3rd party developers can never get the full potential of the PS3

That doesn't have anything to do with the "the power of the PS3" though.  Gears 2 looks better than Uncharted 1 and Gears 3 looks better than Uncharted 2.

Now let me point something important out here, this has NOTHING to do with comparing 360 vs PS3.  I'm simply using this as an example to the people who run around claiming PS3's true power is far ahead of everyone else and only PS3 exclusives are the best looking games.  To be honest it has nothing to do with the PS3 and everything to do with developers.  Epic has achieved similar graphics on the 360 that Naughty Dog has on the PS3, and even set to surpass Uncharted 2 with Gears 3 from everything I've seen.

In short the reason God of War, Uncharted, and Killzone look so amazing has more to do with extremely talented developers than the system itself.  When you get a talented team together on either console the bar for graphics can be raised.

Much of that is true, but the system's power still plays a pivotal role. The two consoles are similar in power, but not the same, and it shows in their exclusives.

The 360 needs more engines designed to take advantage of it's specs. That's one advantage the PS3 has over it. The talent is crucial though, as you said, because the better a team knows a console (and their basic knowledge of code in general), the better their results will be.

Back on the subject of 3rd party titles, there are some beautiful titles from those devs, but to have the potential to create a God of War or Uncharted-like visual spectacle, they'll need to not only tap further into the available power, but use it as efficiently as they can. Until then, I think Naughty Dog, Guerrilla Games, and Santa Monica will continue to reign supreme with visuals.

A post of beauty. nothing can be added to be honest.

Heres all im saying on this subject. When i see a 3rd party or 360 exclusive game look better then the top sony first party games, then i will always say the PS3 has more in the tank
