One poster just said that Wii isn't part of the console war because it's graphics are scored on a different scale than 360/PS3.

But PS2's graphics were scored on a different scale than GC/Xbox last gen. Meaning the PS2 wasn't part of the console war.

Look at God of War, it got a 9 in graphics. Those graphics are a 7 if it's judged by Xbox/GC standards.

Yeah, he didn't know what he was talking about.

Off topic though.... Imagine if the PS2 had pulled a Wii and actually kept the same level of horsepower as the PS1..... yeesh, would've been ugly....

Joke thread? The only thing that visually rivaled god of war on gc was re4 and re4 was also on ps2. Yes the xbox looked better but it graphics scores were always higher too. Thats why some peeps are pissed that the wii gets its weak hardware factored in now when in the past that was not the case.

Reviews have always been based off of a console's capabilities, yes that means the PS3 and 360 aren't scored exactly the same.

Is this so hard to comprehend?

Every single platform's graphics are reviewed on different scales. Must I quote the review faq? "We review games based off of others from the same genre SAME PLATFORM". There, mystery solved, catastrophe aborted.

To be honest I don't think GoW 2's graphics are impressive for a last-gen title. But no your logic is all wrong.

Then I guess it is a good thing that Gamespot rates the games based on the hardware capabilities, standards for that system and compared to other games on that system then?

No, but the people who missed the entire point of my thread are definite Mensa material, amirite? I didn't say they aren't part of the console war, I said if they are part of the console war, which they obviously are, then judge them all by the same criteria. Very simple concept. And you call my intelligence into question :lol:

Those can't be in game... the resolution is too high. Even in game screenshots of GeoW don't look that good.

I've beaten GoWII about five times and I know it doesn't look like that.

There's no way to get that camera angle while riding the pegasus.

And why are the pics square shaped?

And why is there no HUD?

my bad on that part, i went back and looked at the last page of the review. I guess you can say I owned my self if you want.

What does a Hud matter? Your pic doesnt have a Hud. So we can only compare pics with huds? hmmmm you need a new pic. Plus i think GOW2 looks close to that in game. Actually I think those are in game.

Are you serious?7 for God of War graphics. That's insane. The graphical standards differencebetween PS2, Xbox, and GC is not NEAR the graphical standards difference between PS3/360 and Wii.

According to everything I've heard, there is no CG in GOW. It's all the same engine, from the menu pic of Kratos face to every in-game cinematic. It's the same graphics throughout. Did you notice any difference when they switched to the cutscenes, because I didn't. It was fluid. Thus the "that isn't even in-game" argument is out the window.

Theres a difference between "In-game", "Target Rendered" and "CGI", do some research before posting.

I extent of the graphical difference between the Wii and PS3/360 is huge. The PS2/GC and Xbox didn't have anywhere near as big a gap.

Not that I agree with the guy, but your argument is flawed.

How can two people take opposite sides or an arguemtn and BOTH be wrong? It boggles the mind.

THe wii is part of the console war and PS2's graphics were constantly put on the same scale as GC/Xbox. How many reviews for multi-plats kept saying how much better the Xbox version was? Only all of them. But at the same time, each console is compared to other games. So you may as well say there is no console war at all because each console is judged relative to its own potential.

There are an assload of CG cutscenes in both GoW games.

The Xbox won for me cause it had Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath, Psychonauts, KOTOR and Halo 2 all on the one console. The only game I really missed out on for me personally, was RE4.
