Haha, yeah, pretty sure I'm not talking about Dragon Age.

Everything. I feel the exact opposite of you.

Some people also think a game like, for example Saints Row 3, is better than Saints Row 2 in every way, but they are wrong ... in every way.

I would like to know what you thought made Witcher 1 better.

Was it story?

Was it combat?

Was it graphics/art style?

Was it characters?

Was it dialogue?

Was it weapons?

Was it ect?

I'm not trying to say that you can't like Witcher 1 better, I'm just curious what aspects you thought Witcher 1 did better?  Personally I thought Witcher 2 improved on every area I can think of, except possible control style.  I like the combat much more, but the control seemed to be tailored more towards consoles than pc.  Also the UI needed some help.  Again something I felt was fault of being made to be ported to consoles.  Hopefully they don't do that with Witcher 3.

On the other hand Rage doesn't use any kind of AA and has a multiplayer limit of 4 players, so again it's not really fair to compare these games.
I played Rage and know that the majority of missions happen in smaller corridor areas, which is technically not very impressive.

Treyarch/Infinity Ward constantly upgrade the engine. Compare World at War with Black Ops 2 and the difference is quite big. The fact that Black Ops 2 can't even sustain 60FPS in the campaign on several occasions is proof enough that they are trying to make it look better. A considerable upgrade on PS360 is just not possible.

60FPS is an excuse as it takes huge amount of power.
Besides Blops 2 already looks great:

This is not a case of lazy developers, the consoles are just too weak to show the beautiness of CoD (and sustain 60FPS at the same time).

those are PC screen shots. have you played the ps3 version? honestly its something to laugh at. and your helping my point, current gen consoles cant do graphics like that. people seem to not understand that generations dont apply to pc, graphics on pc get better and better every year, there are no generations. 

@ bolded, i completely agree, thats why when seeing this screenshot it shows that there will be a a good leap when it comes to power for next gen PS and xbox. the limits on the 360/ps3 have been reached for quite some time

You said the CoD developers didn't bother to make it look better, which I "proved" to be wrong since the PC version looks far superior. They are restricted on consoles because they want to keep the game at 60FPS and that's a valid excuse, since this needs a lot of power which then cannot be used to improve resolution, AA, shadows or lighting.

You compared this screenshot (the possible new standard) to Call of Duty, which just makes no sense at all, since they are not comparable because 60FPS is not "standard" for HD games. Why not compare this to a 30FPS game like Halo 4, GoW3 or Red Dead Redemption ? Because then the "jump" wouldn't look nearly as big.

true i shouldnt be comparing this to CoD until we know what frame rate this runs on. but try arch really dont bother to make things look better on PS3 atleast, have you played it? rage just looks a million times better, and yes i know its mostly in small corridor area's but its not like Call of duty is an open world game, its as small as the next game yet rage makes CoD black ops2 look like a joke. 

and those pc screenshots arent really that good. there ok at best, compare them to crysis or battlefield on pc and just look at the difference.

C'mon man, it may not look like what you expect of next gen but it had and shoulders above Skyrim and Red Dead in terms of lighting, textures and draw distance.. It looks like a high end PC game. But yeah, I agree that I don't think that game should act as an indicator of what we'll see for ps4/720 in terms of open world RPGs. I suspect even the worst looking next gen games will be a few notches ahead of the standard we see coming from the wii U.

Oh yeah, its ahead of Skyrim and Red dead in a lot of areas, though lighting still goes to Red Dead from what i have seen (GTA5 is even better)

The game looks nice and should get some improvements before its out. But a graphical powerhouse? Nope. 

For the consoles that are currently available? Yes! lol

 

X is doing things thats just not possible on current gen consoles. the texture res alone on X would be impossible on current gen consoles. So yes X is a nextgen game as it just wouldnt be possible to be made look as good as it does on the WiiU on 360 or PS3 and thats a simple fact.

@OP With Cyperpunk and now this (Judging looks like its going to be for the Witcher 3) we are in for some great gaming and graphics.

To the people saying this wont look better then Crysis your kidding yourselfs.

code x is not even better then currentgen, show me these amazing textures that your talking about, RDR has alpha textures every where and the lighting is dynamic, unlike X which has mostly prepaked and static, please use real facts next time. as for the CDred project, the pic looks nice, nothing amazing but wait till you see it in motion, i'm sure it will blow us away.

Personally I don't think Red Dead looked all that great. Sure in areas, but it was so empty compared to Gta4.

Everybody has an opinion on what looks great or not, but the game was a technical marvel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5TQDeoump4. the lighting is probably the best in an open world game on consoles.

I'd like to add FFXIII-2 pics (even though the quality could be better):






That's the biggest non-linear level in the game. Looks rather similar doesn't it ?

yes it does, but i have never played the game, it seems to me nintendo fans just want a game to look better then current gen so bad, so anything that looks nice on wii u = better then  current gen or nextgen. i remember reading on neogaf how nintendo fans were saying that multiplatform games on wiiu look better then they are on currentgen consoles, till DF put that to rest.
