Personally I think we should only include full gameplay. By that I mean not suedo gameplay or gameplay that is limited. Because again they can increase textures, shadowing resolution etc. Something like this:

I'm talking about pre-rendered vs realtime, not Halo 4 vs Uncharted 3. Not sure if it's intentional, but those Uncharted 3 shots are nasty, very compressed.

1280 x 720 there, not like his pics where UC3 is 1217 x 685 or 640x361 or 960x542

If you're going to show graphics, use the proper resolution of the game...

you should start taking own advice http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4876653

So should I, I posted 720p shots of Crysis 2, even though it's a sub-HD game.

Whoops...

Nice. Now there's a difference between gameplay, and full gameplay.

Of course, thats's only to serve one's own agenda. ¬_¬

Well there is a difference.

Take GOW3. Normal gameplay looks great. But the textures and effects are upped considerably on the fly for the QTE bits ( Not all, its fairly easy to see when this happens ).

For example the battle with Hercules is all realtime. The texture work on Hercules is fairly average compared to say fighting Poseidon.

Uncharted 2 for example. Looks at its best when the player control is taken away. The normal gameplay of climbing, and gunfights has worse explosions and less detail on textures. Its pretty easy to see. Notice the same with games like Dantes Inferno, the new Assasins Creed 3 and Max Payne 3 to name some more.

Clever tricks, but becoming to common, and not really where I ope gaming continues to go.

Hopefully with more power next generation more developers will opt for huge moments in games to be in full realtime like Watchdogs, and Even the big moments in Halo 4.

Halo 4 mainly took advantage of different aspects of lighting. If they wanted to do that in Uncharted they could, but they chose to make a highly detailed game. Halo is pristine on so many levels because its all about lighting and glossy graphics. Comes down to art style really. If you look at Halo it's not as detailed and very symmetrical in many ways.

For example the battle with Hercules is all realtime. The texture work on Hercules is fairly average compared to say fighting Poseidon.

The exact same effects and textures are constantly and consistently used during gameplay, QTEs and pre-rendered cutscenes and it's impossible for textures/effects to be upped on the fly for QTEs.

And if Hercules looks fairly average then 99% of character models this generation look awful, Hercules looks brilliant and the attention to detail is superb, they even put stretch marks around his shoulder!
