live 07 last current gen on pc?

when will the pc migrate to next gen?

Maybe enext year If not they should at least give a new one with better graphics than the PS2. I know most people dont care about graphics but this is the 3rd year with almost the same graphics, its getting kinda old.

PC is already next gen compared to the now one year old 360. PCs have more processing power, better graphics processing, more storage, etc.

Next Gen is a marketing term.

I think it was obvious that he meant when will games like NBA Live start utilizing the same capabilities...

It is my opinion that after the current gen has run its course, EA will stop making Live for PC -- again, I have no backing to that claim -- just my opinion.

I disagree. The PC is easy to port to (well, easy to do a shitty port to), I think they'll continue releasing the PC version. But who knows?

Whenever the PS2 and Xbox are finally phased out. History suggests that's likely to happen within the next couple of years.

I believe they will continue to make a PC version. They already know they have a very loyal following for the PC. As long as creating a PC version is cost effective, they should continue to make it for the PC, imo. I also believe that with things like the "NBA Live Community Day", "LiveStyle", "Freestyle Challenge" and the "EA Downloader", they will continue to make a PC version.

yea ^^
the PC market is a lot smaller than the ps2 and xbox market... so i think PC is at the bottom of the pecking order when it comes to coding the game
expect the PC to look the best in a couple of years tho, because a top spec PC (especiallly now they have dual core processors) will handle the game far better than a 360... as somebody has already mentioned

I dont know if you heard of C# programming but its what Microsoft uses for XBOX 360 games and its the language for MS's XNA Game studio Express. (which allows for creation of both PC and 360 games) XNA I also believe uses DirectX 10.

So my theory is that when Direct X 10 comes out for the PCs we will get a nextgen lineup from EA.

MICROSOFT finally saw sense and decided to drop Windows Graphic Foundation (WGF) and replace it with the more easier and logical DirectX 10 name for its nexgen API.

It gave some details to the developers officially about its upcoming API and we know that it plans to release this API together with Longhorn. Or Visa, as we must learn to call it.

The DirectX 10 API will have completely new and faster dynamic link libraries (DLLs) and is supposed to run much faster. The company decided to cut the backward compatibility with DirectX 9, 8, 7 and lower in this API but there will be a way to use games programmed for those APIs. Microsoft will enable support for DX 9 or lower games through a software layer, meaning it might run slower.

The company did this to make the next API faster, it said, and at the same time will take some burden of the CPU runtime. At the same time we learned that DirectX 10 will have support for Shaders beyond Shaders, model 4.0.

It's coming with Longhorn but we learned that Shader Model 4.0 might come even before Vista.

How many pc's do u see running 3 core processors totally 9ghz together?..
Pc's aren't next gen yet.

Yea they are look at games like fear half life 2 ect.... It does'nt translate the same from pc to console.The ps2 had 32 mb of ram are you going to tell me that still wasn't a powerful system.

different core processors don't add up on processor speed.

it's three cores of 3Ghz, which doesn't mean 9Ghz in any way.

if that were the case, dual core processors would be twice as much powerful as single core, which they are not unless the specified software is programmed to split the tasks between processors efficiently.

the xbox360 has the technology to be more powerful than any PC to date, that is true.

however, the programmers still haven't found a way to efficiently code to make correct use of those 3 processors, and that's why some games that work pretty smooth on PC's get sometimes frame issues on the 360.

exactly... i wouldn't think ''nextgen'' games will be hitting the pc until vista arrives which has been put back til mid next year now

but if anyone has seen screens of callofduty2 on the pc... i don't think its impossible to have live07 looking like it does on the xbox
