Mazty, the problem is your approach to this thread was rather flamebait-ish.

I mean, you're comparing the Xbox 360 to PC hardware first to say it's dated, for god knows what reason. Then you also say this could be the 360's worst year yet. The 360 has a number of AAA (as in the budget of the project) exclusives and console exclusives as well as Natal coming to it this year, which all could/will give it a much better year than 2009.

You're not behaving as bad as iHuGi, but what you mentioned in the beginning was uncalled for, and that's why Lord Flashheart and selnor began to get more and more hostile towards you. I, too, don't think Mass Effect 2 has the best graphics on consoles, and I also don't think Gears of War 2 blew away the competition in 2008 as MGS4 had something to say about that, but what game(s) is/are ahead of Mass Effect 2 besides Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2? Honestly.

Also, can you provide a video/picture to show the poor depth of field?

 

Actually I just corrected people. Someone claimed ME2 was going to be the best game visually on both consoles. This clearly was never going to be the case due to it a)not being an exclusive and b)being on the weaker of the two consoles. That's just logic, so not my fault if people then cry over point 'b' when it's a bloody fact.

The 360's sales have been weekly beaten by both the wii and PS3 since the PS3 price cut. Plus there are numerous large PS3 exclusive (none of this on PC nonsense) out this year which many people have been waiting for: Heavy Rain, God of War III, GT5 and so on. The 360 has very few titles when you look at it in terms of true exclusives. If you factor in the PC, then there are less exclusive  games out for the 360 than the PS3, and with the PS3 already selling more units a week for the last few motnhs, there is no good indication as to why this is going to change any time soon. 360 is getting Natal, PS3 is getting Arc - moot point until people actually use the hardware.

Yes few games are ahead of ME2, but I think people more got pissed off with the mention that it was PS3 titles beating a 360 title rather than looking at it objectively. And yeah, every screenshot I've seen doesn't show DoF, hence why I asked for one. If I can't see it, I can only say it's not there until I'm shown otherwise. Plus, no AA - that's pretty old-school.

"Other than Halo Reach and Fable 3 the 360 doesn't have many exclusives whatsoever. With DX11 out and so many PS3 exclusives this year, I can't see it being the year of the 360 at all. Dated tech is really showing it's limitations and this is being reflected in gameplay. Plus, Arc's due in Fall, whereas Natal just seems to be the eyetoy. With the week on week sales of PS3 beating the 360, I can't see 2010 being a good year for 360 - I'd actually be willing to bet it's going to be it's worst."

 

Ok, so this was a response to someone saying Mass Effect 2 is the best looking game out on consoles now. All right, as painful as this'll be, I'm going to go through all of the comments to see about this. As for games not being able to be completely graphically demanding on Xbox 360: Aren't the GPU's of Xbox 360's and PC's similar? So where is the difference that sets them apart? Please explain. I don't understand platform specs in depth.

 

As for the Xbox 360 and PC: Not everybody can afford a gaming rig. Of course sales aren't going to reach their max potential by being console exclusives, but they can certainly cause sales spikes, as well as contribute to the overall value (i.e. games) of a console when deciding which console to buy. They have more bigger budget exclusives this year than 2009. Will they help to outsell the PS3? I don't know, as the PS3 has AAA games of its own, but we'll see. As for Natal and Arc: I've said what you said to people who think it's a fact that they will turn the tides. Can they turn the tides? Yes, with the right price and software. Natal has more media attention than arc, so IF Microsoft pull it off right, it can be a success. It's speculation, in other words. Nobody's putting it off as a fact.

 

Last but not least, this is where I disagree with Lord Flash and selnor: It has nothing to do with PS3 favoritism. Neither me nor CGI can see what sets this above Uncharted 2 or even Killzone 2 (char. models are where ME2 is ahead of KZ2, though the lighting and environment detail is better in KZ2).
