So now we are counting game pixels? This is too low even for SW standards.

Halo 3, MGS4, COD4, and now we are sitting two inches from the screen counting pixels and looking for aliasing in GTA4? WTF? What happened to the days where we just buy the game and just enjoy it. How did we as gamers have suddenly felt we had to see how many pixels that are accounted for and if the developers put either 2x AA or no AA? Is it running at 30fps or 60fps? Does this multiplate game look better on X console because his forehead looks curvier? This is truly sad and down right pathetic for Lems, Cows, Hermits, and sheep.

It all started with all you Cows bashing the 360 for Halo 3 being 640. Now you all are crying about how we count pixels... well look in the mirror because your all the reason. It sucks when your argument about a game backfires when your system starts putting out games with the same problem.

All is fair in love and system wars. Honetly, I agree with you. The gamers that are doing these things you described are not as "hardcore" as they seem. They are far from hardcore.

Well, even though I do agree that having a consistent and favorable framerate is a reasonable preference, counting pixels is being too obsessive.

This game got what it deserved because it was supposed to be a HD game but didn't even make it to the low end of being a HD game. I think I saw something about a court case sueing M$ for false advertizing this game. If it's so it will be interesting to see what happens in the end.

Except Quaz51, the guy who revealed the GTAIV resolution, actually said that he prefers the PS3 version in many respects....

suspected it had better lighting and better post-processing effects and echoed that it had less pop-in.

He may not be right, but sure as **** if he said it. It's right there on the B3D forums.

You can't exactly say Halo 3 looks much better than any PS3 exclusive, and that's no paltry junk right there. That's serious biz.

Too low for System Wars standards? SW has no standards, its just low.

If it aint broken, dont fix it.
If its broken beyond repair, laugh at its stupidness.

I couldn't give a rats _____ about pixels as long as the game looks good. However it's still worth noting only because companies are trying to pawn these games off as being "TEH 1080P...!!!" But I agree it's petty for us to argue about it. FPS is REALLY important IMHO because it effects a game if it runs poorly... *looking at you Mass Effect*..

The major features of both the PS3 and 360 that have been touted as advantages are HD resolutions and high frame rates. When games are incapable of achieving those touted advantages, they are knocked.

Did we complain about this during the days we played games in beautiful 240i?

Stop your complaining and play the games... don't nitpick.

res and fps matter if you've grown accustomed to good quality. If you go back and play Bomberman for instance you are expecting basic graphics. If you play the next Metal Gear Solid on the next Playstation, you are going to expect a lot lot more, even from the last installment.

Theres nothing worse than watching a slide-show game chugg along at 10x7 and waiting for load times as and whored-up garish light covers blurry textures make for a plastic and fake experience while jaggies top the mess because the game was a rushed peice of hype-cake served up by casual market publishers with no gaming souls.

If we stopped counting pixels and expecting more from companies like Ubisoft, EA, T2, Activision, Capcom, Konami, we will have our young and fragile market FLOODED with cheap knock-offs that look half as good as they could be.
