Shooters were basically built for PC's. Doom 1/2 to Crysis, It's all just better on a PC. And the power, versatility, Modding potential, and control is undisputed. But Why Do consoles suddenly show more popularity than PC's? Cost. It's as simple as that. a good Gaming PC will cost easily twice as much as any rival console. This Logic is No More!
There has always been a race between PC hardware and gaming software. Software wants to demand more and hardware wants to provide more. Software, up until a few years ago has had the lead in the race, so only the rich and super geeky could afford to play the best games on first the games' first day. After that point Hardware has caught up and is now holding the lead. More people can now play the best new games for less that $700 (nutsty picture until upgraded, but they can play them). But the race seems to be about over.
GeForce has released there Duel Core GPU with the 9 series. Due core CPUs are nearly imposable to top with any one task, which really is amazing. But now Imagen a GPU that can handle all of the world's games. EVER! No more graphics lag. EVER!!! The graphics will only be limited by the writers of the game.
This won't become true for some time (a year or so I'd guess) but the prospect is so likely I'd buy stalk if I had money. Basically the advancement in GPU is running so much faster than the games they power that they already crossed and now it's a short wait for yesterday's best GPU to be more powerful than tomorrow's game.
After that, a more-than-fully-sufficient gaming GPU will become standard with all gaming PC's. What's the difference than? about 400 bucks.
Consoles will become just as powerful, but the cost won't really be that big of a difference. PC Gaming will become much, much more common with mainstream gaming.
I've been adding the events up for the past two weeks, and I'm just stoked!
What do you think? Cool As Hell!?! Wrong? Alternative prediction?
