I'm too busy being a PC gamer.
Don't expect me to log in to PSN 'till hell freezes over.

PC gamer is better than console gamer, don't like to play in a sofa (too relax), i mean, i like to be focused when i play a game, that's why i prefer PC

PD( I know that you can put a chair in front of a TV and it will be similar to playing like in a PC but consoles have less resolution)

actually, a consoles resolution is higher, well in the case of the PS3 anyway, it can produce a better picture then what you can on a computer, you under estimate the power of the console, again the PS3

Can you mod games? No.
Can you play at 1900 X 1200? No.
Can you change the GPU and CPU and get more RAM? No.
Is a controller better than a keyboard/mouse? f**k no.
Plus the PS3's specs are f***ing hilarious. 256MB VRAM and system RAM and a 5-6 year old GPU and CPU(which isn't even a dual core for Christ's sake).

your information is flawed. and you can play at any resolution, as long as the TV allows it. because if your wondering, my tv can do 1900x1200, and with a HD output over simple DVI it woops the computers arse in the respect. you can actually mod some PS3 games, also modding isn't everything. and a ps3 or xbox controller is better for driving games, where as a keyboard is not, each have there flaws. and if you paid f***ing attention, i just said a ps3 can produce a high resolution, and you under estimate it, i did not say it was better then a computer. SO PLEASE stop acting like the person who is right about everything, you are becoming what chris was.

Man, i hate joysticks, it really sucks to play Driv3r with a joystick, with a keyboard it's easier, i like driving with the key arrows and shoot with the mouse, it's very difficult to aim with a joystick, as for driving you can also drive with an steering wheel in most games.

Keyboard/mouse are better for FPSs, TPSs, RTSs, RPGs, while a joystick is better for anything else.

I played Driver 2 on PS one, and then on the emulator. Then I played in Driv3r and PL on the PC keyboard and a joystick ... I can say that the management of the keyboard I like. I feel that the car is better driving on keyboards then joystick.
Gamepads are ideal for fighting, jRPG and platformers. Otherwise, I prefer keyboards. And PC.))

Normally this topic was about the announcement, that Driver: SF will Require Internet Connection, but it`s gone into PC vs. Consoles chat. So... I`ll write my own opinion on that problem, in a small article.

PC vs. Consoles? PC is the best one, of course.

PC`s keyboard and mouse are the best and cheapest combination, with no doubt for me, as a controllers. Why?
At first keyboard and mouse had longer life (I`m still using my very first keyboard (a bit yellowed now) and my second mouse (the first was of the another type, with a ball in it) and they`re still doing good work for me, and I still can play my favourite racing games without problem.
I`m having a lot of friends, which have another controllers for games (joypad, steering wheel, joysticks, etc.) and saying they`re horrible and easy-to-broke, especially for PC.
And this problem is still the same as the broken consoles they have and... memory card with bigger memory is very expensive for any PlayStation.

More tea, vicar?

The PlayStation website mentions that Driver SF runs on 720p.

Personally, I think PC is best when it comes to graphics & modifications. However, I don't have the money to buy gaming-spec machines or buy all the parts necessary to make my machine able to play the latest games, so I gotta go with console. Besides, I got enough older games that work fine on my machine, including Driver.

I think that You have never played game on the PSP console. I am still playing game on the PS3 and also on the computer. PS3 is indicates really very nice graphics and also interesting music. I want to only say that You will try to play some action game on the PSP. I am sure that You will enjoy much better than computer.

Yes, you can indeed mod console games, but it is not as intuitive as modding PC games.

Either way, buy the game for what it is, not what you can do with add-ons. I'm not saying I've never added something to a PC game (Mostly Crown Vics on GTA SA & on NFS HS) but that shouldn't be a factor in what platform to buy the game for. Just buy it for what it is & be happy with it.

For me it's a mixed bag. I have an old pc (about 9 years old) which runs fine for dos games (and some later ones untill 2002). For the rest of the games i like to use consoles.

I dont like the ps3 exclusives :p
Crackdown 1 is amazing and came from the same mind who made GTA2 :3
Halo series is kinda overrated though, but i enjoy ODST and Reach.
A miracle though that my 360 still lives without any problems what so ever.

Not to sound like an ass, but graphics never made an game, unless it's Crysis. I do agree on the mod community and framerate though.

Halo is amazing. Try playing the third one that one is the best. Also there is Forza, Motorheat, and gears of war. those are some of my favorite exclusives

:D

If the online lags, it's simply on your side. Since i seem to have no problem with the connection. ^^
And for the part where online was down for a period of time, blame hackers. And the exclusives suck? W/e, that's your opinino. But you totally shouldn't bash the online connection, cuz there's nothing wrong with it. :lol:

+1 internets for you, i so agree with, not to mention on the hardware site the ps3 is quite the powerhouse vs the xbox360. media capabilities are so friggen awesome, the controller doesn't matter, if you grew up on a ps controller the xbox one would fill bad to you and the other way around it the same
