i dont know why this conversation is happening considering both that new consoles are coming out and that "massive studios" have been in a financial spiral since like 2008, with the exception of activision which stagnates on wow and cod money.
it's not for graphical fidelity (other than internal rendering resolution and stable 60fps framerate), like i said, our rendering tech right now is fine and will last us a long while. the purpose is to save development time and worry less about optimization. if you've ever needed to work on a shipped console game you'll…
I got so excited by that second trailer, then seeing that it wasn't coming out for the PC (so far) was like a punch in the gut. I really hope they come around.
Just because they sold more than the PC, doesn't mean those players don't desire what the PC offers. Many of those sales are driven by the hardware people already had. People have strayed away from a $600 PC upgrade, just so they can play a game. They already have their console. When they promoted the game, what system was…
I'd like to point out to a forum of very tech-savvy 3d artists/programmers/etc. that the average person, who is far from tech-oriented, likes convenience - not a top-of-the-line PC with a giant price-tag and it's fair share of headaches whenever anything goes wrong.

Less games to buy means more money in my pocket and more time spent being productive. There has never been a scenario where a game didn't come out for the PC and I thought "Welp,…
Anyone with decent eyes should be able to see quite a difference between my examples sitting on a couch, actually. I can easily spot the blurriness on the small version on my monitor at over a meter away. Blowing it up to a 40 inch screen would look the same at ~5 meters. And keep in mind that many of these games are…
I second that the XIM 3 is amazing. I bought it and use it for 360 to play BF3. It's like a dream come true. The only downfall is it is expensive, so it is for very serious gamers only. I LOVE IT! http://xim3.com/ Side note... Ace-Angel is correct.
Its sad really. Games lose alot of quality just because of convenience... If the next xbox's native res was 1080p (and games were optimized to look their best at that res and lower tvs were scaled down) i'd be a happy camper with no complaints. But noooooo, modern consoles look like garbage. If I could run my xbox on a…
