The majority of gamers. It's a depressing trend, but it exists.

Volsung said:You are being absolutely ridiculous. The fact that TW3 will be released on consoles TOO doesn't mean that they won't make a proper PC version. Did you even play The Witcher 2? It is available on the XBox 360 and still it is one of the better looking games on PC. Few current PC's can handle TW2 with maximum detail (including Übersampling), especially at the resolutions you suggest.
And finally, WHO CARES ABOUT GRAPHICS? What we want is an excellent game.

Enjoy your Diablo 3. Are we the ones actually who only bought 500K copies of the Witcher 2 on xbox?Volsung said:Seriously I am a hardcore PC gamer, but people like Redgarl give us a bad rep. Just embarassing.
This is about consoles. Obviously on PC you can go as far as your budget allows. God I really hate having to restate the obvious..
Are you seriously suggesting that a development team must be split in three groups to make a game for three platforms?Redgarl said:Take a whole team, making a single game on a single platform. That equal more resources for that game. Now split your team in 3 to make the same game on 3 different platforms. Are you daring telling me this will not impact your resources? The final quality of the game? Because we all know that Crytek Crisis series didn't get influenced by consoles.
Mass Effect, Far Cry, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Dragon Age, Bioshock... all have the console stigma.
CDP was one of the last true PC dev... and now I don't know.

dragonbird said:@paul_cz - you may want to change the thread title, if you only intended this to be about consoles, and not PC.
As I said above, whatever CDP targets for consoles might have influence on PC version as well.dragonbird said:Then why exactly is your first post about what specs the PC version will target huh? You mention PC there along with Xbox and PS.
CostinMoroianu said:Games with console versions aren't inherently worse games then PC exclusive ones. The reason we have a lot of shitty ports is because of developer laziness. However they have stopped being lazy recently for whatever reason and they will continue giving us better ports in the future, especially with consoles being similar to PCs in the next gen.
paulcz said:I included the PC in there because whatever CDP targets for consoles might have some impact on the PC version as well.
However I can edit it, if you tell me how. I have no idea />/>/> I can edit my post and the poll, but I do not see option for thread title.
CostinMoroianu said:Well excuse me for giving a damn about the presentation of a game from voice acting to animation, to graphical quality all of these add one important crucial aspect to a game: Immersion.
You cannot argue against, you cannot say graphics are worthless trash because they are not.
Obviously I want a good story and good gameplay as well but for fuck sake stop spitting on those who want good graphics besides that!
Volsung said:Let's be honest. Consoles are not built for power, they're built for convenience.
A coworker was talking about the supposed specs of the PS4 saying it would destroy gaming PC's. I took a look at them and sighed. Those specs look like a modern medium-range PC. The difference is all PS4's and X720's will share the exact same architecture and configuration and developers can optimize their games for that, so they can take the system to the limit. But I believe the average PC gamer already has a machine with similar or better performance.
CostinMoroianu said:You do realize you could play TW2 on 60 FPS with the highest graphical settings besides ubersampling right? I personally can.
So I say, none of these options. Give me a fifth one where I can have everything 1080p, 60 FPS and awesome polygons, effects and so on provided I have a strong enough rig and if you don't you can still achieve 60 FPS by lowering effects and such.
PCs by their nature should account for ALL these options anyway.
As for the PS4. Eh dunno.

And judging from the Steam hardware survey, the average PC has specs well below an 8 core processor and a Radeon 7850/7870. So the mass of PCs out there will definitely be inferior to the PS4. (And no, I'm no Sony-fanboy - In fact I haven't owned a console since the SNES and don't intend to change that /> )
