Quote:No. Well, yes. But the reason for some of the flaws in the PC version (like the simply ABYSMAL draw distance on small foliage/weeds/grass) is because they were developing it for both PC and xbox 360 at the same time. You know, I'm really beginning to hate that damn console and its predecessor. :P Same problem with Thief 3 (which aside from these complaints was an excellent experience), the loading zones and other limitations (no water.........) was because they were developing it for PC and xbox. Pisses me off. They could do the PC version first and strip it down for the console, but no...
Yeah, I would admit some games have been crippled because of console development, but are you sure about that being the case for the 360?
It is faster than pretty much all of the current mainstream computers, has sufficient RAM and a blistering GPU as well. I dont see how developing for it could make a game worse for the PC (apart from lazy developers not porting good control styles to take advantage of keyboard/mouse etc)
