I personally don't really mind when things look shiny so much as I do when every single damn thing in the game world glows... I've noticed this about Guild Wars... World of Warcraft, too, though it had an option to turn it off, which I took advantage of...

Also, having seen various screenshots and displays at Best Buy and such, it is my belief that anybody who says 360 games barely look better than current-gen games is lying to themself...

I mean, it may not be quite as big a leap over the extremely muddy textures and pixilated graphics of N64/PS1 as GC/PS2 were, but 'barely' an improvement? *scratces noodle*

Its your opinion. You think one way, I think another.

Is it also your opinion that there are many things in real life that are shiny?

Perhaps you do not like this about the world, and wish it could be eliminated in your gaming experiences?

My real opinion is that, until you see it running on your own set, you shouldn't be able to pass judgement.

Or, on a really high-definition set. I played DOA4 on my 30"-ish TV with AV output, and it looked somewhat the same as DOA3, but better. This is probably the difference you're basing off of, Canyarion. But when I hooked it up to my 50" and ran it in 480P, the difference was astonishing.

Same with Fight Night Round 3. I played on my set, then I played at my girlfriend's 1080i setup, 60". The difference is fantastic.

I know I want to spend several hundred to a thousand dollars on a new TV (and maybe new cables?) in addition to the money for my XBox360 and a game just so I can fully appreciate the graphical difference.

I almost drooled the first time I saw Fight Night 3.

*happy sigh*

I remember when I was at Phil's and he just started playing Fight Night 3, and I asked when the fight was starting, and he said "10 seconds ago..." I just sat back in awe.

I played demos of Need for Speed (I don't keep up with all the names lately) and Quake 4.
And the guy had a very nice TV. It just didn't feel new enough to be next gen. The leaps are getting smaller and smaller with every gen.

Well, DOA4 looked relatively the same (because the models look like plastic), but everything else has looked fantastic. I even download my demos upstairs and play them for the first time on my room's 13" TV.

yep...because that's only what you're going to get out of a nice new HDTV. not a sports or movies fan, are ya?

and if you care so much about looks, Cany, why are you looking forward to the Wiiiiii more than any other next gen system?

Canyarion · 05-30-2006, 05:12 PM

I care about looks on Xbox360 and PS3 because IMO it's the best thing they offer. They NEED their looks, Wii doesn't.

Null · 05-30-2006, 05:51 PM

annddd i think we figured out why he 'doesnt notice a difference'

Why doesnt the Wii need looks?

Because it's 200 dollars for a graphics card, and controller port, more or less?

I never said that's all an HDTV could do; I wasn't commenting on HDTVs at all. I was commenting on the XBox360, and the apparent fact that you need an HDTV to be able to notice the graphic difference between the 360 and a regular XBox.

Some people have to save up to upgrade their video console and they expect to be able to tell the difference. They shouldn't have to spend another several hundred to a thousand dollars, or more, just to appreciate the graphical upgrade. That they would also gain eye candy when watching movies or sports in completely irrelevant.

And I'm a very big movie fan. I work at a movie theatre just so I can get free movies.

still looks a lot better even without an HDTV.

but the people with HDTV's shouldnt have to stand to look at a crappy low resolution game, when they paid to get the crystal clearity of HD.
