No one said the ps3 dose not (except tinks) anyway back on topic, this thread is all about AW baby!!

And resolutions!!!

how so? how can you say the likes of killzone 2 doesnt take advantage of the PS3's power more so then most games out there. at the end of the day it's PS3 exclusives that get ranted and raved about by gaming outlets, and as far as visuals go, it is ONLY the PS3 that seems to be pushing visuals on consoles (alan wake should change things) killzone 2 was surpassed by uncharted 2 which was surpassed by GOW3....

EVERY website and magazine said each of those where the console kings of graphics when they where released. and the reason for that is because the games are developed FOR the ps3, engines created to work off the strenghts of the console while avoiding the weaknesses. they also have a wealth of knowledge between the development studio's that they can all take from. it's no secret that ND helped GG, and both helped santa monica etc etc. those games are made FOR the PS3 and only the PS3, no PC version, no multiplat release. it's entirely for the one platform. and you can tell. they stand head an shoulders above anything else on the system, and in most cases, console in general. just look at the universal praise they all got, and continue to get.

alan wake is the first game on the 360 that has had that same focus and attention imo. it's the first game that really makes you see what the 360 is REALLY capable of, not the half steps of a multiplatform, middleware engine. not to say gears of war 2 or mass effect wearnt great looking games, but it's a far cry from what alan wake is doing.

there is a big difference between a great looking game and one that actually sets the benchmark on a console. alan wake is undoubtably the benchamark setter for the 360, and i think it will be a for a long time becasue MS dont seem all that interested in it. they'd rather spend 200 million on a marketing campaign.

As they did for both Gears games on release also.

yes, but did those game really take advantage of the 360 hardware? no, they didnt.

even at the time they where being matched by lesser, multiplat developers. if not their own team (UT3)

gears of war is like ratchet and clank or resistance 2 on the Ps3, sure they're really nice looking games, but i certainly wouldnt file them with the likes of GOW3 or uncharted 2. alan wake however, i would, for reasons i've already stated.

there is a difference between a great looking game and one that shows you what can be achieved if the time and money is put into it. for me alan wake is the latter, gears of war is, and always was the former.

gears never made me think i was seeing the peak of a consoles abilities like GOW3 does, i alwasys new there was more in the 360 that simply wasnt being tapped into bcasue MS didnt bother trying. but with alan wake i genuinely think this is the peak of the 360's visuals (give or take) we wont be seeing big improvements from this point on. and the same goes for uncharted 2 and GOW3 on the Ps3. i really dont expect to see the visuals getting better then that on the Ps3 (give or take)

maybe i'm not explaining myself well enough. this isnt a dig at the 360. it's more a case of being confused as to why MS has taken so long to actually TRY to push their visuals forward? i just think it's nice to see a game do it on the 360 for a change. rather then just being content with the level of visual fidelity they've had for years. it's just nice to see them push the limits.

Rubbish!! of course they were tweaked to take advantage on the 360 hardware the devs even said so, and when gears 3 hits it will have been tweaked even more to push the 360's hardware.

What the hell happend to this thread!!!

Edit:

Oh Korn happened, meh.. moving on.

Korn conserve your rage for other things your just wasting good bandwidth when talking about the ps3 here, they see what they want to see and read what they want to.

now back to that resolution that seems to be the only topic the past fucking week...

LOL!!

In short give us new consoles please !!

Edit:- give us Onlive in a world where consoles don't exsist anymore.

god no

Even the Xbox live theme looks awesome!

Yea I was being sarcastic ... well mostly ... I think ... god I'm bored.

Getting back to the resolution thing is it actually 540p ? thats a baby step away from SD resolutions.

I did not think he was so much trolling as pointing out tinks was wrong to a degree

And yeah is that theme free ?
edit : sucks :(

On a side note i hate that zune video thing.. its horribly slow.

QFT!

How was it trolling?
Please run me through his comment and point it out how he was actually trolling, please inform me so.
I would like to see how he was attacking the 360 and this game, so please run me through it.

Or was it because he derailed the conversation from "teh Rez LULZ"

Hell even going to say GoW 1 and 2 don't push the system seems more like actual praise to the machine..

I don't think he was trolling but his opinion is flawed and may appear to be trolling.

I suppose you could say that he is trolling in some ways because he is claiming a subHD game is actually the pinnacle of the 360's potential.

Thats reaching really, i think you will find he is not trying to imply it, because if that was the case.. you know korn, he would say it loud and clear :)
