The only thing I'm getting from this thread is that the PS3 is very good at producing graphics in highly scripted and linear games. If that's the sole criteria for being the king of graphics in a generation, then the PS3 does indeed take the crown.

EDIT: Which is of course without taking the PC into account, as it wouldn't be fair to the aging home consoles.

What is it with all the topics from earlier in the gen resurfacing? PSN vs Live, PS3 graphics vs 360 graphics?

Hint: They're all made by the same user.

It was proved by MGS4 in 2008, Uncharted 2 in 2009, Heavy Rain + God of WAR 3 in 2010, Uncharted 3 in 2011 and will be "The Last of us" in 2012/13...

So good. Skyrim also looks pretty amazing, maybe even better then Red dead.

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.

Hadn't actually noticed that.  OK.

When it comes to single player campaign the small number of PS3 exclusives (KZ3, UC2&3, GOW3) wins hands down BUT...

Halo Reach and Gears 3 allow 4 player co-op and split screen (2 payer split screen in Gears case) through the campaign. Can you imagine 4 players trying to fit into an Uncharted 3, Killzone 3 or GOW 3 campaign level?

Generally speaking 360 handles open world and sandbox better. RDR, GTAIV, Fallout, Skyrim, Saints Row 2, Kingdoms of Amalaur all look and perform better on 360. PS3 has Infamous 1 & 2 but they have no AA, aggressive LOD, low res alpha and frame rate problems to put it up with the best of the PS3 best. Saints Row 3 performs better on the Sony console but looks better on the 360. Fallout 3 and NV has higher res artwork on PS3 but there's no AA and drops more frames.

Most multiplats are better on 360 but that's more to do with the 360 being lead console. 360 is better at handling PS3 ports than the other way around most but not all of the time.

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

this is real time on ps3

lol

people claim that God of War III has some of the best AA ever in a console game.
