I wonder if you realise that nextgen consoles will use a lot of Photoshop-type post processing effects for various things like bluring, sharpening, color correction, blooms - and DOF and motion blur as well. These would obviously create artifacting effects that one could claim to be from faking screenshots, especially because the realtime implementation would probably have lower quality than a CPU-based 'offline' effect. Also, shader aliasing in things like reflections would also result in new, previously unknown artifacts...

This is Burnout not PGR3, PGR has 8 cars on the screen at once, Burnout has 25-75 plus the highly detailed player cars. They must include Semi-trucks, tanker trucks, mini-vans, cabs, logging trucks,(people?) ect..... They would love to have 100,000+ poly cars, but it's not a driving sim on a closed track, they need a large amount of traffic for their spectacular crashes, with the Fire, smoke, explosions, particles, they must use their polygon budget wisely. A 8 car accident just doesn't cut it, they need at least a 50 car freeway pile up and thats takes a ton of polys to replicate.
And Burnout is FAST. 60fps done right!!

Confirmed on IGN interview today:
IGN: Will it run at 60 frames per second, and how long will the load times be?
Matt Webster: It's Burnout and that means it's at 60Hz. For load times, they'll be as short as we can possible make them.
IGN: How will the already excellent visuals and sense of speed be improved on the Xbox 360? How are you taking advantage of the X360's three processors and graphics chip?
Matt Webster: We have a host of cool new effects going in to the game. The shader technology that we have to give us scratches and crumples are added to new physical deformation technology. The cars look even better than ever, and when they crash it looks and sounds amazing. For sense of speed, we've also spent considerable engineering effort to get a brand new motion blur effect. With the horsepower that the 360 gives us we can now do a real per-pixel vector motion blur, it makes even the entry-level cars feel faster than ever.

60fps with motion blur, this ought to feel like Clark Griswald's rocket sled in Lampoon's "Christmas Vacation".

Now this is some great news. I would like to see a video of the game in motion.
Of course with such a blurry image you're not going to see jaggies. I can hardly see jaggies in some Xbox games on my 36" TV through composite.Hardknock said:
Play the games on an _LCD display_, and yes - jaggies are far more prominent, as PC owners who've switched from CRT's to LCD's can testify. The muddiness of your display is hiding the jaggies, that's all.

Not to nitpick, but that's not necessarily true.
It's the fact that he took the pictures of the TV itself at 1024x768. That's never gonna show as much detail as you should see, first because it's a picture of a TV so it's bound to look more blurry than the image on the TV itself (which might be blurry or not, that's not the point) and secondly, at that resolution, not much is going to come up in terms of jaggies seen how the game is running at a higher resolution than that anyway.
