| your mother said: It's not doom and gloom for the PS3, it's that I don't see what is so great about the screens from Lair compared to GoW on the 360, which look better to me? Who said it won't look better as the cycle moves on? It always does. But you can say exactly the same for the Xbox360, can't you? And you can certainly say the same about PC games; in fact, within 5 years chances are PC games will destroy anything outputted from any console. And especially comparing Lair's graphics to GoW, I don't see why the $200 price premium. Not yet. It may come in the future. It may not. But right now, very unimpressed. Sorry, I guess your standards are simply different from mine. |
Ok. Why doesn't Too Human look better than Gears of War? Why doesn't Elder Scrolls? Will Halo 3 look better? We'll see I guess. So far I'd say no. Gears of War was created to be that ridiculous looking FPS. I don't think there are as many things going on in Gears of War as there will be in Lair. Maybe I'm wrong. By your logic every game, no matter the genre or scope of the game, should look better than Gears of War.
There will be games that look better than Gears of War, but it doesn't have to be every game released. There are aspects of Motorstorm that look better, but it's a racing game with a lot of action on the screen. I think your standards don't make sense.
Of course PC games will destroy anything outputted from a console. That always happens. And it costs $300 every time a new FPS game comes out to play it, too. I used to play PC games more than consoles but I got tired of upgrading my video card at least once a year to play all the most recent games. And btw, just because Doom 3 looked good didn't mean Civilization 4 had to have better graphics because it was released after it. It's a different kind of game.
You're paying $200 more for free online play (in 4 years that's already even), a blu-ray player, wireless connectivity, and a higher ceiling for games. Yes, I think that we'll see PS3 games look better than 360 games at some point (maybe not multi-platform games), but Home and Littlebigplanet are also part of the equation. So yeah, I think the $200 is well spent. I can live without the 360 exclusives (Halo 3 I'd like to try because of pop culture's sake but I prefer PC FPSs), but I'd really like to play a lot of the PS3 exclusives. To each his own, but I'm not sure why you are criticizing Lair's graphics because they don't stand up to images (whether in game or not) of Gears of War. Let it go?
