A new hands-on was released by eurogamer.net. Besides the standard gameplay commentary, eurogamer had something interesting to say about the graphical differences between PC, PS3, and 360. Seems the versions aren't as "equal" as everyone has been saying they are.
Far Cry 2 2 is also a beautiful game, at least on PC. Clever shading based on layers not textures means the game can scale to your PC, and the powerful demonstration machine displayed a crisp, sun-drenched, coherent and detailed landscape; one both functional and flattering, given the decision to all but scrap a HUD. Requirements will be typically lower than bitter rival Crysis, we're told, but Far Cry 2 will happily get the most out of even the most monstrous rig. Redding describes the console versions as comparable to a "medium load-out on PC", and warns us that, "graphically you're going to notice slight differences". Which we did. The Xbox 360 was the better of the two with its anti-aliasing, but both looked unspectacular and even drab in points. Far from ugly, mind you."

It is obvious that PC has an advantage of High Processor and Power GPU support so it must have more fine and better Graphics than of consoles but calling it Worse on console not a way to portray it.

Well, it seems like eye candy is all that's important to the makers of such threads (PC gamers:D)

Yeah and I have never seen a 360 fanboy claiming that a game on 360 looks better than its PS3 counterpart :p

@Shyber I accept this that pc gaming is littile bit costly rather then consoles. But there are lot of benefits to play game on pc. U know how many games i play on my old Geforce 7600gs lot of Even Gears of war , Crysis Assassians Creed , Call of duty 4 Bioshock, Still i have no 3rings of death prob in my PC :p . Real thing is Microsoft always has a dream in his mind to beat Sony in console war , i hope this dream burried with Bill Gates. After a great hardware they put in XBox360 :p i hate consoles. But ps3 is still solid :D

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    "These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
