I dont agree. Games shouldn't be held back by people who have outdated equiptment. If your graphics card is old, you should update it, a reasonable one will only set you back the price of 2 or 3 games. To expect a game that is 2 years newer to play as the old one did is crazy.manee said:One thing is for sure, codemasters have screwed up, offering sub par graphics and demanding the latest graphics card to use it with.
Burma's Finest said:The PC games market is a pig in commercial terms. Hence, games are primarily designed for the console market where there is higher demand, less copyright infringement, and more money to be made. Now that the era of the PS2 (which sucked so badly) has finally come to an end, low-end PC users have to catch up with the technology of next-gen consoles if you want to carry on playing games on PC. Kev's right, it's all in the name of progress. I, for one, am glad that the next-generation has arrived. It's an exciting time for us gamers. We've never had it so good.

Not really. Think about it, if you spend the ?100 on a graphics card now, in a few years you will need to buy a whole new PC or do a major and expensive upgrade to keep up. The Xbox 360 platform will stay the same for the life of the console (a guess would be at least 2 or 3 years left before the 360 stops getting new games), which means instead of a big investment down the track you can just pay a bit over the price of two graphics cards for the Xbox 360, and not have to worry about upgradesmanee said:Would it be wise to buy a ?100 graphics card, ps2-pc controller adaptor and play games on PC for half the price rather than get a Ps3 or Xbox360?
