I think this Is a bad topic. Why do people care if Saints Row looks below par on any version? Its not like you bought it expecting to be visually stunned.
If 360 owners were underwhelmed by a blurred or visually below par game I'd say "Go look at Gears 2 and Alan Wake."
Since this is on PS3 I say "Go look at MGS4, Uncharted (2), Killzone 2, GT5(p) etc.

Xbox 360 and PS3 are very capable of churning out sharp and beautiful titles, so if you buy a game thats not visually great blame the Dev.

PS3 GPU not support 4xMSAA but Xbox360 GPU support it. So why all multiplatform games Xbox360 see better than PS3. Not only multiplatform games all of exclusive on PS3 never better than Xbox360 because of PS3 can't use MSAA from GPU. So why developper says "I love program to Xbox360"

IMHO and most people, the PS3 has the best looking game of this generation so far.  See MGS4, Uncharted, Killzone 2 (out next month).

I love when people that have no idea what is being discussed just list games as evidence to a point they don't understand. Those were big words, but MGS4 says hi. I must've just won.


Squilliam isn't saying the 360 makes prettier games. He saying that the PS3 is incapable of using the same AA methods of the 360 which produces blurrier images. That isn't because of the developer, the PS3 just can't use the same AA. Listing off games doesn't disprove that.

The 360 can't read blu-rays...oh yeah? Look at Gears of War 2, PWNED!

to be honest if something like this bugs you, then you're probably looking for it. when i play games (and i'm pretty sure this goes for the majority of games in the world), this doesn't really affect my gaming experience, unless i'm buying two versions of every game to purposely compare them and then complain.

so, who really cares?

Oh yeah, as for the actual point, I'm not enough of a techie to really notice when I'm playing. Whenever I see 360 games and PS3 games next to each other I can tell that the 360 looks sharper, but when I'm playing a game I almost never think to myself "this looks blurry." It's a personal thing no doubt, but for me it's just not something that irks me.

either that's a joke, or you missed the point there. Even if it is a joke, I'd like to clarify in case somebody else reads that and thinks "WHO CARES ABOUT GEARS OF WAR 2!!! BLU-RAY FTW!!"

 Simply saying "Gears of War 2" isn't a refutation of the 360's inability to read blu-ray discs. Just like saying "Uncharted" isn't a refutation of the fact that the PS3 can't use the same AA methods as the 360. Unless MGS4 is using the AA methods that are available on the 360 it isn't a refutation of anything being discussed. Yes it's a pretty game, but nobody brought that up.

I will now show squilliam how wrong he is by bringing up the the incredible Soundtrack of Super Smash Bros Brawl. Suck on that one squilliam, check and mate.

The vaseline effect!
I don't like it too.
Good post Squilliam.

Out of their first parties, I believe these titles use Quincunx AA:

Killzone 2 (hence why it can look so horrible at times in screenshots)
Lair (if it uses AA, either that or its the worst AS I've EVER seen - I finally played this game yesterday, lol)

I know these titles don't:

Uncharted 1/2
Resistance 1/2
Ratchet & Clank Future
Gran Turismo 5
...Heavenly Sword?

Not really sure about the rest. MotorStorm 2 might use QCAA.
