This game will sort of be like the Battlefield series gameplay-wise ,but with mission objectives,it is also set in a fantasy setting. These are by far the best graphics I have seen in a game so far. The next Elderscrolls looks amazing as well.

link was dead for me. Was it by chance from Offset Software?

If so Sam McGrath is a genious - his last game (Savage) was simply amazing. He's another Carmac for sure. Dude graduated with a masters in music composition and writes his own scores for his games as well as building next generation graphics engines

It's out of the question. Just look what's inside the 360's and PS3...

What, exactly?

Pretty sure your present high-end PC could run Madden 360.

Umm, like 3 3.2 Ghz processors and a Video card that doesn't even exist for PCs yet (48 pipelines).

Wow, 48 pipelines? the question is, can they utilize all that?

LOL, probably not... at the beginning at least. The games will look mighty good, though.

And they will not utilize most of it for years... Just like they did with the PS2... They can tout as much as they want about the specs, If there are no games taking advantage it is a moot point... Compare Actual game graphics of UT 2006 to the xbox 360.. (would say the PS3, but they got called out on not showing actual game footage, they used rendered videos...)

I play both consoles and computer games and each serve their purposes...

From my understanding from my rep, The processors each do one thing... As in, One runs the video, the other sound, the other the game transition...

But my biggest beef with them, especially SONY is that they are constant liars... They touted the PS2 as more then it was, saying it could realtime render Toy Story.. IT could not even come close, that is the main reason why I do not trust Sony's claims for the PS3...

The Ps3's specs aren't even solid yet, so i call BS.

next gen consoles will be great at things like rendering very realistic waves on the water. As for AI - it'll still suck baows. Consoles will still be great for the same things their great for now - driving games, sports games, fight games, and very limited RPGs.

PCs will continue to be better for RTS, FPS, RPG.

Of course that's just my opinion, but I've never noticed otherwise.

Here's a great blog/article about what games should be giving us but aren't (PC and Console). It's pretty spot on IMO.
