Umm....these graphics are not even close to GoW III...sorry...

Perhaps on 360. I think it will end up better looking than Uncharted2.

Still, KZ2 I expect to be the most technically impressive game to me. GoW3 seems to be the only game that might change that.

so when this happens to a PS3 game, it is not that bad, but a 360 will suffer... makes sense.

this games graphics doesn't scratch a lick to uncharted 2, I'm sorry started playing uncharted yesterday and yeah even the bullshots of a cut scene in alan wake pale in comparison.

now killzone 2 blows this completely out of the water, but that's besides the point.

the only thing that will even come close on a 360 is crysis 2, but then............ killzone 3 will be announced and gt5 will be released.


on a side note, since when did 360 gamers care at all about graphics?????
I thought it was all about teh sales and teh gameplays right?

nice and predictable graphics thread, ps3 fans saying it isn't, 360 fans saying it is, and a few reasonable people being dragged into a shouting match
first I'll say what I always say, screenshots are a terrible metric for visuals, unless you have proof of a consistent framerate if alan wake runs at a steady 60 fps, wow, if it runs at 15 fps then it is pretty unimpressive.
second the scope comes into play. Are we being given one super high detail face? that doesn't prove anything, remember code veronica and shenmue had very detailed faces, when the faces were the only thing being focused on. We the game have dozens of highly detailed enemies on screen? will it use fixed camera, will it be in open spaces or closed corridors
all of these things should be influential on visuals
other issue screenshots hide like lod, loading, and animation.
anyway the screens look nice but it is pointless for making a point
also it is a tad hypocritical of some of the people in the thread to complain about one side making threads like this when they have numerous animated gifs showing what they believe to be a visual showcase of their console of choice.

Finally someone with some sense in this thread. If anyone want to see at least some small parts in motion:

I bet most people commenting here never even saw this, but whatever.

How dare you?!!

That's an awesome trailer, by the way. Looks very impressive. May can't come sooner. <_<

after reading this thread i think i have figured out what it is all about!

Its about a GAME that comes out in MAY, and is NOT released yet, but suddenly it turned into a Graphics MATCH about PICTURES!

And what do we get if we put all the words in caps into a sentence? A suggestion for what selnor's Sig should be like!

So at the moment PS3 and 360 are capable of making similar looking games, however heres the rub almost every single developer has said there is so much untapped power in the PS3, no one has said that about the 360. With a one year head start and a system built for easy development 360 should be killing PS3 in graphics exclusives right now that is not happening and I don't think Alan Wake as good as it looks it goes to change that.

He was referring to the people from both camps arguing over which unreleased game has the better graphics. To quote him:

"Yeah, some comparisons simply shouldn't be made in the first place. But I'm getting tired of all the graphics hype, and people being hypocrites because they don't want the other console to have great graphics as well. It makes me sick. As for GOW III, you're right that we should wait till we see the final build, but that should be from both sides, not just the ones that give critique, and it often seems as if people are only allowed to hype it, and anyone who does not, is gonna get flamed and insulted etc. even when neither side has seen the final build. If someone is allowed to say it's the best graphics ever, someone else is also allowed to say he's not impressed. And that shouldn't turn into insults and flame wars because opinions differ. But I guess people in here are not mature enough. In this thread we already saw countless of those individuals. I'm not saying any names, because I'm not attacking anyone personally, it's just a general statement.

What also makes me sick is that only exclusives tend to get that hype, even when multi-plats tend to look just as good or better. I hear no one talking about FarCry 2 for example, while it has amazing graphics on the consoles. Or assassin's Creed II. Or my personal favorite, Mirror's Edge. In the end it's all something to brag about one's own console, which is simply not needed in the first place if you're really happy with it. Why all the hate to the other side to defend your console? Downplaying the other console isn't gonna make yours better.. It'll damage the reputation of people who share the same console as you. And I see this happening from one side way more than the other. Which side is which, I'll leave for anyone to decide for themselves, since again their opinion might differ, but the essence of my message has been delivered."

And he's correct.

Also, I agree with you. My response to CommonMan earlier was the same thing. I don't think it's selnor's opinion that's the problem, but rather his history. Like I stated many times, I'm all for honest educated opinions and supporting preferred platforms. But when he takes this approach like he has numerous times before, I just can't commend it. It disappoints me, too, as I really wish it should never come down to this.
