So the 360 is maxed out, eh?

What a difference lighting can make. GeoW2 is still one of the best looking games this gen, but its obvious there was still room for improvement. Looking great.

When KZ2 released everyone pretty much agreed on here that Gears 2 had better textures, but KZ2 won in lighting and effects. Alan Wake has shown impressive lighitng, shadows and draw distance with more room to spare. Hopefully this makes Epic step up and implement at least Global illumination with vaster environments like Alan Wake. But they have to use post processing effects. It makes a game look snazzier.

There is always gonna be room for improvements. The room gets smaller every year...but there is always a formula to do it better. Its as Guerrilla games says that they are maxing the SPUS load, but next year they will finf a code to improve that.

 

Its great to see that we are getting better quality games every year.
