” but next gen consoles will rock and you know it,”

It is my honest opinion they gonna suck and gonna be weak. AGAIN ps3/x360 were powerfull. Next gen so far is a joke.

Can you honestly say the xbox one “rocks” can you say the wiiu “rocks” Ps4 will be average and it has a great price.

Thats it. I am not implying that pc will “rock” either. But if you really think next gen is gonna be amazing, i pitty you.

There is some issues on PC’s some on consoles, but next gen consoles will rock and you know it, it might not last for 2 years or something but come on, having a share button on the PS4 or the DVR record on the Xbox, YouTube will be offline. (BF4 will be sweet) IMO

I’m looking for a system to wish i can plug and play, Consoles are very user friendly. PC’s can be if you know where to start, but everyone knows its not that easy, Sometimes drivers, sometimes DX issue, could be anything.

I will say that because of the next gen coming out that, PC people should be happy, happy, happy. If PC companies don’t have to port so low for PS3 and xbox 360 than PC games will jump in visuals, a win, win, i’d say.

PC’s and Consoles, need each other.

Dice said so, and also showed it in a GDC presentation.

I think crytek also did the same in a GDC presentation.

“but still i’m sure consoles have more people playing at a time than PC’s’

Well i can still go back and play cod2 or quake 3 and counter strike on pc. On consoles? Good luck finding someony playing the original halo or cod 2.

What you want? More people playing online at the same time or more dedicated community rather moving to new games and no one can be found on old games?

Yeah pc gaming is not plug and play, Takes some skill and knowledge insert glorious master race joke here.

I think i heard that next gen will be just as long as this gen. I hope they dont last that long, its riddiculus.

You say Battlefield 3 on consoles is = to PC’s with Low settings, and it may be true, but still i’m sure consoles have more people playing at a time than PC’s. It’s all about game play for me and i had a great time with Battlefield 3, and i hope to have fun with battlefield 4.

Some people just don’t want to use a PC because of the issues you could run into, Drivers, GPU, million issues could happen. Some people don’t like to use a key-board to play First Person Shooters as well, and i’m one of them.

I can see how if someone had a PC than upgrading would be easy but people are not ready to be doing that, New HDD easy install, try to teach someone new to computers to install a CPU and after market heatsink, forget it lol

Trying to get people to learn how to use and upgrade computers is like, teaching people how to fix there cars.

I have Battlefield 3 for PC and both Xbox / PS3 but i still like it on xbox as of right now because of the thumb sticks, but the look of Battlefield on max settings on a PC don’t do anything for me.

The only reason Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 lasted so long was because of the 2008 economic crisis, and Microsoft said they would have had a new box in 2011 but that happened .

Next set of consoles won’t last that long, as long as the world does not go to another economic crisis.

I dont see how keep on playing on ancient graphics is better than triple monitor with above 60 fps.

You may not reallize this but bf3 on consoles= low pc settings. Crysis 3 and metro last light UNDER lowest pc settings.

It is a great investment for the first 3 year, then it gets weak due to dated hardware. No console generation should last more than 5 years.

So if you idea of investment is to remaing on ancient graphics for so many godamn years while a cheap pc can deliver vastly better graphics than ps3/x360…well you are just cheap.

It woul seem this gen will ast longer with weaker hardware compares to pcs and a gap between ps4 and xbox one hardware.

Regardless of your choice, this is a big issue and it should concern you.

“remember finding a game on a old PC game can be hard.”

I dont know what you mean, all old pc games can be found on gog or steam and are compatible with new pcs. BACKWARDS COMPABILITY. Even play n64 and gameboy games. As for mp? UNLIKE consoles, you can still find people playing online old games, such as quake 3, cod 2, unreal tourament, counter strike. Try finding someone playing cod 2 on consoles.

Gta has always focused on playstation and then was released for xbox and pc. Since more people owned xbox 360s in 2008, they focused on both systems and messed up gta iv on pc. Its better to wait for a good pc version to come out that will be already “next gen” than a rushed one or play on 7-8 year old harwdare.

You are heavy minded about these game consoles, Get whatever you will enjoy on earth and i’ll do the same.

Okay first, Sony and Microsoft are both companies, same go’s for Nvidia, AMD, Intel, MSI, Asus, Gigabyte, Corsair, and they all have the same thing in common, Make money.

You tell people to go and make or upgrade a computer to run games, when most times these days, games don’t run all that better on a 1 k PC, Yes they might get over 60 FPS run 3 screens and be able to put modded content in those games, but compare games like from today from an old xbox or PS3, i think an investment of 400 back in 2005 was pretty good, if you ask me.

Some people like the online that some of these game consoles have too, remember finding a game on a old PC game can be hard. IMO i think pc could get a better way of doing voice other than, VENT or TP3, c3 beta is cool, but its easy to just plug my controller in, plug mic, pop in disk. Done.

But this is just what i think, don’t think i’m telling you how or what to have just because i say something.

3rd
Its not hardware that makes games sell, its good games, Just fucking look at GTA 5, O and go play that on a pc right now lol

Now to end this, i will say everyone likes to hate on others, but you have to grow up sometime. I’m not saying Sony / Microsoft / PC or bad, just saying you should get what you like.

Peace

Ps3/x360 were powerfull.

At the economical crisis, consoles have to be affordable. Ps4 is not the beast that sony ALWAYS makes their cosnoles sound like. You are not getting such a large jump as last time. Which is fine for the price it is sold. But 10 freaking years? Come on.

Okay i get it you’re not happy with what people like, i get it. Do you ever go out and just see people go on just fine without you’re bad judgment.

I’m for, ” Like what you like, but Don’t judge me ” .

You on the other side, seem to be trying to change people minds because, (You) think its a bad item,
let people grow up by them self. Its life, live it.

Peace

No, APU = laptop trash. THERE ARE NO HIGH END AMD APUS.

Why? because high end needs DDR3 or you are bottlenecked.

Carmack is only going by specs and what he has seen…he hasn’t even touched the hardware so big name or not his words mean very little.
