>>136266992I don't think anything related to a map difference between 1993 and 2010 has anything to do with the the hardware limitations of consoles.
I don't really think this is console's fault, only PC gamers who just joined to play games on max settings and not really to enjoy the online play,mods,communities or exclusive games believe this, if I would to compare those "PC gamers" to anything I think the closest thing would be Geth Heretics.
Now what I do think is that casual players enjoy modern games, they enjoy a quick sit down a play games, GTA:SA is probably when gaming went really mainstream (not to say GTA wasn't really mainstream before then, it was just that gaming was relatively small compared to now and 2 million was a big success)
The thing is PC is expensive, the current price of a ps3 is less than that of a good PC (stop posting low-end builds,no one uses them because it's fucking retarded).
I believe it's just lazy developing, you can easily create something good looking on PC and optimize the game for consoles, I take TW2 as an example, beautiful game but it's on the the xbox 360.
I believe without consoles this industry would crash harder than ever before, it's too big to rely on people who mostly pirate games, it needs people who will pick up anything for a quick sit down, not any dedicated people with taste in what they play (oh I don't mean PC players today, like I said they are heretics)
