Looks like they are showing off the new DX11 extension with the Unreal engine. To bad the game will never look like that. The sad part is that it could.....but wont.

Game devs that work with the console platform in mind are holding back games for the PC that could/should/would look amazing

You guys were saying "No advance untill consoles advance." Well, first rumours about next xBox are in.
Now checking that linkee.

Only rumours about MS looking for people to start reseach into it. No actual specs.

I can see why guys like MailMan get wound up. PC gaming shouldn't be held back by the lack of current technology in current/next gen consoles.

it wont be launched for a couple years. 2014-2015.

 

[HookeyStreet]

it wont be launched for a couple years. probably 2015 tops.

Yep, keeping with the original 10 year plans: XBOX 720 in 2015 & PS4 in 2016

yeah.. I like my avatar more.

And they could be just going after their own tablet device or even their own SoC built for Win 8.

Oh man that would be awesome! Then all the console people would be bitching how tablets are holding console innovation back!

RO2:HoS will set the standard for online PC gaming in the near future. I cant say it well be amazingly ground-breakingly new but it will be something that we, as PC gamers see far too few of: A PC game!
Check out a writeup here:
http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/01/11/red-orchestra-2-heroes-of-stalingrad-preview/

Its my only "must-have" for PC this year. Skyrim probably aswell. I always wait for MOD tools to be announced cause then you know you will get a "real" PC gaming experience.

As for the next revolution: No idea. -Id be happy for a decent spread of good PC games actually.

What ybout those "browser" games? Whats their future?

oops and i saw this video ages ago? Whats the deal with it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlMCToxlt1c&feature=related

I don't think people are going to drop what they are doing and build a PC for Red Orchestra lol that game is niche.

Certainty of PC gaming is by no means unclear, thread title FAIL!!!:

Speaking with Gamasutra, EA Games Label president Frank Gibeau said PC titles are quickly becoming a key component in his company's strategy. And over time, he can see the PC become the leading platform in EA's business.

In September, the NPD Group revealed that 11.2 million digital PC games were purchased online during the first six months of 2010. Just 8.2 million PC games were bought at retail outlets during the same period.

Seems we're not the only ones thinking consoles hold the graphics back: http://www.pcauthority.com.au/News/...e-pc-is-making-consoles-look-out-of-date.aspx

Epic showed off a version of its Unreal engine that it jokingly dubbed version 3.97. This was designed to give an idea what would be expected from the next generation of consoles, and was running on three GeForce GTX 580 cards

*gulp* umm tri sli for the extra eye candy?

There are many other indicators that the PC is coming back as a gaming platform. But considering that these leaps in eye candy are only possible with the current state of PC graphics we wonder how long consoles will be the target platform for development of blockbuster games.

 

[CDdude55]

It has nothing to do with Consoles holding back PC really, it has to do with the devs being lazy and instead copy and pasting everything onto the PC instead of optimizing their games for the platform.

Consoles themselves don't hold back innovations on the PC, the devs do.

W1zz said the same thing in the 6990 xfire review.

I't just marketing. Developers always use that kind of extreme PCs on their presentations. You probably don't need half of that much power.

And even if you do need that much power, going by previous releases, it's not until 18 months later that we start seeing games based on the new engine, so that means 2H 2012 and by that time we will probably have GTX7xx and HD8xxx on the market.
