Digital foundry said it was at least as good as 4xmsaa, you ignorant idiot http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...
In fact it waas said to surpass it and in instances to be comparable to 16 or more sample AA. This was the MLAA used in the saoteur, that found in GOW3 is significantly better, how do your words taste? :P
ALso, most ps3 games use QAA, GT5 uses 4xmsaa in 720p with 500,000 polygon car models, 16 on track at any one time, Crysis chaaracter models, when run in very high, use up to 80,000 polygons, those are the main characters.
@ hoops every ps3 game uses anisoptric filtering and anti aliasing, in fact MLAA is a superior AA technique even to 32xMSAA in some cases, as has been proven, so what are you trying to prove? The best currently available games are exclusives. Exclusives that cannot be found on the pc. We both know that, due to ps3 games like uncharted 2, kz2, heavy rain, gt5 etc. looking better than any game across any platform bar crysis and warhead on pc, that the ps3 really is holding up very well despite its lesser power than many PCs, developers actually utilise its power and as nothing bar crysis looks better than UC2, KZ2, GOW3, GT5, Heavy Rain, it is obvious developers dont push pc hardware as far. Probably because it's not a sensible thing to do in a business sense

@ below, GT5 looks more photoreal than stock crysis on a 1080p display, my friend. You need to understand something, firstly English. Secondly more polygons allow for more complex animations, a smoother, more detailed model etcetera. You need a highly talented programmer to optimise for consoles, thats why despite their lesser power most ps3 exclusives look bettter than anything bar crysis. Crysis has 80k main character models, gt5 has 500k car models, 16 at once...
GOW3 is v-synced.
Uncharted 2 is v-synced.
@ meetahju, again, read nycredudes comment and read the analysis where it is PROVEN that gow3 runs with V-SYNC enabled. Just because you only have a 2007 game to use as your personal graphical trophy doesnt mean you have to ignore facts, Nothing but crysis looks better than gt5, uc2, gow3, gt5, heavy rain, kz2. All the games Ive just mentioned have gained more critical success than any exclusive pc game released in the last 3 years.

It will look good only on 720p display not on 1080. You can see the jaggieness. You need to understand something. More no. of polygons is given only for better animations like in Uncharted 2 or God of War 3. GT5 doesn't reqiure a high polygon model its requires highly talented texture artist to create low memory textures look like high quality. Crysis has high poly models but stupid animations and rag doll hit response system.

@up
You need to understand and know something my friend i'm not here to flame but to correct your mistakes. Ps3 or 360 is not powerful but Sony devs are...

@nycredude

What???????? Can you please tell me how you forced you montior to run a game with V-SYNC? If you do i would actually give you and award for it. God of War 3 doesn't use V-Sync! You got no idea why a game screen tears.

@sahar243

So your saying GOd of War 3 runs at 1080p?

Meetajhu

I suggest you check out the GOW 3 dev interview at Eurogamer cause you have no clue what you are talking about. GOW 3 IS V-sync. And btw I run all games on my asus laptop v-synced cause I hate screen tears and I don't bog down the graphics card with AA because when you play at 1080p or higher res you don't need AA.

Edit: It's also common knowledge that developers are able to render games in 1080p but choose not to because they feel that it isn't worth the graphical trade in. Fact is that the resolution is not as important as some of the other details when rendering a good looking game. Post processing, motion blur, dof, debris, frame rate and art design are all integral parts of rendering a good looking game and it's not worth it to sacrifice those in favor of a higher resolution.

The proof is in the pudding. Alot of good looking games on both consoles are not in full hd.

Edit: I would make a video of me playing Crysis on 1080p with all settings on high and running heaven 2.0 with v-sync enabled but I don't want to waste my time. Just check this link to the Digital Foundry analysis of GOW 3. V-sync is enabled.

http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

This is what your last comment makes me think of.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

on 1080P you will barley see any jaggies even without AA
the higher the resolution the less AA is needed

Im glad someone knows what theyre talking about :) thing is, Ive noticed a lot of ignorant PC fanboys on this site recently, just like meetahju and apparently hoops, that know nothing of what they talk about. Because they have the disillusion that nothing on consoles can look better than even multiplats on their beloved pc they choose to miss out on the very best games of this gen and settle only for mutiplat games, I feel sorry for them :( I, for one, play multiplats maxed out on my Asus G73JH or my desktop and play the very best exclusive games on my ps3 :D all IMHO

Resolution does not equal graphical quality, it sure helps, but higher polygon models, better post processing effects, higher AA level (perhaps the daddy, MLAA) higher texture resolutions etcetera can all bee gained by dropping the res to 720p which is much more beneficial than running less in 1080p. At an appropriate viewing distance the human eye can notice only detail up to 1080p. Anything higher is useless unless you are using supersampling AA (in which case youll still be seeing 1080p or whatever anyway)

@ below, indeed. Thats why I stated that GOW3's use of MLAA was far superior, although I didn't know that the AA used in the ps3 saboteur wasn't MLAA, all I knew was that GOW3s use was superior, thanks for telling me :)

@ nycredude
Lol. Would a laptop-five be inappropriate? :P Its pretty beastly isnt it, not too keen on the ass on it though ;) Runs anything I throw at it. Apart from the tunexp program that, as I shouldve guessed from the name, runs only on xp. It made my bootup time only 3 seconds... and disabled every service on my laptop. I couldnt even use system restore :( had to reinstall win7... I know exactly what you mean though, I think its just that they spend so much money on it, believing its superior, that they delude themselves into believing so, to prove their purchase. I mean I love my laptop and all, but I dont use it for games as much as I use it for work. Agreed though, the margin between UC2, KZ2, GOW3 etc. and Crysis is tiny, I would go as far to say that recent GT5 screenshots and videos look a certain amount better than crysis, although that statement will lend me disagrees.
PC, if you have the money, is far more powerful than any console without a doubt. However this power is wasted in games (not applications however, many applications are well optimised)

The MLAA in God of War III is ACTUAL Morphalogical Anti Aliasing compared to the simple edge detection used in The Saboteur. Digital Foundry were corrected on the situation.

@ shazui

Hahahaha I just bought the same laptop you have. i have the Asus G73jha-1 and it freaking rocks man! I completely agree with you the only real advantage PC games have over consoles is the resolution because of unlimited memory and hardware upgrades. I am not saying pc isn't more powerful but developers don't push the limits with better codes on the pc cause there is no need. They just wait for a new videocard to release.

I actually am one who believes that although Crysis looks great on my laptop, when I output to my hdtv it doesn't look light years ahead of the best console games, i.e. Killzone 2 or Uncharted 3 or GOW 3 like alot of Crysis defenders make you believe.

@Shazui

Yeah I was a pc gamer back in the days but haven't had a gaming rig for at least 8 years. When I read about this beast of a laptop I couldn't resist. I kept reading everywhere how Crysis this and Crysis that so I was hyped as hell to play a crazy looking game but it's over hyped. Maybe I am spoiled by my Ps3 but it didn't blow me away.

Imagine if Sony 1st parties made optimized games on PC? It would look photorealistic!

BTW The ass on the laptop helps cool the machine so although it's not that good looking I appreciate it not frying the gpu!

some of those best looking game are very linear or have fixed camera

@shazui123

Funny how you mention you've seen "a lot of ignorant PC fanboys on this site recently" when you're one of the most ignorant and clueless morons on this entire site.

You repeatedly turn up, spout utter nonsense and when someone hands you simple facts you put your fingers in your ears and hum. But of course you feel justified because your fellow morons will back up your ridiculous claims with their own mindless drivel.

You'd probably find more intelligent and logical conversation in a children's playground.

Edit: btw, you cannot have a game v-sync at 40fps, it doesn't work like that. You can have the game run freely where it averages 40fps, or even cap artificially, but if the frame rate fluctuates, you will have screen tearing. V-sync is a means of limiting the frame rate to coincide with a screens refresh rate. For example, most screens have a refresh rate of 60hz, so a game will be v-synced to 60fps, with the frame rate being cut to half that if the fps drops by even one frame. Don't believe me, do some research of your own.

Guys Remember what Game Squeeze All The Potential of The PS2, GOW2, a Game that came out like 7 Years After The Release of The PS2 (2000), So this Time I'm sure is Going to be The same Thing With The PS3...

@metha, hoops

I highly recommend you to get your facts straight.

MLAA in GOW3 is AT LEAST 4xMSAA but in most cases is even better:

"A few months before shipping, we finally reached a quality similar to MSAA2x on almost the entire screen, and a few weeks later, all the pixelated edges disappeared and the quality became significantly higher than MSAA2x or even MSAA4x on all our still shots, without any exception. In motion it became globally better too, few minor issues remained which just can’t be solved without sub-pixel sampling."

http://www.realtimerenderin...

Regarding the v-sync:

"The framerate for God of War III runs between 30 and 60 frames-per-second with v-sync enabled to stop tearing"

"We’ve also got some good code in place–that you can’t tell is working–which helps to make sure frame rate drops are gracefully executed. By graceful I mean that you won’t see any tearing."

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz...

Lets forget about the technical details and just say GoW3 has NO tearing.

@yewels

You are TOTALLY right my friend. The Saboteour doesnt use MLAA

You got to love the 360 fanboys who have finally realized that the PS3 is better and more powerful than the 360 and are still bitter, so they now become PC fanboys so they can still troll PS3 news and get owned when they get caught not knowing what they're talking about!

That is why there is this new influx of PC trolls in console news!

and ive only been blown away by the graphics of uc2, alan wake, heavy rain, gears 1 n 2, and mass effect 1 n 2 killzone 2 and god of war 3 didnt impress me tho wot ive seen of number 3 do impress me and gt5 oh my god thats looking gud sos gears 3

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

Hulst is a disaster......
