I was under the impression that its graphics were nothing to write home about through trailers. Some people are saying this over and over again, but i'll know when I have my copy, sometime in the near future.

I can tell you that I have more than enough graphic wise playing Dirt 2 with my  AMD Athon II X4 635 Processor and my ATI Radeon HD 5750 (pretty good but nothing to expensive, just average these days).

That's how far PC graphics are compared to consoles sadly.

For ps3/x360 GT5 looks great, for pc standard hmm it barely keeps it own.

 

We should stop comparing Console games to PC games graphic wise. The last game that truly was able to compete with PC on some level was Uncharted 2. PCs nowadays are one generation ahead. 4gig ram I5 and a 200 Euro graphics card beats consoles already by a lot. 

 

A good PC has 10times the power of an HD Console. PC graphics are slowly becoming better and better and the flaws of Consoles are more and more obvious and the later a game comes in a console life cycle the uglier it seems because pc graphics get better and better with time .

 

TBH PS3 and Xbox360 games are all ugly really ugly to what a good PC has to offer. And the better PC gets the uglier HD Console games are. Uncharted 3 KZ 3 Infamous 2 will be most whats possible on PS3 and the Box already reached its climax for quite a while now.

PS3 starts to get ugly and if consoles wouldnt be so huge then there would already be Pc games which would be technically impossible on consoles and engines which would need more power then a console can deliever.

 

If we look at GT5 as a Console game it is the prettiest Racing game and on par with Forza 3, sometimes its prettier sometimes its uglier. But GT is all about Gameplay anyway which imo is superior. I am not so into Racer but GT always sucks me in like no other Racer.

The specs are one generation ahead, but the games aren't (technically).

Crysis aside there is not 1 truly outstanding looking PC game that can't be done in a similar way on consoles.

I own lots of games on PS3 and 360 and sometimes even the same ones on PC and the difference between multiplat titles is minimal. If you play your console games on a couch a few meters away from the TV I'd say there is no difference at all.

But it seems like PC games are only evolving when the next console generation starts.

really depends on the dev, game play could be the same, but the amount of effects make a big difference in the more recent PC ports. The difference in memory and power really shows when you are looking at details at longer draw distances and I also can't see jaggies at CFAA x8 which is effectively 24x AA, everything is just really sharp and at a much higher res, not to mention the difference in AO is huge too making a lot of games feel completely different. It's only a minimal difference if the PC is meh-ish.
