I have done the same got an xbox and now hooked on it, but I am still loyal to pc & always will be. Besides with pc you can make mods and in broadband it runs at the speed of single player game.

Malisk Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Nah, companies making computer games are still making big $$$ As long as they do this, they'll keep on making them. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Bull}{Dog~ Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Games are developed on PCs so its always going to be a viable platform. PCs are also turning into media centres rather than tools for work and word processing so the future still looks bright. Every year the same topic is brought up and magazines (Console and multiplatform at least) say PCs are on the way out. Thats normal though, they wont be winning over many fans if they say that PCs are where all the action is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkinzer Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 I think PCs have every advantage over consoles. First of all, consoles don't have the range of input devices available for PCs. And the input devices they do have don't have the number of keys as a keyboard or the flexibility of a mouse. If you could match up a PC gamer and a console gamer in the same FPS, the PC gamer with the mouse would cream the console gamer. You can't match the precision and flexibility of a PC's input devices. Then there's the issue of storage. And upgradeability. And the many other things you can use a PC for that a console could never be used for. You can't go from playing music, to writing a research paper, to browsing the Internet, to playing a game with a console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzla Veteran Posted December 15, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 15, 2003 Look at the sales and you have to say yes. The offer of a greater profit when developing for consoles is too tempting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poind Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 PC games aren't going anywhere. Biggest change I could see happening in coming years is that people get more tired of "shooter" things as a genre and demand more variety and creativity. As capabilities theoretically increase, I'd expect games get even more intricate, and just shooting things eventually comes to seem relatively boring. If anything, consoles may become more-and-more PC like (adding keyboards for more complex games and such, allowing hardware upgrades...). *Should* things start to shift towards consoles, there are a lot of major tech companies with significant interest in keeping games on PC's who would likely end up making their own stuff if they had to after mergers and the like (Intel, ATI/Nvidia, etc.)....

YaZoR Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 four(5?) words Doom 3 Half-Life 2 developed for pc, new gfx technology etc all pumped into them. now, tell me pc games are dying, and are sh!t compared to consoles. thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizbit Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 pc games arent dying - cos console games are just arcade style games, if you want a proper simulation then it has to be the PC imo. Besides how can you play a first poerson shooter witha control pad - you have to have a mouse!! :p :p Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron901 Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 i'm sure PC gaming won't die, but to me, it's already dead. :D consoles gaming is just so much better and funnier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaZoR Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 i refuse to play any fps on consoles with joypad, quake2 on psx was a prime example. you just dont have the presicion. usb mouse/keyboard worked fine in q3revolution on ps2. but barring that, its pointless. one reasone why i think halo and metroid prime were over hyped shyte. fuking dog poo they were for me. yet they got top marks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noir Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 There are some types of games that just wouldn't be the same on a console, strategy games (I wouldn't want to play one without a mouse, and a TV would make it hard to see everything), FPS games (they have those but as Tom said with autoaim). A solution could be to have a mouse connected to the console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaZoR Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 A solution could be to have a mouse connected to the console. snes mouse. psx mouse. dreamcast mouse. usb mouse to ps2. its already been done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noir Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 I know it's done, but really how many people have one? Plus that most games aren't made for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quigley0 Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 I think I may have voted wrong. I said that PC gaming rules, and it does. But, I think that in the next few years, it will be gone. Not because the games are bad, or that no one is buying them, but because I really think that PC's are going the way of "entertainment center PC's". So, I think you PC will be your Stereo, DVD Player, Recorder, and, gaming machine. So, I think the console market and PC gamming market will merge. Look at the xBox. One step closer...

uniacidz Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Nah PC games will always be a strong bunch. With the addition of the AMD64, graphics cards running at incredible rates and other hardware development, its great. PCs are not only workstations, internet usage, media centres but also gaming systems and servers. Why get a console when you have have the same game on PC thats looks incredible?

Dazzla Veteran Posted December 17, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 17, 2003 Because PC gaming just isn't as easy as console gaming to the average consumer, the ones who buy 10's of millions of games. With the introduction of Longhorn and technologies such as just sticking a disc in and playing like console gaming then maybe, yeah. But for now the fact that it takes way, way too much effort to play games on a PC for the average bob is holding it back in terms of revenue.
