Poll WTF is Sony having so much trouble with Foliage? (9 votes)

It will never improve, they don't have the tech. 33%
Sony loves pollution, going green last priority. 33%
It may improve over time. 33%

Since the PS2, Every Sony console and handheld has had the most ABYSMAL foliage I have ever seen. Trees, grass, etc, anything green, has always looked like shit over and over and over again.

It only looks DECENT in BULLSHOTS but during gameplay?

Why am I seeing Ratchetandclank 2 foliage in Knack? Why are the shadows from the sun always freaking off and make trees in many of the gameplay videos of future exclusives look like they were drawn with a marker?

I seriously ask you, pick up your PSP, your PS2, your PS2, Your Vita, and your PS4 if you have one and look at the foliage. Why is that such a problem?

SOMETIMES Third-parties can do it a bit better, but often it still gets a hit.

NOW I AM NOT SAYING that Sony can't do graphics or anything, I am just saying that they never have been able to do foliage since the PSX. HOWEVER, Nintendo is not that much better. The DS, N64, and Wii(most of the time) are no kings.

I don't understand. Is this a real thread?

Far as I can tell, an actual human expended brain power and energy towards the goal of writing...but the results of their time and effort force me to question the quality of our K-12 educational systems.

come on guys both ps3 and x1 are beasts. the problem with them is they lack games atm they are not worth it, it only they had backward compatibility.

either way graphically they are impressive and this is just launch titles. by the end of the gen games will look multiple time better on those consoles. jus tlook at the 360 and ps3 launch titles and compare them to later title.

If you have to ask that question, I'm assuming you've never played Crysis 3 on PC?

The console version of Far Cry 2 is foliage king (on consoles), superior even to Far Cry 3 where they really castrated the Dunia engine.

Fable 2 (or was it 3) had billions of handmade leaves. Hard to compete with that

Far Cry 2 has terrible, awful, 2D, Doom-era foliage that is a single flat texture that turns with you as you move.

The trees and stuff were ok but the majority of it just looked cheap and bad. I was really happy when FC3 dropped and it didn't have that.
