I disagree.Honestly some ps3 games look great(Resistance,F1,Heavenly sword,white nights) but these are not "standard" ps3 titles,these are flagship 1st party games that most won't be out until 2007.If i compare these with high profile 1st party xbox 360 games(GoW,Mass Effect,Alan Wake hell even Viva Pinata!!!) i don't see how the average graphics' quality is better for the ps3.Yes the 360 is on its second year but it had a "rushed" launch(with lots of port-em-ups) while the ps3 has been delayed several times(1st it was spring 2006,then end of June 2006,now it's November 2006).Even if we look at top 3rd parties,i mean DMC4 does not look better than Lost Planet (quite the opposite i would say) and i can't wait to see how the exclusive Splinter Cell 5 will compare to MGS4,graphically.
Anyway,to return to the topic,it seems that the game is improving in the graphics department,as evident by the new level 1 video, and the animation is just fine when taking ino account that you are controlling a guy in a huge,tank-like, armour.I mean how the hell was he supposed to move,etherial??
Thanks man. Well spotted.
EDIT: That's the best footage, available as of yet.
Somehow they missed to link the middle part, so here's the direct links:

I'd say this game has really incredible graphics. I personally don't dig the style, but besides that it's really something and I'm looking forward to playing it at work.
That being said, I did see and play a great deal of PS3 games at TGS. As I've said in previous posts both me and many of my colleagues, some of who have a great distaste for Sony couldn't help but be impressed by what they had to show.
Now I'm going to say this as MY OPINION, so don't anyone fly off their rocker, but most of the games that were shown for the PS3 did indeed look a step above anything I have yet to see on the X360. I can easily see GOW outshining most if not all of the PS3 titles shown at TGS, but if someone wants to say "those PS3 games looked like shit", then I'm gonna have to call them on denial. Of course if they said so in their humble opinion, then I'd say sure

Oh,the topic here is "GoW-Best graphics ever".WTF do these general comments have to do with the topic?I guess because GoW does look better than everything coming out in 2006 we have to drag some mysterious ps3 games with unknown release dates that look better than what is out now on the 360.Oh and what were all those amasing looking PLAYABLE ps3 games at TGS?VF5 and RR7??
Well,the sad truth is that when these "amasing" ps3 games come out they ,probably,won't look better than the games that will be coming out for the 360 like Mass Effect,Alan Wake,Halo3,Splinter Cell 5 e.t.c....
But please continue the discussion about how the "to be released in 2007" ps3 games look better than Kameo,PDZ or GRAW,it's so relevant to the topic..
Be respectful of others' opinions...
Stop using one-liners and stupid smiles in your replies,that's disrespectful IMO.
^^^
That's a one liner...
This isn't, though it incorporates a stupid smilie. It's a shame the mods allow disrespectful smilies.

Seeing the shots and reading some interviews I was suspecting it, but now that I've seen some video sequences I think its safe to say that for me that Gears of War is, of the games of 2006, shaping up to be one of the wankiest.
Finally some bigger vids. Graphics look really great. nice texturing, and overall good level design. (only thing is that the placement of the obstacles in this game looks unnatural. The AI seems better than I thought like that jumping over the obstacle.
There are still some obvious shortcomings I see like the dead environments, while in the cutscene it looks alive. other thing I notice even more in these vids is that they seem to use the same kind of texturing and normal mapping all over the place. All objects seem to originate from the same material, resulting in that it's even a little hard to notice the enemies sometimes.

Those GT trailers were good, but the guy playing didn't know what the heck he was doing. The camera guy would ask a question and he would never bother to answer it. He also called the enemy "the flood" at one point. Then he called them the "horde". Seriously. that's brutal. but honestly there's no complaints from this game. the people complaining about the animation are full of crap IMO. there's nothing wrong or bad about the animation in this game.

Though that's true, it's also in confined play areas with limited views, and only a few characters. So graphically it's great, but only in a subset of total graphics aspects. If I draw up a list of graphical points that any game will have...
Mesh complexity
Number of objects
Texture resolution
Multiple Textures (normal maps, diffuse, specular etc.)
Dynamic Lighting
View Range
Shader Complexity
Frame Rate
Animation quality (smoothness, nuimber of motions, etc.)
Particle Complexity
Post Effects
Generally speaking a game that excels in some areas will lose out in others. By creating a more enclosed game, you free up resources that would be spent on draw distance that you can focus into the close scenery. This means more RAM for textures and mesh quality, etc.
As such, objectively speaking, I don't see any game that stands above all others. If we take for comparison HS, the detail isn't as high as GOW, but then it's managing hundreds of characters whereas GOW only has to handle a dozen or so.
For one person looking for detail, GOW would be the better looking game, whereas for someone who is missed impressed by epic situations, HS would be preferred.
Definitely. I'd just like to know what it is the majority who agree are agreeing upon
Of course, you will always have tradeoffs. You will not be able to have both the amount of characters on screen like N3 and the detail in GOW, atleast this generation, so sure what is good looking in that sense is for sure very subjective. It is just that the combination of the things used in GOW just looks great and deos things somehow that until now I feel has not been done as well before. It might have confined places but it is not a corridor shooter either and as I said this feeling of almost no straight lines and flat surfaces I have been waiting for ever almost, and to me this is the first game that goes very far to have that feeling...
Not to turn in this into a game vs game thread, but with that I fully agree, if there one game that should take price for being generic that would go to resistance...
Are you sure? ..because there was no need to say that in this thread.
This has nothing to do with textures , is the desaturated look of the game , which their working since 2005 , who causes this effect.
Sadly i cant appreciate it from these off-screen videos where most of the black color is burnt.
