[QUOTE="PinnacleGamingP"][QUOTE="Riadon2"] So you are saying that the screenshot that I took during my playthrough isn't realtime? Plus, uncharted 3 graphics are disgusting and I don't know where you got the "moving environments" crap from. I suppose I shouldn't expect so much from a hardcore Cow.Riadon2
have you ever ven played it? cuz it sure sounds like a no

A better question to ask is, have you played Crysis? It is far more dynamic and impressive than your little linear Indiana Jones movie wannabe. Also, is it so hard to use spellcheck?

ye i didnt think you played it, which pretty much makes your post void.....lmao judging graphics of a game you never played ahahahahahah. and yes i own both games.

[QUOTE="superclocked"][QUOTE="RyviusARC"][QUOTE="superclocked"]I have NFS: Hot Pursuit and GRID on the PC, and I have to agree that Forza looks better. The backgrounds and distant terrain are almost photorealistic, so I'm not sure what you meant there. The foliage, cars, buildings, almost everything looks better in Forza IMO.. The lack of anisotropic filtering and occasional blurry textures were the only things that I noticed visually wrong with the game. But the gameplay more than makes up for it. Having an infinite number of flashbacks is cheesy, but I only use a flashback if I crash on the last lap or get wrecked by an ai car...

Well I have to disagree Need for Speed Hot Pursuit has much much better backgrounds and the cars also look better. Forza 4 has cardboard backgrounds with cardboard trees and flat buildings. So we will have to agree to disagree.

I'm beginning to think that you haven't actually played Forza. The buildings are not flat at all. They're completely 3D, down to the railings on balconies. The amount of little 3D details and scenery is insane compared to NFS. And the backgrounds consist of almost photorealistic 3D terrain. They're not cardboard like at all. The foliage is better than Hot Pursuit as well. Then there is the HDR lighting. Hot Pursuit looked good for it's day, but graphically, it does not compare to Forza on any level whatsoever...

Some of the builds were 3d but the backgrounds were just skyboxes. A console game cannot compare sorry.

I play Need for Speed Hot Pursuit (2010) in AMD's Eyefinity mode (i.e. 3X 23 inch screens). Btw, PC version has high resolution texture mode, higher AA and resolution.

PC's high texture mode works best beyond 1280x720p i.e. more pixels to show higher resolution textures.

[QUOTE="ronvalencia"]Both PS3 and Xbox 360 includes DRM hardware.DJP3000

...

Is there a console game that requires me to be online for single player? No

Is there a console game that requires me to create an account with the publisher in order to play it? No

If someone here mentions online passes in many consoles games to play multiplayer online, that doesn't count as DRM in my eyes.

There have been a few titles on PSN that have forced you to be signed into the network to play single player. Capcom was one of the publishers that has taken advantage of it in the past.

Consoles have had games that require you to create an account with the publisher to play. MMOs are the ones that spring to mind.

And it doesn't matter what you consider DRM, that's precisely what online passes are. :|

Boring for you maybe or to someone who has the attention span of a 5 year old. Project cars is a pure racing sim through and through and takes a LOT of practice and hours to get good at. It's fun for the people who want that type of game, no one buys it for a quick racing fix.

Project cars is to racing games as Arma II is to shooting games. Big, deep, rich with a crap load of features and a steep learning curve

You console kids don't seem to be able to process very much in your brains at once.

And Zlychop's brain processes even less than the average console kid.

Is it just me or is it that the only time we see good looking console screenshots is when they are shown at the same resolution of a 3DS?

slimjimbadboy

Hell, that God of War Ascension screenshot was a little screenshot inside of another pic, not even close to full res...which would show how low resolution the textures are.

The screenshot below is actually a bullshot (note the complete lack of aliasing), but it does show how low res the textures are. The game looks pretty good due mostly to the colors and art direction...along with some decent lighting and post processing effects, but it isn't nearly as amazing as some cows make it out to be.

Yeah, then they brag about how there $500 card with 32xaa on looks so much better than a $200 console. At the end of the day, we are still playing the same game for 25% of the cost of a true gaming PC. Who wins? Console gamers.

You know what? You remind me of someone bragging about watching VHS movies on a $30 VHS player they got at a swapmeet and saying "at the end of the day we are watching the same movies for 25% of the cost. Who wins? VHS owners."

It's such a stupid, pathetic argument. Yes, you might technically be playing the same game, but it is at a much lower quality. In other words, it's fine if you are ok watching VHS movies, but it is NOT ok to pretend that VHS is just as good as Blu-ray.

The difference is not equivalent to VHS vs Blu-Ray, it moreso 480p vs 720p.

Actually its more like 480 @ 30fps Vs 1080p. Which is, literally, VHS vs Blu-Ray.:P

[QUOTE="Nonstop-Madness"]Consoles are more optimized but they aren't superior in any way. Once you game on PC, you can't really go back to consoles because 75% of console games look straight trash. I tried playing BF3 MP on PS3 and I wanted to stab myself in the eye balls. DJP3000

I recently gave up on PC gaming. I used to have a GTX 580 in my i7-3820 system and used to mainly play on PC. I sold my GTX 580, and bought a Radeon HD 6450 with passive cooling and ended up with about $160 leftover, not counting the $15 rebate for my HD 6450. I own a PS3 and an Xbox 360 and they fill my gaming purposes just fine. I know I'm giving up graphics quality and frame rate for simplicity, less bugs, and no dealing with DRM. If I ever decide to return to PC gaming, the only thing I would have to change in my system would be the graphics card but I can't see myself returning to PC gaming any time soon. Most games are multiplatform anyways and PC hardly get's exclusives anymore, and the exclusives that I have for the PC I got bored of them.

Yeah, the vast majority of games are multiplatform games, which run and look better on the PC. So if anything that would be another reason to game on the PC.

[QUOTE="RyviusARC"][QUOTE="miriPlays"] But the details.... Forza has an emphasis on cars and it shows. Models and the overall visual presentation are unmatched.superclocked
Maybe in photomode the cars have great detail but they lose a lot quality compared to non photo mode. And the backgrounds are pretty bad and really hurt the overall visuals of the game with the cars having more detail than anything else. Like I said, most PC racing games look a lot better than console racing games.

I have NFS: Hot Pursuit and GRID on the PC, and I have to agree that Forza looks better. The backgrounds and distant terrain are almost photorealistic, so I'm not sure what you meant there.

The difference is not equivalent to VHS vs Blu-Ray, it moreso 480p vs 720p.

Complete nonsense. The difference is actually far greater between consoles and PC gaming than between VHS and Blu-ray. The jump between VHS and Blu-ray is mainly a difference in resolution. PC games compared to console games not only offer far higher resolutions, but they also offer much higher framerates (which is not just a visual thing, but also enhances the gameplay experience), higher quality assets (at least in some cases), further draw distances, higher fidelity post-processing effects, and the elimination and/or improvement of image-destroying artifacts like screen tearing and jaggies.

If something like screen tearing was present while watching a movie people would freak out and say the machine was broken and the image quality ruined. They would take the movie player back to the store and demand a refund. Yet console games are plagued with such eyesores.

1080p (1920 x 1080) represents more than twice the number of pixels as the 720p standard (1280 x 720), and PC gaming resolutions go much higher than 1920 x 1080.

So, as I've shown, the jump in image quality from consoles to PC is much, much greater than the jump between VHS and Blu-ray.

Vram isn't a big deal in resolution, unless you're using MSAA That's nearly 1920x1080 vs 428x242, and that only costs 56mb of vram.Inconsistancy
Come dude Vram is one of the most important things in video game,is what have limit many consoles,hell the xbox 360 got 512MB because Epic show MS how much better GOW ran on 512 MB than on 256 MB,GOW on 256MB would have not run as it is on 360.

The more of this thread I read the more I think TC doesn't actually understand what "Technical superiority" actually is. Most of which he puts down to face value and artistic merit.

Consoles are superior to PC gaming period

PC gaming is a open platform at the same time as it helps them it also hurts them

Closed platforms like Consoles is what gets the attention for many many reasons that make them better

On console resolutions of 720p and low settings,7800GTX can still play some modern games on decent frame-rates...

Here,take a look at this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D0EN8BbFoc&feature=related

The thing that kills it the most is the lack of unified shader architecture,but PS3 fixes that with SPEs,even though PS3's RSX is a slightly cut-down 7800 GTX...

The famed console optimization cannot turn a 2005 card into a 2012 card...

Console optimization can rival performance of a 2012 card, this is well known. Some games run the same on consoles as they do on PC, by console optimization. Halo 4, wait for it and be amazed by how close it looks to the top PC ttiles.

Console optimization can rival performance of a 2012 card, this is well known. Some games run the same on consoles as they do on PC, by console optimization. Halo 4, wait for it and be amazed by how close it looks to the top PC ttiles.

Console cant even run games in proper HD, were you dropped on your head as a baby?

Were you punched in your head as a baby? Probably not, you just got beaten up by kids (repeated blows to your brain) growing up for being a punk.

Oh well,at least you now admited consoles technically aren't nowhere near PC...

What's your next argument?

He's got a point... at 10 feet, the human eye can only resolve every pixel of 720p if it's on a 50 inch screen or larger. 1080p pushes that into the high 70 inch range.

We're arguing technical levels.What device is more advanced,one that can output 720p,or one that can output 1080p?

A higher resolution image allows for more detail to start with. So that isn't completely accurate as you aren't even looking at an identical image in the first place.

True. While I consider wringing the current consoles' graphics out of 7 year old hardware to be pretty impressive, that's technically the code that's superior, not the hardware. The other thing on consoles that I consider to be more advanced than PCs is TrueSkill, but Battle.net is on its level, and the PS3 doesn't have TrueSkill anyway.

[QUOTE="Zlychop"] Of course but lets see a 7800 GTX run the games the consoles have been able to, at the same framerates.Zlychop

On console resolutions of 720p and low settings,7800GTX can still play some modern games on decent frame-rates...

Here,take a look at this:

Then why can't console optimization allow Battlefield 3 to be as good the PC version?

Glad to see we can agree on this :)

Yes,I do agree that consoles aged very well,and still give out some nice looking and unique games(I'd really love Heavy Rain and Beyond Two Souls on my PC,for example,as well as RDR).But none of those games can come close to beating modern PC games at technical visuals...

The point about coding is correct too,due to standardized console hardware,but the TC claimed consoles in general are technically more superior devices than the PC,and that's just plain incorrect...

That's what I'm disaproving,and since he has no comeback,I'd say I'm done...

Which is where the whole resolution thing falls apart between the two. PCs are played on a smaller screen really close. Consoles are from up to 6+ feet away on a bigger screen. But the PCs are still doing more "technically" which is TCs arguement.

It was hardly a random number; the resolving power of the human eye was exactly what was being discussed in the post I quoted. Furthermore, the resolving power of the human eye is a documented fact, not an opinion.

You don't understand.

Consoles are technically superior given that with what they have, hardware that doesn't change can rival even today's PC visuals.

PC hardware uses brute force to typically run games, whereas console games are coded technically to the metal (lowest level of assembly coding).

Hence why console games are in fact technically superior, if you have anything less than maybe a GTX 295 today, consoles will run games better.
