Over a 100games on steam now and growing ;-)
Must have saved a small fortune buying all those on steam vs a console.
@sitris
I dont see your logic, its not like Consoles run all games at max settings. In fact on console u will be lucky to be getting most games in 720p med res textures.
Any PC that can run Crysis on high settings can pretty much run todays games at 1080p max settings.
With consoles you are stuck at 720p or below regardless of what you do.
Times have changed there arent any needs for upgrades on PC, 8800gtx still running any ...
Rather Play Wii games on My PC ;-)
No point having additional hardware taking up space then not even doing HD lol
If they complain so much about used sales.
Then they should remember they have taken away all user freedom. They should give the user ability to mod even on consoles. So ppl dont have to get ripped everytime with their rediculous charges for DLCS which being old maps.
Any modder could bring MW1 maps to MW2, and thats just the way it should be just like the old days.
Try hooking up your PS3 to your PC monitor and see what happens?
You will see jaggies all over the place. This is because tvs help to hide these jaggies. A monitor will not do this.
Hence it will work with 3D monitors however there will be jaggies all over the place, this is because PS3 hardly uses little to no AA in its games. I know i will get disagrees for saying this, however you are welcome to hook your PS3 to your monitor to judge for yourself.
That exactly the concern most people have. The early adopters usually get botched because the tech matures really quickly and since 3D for tvs is still really new expect something better out soon.
Though being a PC gamer i would prefer 3D in 1080 which at the moment is only possible in PC now thats what i would call true progress.
@below
agreed which is why i mentioned the tech is still evolving. I am currently play on eyefinity id rate it a...
DRM only hurts sales.
Pirates will crack the game and not pay anyways.
Agreed with Madpuppy
While DD works fine for PC, because there are many digital outlets that sell DD on PC.
If PSN/XBL took over complete control of games distribution for consoles. Both of them may as well set a price of 60usd per game and not worry about anyone undercutting their prices.
DD only would be very bad for consoles.
Drives arent expensive these days.
My primary HD are:
80gig SSD in raid- 160gigs in total this holds the games i am currently playing
2tb storage drive- This hardly gets used and is used for backing up any unused games. I could add in another drive for back up but i find that kind of pointless.
Yes some games on steam can be costly, however majority of the time the deals are great.
For example i buy 4pack MP ...
Got about 100 games bought on steam.
Never have to worry about losing disks or them getting scratched. Also i can get new or old games without ever worrying about out of stock situations.
Internet speeds are really fast now. I have a 16mb/s connection, downloads 8gig games in about 45mins, easily beats going to a retail shop wasting time and gas to buy a physical copy.
Id say DD is the way to the future.
I heard they included support for 120hz monitors in their latest drivers.
Though just went through their release notes nothing on 3D yet. Well Eyefinity will do for now ;-)
Edit: just checked this link http://www.xbitlabs.com/new...
Ati announces 3D support but it requires Proprietary Hardware ...
Playing on Eyefinity at the moment. None of my monitors are 3D enabled. I am considering replacing the Center monitor with a 3D monitor.
Have 5870 eyefinity 6(2gig version card) in crossfire. Hence thats enough power to run Crysis 1 in 5760*1080 enthsiast settings decent fps. Wonder how it would run 3D in 1920*1080 though.
Graphics get dumped down so does the game.
HD Shots can only be from the PC version
Would be awesome playing GT3 in 1080. Probably will give this a try ;-)
Have 5870 in crossfire. Easily runs the game at 60fps in 1080p with max settings 2x aa.
Lol So why dont PS3 exclusives like kz2, uncharted 2 run in 1080? 360 doesnt hold the ps3 back then?
Even when it comes to multiplats its not hard making a game render in 1080p clearly ps3 doesnt have the juice which is why it runs at 720p or below just like the xbox360 while capable PCs (which means any 4yr old with a decent gpu) runs the game in 1080p.
@coldfire
Its funny this site is just loaded with PS3 fanboys. They truely belive ...
Even replaying old games can be quite a bit of fun. Few months back i played:
Dungeon keeper 2 (2000)
Half life 2 (2004)
Far Cry (2004)
Warcraft 3 (2003)
Cant wait for this game.
Gonna have my hands full with:
Witcher 2
Dragonage 2
next year both of them being atleast 50hours playthroughs.
Dual core alone wont be enough try fitting with a gpu.. no intels integrated gpu wont cut it.
benchmarks for 8800gtx running crysis in high:

8800gtx a 4yr old card runs the game in high settings 1600*1200 @ 32fps (something no console will be able to do with ...
