Apologies if this has been posted before. Things didn't seem to change much since their last 2, but they're using a bunch of different games to test. Have a look at the picture comparison for yourselves (hover the cursor over the console name to get the image for that console).

After going through another eight games, we've found a few trends that follow both of these consoles around. Outside of Rainbow Six Vegas 2, our findings didn't show any drastic differences in image quality between the two consoles--nothing compared to what we found when we compared first-generation games in our original comparison feature. The PlayStation 3 generally lags behind the Xbox 360 in high-quality textures and the depth/normal maps that go with them. However, in the same games, the PlayStation 3 sometimes comes ahead with better shadowing and antialiasing. Games on the PS3 do tend to be blurrier than their Xbox 360 counterparts, but the PlayStation 3 games can look just as good as the Xbox 360 games when developers put some effort into it, as is evident with both Grand Theft Auto IV and Burnout Paradise. Overall, the PlayStation 3 outputs visuals that are either on par with the Xbox 360 or only slightly behind.

I'd just like to point out that for all the PS3 fanboy comments about the 360 only having the Unreal 3 engine (yes, you Valante :D), isn't it odd that the PS3 sucks at producing decent textures using the Half Life 2 engine? ;)

And no Gamespot are not saying that a game can look better if developers put more effort into it, they're saying that at best it can match the 360. So stop blaming the developers :p

it'll be the same with every site that says something in favour of the Xbox ..... "Oh, Xbox fanboy site, Xbox fanbou site"

....... that's a whole other level of fanboi-ism that is :rolleyes:

Please quote your source, you've been pushing those retarded images for a while now that it could easily be some fanboy photshopped special.

Also, Gamespot gave MGS4 a 10, would you disagree with that? Or is that the rating of an Xbox fanboy site? :rolleyes:
 
Bull Bull Bull ..... with a side order of Bull and an afters of **** ;)
 
Wow you conveniently skipped past my post, wonder why :rolleyes: Please quote your source for those pics.
 
Seeing as the 360 Xenon's (05-06) had an ANA scalar and the 360 Falcon's and up have a HANA scalar ... I guess screen shots are subjective.

But then again ... that's just me :D

And they got it from the original source: http://neocrisis.com/content/view/2848/46/

What a retarded site, I've never heard of it before. What did they do - compare a 95% completed KZ2 pic to a 20% completed GoW2 pic?

Haha look at their games section: http://neocrisis.com/content/section/12/37/

They have like 100 games in total, most of them outdated PS2 titles. So again, how are they qualified to make a comparison?
 
Rofl, good detective work there SmoothCriminal ......... sorry Valante ..... FAIL ;)

Nah I don't agree..while some of the Xbox screenshots do look sharper or as Gamespot puts it "Games on the PS3 do tend to be blurrier than their Xbox 360 counterparts" ..in some of the screenshots I actually prefer the PS3 way over the 360 since the sharpness only results in some really unwanted jaggies/aliasing which kinda turns me off.
