BC2 is a multiplat, thus is limited to power on the ps3. Because its not exclusive, it cant have its true potential.

From the past you can see exclusives are usually better "looking", forexample: PS3: KZ2, U2. 360: GEOW2

I just thought it was too bright in the beta. Other than that, it looks pretty good.

What I find funny is that you only list two games. There's only 2 exclusives that look better than 360 games but cows say all PS3 exclusives look better.

Graphics kings can only be on PS3(Even though there are multiplatform games that look as good or better)

I don't think so. It may get close, but not as good as U2. I was in the beta, and while it looks superb overall, U2 is still more colorful while BC2 is pretty gritty.

It doesnt bother me though. BC2 is still an amazing game and it looks fantastic, but by the time it releases, I don't think it will look as good as U2.

So for a game to be technically on par with U2, it has to look as colourful? ...what?

considering BC1 was one of the best looking games of it's time (IMO) I don't doubt their claims... i cant wait for this game.

Are they boasting about the console counterpart of Battlefield BC2 being on par with Uncharted 2's visual fidelity and texture detail? If so, that is an incredible statement. If they're talking about the PC version, well, they aren't declaring anything new here (a PC title that looks better than a console only title? Really?!).

Well Color is what made UC2 stand out from all the other grays and browns. Color is what made UC2 GOTY

i dont think the console version of Unreal 3 engine can match uncharted 2, but the PC version can easily.

ALL ps3 exclusives "at least the ones ive played" look miles ahead of any 360 exclusive.

its kinda common sense that exclusives always look better. Devs do not need to worry about ports and what not, they just need to focus on one platform. Thats what i was trying to say earlier, although i probably implied that PS3's exclusives are better this gen, and that PS3 sometimes gets held back because of the 360 (mainly due to blu ray).

Don't doubt it. the gameplay videos look fantasic and I personally can't wait till DX11 on Pc vids start popping up. DICE claimed that the PS3 "beta" was actually a late alpha which is the reason for the sub-par and unpolished visuals.

Come on Crysis2! Seriously guys two games? Two games that enjoyed something the 360 has never had which is a game engine built to the metal specifically for the PS3. Most of you cant seem to grasp what that means. So enjoy being owned by a multiplat or two soon enough.

PC version breaks that. And.. yeah, when you read the quote it makes more sense.

"The thing is though, we have much bigger environments. To even be close, to me is quite an honour as a developer. The one thing I did was, when I looked at their game I was like, damn them! What have they done to the rest of us? I was looking for something where I could say, okay, that we're doing better. I looked at their vistas, and I think that our vistas, because it's in game, this is actual in-game terrain you could theoretically take your soldier and walk up to, our vistas are better. Naughty Dog, if you hear this, I challenge you versus our vistas!"

He says they're at least catching up because their game is wide open and if you see it, you can probably walk to it, and that's an achievement in itself. Something said on here often enough.

yeah PC version is better but i was referring to consoles. BUt yeah its true that BC2, is technically wayyy harder to make look as good as U2, espeically with all the destruction, big environments, etc.

looks better than MAG at least, a given.

BC has a counter-part to mop up.
