Honest non-fanboy question. Why do PS3 exclusives look so amazing?

Uncharted 3 looks great in some areas and not so good in other areas. I fail to see why KZ3 is even considered.

[QUOTE="emgesp"][QUOTE="Master_ShakeXXX"]

FFS the 360 can produce visuals that are just as good. Hitman Ab Solution looks better than any PS3 exclusive and it's on 360.

Halo 4 looks just as good as any PS3 exclusive.

Master_ShakeXXX

Why do people still bring these two games up in graphics threads? One is 2 years old and the other is 3 years old. Yes they still look good, but they've been surpassed by numerous games now. Hitman Absolution certainly looks better. And KZ3's visuals are overrated. If you want a good argument for best looking exclusive just use Uncharted 3 (and I still think Hitman looks better on consoles).

[QUOTE="planbfreak4eva"][QUOTE="delta3074"]It is, But only Margianlly and thats theoretical anyway, The Bottom line is they Both have Strengths and weakness, One thing Halo 4 Proved is that the 360 Can Match the Ps3 in Grphical Fidelity but just like PS3 games it sacrificed Scale to do that, Halo 4 is the best looking Halo to Date, but for me, it was also the most linear, it aslos shows waht you can do with A huge Budget.delta3074

[QUOTE="emgesp"][QUOTE="planbfreak4eva"] if ps4 and 720 come out on the same day same price. do you really think 720 will succeed? only reason ps3 was behind is because everyone jumped ship and bought xbox360 cause the people wanted to play next gen consoles and didnt want to wait for a year. even with the price ps3 had, it is neck to neck with 360 in sales. it has been 1 year less on the market. and 1 and half years less everyone else...planbfreak4eva

Because the games are ultra-linear?

[QUOTE="emgesp"] Sorry, but Hitman Absolution doesn't look better than KZ3, God of War 3, or Uncharted 2/3. emgesp

Hitman definitely looks better. It also manages to have more open levels.

Hitman looks solid, but I don't think it surpasses the best 1st party Sony titles in terms of visuals.

Nah, there was a thread here a few days ago where people were admiring it's graphics (the PC version). I still think the console versions look great though. Better than anything else on consoles at this current juncture in time. It looks most impressive when there's large crowds of people as well (can't believe they were able to pull that off on 6 and 7 year old hardware). It really is an outstanding game. Unfortunately there's always going to be diehard fans who simply hate changes, and Absolution made quite a few.

[QUOTE="PinnacleGamingP"][QUOTE="delta3074"]i think most of the changes improved the game significantly, especially Streamlining the interaction interface, you used to have to scroll through the options like Drag body or Change disguise using the Dpad then hit the Y button, i just have to push The button corresponding to the Option i want now, it just feels like a more streamlined hitman to me.delta3074

I can't make any sense of this post so I'll just assume you're agreeing with me :P

As far as character models go I'd say they're about on par, maybe giving Uncharted 3 the slight edge. But Hitman does some really impressive and cool looking things with it's lighting effects and environments that put it noticeably a head of Uncharted 3 (or anything else on consoles for that matter). And when you take into account the size of Hitman's environments and the ridiculous number of NPCs onscreen in certain levels (with minimal framerate drops), there's really no comparison. Hitman stomps it on a technical level.

[QUOTE="PinnacleGamingP"][QUOTE="delta3074"]Play the Game and you may get a clue,loldelta3074

Would it hurt you to try and act mature, just once? Seriously I want to see it right now. Just type out one single post (with minimal spelling and grammatical errors) and attempt to flesh out your opinion as much as you possibly can with zero insults towards another poster or their favorite game system. Give reasons for why you feel the way you do. If you can manage that simple task right now I will praise you as an awesome poster.

They look good for console standards.

If you only care about graphics, get a PC or 360.

[QUOTE="planbfreak4eva"] fanboy? thanks. i am just predicting, markets shift left and right and with enough knowledge and data. you can find possible outcomes. i tell you this. if kinect never came out, 360s sales would have been so down, it wouldnt even be funny. kinect gave it a push. and a really big one in terms of salesPinnacleGamingP

maybe they would, maybe the wouldn't

hopefully one day you'll look back at the things you you're saying today, and facepalm in shame

Ly_the_Fairy

inFamous 2 is one of the best looking open-world games on consoles, only beaten maybe by RDR. But then again, the amount of stuff that happens on screen in inFamous 2 is way bigger than in RDR and still keeps a steady framerate.

Your logic is invalid

Infamous 2 doesn't look better than AC3, FC3 and hell I'd be as bold as to say it doesn't look better than Skyrim.

When you look at the specs, especially the ram I just can't understand how it can produce visuals like we see in KZ3, Uncharted 3 and the God of War series. I mean Sony's 1st party developers must be magicians, or something. Even if the PS4 is only 5-6x more powerful than the PS3 I can only imagine what those same devs can do with the extra horsepower. Is the Cell processor really that great compared to the Xenon when developers take advantage of it?

emgesp

It was a well known factor that even Crysis 2 looks better than all of Sony's first party titles and Crysis 2 is a third party game.

Meh. Halo 4, Gears of War 3 and Forza 4/Horizon are as good as or marginally better or worse than everything I've seen on the PS3.

That said, It all comes down to developer priorities. Many of the PS3's best looking games (Hello there, Uncharted) are also incredibly linear. It's far easier to make a game look good with such a limited scope compared to something like Crysis. Same goes for the 360. Well, except Forza Horizon. It's amazing how good that game looks for being entirely open world.

I see nothing amazing about 720p, 30 fps with drops, very little AA, terrible LOD and draw distance, amazingly linear environments, low-res flat textures, 2D sprites, pre-baked lighting, bad shadow filtering, etc.

Uncharted 3 has decent character models and great animations though, I'll give it that.

To answer your question, PS3 exclusives look amazing to you because you have low standards.

Time and budget, not to mention the levels are small as **** Especially with GOW3 and the fixed camera. Halo 4 looks on par and has levels way bigger than all those games. Forza 4 and Hoirzon look great. Horizon is probably the best looking open world racing game on consoles.

It's the power of the Cell. Not possible on Xbox 360.
