The myth of the more powerful console.

[bugrimmar]

yeah, but there's a limit to that art argument.

for games that have the same objective, theme, and genre, decent comparisons can be made.

examples:

1.) killzone 2 vs. COD4. both games aim for realism, both games are war settings, both games are FPS.

2.) Ratchet and Clank vs. Banjo and Kazooie. both games aim for cartoonish graphics, both games are platformers.

3.) Uncharted vs. Tomb Raider. both games aim for realism, both games are adventure/action, both games focus on beautiful environments.

etc.

there are many proper comparisons out there and there isn't a need to compare things that aren't even applicable. nonetheless, in the end, it's all down to budget and dev time, then comes art style and emphasis.

you do bring up some good points, however, and i agree that there are some metrics wherein games can be objectively compared graphically. but the point of this thread is "the myth of the more powerful console". at least we agree on the fact that both consoles are just the same in terms of power.
