I really hope nobody takes Gamespot comparisons seriously. The only thing i use gamespot nowadays is screen-shots, news, and maybe previews. It really surprises me that people hardly dispute these graphics comparison they occasionally do. Not only are they they filled with there bias, subjective opinions, but they fail to take into account a few factors. Take GTA4 for example, on PS3 several sources have claimed the PS3 version has less pop in, but also has other graphical superiority's. In spite of this, gamespot ALWAYS goes for the 360 version :|
On the technical side of things, The PS3 is a much more advanced console. It has 8 cores (1 main, 7 slave) and its infamous cell processor. The 360 on the hand has 3 main cores. Its inferior to the 360, but, its easier to develop on. this has lead to several multiplats having slightly better textures/frame rates etc. But now developers are getting used to PS3 hardware, graphics are improving all the time on multiplat titles, and in few cases are superior on PS3. This of course, is also based on subjective opinion. In my experience, the only way you would notice graphical differences between formats is by running the games side by side, which i doubt anyone but bias gaming have done.
And as for exclusives games, the PS3 really shines. Heres some screenshots.
Gears of war 1/2: (probably 360 best looking game)
(killzone 2, PS3 exclusive)
You have to see killzone 2 in motion to be honest, but most gamers agree its the best looking thing on consoles.
Finally, uncharted. Its quite hard to find a shot of this game in its full glory. its best experienced in motion on hi-def tv, but its absolutly stunning:
As far as i'm concerned, PS3 is the clear winner graphics wise. These low-res shots from IGN do either console justice, but ive seen both gears and uncharted from start to finish, and nothing tops uncharted console wise. multi-plat titles have a advantage on 360 of havings its simpler architecture, and might do for some time to come in a few cases. Oh, and before hermits come into this thread with there crysis screenshots, id just like to say, if you can afford the computer to actually run it on high, you deserve them. I re-installed crysis today and it would only word at a certain resolution, otherwise i was looking at a black screen with talking eyeballs. I can only run the game on low, and i have a 8800GTS.
