ok when did the first final fantasy come out and what type of pcs did they have back then k nuff said
LOL the 1st FF games? Man even thoughs graphics could have played on a PC. Most of them were 16 Bit Bitmap as a static background with a few animated objects over the top, and that was at the FF7 stage on PS1.

You know nothing about the development process at all.

Games are created on development PC's. Developed and tested, with access to a Development version of the target consol.

The ONLY thing a consol has over a PC at any given time is that it has a set spec for developers to work for. PC games have to be flexible to allow for a variety of specs.

Consols are never more competant than a high end PC at any given time. They are cheeper.

Yep PC crushes all. Lets face it, the games for all of the above are CREATED on PC to begin with.

But this is a thread about Consols... games machines......

My PC rocks and I probably game more on it than my Xbox at present, but only because Im yet to get Xbox live, and I have more PC games than consol games (even after I binned my "coppied" games collection in a fit of consience)

These days to get a PC running Good games, you dont need to spend too much, but still MUCH more than just buying a consol. :( (my Xbox pack cost $400 australia... my PC? hmmm $2200 Australian including 19inch screen though. 1 GB Ram and a Geforce FX 128 MB 5600. YUM!!!)

The Xbox, really... is a PC that plugs into the TV and has game pads and 1 spec that developers can create for. Perfect!

LOL so it was MY thread that sparked this off. I just had to trace back to see where it all went wrong.

I think my key line in question is
"Yep PC crushes all. Lets face it, the games for all of the above are CREATED on PC to begin with."

So I said NOTHING about playing on PC at that stage OR anything about them being 1st released on PC. NOTHING AT ALL!!!!!

NOT A THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I said "CREATED" on PC. CREATED!!!!!

Anyway..........

Oh and when I said "All of the above" I meant all the mentioned consols as the thread was "what is the best CONSOL". Sorry if that was confusing for you ;)

So, who took the thread off topic. As my quote shows, while showing my appreciation for PC gaming, in responce to another post, I was pointing out that the topic in hand was CONSOLS and NOT PC's.

Yeah as soon as you crack that puppy open you just void the warranty. I did clean the cd lens a few times it worked fine. On the side note, the oldest models(which I have) of PS2s seem to break down. Or thats what least I heard from others. Standing the machine up vertically does the trick to at times. It couldn't read my Tribes disc, thats because the older models have a hard time reading the blue colored discs because they are lighter than the ordinary silver bottoms for some reason.
