How to create good graphics on console

Since consoles are seven years old, they simply can't compete with a PC, but not to fear, in 3 easy steps ill show you how to make Next gen cinematic visuals!

Step 1

How does the game actually look? well bad of course, as expected from a seven year old console

Step 2

Add heaps of bloom, since consoles can't handle actual good lighting, when in doubt, Bloom out!

Step 3

Still Not next gen enough, console gamers might actually notice the bad textures, we can't have that now can we?

So, add a blue filter! now they won't ever notice the bad graphics! and if anyone questions you about the blue filter, claim it's for the "cineamtic" art style

And before anyone claims this isn't true, many of the "best" looking console games have color filters, for some reason a lot of them blue.

The 1st ss looks better than the 3rd.

Halo 4 looks awesome.freedomfreak

I know. It's hilarious that the TC actually chose such a good looking game.

Except you know, the mountain in the background is 2D, did you actually play the game?

Yep. Completed the campaign on Legendary, and am currently on a co-op Legendary run with my brother. As well as diving into the MP. I'm probably at around 20 hours in the game, amongst all aspects.

So good graphics means you need to fully render a background in 3D... Even though it isn't being utilized for the actual level?

[QUOTE="FPSfan1985"] Many of the best looking games in general have color grading. In fact damn near every vision media uses some kind of color grading.FPSfan1985

Yes, I was focused on the 2d mountains in the background the whole time and commenting on how it was ruining my gaming experiance.

Halo 4 looks good in the cutscenes ill admit, but in game? Nah, it looks pretty mediocre.

Its lighting that keeps console games looking better. Crysis 2 had good lighting but the textures were PS2 level.

The game does actually look very good in real life but I've noticed that I invariably think these games look better before they add the stupid colour filter.

[QUOTE="FPSfan1985"] That could be said for every console game. But when compared to other console games. Halo 4 does in fact look damn good.FPSfan1985

all it takes is a $50 GPU to beat console graphics.

[QUOTE="FPSfan1985"] Which is pointless. My GPU alone costs more than a 360. It better have better graphics.el3m2tigre

i am real. how much to you think a GPU equivalent to a 8800GTX(from 2006 than completely destroyed console) in performance cost? no more than $50 that is for sure.

There are plenty of great looking games on consoles, call me crazy but I find people on here tend to overexaggerate PC graphics BIG time.

No, I have played plenty of games on my friends super rig including Skyrim, MW3, Witcher 2 and more. I only noticed a slighly better performance at best.

That's normal man. When your eyes are used to seeing subpar visuals on consoles then they are forever ruined. It's a scientific fact that staring at images for many years of console quality will make you unable to see greatness when it is in front of you. For us of the master race, when I see console quality visuals I get sick to my stomach and then vomit.
