| crumas2 said: Comparing two different games on two platforms to determine which platform is better is largely meaningless. There are so many variables that can make a difference such as developer capability and resources, approach, game-style requirements, etc. Also, what looks really incredible to one person might not look as great to the next, depending on personal preferences--some like artistic/manga style graphics, some like depth-of-field effects, some prefer higher photo-realism, etc. |
Agreed, however if theres a really big difference in similar games then you can say something about performance too. Like if you would compare this gen games with last gen games, you wouldn't get it wrong even if you wouldn't know system specs or know anything about consoles. And this isn't the case with current gen except of course the fact that PS360 look much better than wii games, which makes it quite clear that wii is inferior in 'power'.
One final note... while I respect John Carmack a great deal, I wouldn't say he's unbiased. If you've ever heard him give a presentation, then you know the guy definitely has strong opinions.
Well, Carmack is the 'father' of current 3D games. His words shouldn't be taken lightly either, but I agree too that he surely isn' biased. :)
