What I'm really happy about is that it will feature DX11 performance features. Two Worlds II did the same thing and that ended up adding a whopping 20 FPS on my rig. If Skyrim does the same thing I will be

I "lol′d" hard... The GTX260/260+ are good GPUs... at the Moment there is no Game that you cant play with them, in good looking Details. (This includes BF3 - I played it with settings from Ultra to Medium... in 1920x1080) - so dont blame the GTX260

Do you know what Pete Hines' job is?
He's the Director of Public Relations and Marketing.

In other words he's a glorified salesman. It's his job to make the game look good and promising to all markets, he'll say whatever he needs to say to make people buy the game. He's known for giving out false information in the past more than once.

Pete Hines' even said that the PC version is getting a unique UI. Todd Howard recently corrected that the UI looks exactly the same across all platforms and will only control differently, in other words Oblivion/Fallout 3.

What melting graphics where ?
AFA I ve seen they where good only. But i never looked much at this sad ported game anyway.
I always found Witcher terribly boring litle [censored], much show off and few gameplay, compared to Bethesda games at least.

There is no way the PC version will be in any way worse than console versions, it will have Dx11 performance features, considering you have a Dx11 card, and that is something consoles can only wish for this gen.
Also the amount of options available for PC will be ussual from AA, AF, vertical sync, shadows etc etc...

I bet the PC version on Ultra settings indeed will be in some way "face melting", the hell I remember running Witcher 2 on Ultra without uber sampling of course, I passed away in front of my screen

Actually the 260 is a medium card still!!! (its better then 350-550) just so you know, the first number is only the generation the last 2 numbers are the important ones, IE. a 290 would be much much much better than a 570 like I have (and thats a high tier card)
Recommended almost always means Medium GFX, so as you can see at the hardware page, you actually need very good cards to pull off high and ultra settings!!!!

lol... it helps if you watch the interview kid.

He says and I quote "we develop towards the consoles and then porting to the PC isn't so bad..."

Again Skyrim WILL have more sales on consoles combined then on PC saying such isn't going to help sales at all on the consoles if anything it will drive em away.

Pete also said something against Todd howard in interview
Pete Hines: Graphics matter. Anyone who says otherwise is fooling themselves.
Todd Howard: The Graphics a PC can do don't really mean anything. The 360 Graphics are good enough.

I'm currently running that card for BF3, playing on a mix of ultra/high. Its more than capable

Anyone expecting anything diferent than a full port is delusional.

Anyhow: Tod lie as much as Peter, its part of their jobs, and anyone in the inustry lies as much as them when it comes to the product they are working on. Or do you really expect someone saying even between the lines the final product is a mountain of radioctive worm crap which only use is polute the planet even more ?
If you want to take flaws in any game, just anolyse what has been forwarded to the public but never shown on any gameplay. If its ain t shown its because its crap.

It was one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it. Right? And this game was just dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes. That's the day I realized that there was this entire life behind things, and this incredibly benevolent force that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever. Video's a poor excuse, I know. But it helps me remember... I need to remember... Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can't take it, and my heart is just going to cave in.

Who's talking about sales? I never brought that up once.

Todd Howard is the lead designer and project lead.
Pete Hines is a salesman.

I'm going to take Todd Howard's word.

Yeah but when Todd lies it's usually to make the game worse for some reason XD

Ported? Its only available on PC.

Yes, this is a pointless debate. All versions will look similar! For now...

Any NVIDIA 50 is entrance level. Any 60 is low level, any 70 is medium end, 80 or + is hight end.
Thats how Nvidia treat its product.

Now obviously you got the generations leap.

Now, maybe i am a little severe as 2XX generation can only run DCS A10C on medium setting, but flight sims eat normal computers at breakfast as they require much more draw distance (this one sim draw distance is around 60KM bubble in all directions, much more than what Skyrim or any FPS can ever need to draw.)

Yea mods will be what makes the major difference between versions. I was speaking purely between vanilla versions of course.

Um then its even worse than i thought.

Yeah, as leaders ever knows what they says: Who sayd: "Nobodys need more than 64K of memory... Bill Gates, Who sayd... internet is just a temporary fashion... Bill Gates... Whos sayd.....The list is long.

Yep, I understood. I'm a PC player and I think people are getting overhyped for nothing. That "Skyrim will melt your face" statement keeps getting quoted when it's already been stated from early on that they are going for maximum fidelity between all platforms. Higher-res textures don't really make a huge difference unless the original ones are really low-res, like we saw in Oblivion. It's not the case with Skyrim, Xbox version already looks very good.
What mods will really have an impact over are screen effects and shaders, lods, better water reflections, higher-res models and all the extra eyecandy we had for Oblivion. Textures are fine.

The Witcher 2 worse? that what?

This is The Witcher 2 on my PC i hope every port looks liks that lol:

Okay, enough.

Between the sniping back and forth and accusations of lies all around, this can close.

The game will be out in a couple of days. Everyone will be able to see for themselves without relying on someone else's opinion.
