suddenly this comes to mind...when im thinking of playing multiplatform game on PC instead of PS4. With the current trend, game on PC will become more and more heavier while they still run fine on console.
from the consumer perspective, sure optimization for PC games is nice. But is it really something that worth to do by developer?
Its been quite common that PC games have bad optimization, including for AAA games. Watch Dogs runs nice on Nvidia, not too good on ATi. AssCreed series did not properly use multipler cores, etc.
games without superb pc optimization keep selling well (and maybe it make PC gamer invest more in their hardware).
So is there any reason why developer should optimize their pc games? what is the benefit for them to optimize games? does games that run well on super wide array of PC really give more sales?
With the design on PS4 and X1, i think optimizing PC game should be much easier this generation than last generation (PS3/X360).
some AAA games that have post-update "noticeable" performance optimization:
- Tomb Raider reboot
- Titanfall (almost 100% fps boost for my tablet)
- Battlefield series
