Bullshots and trailer screens aren't proof of anything ^


Yep, every shot I've seen posted in this thread has more AA than a Pixar movie when every PS3 game I've witnessed in real life has little to no AA.


Again, since you obviously didn't read the comments or played the game, the God of War III screens are IN-GAME.

Did you take the screenshots yourself? I don't know what kind of magic PS3 enhancing HD TV  you have, but my HD TV doesn't show God of War III looking as AA smooth and crisp as the shots show in this thread. 

Devs often release what they call "In-Game" screens, and while they were in fact rendered on the console they often have more AA than the actual game will have when you play it. It happens all the time. For example "The Last of Us" is going to be full of jaggies just like all the other games this generation but you wouldn't know by looking at the "In-Game" screens released by Naughty Dog so far. It's what's called "Bullshots" and everybody does it. The internet is full of "in-game" screen shots that look far better than games look when we get to play them.

I'm not saying the game looks bad. But this thread is full of bullshots and in some posts flat out CGI.

You're a special breed. Again, the ONLY CG in this thread are those Final Fantasy pictures, not posted by me. Does a picture look better than I think it should? Does it look better than on my tv? Then I guess everybody posting these images must be adding AA to all their photos in post-processing or something. Seriously, you've outed me, it's a big conspiracy among PS3 gamers worldwide. We take hundreds of shots in-game and then add AA to them and touch them up to look better than they really are. Videos too! Have you seen those fake playthroughs of Uncharted and God of War? Months of work, trust me. 

Here, have an in-game picture of how I feel about your post. (Your post, that is, not you. I'm sure you're a fine person)

Now that's a very good example of an actual in-game GoW3 screen shot. See how it has jaggies all of the place, low res textures, and some low polygon models here and there, for example look at all the straight edges everywhere.

The shots I was complaining about look way better than this one because they were either "bullshots" or at the very least cut-scene shots using non-in-game models, textures, and such.  But, I doubt that because even the cutscenes in GoW3 don't have the level of AA those pics had. It's not a conspiracy by gamers, it's the devs and publishers. They always put out better looking shots than the actual game. It's just like how the pictures of McDonalds burgers in the menu look better than the one you're served. A company is always going to show you the best possible product to convince you it's good.

I've just learned to accept that pictures on the internet don't always represent the real game's level of graphical fidelity. I'm not blaming you or anyone else posting pics. You and the rest didn't capture the images so there's no way to know where they came from. I could go out and find "in-game" shots of Halo Reach that look so good you'd swear they where CGI or "in-game" shots of Gears of War 3 or even 2 that compare to everything in this thread. But like most of the pics posted here, they would be the very best the devs could muster and don't necessarily represent the quality of the retail game running on end user hardware.

BTW, I play PS3 with HDMI in 1080p. This pic looks like what I see when I play the game, the previous shots don't.

Here, have a gallery of over 300 GoW 3 images from the same source. http://imgur.com/a/wweVs

 These include the 'bullshot' images and the 'real' images, by your reckoning. Wonder why someone would be so crazy as to mix 'em all up. Where are the jaggies here compared to the other in-game pictures? Protip: 'bullshots' of in-game scenes using higher-res textures than real ones? Are you high? So I post one picture where you can clearly see lower-than-average quality textures as we are zoomed in, and lets face it no game has 100% great textures, and suddenly VOILA! All 300 other images are discredited.

Get real.

And no, you don't play the game at HD 1080p. The game runs at 720p and upscales. And textures don't suddenly change because of the resolution you play the game at, either.
