Ok... I gotta ask what the hell they're ding to get those screen captures. I own GTA4 on the PS3 and my roommate has it for 360, and neither one is that dark. This leads me to believe that the other games shown here aren't that dark either. I mean... those shots makes the PS3 appear unplayable based on how dark it is alone.
Using still images to compare things in motion isn't what I would call a reliable test. Yes, there is a difference. Yes, one could argue that one is better than the other. But, what about anything that may be sacrificed on the other end? Does the better image suffer more glitches or slow down? IS there texture tearing and artifacting? What about sound quality? And that flower bull in the soul calibur comparison? Does GS not realize the blur in the background is suppossed to mimic what your eyes do in the real world and enhance the 3-D effect? That's like saying the blurred corners in CoD4 look bad when they're there to give the feeling of peripheral vision.
The big gains for this game came in the backgrounds. Mario looks only a tad better, thanks primarily to the lighting giving more contrast, but the backgrounds are considerably better, thanks to better teturing and again, the lighting. It's not as drastic as Metroid Prime 3, and in all honesty, doesn't wow me, since I've witnessed the 360 and PS3, but it is still good. The only thing i don't like about this game, and the Wii in general, is that it's 480p only. It looks terrible on my HDTV, but amazing on my standard set.
The first pokemon games were in black and white, and did not give kids seizures. It was the pokemon cartoon, and one episode in particular, that did it. This is rough, but it can't beat the playstation undergorund disc that had a playable demo of a really hyped up game (Can't remember the name for the life of me) that erased memory cards. Everyone I know doesn't keep games in their DSes, but everyone keeps memory cards in their PS2s >.>
