Games always look better on my TV than on my monitor but the offscreen videos are more like having bloom turned to maximum with uber vibrant colors.I think if you adjust the contrast on your TV it would look just as good as the offscreen stuff. Also the game may have a contrast menu option like the first Gears game.
Just for the record I picked the brighter and more grandeur scenes, I could easily pick those that are much worse in comparison if you need proofing.Those pics look terrible, I think they are biased pics so to speak. Yeah that sounds stupid but you know what I mean.
Not necessarily true, I've seen a lot of stunning still shots from a few of those games, and of course they look even better in motion. It's just people shouldn't trust offscreen videos at all, they can make anything crappy look awesome given the right condition.It is interesting that even todays best looking games tend to look bad in direct feed stills (even when they look great playing in person or on video). I wonder which generation that will change....but anyways that's OT
