There are good games on both platforms. No one can complain!

There are also many, many more that I did not mention! Mass Effect 2 comes to mind, or Burnout Paradise! It was difficult to limit this to five games.. and I’m not even suggesting that they’re the five best!

I actually agree with much of what both of you are saying. I’m not trying to make an argument for ports being in any way superior than exclusives, or suggesting that any of these ports are *perfect*, just that they’re great games… and in many cases represent the best versions!

So should all the PC games go to the consoles? That seems like the point you want to make at the end there. How about making more console franchise move over to the PC before complaining about the lack of genres on consoles.

Consoles having worse performance than PC is due to limitations in their hardware, people that buy consoles should know it and complaining about it won’t do anything. As for console ports of PC games playing worse, that is what happens when games are ported over to systems that are not design to handle it. If the only satisfactory solution is to make consoles perform better than PC, then go cry more.

This article expalins that PC players feel betray because PC franchise moved to consoles, so that point about BF2142 is null. The equivalent case for consoles would have been if Halo Reach or Uncharted 3 became PC only.

Capcom’s support in this case does not mean the quality of their games on the PC, but the quantity. It is still true that Capcom’s number of consoles titles out number their PC titles, and PC versions of console titles are usually delay by quite a bit.

1º)”Capcom isn’t exactly well known for their PC support” … and since 2 years ago first Lost Planet, where have you been? Times are changing. Anyway, all of them, cheaper and better in PC (both Lost Planet, R.E.5, DMC 4, SF IV, etc)

From here, I thank to Capcom new gen games PC support.

2º) Batman AA:

- PC: 1200p, 60 fps.
- Xbox 360 & PS3: 720p + limited to 30 FPS. (for some, that is not even HD resol: Max Payne 2 in PC then would be HD)

3º) First Assassin´s Creed on videoconsoles: the worst version of all. If you are happy with that version, congratulations. Not to be very proud of that version.

And second A.C. 2 suffers from Screen Tearing, due to the inexistence of control in the graphic menu.

4º) Did videoconsoles audience felt ignore with no Battlefield 2142 version? Or the mutilated Battlefield 2 with ONLY 32 players + no expansions at all ?

Battlefields with less than 64 = videoconsolish Battlefield. No, thanks. It is a regresion, not an evolution.

5º) What about RTS ? Graphical Adventures? Flying Simulators ?
Exclusive RPG or FPS ?

Very relative article. And not very serious. But thanks anyway for a “not objetive” point of view:

a) Not same developers. b) Not same kind of genres games c) Not same nationalities working on the games… what are you trying to sale here…a magical potion like in Far West old times ?

P.S: STALKERs, The Witcher, Risen, ETQW, Crysis Wars, ArmA 2 for multi, Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising…? Shattered Horizons?
