so what? Never said it was, that build and the comments it was in response to were completely irrelevant to the article, Cossner and Pig only read the headline. Also, that article is also from today and that build from over a year ago, even if it was. The only point of showing that build was saying that it is capable to build a PC the same if not better for the same price range when someone unmistakeably just claimed the opposite.
The point is, thats not as good as it gets - thats as good as you think it gets. It's as good as it has been getting simply because thats what console tech is capable of, but much much more is capable for PC but developers can't afford to build games better than when it's wasted investment on 2/3 platforms and often has to be scaled back regardless for PC as a result, and thats what the article is saying. Developers would like to make much more graphically amazing games, and the tech is there for them to do so. Certain platforms make this unfeasible though.
