Anyone saying that Red Dead or any other already-released PS360 open-world game looks better... I just don't know what to say.
The Last of Us and Halo 4 are a faulty comparision too. Try to keep comparisons in remotely the same genre, people.


Though I must admit, both games use 2D foliage quite a bit. However, this is common in most open-world titles with a non-tree focus.

you just proved my point, the lighting in red dead is dynamic, the lighting is in X is static, RDR has a huge advantage in lighting, and red dead uses mostly alpha textues on its foilage,unlike x.
|
The trade-off is that there is much more foliage in X than Red Dead. Either way, the 2D foliage does nothing to detract from the experience.
As for dynamic lighting, I'll take a look at some more screenshots for comparision, but X does have quite good shadows. It doesn't appear that every object in Red Dead has a shadow, even, unless my eyes are playing tricks on me. Or it could be that since X's foliage isn't as sparse, it's easier to hide a lack of a shadow.
|
every object in RDR has shadows and yes 2d foliage is a distaction, when you get close to them they look like cardboard cut outs, anothere thing 2d foilage is not taxing you can have have as much as you want even the 1st wii can be good at it.
|
Hmm, I must be missing something. That RDR pic you posted semed to have many objects with missing shadows in it, unless those beloved alpha-textured sprites aren't supposed to have any.
If anything, that's a distraction.
|
go play the game every object reflects realisticly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pROWml_4sYQ here is proof, you think X looks better thats fine by, but some of u guys seem to have a problem with me because i think RDR looks better, when i gave clear reasons to why i think looks better.

Nothing wrong with thinking that RDR looks better, because a lot of that comes down to taste. Some people might find RDR's environments bland is comparison to X's. Some will see it the other way.
I'm not so sure how anyone can say it's a more technically advanced game, especially given X's much longer draw distances. Assuming that nothing goes particularly wrong with pop-in and loading once X is released (should be quite a feat with those fast-moving vehicles), the only real rival on PS360 I see is GTAV, a game with a much bigger budget and longer development time. Even if X doesn't end up topping that, I can't deny that Monolith knows how to squeeze a system.
