Anyone saying that Red Dead or any other already-released PS360 open-world game looks better... I just don't know what to say.

The Last of Us and Halo 4 are a faulty comparision too. Try to keep comparisons in remotely the same genre, people.

Though I must admit, both games use 2D foliage quite a bit. However, this is common in most open-world titles with a non-tree focus.

you just proved my point, the lighting in red dead is dynamic, the lighting is in X is static, RDR has a huge advantage in lighting, and red dead uses mostly alpha textues on its foilage,unlike x. 

The trade-off is that there is much more foliage in X than Red Dead. Either way, the 2D foliage does nothing to detract from the experience.

As for dynamic lighting, I'll take a look at some more screenshots for comparision, but X does have quite good shadows. It doesn't appear that every object in Red Dead has a shadow, even, unless my eyes are playing tricks on me. Or it could be that since X's foliage isn't as sparse, it's easier to hide a lack of a shadow.
