This thread is laughable.

If this thread wouldv'e been comparing gameplay options and multiplayer I think Halo would have had a distinct advantage but the thread creator went against PS3 exclusives comparing graphics and as far as consoles go, that's not really a competitive feild for the Xbox. Exclusive devs have learned how to use the PS hardware very well and it shows.

If Xbox fans want to compare multiplatform games then that's a different story. Multiplatform devs don't like to spend the extra time and money to learn how to take advantage of the PS3 hardware so they are just trying to port the games straight from PC or Xbox, which is why they dont usuallylook or run as good. Theyre trying to make a code thats built to run on 3-4x core processor (Xbox/PC) when the PS3 is theoretically a single core with 7 SPE's which need to be coded seperately. To take advatange of the Cell processor you need to develop an engine that uses all the SPE's to their max which Naughty Dog (Uncharted), Guerrilla Games(Killzone), and Sony Santa Monica (God of War) have done...and it shows...

It's sad the other 3rd party studios never made an engine from the ground up to support the Cell/PS3, because if they did multiplats would have looked alot better on the PS3 than they do on the Xbox I'm pretty sure of it. But doesn't Microsoft have 3rd parties sign contracts stating that they will not make their games look or be inferior to the same games on the competitors machines? So it seems even if the devs made an engine to make the PS3 version superior microsoft wouldnt allow their games to be sold, really hurting the devs sales....microsoft protecting inferioir technology, who knew?!?!

Bought Killzone 2 around release and didn't like it. Never played Killzone 3 because of this. Bought and beat Halo 1, 2, 3 and Reach. The Halo series is a much better series. RyanShazam

Well this thread was suppose to be a GRAPHICS comparison between Halo 4 and Killzone 3, not really which game has better gameplay because that would be strictly opinion. I beleive it somehow became Gears 3 vs Killlzone 3 and Uncharted 3. But TBH from the gameplay shots I've seen Gears 3 is alittle closer competitor to Uncharted and Killzone than Halo 4 is, but it's still slightly behind due to subpar lighting effects and a few more low rez textures. But it is a very good looking game and is the closest competitor I've seen from the Xbox.

If we were really looking at Digital Foundry as being the end all be all of graphical opinions this quote from Digital Foundry vs Uncharted 3 might also help, "Where Uncharted 3 is peerless and unparalleled is in its ability to defy the technological constraints of current-generation platforms,.." the words peerless and unparreleled usually mean something to most people when comparing graphics.

I doubt even this quote from the horses mouth would help you understand when seeing screens for yourself hasnt worked. I know for myself that a few games made me forget I was playing a console and not a high end PC this generation...and they weren't on Xbox, but to each their own.

Did they say UC3 and Killzone 3 are the most advanced games on a console or are you making that up as you go?

Why would an article assessing the graphics of Gears 3 mention a different game? If they did they would get a ton of hate mail/comments. Digital Foudnry does not do that.

"One of the most advanced games this gen"

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-vs-gears-of-war-3

Apparently, it's debatable!

Gears 3 is ONE OF the most advanced games this gen from a tech/graphical standpoint I agree. But Killzone 3 and Uncharted 2-3 IS THE most advanced looking games this gen of counsoles bar none, due to the fact that almost the entire screen is full of Hi-rez textures and lighting thoughout the game.

Granted with Xbox's most advanced game Gears 3 they do look close I'll give you that, but if you have a keen eye for graphics like I mentioned KZ3 and Uncharted 2-3 look slightly better due to more hi-rez textures and lighting on screen ( not just the characters and weapons).

Sony fanboys are too arrogant to accept it!

You continue to post but conviently forget to mention the screens posted. I don't think anyone will claim gears textures/lighting are as good throughout the entire scene. once again the devs seemed to use high rez textures on characters and weapons but semi= low rez on the ground/objects similar to what they do in Halo. I do think gears looks better than halo though texture wise but it's still below KZ/Uncharted, and it's really not debatable by anyone who has a keen eye for graphics.

I just posted some pics of both Uncharted and Gears, you must've missed them oh well. As for features xbox games tend to have a ton of co-op features in their campaigns which I like alot. But as far as graphics I really think SONY has showed this gen that if devs took the time to learn how to harness the power of their machine which isn't easy, the results are the best graphics on current consoles. Next gen they will go for the easier to develop hardware (no Cell)so I think their wont be much of a graphical difference between the 720 and PS4 it will be more up to the devs artstyle skills.

Actually many would disagree.

Personaly, graphics wise, Gears 3 = Uncharted 3 >>> Killzone 3.

I wouldn't go by a poll in a forum way too many biases included you either need some 3rd party who doesn't care and would tell the truth either way or you need to compare the graphics yourself.

Both shots look really good but you can clearly see that uncharted has better lighting and more detailed textures IMO. Like the ground textures and the bundle of wood/crates don't look that great in the Gears shot. But from looking at these I'd have to say Gears is more competition that probably even halo 4.

Did you miss Gears of War 3 on purpose?

PAL360

Gears 3 looked really good (environment looks better and more hi-rez than halo 4 so far) but I don't think anyone would claim it looked anywhere near killzone 3 and Uncharted 2-3 from a techinical standpoint.
