    Patrick Bach, executive producer for DICE told PC Gamer that PC help make games on console look the way they do today. According Bach “It has forced us to push the limited technology of consoles compared to the PC to a new level, because we set the bar with what we wanted to create on PC and said, ‘How the heck are we going to do this on consoles?’”

    Bach makes a good point. It much more of a challenge to keep the same visual when you limited to 5-6 year old hardware when it pushes brand new spanking monster PCs to its limit. In the end decision, it ultimately ended in removing really cool looking features but not necessarily a key for a great gaming experience.

      He's right. Why make nice textures, scale them both for Xbox, then keep them crappy for PC aswell? It makes no sense, they should make the high res textures, apply them to the PC Version, then scale down for consoles. Only a few developers who still believe still. Sadly DICE is controlled by EA..Also what is a spanking monster PC?
