kiddingguy Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Hi, I am thinking of buying an X-Box (mostly for PGR2 and Dead or Alive 3). However, I was wondering if these types of games (racing and fighting) are also for PC and have similar graphical details (just to save the amount of money on the X-Box ;)) Or should I just go for the X-Box instead? Thanx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazgul Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Well, there's quite a few good racing games for PC... a lotta the major console ones are released on PC also, i.e. NFS:U, etc. However, the PC hasn't had a fighting game at ALL in years, unfortunetly. So, if you want to play those, you really do need a console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nugg3t Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 pgr2 and DoA are not on pc, both of them are great games, for that, youll need to buy an xbox. which is a great console :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MxxCon Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 LFS is much more realistic racing sim than PGR2/GT4 as for fighting...PC has all mortal combat games(xcept latest one). with emulators you can play almost every single arcade fighting game out there.. there's also somewhat obscure port of Guilty Gear X, which i think looks the best on PC comparing to all consoles. **** consoles!

LFS is also much more boring. And by every arcade fighting game, you must not be refering to any of the Tekkens, Virtua Fighter 4, Soul Calibur I or II, Capcom vs. SNK 1 and 2, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MxxCon Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 One Must Fall: Battlegrounds just went gold for the PC, first fighting game in YEARS. i was beta testing it for about a year and a half, and i must say it's pretty disapointing. it looks nothing like original OMF. plays nothing like original OMF. the only thing they kept from original game was the name and looks of some of the bots. :no: And by every arcade fighting game, you must not be refering to any of the Tekkens, Virtua Fighter 4, Soul Calibur I or II, Capcom vs. SNK 1 and 2, etc.tekken games are emulated, so are virtual fighter, soul calibur and capcom vs snk.Talk about biased feedback...what exactly is about my statement above is baised? the fact that you can play LFS on pc? or that Guilty Gear X looks the best on pc? or the fact that consoles are killing pc gaming? i don't see anything biased so stfu dolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly, Live For Speed should never have been suggested since it is a simulation and Project Gotham Racing 2 is a fast-paced arcade title. Consoles are not bringing the death of personal computers and their position in modern gaming, if anything it is the opposite direction. Consoles are dedicated systems while personal computers are developed with multi-tasking in mind yet have been a large influence to PC developers. To say console-based gaming is the downfall of gaming across the PC platform is arrogant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threetonesun Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 tekken games are emulated, so are virtual fighter, soul calibur and capcom vs snk. I'd love to see an emulator that can play Virtual Fighter 4, Tekken 4, either Soul Calibur, and any of the CvsSNK games. Or any of the Dead or Alives. Are you going to tell me I can play Smash brothers on the PC too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly, Live For Speed should never have been suggested since it is a simulation and Project Gotham Racing 2 is a fast-paced arcade title.OMG i commited genocide by suggesting SIMULATION instead of arcade racer. fine. PC has more than enough fast-paced arcade titles.Consoles are not bringing the death of personal computers and their position in modern gaming, if anything it is the opposite direction. To say console-based gaming is the downfall of gaming across the PC platform is arrogant.right. it's opposite. aha. becuase of that pc gamers got halfassed port of halo 3 years late. that's why pc gamers got gta3/gta3vc like a year later. that's why pc gamers are still waiting on next mechwarrior game. that's why developers release barely working games and then jump on concole ports, or release pc ports as an after thought..when they free time between chocking on all the money all those sell-out ****s are getting from consoles.don't you even dare to say otherwise. god dammed consoles are killing pc gaming. and if you can not see that you should pull your head out of your ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chouzan Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 don't have valid points to prove me otherwise?good. run w/ your tail between your legs. The sprites of Guilty Gear X are fairly distorted and the edges of environmental variables are very rough and crude as compared to the blended edges in the arcade incarnation. Also, I never denied that they were not any racing titles available for the PC that followed the arcade genre, I was simply pointing out that you were in no position to make judgment on others if you had mentioned a game that doesn't even remotely come close to its style of game play. As far as your claims over console gaming and it's destructive nature to the well-being of PC gaming, I still fail to see how any of your accusations hold true. Developers have chosen to provide their titles on console-based platforms because there is a set standard and it far easiest to construct upon. It is not a matter of income, if this were so we would see many of them abandoning the PC platform altogether. I also do not understand how you are accusing console manufacturers of causing the delay between MechWarrior titles, the series has not debuted on consoles as of lately with a minor exception to MechAssault which was a fast-paced third-person shooter led by a different team. Inspiration through console development is a large influence and you provided a well-exposed example, Halo. It was not until Bungie placed the PC portion of the project aside that they re-constructed Halo and laid out the premise of what it is now. These advancements were made during the console development era of the project, and since have reflected on the overall design implemented into Halo and adopted by many other titles. And I chose not to reply simply because I recognize that there is a portion of society that refuses to consider variations and opinions that oppose their's. This is not to say that I denounce your views, I agree on some aspects but I cannot tolerate your attempts to prove others wrong, nor your consistency to use vulgar language. Any man can slap on an offensive phrase in a destructive manner, but it takes one of skill to avoid such confrontations and still provide the same impact.

threetonesun Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 not "virtual fighter 4" but earlier, not "tekken 4" but earlier, and if you have 2 brain cells you'd be able to play soul blade, CAPCOMvsSNK1/2, DoA1/2 on PC. don't know/care about "smash brothers". Soul Blade != Soul Calibur, and I don't know of any emulator that plays Capcom vs. SNK 2. Please let me know which of your two brain cells knows about it, as well as DOA 2. Plus, why would I want to play earlier version of a game? How about when Doom III comes out, you go play Doom II because that's all your system is capable of running. That's just asinine.

MxxCon Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 MechAssult was supposed to be PC title too! but MS ****** us over yet again! i can show you countless examples were PC gamers get screwed over by GREED of developers. where PC versions of the game were released just to shutup those few people that were expecting given game or as an attempt at a "lucky shot", "what if this game will sell millions". where as consoles titles get full backing by developers and publishers. when was the last time you saw PC-only title advertized on tv? Uru..and before that? or how many times do you see ads on tv/mags/online/PR where they talk about given game on "all systems" but no word about PC, when pc version is already out or already in the making. yes, "consoles" themself are not killing pc gaming. it's god dammed greedy ass developers do. and all those ###### are not getting a single dollar out of it. i'm not buy a single game from developers that back-stab PC gamers.

wired57 Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Ah having pc, xbox, and ps2 I have to say go with the xbox, granted the games may not look as nice sometimes as they do on the pc, but you don't have to upgrade constantly to keep the new cool games, which I find a awsome feature in itself.

WE made them what they are today and these ungrateful bustards turn on us like that! :angry: It is true that many developers are being persuaded from low support on the PC platform and the opportunity to dive into the massive promise of success while developing titles specifically for consoles. I have recently migrated to PC gaming as my primary source over console gaming, and do see some points you're trying to portray. It all depends on the customer though, if many follow suite and dismiss such titles perhaps the developers will take note and return to the PC platform. But I would hate to take the chance and lose some of the ingenuity and creativity provided by console platform and fighting games available for console systems. Dedicated hardware is also a positive side, every resource devoted to a single task, and it is a cheap alternative than suppling your computer with the proper hardware to meet the sufficient requirements as opposed to "single unit" scenario with consoles. So, for the most part I agree with you, but I don't believe we should abandon the concepts driven and provided by console developers such as Nintendo, Tecmo and Capcom.
