Default Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory-PC or XBOX? - 03-09-2005, 09:05 PM
Which one should I get? I have all the others for xbox. I've seen the graphics for the PC and it looks great. But my problem is that I don't know how well the controls work for that type of game using a keyboard. Also, if I get the xbox version it will be on my 36 inch High def TV, on the PC my lowly 17 inch monitor. Any opinions?

It should..hopefully. My stuff is probably considered outdated now..(3.0Ghz Pentium 4, a 9800XT, and a gig of ram). But it had the juice to run DOOM3 and HL2 on high settings with any trouble. Thanks for the link Cloud, I'll get it dowloaded and try it out.

Most console game are coded in small resoloution anyway, all you're doing is blowing up an image with the same pixel count which makes it look shitty. Pc's increase the pixel count which is why games look better at higher resoloutions on pc.

Hd's different obviously but the majority of console games are like 640x480 max.

The console might not have better graphics without your uber hdtv, but Splinter Cell looks awesome on even just a flat screen tube tv, and it's much easier to play just becaquse of the analog sticks. It's kind of weird to adjust your walking speed using the wheel on your mouse...

there is no way a console will ever be able to match the pc, look the xbox is the best console out there and the processor is 750 mhz. they will always be 5 years behind.
i think the controls are better on pc.
