I play PC games also of course, but I'd never consider myself a proper "PC gamer", because I just don't have the $$ to spend on a system that could really outshine consoles in the first place. I mostly just play less demanding indies, etc, on my PC (ahem, haha actually a MacBook Air running boot camp Windows, so that should tell you how much gaming performance I get).
Anyway... I'm bored so sorry for the long winded random BS. It's a cool announcement I think, so let's all just keep a positive spirit. E3 is supposed to be a fun week for us all, so let's just enjoy it!
@ivdamke: eh, you're right, just maybe the tone... Some PC people are so ridiculously anti console that some console players get riled pretty easy. You're right though.
The mods thing for consoles is huge, and I think it's clear this release is driven by and meant to serve consoles way more than PC. It's always been HD. And PC has had mods of course, some of which bump the graphics to incredible levels.
A big bump in visuals will definitely have me checking this out, and I'd really like to try some of the more entertaining mods (I.e. That change the gameplay and world, not just graphics tweaking).
Of course, console players like me have always pined a bit seeing videos of the PC version in action. The release is clearly meant mostly for us, so it can be annoying to see someone who has had it good all along rain on our parade. At the same time though, everyone could just chill, because you didn't say anything wrong and were pretty reasonable about it (haha, minus the "I guess part". It is DEFINITELY good for us!).
