[QUOTE="magus-21"][QUOTE="qead"] I don't understand the point you're trying to make... last gen graphics were good, current gen graphics are even better.

My point is that game graphics are 90% artistry, 10% technology. The extra detail in Oblivion doesn't make it look any more beautiful than SotC. In fact, it looks a great deal LESS beautiful (just look at the character's faces for God's sakes, they all look like they have skeletal deformations in their skulls). Games can impress with technology only initially. Once that initial "Wow" factor wears off, it's all about the artistry, and current gen artistry is still lacking. And no, an overabundance of color and fluttering leaves doesn't make a game artistic.Look dude I love both SOTC and GOW 2, I own both of them but when compared to 360 or PS3 graphics? hell no.
Sure they have great art styles but playing them at 480p widescreen on my 1080p TV exposes just how inferior last gen's graphics were. SOTC has great looking collosus with cool looking software effects and animations but the game has SERIOUSLY terrible jaggies and shimmering textures, low res textures, fake overdone HDR, not many objects on screen, blurry jaggy draw distances and a terrible framerate.
GOW 2 also has an awesome art style with sick animations but again bad textures, jaggies.
It's funny that you say Oblivion has bad faces, just zoom in on the main characters face in SOTC and see how terrible it actually looks compared to oblivion's faces.
i dont know you went a little far there, those games dont look bad on an HDTV they look pretty good on mine, infact they looked better. and do the HD code on GOW2 and it takes away all the jaggies and the game looks freakin amazing, much clearer.
