hey..... PC has the best controls...... and this aint any topic to discuss abt.........
Once you get control over the analog, then console are the best.
If u dont, still then its fun in console(and the vibration in ps2)
pc is the easiest and the superb tye of gaming u wont get the exact type of graphics frm a x-box or ps.
u just possibly compare the 2..try shooting a running object in a console...but at the same time try(imagine) playing a wrestling or mortal kombat in ur pc..
For me PC controls r always better than Console controls in FPS and Action genre games..but consoles r always better 4 games like Mortal Combat, POP which needs various combinations of keyboard strokes and mouse combos....for these types the Consoles stays at top on the basis of comfortability..... but the fact is tht the consoles r always future proof coz the games tht r released 4 a particular console will definitely be playable on it at the highest qual and the max smoothness possible... but for PCs...thrs always a need 2 upgrade exists .. the best gfx card card today is always replaced by its future sibling...and the oncoming PC games always try to match the latest hardware available.
hi
PC gaming is expensive as it requires frequent hardware upgrades.
consoles in india are not a feasible option because of the difficulty to get games for them.
but b/w the 2, i'd stick with the PC.
me 2 using both pc n a xbox
there r no 2 opinions on the issue of where the FPSs play better . doom3 on the pc is unmatchable 2 that on the xbox . this due 2 the k/b - mouse combo n whole lot better graphics
having said that cant imagine playing burnout 3 or 4 that matter dead or alive : ultimate , on ne thing else but the console . the force feedback the moves the controls ...... no dude pc cant match that
choose the genre , n then take the dip
n d00d , a gamer is a gamer is a gamer . u cant compare the 2
nothing to discuss and argue about really. it depends on the type of game being played
I can beat myself in nfsug2 while playing with my rumblepad compared to playin with kb/mouse
similarly in case of fps like halflife2/doom3 a kb/mouse combo will be my choice. joypad/joystick sucks in case of fps .
played fifa2004/nfsug2 on a sony ps2 like vibration usb controller ....it rocks
Console gaming is more fun than PC gaming.
Yeah thats true.
Becuse u dont need to remember keys.
And every new game today release for consoles first.
Well, PC games differ in graphics. But i think this is not the case with console. Console games r created for console configuration which is same 4 all console(for ex-ps2). So graphics wont differ a lot. Even if a new game arrives ,it has almost same graphics. This is not the case with the PCs,newer n newer games arrive with newer graphics 4 different configs. So i like PC games rather then a console.
well due it depends upon ths user
my vote goes to pc games coz i like keb+mic
i relly like to drag that chuha on the pad
console games..console gamers like but i like pc games
This debate would be a never ending one. There can be no clear winner here.
Personally i prefer pc because of the kind of strategy games i play and the numerous keyboard shortcuts and mouse features that i use.
I guess at the end of the day it depende on what kind of game you are playing.
Well thats absolutely correct del piero..........there's no beating the fact that in a console you pop in the game and expect to have the best possible graphics played without hitches or crashes............
...............but
a pc can do much much more..............its more flexible.
Err...Delpiero...I don't know how you can say that games look better on the PS2 than they do on PCs. It's the ports that end up looking worse on the PC. And mind you, the Resident Evil series ports were certainly not the best ports to the PC that you will see. If you really wanna compare, compare games like NFSU/U2 which were released for all platforms at the same time. The Xbox versions of games look anyday better than the PS2 and the PC tops that too. Just look at DOOM III on the Xbox and on the PC.
Of course, consoles have the price benefit and buy and play advantage too. But until the next generation comes, PC graphics are far superior to any console.
@Delpiero
lol the RE3 graphics seems to be poor becoz its an old game so it doesnt accept high resolutions in the game by default due to newed graphic chips
all u have to do is just fress F2 and choose a high resolution and then watch the difference
even the worst of onboards play that game at high resolution
give it a try and then say that PC rulz!
well i think the gfx card manufacturers won't be behind the consoles. take for example the physics gfx card being developed. btw i personally feel that if u r a c gamer u get used to playing on the keyboard/mic combo. but if u r used to a console then u r used to playing on the controller. for example the cursor keys on the keyboard are to the right but on the console controller they r on the left. so it takes some time to get used to either of them. this isn't really a debatable topic.
PC Definitely
PC wins hands down
controls may be a prob if the game has been ported from a console
the ingame graphics and sound effects are grt on a PC
also ability to add mods and patches to a PC title
ammusk
u know, why there is no Black & white for consoles??
b'coz the creator thought that "Consoles are for ppl who go to the bar, come home half drunk and play a game,
PC gamers are ppl who play games instead of going to the bar. i believe that my game will suffer on the console purely b'coz of the lack of intellect of console gamers"
Flame him with ur sorry pleas consolers..not me..
Most games that require u to apply ur mind(skill) are not good on consoles. try FPS on ur console without auto aiming..
RE3 looks better on the PC, if u have the hardware.. Just count the polygons man.. there is no comparison betn Xbox, PS II and a 6800 or even 6600 card.
of course PS2 graphics and gaming is better..
but as ppl said .. PC can be upgraded..
only a hardcore gamer can understand the usage of a PS2 over a PC.. if u ask any hardcore gamer.. he will choose PS2..
Heh heh.. i don't c u console boys replying to my previous posts.. grow up dudes..
All major high stakes events are organized on PC gaming the world over.
I think we have more pc using ppl then console using ppl here...............
CONSOLES Vs PC Ultimate WARS
I own these 3 consoles
Xbox
Dreamcast
Nintendo NES
I play them all on a 29" TV with a dolby surround 5:1 sound setup on Bose amp. My XBOX is chipped,and i have starter Cd for playing pirated games on DC(no original games in INDIA).
I also have a relativly good PC, and I honestly say that Console gaming far surpasses PC Gaming.
Why?
With console games you just pop the DVD into your system and you're ready to play without having to install and without having to pray to God that the game will run nicely.
I prefer playing FPS's on consoles with the Controllers to playing with a Keyboard and Mouse...With Halo on Xbox, my thumbs adapt easily to the controls while on PC I find it more harder to play. (maybe because there is a shorter distance between keys on a controller then on a keyboard.)
The graphics for PS2 and Xbox on my TV are much crisper and clearer then what I can get on a 17" PC monitor (especially on Xbox) where games like Splinter Cell and Halo are far superior to the graphics on the PC version.
Chech www.IGN.com's review on DOOM3 for PC and XBOX.And SHOCKINGLY DOOM3 XBOX got more score than DOOM3 PC in terms of graphics(still proud of ur Geforce 6800??) You'll never, ever have to worry about upgrading your console to be able to play a single game or worry about hardware drivers etc, until 3 or 4 years after the latest console is released, when a new one comes out.
With split-screen multiplayer on my TV, when playing a 2 person game each person has a screen the size of a PC monitor, so that's not a problem.
A Geforce 6800 Ultra costs around $400... That's the hardware alot of people say is superior to both the Xbox and PS2 graphical power, however those people forget that with that money, you can get both a PS2 and Xbox! Plus, seeing as consoles are made specifically for games and use their resources for nothing else, one cannot compare Console specs with PC specs. The Xbox has a 64MB 3D Card if I'm correct, however that plays games like Halo incredibly smoothly, while if you were to play that on a PC on high settings you'd need a 128MB card at least.
Consoles also come out first with more original games... L.A True Crimes, Cookies and Milk, Blinx the Time Sweeper, Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time/Warrior Whithin, Silent Hill 2/3/4, Metal Gear Solid, Grand Theft Auto 3,Vice City,SA, Splinter Cell, Head-Hunter,Metroid Prime Echoes, Shenmu and Socom with it's voice-activated friendly AI etc.
Console games usually get higher marks then PC games for the ratio of Console games being released in contrast with PC games. Also note that Soul Calibur on Dreamcast got the coveted 10/10 on IGN.com
All the best games I've ever played appeared first on consoles before being ported to PC... And the console versions are still better.
Metal Gear Solid 2
GTA 3,Vice City,San Andreas
Halo
Hitman 2
Silent Hill 2
Etc.
Onto Mods... Alot of people use this in defence of PC games. Yes, downloading new mods and levels is not so readily available on consoles as it is on PC's but it's getting there. Local magazines here in South Africa release fan-made mods and missions on a Demo CD which can be installed onto the Xbox Box, and with Xbox Live, you can download missions to games such as Splinter Cell... I can see modding on consoles to become more popular soon.
Now we come to prices.
I have a AMD 64 2800+, 512MB DDram, 80Gig HD, 17" Monitor and a Geforce 4 ti4600 128 MB... This came to around Rs50,000 wholesale(bought Sept 2003)
A PS2 and Xbox, chipped, would come to around Rs22,000...There you have above-PC Standard gaming at a low price and games are now practically free. Don't get me wrong, I'm not ripping PC Gaming at all... I think it's awesome, however it's just too expensive and too tedious to have to always upgrade and worry about your systems performance in games when you can just buy a console and not have to hassle over that again!
All in all, in my opinion...Consoles are better for gaming then PC's. If you're going to reply to this thread, do so in a legible and intelligable way

Its quite useless comparing consoles to the pc.Anyone playing on a high end pc is as happy as someone playing on a console.Those with low and medium pc configurations will find the console experience better.
@Mikael - Ur shifting way too far from the orginal topic.
@Death Dart - If you like to play games, console is really good .
And if you want to game a PC is good. Simple as that
But the point is that console thing is becoming obsolete, each of the next gen consoles are becoming like a PC.
BTW There is no winner between PS2 and PC both have their advantages and disadvantages.
