I was reading an article on a gaming site today discussing the first video of the PS3 version of Battlefield 3 that was shown recently. While the game looks really good, it's not as nice looking as the PC version. When the developers were asked about this, they said that it was only natural that the PC version looked better given the increased performance modern PCs offer. If the PC version looked the same as the PS3, they said, it would mean that they had done a very poor job developing the PC version.

So... why exactly shouldn't this game support DirectX 10/11? Should the PC version only look as good as the PS3 version? Listen, SE...we're...*NOT* going to be mad about the fact that the PC version looks a lot better. That's only natural given the specs of modern PCs. Both versions should use the maximum potential of the platforms they're on. Ignoring DirectX 10/11 only hurts the game. It doesn't help anything.

I play on the PC now, and I'm planning on buying the PS3 version when it comes out. Regardless of what the PC version looks like, I'll probably spend more time playing the PS3 version simply because I like to play in the living room. It's just a personal preference. So consider me a PS3 player when I say this: make the best PS3 version you can, and give your PC version DirectX 10/11 support! Anything less in this day and age is inexcusable.
