Why has no one made a game since the original Crysis that showcases the power of top of the line PCs?

Because all you gotta do is just compare it to the console version to make it look good. Putting everything on low settings is literally the console version

My first guess would be that there's no cost benefit in doing so. You miss out on the console marketshare and potentially strangle the PC marketshare, although the modular nature of the options menu trims that out a little bit. It also takes more resources to get those amped resolutions, particle effects, etc. Which means you miss out on even more profit because of the costs. Short version being, there's little profit to be made in making a tech demo.

Crysis 3. lol They neutered the franchise. Try again. Lonestar2000 posted... Sure, if it ever comes out this decade. You can play it today. Star Citizen is the exact game you want when bragging about PCs and this game that seems unachievable on any other platform.

Because we're at the point where the difference between console and PC is no longer such a jump. Max settings games can look absolutely gorgeous compared to the console version, but it's not such a stark difference that it would be worth putting time and money into making a game that has the comparative jump in scale from current level games.

more and more games on PC also come out on console these days. at least the big AAA ones anyway. and they mostly design the games now with the console version in mind. it wouldn't make financial sense for them to design it for high end pc's and cut off some of their customers

I thought Witcher 3 was the benchmark nowBenchmarks aren't necessarily made to showcase top end PCs. The point of the benchmark is to showcase differences in performance.

Be completely forgettable? Thats simply untrue because Star Citizen does things ED could never begin to dream of. JoeBurrow posted... scammed people for hundreds of millions of dollars by selling ships in a game that doesn't even exist yet after 9 years of development It does exist though. You pay money and you download the game. Throwing the word scam around doesnt mean anything here, makes you seem like you have a grudge. You wanna be cute and hold on to a release date Like when Minecraft Or PUBG had a release date and it really didnt mean a damn thing because millions were already playing it in its current state. And regardless of how they got the money. A project that big needs hundreds of millions of dollars. Again, this is the game you all seemingly think would exist in an ecosystem without consoles holding them back. Who has the capital to produce a game like this? Whos willing to funnel hundreds of millions into a single game, only playable by a small percentage of gamers? ED couldnt pull it off. And no one else is producing it. Yet you here it is, existing with warts and all that you cannot look past. Well continue to twiddle our thumbs and wait for this day that never comes where consoles no longer exist and suddenly theres infinite time and money to produce anything that rivals Star Citizen. --- ...
