Forums - Gaming - I think it's safe to say the PS3 is the definitive graphics king for this gen

1. To be honest, after all this "thecellwillchangetheworld"-marketing crap before and during the launch of the PS3 Sony should be ashamed, that there is even an debate.

2. The PS3 definitely has the more diverse exclusives, which in some cases have a technical edge over the ones from the Xbox360, but they are still comparable and not on a next level.

3. I have both consoles and playing on an 55" LCD FULL HD TV. In many cases I prefer the XBOX360 due to AA.
The jaggies of the PS3 in many titles are a really turnoff if you play on 50" and above.

4. In the end both consoles are to close to one another to call for a glorious victory, which is as I stated in the beginning a really shame for Sony.

Please excuse my bad english. It´s not my mother language.

Everything agreed, but the word "shame" doesn't account well for your statements. If u can't admit wholly PS3 holds an edge, don't use the derogatory way atleast.



So, after over 280 posts, have we resolved a conclusion between the parties?

...or are we back where we all started from?

you seem very very very biased, and seem to have no arguement other than the games you like more have better graphics, basically because you like them more, as if you are wishing for them to have better graphics. if have lurked on this site long enough to see your anti everything ps3, and its really no use arguing with you because you change the argument so much. you are disingenous and back track. you act as if you word is fact, and then attack people for their opinions and say it not a fact. this is silly i didnt want to get involved with this because i love both systems, and have many games for both. and i dont even like gran turismo. but what ever, you have yoor (slanted)opinion based off nothing, i have my opinion based off common opinion and analysi of games but whatever.

edit: and that link proves nothing, those were e3 awards nearly a year before KZ2 was released, and just before Gears 2 was released, one had finished graphics, the other pre-alpha. furthermore Gears didnt even win best graphics for that year by ign, MGS4 did. so again you have no footing in your argument, you stand on nothing, other than bias

THIS!

Seriously, It's like we are here giving some information about whats been going on in the last year(s) from a critic and media standpoint and he's all:
But so this isnt as good as that because this one came 3rd and 4th, won in e3, they look similar to me!! BTW FORZA AND GT ARE BEST.


..?! It was a LONG time ago since I saw this amount if ignorance in someone. For 4 years, PS3 exclusives have dominated awards in the graphics departement. Thats all im saying. Furthermore if anyone actually plays God of War 3 along with both Uncharteds, I have a very hard time this person can claim Forza and GT to look better lmao..

"For 4 years, PS3 exclusives have dominated awards in the graphics departement. Thats all im saying" 

And yeah, that's all this thread needs before the winding up. Apparently facts remain facts even outside the thread and there's no point in trying to prove it further here.

Agreed, I think the better word is "embarrassed". This is what I meant. As statet before, english is not my mother language.

PS3 holds an edge, that is no questions. It´s just not a big one and the jaggies are definitely a problem on bigger screens.

This thread is essentially a penis measuring contest between pre-pubescent boys.


The nerd rage is strong in this thread indeed. No wonder the Chartz board seems to get deader and deader every year. Between low -res JPEGs and GIFs (really? 2012?) used to prove their points, I'm just glad real life has people with better things to do than debate minute differences between dated hardware platforms. Why not revive the GC v. Xbox v. PC debate at this rate? I'd much rather hear about the games, and why they are better. If graphics defined gaming nobody would game on anything but a PC, but obviously the wide range of gameplay afforded by consoles draws in the masses. So why bother fighting over this silly shit. I highly doubt in 15 years looking back if the differences between 360 or PS3 will even be noticable.

Only gameplay survives for decades. They will all look like crap in 10 years.

Yep. The PS3 turns 6 and the Xbox 360 turns 7 this year, who-wuddathunk-it that people would still be going on about them to this day. Anyway as always the credit ought to be going to the developers, not the silly systems that they develop the games for because besides anything else if you really cared about graphics to this day and aren't a major PC gamer then something is seriously wrong with you. 



Tease.

Ah, bring the ad hominem insults! Time for you all to show your real colours!

History will remember the PS3 as the most graphically powerful home console of this generation, no matter how little that may mean to you, or I, or to gaming as a whole.

It is the purpose of this thread, and so it will be proven, when the generation comes to a close.

All I have seen as a challenge are lies, insults and bullshots! Quite a poor show.

And before you ask why one should place such value in technical prowess, ask yourself, why are you posting in this thread at all? Interesting question, to say the least.

Why is this thread still going on...? Geez. Funny how Michael is still trying though.

I just got back, was only in this thread at 2 specific points (now and 11 hours ago).

P.S. I said UC3 was the best (after racing sims), just saying after that it's too close to give either console an edge, especially when MP titles like Crysis 2 and Mass Effect 2 looking as good or better then most PS360 exclusives.


Have u played god of war 3?? That's as good, if not better than uncharted 3 at times. Definitely uc3 and god of war 3 are the best on consoles this gen.

I have, and I completly disagree. God of War 3 looks terrible when you get close up to the Titans, textures, and even Kratos is sub par compared the the characters in Mass Effect. It's the draw distance that makes that game look so good, that and the water effects. However I'm used to games with good draw distances, Skyrims draw distance is just as good as GoW3's, and I don't consider it a graphical marvel. Halo Reach, while not as good looking, has a better draw distance...

Either way, Heavy Rain should not have made that list in the OP. Gears of War 3 looks much better, and like I said after Uncharted 3 (specifically 3) it's a mixed bag of goodness. GoW3, Gears 3, KZ3, Crysis 2, etc. All look excellent, and I could understand how people could put either game above one another.

Like I said before each game has its graphical benefits, UC with vegetation, GoW3/Skyrim with distant object details/Gears 3 with detailed textures and close ups of the guns....even L.A. Noire for its facial expressions level of detail.

Guys, there is no point arguing with these people. If you post pictures that they think look worse, they call you out on it, if you post pictures that they think look better, they will say they're bullshots or low res in denial.

The countless in game, high resolution, user-captured pictures speak for themselves.

It's funny really, the only xbox 360 shots people have posted were
1. Comparing Gears of War 3 to the downloadable Uncharted 3 beta in an attempt to trick us,
2. bullshots from Forza 4's autovista mode
3. the cockpit screenshots from Forza 3 and 4 that, when I posted better looking pictures, the guy said 'oh the ones I posted I just quickly found on the internet they don't count'

1. Uncharted 3 multiplayer looks no different then the beta, they didn't rebuild the engine since then. If Gears 3 looks comparable, then guess what, the graphical difference isn't huge.
2. Autovista Mode is a part of the game, and in all fairness that is the best looking graphics engine on any console, lol.
3. You posted better looking pictures of what? I thought we agreed Forza 4 and GT5 both look awesome? I never said my pictures "didn't count."

What about my links showing FPS drops in GT5, but Fora 4 running smoother? My link of IGN saying Gears 2 looks better then Killzone 2 (and to many people here Killzone 2 ranked as high as 4th best looking game this gen).

Thing is, the difference is so close it's all a matter of opinion. Some people might like Skyrim graphics just because of the great draw distance, some people might like Forza for the increadible detail, some people like uncharted because they like looking at trees, and some people like Gears because they take close up looks to their guns. Every game has their highlights, no 1 franchise is better then the rest this gen. PS360 are too similar.

Finally something I can actually agree with you.

This is my point of view, why PS3 fans are going nuts over accepting this? I dunno?

Going to go with that guys point about how PS3 can only get this victory, since it's likely to end in third this gen, even if in general some PS3 exclusives look at most 5% better (I think only UC3).

@Hynad: GT5 is 1280x1080 not 1920x1080.


Yeah, we could argue this to no end.  The end result is that GT5 runs with 1080 lines of progressive horizontal resolution. 

While the lines are horizontal, this improves the resolution vertically...lol
