gameplay>graphics for me anyday.

 

although i do enjoy a game that looks good. as long as there are few graphical glitches that don't get in the way of a good time i'm generally happy

yeah gameplay >>> graphics either PS3 or 360 both are great

@ selnor

I think it's already obvious and will become more and more obvious along the way. Early ST games were usually slightly better than their Amiga ports, later games, especially those lead on the Amiga were usually vastly superior.

Of course there were still companies like Ocean which lead their games development on the ST, the end result was usually about on par (using no more than 16 colors with a 512 color palette and no parallax scrolling and such, instead of some exclusives which sometimes had many hundreds of colors on screen using a 4096 color palette).

And now we can see this in action...

"If theres too much available resources on any platform but on PS3 = VERY BAD."
"If theres plenty of resources on PS3 = VERY GOOD."

However I agree that windows is bloated piece of crap and thats why I tend to use linux. I only use windows for gaming. I haven't even actived my internet connection on my windows. I do also hate MS, but I hate these mindless PS3 fanboys even more. :/

I think it's clear in these screens that the PS3 wins. Ratchet and Clank are not even shown here, and it's one of the best looking games. Lair looks great too.

Alan Wake on the 360 is just a guess at this point. Left 4 Dead should probably be on there for the 360. That one is going to look nice.

Oh, and Mass Effect looked great too.

Until someone beats MGS4, Uncharted, or GT5:p with a 360 game, no one will convince me that the 360 can keep up.

 

@ Audiomatic

That's pretty obvious isn't it? Top audio and graphics do however add to the experience (or are you playing on a mono black & white telly?). And the technical differences between the 360 and PS3 do not only relate to graphics and audio, also the amount of stuff you can do, how complex you can make a world to be, etc.

One thing to note, those games which have the best gameplay almost always get some special treatment from the developing company in terms of graphics as well. For example Super Mario Galaxy, Killzone 2, Gears of War, Uncharted, etc.

selnor said: You know what if you didnt know gaming, every single screenshot looked like it was from the same platform. Nothing in those shots shone above the rest. Just shows when posted like this there is no difference between the consoles.

 

You know the PS3 is better, when now he is fighting for equality. Now the party line is "they both look the same", I have heard that more then once in this thread. It's also why only PS3 fanboys start this thread. Why would a 360 fanboy want to compare exclusives?

No one likes to start an argument they know they will lose.

ZenfoldorVGI said: Actually, going by these "scans" SO4 pwnd WKC.(is it "chronicles" or "story") Anyway, the comparisons are bull. You should realize that. You can't compare Forza 2 to GT5. Comparing these games is like comparing apples and oranges. To get a real idea of graphical comparison, you need to compare multiplatform games.

 

Which one of these is better?

 

Oh, that's right, we can't compare, they are not the same game. Also, the PS3 and the NES have no multi-plat games, so I guess we can not argue which console has the ability to produce better visuals. Darn.

MikeB said: That's not in the 360 game, I completed it.

 

Yes it is from the 360 !!! GEARS OF WARS 2 IS ONLY MADE FOR X360 (no Pc version is being made right now) Check your facts !!
Gears of Wars 1 = X360 and later PC port Gears of War 2 = Only made for X360 for now

 

[The inferiority complex some of the PS3 fanboys have that they needed to make a point about graphics by making a thread about it, often comparing unreleased or brand new games with games released 6+ months ago.]

Well said

Its because they are desperate for losing the console war After all this years the X360 has selled better from the PS3 and it is still in the second place while their favourite Sony console is still in third place

Are these games even of equal budget?

Does the Forza budget equal half of the GT5 budget?

Are the Killzone 2/MGS4 budgets less than twice the budget for Gears of War 2? Ditto for development times.

Do these screenshots prove a more powerful machine or just one thats had a lot more money thrown at it?
