Before starting to bash all out like a rabid monkey that's tripping on acid, atleast take this into concideration: the Xbox 360 have been out for almost a year, the PS3 for just a couple of weeks - developers have a lot more experience with the 360-platform, and the Cell is a pretty tough nut to crack.
These games are cross-platform, so none of the titles will push any of the consoles to it's graphical peak.
What I find a bit disappointing with the PS3's graphics is the texture resolution, seeing how the PS3 can use a lot more space for storing textures, they shoudn't be as low-res and grainy as we see in these pictures.

eh, give em time to work out the ps3's limits i suppose...

yeah, the PS3 at this point is too limited. This graphical battle should have taken place in about 6 or so more months when both systems have developers with pretty decent coding knowledge.
But still, I must say, for the PS3 to launch and have graphics close to equal with the 360 after it's been out a year, i'm somewhat impressed. I'm (probably) not gonna buy a PS3 personally, but I can't wait to see how impressive some 3rd or 4th gen titles look for the system.

PS3 tools for game development is really slick, Give it time and they should get everything worked out, Part of the reason xbox 360 might look more better is because of it's motion blur effect.

I dunno, I think some of the PS3 shots looked better. >.> Maybe I'm just crazy. :P

Yeah i have to agree with emily. Some of the shots look more realistic with the griddyness. What i see is simple more shader effect on the ps3 over the xbox360. But hey what do i know, i'm playing it on PC :-)

I think the 360 shots looked better except for Tiger Woods. The PS3 graphics look more washed out. Tony Hawk was a perfect example.

Don't be misled by the ideal of blu ray here. While the PS3 can have more textures with larger capacity discs, it cannot have more textures in a single scene due to its restricted memory architecture. Interestingly enough, the 360 actually can display at a single time more high resolution textures than the PS3 can. Having said that, a lot of the dev optimizations and building maps properly can hopefully make this an essentially moot point. Now one of the things you might be able to argue is the potential for greater texture variety due to not having space constraints on the disc to the same level the 360 has. But then again I don't have an issue with putting in a second disc for a long campaign, but that might just be me *shrug*.

I think that 360 doesn't neccessarily look better and neither does ps3 look better then 360. I find that their two different perceptions. You can see the difference in lighting and textures, But it doesn't mean one is better then the other IMO.

Wrong in some ways since the PS3 has been or was delayed for a year the developers had plenty of time to either port or improve on and work for the PS3 I mean come on they had a year!
They PS3 has just been a hype box its a waste of time especially since the graphics chip is a generation old, what would you rather have a PS3 with a 7800GTX gpu or a 360 with an advanced custom ATi X1950XT equivalent but a bit better on DX instructions with full HDR+AA and multi texturing support?
The 360 is DX10 compliant which is a big thing meaning games can run and look even better, the PS3 is obsolete the only thing its got is the CELL thats it.

To me it's obvious that the 360 has the better graphics on most of the games. In some games the graphics just look different... not better or worse. So what do you think? Looking at the above article.:cool:
Sorry... didn't see somebody posted this already :(
