Everyone should b happy. Console gamers get a better console thatsveasier to build for. Its potential is unknown. And PC gamers can still use the PC.

While the PS3 is no high end PC, it will play games very close to high end PCs. PC uses brute force to outpace consoles, straight up powerful hardware. Consoles rely on devs working with specific hardware to optimize for it. If you were to get the same exact hardware equivalent as the PS3 and tried running a game at the same settings, you would realize the PS3 runs it better.
_QQ_  +   348d ago
you are missing the point.Also the ps3 is nowhere near a high end pc, ps4 is a couple cuts away but not the ps3.
landog  +   348d ago

nowadays a $30 gpu destroys the ps3


whan i played uncharted 3, i couldn't believe people thought it looked good, to me it was covered in jaggies, low res textures, looked sub-hd in many areas, bad caracter models

everyone seemed to think it was amazing though, and right there you can tell its someone who only games on consoel

pc is already, today, FAR beyond anything ps4 will ever do

1200p, 1440, 1600p
8x aa, 16x aa, 32x aa, 64x aa, txaa
60-120 frames

a game like crysis 2 in 2560x1600 looks better than anything ps4 will ever do

and crysis 3......shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, even in 720p it looks better maxed on pc than any ps4 game will, and when you crank it up to 1200p, its bloody aamzing

ilive below, people bash on the system becasue articles like this.......and people on here get the idea from articles like this that the ps4 will be anywhere near a high end gaming rig....it will NEVER be close to a pc with a gtx670, gtx 680, gtx 690, gtx titan.....never.......

a gtx 670 can be had for $300, it DESTORYS ps4

People are disagreeing with you? My GTX 590 (1000$ when I bought it) gives me a TINY performance jump for Bioshock Infinite running at 45-60FPS over the PS3 version. That's only a year and a bit old graphics card. Now take a graphics card from the year PS3 was released and I highly doubt it'll push games like Bioshock Infinite, Battlefield 3 and others as far as the PS3 can. Just like if you bought a high end gaming PC now, you need to upgrade at least every 2-3 years to keep up with the PS4/720.

It has zero to do with raw Hardware strength and 100% to do with developer support. Barely any developers (Valve and such) develop their games for hardware that isn't recent. So you may buy that Titan epic 3000 beefcake edition now, but it'll be a load of wasted money in 2-3 years when PS4/720 is outperforming it for Bioshock 8 or Battlefield 44: Dinosaur edition.

Don't get me wrong, PC hardware is much more powerful than the PS4. But pure meat means absolutely nothing when nobody supports it. Which is where console gaming has the technical advantage. Developers have been saying it for a while. But apparently gamers know more than the guys working the hardware and realizing platform strengths.

You first two completely missed the point. I am a PC gamer, I understand how PCs work. I'm telling you, buy a GPU equivalent to that of the RSX inside of the PS3 with a processor equivalent to that of the CELL and the PS3 will run the multiplatform game better than that shitty CPU and GPU you bought. Same idea WILL happen with the PS4.

_-EDMIX-_  +   348d ago
@El_Colombiano- he is 100% correct. The GPU or CPU of the same specs will run better on consoles because they are made JUST for gaming, where as a GPU and CPU for a PC won't run those specs exactly.

Another thing to note is the optimization done for consoles, ram usage, programs running in the background etc.

If some of you know PC SOOOO Damn well, you should know that compatibility is a big deal with PC games. There are a lot of tweaks that need to be done to get a game to run at a level of a console JUST based on PC compatibilities.

Thus a PC with 8gigs for ddr5 ram, 1.85TFLOPS GPU etc will actually be slower then a PS4 JUST because by default its running LESS ram (Widnows OS and other programs running in the background)

I know this because HELLO! I OWN A GAMING PC! LOL! Getting games to work right and run at a high frame is almost like an art. Go on toms hardware to see JUST how much work gets done to get a game to run right on certain rigs. Because everyones rigs are different the answer is not as simple as some of you might like to think.

But OF COURSE a PC will be stronger then a PS4....but it means JACK when it comes to games. I'm sorry? Can anyone even NAME 1 DAMN PC game needs 8gigs for ram and maxes out 1.85TFLOPS of a GPU that came out this year or last year?

Mind you the whole "1 BILLION pc's" is a joke. Lets look at his silly number shall we.

There are over 60 MILLION GAMING PC's out, of the 60 million...how many run this "GTX 560" or better? How many use 8gigs of ram? I'm sure if developers knew....they would had made some of those next gen launch games on PC already.

Theres a reason why they haven't, its because no one knows. All they know is its less then half that even own such a rig...why? Cause you don't even NEED such a rig to play a game, why would MOST own something that is unessarry to even do the task?

So less then half is about 30 to 20 million.....and PS3 is at 80 million. LOL! High end gaming is like owning a sports car in a city with no roads....i mean its nice to look at, to bad no one else cares to make a road to actually take advantage of it.

I own a HD 5770 in my rig I can max out BF3 easy.....why on earth would I need better? I'll upgrade AFTER PS4 comes out, cause no one is making a PC game worth a damn until AFTER those PS4 and 720 ports start hitting PC and start getting people to start buying parts again.

Give it a blasted Rest! We Know High end rigs are amazing and they outpace Consoles
It's always been the case! You pc gamers quit trying to convince console gamers they need PCs to enjoy games.

Stay in your niche market of upgrading your cards to enjoy minimal and very negligible performance boost for the same experience in multiplat game.

And Please stop bring up consoles specs and comparing it to a graphics card as if consoles are less than the sum of their parts, games on both the PS3 and Xbox 360 are still getting games that look remarkable even with PCs being ahead.

It's a moot point. Consoles aren't PC's and by virtue simply can't be labeled as you do. Fact Console Exclusives will be what innovates and moves the industry forward. It isn't about TFLOPs and $1000 graphics cards.

you bring up a point of the GTX 8800 being released the same time as the PS3,.it out performed the PS3 because it shipped with more ram than the PS3 shipped with, while the PS3 had split pool of rams. GTFO with the crap comparisons. It still stands as a point that falls on def ears.

PC gaming is a niche market that is largely dependent on the Console market, engineers and developers, which moves the innovation of the industry forward.

So scream all you want about PC gaming being better, at the end of 6-7 years 90+ million PS4s and 90+ million XBX8 will have surpassed the notch Market of PC elitists and once again the news outlet and industry insiders will be looking forward to the next set of consoles to carry the torch for innovations. Not graphics cards on a memory hog OS PC that runs games you can enjoy on consoles that don't even use the Ram to its full potential at a much higher price.
Axe99  +   348d ago
Well said, but keep in mind that consoles also benefit from the hardcore PC crowd, that pay for a lot of the development that then goes into console hardware. It's a virtuous circle, as the console hardware then takes those improvements to a wider audience, which provides the install base necessary to support the development of games like the Assassin's Creed and numerous other AAA franchises.

If that goes multi it would be a big blow to ms. Sony lost a few exclusives last gen which is why they created more of their own and had put the ball in motion prior to the start. Ms dont have as many active exclusives so losing one of their big 5 is a heavier blow than losing 2 of 10 so to speak. It would be very hypocritical if us who prefer the PlayStation to all of a sudden start loving gears though....it would be like all the metal gear 'cutscene' haters all of a sudden championing the series... it does happen, luckily I own all of the gears on the 360 except one just released so I wouldn't feel any way to welcome it to sonys platform.

Epic already released games on the PlayStation 3, it's not like they hated Sony or anything. The only franchise not on PS3 was Gears Of War, which Microsoft published, funded and advertised for.

Got a good feeling a chunk of developers left Epic recently because MS probably got a new contract for Gears games next gen and they didn't want to be stuck doing Gears games for the next decade.

Why is this kind of debate always springing up... OK we get that a top of the line PC will dominate a ps4, there's no debating that. Thing is; most people just don't have the money to pay for a single PC component that will cost around twice the price of a console. And besides there's some amazing games on consoles that aren't on PC. I know this is just common sense but seriously this "debate" needs to just stop.
cayleee  +   348d ago
1. You dont need top of the line PC to beat a PS4. Mid range PCs will do just that.

2. Mid range PCs that will out perform the PS4 will cost about 500-700usd, Hence if people cant afford that then they cant afford the PS4 either.

BTW PS4 games will cost more ever accounted for that? PCs games always tend to sell 10-20usd cheaper than console versions, Nevermind the Steam sales (those completely make console prices look like a rip off).

Lastly for any one whos been gaming on PC this gen and has a good library. Sticking with PC as main platform next gen makes more sense as you can play all your old games in one place. With PS4 good luck, cant play any of your PS3 games.
wishingW3L  +   348d ago
there is no $500 mid-range PC, that's low-end unless you build it yourself by looking around for cheap parts and other deals. Mid-range PCs cost between $900-1500 at the very least while high-ends are between 2000-3000 dollars with brands like Alienware.

@wishingW3L "between 2000-3000 dollars with brands like Alienware." Who in there right mind buys alienware. Outdated hardware for a premium price. Build it yourself and it is not too bad. Most likely more expensive than a PS4 though. It is important to note that a PC is not just a gaming machine though. I use my PC for many things and gaming is just one of them.
ExCest  +   348d ago

That's exactly the point that people are missing. People over-exaggerate the price of a PC while forgetting that everyone uses a PC for other purposes than gaming.

@wishingW3L It's possible to build a fairly high-end PC (without monitor and peripherals) with $1000 dollars. The $2-3K would be enthusiast level with sound cards and super high end GPUs.
Axe99  +   348d ago
The one thing that a lot of PC-only gamers seem to forget, is that it takes a bit of research, effort and time to build a PC. For gamers with a job, family and responsibilities, time (or interest) isn't necessarily there. Comparing the price of a prefabricated unit to a collection of parts that need to be assembled makes as much sense here as it does in any other industry (ie, none).

That, and the other big issue with PCs is the general work that's required to get things work. PC-only gamers are quick to talk up compatibility, but it's actually harder just getting current-gen games to run on PC than on console, let alone older classics like Master of Orion 2. It's far, far easier for me to play Panzer General and Allied General on my PS3 (then PSOne version of course) than it is on PC. Yes, it's easier to eventually get something to work on PC, but it's hardly the cut-and-dried argument it's made out to be.

I love gaming on PC - there are a range of genres (particularly flight, grand strategy and MMOs) that are far better supported than on console, and it's wonderfully flexible - but with that flexibility comes a whole lot of hassle, which is why, if I have the chance, I'll play a game on console if it's available and runs reasonably (which it does in the vast majority of cases), as I prefer the ease of use to the extra resolution and framerate.

The fact that we have these choices is a good thing - I'm not knocking PC gaming at all (hell, I do enough of it), and I'm not knocking console gaming - but I think we all need to realise not all gamers are the same, and some gamers prefer different things to others. I personally prefer the ease of use (ie, more gaming, less playing around with tech) of a console setup, while others prefer bleeding-edge frame rates and resolutions, and the ability to put on texture mods and have the latest lighting models. As long as we're all happy, we're all good :).
tommygunzII  +   347d ago
All you should really need in my opinion is a mid range PC and a Playstation to suit your gaming needs. You are shortchanging yourself as a gamer if all you play on is a PC. Playstation exclusives are great games that shouldn't be missed.
Lvl_up_gamer  +   348d ago
Of course the ps4 is like the perfect gaming machine. It's LIKE A PC!!!!

PS3 is a train wreck of a console to develop for. PS4 is like a PC so it's much easier to develop on. Ever Developer is going to say the same thing...oh wait, they all already have.

The PS4 is going to be a great console. Period. It's been designed with the developers in mind. It's off the shelf PC parts the developers are accustomed too. We will see great looking games right out the gate when the PS4 releases.

I predict that the ps4 will be easier to program for then the 720. Not that the 720 will be difficult, just that the lack of a custom PS4 will make it easier for developers to work with since it's closer to a PC then the 720 will be since the 720 will be more customized.

The PS4 is built very much like the 360 and the 720 is built very much like the PS3.

When games developers make games for pc they use direct x which belongs to the windows family, they have become masters of this thing called direct x. So you say the ps4 will be more easier to develop for because its more like a pc, the 720 will be harder, because what? its based on direct x 11 the stuff that games developers have been using for years.

Direct x(box) original concept name from microshaft!

Ps4 is more optimised than most PC's and the games will be more optimised since they dont have to worry about millions of hardware options

The market saturation for 64bit OS's is actually quite high... The best card this guy can pull is mentioning the memory limitations of a 32bit OS.
Skynetone  +   348d ago
its more too do with min specs, ie all games have to be compatible with wins 32bit, its a business decision to sell more games

i think battlefield was one of the first games to reguire a 64 bit os,

yes the world is moving on, and more and more games will reguire a 64 bit os

there are millions of gpus out there with 1/2 gigs of gddr5 memory, should developers suddenly stop support for these gpus just because the titan is out which has 6 gigs, no because its bad for business

BF3 was a 32bit executable... I believe it was MOH:Warfighter your thinking of. Next gen will most likely have more games that require a 64 bit OS but it's about time they do so... the 64bit architecture has been laying dormant for quite some time when it comes to gaming. I don't really understand your last part... it came out of nowhere. Having 6gb's of VRAM is great for multi-monitor setup's but 2gb is all you need for a single monitor @ 1080p.

Many PC fanboys here are underestimating the levels of optimization that can be done on consoles. Even though we won't be seeing the same graphical options that PC offers on consoles, I'm expecting the PS4 and most likely the nextBox to be able to easily keep up with PC for atleast 2 years.

Tech specs be damned. PS4 is proof that our next gen gaming experiences are going to be awesome, regardless of which system we choose.

The Steambox is like 'a really perfect gaming PC' sounds more accurate...if that thing is even real.

Perfect as in mid to low end pc but not upper end pc.

You know what I hear when PC gamers start comparing PC to Consoles!?

Yadda yadda yadda CPU, yadda yadda GPU, Flops yadda yadda FPS, Graphics........

I get it PCS destroy Consoles! Which is why they shouldn't be spoken of in the same sentence./s

Some pcgamers still think They know everything. Epic says flat out that ps4 is a better gaming machine than most pc's. Most...not every single one. To call epic liars is not a great move in my book. What do you pcgamers know of games development anyway, and how much experience do you have with development for the ps4. None...though so. Too many selvapointed experts on these forums IMO

I know quite a bit about games development and I must have missed all these people calling epic liars. I don't really think it is a compliment if you are saying that the console is better than most PCs. I'm pretty sure that is just common knowledge.

I'm so bored of PC specs willy waving. The new wave of consoles is gonna be great for PC & raise the bar. PC is gonna be great for incredibly high resolutions & frame rates, but the games are gonna be the same.

I'm going to listen to Carmack over the PC "experts" on here. He said Sony made smart engineering choices and fixed console architecture offers double the same PC spec performance . I think he knows a little more than moaners trying to justify expensive purchases.
All provide high quality games .

Epic lines its own pockets for posting more BS, 32 bit windows, lol... Who even uses that anymore, 2 gig of ram yeah if your using vista. Come on really, i got 8 gig running windows 8 and it uses 1.2 gig of ram. If your pc is a 32bit version of windows, then it isn't a gaming pc... Come on Mr game developer talk some fricking sense up in this mess.

Pc's with a decent card (580 or 6970 and up) can do multi monitor games. My card can do 2k and 4k...

I dont even think you will be getting 60fps at 1080p. 30fps 1080p easily though, but do that what pc's have been doing for a considerable amount of time

Let's be realistic here. It's true what they are saying. Most of the people own normal computers which mean low specs like windows 7 32-bit. It's reality right now. I don't see one person in my neighbor who own a computer pc that have higher then 2GB of ram. Maybe after 3 or 4 years you will see people own powerful pc's but right now ps4 is like owning a 4k tv in these days.

Ps4 is gonna be great for few years , All thee developers are happy with it even pc developers. Why fighting each other when we should be excited for it. Pc is a Pc , Ps4 is a console so it's unfair to compare them.
