Do you think the PS3 peaked in graphics?

Honestly, I have a hard time telling the difference at certain parts:

And like Player1x3 said: ND are very likely to improve even further than Uncharted 3 which is a crazy achievement in of itself. I'm anxious to see how they will wow me after shit like:

The resolutions on those pictures are tiny and only 720P. What would happen if you grabbed that image and stretched it across say... A 50" or larger 1080P panel? Suddenly, it's going to suddenly have allot of jagged edges, it already looks like molasses at my resolution of 3240x1920. (3x 1920x1080 panels in portrait, can do landscape at 5760x1080).

For example:
Origional:


Upscaled to 1080P then cut a chunk out for comparison:



Most of the pictures though that are floating around are from the devs themselves.
And here is an example of what they did.





Now, if you're happy with that kind of image quality and think it's the "best" then you are sorely missing out. (When compared to a good PC)

As another example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3P9Y-at_JI

If you look at the fences, the crates etc' in the opening sequence, there is a significant amount of aliasing, it looks horrible.
The shadows are no where near as defined as those in the pictures (They are blurry and have artifacts.)
Then if you look at the textures on some characters and objects and even parts of the ground it's low resolution and blurry.

"it already looks like molasses at my resolution of 3240x1920." What's the point here when most of them settle for 1080p panel display and that too a game designed to play at 720p? And for the E3 build and Final build differences, they did downgrade textures and sampling for 3D, but not to such a level which almost resembles the multiplayer character models. Even then I would say those are just images. As far as I have known and played the game, the images correponding to Final build do not represent them. I'm assigning you to make original screen shots from your PS3 immediately, to disapprove my comment, since you took the liberty in posting your molasses and that final build images. Here's atleast some of the in-game random snaps on android phone cam. They look like pre-rendered cutscenes.
