i enjoy quite a few mate on and off like Infamous Second Son and i have been having a ball with Killzone Shadow Fall,but for every decent game there are 10 Turkeys.

Should have Mario Kart 8 today as that was sent yesterday,didn't need this game really as Watchdogs is what I'm loving playing.

the pc version might be the reason for the embargo. seems a mess.

watchdog could be a ps4 system seller given ps3 version has less immersion and the pc version is a trainwreck.

I know the PC version is having problems with certain Graphic Cards and drivers but they are not that bothered as only a few individuals such as Toady are still playing with PCs wink......

Wait for Mr Toady reply with bated breath .....crazy

They really should make the PC the lead development system, but as usual, they go for the cheap option...

Steam Box actually interests me,what doesn't is giving umpteen manufacturers to make it,think the last count was something like 14.

And some of these systems where around £1000 ...crazy

.

Well PC gamers must be buying them totally online then as retail game shops have all but given up on the PC Market apart from the AAA games.

Seems to be pretty much only one high street seller at the mo. Game. I'm sure they survive because little Johnny gets his mum to buy him a game because he's been such a good boy today.
I only ever use them for bargain bin games smile

Clearly they didnt see it much as a priority, in my mind if not prepared to put proper resources into a platform then dont release on that platform, they probably spent more on marketing than the pc development.

What I feared may be coming true also, when the PS4 was announced with its 8gig video memory, that was a new thing for the industry, and the first thing that entered my mind was this will make developers lazy. One reason developers love upgraded hardware is it makes their job easier, no need to optimise your software so it runs well with less resources. The issues with PC seem to at least partially stem from over utilisation of video memory, the game seems unoptimised.

I also seen comparisons of ps4 vs xbox one, as I said before the resolution diff isnt noticeable, however the xbox one has had other changes like shadow quality been reduced, less lighting effects and has tearing issues, those are noticeable.

correct, was same with dark souls 2. Dev's at E3 lied out their backside claiming pc is the dev platform.

Then turns out PC is a xbox 360 port. Even shows xbox360 controls in its dialogs.

Clearly they just doing whats cheap, dev for one platform only and then rest get ports. However at least dark souls 2 runs ok on a pc, it runs brilliant in fact, whilst watchdog seems a trainwreck, bringing titan's to their knees.
