@ NJ5

The problem with PS3 fans in this thread is that you can't post some screenshots/videos to prove your points.


IMO read some reviews or play the game instead. Screenshots can only show so much and videos need to be compressed for internet distribution. Animations, framerate, amount of action on screen, instant transition between gameplay and cutscene, etc determine the overall experience.

The PS3 has been on the market for 18 months, and developers have been working on the PS3's hardware for (roughly) 3 years. So far Epic and id have had difficulties achieving better performance on the PS3 than they received on the XBox 360, and it wasn't worth Valve's time to port the (several year old) source engine; Epic, id and Valve are (potentially) the most experienced and talented game engine developers in the world and somehow after years of development have yet to achieve noticeably better performance than the XBox 360.

 

Then explain to me why, Uncharted, MGS4, and Killzone 2 look so much better than anything on the XBOX 360?

I saw it, and my opinion is still what I said before. Great art direction with nice colorful graphics which are quite detailed. Technically, nowhere near as impressive as everyone makes it seem like (from reading PS3's fans post you'd think Uncharted was technically far above other console games).

You'll see technically better games both on PS3 and 360 as the gen goes on.

Is PS3 ever going to do anything at the level of 360 on multiplatform graphics?

Because that is your (biased) subjective opinion ...

As it has been demonstrated, when you compare Metal Gear Solid 4 to Gears of War the difference between the two games is far from dramatic; Killzone 2 hasn't been released and I'm not going to trust a company that sold CG footage as "In Game" so we have to wait for the game to be released; and Uncharted is different in artistic style and gameplay to anything that is available on the XBox 360 so it is difficult to compare it to anything.

What's the best looking multi-plaftom 360 game? I heard many say Call of Duty 4, if so the devs stated the PS3 version is slightly better.

The least technically impressive multi-platform games usually have worse ports than the more impressive ones.

Uncharted is graphically the best looking console game by far and IMHO set a bar for this current generation.  The only games that come close to it are MGS4 and GT5p.

And all these shots are actual in game action shots, not even a realtime cutscene, but actual in game.

 

 its the same as Perfect Dark Zero graphics.

@ HappySquirrel

Killzone 2 hasn't been released and I'm not going to trust a company that sold CG footage


Lol, the game has been shown in public plenty of times. The end result will only get better.
