I did mention God of War Ascension, though I never even heard that Halo 4 was ported to PS3... :p

Even the worst case that is a cross-generation game for launch still display in 1080p and higher frame rate.
Uncharted looks better, but it's a lot more thanks to hard work and artistic talent. Technically speaking, graphics are not even as good.

Yes. This has always been the case though, cross gen titles and rushed launch titles have always looked worse than the previous generation's best.

We've known this for a long time, it's really not thread-worthy, unless you were trying to prove a point.

Agree. Resolution aside, games like Beyond: Two Souls just look better. More time is placed on the environments, character models, and animation. It would easily look better on the better hardware but on its on, it holds up quite nicely.

Not uncommon, of course. You can compare GUN on Xbox 360 to Resident Evil 4 on Gamecube or whatever. Yes, some last gen software always makes the hardware sing while some current gen software is just shitted out. That's why we always hear "Game-X looks like it could have been done on a PS2" or "This would have been a great looking game ten years ago." in reviews.

It is very common for the best looking games of the previous gen to outshine the beginning of the current gen games.

Latest PS1 games outdid launch PS2. Best PS2 games outdid launch PS3.
Rinse and repeat

No just no. The clouds and lighting is much better on PS4 (concerning your scene shots). But overall it's either a tie or leaning in PS4s favor.

I don't understand the point of this thread

this is what killzone 3 looks like, now compare the, lighting, textures,  resolution increase and 60fps, its really not even close, 720p looks like a blurry mess when you get used to 1080p. unless your not a fan of the art style.

Well, I could use another word, one which describes much better your attempt with this thread. Honestly, I'm not sure why are you not moderated already and this thread locked away.

I have a pretty good idea.
