Console = 5 year (usually) investment.

PC = 1/1.5 year investment before you've got to upgrade again.


While consoles are stuck with the same silicon for 5 years, developers DO squeeze a lot out of them. Look at Riddick or Doom 3 or even Black. Its a much better long term investment to get a console IMO, sure you might not get as much freedom as PC's afford (modding community, servers), but the amount of cash you save along with a streamlined envirenment is worth it, at least for me it is.

I haven't kept up with it much... but I"m surprised they'd license the name out to another developer. Who is making this game?

Doom 3 - id
Quake 4 - Ravensoft
Quake Wars - Splash Damage

 

[Flo_Evans]

you're not a pc gamer are you?

nor do you play battlefield style games...

:lol

Battlefield happens to be one of my favorite PC games. Try harder. I am currently running a 3Ghz and a geforce 6800.

 

[hadareud]

Not quite I've brought two gfx cards the past 5 years (9700 Pro and 6800) and they have given me better value than consoles no doubt, including some of my all time favourite games. If you think BFME was good as an RTS than god help you.

How would I know, I haven't played it since I can't

I'm not interested in BFME in the slightest, but this could mean that there might be more RTS games to follow (and quality ones too). THis was my biggest gripe with console gaming so far and it would be very nice to see it ending ...

 

[sgt]

I am so pumped up about this. I will be upgrading my PC for the sole purpose of playing this game.

 

[Deg]

Well i want the latest tech. No skimping on the graphics card next time. Will make sure my motherboard is top notch.

Well EA have made The Sims for console.

Well EA have made The Sims for console.

The Sims are shit too though.

Still, I believe.

 

[Paladin69]

why do all these doom 3/unreal 3 games need to have such a dark color pallete? I'm sick of the washed out browns, reds, and greens.

Why can't more normal mapped games have lots of color like Kameo?

 

[Dave Long]

STROGG IT!

 

[ColdSun_Legacy]

I hope this makes its way to the 360. It would be nice to get some good matches on LIVE without having to worry about if the person on the other end is hacking.

Some of the shit I've seen in Halo 2 must have been my imagination.

I realize Live on the 360 is superior to that on the hugebox, but I'm not ready to dub it cheat free utopia yet. We can all dream though, right?

 

[Dr.Guru of Peru]

Heell yess :^)

Hope it plays as good as it looks.

 

[hukasmokincaterpillar]

My 6800GT cries bitter tears at the sight of this. Medium to low settings FTW!

This is all assuming you have no desire to play games that were released prior to purchasing the platform, though.

 

[Doc Savage]

I think there was an article somewhere recently that said the PC version would be finished first and that the game would then be ported to the next gen consoles.

Yes. I hope the gameplay for this is great. It sounds more like BF2MC but thats the type they are aiming for anyway. I like the new tech they are using. We are moving forward fast nowadays.

 

[rod]

360 version FTW

 

[Wafflecopter]

Excuse me.....I have to take this pics in my bedroom and....uh.....

 

[Doc Savage]

I hope they really optimize the engine and it doesn't run like Quake 4 did on the 360. This game looks to be killer!!!

 

[TekunoRobby]

I'm going to be a real man (manly beard and all) and demand to play this on the PC.

To those who are whining about the poly counts, who the hell cares!? The texture resolution is beautiful and you'll be sure to have at least more than 16 guys on the screen blasting each other with effects flying off in every direction.

 

[Deg]

I guess the Doom 3 engine cant handle that many polys. We have other games coming however.

I hope they really opotimize the engine and it doesn't run like Quake 4 did on the 360. This game looks to be killer!!!

Its suppossed to run like Doom 3 according to the devs. Which is a good sign.

 

[Srider]

Man, PC gaming is like buying a new next gen console every year.

 

[Tain]

If you want max detail with everything and make all of your purchases upon release.

 

[elostyle]

Why is the first though people have when they see new PC shooters "console port"? It's the other way around for me...

 

[FiRez]

is cheaper and more comfortable to play the game in a X360/Xbox

 

[Vandiger]

I'm the same way, I can't stand playing FPS on a stupid controller so I'll wait for the PC port . I've tried several times to adjust to playing on a controller and I just can't tolerate or have the patience to re-learn, I'm too set in my ways

Gee, look, another console vs. PC "debate". *sigh*

Well this does look good, I hope the gameplay can match it.

 

[James-Ape]

[Joseph Merrick]

quake1guy wins it.

[Sho Nuff]

This looks AWESOME. Reminds me of the "Quake armies" Carmack was talking about 5 years ago.

Nevermind that stupid debate...obviously both have advantages and disadvantages...

The game looks sweet, and I really hope for a 360 port!

interested in a DLP Projector and Wireless M&KB combo for your PC, too?
