Forums - Sony - Do you think the PS3 peaked in graphics?

Seems like this bitch just keeps getting better and better, Sonys first party developers just keep juicing her out.

So what do you think can the PS3 still get much better with graphics or is it finally starting to peak?

Or will we never know the true power of the CELL?

I think it could improve... but only slightly. Seems for most of the AAA games look almost equal on graphics with just very incremental improvements for a while already. PS3 seems almost tapped out, unless someone pulls a programming miracle I doubt we will see anything a lot better than we already have available.



like Rol said sony franchises dont have other things

years from now when gamers look back at this gen graphics is not the only thing that will be remembered

i think it peaked about 09-10 you'll and have seen small additions and upgrades to exclusives after that but the overall integrity is about the same it was in those years



Why do people treat the cell as a graphics processor? It is a processor that will be bottle necked by the graphics card. The graphics card in the PS3 is dated, you can't do all that much with it and the amount of RAM it has is very limited. You'll never know the "true power of the cell" unless it was in a desk top with a high end graphics card.

We'll see what a maxed out PS3 game really looks like when Sony Santa Monica's next game releases (God of War IV). God of War II and God of War: Ghost of Sparta pushed the PS2 & PSP to the absolute limit and look amazing, and I think God of War III still looks the best now even after playing killzone 3, Gears 3, UC3, Rage, Crysis 2 and BF3, so if a 2010 released first attempt still looks as good as new games where the developers have had 2 or 3 games to learn to use the PS3, just imagine how good GOW IV will look if it's the jump GOW II and GOS are over GOW and COO. I bloody can't wait for God of War IV, 2013 (wishful thinking) is when PS3 will hit its graphical peak.



Maybe.

Naughty Dog can do it. But they are their own worst enemy. 



Another 2-3 years to go for it peak I think.

bad pic for an example but I'm still impressed by it..

 

 



When people see Uncharted 3 desert landscape people think "pssssssh thats it this cant get better"



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

I'd say wait for actual gameplay to see what the in-game graphics look like whilst actually playing the game. Naughty Dog are a bunch of disingenuous liars, just look at this http://community.us.playstation.com/thread/4594383. They make Uncharted 3 look all nice at E3 but the final game comes out a dissapointing smelly  turd. They're sneaky dicks too, the way they boast about how high the character polycounts are but when you try to get the character close to the camera they get blurred. Anyway does anyone really believe TLOU will look like the pics above? Uncharted 3 had awful jaggies, terribly inconsistent low-res textures and crap lighting, theres no way they'd make such a leap so shortly when their last game was an ugly mess.

The PS3 peaked in graphics around 2010 I'd say, I'm definitely ready for next gen visuals now. I'll have to wait for the PS4/Nextbox since I hate Nintendo and their rubbish brainless lazy children-oriented games and gimmicky weak consoles.
