PC Gamers Too Good At Cross-Platform Gaming?


Rahul Sood, Voodoo PC founder and current CTO of gaming at HP, spins an interesting yarn about an aborted Microsoft project that would've let PC and Xbox gamers face-off. The only problem? During testing, the PC gamers cleaned Xboxers' clocks.

In the middle of a rumination on the lukewarm state of PC gaming, Sood divulges some details of a project Microsoft was working on "many many months ago" to let PC and Xbox users face off in games like Gears of War and Unreal Tournament, an effort that would've effectively bridged the gap between Xbox Live and Windows Live.

Sadly for the project, the fight wasn't exactly a fair one.

I remember hearing about this idea waaay back in the day and I'm shocked it ever went to testing. Just doing the math on things would prove PC gamers would curb stomp consoles in the same game every time. The level of customization and freedom of hardware restrictions alone is enough to show that and then add into the ease of "modifying" the game (hacks, custom skins, custom reticles, macros, etc) and there shouldn't even be a contest.

PC's win against console players because a mouse and keyboard is far superior to joysticks in fps games, not because the PC players cheat or have expensive hardware. 

Maybe if the consoles got some sort of handicap, like mega-auto aim.  For non-fps games, like driving or sports im sure the match up would be much better.

Consoles get a certain type of auto-aim in Non-Hardcore servers on BC2 when you're close enough to the player you're facing.

But even so, Mouse and Keyboard as far more superior it's like taking a Knife to a Gunfight in my opinion the precision far to superior with Mouse and Keyboard..
