To be honest theres not alot of difference in the best the PS3 has and the best the 360 has done so far.
1 thing though is it is a shame Microsoft didnt have their first party teams push the 360 like the first party pushed the ps3.
Te first real games to push the 360 were using 3rd party engines. Crysis 1, Crysis 2 and Gears Of War 3 for example. Alan Wake also had some great visual moments especially with the lighting and the weather effects.
So far I have to say Forza Horizon is not only the best visuals on 360 but the best visuals in its racing field bar none on any console.
Also from what Ive seen of the first 20 mins of Halo 4 that looks like it will be the 360's best visuals by some way. Possibly best on console. But I dont want to turn this into that thread here on VGC. It only ends with an invasion of the Microsoft forums. |
I think the reason why Sony spent so much money on graphics this gen is because they had to. MS felt no pressure to push graphics, but Sony had to justify the PS3 to potential buyers. Halo 4 could be the most expensive Xbox 360 game MS has evern funded and I'd be willing to bet that it doesn't even come close to what Sony spent pushing their in house devs to get as much as they could out of the PS3. If MS had to they could have pushed and gotten the small bump that games like Uncharted 2,3, Killzone 2,3, etc. benefited from. But MS didn't need to.

You have to have a Naughty Dog to have an Uncharted, luckily for Microsoft thats the company they are scouting for 343.

Naughty Dog needed the truckloads of cash from Sony to create Uncharted 2 and 3 and the upcoming Last of Us. Without the money for R&D, Naughty Dog would have done what most developers do, use Unreal Engine. Nuaghty Dog is talented, no doubt about it, but other developers have tons of talent too. The difference is Sony needed Naughty Dog to hit a home run with Uncharted 2. Sony needed Uncharted 2 to look better than everything else at the time. Sony was willing to pay what ever it takes to get that. Naughty Dog pulled it off thanks to that money. Most publishers are willing to have good enough graphics instead of paying for outstanding graphics.
