I did mention DICE w/ Battlefront. And last gen was all about Crysis and Crytek. Those are the most notable ones, the ones that generate the buzz... just like The Order 1886 and Uncharted 4 are the most notable on PS4. We don't talk about Tearaway. You're just assuming.SC has some pretty graphics but so do a lot of other PC games (including multiplatform). I wouldn't just label SC as solid just because it's a PC-exclusive. It's almost like you are saying nothing can utilize the PC's hardware unless it's an exclusive.
But all of these things are something coveted and take up GPU cycles. How can you negate their effects on how a game looks?
I am not negating anything. The notion is that improvements in api's have totally changed the game - no they have not.
