When they claim its in-game engine it belongs in this convo with my point that these consoles are possibly stronger then people think with DR/QB offering the best visuals around being great examples of this.
They told everyone it was real then re said it on twitter when asked. We won't know until we see more/its released.They can claim anything they want, ala Killzone 2 E3 2005 but until there is actual game play running on a retail machine, it's all bullshots and pre rendered videos. So no, it really doesn't belong here.
and Crysis 3 is over a year old and still the best looking game I have ever PLAYED.

So until then you can't call anything bull shots.
Crysis 3 was one of my examples of the best looking games(smokes Killzone SF/Ryse) and isn't a couple years old LOL try less then a year old.[/quote]
Crysis 3 was released on February 19th 2013, now correct me if I am wrong but it is past Feburary 19th right?
Unless you're Crytek and put out this tech demo:
That has all been seen in game when I play/played Crysis 3, minus the joke of the tessellated toad.
You are correct LOL@VaLLiancE thought it was March..I should of known better having it pre-ordered and all.Crysis 3 was released on February 19th 2013, now correct me if I am wrong but it is past February 19th right?
I'd be OK paying $800 for a console, but I think I'm in the minority there.
Boy, arent you one of the very ones knocking the XBO because its $500?!?I'd be OK paying $800 for a console, but I think I'm in the minority there.
Seems like you work awfully hard to find reasons to defend your precious box. Since you had to bring it up though, the Xbone is not worth $500 to me, so you see it is not the price but rather the value. What my post was actually referring to however, was that the only way we would have gotten a console that pushed high-end PC specs is if it cost about $800 dollars.Boy, arent you one of the very ones knocking the XBO because its $500?!?

So wrong you are man! He doesn't own or play the Xbox One! He just likes to troll things he knows nothing about.Seems like you work awfully hard to find reasons to defend your precious box.

Given comparable power an $800 "steambox" >>> the $500 XBO all day long, every day, twice on sunday.
Why?
Because of the GAMES. There's simply more for the PC/Steambox, there's simply more good/great games for the PC/Steambox and there are more good/great EXCLUSIVE GAMES for the PC/Steambox.
Oh yeah and they're cheaper by like 60% on average (unless you're a day 1 type, then they're only about $10 cheaper in most cases).
So since buying a gaming platform is supposed to be about the games (something XBO fans endlessly claim) the choice would be simple.
That is a matter of opinion though. I have a PC. Have been gaming for a lot of years on PC and I actually would disagree. Yes, there are more games overall, but I for example do not like strategy games all that much, so there goes a huge chunk of those games and exclusives. I have yet to find a free to play game I like, there goes another chunk. Most of the small indie games suck, and I'm not a huge MMO player either.
and lets face it, it is all about games. If it isn't then what the hell are we all doing ?
lol ... who the heck knows, Most gamers on forums talk as if they were the ones who designed the consoles. Who knows what these things will be capable of in 2-3 years?! and PC elitist can scream all they want ... jugding from the PS4 sales so far most devs will think 2x were to put the games and guess what PC will always be held back by 'inferior' console so the master race ain't there yet ....
It's hard to embrace the classic console "not coded to the metal yet" line of thinking this gen when they're both using weak AMD GPU's with very much standard issue PC architecture. I expect nothing more than "optimization" over the next 2-3 years.
I hope I'm wrong to be honest. Guess we'll know for sure when more X1/PS4 only exclusives drop that take advantage of the increased system memory.

You don't like strategy games? Cool. Still doesn't negate the fact that the PC has the largest library of them. The largest, best and most exclusive library of them in fact.
You don't like F2P games? That's cool too. I'm loving Path of Exile (far and away a better ARPG is almost every regard compared to Diablo 3). That still doesn't change the fact that the PC has the largest library of them.
Same with any other genre (save maybe a handful). Any genre someone enjoys is represented in a larger, better fashion than any console to date, regardless if you personally like them or not.
So when someone spends (as some are obviously willing to do) $800 for a platform, if they have access to Steam then they have access to the largest library of games both multiplatform and exclusive. Not only that but they have access to them much cheaper than their console counterparts. What's more is they have access to games from 5, 10 and even 15+ years ago. How's that backwards compatibility working out for consoles these last, oh... 30 years or so?
But I don't want to get into an argument with you about it. A console peasant expressed surprise that someone would buy an $800 platform over his preferred over-priced underpowered platform and I explained why he shouldn't be so surprised.
Never even attempted to negate the overall size. I even agreed with it right off the bat, But once you start throwing around terms like greatest, and best, it becomes an opinion.
and yes, I am not a big fan of strategy games. Only one series ever really caught me and that is the Civilization franchise.
See how you didn't need to throw opinion based terms in here ? Now there is nothing to say. Now there is nothing that can be said.
Not arguing at all. I actually agree with you overall. Think the above does enough to show why I replied.
$800 for a steam box? Hmm, but might as well put this money on a PC.
For a power PC user like me
