Biohazard 5 Demo Comparison

[DONNIemo]

I still can't wrap my mind around the concept of compulsory installation for console games. It bewilders me. I'm a PC gamer though and I'm dissaproving so few or none of you are playing RE5 on the PC.

I think noone has a beast PC that can run it, I know i don't :(

But yes ive seen some high end shots running on PC's on NEOgaf and wow they shit all over the PS3 and 360 versions.

But if I had to say it I would say my 360 version looks sharper then the PS3, yet I find the draw distance is better on the PS3. o_o I do notice alot of jaggies in the frame refresh rate on the 360 too.. that really puts me off playing it. :\

Im happy to take some photos of the draw distance if people want.

Not sure this needed a bump for someone to say their are "huge" differences in the graphics? There obviously isn't.

Surely they're all installed for the same reason?

Further to that...why be disapproving that a franchise that started it's life on the home consoles is continued to be played on consoles at this point? Seems perfectly understandable to me.

A beast? My 3 years old computer runs it at max settings in 1680*1050 at a constant 50fps with a 8800GTX.

This game is very, very well optimized.

Well that still sounds like a beast to me, I only have a crappy Acer Aspire 5600, lol It can run Doom3 very well, and suprisingly HalfLife2 but nothing else >_<

If a PC can run Doom 3 decently, it can run Half-Life 2 like a cakewalk. (Unless they finally, retroactively, updated the source engine to add a bunch of stuff to Half-Life 2 that wasnt' really possible nor there when it was first released)

Actually, i think they might've just recently, in the past few months or so.

A "beast" is a 2000 bucks computer, not a very outdated 3-4 years old computer you can buy at 200-300 bucks.

You're talking about HL2, and it was released in 2003, 7 years ago... It was a LONG time ago.

I change my computer every 4-5 years now, but it's the first time in a while that I feel like my computer is not getting old. I guess it's because more and more games are multi platform and aren't demanding hardware wise. It's refreshing.

Or GTA4, SF4... Good ports are really rare, and RE5 was a really good surprise :)
