There are very few 360 exclusive games that have close to the same budget as some of the PS3 games used to showcase the system's graphic prowess. For example the only one that really stands out is Halo 3 and a significant amount of the work that went into that was into the AI and other things that can't be seen when simply looking at graphics. Or you have something like Forza in which the developers have to have 2 or more versions out in the same time that Gran Turismo is basically releasing one. Then there are games in which the resources are split among 360 and PC and even though they are similar there's still a significant amount of resources that go into making sure it works with a gazillion PC configurations, etc.

1. Halo 3 was a modified Halo 2 engine, not developed from the ground up.  Fable II was a new engine that was built but not fully matured, it was still very pretty though so not sure what you're issue is (also Fable 3 should really show that engine off properly).  Forza 3 looks amazing, the new engine is a huge step.  Banjo Kazooie is a again a pretty game and uses advanced techniques such as tesselation but is hardly the sort of game that will be on contention for graphics king.  Too Human was a multiplatform engine, same with Dead Rising.

What is your point exactly, none of those games had 3-4 year development cycles and huge budgets?

2. He has seen the game in action I gather from what I read, you haven't, which instantly makes his opinion far more valid than yours on the subject.

@CGI - I don't know why we bother posting any articles that post the 360 in a good light, there is too many Sony trolls on this board and the mods will do nothing yet again.

Does this happens often on the Sony threads? Do Xbox fans go there and start invading, derailing their topic? or Sony fans are getting color blind.

Microsoft forum= GREEN not Red .                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           example : BlazerManZQ8 said: The Future is BLU. Was that necessary?  I think we need babysitters in here instead of Mods

OT.  I think the best Unreal Engine 3 can do: Gears 2, Splinter Cell:C and ME2 which by the way they all look gorgeous but ME2 and Gears 2 could be in the top 5 best graphics this gen, and obviously Epic will raise the bar with Gears 3 as they know how to optimize it best .                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Its about time to show what new engines can do when they are built with the Xbox 360 in mind ..                                  

Yes, have you seen waron troll on every Sony thread what about Raz? if no then you shud lurk on sony forums if you find time just to see for your self.......=.=
