I don't think anyone is denying this is CGI, it's pretty obvious. It's damn good CGI though, easily the best looking thing I have seen on my TV.

That's old compressed CGI by the way, this is better.

I know it's CGI. xD Not all consoles can render it that good though.

That is really pretty!

there is still more power to tap out of the PS3.

this is real time on ps3

 

And yet they say its only 50 percent to what the final will look like.

If critics and medias game of the year graphic awards are to be taken into account, then fuck yes. PS3 has had the awards from 2008-2011, thats 4 consecutive years! This year is probably the only year where the award will go to a multiplat due to the lack of exclusitivity only to be redeemed in 2013 with an overhaul of The last of us, God of War IV, potentially Killzone 4?, The last guardian etc.

 

I made a topic a while back when Uncharted 3 was practically given all awards for graphics all around the web. It went something like this:

------------------------------
In 2008, Solid Snake sat his ass down on the throne from winning most graphics GOTY.


"War has changed... nowadays, corporations are all aiming towards one mission, one goal;
The graphics throne."


^Snake you be smokin'!

------------------------------
In 2009, The Helghast took the throne.. Only to be overthrowned by Nathan Drake in the same year! Even the ISA couldn't accomplish that!


"Oh cruel world.. why.. WHY?!"

^Ill tell you why bruv'

"I would like to dedicate this win to all the dogs back at home who taught me that dreams are worth fighting for!..
Shout outs to my man Aldro!"

^Oh Drake, you funny!

------------------------------
In 2010, Kratos came with a bloody vengeance. No not Revengeance as in Rising, but with a Vengeance. It was looking grim for Nate and all things must come to an end.


"Why ... I am so cold... sooo cold. Next time I am going to someplace warm.."

^Yes you are Drake.. YES YOU ARE! But in all seriousness, give it up for the biggest SOB (son of a bitch) in the gaming industry... KRATOS... KRAAAYTOOOS.. WHERE IS THE MUSIC.. (No I won't embed it, ill spare you this time for reading this far!)


"THIS IS SPARTA!"

^Yes Kratos... yes.

------------------------------

And here we are!

In 2011, The Helghast re-debuted and what seemed to be a safe win.. was infact NOT true.

"THIS IS YOUR FAULT JORHAN STAHL!

 

THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS H. CHRIST ..I mean NATHAN DRAKE turned the tides yet again.


"Here are some vacation photos of my journey back onto the throne. Enjoy my game gals."

------------------------------

Welcome home Nathan, you have been missed!

Bullshots and trailer screens aren't proof of anything ^


Yep, every shot I've seen posted in this thread has more AA than a Pixar movie when every PS3 game I've witnessed in real life has little to no AA.


Again, since you obviously didn't read the comments or played the game, the God of War III screens are IN-GAME.

Did you take the screenshots yourself? I don't know what kind of magic PS3 enhancing HD TV  you have, but my HD TV doesn't show God of War III looking as AA smooth and crisp as the shots show in this thread. 

Devs often release what they call "In-Game" screens, and while they were in fact rendered on the console they often have more AA than the actual game will have when you play it. It happens all the time. For example "The Last of Us" is going to be full of jaggies just like all the other games this generation but you wouldn't know by looking at the "In-Game" screens released by Naughty Dog so far. It's what's called "Bullshots" and everybody does it. The internet is full of "in-game" screen shots that look far better than games look when we get to play them.

I'm not saying the game looks bad. But this thread is full of bullshots and in some posts flat out CGI.

You're a special breed. Again, the ONLY CG in this thread are those Final Fantasy pictures, not posted by me. Does a picture look better than I think it should? Does it look better than on my tv? Then I guess everybody posting these images must be adding AA to all their photos in post-processing or something. Seriously, you've outed me, it's a big conspiracy among PS3 gamers worldwide. We take hundreds of shots in-game and then add AA to them and touch them up to look better than they really are. Videos too! Have you seen those fake playthroughs of Uncharted and God of War? Months of work, trust me. 

Here, have an in-game picture of how I feel about your post. (Your post, that is, not you. I'm sure you're a fine person)

EDIT, found a better one <3

DaFuQ arent here any Killzone Pics?

 

 


you should post pics from Killzone3. Killzone 2 still looks amazing but I find screenshots to not do the game justice. It looks great in motion but not so much with screens.

absolutely, i was blown by KZ2's graphic when i first played it, but i thought this game needs to be mentioned* when it comes to comparing graphics. =]  (*or the series itself, KZ3 looks even better of course)



I'm a Foreigner, and as such, i am grateful for everyone pointing out any mistakes in my english posted above - only this way i'll be able to improve. thank you!

the ps3 wins the battle, but my opinion that gears of war series does show the 360 can go toe to toe with the ps3 for graphics . uncharted 2,3, god of war 3, killzone 3 show the ps3 is a beast at graphics. overall each owner of the 360 or ps3 , should be happy with there system.

Anyway... they're really beautiful. No harm done really...

Ignoring the PC is like saying England is the best country as long as you don't count the US.

No it's not, PC is constantly evolving and is always state of the art, it's not fair to count it in comparisons like this. How good a game looks is dependant on the hardware for the most part.


That's a weakness for the home consoles. The graphics king title belongs to the system that has the best graphics, that would be the PC. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. 

And of course going by that logic the PS3 would look better than the X360. Since it came out a year later. So it's not fair to compare them. 


Nope, the title would go to the supercomputers used by the army, scientists and some specialised companies.  Not PCs (personal computers).

See how this makes any sense?

Bravo.

Now that's a very good example of an actual in-game GoW3 screen shot. See how it has jaggies all of the place, low res textures, and some low polygon models here and there, for example look at all the straight edges everywhere. You may have to right click and "view image" to see it because shrinking an image down to fit in a forum thread usualy hides the uglies.

The shots I was complaining about look way better than this one because they were either "bullshots" or at the very least cut-scene shots using non-in-game models, textures, and such.  But, I doubt that because even the cutscenes in GoW3 don't have the level of AA those pics had. It's not a conspiracy by gamers, it's the devs and publishers. They always put out better looking shots than the actual game. It's just like how the pictures of McDonalds burgers in the menu look better than the one you're served. A company is always going to show you the best possible product to convince you it's good.

I've just learned to accept that pictures on the internet don't always represent the real game's level of graphical fidelity. I'm not blaming you or anyone else posting pics. You and the rest didn't capture the images so there's no way to know where they came from. I could go out and find "in-game" shots of Halo Reach that look so good you'd swear they where CGI or "in-game" shots of Gears of War 3 or even 2 that compare to everything in this thread. But like most of the pics posted here, they would be the very best the devs could muster and don't necessarily represent the quality of the retail game running on end user hardware.

BTW, I play PS3 with HDMI in 1080p. This pic looks like what I see when I play the game, the previous shots don't.
