"Do you remember the days when you stuck on a PS2 game for its playability, or for a laugh with some mates, but if you wanted to be wowed by incredible graphics and intense gameplay, you had to fire up your PC. I miss those days. It's not so much that I'm bemoaning the fact that consoles are so impressive graphically these days - it's just that that I don't like the fact that the popularity of the consoles means that we have to suffer poor PC conversions. I tried Fifa 2007 a few months ago, and it was probably the worst gaming experiences I've ever had on a PC - and I know it's just a case of zero effort by EA, as I own the game on PSP and it's great. Unfortunately, that seems to be typical of the contempt that PC gamers are treated with these days. And what about Lost Planet? The interface on PC was appalling and the game was only playable as I have an Xbox 360 controller for Windows - though not even this could make it decent, so I quickly stopped playing it."

"... Now though, light gun games seem pretty darn archaic compared with what’s available on home consoles and PCs, what with full 3D first-person shooters that allow gamers to interact with environments and move through areas at their own pace, using their own strategy and guile (and arsenal of weapons) to make it through a wall of enemies. Now-a-days, ‘on-rails’ shooters are considered a cop out – why not just make a full 3D game?
Just because something seems a little old, however, doesn’t mean that it’s not a whole ton of fun, and Time Crisis: Razing Storm packs enough ‘old fun’ onto one disc to make you forget about advances in videogames, and just lets you kick back, squeeze the trigger and have a blast!"
Motion controls such as those found on the PlayStation Move and the Nintendo Wii give you the option of bringing a very specific arcade genre into your home: the light gun game.
We've seen these games on Nintendo's system, but with Time Crisis: Razing Storm Namco, Bandai has the chance to further prove the PlayStation 3 can be a good home for the "kill everything on screen" games.
Razing Storm doesn't just include the titular game, it also packs in the arcade version of Time Crisis 4, as well as the little-known Deadstorm Pirates. For $50, that's quite the variety of games.
Its been known that Deadstorm Pirates would come with this game for a while now. How did this get approved?
PC graphics may be in crisis but the Crysis may change everything in favor of PC.
Then got some crappy port like RE4 I would be very upset.
DOOM3 FOR LIFE!!!
pc graphics rule, but then again ps3 isnt part of the comparison, this guy obviously knows nothing about the ps3, so hes finished
xbox 360 have direct 9+ and some fictions of direct 10, sharder model 4
This guy dosen't have a clue.
xbox360 is directx9 based and always will be.
Ps3 dosent work that way, it is not limited by directx.
Meaning you can do any graphical effect on ps3 comparable to dx10,11.etc. Because of the way cell and rsx work.
Pc gaming is ok, but it dosent get enough range in its games. Then you have piracy on pc, does not help matters.
Costs so much money these days to make games, that unless your going to make profit, why would u bother?
And thats why consoles are the only viable option.
You could look at it another way.
As stated already, you need a beast of a machine these days to have all the options on.
Dx9 cards/
Fx range, if u can call them dx9 cards,lol.
6 series
7 series
8 series including dx10.
The lower revisions of 8 series are useless for dx10 gaming.
Radeon 9700pro. Now that was pure class in its time.
9800
9800xt
x800 range
2600xt
2900xt including dx10.
And this is where the problem lies.
There are to many variations of the same cards, and thus developers are left trying to fill the needs of so many ppl. So it runs poor on this system, fine on this one, and great on another, then you got many many types of drivers for each system.
Dual core has even made this worse, Alot of the newer games need them.
Its just upgrade. And nvidia has as always pushed the prices up and up.
Point is PS3 in time will rival most games on pc, and yet you won't have to spend anything else then the price of the game you want.
And thats where consoles win.
