Why does everyone exaggerate the difference in graphics.

I mean with ghostbuster it was bad, but not that bad. They average consumer won't notice the difference between the Ps3 and 360 version, if so it is kinda small.

Non-gamers need something to argue about I guess.

the smallest of graphical differences is unfortunatelyenough to claim ownage in SW, i've had toadapt to this.

No, I like to claim ownage too, but in the real world it really would not make much of a difference.

Graphics from a technical perspective is one of the least subjective parts of games, therefore when two supposedly identical games come out people primarily rely on the graphics to decide which platform is better off.

Because this is SW.

Logic & reason have little place here

The difference between the 360 and PS3 versions Ghostbusters is hardly "small".

Next gen doesn't start untill Sony says so.

Sony States the 360 isn't next gen just a 1.5 console.

100 fps 2 tere flops of power 4D graphics.

Blu-Ray makes gaming better.

Thats why.

Because if they didn't come on here to exaggerate the minute differences in graphics between most multiplats (of course, there are exceptions like Ghostbusters) and claim supremacy for their console of choice, they would be forced to actually spend time playing the games.

Small difference?

The PS3 version's reslution is 960x540. :lol: And I'll bet the framerate ain't to steady either.

Thats a far cry from those days of1080p and 120fps.

Who ya gonna call? Not teh cell,its dead on its feet trying to cope with an average looking multiplat. :lol:

Oh yeah but If Sony hypes somthing cows are all over it claiming it as the next coming. I remember some threads circulating touting over the PS3 version of Ghostbusters and how the 360 is maxed out and done for.

It wouldn't be system wars without exaggertated differences.

Besides, I wouldn't go and say Sony isn't delivering seeing that Ghostbusters happens to be made by a 3rd party developer. Killzone 2, Uncharted, and all of the great looking Sony exclusives in the native 720p say that Sony does deliver the HD.

Again, do you count the pixels when you play? I play Halo 3 and its sub HD and think it looks fantastic. Who cares? On a console you have the beauty of being able to do tricks like that, as long as whats on the TV looks good.

I do care. Having a low res is not about "counting pixels", a higher res can significantly enhance the way a game looks by showing off sharper details. Also the way they bloat so much about "true HD" when so many of these games don't even make it to average "HD" seems pretty pathetic to me.

Thats not the point though.

Sony touted the PS3 has the must have HD system.

Yet a good proportion of their games. in relation to the 360. run in sub-HD.

You're right,the general public probably won't notice this,and thats what Sony is banking on; to cover up the fact that for a lot of game developers,making games for the ps3 is a pain in the ass,and the result is PS3 owners have to pay the same as their 360 owning friends for an inferior product.

That just ain't right.

The only people that exaggerate differences are xbox360 fanboys because thats really all they have to brag about(oh...and sales of course!!!)

Which are pretty important. There is more downplaying then exaggeration going on here.

The PS3 cost more but you get less even with forced installs, who wants to deal with that?

Yes they are paying less..and they are getting less.

Exaggerate my ***... I'm a PC gamer, but my buddy has both consoles. The PS3 sucks...-GeordiLaForge-

I honestly don't even think the PC version(s) of games are that much better looking beside the Frame-rate, the rez, and AA but it get to the point where you really just can't see the big difference, this will be even more prevelent next-gen.

Why is it people make a big deal about this being the "HD generation" and talk about how much better 720p is over "SD resolutions", but when a mid range PC does the game at more than twice the resolution of consoles and still squeezes in some AA and AF they are not impressed and scrutinize the differences?

If Gears of War 2, Halo 3, Killzone 2 or Uncharted 2 did 1080p they would be shouting it from the rooftops.

It's because it is new..

Camer999

Only it's not new, they took a PC res from the 1990s, chopped it down to 16:9, called it 720p and marketed it as being some sort of revolution in gaming resolution. The 2005 conferences were talking about it like it was some previously impossible achievement, when in fact PC gamers were pushing more pixels before the PS2 launched.

Oblivion, 2560x1600, 16x AF, perfectly playable frame rate.

THAT is a true next generation resolution, yet it seems console users would turn their noses up at it. They don't care because it is beyond the capability of their systems, if they could access it then it would suddenly matter and people would fight over it.

Today you are telling me it doesn't matter, just like consoles did with PC resolutions like 1280x1024 last gen. In the future when TV's support the res and hence so do consoles people will be marveling at the resolution and laughing at console games under that standard, as they do with 720p now.
