So, once upon a time (and I guess still today), there were two camps within gaming. There were the Consoles, a shifty bunch at best all too often given to fanboyism and prepubescent outbursts, and then there were the PCs, an overweight bunch with too much Mountain Dew on their ComiCon '86 shirts and too few female phone numbers in the ol' address book. Rarely would these groups ever interact with each other, and to say that there was an uneasy relationship between them would be putting it midly. The Consoles looked at the PCs as tech-geeks and nerds, while the PCs figured the Consoles were electronic nimrods who wouldn't know a real circuit board if it bit them on their pre-teen ass. And then there were the games... oh, the games... PCs saw their games as the pinnacle of programing. They could save whenever they wanted, upgrade as the occasion presented itself, etc. Consoles, though, knew that they had the cool games. Their games required reflexes, mental agility, and mad l33t skillz for da phat combos. Oh yes, those were wild times.
But now, the world is starting to look much different. Consoles and PCs are looking more and more alike, games are porting between them fast and furious, and developers are crossing over. People are saving games everywhere, making their own soundtracks, and playing out blistering battles totally online.
So, what are your thoughts on all this? What influnces do you see one having on the other? Will this merging continue, and is that good or bad? Dicuss..
