Unreal Creator Proclaims PCs are Not For Gaming
An anonymous reader writes "TG Daily is running an interesting interview with EPIC founder and Unreal creator Tim Sweeney. Sweeney is anyway very clear about his views on the gaming industry, but it is surprising how sharply he criticizes the PC industry for transforming the PC into a useless gaming machine. He's especially unhappy with Intel, which he says has integrated graphics chipsets that 'just don't work'."
Okay, so now you're suggesting that the console-makers should FORCE the developers to include mouse/keyboard support? You're encouraging full content-control of that level??
Do you even know where you're posting, dude? Because you may be lost.
My desktop PC was manufactured in 2000. You're right that I have added RAM and a new video card for more performance and more features (such as TV output). But do they still make graphics cards for PCs with a years-old CPU and years-old motherboard? I guess not, as that would be analogous to a change in console generations. But where are the video upgrades for laptop PCs?
Of course they still make graphics cards? Are you an idiot? Have you even bothered to look or are you just trolling? You can still by PCI graphics card for christ sake. You are likely using AGP for a machine built in 2000; there's a plethora of AGP graphics cards still available.
What the FUCK does a video upgrade for a laptop have to do with anything? This clearly indicates you are trolling.
lollers! What about my Toshiba 1000 laptop with passive display?! Why can't I play Crysis on it? What a stupid fucking question. 99.999% of laptops are not built to play games. That's like asking why you can't watch TV on your microwave... cause it's not built for it, duh!
