I think both platforms are pretty equal. I am so used to both input methods that i don't really have a preference. Consoles do let me play with old high school buddies who don't care for pc's and the general maintenance that one takes. Everyone knows someone who can't understand pc's. Allot of them only game on consoles and there good friends. So i am platform agnostic.
 
Shouldn't directors be "enlightened" and make proffessional speeches based on facts? After such speeches the word unproffessional liar comes into mind - maby its time to reassig?

Console fps's are a laugh compared to real PC shooters where the players actualy needs some skill (console fps's are great to let your 5-6 year old practice hand cordination thoo). The console fps's need all kind of tricks to even be able to nearly emulate real shooters on the pc.

For instance - Auto aim... timeslowing effects... the list goes on and on

Real FPS players choose PC - better controls, better graphics and better sound - Its that simple!
 
[citation][nom]micr0be[/nom]make halo for pc and watch the domination and eventual death of consoles FPS[/citation]
Was done (Halo 1 & 2, didn't play the second) and was to slow for a PC FPS.
Unreal Tournament 3 was brought on PC and PS3, was supposed to be crossplatform playable, but they never allowed it because as they said; "PC gamers will have a huge advantage".
I like my FPS with a mouse and a keyboard or the Wiimote & Nunchuk... but not with a pad.
 
Pure BS, this guy don't know Steam? Probably just pretend not knowing.
So let's list some PC Shooters
Stalker, Half-Life, L4D and L4D2, Fear (all of them), Metro 2033, etc, etc
Oh, wait, maybe he never heard of Team Fortress 2, CS. Unreal and all its mods like Killingfloor, Red Orchestra. Crysis and the next Crysis 2.
All CoDs, not only for PC but still played there.
This guy is a joke. Please people I'm sure I forgot a lot of FPS. You're welcome to widen that list.
 
Only snot-nosed kids play FPS games on consoles. Consoles are for the less-intelligent because they are no-brainer systems designed for the industry to be able to sell you a machine AND games which do not allow any hacking or copying. Why buy another PC that is inferior just to play games on? IDIOTS! Now with Steam games, the PC rules! No disks, play on ANY PC that can handle games anywhere... So WHY do we have consoles anymore??? I use my Wii to get netflix movies and only because they have exclusive games which my kids can play with their cousins... all of which they can do much better on their PC's -- the same PC's they do their homework on for school..
 
[citation][nom]zachary k[/nom]halo 3, odst and reach on console outsold PC by 100%, clearly console is better. /sarcasm[/citation]

I know your being sarcastic but thought id point out that Halo PC was one of the worst ports ever and a lot of PC gamers were turned away from the franchise by it.

Also Halo may be a legend on Xbox but its just another FPS in the great scheme of things, the same way FF7 has some godlike status among play station fan boys because it was the first great RPG to be released on the PS1 despite it not even being as good as some of the previous SNES FF games
 
I believe MS did a test w/ xbox and PC players and they had to stop because the uber xbox players were being owned by the keyboard/mouse players... Obviously this guy lives inside an xbox.
 
Id like to know what hes smoking, because most of my friends and I, if we had the choice of playing an FPS on a console or a PC, would pick the PC hands down just about every time, unless the game in question was a console exclusive...

Dont get me wrong, FPS's can be enjoyable on a console as long as the controls arent boogered all to hell, but KB+M, Higher Resolutions, and a larger amount of players per map for the PC versions will always win hands down! Oh, and not having to pay to play online (except for your broadband connection) is always nice too! 😛
 
oh so they dont ban kb/mous from ps3 becose the kb/mouse is to op the ban is becose the controler is to op. well hes a retard.
but i do like playing whit the controler if you up the diff you still be in the fight for a longet time becouse its harder to hit ppl and its a realy fun combination and yes you can become realy good at a controler but go on to youtube check out insane fps pc gamer and crap your pants then got to console and go yeah ok is good. btw i loved warhawks on ps3 it actualy had whot 99% of console games dont haw a long range wye and nice antialias.
 
Very few console players are arrogant enough to suggest that the controller is easier to aim with than the mouse, even they know that's not true.

Console FPS games ruin immersion for me. Nothing worse than trying to play a super skilled gun-man only to spend 3 minutes trying to line that damn reticule up with the guy 20 feet away from you. On a mouse he'd be dead in a split second.
 
LAN parties are still being held through out the world show that to be a false statement. Also gaming venues and especially Quakecon and WCG and WGC still use more then 50% PC games and of those FPS are very present. Also another fact, thumb controlling a FPS is a nightmare compared to a good old mous. And I am willing to bet that the "best" console FPS player would have his arse handed to him by an "above average" PC gamer using a mouse simply because the mouse is faster, more accurate and WAY more intuitive then a thumb on a less than an inch moving peg.

But hey everyone has there own thoughts and it's good that people throw them out there, but a thought is just that.. a thought and not a fact. So lets not get those two mixed up, shall we.

Oh and I love all the console auto aim statements 🙂 lol..... so true!
 
I play both Halo on my XBox (and love it) and PC FPS games (I have Halo 1, Halo 2, and CoD4:Modern Warfare for PC, as well as having had played much Quake and UT2k4 previously on the computer, and some Counter Strike: Source). Both are good. It's much simpler to aim with the mouse, but once you get used to the controller, it does a decent job. When they design the game with the assumption that you will be using the controller, it works well. I certainly have fun with it.

All this sniping (hah!) from each side is really just annoying and marketing. Nothing to see here.

I'm sorry, I stopped reading after the first sentence because dangit, I can't understand a word you're saying.
 
A gamepad will never have the accuracy and speed of a mouse, particularly a gaming mouse like those provided by Razor or Microsoft's SideWinder series not to mention Logitech - no comparison if you want to get into FPS seriously.
 
I've never understood why console FPS devs never support a mouse and keyboard. Its not like people don't already have a mouse and keyboard attached to their computer. What gives?
 
Console gamers don't have a clue what they're missing and they don't want to know. Ignorance is bliss. If I could use my Sidewinder Dual Strike on a console it would be entirely different. Nobody can aim accurately & quickly with those stubby little joy sticks. It's simple physics. this a$$hole is just wishful thinking. Also, there's no way to cheat on consoles, and I don't mean on-line cheating.
 
Actually the best FPS out there, ArmA2, is not even offered on consoles. It is apparent that this guy either does not know gaming very well, or more likely is trying to deceive people.

Regards,
