Also, i would like to add...

Uncharted 2's "Train level" is the best looking thing i have seen come from any Video Game.

By far.

The Train level? I thought it looked kind of ugly compared to the rest of the game.

The most beautiful part is the ice cave...by far.

Hmm... I dunno. I need to play through it again soonish...

All i know is, Uncharted 2 is filled with amazing visuals.

I think the three will achieve better graphics, even if it's just slightly better.

Why? Because the PC hardware needed to achieve that kind of visuals is (relatively) cheap by now. And it's even more feasible when you consider that all three consoles will be released in two years from now.

You think a $500 GPU is cheap? Because that's what's needed to run this quality with playable framerates.

Visually yes the next gen consoles should be close to CG quality , avatar quality graphics. I think the main thing will be the physics and destructible environments we will get to experience. I'm expecting a huge leap and quite possibly the last round of consoles. After that we will be looking at digital distribution...no need for new hardware anymore.

First off those are pictures of a modded Crysis. It's using the Real Life-sis TOD mod and Rygels High Texture Mod...

Crysis does not look that good on its own and requires the mods to look that good...

I mean it still does look good on it's own, but not as good at the images the OP posted.



CURRENTLY PLAYING:  Warframe, Witcher 2

Let's say we're aiming for 1920x1080 with 4xAA (I think 2xAA is enough at that res, but that's just me... I'm blind) and 30 frames (playable as long as it's stable). A $289 Radeon HD5850 can make it. I know the ideal is 60 fps, but most console gamers are ok with 30... and many say that they don't notice framerate drops or that they can't tell the difference between 30 and 60...

Also, I said relatively.

Yes, but it's the Crysis engine.

Now do you have any idea of the FPS people get with these mods on a high-end computer?

I agree it's relatively cheap, I was just playing with you a lil.

And I agree about 2xAA and 30fps being perfectly enough to run a game smoothly and look good enough.

But... a HD 5850 is not enough to run what I meant, namely a modded Crisis that makes it look as beautiful as the screens in the OP.

Btw, is that "very high" settings in that test? I can't see it says that clearly anywhere.
