I hate gifs they make a game look so much better then it really does, it hides all the flaws,  crysis 2 looked mind blwong in gifs on 360, when i played the game a week ago its looked horrible. hd pics or bust.


Seriously?  #1 *than #2 screen shots show a LOT less to determine graphics/technical feats than gifs #3 you're obviously trying to skew this in your favor because saying it "hides all the flaws" is not true and the "hiding flaws" thing is 100% equally relevant to still HD pics.

no direct feed captures are 100% what the game looks like, you can check teXture quality/image quality and AA, GIFS are good for checking lighting and getting an idea of how the game looks in motion.

No it's never 100%, the real thing usually look better actually. Streams suffer from limited bandwidth and youtube compressions make the games look worse as well, and the GIFs make them even worse unless you make them into tiny pictures that nobody can watch with sanity from the original but still with tons of missing details and fugly colors(you are basically super sampling doing that though so I guess it's a kind of AA.) In short, game captures generally look like shit unless you are playing it. I'd know this better than you because I've live streamed and captured raw videos for a long time by now. Basically, I'm saying that you are about 1% correct and 99% wrong, everything make the source look worse in general, GIFs are no exception.

 

I have concluded that your eyes are broken and you are not one to talk about graphics and need to go train in PC school.

i'm talking about direct feed captures and  youtube videos make games look better in the sense they hide all the flaws, just watch a video of crysis 2 on youtube or gears of war 3 and play it on your set, the jaggies really are an eye sore, im talking about current gen consoles, even in the poor youtube video of X you can see jaggies every where.
