Probably put up one of these road signs...
It's been out since september but only recently available on PC.
Lets be honest, so is comparing GT5 with CSS.
You won't enjoy Dirt 2 if this is the case. So if GT5 is not as realistic looking as Counterstrike Source, which I think is laughable by the way, where does that put Forza 3 or LFS? Below CS1.6?
Shadowww grow up. There's no way you can be this stupid naturally, although I'm sure you could surprise me. There are some screenshots that are better than others that show graphical strengths and weaknesses. For example the screenshot of GT5 is from the interior view of the car. I could have used a screenshot from an external view which may have been better than the one I have used. It's not hard to grasp.
Probably not, I didn't look through all the CSS pics on google. I could have picked a better GT5 pic aswell. All I was doing was proving my point.
Those aren't the lowest graphic settings you tool. It's unwise to call other people a kid, Shadowww. You're not exactly one of the more mature forum members are you? I have had CSS pretty much since it was released, I know perfectly well what it looks like. I love the game but it's not a patch on what GT5 looks like. Saying it looks better graphically is just silly.
I don't understand why you're having such a tantrum to be honest. I have said so many times that I know PC gfx will always have the edge, however to say that CSS looks better than GT5, that's really clutching at straws to try and prove a point that doesn't even need proving to me.
It still looks better than CSS, that's all I needed to prove!!
Point taken. It's just that they do not look that radically different from my point of view. The game is still the same, it's just taken longer to come out on PC so a lot of people already know what it is like and have probably completed it. I always agreed that PC games looked the better, it's just that I don't think it's that much to say consoles are pointless. I don't understand why Shadowww tries to argue. He isn't going to make me throw my PS3 away. I have both and enjoy using both. Consoles are very practical to a lot of people, especially those that cannot afford to buy a high-end gaming rig or afford to pay for the latest components every month or 2.
It is a shame that codies insist on making their games arcade-ish, however I thought Dirt 2 was excellent despite it being quite unrealistic. Atleast the car handling is fun and not ridiculous like it was in the original Dirt. I still play it sometimes. Completed singleplayer, but online rallies are great fun!
Plenty of people have purchased LFS...

So you're saying that console games look like tetris compared to PC games? PC games do look better but the difference at the moment isn't that huge. Especially looking at the game we are supposed to be talking about in this thread. The point I was making in the first place was that this game will probably be just the same as it has been on the console for the last few months only with a higher possible resolution. I can't see how this makes the console version rubbish just because isn't capable of dx11. 
If they used amazingly better textures or something in the PC version then I could understand but it all looks the same to me.

Sure PC games will always look the best. I would never disagree with that. Dirt2 will look better on the PC because you can have higher resolutions and better Anti-Aliasing. They still look similar though, and Dirt2 for the PC seems to be the same game that we have been playing on consoles now for a couple of months already. Hopefully it has something extra. If you want to compare irrelevant screenshots, then I shall join in.
What is your point?
What is your point?
:dunce: You're not very bright are you?
Youtube works fine on my PS3. I used to go on it quite often when I didn't have access to my PC. BBC iplayer also works very well and is now implemented into the main menu of the PS3. Quit talking from your backside. They are not the whole internet, yes I am aware of that, thank you, although I do not know what your point is here. I am proving my point that consoles can now do more than just play games and DVDs.
My eyesight is fine thanks. I was referring to TurboBlaster, using a quote from one of your posts as an example.
Nothing on there for the same price as a console now that will run Dirt2 maxed out.
There is an internet browser, amongst other things. I was making the point that you can do more than just play games and watch DVD on a console nowadays. Why would I need flash anyway? Youtube works, facebook works... I can post on here from my console too if I wanted :rolleyes: I use my PC for this kind of stuff, but it's still achievable now on a console. What point are you trying to make?
No you didn't, hence why I wasn't referring to you.
:doh:
I am not the one trying to compare the two in the first place, if you actually read through the page you would see the point I was trying to make. Also you can do more than play games and watch DVDs on consoles now, but that's not the point that I am trying to make.
This isn't comparing?
:doh:
PCs can overheat. You can use a PS3 or 360 for things other than gaming. Buying a decent monitor for a PC is expensive too. You don't need a 40" TV for it to look good. I use my PC monitor with my PS3 aswell. You don't have to upgrade your hardware every few weeks to keep a console up to date either.
I am not trying to promote the idea to you for buying a console. I am making the point that just because you don't like the idea, there are others that do, and for a lot of people they are more practical and they enjoy it a lot. I don't understand how you can say that having a high end gaming rig is cheaper than buying a console. Like I said before, I prefer my PC to my PS3, but I still use my PS3 plenty and it keeps me very entertained for a much lower price than what I would be paying for a new up-to-date gaming rig every few years.
P.s. You can get a new PS3 slim for £220. Where can you buy a PC with all new components that runs Dirt2 maxed for £220? Hook me up.
But it's not as if the console versions look that much worse. They still look excellent. My point was against Shadowww and his bullshitting over owning a console. They are easy to use and keep people entertained. They are much cheaper than paying another 300 quid every month just to keep a PC up to date with the latest hardware. Also I'm not convinced that the difference is that huge at the moment. I don't know of a PC racing game/sim that tops GT5 in looks. PCs will always have the lead eventually though, never disputing that. I just don't see the big problem in having a console aswell. There are advantages and drawbacks as with everything, but for many they are still a very worthwhile purchase, whether it be a 360 or a PS3. Don't get me wrong, I am on my PC for the majority of my gaming time, but I really enjoy having a blast on my PS3. The gaming is quick and easy to get into, no mucking about. Just pick up and play!
It's not as if DX11 is going to make Dirt2 look much better than it does on the console versions. It's the same game. Only difference is, most of us have been playing it for months already while you have had to wait because of the thrills you get over having the latest dx version, which will have little to no difference over this game anyway.
