Oh I get it! Macs are consoles!
No seriously, you guys should look into the Ibogaine treatment.
Okay okay let’s just make everything you said redundant.
Of course there isn’t on yet, it hasn’t passed enough time.
Okay, your point?
There is a difference between developing a game for the PS3 and something that emulates a PS3, as soon as we get blu-ray drives as mainstream PC parts it won’t be long.
There is a successful Xbox emulator, microsoft only sells it to game publishers so they can let developers use it to write games.
Even console games are made on PC’s.
9 years is a pretty long time if you ask me (for an original XBox emulator.)
But PS3 games rely on the system’s confusing technology. I’m no computer expert, but I’d say it would be pretty hard for someone to run PS3 games on the PC without them sucking hard to an unplayable level (ie missing textures, buggy as hell, framerate issues etc.)
So?
Would you feel stupid using a computer that was purposely crippled so that not only it can’t run a proper operating system, it can only run code signed by the manufacturer. Well that’s what consoles are.
And macs.
I love how much consoles are trying to turn into PCs and vice versa, it makes this whole argument irrelevant.
In macs only at boot time. There are like no good bootloaders for the mac.
In what way are PCs trying to be consoles? Are they suddenly releasing keyboard controllers so that you can hold a keyboard and mouse in two hands?
Ummm… yes. You just don’t see it often since PC’s accessories aren’t forced upon you as much due to the lack of a first party developer.
There are at least 50 times more accessories(jopysticks, gamepads, steering wheels, fake guitars, fake drums, ddr dance pads, 3d motion detecting suits, etc) for the PC than for every console combined.
Joysticks alone would number in the thousands.
There is no definite list but I would guess there are at least a thousand different models from the top manufacturers alone, not counting the chinese knockoffs that are in the thousands as well.
amilate?
I think so, but it is relevant, I don’t ever customise or build my own pcs. And how can you customise that bike? You could customise both of those things.
Then you are no better than a macfag. this probably also means you payed way more than you needed to for a computer that is not better than average. You probably use vista home too.
Like I said, the reason macs are so well received is because most people are idiots and don’t understand computers.
Yep. They latch on to the Macs, eager to feel a sense of, “I know what I’m doing.” :retard:
Yeah, there are not many extra features, just double cost for ultimate. Also, I got my pc quite cheap, the RRP was £300 and it was almost half price.
So says the bigoted, supremist trying to pass his own bias off as fact.
You have absolutely no idea about the why people buy Macs, other than you yourself would not buy one because you believe you have seen through Steve Jobs’ deceit and realised that the one true God in the world exists in Windows 7 source code.
I am neither an idiot, nor someone who does not understand computers, and yet I bought a Macbook Pro. Why? Well, according to you, its because I’ve been blinded from the light of Microsoft by the Devil himself who has tainted by view with promises of ‘snazzy looks’ and ‘no viruses’, even though neither a true (according to you, anyway). Fundamentally, because ‘everyone has a Mac’, I want one, because of my deep longing to belong.
I bought a Mac because, after years of battling with Windows, I decided to try something different. Windows 7 surpassed my expectations, sure, but that didn’t change the fact that my experience with Vista had been horrid, and I had heard extremely positive things from numerous Mac users. After pricing various laptops, trialing a few Macs and deciding that the 13" was the way to go, I took the plunge. And I’ve never regretted it. Why? Because it is, actually, better on a number of levels. I’ve gone through all those levels before, but you never acknowledge any of them.
And that’s why, as someone commented before, “you’re no better than the average macfag”. Rather than even recognising some of my arguments are even remotely true, you dismiss them all as trollop, instead proposing that your own arguments are absolutely true, with no room for error. And no matter how misguided I might be in my views on Microsoft, that simply cannot be the case.
And now back to the topic.
Firstly, my comments about PCs not trying to emulate consoles was largely aimed at the fact that all the extra joysticks and gamepads and whatever are never aimed at replacing the keyboard and mouse. The keyboard/mouse combo has remained the true stable of PCs, and will always do so. Hence, while they expand their capabilities through peripherals, their core remains fundamentally unique. Consoles do exactly the same thing, with DDR dance pads and driving wheels, so the point is moot; they’re not trying to be like each other, they’re just trying to be more.
Yeahhhhhh, no. If you understood the first thing about emulation (which I don’t really, but still), you’d know that the whole process relies on documentation. No documentation means no emulator. More than that, emulation relies on brute force processing power to emulate the environment of another console. The PS2 emulator only just works flawlessly on current hardware. The only reason there’s a Wii emulator available is because the hardware is so close to the Gamecube that the documentation that existed previously for the GC can be used to code an emulator for the Wii, which is already showing great success.
The original PS2 shipped with a 300Mhz processor. That means that in order to fully emulate it, you need a processor that is somewhere around the order of a 2.80Ghz Dual Core processor, which is about 20 times faster than the original PS2. Now, the PS3 ships with…well…something around the order of 3Ghz (I thought it had a ridiculous number of cores?). So, unless you’ve got a 60Ghz processor lying around, I don’t see that happening any time soon.
