I played 360

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.

the 'leaps' arent really getting smaller, they're just being used in more areas.

the addition of real textures from PS1/N64 to PS2/GC seemed like a lot more becuause of how bad the ps1/n64 looked. the leap is still there, and can be seen if you know what to look for. but good graphics to great graphics doesnt seem like as big of a thing as bad graphics to good graphics.

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?

Not trying to defend Angrist here or anything but I think you missed his point as did the others.

I don't think he means to say that he doesn't wish Wii had better graphics. But for quite some time, we have all known that the Wii wouldn't offer state of the art next gen graphics. And I guess most have come to terms with that. What they will offer or try to offer is a new way to play games. We have to wait on that.

However, the biggest reason to switch from xbox to 360 or from ps2 to ps3 is its increase in graphics. Hence, if there is not a large margin of difference between the graphics, which I find untrue anyhow. Then there is no real need for the systems.
