Apparently he hasnt :p

CryEngine has really been optimised very well for PC. they are one of few publishers that actually probably have concern for PC.
Other devs while porting to PC go :duh:

Actually it was meant for PC Games in the beginning but later due to Crytek Entering Longterm Deal with EA And Need to showcase the visual prowess of Their Cryengine 3 they extended support to Consoles and later relased Crysis 2 with a visually watered down dx10 version To remove anamolies that may have crept in During Global Multi -Platform Release Of Crysis 2.

Back to school!!
lol.nfs run was not even worth playing..sick most wanted clone...ea tried to brinvg back most wanted exp and fell on their face.
Btw it runs on frostbite 2.0 and there is no explanation reqd. for what its capable of as can be seen in bf3 ...there 30fps cap must have been a design choice not hardware or software limitation unlike consoles.
Run was not bad, don't compare it to MW, but compared to everything black box threw at us, carbon, pro street, undercover, run was good, I really enjoyed it, without the fps cap game ran like butter smooth, car handling was done properly(like arcade, but thats the point), also sound was pretty well done(I am sick of loud music playing in background, in run the ambient music was well done, also the environment sounds like thunder, blizzard and car engine sounds were done properly as well) and graphics was really good. Now the career mode is small and so is the choice of cars, but the game was really meant for mp.

EA/Blackbox tried it to make yet another MW type game so i said so.!

but compared to everything black box threw at us, carbon, pro street, undercover

EA Should end up their Contracts with Blackbox.Though blackbox belongs to EA!
They havent delivered even a single title which could live upto the Name Of NFS Series..always mediocre experience.

Now the career mode is small and so is the choice of cars, but the game was really meant for mp.

Agreed.
Career was damn small.
They wanted it to be a MP only.But average performance of Online Racer:Nfs World.which was free to play.. must have compelled EA to bundle The Run with single player just as an addon to boost sales...otherwise why would they have put up such a small single player mode.

pearls of wisdom from sarath ;) :thumbs: :

- Since both PC and Consoles are on market and have been for generations now, one thing is obvious, neither the PC nor the console has beaten the other, at least for now.

- Same here, I find both the console and PC to fit cozily side by side.

- To end it I would say, get both ;) PC and console.

One thing has to be said people who own a PS3 or Xbox 360 way back from 2008 are biggest benificaries. They could games to run without any change. While we PC gamers have had to move from Nvidia 8800 to the New ati 7000 series. We install uninstall so many softwares just to get few extra FPS in Battlefield 3. While consolers just made a one time investment and are still going strong. The soon to come Gta 5 will set new boundaries in minimum requirements(considering what Gta 4 needed)
the same old consoles from 2008 will run the game perfect while a pc from that time will.... :facepalm:

cant refute it entirely (if you ignore the toned down/less-worked-upon look in a few console games, latest being BF3, which looked terrible on consoles as compared to its charming avatar on PC)

LOL Ghormanas...I hope you are not trolling me ;)

Well thats because new games are downgraded to run on consoles but are not downgraded for pc because companies want their new hardware to sell

that has been a problem lately. Downgrading of games or abysmal ports. :|

the Real Reason why people here like PC
you get pirated games as easy as hell on a pc
New hardware and expensive console games are secondary reasons
this is the basic idea
"i spend a 5-digit number sum to get my dream pc and get free games from
torrent
sites"

Once they catch up Game like Crysis or any other FPS ..they will be like..consoles are Sh#t.My PC is damn awesome.

Well that could be a major reason but does not cover the truth in entirety.

The fact is that, in today's world almost every household either wants or already has a "Home PC" at home, with limited or good gaming capabilities. Also getting games is easy, friends who have it on their HDD or nefarious markets openly selling pirated copies and gaming expenditure is negligible. In such a scenario, yes that makes PC gaming popular.

But then there are also people who own a decent 50k rig and still use pirated games and sometimes buy a few games.

Then there are people who buy only legal games.

So mostly is a direct co-relation to lack of resources, coupled with lack of knowledge about piracy and lastly indifference to piracy.

So coupling all PC games like this will make you prone to a lot of wrath ;)

---

There are also people like me who own a console (ever gen) and a decent gaming PC to play all games.

To summarise, PC gaming has it's own share of features to be popular aside from piracy.

Console Owner:Consoles are freaking aweomse.PC ..eh.!who needs that.
Gaming PC owner:Console Sucks!!My PC is the BOSS.:mrgreen:

You summarised my thread in 3 lines. Not fair :p

Most people who own all three gaming machines PC/PS3/Xbox have nothing to say about which is better, which in itself is a testament to say that none of it beats the other.

Well I don't own all but I have played on all the platforms and they all are equal although graphics are better on PC in any case.

^^In most of PC port cases only resolution are of higher order(1080p at most).
GFX is constitued not just by Texture resolutions.
And mind that we have tons of BAD PC PORTS and vice versa(very rare).
MOST exclusive PS3 Titles are either Full 1080P or well Up-scaled 720p, unlike X360 which fetaures mainly 720P Upscaled content due to inferior hardware.
Games Like Uncharterd 3/Killzone 2/3/Resistance 2/3(PS3) ,Gears Of War(X360) are Right-in-face challenge(PUCHES BADLY) to crysis and battlefield on PC.

Gran Turismo 5 And Forz Motorsport 4 is worth mentioning here.

Actually if you are not looking for it, you won't find much difference between PC and PS3.

Some games though seem so at a single glance but many look no different. And some AAA titles are not even available cross platform.

pc also is genre lacking
most pc games Are FPS then comes RPG then RTS.Pc is only good for these three genres
console covers everything(apart from RTS)
also ANY console has a certain number of exclusives(that is platform exclusives and console exclusives).pc might have 1 or 2 exclusives(starcraft 2 heck,even witcher 2 and crysis were ported to consoles)and a bunch of MMO's(but seriously who plays MMO's in india unless it's those F2P ones on steam)
The BottomLine
Console has the power of Numbers,PC has the power of eyecandy
i prefer numbers over eye candy
so its a matter of personal choice

You are wrong about "Lack Of Genre" on PC.!!



Every Game genre known or unknown exists on PC and their are tons of games availbale from each of them.
And if you run out of Games in any genre which generally you never will, Just move to Indie Goodness.!

as if consoles are suffering from some game drought :rolleyes:.
consoles will have generally more games for the simple reason that they are more in number(and more people buy consoles and console games)
unlike our country where people want everything in one box
