Heavy Rain doesn't count, because it's not exactly hard to make QTE's look good compared to real time graphics.

???


I mean you can't compare Heavy Rain - a QTE game - to a normal game like Alan Wake, and take it as an example of how PS3 is graphically better, while the X360 is 'maxed out'.

QTE's - Quick Time Events - are pre-rendered cut scenes, so they're easy to make good looking compared to real time rendered gameplay graphics (just look at games like God of War and Star Wars Unleashed: the QTE's look better than the regular gameplay). The X360 could easily produce as good looking QTE's like those in Heavy Rain.

I'm not knowledgeable about these technical things, but I don't see how the graphics are pre-rendered in QTE's... Don't they use the same character models? Having played GOW I and II, along with seeing RE4, the graphics look the same. If you're talking about animation, that's different, but I don't see any loading going on, and the replacement of character models and skins when it's a QTE...

Heavy Rain also looks just the same in real time gameplay, as well as when it's in QTE...
