The trouble with open sourced media website like youtube is you have the right to free speech and to voice your opinions anonymously, which in some ways can be fun or also disruptive.


Im apologizing firstly because I have ben a member of the forum for a long time and wanted to redirect my post instead of re typing it, although its open for topic of course.


I love to watch youtube and to me it’s a tool of the 21st century where common knowledge, and expert advice is shared. You do however find that advice and knowledge is falsely advertised and commented on to the point of disruption and confusion for others. Some of these people can be referred to as trolls, others just with no understanding of the topic in question.

My reason for making this is to highlight my point which is shared by a majority to the minority, and to try and educate people from my experience and knowledge.


My expertise is in Computer Graphics, and Commercial Art. I’m 39 Years old. I have a long line of qualifications, and I have built computers since I was about 19 years old. I have a knowledge of programming in literally all formats but do not claim to be the best, and I really don’t need to program in my line of work.


When I was 15 Years old the only thing you could buy that could play games was a home Computer. It was considered the best as there was nothing to compare it to. Back then the battle was between an AMIGA 500, or an ATARI ST, which were both similar price, but one was better in terms of performance.


My Choice was the AMIGA. It was my first true Home Computer, and Games machine. Today you see similar battles between Sony and Microsoft with games consoles. You also get comments from people who choose to game using a PC who claim it is superior, so the argument escalates.


Anyone now who is 15………….who has a desktop computer will no longer have one in 5 years. The desktop computer as we all know it as it has evolved is being replaced by faster and more convenient technology.
As an example, the TEGRA K1 Processor is already showing benchmark testing that can reproduce PS3 Graphics performance on a handheld device, It’s not only faster than the PS3 but the Xbox360 combined. The TEGRA K1 is the first in its generation that will allow mobile gaming at the level we see in Console gaming.


The Playstation 4 has nothing to prove, In fact Sony have made such a focus on the gaming community that they will truly revolutionize our whole world of entertainment as we can’t imagine yet.


With the introduction of Morpheus, and Wireless motion tracking in 2015 we will see that SONY will dominate the market in Entertainment. Some people will argue that Oculus is better because it’s designed for the PC. If you speak to the founder and creator of Oculus you will find his idea was not based on PC gaming, and he is actually working with many companies to make his idea’s become mainstream. Including SONY, who in actual fact started their Morpheus project a year before the OCCULUS project started.
You will never see another Xbox again.



If they redesign it, it will no longer be viable to be called an Xbox. The war is officially over between the consoles. In fact if Microsoft want to they could release something to rival the console market, but they are falling behind in all technology now, especially with companies like Google, even Companies like Amazon who you wouldn’t expect.


You have to ask yourself why are these companies winning over such a large company……and the simple answer is cost. You are paying for a name and a franchise, and at the end of the day this is what my point is.
I bought watchdogs recently. I got it on the PC and PS4, I played it in Ultra on PC and as it was on PS4. The only difference was on the PS4 it was played through my 65 inch LED, and on the PC it was on a 28”ASUS.
I don’t wear glasses, but as an Artist I rely on vision to do what I do. I could not tell the difference between the 900 pixels the PS4 was displaying to the 1080 pixels on my monitor.



Now people have argued the toss with me on this but missed my point entirely, and my main point being before I continue is that “I have no problem with PC’s”


I have had people tell me that they can build a PC to play Watchdogs for the same price as a PS4. I don’t know who they buy their components off but it isn’t going to happen. I’ve worked it out that to play it at Ultra just for the PC alone would cost close to £800.no keyboard, mouse, or monitor and the bare minimum and have to overclock everything.


My main argument is not everyone has £800 to spend just to play a game……that’s not that dissimilar from the PC version. But it’s very hard to get that across to people.


I had one person tell me he was running it on a PC spec older than my old Quad core……It’s not true, it won’t bloody run it simple as.

I just want this post here in case anyone decides to spend money to play Watchdogs, or any other game they will consider better……….theres no such thing as better.

It will be weird to lose the desktop PC to what will replace it, only people of my age group will understand that, but its going to happen……so where does it leave the PC? And the PC Gamers?


Steam…………which is what im letting off after reading comments on Youtube. In a few years people will have a box that’s media friendly and interchangeable. It will be as small as a Playstation 4 and will run PC games through the Steam Network. But you certainly wont have a tower system under your desk with liquid cooling to play games in ULTRA settings.


The Desktop PC as you know it, and also I know it, will only be used to play, test and develop Games for perhaps another 10 years before its technology has reduced that a whole room of developers can squeeze in my office.

Anyway…….i said enough, im sure people will throw abuse at me.
