Oblivion: Xbox 360 vs. PC

Feb 27th 2006 9:37PM (Joystiq)
I have have been playing pc games ever since i sold my commadore 64 and i must say, they are a GREAT platform. However, iv also owned ps1,ps2,dreamcast,xbox, and now the 360. I may be stating the obvious here but you CANNOT judge the capabilities of a console whilst looking at nothing more than a conversion. The 360 version will run/look identical to oblivian thats running on a high end pc. Fine, we know that. Loyal pc owners will embrace this as evidence that the 360 is no better than there beloved pc. In reality, oblivian was designed and built around the pc. This is a fact. The game has been in development for over 3 years for the pc, where as game devlopers have not yet had the 360's final hardware a year. its nothing more than a quick port, as they know full well that any console game that looks as good as the pc version is an improvement from any pc to console conversion in the past. if they would have spent that 3 years making this game for the 360 from the day they had the final hardware, the difference between the 360 and pc would be undeniable. Point is, the potential of 360 will not be unleashed for a good while, but when it does, pc fans might just have more respect for consoles, regardless of what graphics card thay have. Unfortunatly it will not be oblivian prooving this point.
