Can't think of any console ports I play on PC besides occasionally COD... but any shooter with a mouse is way better than a controller.

I disagree, I like the feel of actually using a trigger when I blow somebody's head off in a video game. :laser:

Wha what? I've played some newer games, I just end up a lot of times going back to the older ones cause they have more gampeplay at the expense of being a bit less shiny.
Tell you the rawest truth as to why I'm a PC gamer... all the games are free :naughty:
But also I play a lot of strategy games, don't own a TV, like to mod games, and like a mouse over finger joysticks :tongue:

yah i get that, just saying all the games since about the time those consoles came out for the most part have been ports, which to some degree has to do with your raw truff.  My main point is that the benifits of being a pc gamer are coming to a close, and when the new consoles come out or sometime during there lifespan i have a hunch the pc will be removed from the competition

It really depends what your in to when it comes to gaming. They both have different advantages.

Xbox advantages:
more preffered for fps games, and more serious fps gamers use it.(at least IME)
More exclusives, some game developers seem to lean more towards xbox
Earlier Map packs for certain games
Less Hacking
Cheaper than PS3

Disadvantages:
Pay For online
Lots of  little kids
RROD

PS3 advantages:
Free Online
Blu ray
internet browser
Overall better specs compared to xbox
Certain exclusive games

Disadvantages:
less people use headsets
HeadsetsPlug into console instead of controller
More Hackers
less attention from certain game developers resulting in more problems with game play

I prefer xbox to ps3 because
most of my friends play xbox
More people use headsets
the web browser its kind of shitty and useless imo
I have no need for bluray since I havn't even paid for a movie in years
xbox was cheaper
I also prefer xbox controllers

A gaming pc imo is superior because the they are capable of much more than consoles. Anyone who disagrees with that is probably a fanboy.

But a good gaming pc is way too Expensive for me and I don't know a single person with one.
Also a, keyboard and mouse for gaming sounds unappealing to me, a controller just send more natural when it comes to gaming.

for some reason x box controllers have always felt really shitty to me.  I recently played a bunch of marvel vs capcom 3 on ps3, and then on xbox.
It was really frustrating, entirely because of the controller everything feels slower and less responsive.

But yeah, in every other way you'd probably have to go with xbox.

edit: i dunno, maybe my brain is just trained the the ps controllers though.  I can't use a Wii controller and i've used a wii at least a dozen times.  Its just frustrating and stupid having to wave your hands around...

Holy fuck, YES.

I love my ps3 because I went onto PSN and downloaded FF7,8 & 9 and Grandia. I hate my ps3 because for some fucking asinine reason, they decided the gaming community is too broke to buy a system that can also play ps2 games. Blue ray is nice, but my tv is just 720p and nothing special, so I really don't notice MUCH difference between dvd and blue ray.

But, as everybody knows, the battle between Playstation and Xbox will be eternal. For the people who want to rise above the petty drama, I suggest a Nintendo DS, coupled Pokemon Black/White. Then buy a PSP so you can download porn movies onto it and watch them on long public transportation rides. :cool:

isn't there less hacking on the Xbox because Microsoft perma banned anyone using a modded xbox?

most of the PS3 head sets I've seen were wireless so they don't get plugged in anywhere

I think the exclusives speak for themselves

Metal Gear Solid
Final Fantasy
Gran Turismo
Demon's Souls

Playstation controllers are awful.  I miss the original Xbox controller, those were so perfect.  The Xbox360 is still lightyears more comfortable than the PS2/3.  Damn Sony!  We aren't all tiny people with tiny hands!  WTF

And then there's the complete lack of exclusive games I care about AT ALL on the PS3.  I saw your list.  For me it's Forza Motorsports over Gran Turismo (which sucks, I vowed to never play it again after I 100% GT4.  Yeah I even beat all the endurance races...), and the rest of those I don't care about at all.  I'm not a gamer by any stretch.  I'm fine with the following:

Call of Duty
Forza Motorsports
Grand Theft Auto
Beautiful Katamari
Plants vs. Zombies

There aren't any other games out there that hold my attention at all.  I'm fine with the Xbox and its superior controller without adapters and stuff.  Even then, with an adapter, it would be very confusing to need to press Triangle or Square and not know to which Xbox controller button it relates.

I've played all of those systems and the original Xbox controller fits MY hand perfectly.  I'm also under the impression that Microsoft had tons and tons of gamers give their input on the original Xbox controller after focus group use.  Either way, it doesn't matter half a fuck to me if they ripped anyone off, they made the most ergonomic controller I've ever used on any platform.

i think ps3 takes the win over x-box, but if your really in to gaming you have to have both.

i used to have both, with a separate TV for each one, but they have since been sold and i mostly play PC games now...

planning on re-purchasing another ps3 soon though.

ps3 is winning because it has more, and better exclusives, its better built, plays blurays, free multiplayer, doesn't sound like a tornado, can change the hard drive on it, i think its fairly obvious:shrug:

It couldn't be the built-in WiFi, the BluRay player, the easily upgradable hard drive to give yourself as much space as you want, the easy syncing of controllers, the ability to use a common BlueTooth headset to trash talk, or the inclusion of an HDMI port from day 1, could it?

Sony delivers. Micro$oft doesn't

It couldn't be the built-in WiFi, the BluRay player, the easily upgradable hard drive to give yourself as much space as you want, the easy syncing of controllers, the ability to use a common BlueTooth headset to trash talk, or the inclusion of an HDMI port from day 1, could it?

PS3 is a multi-faceted entertainment machine.  Xbox is a gaming system.

PS3 is a lot more diffucult for developers to program for, when making multi-format games. Most multi-format games are made using PC/360 hardware, then ported to work in PS3, which is why games aren't as good on PS3 as they are on PC or 360. Obviously, PS3-only games aren't affected. But in real-world terms, the two systems are about equal in capability.

And PS3 does not have better exclusive games. Final Fantasy isn't even exclusive. Pretty sure the new Metal Gear Solid is going to be available for 360, I think it was even initially announced to be 360-exclusive. PS3 pretty much only has Killzone, in terms of good exclusive games, AFAIK. 360 has Halo (not really a fan), Fable, Gears, Mass Effect (a long while before PS3). Plus, 360 very often has DLC released far earlier than any system. PS3 has a much greater amount of hackers. PS3's controller is much worse than the 360's. PS3 has bluray, but who cares? The 360 has a better community, IMO.

360 wins, in a nutshell.

The Halo games are basically the only video games I like; I've read like 4 of the Halo novels, I just really dig the entire concept. :shrug:


Most other games are kinda gay IMO. :stoned:

Oh, and I don't need an argument to defend my opinion. :lol:

I enjoyed them a lot; if you don't enjoy the whole story-line, then you probably wouldn't be able to get into them. Sci-fi is my favorite genre of novels, I love fantasy stuff like Halo.

One of my favorite books is Martian Chronicles. :aliendance:

360 wins, in a nutshell.




usually the multiplats are only "slightly" better on the 360 and were talking needing to have side by side screenshots to notice.  There are a 'few' that were cripples.

MGS4
killzone 1-2-3
resistance 1-2
uncharted 1-2
LBP 1-2
folklore
3d dot heros
demon souls
God of war 3
GT5
heavenly sword
Heavy rain
infamous
MAG
Valkyria Chronicles
warhawk
rachet and clank series


now for the soon to be released
dark souls
resistance 3
TWISTED METAL
uncharted 3
final fantasy versus
infamous 2


almost all of the games i listed are "epic" the only ones that are iffy would be folklore, GT5, MAG, and purhaps warhawk since its aged so much

the xbox360 has about 4 exclusives worth a dam and fable 3 was a joke so thats only a partial series

Well, the only reason I would buy a PS3 (If I could afford it) is because, the network is free and the ability to use a bluetooth headset.
But I did, buy an Xbox, because I bought the original Xbox when it came out. I was like 8 or 9? And, I loved the harddrive space on it. It was far more advanced than the Playstation.
But the 360 came out, took me about 3 years of wanting to buy a 360, actually my girl got it for me for Christmas. Then they come out with a new 360 with a built in harddrive and Wifi 1 year later ! :awewtf:
But, I have to say, the reason I'm an Xbox guy, is because of the games, and the controllers. I love the games that Xbox has to offer, and the way the controllers are, as previously stated.

:awehigh:

I had both systems for years.  I sold my PS3.  It was too big, too loud, and the controllers are uncomfortable. 

It has some good games but the online community is 1000X better on Xbox (and worth the 50 {30 if you catch it on sale} bucks a year).

The way I see it all the things that made the PS3 awesome at release (backwards compatibility, linux, ect...) have been taken away by Sony.  The only reason to buy a PS3 now is if you really want to play one of the exclusives (most of them don't interest me really).

In other words Xbox is much more fun, in the time I had both systems I pretty much just played blu-rays with my PS3 since every game I wanted was already on Xbox.

Final Fantasy has sucked since FFIX (the last good one) anyway so who cares if it's on PS3 exclusively.

I hated PS1 + PS2 but loved Xbox (though not as much as gamecube:heart:). This gen it's been all about the PS3 for me tho. I think coz I'm more into my (J)RPGs and PS3 seems to have a better selection.

Did anyone else read that story saying no new xbox till I think 2015? I figured it'd still be a couple of years yet but I didn't think it'd be that long till the next refresh.

No way man

Ps1 was the fucking shit.

n64 is definitely badass, but ps1 has it beat I think.

What's with all these xbox people saying the ps3 controller is uncomfortable? Ps3 controller is designed really well, I think.

Xbox controllers are so bad. I hate them. Bulky and arranged badly.

To me, the PS3 pad is too small compared to the 360's. But yeah, PS1 was awesome. Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot mo'fuckers!

What hackers? The PS3 has been out for 5 years and only within the last year has it been hacked. The Xbox 360 was probably hacked as someone was walking out of BestBuy on Day 1.

And the controller???

We have a PS3 and I love it.

I actually wanted an XBOX when we got it, 'cause my lil' brother has one and I thought it'd be cool to play online with him back home.

But my GF really wanted a PS3, and she games way more than I do, so we got it.

I really love it though.  I love playing online, I love the classic controller, I love the game selection, I love our new Move.

Everything about is really top-notch.

I can't recommend it more.

have both, though seldom use either... 360 has geometry wars 2, which might just be the best game ever... also, i'm not sure if comcast throttles the PSN or its network is just incredibly bogged down, but shit d/ls a million times faster on Xbox Live..  other than that, the PS3 straight up has better hardware, if i was buying a game without comparing 360/PS3 reviews, i'd probably go with the ps3 version, expecting it to have shorter load times and smoother, better looking gameplay...  and for what it's worth, the ps3 is significantly less noisy than the 360...

anyways, don't really have a major preference... they are what they are.... if you're into online gaming, would pretty much just recommend going with the system your friends own.

Trust me... Download the demo for Pac-Man Championship Edition DX. Make sure you get Pac-Man Championship Edition DX and not Pac-Man Championship Edition. Though it's a great game by itself, DX is it x:awecid:

In fact, everyone who is reading this is required to download the demo for Pac-Man Championship Edition DX. It's on both systems. You'll thank me later.

Okay the Uncharted games are super legit, xbox has gears of war and halo (i can't wait for gears 3!! fuckkk). Killzone is pretty quality, hopefully final fantasy 13 versus is going to be sick. I love both systems...although the PS3 is DEFINITELY quieter. I have a slim ps3 and an original 360 so that could be why, the new xboxs are wayyy quieter than the first gen.

PS3 has free online which means I don't have to pay for xbox live AND netflix to watch my shows...
Also, even though the community isn't as good...call of duty is still fun on the PS3.

really though I play my ps3 10x more than my xbox...just has a better interface imo. I like how you can have custom backgrounds on the ps3, and not to mention playing all my favorite ps1 and ps2 games...

Where's the Wii option also?! I have a wii and really all I use it for is Super Smash Bros Brawl but that's enough reason for me to own the system.

Playstation controllers make my hands cramp after playing for too long; the only thing I like about them is the rubber on the control sticks.

I thought it was pretty obvious he was saying the Playstation controller hasn't needed a changed since the PSX days

but truthfully even though they are ugly as hell Nintendo makes the best controllers
Xbox controllers are just too big and bulky and has funny placed buttons (I can't use the black and white buttons and why is the d-pad down there?)
I've got no problems with the PS controllers but I wouldn't complain if they smoothed and rounded them out

According to many people in this thread, it sucks ass, and definitely could use a change. I think it's possible that they didn't want to change it too much in order to remain consistent, rather than because they believe that it doesn't need any improvement.

I like the Xbox 360 controller, it doesn't really feel bulky to me, and my hands aren't even that big at all. :shrug:

They have been changed to the left and right bumpers, which are just in front of the triggers. The same as L1 and R1 on the ps, or what ever theyre called

Exactly. All they've done is added more triggers, 2 joy sticks, and rumble feature. but the shape of it has never needed a redesign

I don't know that I find the term "Console ports" accurate anymore. of course a game is a game, and PC runs it better and allows for use of a gamepad and sometimes both at the same time. so i just use a custom PC i built myself.

PC as an overall Media device attached to a TV is way better than a console.

I recently was faced with this decision. I have owned two 360's in the past and both have red ringed slightly after the warranty was up so that was lame. So, this time I went with the ps3 slim mainly just in hopes that the lifespan would be longer.

Things I miss about the Xbox: The controller (although I am slowly getting used to the PS controller), Halo, Ipod compatibility (you have to get into the Ipod's directory on PS whereas Xbox is just plug and play), and Xbox's online setup and community was slightly better.

PS pros IMO: Free online gaming, Blu-ray, I am told by the fanboys PS3 has more power potential, the machine doesn't make nearly as much noise and is more aesthetically pleasing.

Console ports isn't appropriate because when a game is designed, they code it once usually with something like OpenGL thats cross platform. Computer versions if games just take a little longer to come out sometimes because the hardware in 1 Xbox 360 as it is in another. Same with the PS3. 1 computer rarely has the exact same hardware configuration as another. Some they have to test it and make minimum requirements and such.

No. Coding something once to run on multiple systems is just good coding. Taking a game that already exists and having to rework it for another system is porting it.

no what you described is porting, designing a game specifically for each system is what they "used" to do.

Edit: P.S. and i know what your "trying" to say, your describing crysis 2, and by the way that is the biggest fail, most disappointing game in pc history, because its a port.

It's alot easier to softmod a ps3 in my opinion. you copy a couple files to a flash drive and it takes about 20 minutes of your time if that.

Gonna have to disagree with you.  Here's an example of a port, Dragon Age 2 for Mac -  the game was designed for Windows, and uses Cider (a wrapper) that allows the game to run natively on os x without any changes in source code.  Observe the DragonAge2.exe file within the .app's package contents.

unless the game was designed from the ground up with the system in mind its a port, thats why all the pc games have been shit ever since this generation of consoles.

the closest game that comes to what you guys are saying is crysis 2 and the entire web is breaking down cryteks doors saying its a port, so obviously you guys are wrong.

No, when an application is designed to run on just one platform, and is converted to run on a different platform, this is porting.  More video games today are being developed using software that can output code for PCs as well as well as multiple consoles without the need for actual porting.

thats just a new fancy way to port, and is exactly what i just said about crysis 2, and people are breaking down cryteks doors.  The game is being fucked up by consoles because its being designed for them.  it doesn't matter what program is used to make the game, its being made for the consoles, and ported to the pc, just because it does it in realtime now doesn't mean shit.

if you actually believe a word your saying then please explain why crysis 2 sucks...oh thats right because its a port!

you can argue your semantics all you like, fact is consoles are still fucking over pc versions period.  crysis 2 is a perfect example of how what you just said is a crock of shit.

-The slim 360 is sex on a stick, absolves previous hardware fail. I concede that Microsoft is a greedy doom-corporation that used under-handed approaches to troubleshooting their system, Sony has had their share of inexcusably embarrassing hardware failures also.

-Microsoft actually seems to have some idea of ergodynamics. With Sony I am forced to play with a controller that is fairly poorly fitted to my hands. After market options are disappointing.

-While the sony move and sixaxis controllers feel like cheap done-before gimmicks, (a gyro too cheap on a controller too awkward, and the old motion-tracking tricks that just don't quite cut it) the Microsoft "kinect" genuinely plastered a smile on my face, if for a few hundred more than it was actually worth. Fighting over the controller reaches new comedy heights with Kinect's hand-waving sillyness.

-As much as I hate to P2P models for video game servers, Microsoft delivers a versatile and reliable online gaming experience, if often riddled by micspammers to be muted at least they are talking. The PS3's online environment is quiet and seems stagnant every time I get to play.

I really wanted to love the PS3, and after having 3 360's fail (chain of refurbs), you'd think I would have given up on Microsoft, but their attempt at "proprietary gaming" seems more well-rounded than the competition's, and what would you expect from a company more directly related to the software industry in general. Still, neither can keep up with my mid-range core2duo rig for multi-purpose power and customization. For just a few hundred dollars more a budget PC or a handsome upgrade still obliterates console performance and allows access to a much more varied and colorful catalog of indie game and budget game software. PC gaming and the indie game environment is a blooming industry with lots of digital download startups, and STEAM alone is a testament to the fact that PC gamers aren't going anywhere whether you console-exclusive types like it or not. We'll continue to enjoy our UI-overload games that no controller could navigate, twitch-accuracy FPS's with no auto-aim scheezery, and strategy micromanagement games. You enjoy your split-screen, couch-appropriate gamery and remember that even though each system will have it's ups and downs none of them is going to go extinct completely just because your panties are wet for some specific mega-corporation.

Look at Minecraft. Minecraft doesn't happen on a closed-system proprietary development platform. Too risky to invest in such tomfoolery. But not on a PC, and not if it can start as your hobby.

If this is "dying", I'll be a zombie any day.

Current Peak          Game

12,991 77,368 Counter-Strike: Source
11,603 23,936 Sid Meier's Civilization V
11,518 79,807 Counter-Strike
10,477 20,830 Team Fortress 2
10,290 29,978 Total War SHOGUN 2
8,700 38,882 Call of Duty Black Ops - Multiplayer

6,954 11,413 RIFT
5,265 40,545 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Multiplayer
4,396 8,601 Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Between 1.7 and 3.5 mil users a day on one service. That probably rivals PS3, Wii, & 360 numbers combined. I love how console-exclusive gamers just think PC gaming is dead or dying because they aren't in that group to see that it's clearly false. It's like missing out on a sick house party because you wouldn't knock on the door.

after reading all of makaveli8x8's posts, it seems to me like he doesn't have a computer that handles games. Sounds like he's got a GateWay or something.

A console is a gaming computer. It just has the exact same hardware as every other other console of it's type, so it's universally easier to program for. With a computer, you can either be less than a console, rival a console, or blow it out of the water. It just depends on if you know what you're doing.

Consoles are easier for people who just like to button mash anyways.

Maybe if you read other peoples posts instead of just thinking about what you're gonna post next. he clearly is talking about how many people play those games per day, not how many units have been sold.

Also:

http://www.qj.net/qjnet/news/no-port-in-crysis-2-thanks-to-cryengine-3.html
And it does sound like it's a little piece of heaven for developers everywhere. Imagine having both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions running in-sync with the PC version in three monitors -- that's what this tech does. And no downtime, too.

Simply put, "there is no port" for the game. CryEngine 3 is distributed equally across all three versions, and the game purely exists as multiformat.





This is a port:

Somebody took the PC demo that was released, reworked it, and made it where it could run on Macs. That's a port. Developing a single multiformat game is not.

right because there's clearly no corrlation between the number of "games" sold and the number of people playing them on each system based on that data.

and im sure my rig has more power than yours, i mean since you think i don't know what im talking about you must fully believe crysis 2 wasn't affected by consoles which would indicate your own lack of knowledge playing pc games.

your suggesting that recent games havn't been affected by consoles, because technology has advanced to the point where they can write up a wiki article to confuse the issue and make you think your getting a real pc game designed just for you.

you've ducked the crysis 2 issue every single time, obviously you know the game was affected.  People have called pc games getting fucked over by consoles ports since the beginning of time, nothings changed, its still happening, a definition gets tweeked and your playing semantics and buying all the crytek hype.

see, again. Where did I say recent games haven't been affected by consoles?

I'm saying that consoles all have the same hardware. I could be sitting next to someone with a Dell e1705 and if I looked inside his computer it would be entirely different. The difference between an Xbox 360 Arcade, an Xbox 360, the Xbox 360 Elite, is negligible, mainly just the harddrive and the heatsinks in the Elite. So it's easier programming for that instead of having to account for the variety of computers and make a fairly balanced game for people with GateWays and for people with gaming systems.

Also, console sales don't reflect game sales. I have a PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, and PC. I OWN less than 20 games for all the systems together because I'm don't BUY every new game that comes out. Renting is the shit, and most games today don't have replay value. According to the CIA World Factbook there are an estimated as of 2005 there were 1,018,057,389 internet users worldwide. So clearly computers with internet connections all must run  games right????

The air force bought a bunch of PS3s to use for things other than games. IT HAS AN 8 CORE PROCESSOR.

An please, don't give me the Wikipedia argument. You're not a college professor grading a paper. You know just as well as anyone else that Wikipedia is moderated and checked for correctness and usually fixed very quickly. It's amazing what technology can do.

thats just it you havn't said anything about it so obviously...your just playing semantics to try and win an arguement rather than the points that revolve around logic rather than wikipedia.

i really don't see why anyone cares whats inside xbox's, we all know there the same....im not following your point at all whats this have to do with anything?  you just state it, make no point, then move onto another subject?

and i never listed "console" sales i list "game" sales.

again subject change...who gives a rats ass about how many cores the ps3 has??? seriously whats going on here :confused:

An please, don't give me the Wikipedia argument. You're not a college professor grading a paper. You know just as well as anyone else that Wikipedia is moderated and checked for correctness and usually fixed very quickly. It's amazing what technology can do.




I'm not saying that Consoles are less prevalent than PC gaming. I'm just trying to say PCs are better than consoles overall, and porting is different than coding something originally to run on the different game systems.

well here's what my point was, consoles fuck pc's over, been happening forever, its still happening, based on this, to me, ports are still happening, they can change software all they want, but when i play the game i see the same stupid shit.  if i change the word port, it looses its meaning, the quick and clean meaning that multiplats are designed for all systems which universally everyone reconizes, "pc gets screwed by console".  Now people can define this word however they want, but they left out how most people have been using it for YEARS, the only people using it by its true meaning are software devs.  You go surf the major gaming boards and EVERYONE is screaming PORT, there's a reason, nobody cares about the definition someone put on wiki, nobody cares how crytek built software that didn't change anything for pc gamers, theres the written meaning, and the used meaning.

and spreading your meaning of the word, only helps crytek push there PR, thats all this is about.

so, my point is the pc is getting screwed, been getting screwed, and continues to get screwed, pc gaming is down, and has been going down for a long long while.

The whole reason games got brought up was because i was talking about "ports", the guy specifically listed all his pc exclusives which are all from a decade ago, thats why i said "so you havn't played any recent games on pc", because of course there's not going to be any multiplates (ports)unless he had.

thats when the subject got changed...to sales, and not by me.  but i decided to play along when he posted this

Quote:

Between 1.7 and 3.5 mil users a day on one service. That probably rivals PS3, Wii, & 360 numbers combined.




and thats when i proved him wrong by posting blackops sold 8 million on the ps3 and xbox360...1 game that DWARFED his  1.7 to 3.5 mil, doesn't take much to figuer out he's wrong...it is mostly a MP game for that extra wow thats a point factor.

the whole reason im explaing all this is because i still don't know why were talking about console sales...and i really don't know why your all over this notty word "ports" and you call yourself a pc gamer, if its not a pc exclusive its been fucked over by consoles, keep pushing the word port because there's no reason to change it just for crytek, nothings changed.  all you have to ask yourself is are your multiplats still sucking on pc? YES.

and i never disagreed, i think pc's are superior, im just saying there being fucked over, there's less and less good games, they are turning us into consoles, im defending pc gaming, thats why im talking about all these ports n crap because im sick of it and people are just drinking all the crytek coolaid

I like that you say the meaning of the word Port has changed, and trying to use it like it is supposed to be used is wrong. Then you go to say there's no reason to change it for crytek? What, you mean use it like it's supposed to be used?

I also like that you're saying the cries of a bunch of random internet people screaming PORT is a valid way to change the meaning of a word, yet you whine about how wikipedia can be easily modified to be wrong because of technology.

Porting means what it means. And yes, I am a programmer.

This conversation was cool for awhile, not it's just bogged down in minutiae and bullshit.

Some people like the PS3, some people like the XBOX, and some people like the PC.

Each is superior to the others, to certain people, for certain reasons.

But all of this bullshit fanboy-ism is kinda lame, don't ya think?

words and definitions change all the time, slang ect, it happens.  Incase you didn't know, but im sure you do since your a "programmer", "crytek" make all this niffy crossplatform at the same time crap or at least there the first ones to make such a big stunt out of it, which doesn't surprize me that now is when people try to challenge people on the word port.

i clearly stated what i meant about the word port, its been used for a long time, ive followed the game, everyone else has to, your the FIRST person thats ever brought this up, and it just so happens to be right when crytek releases crysis 2...no thats not a church bell ringing.

im saying yes it is a valid way to say the word, since yes thats how people have been saying it for years.  Your talking about technology that was created, changing a definition, no it just adds to it.  People have been using the word port for years, and ive already stated what that meaning is.  Thats how it was used.  and new tech doesn't change that, everyone still sees the same shit, you admitted it yourself.  whats changed? nothing and thats why people are still using the word and will continue to, and your not going to change that, crysis 2...is...a...port.

its the elitist crap thats lame, i call it a port, someone says no its not a port, then challenges the definition, while admitting nothing has changed about the game, its straight retarded.  whats the point in saying its not a port, when everything about the game screams port, it just makes sense, to call it a port, but i have to admit its just as retarded to talk about it for this long

Non-Gaming-Nerd Definitive Definition :

Port : A Game Developed For One Gaming System Exclusively, Then Later Released For Another Such System With Minimal Changes In Gameplay.

There.

End Of Argument.

right and instead of porting it, they created a niffty little program that ports it in realtime, and per your very own definition there's "very little differences" between the platforms, thats why crysis 2 sucks, because it was ported, thats why all the levels are small, thats why the beta asked you to "press start" thats why it only has 3 graphics settings, thats why crysis 1 looks better than crysis 2, thats why it only uses DX9 instead of DX11...because consoles only have DX9, thats why most tree's don't snap like in crysis 1, because its a port.  they designed it around the bottom end limitations of the consoles and ported it in realtime to pc and the higher spec console, and now we have people trying to fight over the word port i wonder why

not even really sure what you're trying to say here. I just so happen to bring it up when I saw this thread, which just so happened to be posted right when crytek releases crysis 2. my only interaction with Crysis 2 has been been downloading the demo on my PS3 and trying to play it but not being able to connect to the servers so I just quit played the demo for the Unreal Mortal Kombat on my PS3.

Yeah, you hear about the Unreal 3 engine all the time too.

Porting != Multiplatform

Basically; give a fuck, Crysis 2 is amazing on 360. Although I never played Crysis 1, it's better than the other FPS's around - eg COD, MOH etc (in terms of singleplayer)
