I feel you Tc. Yo bad most people here don't understand that HD =/= better graphics. It just means crisper lines and sharper text. I personally think they should make all next gen games at 1280 x 1024 and have them fitted for 16:9. This would make for a nice crisp image with a lot more power for better graphics.

Actually HD = Better Graphics (as long as you're not sacrificing other aspects of your graphics)

HD is like putting on a pair of glasses, a higher resolution allows you to see higher resolution textures, higher res normal maps, reflecttions and more than anything, you can see the edges of objects much more clearly.

Put simply, it enables you to see the game world being rendered before you in much higher detail!

Having said that, TC does have a point even if it is not very well explained. What he is saying, like others have pointed out that some of the system resources being used by the consoles in making an improvement in number of polys being rendered, size of the game world being rendered, lighting, textures etc are all taking a slight hit in video memory and other resources because the console is trying to render the game at a higher display resolution.

However, TC is also wrong, because eventually there is a point reached where rendering an object with higher and higher numbers of polygons and higher resolution textures becomes pointless. It's pointless because because of the display resolution, you cannot 'see' these improvements. (unless you go really close to an object!)

Wow can't wait to move my hand to scroll through lists of movies, while my laughing family praises MS... lol.

Seriously though, I'm not buying it if it does come to PC. I prefer my mouse and keyboard, thank you very much.

The keyboard will be replaced one day. Change will happen it just a matter of when don't be afraid of it.

i really can't see what could replace the keyboard. short of mind control, everything else would be impractical or just plain suck. i couldn't be bothered doing simple things like a message on gamespot through voice control and a touch interface will just be a keyboard without physical buttons.

The keyboard has shown to be both practical and universally easy to use. it has so many possibilities that other technologies that we currently have can't achieve.

it will be replaced but i'll probably be dead by time they come up with something better than a keyboard to replace it. i think mind control is the best way to go right now, it's just how it will be done.

yeah, its not going replace keyboards..

..but it will make delivering presentations very interesting. It could add a whole new dimension to powerpoint and my job :P

It's going to come to PC, mark my words lol. I have zero proof, but I've been into PC gaming long enough to know if a game is coming or not...if that makes any sense lol.

On consoles, yes, it's the general consensus that it is.Floppy_Jim

general consensus on system wars = proportion of cows / lems

There are a lot of cows around here lately imho!

While I agree Killzone 2 is arguably the console graphics king it really is getting annoying to hear people claiming games like Gears 2 cannot be compared. They can, Gears in terms of textures, especially in bump/normal mapping, specular/reflection mapping and in particular model detail! There are some areas that Gears 2 exceeds Killzone 2.

Saying 'they cannot compare' is rubbish. Trust me, this is coming from a PC gamer where compared to console games, we see a huge difference in screen resolution, AA, AF, polycount etc etc. Trust me the games are very much comparable :lol:

I think some of you cows are going waaaay over the top on bashing Alan Wake. Firstly, can I point out, there seems to be a lot of you guys aswell. Whilst I agree, its not the graphics king, I also agree its not the console graphics king but I do think its pretty darn close. I mean compared to say Uncharted 2, putting aside the fact it has much larger open environments to render, the game appears to me atleast to have comparable textures, bump mapping, reflection and specular mapping, poly count, HDR, realtime lighting etc.

Whilst we're on the topic of Uncharted, some of you cows also need to start being more objective in describing Uncharted 2 as the new console graphics king, instead of just stating it as such! I mean come on, at least tell us, what specifically sets it apart, because from my own personal viewpoint, its textures, reflection/specular, bump maps, lighting, polycount have all been done to a very comparable level in many many other console games...yet you talk about it as if there is a huge generational leap with this one game.

Guys, please lets have some objectivity, no?

"The Definitive racing game of the Generation" "This is the Definitive racing game of the Generation" "The Definitive racing game of the Generation" "To make it the Definitive racing game of the Generation" "The Definitive racing game of the Generation" "Definitive racing game of the Generation" "The Definitive racing game of the Generation" Shut it!!Shhadow_Viper

OK, I think you should put that into some kind of context. At the very least, T10 have praised Polyphonic, they even talked up the GT series as something they were aiming to beat, they recognised that the GT series set the bar and provided much of the inspiration for Forza etc. That is showing muh much more humility than what Polyphonic do with the "real driving sim", which implies Forza is...umm somehow fake? I mean is that what they're trying to imply, Forza is not a 'real driving sim' ??

Just my thoughts

1. This has nothing to do with one gaming demographic's 'skill' over another
2. It is simply down to number of players playing the game, more 360 players playing the game = more kills
3. If this IS ownage over PS3 users then its really very weak ownage, it means nothing more than a particular game is selling more!

[QUOTE="cowgriller"]

i gave pics that showed that gears is visiually better than uncharted and yet you refuse to admit it. plain and simple.

cowgriller

You are aboslutley correct. I am refusing to admit that your opinion=fact. As long as we can agree it's your opinion we are good.

The pic did not prove that Gears is better graphically than Uncharted. They are both great looking games. Lighting and texture wise you will have to provide more pics than then one you posted. While 360 does do textures better, ps3 is able to compenaste by doing other things better as witnessed by KZ2 being crowned console graphics keing by many video game review sites. I refuse to take your opnion as fact. Because in the end that's what it is, and opinion. I can agree and say that Gears 2 is an awesome looking game, and gameplay wise is very, very exciting. I preferred Uncharted for the story, and Tomb Raider-esque gameplay.

it's not opinion. it is FACT. those pictures show that gears 2 clearly has better textures, lighting and effects compared to uncharted.

[QUOTE="DAZZER7"]

To be honest, I dont know how they will score a title like this. Its obviously not going to have multiplayer and the game content a full title would normally have. Therefore, will it be reviewed to the same standard as say Gears of War or Halo 3? Will it be reviewed where its lower price is taken into account?

kholdstare61

lol I don't know, I don't even think they review arcade games do they?
