Compare them side by side on a +40 inch 1080p television like most people have in their living rooms.

You WILL see a difference, especially when both games are in motion.


Actually most people are going to have about 720 and really, the OP is right. Graphics might look a bit crisper but outside of animation and physics, which truthfully the average gamer isn't really going to notice, the graphical jump isn't that superb. But really that has been the case since the start of the previous generation as graphics themselves have reached a point where gamers and developers know they can't get past the maniquin/plastic look on realistic characters and graphically the only thing developers can do is create gorgeous set pieces and just make it animate cleaner then previously.

But yeah, people claiming the next gen graphics are more revolutionary then any of the previous generations (save the PS2/GC/Xbox era jump to the PS3/360 era levels are kidding and sipping on the industry Kool-aide rather then take in the reality of the situation. Graphically gaming is peaking with its near movie quality effects, expecting more is insane.

If you have played/seen Battlefield 3, Witcher 2, Skyrim with Mods, etc. ON PC you would know what I am talking about.

Seeing these games in real life, on a 21" monitor running at 60 FPS and u just go wow compared to what the current consoles are outputing, next gen consolse will be able to what a high end computer in 2011 could do no problem.

And ur forgetting that console games always end up looking better as time goes on. Look at what OP has posted, games +4 years in the lifecycle against launch titles coming 0 years into the cycle.

These poor screen caps and 1 FPS bullshots are indicative of nothing, you really need to see the difference in person. Nobody buying the PS4 or Xbox One is really going to have 720p televisions btw, 1080p is essentially the standard for the market they are targetting.
