Does any console game look even half as good as the best looking PC games?

[QUOTE="Stalkerfieldsis"]

Yeah, peopel who go out, buy the new console when it releases for $4-500, then go and buy a nice HDTV, pay $10 more per game, and pay for online features DEFINITELY don't have the money for an $800 PC with cheaper games and free online.

[QUOTE="Gue1"]

but those Uncharted screens look amazing!

And why is that jaggies are only visible on the screenshots you guys post? When I play the game I never notice these many jaggies and you can't even see them on the videos either.

Pray_to_me

Because they are streching and skewing the images to fit into a gamespot comment box and then comparing it to unplayable mods and tech demos. In fact it's sort of pathetic that the Hermits are still nut hugging Crysis even though the game is on consoles they need to get over it.

Pray is an attention broad. You guys disappoint the PC master god realm with your allergic to facts as much as the fact when Pray's mom found out she had a son because of her husbands allergic to condoms.

This is only PC's second current leading graphical accelerator 4000MB

Max resolution 7680 x 3200

How much the resolution can take without looking like an overly stretched jag fest?

The super Ultra-Derper Futuristic Next Gen GPU of the PS3! 256MB

Max resolution (somewhere around) 1280x720

How much the resolution can take without looking like an overly stretched jag fest?

Now what the hell is there more to argue about?

I've always liked Crysis 2.....on the PC.

Yes. I own Metro 2033 on PC. It's an amazing game and looks amazing, but it doesn't have those spectacular scenes that God Of War and Uncharted have. Graphics are more than just texture quality to me :P

Too bad the crysis pic you picked is modded and can not be played at a stable framerate there for who gives a **** about graphics if you cant play it ? :O

Maneil99

Yes it can.. and graphical mods tap into the hardware's potential, otherwise what the f*k of a point does thread have? The best of PC gaming comes from heavily modded games, because those actually show what a gaming rig. is capable of.

The potential of the highest gaming rig. (in the limits of what a consumer could buy) are infinitely more advanced compared to the ancient hardware found in a console. As i said before, we can see glimpes of that with heavily modded games like GTA IV and Crysis 1&2. Bring into the disscusion 2500x1600 rez., and it's case closed.

Though it is a shame that, in recent times, there has ben no game built from scratch, and optimized to take full potential of the highest level of a gaming rig. It's completely understandable why, but still, a shame.

Console graphics aren't bad. I don't even see the jaggy lines in Arkham City and Uncharted unless I get within 5 inches of the tv and can count pixels

[QUOTE="ShadowDeathX"]This is why console games should have stable resolutions, stable frames, fun games, and innovation in new ways to play. Graphics pushing on consoles is dumb imo. You are killing the game by trying to make the hardware push itself to the limits. We get ugly looking textures, horrible frames, limited freedom, and crap innovation.MrJack3690

Agreed.

Im not sure why hermits get so butt hurt when a console game looks good are when a console is suppsoed to be powerful, but relying on gimmicks will kill the industry. If the definition of innovative is what Nintendo did with the Wii and everyone followed it would ruin the industry. Also a large portion of these great looking pc games would never get made because they would have to be made exclusively for the platform and devs simlply are not going to take that risk . The next consoles need to be at least DX11 and 1080p capable or pc gaming will suffer as well.

That Uncharted scene still looks better. How the enviroment changes, the animations, the combat inside and outside the cabs, it looks better. The way the scene was created and plays out looks more impressive. But Crysis has higher res foilage! It doesn't matter if it still looks worse.

Those two videos you posted are biased, and besides that, the Uncharted one looked bad if i'm gonna compare it to the little fun i had modding games. But those are youtube videos, it doesn't 100% represent how the games look.

I'm lazy as f*k, and even if i were to install the game, make a couple of gifs/screens/videos of the most impressive scenes, you would brush them off (your entire argument is based around your personal appeal of visuals, which are subject to biases that you have already made painfully obvious).

So give me 5 bucks (trough paypal), and maybe i will.

The Crysis Warhead train level was simply brilliant. If you didn't play it, and just know about it from this video, you would think it's a generic onrails sequence. It isn't. You can get out of the train at *anytime*, explore the surroundings, get on a jeep, drive to the train and get back in. You're free to approach it how you see fit. It puts any other train level I've ever played to shame, and not only because of the graphics.
