I wanna hear from people at SW on which they mostly refer to when they talk about how good the graphics are either by looking at screenshots or gameplay vids..

Honestly, i would prefer watching them in actions rather than looking at screenshots cuz to me they're like the B&B Unit in vice-versa -- beauty on the outside; major awful on the inside..

Example: a lot of people thought MGS4 had bad graphics based on its textures but look how that game turned out.

vote and discuss.

Screenshots mean nothing.

Lair looks beautiful on screenshots, then you play it and realize not so good.

Hence why Gamespot and other such game sites review the actual game and not screen shots. :wink:

Screenshots are good to analyze the graphic and tech behind the games.

Lair looks beautiful on BULLSHOT screenshots, then you play it and realize not so good.

If the gameplay videos aren't HD, I need screenshots too.

you can tell how fun a game looks by a screenshot/video i find. that's why i think killzone 2 will be bleak. you've all been fooled by motion blurs.

easily gameplay .. because that never lies, if its hd and direct feed

for every game, you can get screenshots that look great and others that look horrible

plus, ultimately you're gonna play a game, not watch a bunch of screenshots .. *insert some framrate joke here*
