[QUOTE="BobHipJames"][QUOTE="IshmaelSonata"] you realize that every screenshot for games out there are touched up right? they take out the jaggies just to polish up the picture. So if you're trying to point out that screenshots contain more AA than in game play, you're right, but same goes for every game out there.
BUT posting up really ugly Gears 2 screens is a bit far fetched because the game do look very close to the best screenshots out there and unless you play the game while staying zoomed in to check out texture details, you will get the level of graphic fidelity of those advertisements (minus the high AA)

Here's my question, mate. Why am I the one that needs a reality check when you can observe the fanboys in this thread ALL trying to say the game looks like the first screen in REAL TIME gameplay running on their massive 1080p TVs? Are you serious? You can at least make the admission that the screen has been touched up for AA, but why can't everyone? Seriously, it's obvious.well thats easy to explain. You whole approach was flame bait.
If you're trying to show that AA on screenshots is bull, you should have incoporated bullshots for a variety of games. Only focusing on gears 2 make you out to be a Gears 2 graphics basher. Why not use bullshots from MGS4 and Uncharted and Lost Odyssey, etc.
Also, when ever anyone use out rageously bad screenshots, the threads gonna turn into auto flame war... you should have been prepared and yeh, you kinda led everyone down the wrong track.
That's very interesting that the entire batch of real screens are "outrageously bad" screenshots. I ask you to pick your own. Just be prepared to acknowledge which ones are real and which ones are fake. The approach wasn't flamebait, that's a garbage excuse. You're trying to cover for these people, the guys that will eat any crap up, accept any excuse, deny everything, and claim that it's the best-looking game ever. Why SHOULD I use bullshots for any other game? Move your eyes up to the topic line. What does it say? What does it say, tell me. I want to know. I'm blind. I wrote it, you say? Oh, how interesting. Okay, so I wrote that and I simultaneously intended this thread to deal solely with that title. Incredible. If you want a simple answer, nobody was asking for a beatdown on Uncharted, MGS4, or LO. People are asking for a beatdown on GEOW2 in this VERY thread. There's your explanation. If it weren't for the fanboys all through this thread claiming it looks like the bullshot, ALL of them, as though there were a consensus on this complete falsehood, I might not be able to justify this thread as easily as I can. By the way, browse around. I've already gotten down on my knees and made an attempt to please you folks who are whining so hard I can hear it through my computer monitor by addressing MGS4 AND Uncharted, in this very thread, despite the obvious fact that it has nothing to do with either game.
Here's the deal: I already did what I could. I made every concession I could. If you want to make a thread on those, fine. But I'm not going to make an OP filled with screenshot spam or I'm just going to get moderated for flooding. Period.
