So In the end of another of these odd e3 threads the results wer e"those good looking demos are next gen because we can't run them like that"

Well, sorry, they are current gen, both watchdogs and 1313 were playable, with off the shelves hardware, it is not the graphics that were next gen, it is the consoles that are "last gen" when there exists systems right now that can play both, it is freaking CURRENT!

As for the PCs are running most games, then year. there are two reasons, 1 being the visual didelity, the better output. The other just as important point is the fact that they are all debug builds. You pretty much need a pc for most of them since errors in coding might occur, and require access to command prompts and debug comands.

The last of us also looked very good, anyone denying that is blind. It did not looke better then the before mentioned titles tho. But looked close enough that I would call it little less then a coding miracle.

Those were demo'd on 'off the shelf' PC hardware, so Nvidia 680s and Ivy core processors probably. The capable of the current crop in PC GPUs is leagues ahead of todays console hardware, and is indicative of what 'next gen' hardware will probably be like (if not scaled back from the current crop of PC enthusiast cards, compared to mass produced consumer electronics). Demo's are usually done on console dev kits of have the PC builds running. Watch Dogs and 1313 were running on PC hardware, having that rendering capacity and density on todays consoles is simple impossible, Last of Us would have been on a dev-kit as they usually are.

"I'm not sure about Microsoft, but I do know that Sony won't allow developers to run games off of anything but PS3 tech at their conference (another words, no PC-based demos)."

razgriz_101

Only that's a lie. Heavy Rain was a native 1080P PC build with HD textures for its reveal. Leaked by Sony employee. Killzone 2 was a render. Proven by CGI experts and then begrudgingly admitted by Sony.

at the same time im pretty sure KZ2 in particular was actually a target render and done before hardware was finalized.

Thus why it was done on a PC.

Strangely Heavy rain started out at E3..2006 the same year as KZ2 as a tech demo called the casting.Also its worth mentioning Heavy rain started out as a PC game.

Retort please.

And yet Sony told the world both were real-time PS3 gameplay. How's it feel to support such a terrible company filthy console plebian?

There are menu items visible on the board in this pic. In the vid there are just blurry white lines, no color even. The color balance is also slightly different and there is much less contrast, leading me to believe that not only is this from a PC build but also that it has had its colors rebalanced in Photoshop. Also, I Miiiiiiight see low-quality SSAO going on. No console game to date has used SSAO.

Yet anyone who plays UC3 or UC2 or any of ND's games know when you actually plat it they live up to the screenshots. In gernal ND games use like 2xMSAA are now the new MLAA . Its hardly the jaggie miss you make it out to be.

Sad part is they decided to plug in a gamepad to play it on stage. If you're going to show the game why not show it at it's finest...with a KB/Mouse and having accuracy rather than none. Other then that...all games are developed on a PC so it's no surprise they'd show it on a PC at E3.

E3 is an advert for the consoles, if you gave them a kb and mouse half the visitors would run about sceaming in horror.

I think they like to give the impression it is being played on console so people think the console graphics are actually that good. Plus it's hard to stand there and use a keyboard and mouse on stage.

True, I know most people don't know you can use controllers with a PC so they're just fooling the consolites into believing their hardware is way better than it is.

I'm not sure why this is such a big deal. Was it not already understood that PC gets the best (graphically speaking) out of almost every game? Why would these developers/producers want to show off anything but the best from their game? I know I'm in System Wars and its sacrilege to say this, but I care about the content, not the graphics. This news makes no difference to me.

I have a great dislike for people who dismiss systems due to preference, it is really simple, if anything you can buy at the preasent, can run the games, then it is current gen. A disconnect I have with the hype word "next gen". A tech demo might be next gen, since they can rarely be applied into any game, due to the workload, but alot of the things we saw, were pretty much current.

Just as I stated, it was not the games that was "next gen" but the consoles that are "last gen" pretty simple really.

As for 1313 and watchdogs, I am not so sure they ran off any devkits, since I am fairly certain the next batch of consoles have the hardware setteled in for all devs to take a look at. So They were likely built by whatever limitations the PCs had.

My point was, that you can not call something "next gen" when hardware out now for the average consumer can run it.

That's true, though I'm pointing out the huge difference in PC rendering capacity to console (which is why 'next gen' gets thrown around). Indeed couldn't agree more in terms of next gen nonsense and people dismissing out of preference. Last of Us ran on a dev kit, the others would have been on developer build PC. Otherwise true true, people seem to jump to conclusions.

Gotta love how console "Next-Gen graphics" are running on current gen PC hardware.

Yup, everything except GRAPHICS KING "Last of Us" and "God of War: Ascension" which were both running in REAL TIME ON PS3!!! Beautiful framerates, no screen tearing and both looked amazing!!!

and Beyond

Watch Dogs look a lot better than that, and it can handle a lot more detailed characters on screen than that. Animations, details (textures/models), effects and scale all make up for great graphics. Consoles generally don't fall short in terms of animations and some effects, but the outdated hardware simply can't handle huge amounts of details and large scale.

sorry i need to ask AGAIN.. who.. in the blue heck.. are you? seriously? ionusx doesnt believe he caught your real name...

and no they werent.. no console game in the past 2-3 years omitting the ps3/xbox360's very 1st launch titles were played on anything but a pc.. in fact at many booths the controllers run through the ps3 shell itself and out the back to a pc behind a false wall. or they place the pc in a shell of a ps3. deus ex HR even thought its a multiplat was demoed many times "on a ps3" when in fact it was a pc.. as state dill get some shats to back this up. i can even pull up your quicktime event button que's. sometimes i do that to confuse people watching me play who cant figure out that you can make this so legitimately

Lol, debating whether The Last of Us looks good or not... Are you guys on drugs or something?

The Last of Us is the best looking game I've ever seen in this generation.

Of course it does. You have to be on the drugs if you think otherwise.

And you just have to be a delirious fanboy to think anything on PS3 is going to look better than a multiplat on PC.

Sure they run on PC, they are all prototypes of the games that will come for consoles at launch in late 2013 and forward

For example Agnes demo is a glimpse of what FF15 on xbox 720 and PS4 will look like

PC is where all games are made anyway, showing a game on PC does not mean it will appear on PC

FF is console only for example, Gears 5 will be the same etc

lol by this logic loopingents ff14 and ff11 dont exist nor does ff7. furthermore not every game shown at e3 launches in 2013.. ghost warrior 2 is an example. mechwarrior online is another. guildwars 2 is another. would you like more examples.

your logic as as skewed and ignorant as ever lootingtrends

Then call me a delirious fanboy, because I ALSO thought Last of Us looked a little better (I'm just talking about pure wow factor)

I think the reason why The Last of us looked so good was not just the graphics itself. But the animation, the environments, and the small details that most other devs would have dropped, like the blood coming out of his nose as he is getting hit, the facial animation. The voice acting and audio also completes the package.

And if The Last of us was shown using a PC...it would have been too awesome to look at :-).

[QUOTE="skrat_01"][QUOTE="Maddie_Larkin"]

So In the end of another of these odd e3 threads the results were "those good looking demos are next gen because we can't run them like that"

Well, sorry, they are current gen, both watchdogs and 1313 were playable, with off the shelves hardware, it is not the graphics that were next gen, it is the consoles that are "last gen" when there exists systems right now that can play both, it is freaking CURRENT!

As for the PCs are running most games, then yeah. there are two reasons, 1 being the visual fidelity, the better output. The other just as important point is the fact that they are all debug builds. You pretty much need a pc for most of them since errors in coding might occur, and require access to command prompts and debug comands.

The last of us also looked very good, anyone denying that is blind. It did not looke better then the before mentioned titles tho. But looked close enough that I would call it little less then a coding miracle.

Maddie_Larkin

Those were demo'd on 'off the shelf' PC hardware, so Nvidia 680s and Ivy core processors probably. The capable of the current crop in PC GPUs is leagues ahead of todays console hardware, and is indicative of what 'next gen' hardware will probably be like (if not scaled back from the current crop of PC enthusiast cards, compared to mass produced consumer electronics). Demo's are usually done on console dev kits of have the PC builds running. Watch Dogs and 1313 were running on PC hardware, having that rendering capacity and density on todays consoles is simple impossible, Last of Us would have been on a dev-kit as they usually are.

Uhh yeah, exactly, they are running off current off the shelf hardware, hence they are CURRENT gen. I loathe the people calling those demos "Next gen" no, they were playable, and very much current. My pc could likely play them. So they are current, the 360 and PS3 might or might not, atleast not as tehy were shown, but that does not mean the PC should be discounted.

I have a great dislike for people who dismiss systems due to preference, it is really simple, if anything you can buy at the preasent, can run the games, then it is current gen. A disconnect I have with the hype word "next gen". A tech demo might be next gen, since they can rarely be applied into any game, due to the workload, but alot of the things we saw, were pretty much current.

Just as I stated, it was not the games that was "next gen" but the consoles that are "last gen" pretty simple really.

As for 1313 and watchdogs, I am not so sure they ran off any devkits, since I am fairly certain the next batch of consoles have the hardware setteled in for all devs to take a look at. So They were likely built by whatever limitations the PCs had.

My point was, that you can not call something "next gen" when hardware out now for the average consumer can run it.

You want to know what I loath? I loath SNOBBY PC elitiests such as yourself. I loath hermits who have their noses so far up in the air, their head falls backwards and off their shoulders. Realistically, HOW many people out there right now have the hardware to run Watchdogs and Star Wars. We are talking about a very small percentage of PC gamers being able to run those games. So yeah, there are PC parts out there now, that can run them, BUT not many people will have the parts to do so. Also, I guess going by console logic, a PC becomes next gen, every time hardware is upgraded. LOL so if you're a PC gamer, I guess you can start your own next gen at any time you want, BUT you have to wait for a console's next gen, before you start to see TRUE next gen games taking advantage of the advancement in tech, as Watchdogs and StarWars CLEARLY fall into"nexf gen" games as such
