So I am aquiring a copy of Orange Box this morning for the PS3 and was wondering a couple of things:

Will it look better on my PS3 rather than my 7600GT?

What is the max player limit for TF2 on the PS3? I have a feeling it is 16, but it would be nice it was 24.

Do you tend to enjoy it more on PS3 or on PC? I currently have it on PC as well, but am sick of my video card struggling to play it.
 
i would think the PS3 will look alot better. i dont have any experience to speak of with TF2 and PS3 but I dont know why they would change the max number of people from the pc version.

I agree. However, once I started playing COD4 on my PS3, I fell in love.

Now if they could just freakin utilize a keyboard and mouse with FPS games, I wont need a PC (YDL Linux 6.0 installed).

Dude, the controllers are what makes it a sin. Now, it's not a hell-worthy trespass to play a game as slow paced and un-skill-intensive as CoD4, but in a game like TF2 where you need quick reflexes, snappy movements and just general better accuracy, it sure as shit is.

Why would you think a console version would look better then the PC? Is that ever the case?

BTW, iam not some console hater here to bust your chops. i have a ps3.

Lol? I play both TF2 (PC) and COD4(PS3).. and i gotta say i enjoy using a controller for normal shooting than a keyboard and mouse. Its just when you need to turn around or precision aim that gets me. TF2 does not need the accuracy.. only when youre a sniper. Most guns in TF2 dont need precision aiming.

Have you ever played COD4?.. its more fast paced than TF2 is.. especially free-for-all.
 
I know there are alot PC gamers that think using a Keyboard/Mouse is better for FPS ...but, myself & all my friends would rather play using a Console type controllers which is why we play TF2 on our Xbox 360's. We all started playing Video games ...waaaay back in the day of the Intellivision Game Console & have owned/played every new Console launched since then. We all also own PC's ...but, don't play games on them that often. :)

The end has come for PC gaming. Sad, but true. It's dying a somewhat slow death because of these consoles.

Funny, too. Because you can get a decent computer that will run some of these newer games for a lot less than you could years ago.
 
PC gaming is not dying, stop propagating stupid myths.

I can't really imagine playing a FPS on console. I used to play FPS's on consoles, but I've been converted and I sincerely feel that they are far superior on PC (although Metroid Prime on Wii played quite well but that wasnt an FPS per se).

Do you have any aspirations of upgrading your pc? Either in the near or more distant future? TF2 looks beautiful maxed, and plays great. Its even better when you get a mic going. Thats another + for the PC version IMO (although... I don't know anything about PS3s and mics?).
 
TF2 and fps in general are fun on consoles, but 16 player max servers sucks.
 
I wouldnt think the vid card is that much of a hold back, several of my clanmates play on 6 serries nvidia cards without problems.

And as far as playing on a comfy couch just for consoles? I could play it on my HTPC on my 1080p DLP without issues if I wanted too, my problem? No controller is as comfortable as long as sitting in a nice chair at my desk. Personal prefrence but eh.

Er... I don't think games sell half as well as they used to for the PC, unless it's some type of MMO.

I could be completely wrong, but everywhere I go the PC section gets smaller and smaller. It's clearly not a myth, PC gaming won't be anything like it used to be. Especially now that consoles all have online capabilities; the biggest advantage the PC had over consoles years back other than graphics. Now with graphics on consoles looking excellent, PC gaming is hurting.



What is the max players for TF2 on PC? 36? 16 max really does seem like it would suck ass.

True stuff, thats all fact. PC gaming is hurting a little, but not to the degree a lot of people say. I'm happy I own a PC and a console. I think 34 is the max for TF2, I only play in servers that have like 24 max. We TF2 players have been getting a lot of updates. Just got a new map called badlands, and another map comes out soon I saw on spike tv. Not sure if the console players get what we get.
 
The game should play and look nice on a PS3, though I doubt it will look much if any better than on a 7600gt at 720p. At 720p I doubt there would be a noticeable performance gap between the 7600gt and PS3 either. The PS3 should perform better at 1080p than a 7600gt though.

TF2 is not really all that demanding in the gpu/cpu department. You can play it quite well on a 9800pro at 1024x960. On a 1900xt or 7900gtx or better 1600x1200 with everything maxed except hdr and blur is quite playable in my experience. Those 2 options can get in the way of online game play in TF2 anyway imo.
