Yep, and if the PS4 has similar structure (eventhough they said they want to make it easier to understand, I'm expecting it to remain the same for some things) then it's gonna rock right from the start. The gap between PS3's and X360's exclusives concerning graphics keeps on widening (until Gears 3 maybe) even multiplat games (AC:B for example looks better than Fable 3) have better graphics than some X360 exclusives. The lack of first party support will be troublesome for Microsoft, Sony on the other hand can offer good games even without thrid party exclusives. The difference between thrid party exclusives and first party, is that first party are completely dedicated to the console, while third party are offently using multiplat engines, and are developing another game in parallel.

The gap between the graphics from the PS3 and 360 keeps growing? I just played GT5, and it does not look any different then Forza 3, which came out a year ago. Sure in car is slightly better, but environments are better in Forza.

Fable 3 is not a graphical game, PS3 has Mod Nation Racers, and that looks the same.

The only game, IMHO that looks a level above the PS3/360 average, is Killzone 2 (not 3, 3D gaming has ruined the graphics in that game). Gears of War 2 won best graphics in 2008 just as frequently as Metal Gear Solid 4, and since then I haven't seen any games (other then Killzone 2) that look better. Sure Heavy Rain looks good, but no better then Mass Effect 2. God of War 3 is no more graphcially powerful then Alan Wake, and really after Killzone 2 there is a massive tie between 360 and PS3 games.

As for this 1st/3rd party comment, it hasn't really afffected 360 sales in the past, why would it start now? I also think MS will likely create or buy more in house studios next gen, they haven't really used Rare since they aquired it

WOW, that statement leads me to belive  that even if PS3 ends up creating a game surpassing crysis visual you would still deny ps3 doesn't have graphical advantage.

seriously if you want to keep beliving that be my guess Im not the one fooling my self.

I finished god of war,Uncharted,KZ2,gears 1 and 2  and have Mass effect 2(PC)  along with Metro2033, and yes best graphic heavy exclusive ps3 has to offer >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>360.

Wake isn't even HD so comparing it to GOW3 is  a joke let alone saying GOW3 isn't any better looking.

The graphic advantage is very minor. That's the problem. Gears 3 and Rage will be on par with Uncharted 2 and KZ3, and I don't see anything in the PS3 future that surpasses UC2 in graphics. UC3 will most likely be more of the same. Naughty Dog already said they pushed the PS3 graphic ability about as far as it will go with UC2. GoW3 looked as good as KZ2. The fact still remains the 360 is capable of producing the same type of graphics the PS3 has shown. Many developers have said this. They just haven't pushed the 360 to it limits yet.

Everyone says alot of thing, but is having hard time proving them. Being on par with UC2 x) Well we'll see about that.Gow 3 looking the same as KZ2, cool now we compare Shooters and Action games. Yayy!!!

GoW2 looked the same as KZ2. GoW 3 looks better then KZ2, definitely. To me the slight graphical differences is pretty meaningless. Like I said, it's very minor. I care more about the gameplay, story and how it gets the gamers immersed in the action.

This is why I said that there is a list of games competing for best graphics. Some people here strongly beleive PS3 exclusives look better then 360 exclusives, to the point where they write bolded messages telling other people off and posting pictures of 360 games like Gears 2 and then saying not to compare with the Killzone 2 because in picture Gears 2 will look better.

Seriously, the graphical difference between the leading HD games is not much, just look at all the different posts people are making

  • Killzone 2 is the only standout, then there are a bunch of equally graphically powerful PS3/360 games
  • Uncharted 2 is the best, but Gears 3, Rage, and Killzone 3 will be on par, GoW3, Gears 2, and Killzone 2 are next up
  • God of War 3, U2, and KZ2 look the same and look better then Mass Effect and Gears

Basically, everyone is saying Killzone 2, Uncharted 2, GoW3, Gears 2, and ME2 look the same, just to different people, different games stand out. In the end they are all roughly the same.

Now lets just stop with this idiocrasy, no one is proving anything, and PC gaming trumps all. The small differences between KZ2, GoW3, U2, ME2, and Gears 2 are nothing major, and definatly don't factor into peoples considerations when buying a PS3/360. It's the games that matter most.

Michael-5 i'm not gonna argue anything with you, whenever something is Sony related you are pessimistic, and I could even predict what you were about to say, it was even fun. But god I couldn't refrain myself from LMFAOing when I read that Killzone 2 is the only game that raise the gap. Seriously dude, I don't want to get banned, if you could stop commenting on what I say, it would be quite appreciated. I had a hell of a day, and I don't want to talk with someone who talks nonsense and who even dare to say that Forza 3 looks the same as GT5. Envrionnment looks better, no it looks slightly better, and I'm concentrated on my car when I drive, not the trees "fack, the trees looks kind of strange today, I can't drive" They choses to focus on what's important in a racing game, cars. Change your TV or do something about your eyes or your bias.

 

You took Modnation Racers, are you aware that it's not even first party? See you're not even paying attention to all the things I said and how they're linked between them. As for Heavy Rain, it's not first party, yet it rocks so much. And it can't be compared with Mass Effect 2 which is awesome but in its genre and in its own way (eventhough graphically HR is better for obvious reasons that only people who understand where the difference between them lies and what it implies), these kinds of comprison will always amaze me -_-.

God of War 3 no better than Alan Wake? Call me Sony fanboy I don't care, people here will agree that this is total b*. The only thing amazing about Alan Wake is the lighting effect. The rest is nothing to be amazed by, I'm too lazy to find a video of Alan Wake when he was running and the camera suddenly went over him, and I paused there by chance, and saw his knee while he was walking, and then I laughed, it was the same as GTA4 when things looks great but only from some angles, but are triangluar or whatever you want. But I don't want to talk about that right now.

So please, bye, don't comment on my post anymore, I have nothing to say to you.

Oooo Angry post.

Only 200 of the cars in GT5 look better, the rest look sub Forza 2 quality in GT5.

Heavy Rain and Mod Nation Racers are still published by Sony, just like Gears is by MS, and I don't care about who publishes what, I only said most 360/PS3 HD games look about the same, which is true. How is Heavy Rain better then Mass Effect 2 graphically? I've beaten both games, I really don't see a difference.

It amazes me that just because someone disagrees with you, you go on and insult them. Why can't someone like you just understand that there are people in the world who view things differently. Everyone has their own opinion, please don't insult others, it just makes your debate weaker.

Think about it this may, My initial comment was about the Forza franchise growing due to numerous reviews which put Forza 3 above GT5, then someone like you came in and made this about a PS3/360 graphical comparission. This tells me that someone like you is lacks confidence, and is trying to tell people that PS3 is better for whatever reason. Your trying to compensate because the world doesn't share your PS3 > 360 view, and thats sad because it ruins threads like this.

So please if it's not related to GT5 or Forza, leave it out of this thread. Your free to make a thread about how PS3 is awesome, but not here, and try not to be so critical of MS. I'm not pessimistic about PS3, your just angry because I have a view about the PS3 which you really don't like, and guess what, this is the world.

The PS3 has been too hard to develop for. That's why it took so long for Sony to bring out tit's first party. Imagine if games like inFamous, Killzone 2, The Last Guardian, Gran Turismo 5, etc had came earlier. By the time the PS3 got it's exclusives coming, it was too late because the 360 had already made it's name

MY point is that next gen, if sony gets it's first party out early, then MS will be in trouble. It all depends how easy the PS4 will be to develop for. Which I think will be easy. Sony also said that the PS4 will come out after the 720 which means that it will most likely be more powerful.

So Sony's job is to get a pretty good lineup(that includes GT6) to show the PS4's power over the 720. Price will be a factor but not that big of one.

Imo price will be the biggest factor, the only feature that could justify the initial pricetag of PS3 was the BluRay feature, a BluRay that was, at the time top of the range and could be updated via software updates instead of having to purchase a new player every time a better version came out? That was the selling point. If PS4 comes out with just as, or even more ridiculous a price tag than PS3, then it'll be "domed" from the start. Don't know about you, but I personally expected PS3 to dominate this generation, and it's still to overtake a considerably lower spec console, 4 years into the launch. Unfortunately I can't comment on the quality of PS3 graphics as a friend that has a PS3 refuses to purchase anymore games for it since he got a 360 in June.


I strongly disagree. I believe games will be more important than price. But we'll agree to disagree. I doubt the PS4 will be that expensive anyway considering there probably won't be some new multimedia being used (like Blu Ray). Either way gamers are more important than Price.

Crysis and Mass Effect 2 on PC >>> anything on PS3/360, just want to say that off the bat. I may not notice little graphical differences between Gears/MGS4 because I've seen a lot better, and I don't live in a dream world where little differences in graphics mean anything. The only major difference is PS3/360 > Wii, and there are a handful of games that stand above the normal (Gears, Killzone, MGS, Heavy Rain, Mass Effect, etc).

If you play Mass Effect 2 on PC, you clearly don't play it on max, and no God of War 3 does not look like anything special, Mass Effect 2 on 360 looks better. Killzone 2 is the only standout about the PS3/360 HD crowd. Lol God of War doesn't look that much better then Batman, so don't get all edgy.

seriously batman? WTF...I finished that game a couple of times already and the game aint got shit on god of war 3 graphically, and Masseffect on PC you might be right as my video card isn't high end but good enought to play it on high setting with lower resolution than 1080p.

anyways your opinion lets leave it at that.

Telling me that I'm reacting like this because someone disagrees with me and that I should make a thread about how awesome PS3 is only shows that he's not getting what I say. I'm reacting like this because I have enough of seeing him commenting on everything Sony related with b* arguments. But that may be just me...

I have nothing against the fact that everyone has its own opinion. But the way he's writing his ideas gives me the feel that they are the only truth on earth. And I'm not only talking about Gow3 Batman comparison, but also about UC2 being matched by an X360 game. I love the X360, I don't own one because I don't have the money/time but I'm having alot of fun with a friend of mine on Halo/L4D/COD/Fable.

So I saw them running on HDTV, I saw my PS3 games running on HDTV and there's no way you can compare UC2 to something on X360, same for GOW3. It's only common sense, I dunno maybe my friends (X360 hardcore fans but still admit that PS3 exclusives have better grahics, generally) and me should see a practician or be treated for eye disease. So it's kind of annoying seeing someone posting things like "KZ2 is the only game that stands out on PS3" and make it look like the only possible truth on Earth.

And I'm making these facts appear as the only truth on earth because it is the truth, seriously, UC2/KZ2/GOW3 are still unmatched, and I can't understand how people can still argue about that. Maybe some things are not perfect in these games, but overall they have better graphics... Or you just played one of them. Sometimes I try to understand and see if I'm not mistaken because I may have missed something, but here  for things like that, the only thing you need to do is to open your eyes, and see all these games running on an HDTV... Telling me GT5 is nothing special because Forza has better trees..., I didn't know the game was about analyzing evironment.

I strongly disagree. I believe games will be more important than price. But we'll agree to disagree. I doubt the PS4 will be that expensive anyway considering there probably won't be some new multimedia being used (like Blu Ray). Either way gamers are more important than Price.

A few months back I read something, I think on VGCharts, which was a questionaire given to a substantial PS3 owning audience asking people why they bought their PS3. Price, Blu-Ray functionality, and Games were the 3 strongestest determining factors, all weighing in at about 60%, then it dropped off to smaller factors like free internet, and having browser. I'm not going to go searching for the article, so take it as you feel, but both Price and Games makes a big impact on which console to purchase.

I think for me, they are the 2 sole factors. Games determine the quality of the system, and price determines if the games are that much better, that it's worth getting.

I have nothing against the fact that everyone has its own opinion. But the way he's writing his ideas gives me the feel that they are the only truth on earth. And I'm not only talking about Gow3 Batman comparison, but also about UC2 being matched by an X360 game. I love the X360, I don't own one because I don't have the money/time but I'm having alot of fun with a friend of mine on Halo/L4D/COD/Fable.

So I saw them running on HDTV, I saw my PS3 games running on HDTV and there's no way you can compare UC2 to something on X360, same for GOW3. It's only common sense, I dunno maybe my friends (X360 hardcore fans but still admit that PS3 exclusives have better grahics, generally) and me should see a practician or be treated for eye disease. So it's kind of annoying seeing someone posting things like "KZ2 is the only game that stands out on PS3" and make it look like the only possible truth on Earth.

And I'm making these facts appear as the only truth on earth because it is the truth, seriously, UC2/KZ2/GOW3 are still unmatched, and I can't understand how people can still argue about that. Maybe some things are not perfect in these games, but overall they have better graphics... Or you just played one of them. Sometimes I try to understand and see if I'm not mistaken because I may have missed something, but here  for things like that, the only thing you need to do is to open your eyes, and see all these games running on an HDTV... Telling me GT5 is nothing special because Forza has better trees..., I didn't know the game was about analyzing evironment.

You critisize me for saying that my point of view is followed by a large group of people, then you say things like "it's common sence that..." Since when did this become established? I have a PS3 and a 360, and I have more PS3 owning friends ten X-Box owning friends, and most of them admit the graphical different isn't that different. PS3 and 360 dodifferent things graphically better. Killzone 2 for example looks a lot better then Gears 2, but in a still screenshot, that might not be the case. It's because Gears 2 has higher quality textures, where the Killzone 2 just has more things running on screen at once. These are just the limitations of the consoles.

Your opinion is not the truth. Just because you and your friends think one way, doesn't mean everyone else does. There are numerous reviews, and articles online that put ME2 graphics above U2, and vice versa. Please don't be so condescending, thats just uncalled for.

I never said Forza has better trees, I said it has better environments. The city levels in GT5 look terrible. When I first put in GT5, I was expecting the graphics to blow me away, but in the end, the game was not that different on a graphical level then Forza 3. Interior car detail on GT5 is better, but then Forza has over 500 cars with an in car view, not just 200, so it's give take. Your mocking me for comparing Forza to GT5 in graphics, but this whole debate is about comparing games graphically, I don't understand you.

Crysis and Mass Effect 2 on PC >>> anything on PS3/360, just want to say that off the bat. I may not notice little graphical differences between Gears/MGS4 because I've seen a lot better, and I don't live in a dream world where little differences in graphics mean anything. The only major difference is PS3/360 > Wii, and there are a handful of games that stand above the normal (Gears, Killzone, MGS, Heavy Rain, Mass Effect, etc).

If you play Mass Effect 2 on PC, you clearly don't play it on max, and no God of War 3 does not look like anything special, Mass Effect 2 on 360 looks better. Killzone 2 is the only standout about the PS3/360 HD crowd. Lol God of War doesn't look that much better then Batman, so don't get all edgy.

Have you played GoW3? It clearly looks much better than Batman and imo better than ME 2 too.

It's Michael-5 you're talking to guys you're only losing your time... he's trying to make it look like he has a different point of view, which is true, but making it look like it's shared by alot of people is laughable.

Telling me that I'm reacting like this because someone disagrees with me and that I should make a thread about how awesome PS3 is only shows that he's not getting what I say. I'm reacting like this because I have enough of seeing him commenting on everything Sony related with b* arguments. But that may be just me...


I know,that batman>>>>god of war 3 graphics thing is such bullshit that sometimes I think he's just messing with us or played a different GOW and batman game than the rest of us did.....but hey its his opinion lets leave him be.

@Pezus, I know GoW3 looks better then Batman, noticably too, but the difference isn't that crazy, just noticable. I said earlier Killzone 2 is the only PS3 game with graphics that standout, but after that there is a massive tie between graphical quality on both the PS3/360 front. This is what has gotten people rattled up a bit. Is it that hard to accept that some people view games like Mass Effect 2, and Gears of War 2 on the same graphical level as Uncharted 2, God of War 3, and Metal Gear Solid 4? I don't think so...

@4k, Stop being condescending, your opinion is not the the general concensus, no matter how much you want it to be, and neither is mine. I just don't see a difference between games like ME2 and GoW3, and if I had to pick which one looked better ME2 would win (Killzone 2 is still the best this gen). Maybe I just play games for fun, or maybe it's because I've seen a lot higher resolution gaming on PC's before, but I just plain disagree with your opinion that PS3 exclusives look noticably better then 360 exclusives. Don't get all rattled up about it, this isn't bs, this is my honest opinion, and I don't think you have any right to look down on me just because you have a pre-conceived notion that PS3 is more graphically powerful then the 360.

Now lets stick to the topic thread at hand? Enough with these insecurities about graphics.

@Prophecy, I never said Batman was above GoW3, so why are you trying to put words in my mouth, and then over-exaggerate what I say by saying batman>>>>GoW3? This post was purly done to insult me, and if you can't debate or accept my opinion, thats fine, but leave it at that.
