      Editing … I respect the fact he is a creator but his criticism sounds like rubbish. He's not complaining about some console specific feature or restriction, just that they're not powerful enough. Specifically, that they're equal to a four year old PC. Meaning that if I gave up $500 to build a PC for gaming then four years from now I'd have the exact same problem that a PS4 . P.S. There is no reason anyone should game on a PC unless it's to emulate a real game device. (such as PSP or PS1)

      Editing … >30fps >real game device. Modern developers develop for PC first, the console versions are ports almost all the time. And a GTX 680, an older GPU (five years+), is still standard for AAA development houses, and wipes the floor with the PlayStation 4. A five-year old GPU easily outperforms our modern consoles. These things were years outdated before they were even released, when the A Way Out developer compares them to "five-year old PCs" he doesn't mean high-end PCs in the slightest.

      Editing … RTS and FPS games are far more easy to control with a mouse than an analogue controler. The main problems for PC gaming used to be the dowloads, instalation time and all that. Consoles have that, consoles are becoming closer and closer to PCs rendering console gaming useless.
