Category Separation for PC and Console

Been curious about this for a while but why haven't PC and Console been separated on these boards? All the other boards, especially Resident Evil boards, have PC and console separated due to hardware. I know me and a few others have asked this question and think that it should be separated on this board to make it balanced.

What does everyone else think?

i agree its unlikely console can match a PC time due to speed and increased frame rate and load times most other resident evil boards have both platforms separated the main series that don't have them separated is the RE revelations boards and its odd that they have not separated them.It would be good when i get a decent time on this game then i can finally submit a run.

hey deln o/ i have seen that RE6 uses both RTA and IGT but its still unlikely Console will match PC in time like for example loading times increased frame rate Console is locked at 30fps and PC could use variable 120fps i just cant see Console matching PC times but like i said in my previous post the only series i know of that hasnt separated platforms are RE revelations 1 and 2 even though PC is the fastest version but i assume they have their reasons for not separating them.

also out of curiosity is there any difference in time including load times between the original release and the HD release is one faster than the other ?

RE6 does show both RTA and IGT but IGT count as the primary timing method.

As for revelations 1 and 2 i wouldnt be able to tell you tbh. :X

yeah i agree thats fair enough. but i would say that separating the platforms makes sense and it will also look cleaner on the boards one tab for PC the other for Console. plus should any new runners arise for this game it would halt any complaints about unfair timing albeit PC being the faster version or not but its entirely up to the community.

HD runs at 60 fps with faster loading and the game is done by IGT. PC is the fastest regardless cause a person can run it at a higher FPS if they have the hardware to do so. Nearly all RE games are separated for PC and console due to hardware. I have played on PC a bit at a friend's place to test some things out. Console will not match PC if you have the right equipment...Why I am asking about this cause it is unfair to those on console.

Oh and some sections are shorter in the HD version too!

i was saying that before :D so in order to make it a fair place regardless of the platform you are able to run on both forms of platforms should be separated to make a fair balance to the boards that way theres little room for arguments about this kind of thing in the future should an argument of this ever arise of course.

and thanks for the info on the HD port persona o/

I agree but wanted to make a community discussion on it to see if other agreed on this topic as well. NP, I run it on PS4 so you have any questions do not be afraid to ask!

i wouldnt mind having them separated tbh

Ok, I know Snow and several others are on the same boat of PC and console being separate as well.

Even if the timing method removed loads, PC would still have an advantage in that it's 60fps. Console is locked to 30 on Xbox 360/PS3. I guess it's also kinda generous to say HD is a solid 60 cause that shit ain't staying 60 the entire time, especially on Xbox One. lol

Though I assume most boards have them separated for a lot of smaller reasons:

  • PC can use KB/M. Which is the best / most accurate control scheme if you are adept at using it.
  • Able to remap controls.
  • Shorter load times
  • Higher FPS allows for a higher presses per second.

This game includes loads within the IGT as I have found out. I know the PS4 for majority of the time, as far as I have noticed, does run at 60 FPS even with a lot of shit going on...One does drop on occasion...more than it should. One also has problems with FR as far as I can tell. KB/M and higher FPS is my main concern cause like you said...puts them at an advantage where console cant compete tbh

exactly the more framerate you have the faster you are even for an example PC was limited to a maximum of 60fps it would still be faster due to load times alone so its not exactly an option to be considered even though im sure if that was an idea runners on the PC side wont be to pleased about it and thats fair enough the only viable solution is to separate them plus as an added note there isnt going to be any negative issues if they are separated its only going to make the board look cleaner and fairer so personally im all in favour of separating them.

I vote to make old gen (PS3/360), New gen (PS4/XB1) and PC and their own category

United States

I agree with what Snow mentioned...Old Gen and New Gen need to be separated too. Just make it look much cleaner

United States

There ya go...Adjusted the boards accordingly. Tell me what you think and if anything should be adjusted! Much love :D
