When I first heard of SC ghost for consoles only, I really didn't give a hoot. I thought it will be ok and not much of a loss. But when I saw the first screenshots and found out the main character was a girl (i am a softy for female based main characters but enough of that), all i could say was damn it all! First thing I thought was how the hell a PS2 or GC or even an X-Box could render those graphics at reasonable frames. Why would Blizzard not even make a PC version, at least rockstar did that with their gta 3 series. They are neglecting a huge fan base, also ironic since Blizzard's greatest hits are all PC games! THere are tons of pros and cons to throw around.
Console Only Pros:
- larger televisions > small monitors
- no hardware incompatibilities
- easy to play with friends when they are over at your place
Console Only Cons:
- set tv resolution is nasty
- no turning up the eye candy
- console stuff: speakers, controllers, online modules, etc... are too expensive than what they are actually worth
- mouse+keyboard = smoothest way to play a FPS or TPS
- some console online services charge on top of what you already pay for broadband
- more people play online on computers
- console games are $$$, $50 to $60 for the first half year or so (pc can be found on sale within first week and can even be free with the illegal method, hey that burner was a wise investment!)
- might have some lag (consoles do lag in their own games)
- no patch fixing
- and finally the biggest gripe NO MODDING AT ALL! so don't expect some creative guys to make something good even better
But if this game is trully that good, I geuss I can get a console, but the extra $$$ will be alot. Gotta pay for the console, and alot for those games, $100 can barely get you 2 new games, extra stuff like mem cards or cordless controllers. At least I have the tv already =/.
