Are consoles holding video games back?

Are consoles holding video games back?

Quite the opposite, they're keeping them afloat.

No, worrying about the fps and resolution is what ruined gaming. So pc etilist and the 360/ps3 ruined gaming

This shit is ridiculous. Video games were running at 30fps almost 20 years ago. They should be strictly 60fps by now

Only since 1998.

yes. thanks to consoles, we still arent up to toy story levels

Then stick to your guns and only buy 60fps games

...

Consoles are cancer

To be fair, at that time Pixar was cutting edge and the very peak of 3d modeling in the whole world. And square is....well square

well if youd be willing to put up with like tens of hours per frame to get toy story tier shit then ye i guess.

...

no id be willing to use current technology to divide the time it takes to render a frame until it's realtime

Does any game lock your fps to 30 on PC? There's no "30 fps" game on PC

PC is worse for starting the microtransaction shit and killing physical copies and ownership

I have a PC with a 1070 and I love seeing all the PC master race fags trash on consoles, say they're anti-consumer and and then beg for first party titles developed in house by console manufacturers as if those games would exist without consoles anyways.

Then I guess the argument that consoles hold gaming back is wrong huh

You are wrong, the first machine to have dlc's was the dreamcast.

there are alot of shit ports locked at 30 fps and some cant even be fixed with mods

quite the opposite

Dreamcast DLC was free though

I didn't say dlc, I said microtransactions ie the loot boxes in every popular PC title

Without consoles, it'd probably be even worse. Instead of bad/underpowered console ports, we'd be stuck with mobile phone ports.

They're holding back development.

No, bad devs are

>once we say we're working on something, we're not allowed to 'take it back'. It's set in stone.

They need some impartial advise

the existence of the article proves his point

Publishers are holding back vidya.

Gen 3 console? I'm baffled it even runs on a NES in the first place.

Not as much as handhelds and phones.

Yes

That dude that made the decision to push graphics instead of stable minimum of 60 fps is the one that's holding games back.

Honestly as pcbro not really. The settings consoles play at are usually the pc equivalent of "low/medium" , you can go up to "ultra" still.

>toy story 1 looks good meme

Consoles hold back technology but without them the industry wouldn't have money.

Brazilian monkey OP

No. A lack of original ideas are.
