for pc, u always need to upgrade...
jz look at crysis and farcry 2...
wut else can they throw at us next year...
heck i even had trouble supporting RA3...
not to forget gta4's poor optimization on the pc...

on the other hand, the ps3 itself is really powerful...
playing farcry2 on it looks better than it is on the pc...
besides, u get to play MGS4, gamespot's game of the year besides so many other awards it has won...

Thats the first time i heard that. All multiplatform always looks better on the PC. Out of curiosity, have you seen a pc game before? doh.gif

I'm sorry I'm not quite as enlightened like you to notice your post that you are struggling to Play RA 3 on the highest setting doh.gif I'm not one with the internetz. Yeah you are probably right...RA3 would look a ton better on the PS3 too.

Gamespot review quote:
QUOTE
Far Cry 2 looks best running on a PC, with clearer textures, better foliage, and less pop-in. The console versions also suffer from the occasional loading hitch when you're driving into a highly populated city. Another key difference is that the PC version lets you save anywhere you want, whereas the 360 and PS3 games only let you use predefined save points.

Just get all the current platform out there to enjoy them all. They all have their own strength and exclusive.
Here is how i use my:
-High end PC for FPS and cross platform title. Cause PC has the best graphic and control among them all.
-PS3 for exclusive only title.
-X360 for other PS3 and X360 title. Cause graphically, X360 is better than PS3
-Wii for family and kid title.
While PSP and NDSL entertains me during my travel.

nvr said RA3 looks better on the console sleep.gif
typical flameboy lol (half of that post is anyways)...
if u try to throw in some sarcasm in it all, its awfull...

as for the issue u highlighted:
"Far Cry 2 has attracted negative feedback due to a number of faults contained in the game across all platforms, such as corrupt save files, freezes, and disappearing characters. A majority of players have reported that at certain points in the game, these issues become more pronounced thereby rendering the game unplayable. As of December 2008, Ubisoft have yet to address these issues"
from wiki (together with the sources which u can click if u want from the ubisoft forums)...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_Cry_2

still 1080p looks better...

It still doesn't talk about which platform has the better graphics for the game. You said PS3 Far Cry 2 looks better than PC.

No it doesn't because my point was a retort against your claim that Far Cry 2 on PS3 looks better then the PC which you said.

I don't have a high end system.

so ur 'retort' failed?
as i've said 1080p that the ps3 (and 360 as well) is capable of would make the final display better...

ps = upgrades from time to time just to keep up while a console can last u up to 6-10 years with similiar results...

But how good a game look, still base on how the game making company want to make it. Cause on the PS3 or XBOX 360, as long they got the budget and time, they can make the game utilize the maximum capability of the PS3 or Xbox 360, and still able to sell them cause they dont need to think if all the user console will support it or not.

But on the PC, they need to consider the profit, if they make the game support more type of PC, they will be able to cover a larger market share. So they need to strike a balance between profit and game quality.

Which you claimed was backed up by a review from Gamespot. And it doesn't back up your claim. I'm not talking about upgrade frequency. But better graphic fidelity of Far Cry 2.

I pointed out the quote directly from Gamespot which SAYS the PC version looks better.

Exactly where in it you saw PS3 version looks better I don't know. You have no links to back upyour claim so how can I take it as the truth? smile.gif I also want to buy PS3 lah...but dont give wrong info....If you think you are factually correct then prove it.

Ya, at least those game make some ppl wanna upgrade their computer, which in term help the hardware companies, which in term help push them to come out with far stronger hardware. That why, sometime I feel that the gaming industries is the industries which push the PC tech to grow and advance so fast. Cause most ppl always like to say "I want to get a strong computer for gaming." hahaha.

Plus, I'm sure Ubisoft can make Crysis: Warhead even better, better graphic and all, but then they lose out on profit, hahaha

by the way, just to keep to the topic, I advise to get a PC, cause it can do more then playing game. But seriously, if we can get all, which is the best PC, a PS3, a Xbox 360, and all, who dont wanna? whistling.gif

Plus, the reason why I support PC is that, I was one of those person, who sold my PS2, just to upgrade my PC, and that time PS3 haven't come out yet, hahaha.


Edit: After a post below, I just realize that Ubisoft did not make crysis, but Crytek,right?
