you might find it extremely hard to comprehend that anyone could play Games on anything other than a i7 4.08GhZ OvAClOCkEd BEaStA computer, but let me assure you that thats not the case.

The word "graphics" in SW is not used in the sense you're implying (at least not by consolites). For consolites good looking game = good graphics. PC has the power but does it have teh looks?Metro 2033might be pushing more polygons and other stuff not possible on consoles but does it LOOKas good as UC3? I don't think so hombre.

Console players only care about graphics when PC is out of the equation. When PC gets brought into the picture it's all about teh gameplay! Like using controllers for FPS'.

Consoles ARE PC's. What do you think they make them with, unicorn parts? If you compare a 360 or PS3 with your Aunt Thelma's PC that she uses to play Facebook games, then yeah consoles will blow it away. If you compare to the latest greatest then no. Put it this way. 1080p = 1920x1080 %99 of PC's on the market today cannot render at this resolution, you pretty much need a mid-spec gaming PC to get that resolution. PC devs have to code for every possible configuration, every card, every CPU, every piece of hardware, so they have to rely on DirectX and various API's, so most of the power goes wasted. Console devs only have to code for narrow set of hardware, they can peg your processor at %100 and keep it there, and do tricks with your GPU to make things look better than they should. They also use Blu-Ray for cutscenes which typically look way better than mpeg or whatnot, not to mention things like 7.1 audio chipset right out of the box. Artistically, games like Killzone, UC, Resistance and Gears rival anything on PC. Just because something is in high-resolution doesn't mean it looks GOOD. Graphics is not the same as Art. Graphics is the technical aspect of pushing pixels. Art is what you do with those pixels. Technically, Gears and UC are trash, devs have to use every trick in the book to make them look good, and they do end up looking VERY good, much nicer than most PC games by a longshot. A programmer is not an artist. I recently played a PC game, don't remember what it was called, some space sim. The screen rez was jacked up high, everything was so crisp and clean, but the game still looked horrible because the art was bad. I guarantee if you start playing PS3 exclusives for a while, you will never want to go back to PC, you will find the games look bland and boring.

Yes is the answer to the question. My PS3 is easily more powerful than any PC out there. PC games look like PS2 graphics. Now can we end this thread. This same topic seems to creep up 2 or 3 times a week.

P.S Killzone 3 is Graphicz king!

"PC" is a constantly changing platform that can't be quantified and has no set standard.

This is the reason why console gamers disregard PC in graphics arguments, it's not that PC can't produce better results, but there is nothing to base the aregument on everybodies is diffrent, so there is no point in arguing. A PC might be better based on xxxx factors or it might not.

Consoles are set devices and has a standard of evaluation so making a judgement between them is easier.

As long as there are still people that think that console games are rendered natively at 1080p, that are unaware that you can hook a PC up to an HDTV and then plug your gamepad (PS3 Dualshock 3, Xbox 360 Joypad, or whatever you want) into your PC and get the same "chillin in my couch" experience, and other myths and general ignorance, there is sure to be someone that thinks consoles are more powereful or even close to that of PC hardware.

it doesn't really work out all that well, I can't chill on my couch and play bc2/cs:s when it doesn't even support a controller, and even if it did I can't imagine how much rage quiting it would induce.

This, I would say that the majority of console players could give a flip about gaming on a PC. PC gamers on the other hand seem to always worry about what console gamers think or play.

I guarantee if you start playing PS3 exclusives for a while, you will never want to go back to PC, you will find the games look bland and boring.ZombieKiller7

and if you play SMG you'll never go back to those bland and boring Killzone/Uncharted/Gears/Halo games because they all have terrible art.

One of the worst BS arguments I've heard.

His mommy must be too busy watching Teen Mom to let him use the TV.

I wonder if he has ever brought into the equation that some people in this world have 2-3 40+ inch HD tvs in their house. I have a 40 inch sitting 10 feet from my PC in my den.

Options are great things to have?

Guess what, being wipped in my reality is not?

So you personally don't have or want to have either a wireless setup to TV, or a fragbox, htpc by your tv. No problem but again, others can. Why in the world would you go again, and trash talk someone stating they must either not have a women in the house or out of touch of reality.. Just more random insults I see when you have no base for your argument.

I've notice that most PC gamers on this forum are Europeans. Most of their countries have much smaller houses and apartments than we do. It is probably very easy for them to do this.

Where did you come up with this information from? I live right in the USA and again, very easy for me to have my home setup with a computer and tv hooked up, sit on my couch and game or play off my monitor. .....
