Is the new Xbox gona be the World standard for game play Is Microsoft taking over the world again clik here
HAHAHAH, You must be on crack. Consoles will never defeat the pc. The pc is ever upgradable. When a console becomes upgradable it will probably just be called a pc instead if that even happens. Also, the xbox 360 doesnt redefine graphics or gaming, that has already been done on pc, first with Doom 3 and soon with the Unreal 3 Engine which was designed for the pc not consoles.
Everytime new 'next-gen' consoles get released, this old argument always reares its head. PC's software and hardware just keeps on EVOLVING !
Just read reviews on PS3 and Xbox 360!! Consoles will NEVER EVER defeat PC.........but..........the Xbox will 'run alongside the PC' (apparently) allowing one to network with it for streaming movies, internet so-on,so-on.... I reckon Micro$oft might be 'buddying them up' to sit alongside each other. Lets face it, lots of people buy consoles AND pc's, good market to tap into!!
Plus, you cant do word processing on a games console or surf the net ! The PC will always be there, it will eventually co-exist with consoles (like the XBOX will)
its all very well talking about graphics quality and all that but who cares. the biggest bonus about the pc game for me is online play,i know that console games are online now (although ive never tried them myself) but the pc is way ahead. im a member of an online gaming clan as im sure are many of you.ive made many friends and i could'nt imagine playing games on my own (i was in the EUMC,a call of duty clan for a year and i STILL have'nt played the single player yet!) now ive changed to a more relaxed community,sort of a retirement home for the older gamer i cannot imagine having this much fun on a console (we even started arranging regular meet ups ,airsoft, so we can shoot at each other for real) would this ever happen with a console game? i just dont think you have the interactivity you get with a pc. anyway i hope this ramble makes sense as im a tad hungover but i think you'll get my point he he *MaD*Archie
Feelin your pain Archie!! I had an Xbox, played online with Xbox Live. Decent quality of online gaming, only downside, not enough people used headset!! So you can play, but you cant communicate properly. Needs to become more social, especially with team-based games. I have my PSTWO now, which is great for the childish gamer in me, but, I too, am an online PC muppet. Do not have a clan, cos all the ones I have seen so far do not 'play for the love' they are all hardcore!!! I agree, PC's are there, and will always be! Consoles will live next to them as the iniferior younger brother!!
Well Johnny m8 if you wanna play just for funs sake have a looky here http://www.team-mashed.co.uk/index.htm we play allsorts....the cs/s section is quite serious tbh but as for the rest of us,well were just all too old to care,just like to get together and play whatever takes our fancy.............we have recently re-discovered rainbow six 3!! pop by see what you think were an over 18 though..........most of us MUCH older *MaD*Archie
Don't worry bud, I am WELL over 18 (cries quite alot)!! I will check 'em out! I tend to use Tatakai for CoD cos there server is pretty solid and most (but not all) of the players are idiots like me!! I will maybe catch you on there! Cheers
I know this is a kinda old thread but, I must say PC gaming will never be dead because it what pushes console gaming. Without what we have accomplished on PC, console games would still look like SNeS. Look at all the technology in those consoles and remember who had it first. Why did the Xbox look so good, because Nvidia provided thier graphics chip, which was based on the PC graphics chip. Hard drive and audio ripping, well you know where that came from too. Console manufacturers are merely stealing our PC tech for their systems.
I heard the xbox 360 will be the most powerful consel/pc to come with prosecceing speed that are un heard of and graphic technology that surpasses the best video cards of today but pc will rise one again
Why do you think XBOX was available for around half the price of a bottom-end PC, because it is the raw neccesities; GFX Card, HDD, etc. a console(especially PS, , won't catch up with PCs because they have the previous generation hardware, no extras, and little upgradability because of OS. Consoles are DESIGNED for people who want a cheap system SOLELY for gaming. It's the system as a whole that counts and the weakest link that matters. Thank you, and good night...
Strangely enough, over the past two or three years I've had more fun playing a certain console game than any computer game, and I mean actual fun and not just misguided amazement of eye-candy or pretending to have fun grinding levels. "OMG This game ROXSES! It looks great!" It's both offline and online, and is pretty much strictly co-op only with no looting or exp stealing. It's either everyone wins or everyone loses, with no in-between. Typically I try to stay neutral in these arguments, simply so I do not miss out on the occasional gem for either platform that I own (PC & PS2). Seems like a wise idea to me. If I was PC-only, I would have missed out on what is probably my favorite game of 20+ years of gaming. You're even older than I am! but not my much... You can dispell these rumors by researching both the most recent advances in PC technology and the hardware that the next-gen consoles are based upon. I would suggest looking at the technology and screenshots of games based upon UnrealEngine3 (UT2007 and others), and note that by the time the game is released, it quite possibly will look even better and probably many more features than most console games.
no matter what your TV still runs at like 600X480 so you would have to get a HD TV to get PC graphics MUHAHAHAHA but i have to admit......even a $3000 pc still has headroom to run games that are out now and the ones that will be out for Xmas and lounging in a bean-bag with the lights out fraggin on a Xbox all night for $400 .....seems....fun?..........DID I SAY THAT?!?!?!?! i just think it stinks you have to be rich or in deBt to have the latest hardware for your computer...so send me a check thanks
your quite right........you cant but they do have one MAJOR advantage i spose..............the games work fine straight out of the box
I agree that pc gaming is way better than any experience I have had with a console. Since PS3 and Xbox360 will be faster than a $3000 SLI rig. It just makes sense for people to invest into a consol for $300. New consoles will be like supercomputers we all dream about. They will have mouse and keyboard options and will be svga compatable. They are pcs actually that are designed for games. Xbox today was designed from Geforce 4 technology. Just look at the graphics.... They are pretty good because its core is dedicated for just that. So everyone get some TP because your going to crap when you experience gaming with next generation consoles.
