It's sad really, iirc, most of your posts aren't like that.
Sorry, but you're the idiot, among with everybody that would think me as an idiot for that post in mine; for not seeing my point.

You're not really intelligent for thinking "Hey technology is developing can't you see lol"

Every game out there is being written for CONSOLES, save some RTS's. Consoles don't really have any graphics power compared to PCs, with their graphics solutions being slower than a 8800GT.

If you're making a game for a system with 256MB of RAM and a 9600GT-equivalent graphics processor, you're going to design it such that there won't be very open areas with lots of graphical detail. It is the reason Crysis couldn't be ported onto consoles, because your viewing distance has to be chopped to one third.

Sure, if you design a game for a console you can still re-design some of it for the PC and make the graphics look better. But not radically, because you've already made the most relevant design choice with consoles in mind. And also, redesigning a game to look much better on PC will take up a lot of developing resources and time; and they are much better spent elsewhere. Elsewhere that brings some profit. PC game sales are a joke compared to console game sales.

Why do you think DX10 couldn't be taken advantage of? It's been a monstrosity of a time since it came out. Could it be because consoles don't support DX10?

And what about that ever developing game graphics? All games released this year have graphics equivalent to games from 2007, some even 2006. (All games released this year can even be counted as looking worse than 2007, 2007 being Crysis' release year.) Could it be because those are the years the next gen consoles came out? Did you notice FEAR and Oblivion are still two benchmarks run by most of reviewers?

Unless someone with a vision like Cevat Yerli's comes and tries to take advantage of PC's power without regarding sales numbers, anyone waiting for another game with Crysis graphics, or better, is out of luck.

I don't know when the next generation consoles are going to be released, but it's definitely not before 2010. I'm curious as to what happens next, actually.
