Quote:PCs are behind more than ever now. Stuff like Riddick and RE4 are comparable to the best-looking stuff on the PC, and this is three years into the generation. Back during the N64/PSX days PCs were way ahead much sooner.
It is true that PCs aren't as far ahead as they were in the N64 days, but they have been ahead for the last year, anyway. Why aren't they as far ahead as before? Well, on the same line, why doesn't the X-Box 2 look to be as huge a leap graphically as the Xbox1 was from the PSX or N64? The graphics curve is slowing down a bit, at least on the 'perceptible differences' front... but even so, PCs do have better graphics, when companies actually try to use that power.
Just as big as PSX-PS2/N64-GC? I don't know... maybe by the raw numbers, but by the "look"? We haven't seen much of the next generation's graphics, but to me it definitely doesn't seem as huge a jump as N64 to GC.
