The most obvious part of the article:

"The DiRT 2 video we analysed recently appears to be a downscaled to 720p from a much higher resolution and probably comes from a PC build."

It is clear that the PC suffers the least from the BShots effect because it actually can do the things shown.

Bullshots must die....

Off screen shots have always been good to me, im ok with those and people seem to hate them. Cant stand doctored screenshots though, from any developer, it becomes obvious for everyone when the game comes out.

by then you already have the game, possibly because the game looked so "good" to you. They win.

Fanboys will take that kick with a grain of salt.. As far as analyzing screens, the best way to go about it is to play the game yourself.. The games are usually somewhere in between 'true' screenshots, and off screen shots

Buy games because they look fun/entertaining, rather than because they have HDR lighting. You win.

They haven't been reliable for a long time. Square posted up CGI cutscenes as examples of the graphics in FFVII when it first came out. GT has always been notrious for posting pictures of replay mode rather than actual gameplay mode. For most screens, if I don't see a HUD then I don't have any faith that the actual game look like that. If the camera angle is crazy, I don't believe in it. I'll use racers as an example How on earth would you drive when there is no hud and the camera angle is one where the car is facing you so you can't see the road in front of you.... and it's tilted like 30 degrees?

Easy answer, you won't because if the game ever looks like that it'll be a time where you can put the controller down and watch a cutscene or something. I've never really been interested in how awesome a game looks when you're not playing it.

If I don't see jaggies i'm calling them bullshots. It's modern times. If the devs want to prove us wrong they can release a demo on PSN or XBL

It's a good article, and the part about Star Ocean 4 shows how far bullshots can possibly go in order to make a game that really looks like crap, into the next graphics king once it's all touched up. Bullshots really need to die.
