah, but 1 PC has about 100x more games than any two consoles. Or any 3 or 4 or 5 consoles, for that matter.

Tombraider seems to be working on all consoles, doesn't seem that way for alot of PCs.

Every game released recently had day 1 glitches. Even on consoles.

no console (this gen or next) can compete with that.

I have a hard time with mods because 1. Alot of them are a pain to install and 2. They tend to be very very glitchy. But that does look beautiful graphics wise. if I wanted to stare at something then I would definitely be interested.

and you only need a set up like this to be able to play at a frame rate that isn't a slide show..

System:
Intel i5-2500K@4,3GHz
NVidia GTX 680 OC GPU Boost @ 1200MHz 
16GB DDR3
120GB SSD for Win7 64
60GB SSD for Skyrim
1TB HD 7200rpm

(from new egg) only running you...
1. CPU: (for even the 3.3 version) $220

2. GPU: $460

3 RAM: $112

4. SSD: $60

5. HD: $80

Total = $932

[QUOTE="lowe0"][QUOTE="princeofshapeir"] You can throw around the jargon you memorized from your AP Psychology class all you want, but it's abundantly clear that 1) spending $2k on a PC must mean you're aiming for SLI/Xfire or a multi-monitor setup (i.e. you're going for overkill especially if you're trying to run Skyrim with any ENB), and 2) you have a penchant for derailing threads with obvious bait.princeofshapeir

Puckhog04

mods are a pain to install? when was the last time you tried installing one?  these days it's a single click and if it's not it requires you to drag a file or two around.

Not even going to talk about the "most mods being glitchy" rant.

The vast majority of AAA games are multiplats anyways.... Not to mention id prefer my eyes not to bleed when im playing games...

Well I play consoles and well I got Skyrim for that simple reason better graphics and mods.

Ok we get it, PC can mod your game character into a "sex-object"...:|

Even people with Intel 3000 laptops would rather play skyrim with mods at 800x600 than buy a console.

[QUOTE="lowe0"] Not necessarily. Not everyone is interested in mods.  It's fine to show what you think adds value to the platform, but don't assume that others will assess it the same way that you do.
