Killzone 2 trolling?

How is it trolling if this thread is about 360 vs PS3 graphics, and Bioshock is on the PS3

GTA4 - 360 Better resolution, better AA

CD4 - 360 Textures, better quality

DMC4 - It features AA

All this things are hard to notice, but they are there, like I said is a little bit better...

I agree and all those three games suffer from too obvious texture pop-ins. Mass Effect on the 360 is IMO technically flawed, mandatory cutscenes trying to unsuccessfully cover-up the loading times and the framerate drops.

In a pre-Gears era Oblivion was often named as the best looking 360 game. The PS3 version looked much better, maybe Bioshock on the PS3 will be improved on as well. Though I am sure Bioshock won't be tapping the PS3's potential like upcoming exclusives Resistance 2 or Killzone 2 will.

The Cell processor in the PS3 is great there is only one problem. The amout of RAM on the GPU is 256 MB which means that for the majority of games on the PS3 the Cell Processor has to do alot of the graphical processing instructions since the RAM can't buffer graphics quick enough. This is one of the reasons alot of games on the PS3 MGS4 included run at 30fps and not 60fps. If Sony had put 512 MB of memory on there GPU instead of 256 MB it would leave some of the cores free to process more frames per second. If anything could be a downfall in the future of the PS3 it could be the lack of memory on the PS3's GPU. The Cell won't be able to handle all the instructions and games will slow down.

One thing to consider - Gears of War 2 is probably as good if not better looking than any shooter game on either system. It achieves this by sacrafices made with a DOF (Depth of field effect) So while it 'looks' better it doesn't make it a better technical achievement its a better design achievement. Uncharted is similar to this, it looks edit: great but its not the best technical achievement on the PS3. For different reasons.

So while RFOM 2 might be better technical achievements I would nudge Gears of War as the better design achievement. Depth of field works by obscuring the long distance detail in favour of whats in front of your face. Its a bluring effect. A design sacrifice that is made as a trade off as the often masturbated "console optimizations" often are. So I would pick that RFOM 2 is probably technically better just like GTAIV is technically better on the 360, the average public will probably pick Gears of war as the "better looking" just as the average punters picked the PS3 version of GTAIV as better looking as well.

Btw, don't raise your hopes on KZ2 yet, it employs DOF more heavily than gears of war.

Do you want pics???

Actually 256 mb is fine, its actually more than enough video ram. Its not like the PS3 renders anything difficult at more than say 1280/1080 or also known as quite a low resolution for a PC desktop VGA card.

The problem being this, to show off the Cell you need to give it something to do. In laymans terms the PS3 doesn't have enough ram for the designers to give the cell enough to do. Sure its a brilliant processor but it doesn't help when the code required to take advantage of it is ram intensive and theres only 256 megabytes of it to spread around.

Even simpler, the Cell is even more gimped inside the PS3 architecture than the g92 is with 256mb of ram. Give it more! Then you'll see it shine.

an enhanced version of bioshock is coming to the ps3 so it can cross that game of the list

All you people are so crazy. Unlike PS2 vs Xbox, there isn't a huge graphic disparity this generation.

The 360 and PS3 look pretty similar in most games, and in motion, I doubt you'd notice too much difference in the multiplat games that look 'worse' on the ps3.

And on the other side of the coin, games like uncharted and mgs4 do NOT look *that* much better, if better at all, than some of the better looking 360 games. 98% of the arguing in this thread comes down to subjective opinions over art direction rather than actual concrete evidence of graphical superiority (draw distance, detail, effects, antialiasing, etc)
