I quite enjoy conversations like this. Even if its not directly pointed at the thread title. Its relevant.
Meh who cares, if it takes being a fanboy to correct some other fanboys, then its worth it IMO. I never really debated on PC >/< console, like you obviously are, I simply only debated the "next gen" issue, something which you're easily deviating from, giving those ability points.
I've never said consoles are better than computers overall. I've said they're more convenient for gaming, and I've also said that the words "next-gen," is only for consoles. I didn't say they're better than PC's. I actually said that in this day and age, the world would crumble if we didn't have them.
C09 would simply be better on a PC, for game play, but for everything else, PC does it. Editability on a PC is amazing for those who are clever enough to know.
It's going nowhere, bringing this up again. PCs are not measured by generations, you have said so yourself Kshitiz. Therefore PCs are not, and will never be, next-gen! PCs were not built for games.
PC's were built to store data. Consoles where built for gaming.
Its pretty simple actually.
Yes, I said they aren't measured by generations, but saying a "next-gen" will be far better than a PC, and claiming it can do what a PC can't, is utter rubbish.
Also, your statement, PC's were not built for games, might be true, but it isn't necessary that for a thing to be good it has to have that exact motive from its beginning. I'll tell you what, PC's were not built for posting on an internet forum either.
Posting on an internet forum is a by-product of the PC much like gaming is.
Its like saying cellular phones (or say Iphones/Ipods) are better at playing games than a console. Iphones give you the ability to turn the whole phone for some games. Doesn't mean they're better, just mean they've got some unique stangle-hold of the market.
PC's don't have anything unique other than that they have the ability to get inside games and edit them. They also have the ability to be upgraded if you have a spare $2 Million, then you'll be able to play C09 a little better than my laptop.
Games like Cricket 09 are not going to be made better by developers because they don't want to exclude some of their audience. Not everyone can afford to have PCs that are superior to next-gen consoles. This means that by not making the game for next-gen, C'09 will not be as good as it could be.
I agree, much like C07, C05, C04....
Is there any need for a debate when we already know the game is going to be utter crap?
The game will be utter crap, no deny it.
The debate is fun. Its personal opinion. Much like Lee's love for Norwich, this much loving of a PC is only shared by one or two people. We call them geeks
But Kshitiz, you're not a geek!!
I'm joking, mate.
:
No offence taken, I know not everyone can know how a PC is different to the console and in what terms powerful, but I'd appreciate if you'd atleast try to understand if I give the facts, the numbers, AND the source.
