I’ll give it a try and let you know. Thanks.

“good news is after a couple of years u get emulators for every consoles…I finally found a working good emulator for ps2..playing god of war 2 smoothly now on pc…finally!”

I saw the same thing at a game shop in IDB, God of War 2 on PC. I was like WTF? Bought it, put in the DVD drive and found that it was an emulator. Haven’t played it yet.

You’re 100% right. But why a HD 5870? Try running two HD 5970 in CrossFire X (paired with Core-i7 and 8GB DDR3 ram) and it will blow away any gaming console out there. But then again, people must have to be pretty thick to blow away so much money on a gaming PC. Still, I know some that would.

@Others

I’m really interested to see how this turns out, so, I’ll reserve my comments for later. You can also check out why PC gaming is NOT dead @ http://www.gamersworldbd.com/2007/08/pc-gaming-is-doomed-why-thats-bad-idea.html

sorry I do not think so….after a certain time, new version of consoles will come with more powerful hardware..like WII will have intel cores, PS will gain multiple core, XBox 720 specced nicely on this blog…so the contest will be goin on…
And may be you gotten emulator to play PS 2 “NOW”, you still did not manage to emulate a single PS 3 or XBox 360 game, did ya?

From time to time , each of the gadgets will have more stronger hardware, while, consoles will be optimized to their Best, PC’ll continue to never-ending hardware upgrade demand…..

I’d rather enjoy an emulated UC II right now, in 2010.

personally, i prefer keyboard and mouse over a bunch of buttons.

but i might change my mind with project natal

but still, online gaming is best with pc so far regarding all aspects…

if only pc offered the same games as consoles, namely god of war, naruto\bleach\anime stuffs, the racing and fps of consoles, pc would triumph any given day…since they are not offered, consoles still and will hold the market.

good news is after a couple of years u get emulators for every consoles…I finally found a working good emulator for ps2..playing god of war 2 smoothly now on pc…finally!

so after a certain certain time, pc pwns other consoles…although they are almost obsolete by that time.

“Of course PC delivers out the best in graphics but it cant give me the Uncharted II or Bayonetta, or, Ninja Gaiden II or A C II ( at the right time), or Gears of War II, or most importantly GOD OF WAR III.”

Nicely Said,bro ! this is what i was trying to tell the people who don’t understand this matters & try to compare a console with the pc !

Of course PC delivers out the best in graphics but it cant give me the Uncharted II or Bayonetta, or, Ninja Gaiden II or A C II ( at the right time), or Gears of War II, or most importantly GOD OF WAR III.

Like above peep sed after I poured out cash on PC and saw it would not let me to play smoothly, I did not hesitate to get a console. PC updated rakhte hole je cost aar observation rakhte hoi I somehow do not like it.

I play the X3 only and cross platformers on X3, they’re cheap. Then I kept my PS 3 to play PS 3 only titles cuz I do not see any point spending 4000/5000 /= for a cross platformer game that I could get at lower price or even by download.

Each consoles along with PC has specific advantages, actually not to be rude, the debate between PC versus Consoles is gettin pointless. People have their visions, their choice on titles, their comfortability, and most importantly, they’re bound by the mightier gaming industry who determines which release to what platform- not us.

hey bro,sounds like u r a one hell of a hardcore gamer like me !

we all know that,most of the gamers in bd r pc gamers.but still consoles r asomewhat unbeatable ! as the Gaming Wiz has already stated,
“The main advantage with consoles is that their hardware doesn’t change, so the code gets better optimised and you have no worries whether it will run at the highest setting.”

believe me,i’ve just spent tk. 3-4 lacs on upgrading my pc in last 3-4 years but still my pc ended up very badly ! thats why i just switched to console gaming but i’ve been playing on the pc since 1998 & still pc is the best !

so comparing them might not be a good idea ! both platform r just best for gaming !

btw…gameboy,gameboy advanced,nintendo ds,psp r just handhelds.& u can’t compare a handheld to a pc ! am i right?

i do have both new gen handhelds – Nintendo Ds & Sony psp !

& i also have experience on playing in these platforms – gameboy,gameboy advanced,nintendo ds,sony psp,ps1,ps2,xbox,xbox 360 & PC.

“I grew up with PC gaming and will be a PC gamer for life.”

Same here !

The consoles R goin strong, but in BD, if u dont have the cash, u will stick wid da PC or laptop coz, come on, most BD families who search for entertainment systems considers the computer instead of consoles coz mainly of internet….nd let me stress the fact that i mean in BD, alot of ppl just dont bother 2
a) Find a good console.
b) Buy an HDTV or just a suitable TV.
c) Search for an applicable internet connection 2 run the console in,
d) Set it up in ur living room.

And after all of that is done, find good games 4 it…..

So the masses by PC’s and get a simple internet connection…….

Now, if i say that you had abt 2 lakh in ur pocket 2 spend….a console wud b my top choice, along wid a sizeable HDTV etc and etcetera……..

But in BD, consoles r a long way behind the PC…..if i consider only dhaka though, then yes, consoles R catching up nd will be widespread soon enuf….but all over BD will take evn more time……

Anyways….i love playing on consoles, but u just cant say that a crossfire combination of 2 radeon hd 5870 is not more than a PS3 nd 360 combined…..
I compared them nd so im tellin these statements…….

beat that

I couldn’t have said it better myself bro.

@Moontasir

Well, I considered myself to be a hardcore gamer, but after reading that impressive list, I must congratulate you bro. And those are some really nice points.

Even if we don’t like to admit, BD is a PC-gaming centric country. So, PC gaming will always be #1 here. However, in the US, it’s all consoles. If you say PC gaming is going strong back there, you’ll frankly be barking up the wrong tree.

As for me, I only have a PS2, PS3, 360, DS, Wii and a PC. If you think your .96 lac PC will last for 6 years, you’re sadly mistaken. I had to learn it the hard way. I spent over 2 lacs only on my PC alone thinking I’ll be good for 3-4 years. Among others, I got two Radeon HD 3870 X2′s in CrossFire (total of 4 gfx cards in my pc ) and even then I have trouble with anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering at 1920X1080p.

The main advantage with consoles is that their hardware doesn’t change, so the code gets better optimised and you have no worries whether it will run at the highest setting. But for the PC it’s an entirely different story ……… Still, I grew up with PC gaming and will be a PC gamer for life.

Yes….i own a gameboy, gameboy advanced, nintendo ds, psp, game cube, wii, ps1, ps2, ps3, xbox, xbox 360, hdtv’s nd a totally ripped PC…..nd on top of all these things, my PC is at the top….nd for bangladesh, along with all updates, hardware(i.e. sound system, keybrd, mouse, monitor, printer, scanner) it just cost me Tk.96,000 for the PC, but i am goin 2 b able to use it with minimum updates for the next six years or so….unlike the consoles….

@Moontasir
dont mind .. do u hav any console xperience .. i mean r u giving this analysis after playing console games ?

this is a 2 year old article, and let me update it a bit…..
1. DX 11 has hit stores in Bangladesh.
2. PC sales have skyrocketed in 2009 and r continuing to rise in 2010 coz prices r dropping like flies.
3. The PS3 nd 360 r lagging behind the PC coz, just recently, a top software firm released top of the line controllers and soon is going to release MOTION GAMING for PCs, mayB evn B4 the PS3′s or 360′s motion controllers.
4. COMPARE THE RADEON HD 5900 SERIES WITH THE 360 OR PS3 ND UR GONNA LAUGH UR GUTS OUT AT THE CONSOLES WEN YOU SEE THAT THE GRAPHICS OF THE CONSOLES ARE LIKE CHEAP TRINKETS COMPARED 2 DA PC.
5. Buy the nVidia 9 series graphics card (most of them are below TK.15000) nd u can match the graphics with the PS3.
6. Emulators chiefs have recently released emulators for both PS2 and Wii on the PC……nd alot of ppl hav already started to crack the PS3.
7. And finally, according to a recent survey for an IT fair, gamers in bangladesh hav bought enuf hardware and software in a week long fair to amount to almost TK 90 lakh, a.k.a TK 9 million nd more….

So 2 years past wen this post was made…
AND DA PC IS STRONGER THAN EVER……WAHHAHAHAHHAA
