oh man someone is going to be pissed when they see that someone threw water on that HDTV.

i said lol

games on both the ps3 and 360 that you'd think should make such a list didn't.

i dunno, could it be that graphics are to a degree subjective?
 
Maybe they skipped judging games from screenshots? :)

and based their judgement on how it looked on HDTV displays in motion.
 
I thought that both White Knight and GoW were there? Also - and I know everyone will agree with me here - MGS4 still has a ways to go. The textures I can live because sum>parts, but the animation in gameplay is really horrid.
 
Well both the Gamespot and 1UP guys raved about RR7 and it's 1080p graphics. I guess it's something you have to see in person to really know how great it is. Or maybe they could start releasing 1080p videos :D
 
I love when people say things like this (most often seen for MGS:4 and FFXIII) because they are unwittingly paying the game a very high compliment.

I'm sorry. Controller in hand?? No? 'Nuff said.

Let me know when one of you guys actually gets to PLAY MGS4, then it can make an awards list.

Holy Jesus Christ i hope there isn't anybody that thinks this look good there.

I thought devs figured already that ****ing water on the screen imply i'm a god damned camera and kills the immersion. This shit is good only for "driver's visor" view.

You're too harsh and this really drives home judging these game from home vs actually being at the event. That screen had just been used to demo Fight Night.
 
Im really not sure why anyone is paying attention to Gamepro at this point. They've been a useless POS since I was a kid.

The fact that DOAX2 made the list and Gears of War did not is about all you need to know. Hell, how does Lost Planet make the list and not DMC4? They use the same engine after all and firey monster dude is as cool looking as anything in Lost Planet...

I just have a hard time not calling shenanigans on this.

I will stick up for Ridge Racer. Ridge Racer 6 is in many ways one of the best looking 360 titles as well. It just looks very plain in screenshots.. but the silky smooth clean look the game has looks great. RR7 seems to look about like RR6 with a little better texture detail.
 
I've got an X360 which I love, have always disliked the playstations, but damn that F1 game is amazing... I may have to buy a PS3 afterall.

Should've been White Knight Story. How in the world did that game get overlooked? Not even making the top 8 at all?
because it looks just like a next gen fable? did no sony fan play fable? thats the only thing that would make the white knight love understandable. maybe you gus just dont know any better.:)

So um, what do you consider yourself to be 'viewing into/from' when the view isn't cockpit in any racing game?

Thats right, a camera. Just as if you were watching it on T.V. What happens to the cameras when it rains during a telecast? They get water on the screen.

Its far LESS realistic and immersive for it to be bucketing down water without seeing it represented on screen. Hell you'd make a better point if it was in cockpit view, since then it'd be representing through a humans eyes which aren't going to be all streaked like that.

WTF are you talking about? Nothing about WKS resembles Fable, from the graphics to gameplay is all different.

ROFL no F1? What a joke.

Agreed. The jump in performance between the E3 and TGS build was huge. This gives a good indication of how Ps3 games over the next few years will evolve ahead of the rest. I'm all set at a Wii+PS3 config...

Do yourself a favor and watch that before making an ass out of yourself.

You're seriously saying its Fable because they're both set in a forest? WTF?

ummm...no? not only do they both look to have the same time setting, they both have that non turn based adventure RPG gameplay.

You know the time setting?

And WKS' gameplay looked the same as Fable to you?

Same time setting? There's a giant monster with a city on its back that you have to killlllllll....





please do not compare fable to WKS.

i'm just going by the video i saw. first thing i though was wow that looks like a really next gen fable. whats thing about a city on monsters back? vids! :D the vid i saw was the forest one and the characters had that medieval look just like fable and the surroundings looked like well fable and then when the combat started that also IMO looked like...more fable.

Fable is a hack-and-slash adventure, WKS looked more like a semi-turn-based game similar to KOTOR. Apart from swords they have nothing in common with each other from a (combat) gameplay standpoint.
 
oh guys, he's serious.

Ok Bud. Far be it from me to want to go against the lemming grain, I'd hate to get banned for not assimilating into the collective. So here ya go.

MGS4 OWNZZZZ YOUR ^@M FH

FTW FTW FTW!!! TOUCHDOWN!!!!

Go trailers!! ;)

I'm assuming you've played one RPG in your life...Fable.
 
If the full 1080p that some PS3 games are hitting is 1920x1080p (as opposed to something like 1280x1080p, which can be done), we're talking literally pushing over double the pixels as 720p. You will be able to apply more effects at 720p than at 1080p. But if the mags all start splooging over 1080p Ridge Racer versus 720p F1, my biggest fear is that the devs start targeting everything for 1080p. Even the low-res shots of F1 look way better than what they've shown of RR7.

Graphics whores, meet the pixel sluts.

:lol close. i tend to stay away from turn based RPGs. Stuff like Zelda, Fable, Shining the Holy Ark are more my thing. White Knight looked more actiony and the menues look as if you're arming your party then hacking it up. as far as the setting goes, here

keep in mind thats last gen but come on. how does that not have similarities?

Damn I love GAF. I like that name. But how do you know F1 isn't running at 1080p?

Those are all single-character games, WKS is a multi-character game. 80% of rpgs are "medevial", and pretty much 99.9% of them have a forest of some kind. I believe forests existed on Earth before they appeared in Fable, although I am unable to confirm this.
 
Too bad this "award" is no different than, say, having the best record during spring training in baseball. It has very little to do with how good the game is going to be.

I see a pattern emerging, and it's not just Shane talking...

Wow, amazing. Could this be the first time a system came out a year later than its competition and had better graphics?

hmmmm....last time i checked, final fantasy, the tales games, lost odessy, blue dragon, ad almost every other major japanese RPG didnt really seem medieval. Its not just the forest but the art direction. even the way the characters are designed and dressed. so if you wanna say the only real difference is fable has 1 character while WKS is multi character, i guess that works. :)

Somewhere there was a list of the six games running in 1080p, F1 wasn't on the list. Also, the screenshots are 1280x720.

That's one reason I was expecting a slight PS3 edge, but as I said on the first page, it seemed as if many people were expecting the systems to be exactly the same. I can remember many posts on this forum with that sentiment, although they don't seem to be as common these days.

...what? FFXII looks medieval crossed with futuristic elements, FFIX was the same, and the characters in WKS look NOTHING like the protagonist from Fable. Hell even the forest looks completely different.

Fable and WKS share no common visual art direction. You're nuts :)

Gamepro said:
Sony's off-road racer was one of the most impressive trailers from E3 in 2005, but it's long absence had many wondering where the heck it raced off to. But MotorStorm is back with a vengeance and it easily makes our list of best-looking games at TGS.

In the trailer last year, critics speculated that the trailer wasn't actually in game footage, but last the Sony event last night proved the video was actually for real. MotorStorm is an ATV-style off-road race with some truly incredible particle effects, mapping, and physics that looks to be one of the most promising PS3 titles, not only in terms of graphics, but gameplay as well.

o_O
 
The reactions of people who were actually at the show seem to indicate that you can no longer get a good feel for the graphics of a game by watching a 20fps low res video on the internet.

This would also imply that Nintendo is going to have a problem without a HD console.
