PC has games that use a similar rendering tech for lighting/shading. Nothing on the 360, let alone Xbox has anything running a Killzone 2 type lighting engine.
The stupid 10 megs of EDRAM on the 360 make it impossible to for any actual game with 720p resolution.
Guess how large the renderbuffers are for Killzone 2?
This is the first generation where a single console has utterly dominated the competition. Every previous generation, the competing consoles at least had games that were not possible or matched on the other system(s).
The PS3 is the first system ever to absolutely destroy the competition in every single area:
* Resolution * Fillrate * Poly counts * Lighting * Animation and on and on
We've been through this before with the first Mass Effect. Bogus Unreal Engine marketing shots, or footage captured running on a high end development PC and then the actual game arrives and the in game graphics are barely better than last gen.
"What do you mean "didn't want to make the whole list full of PS3 games" ?"
Exactly. It is amazing to realize that the Xbox 360's has been on the market for almost four years now. Normally consoles would be coming out with their graphics tour de forces that showed the true power and capabilities of the system.
All the BS about 'easy to program' and idiotic claims about 'having a better graphics card', the 360 has absolutely nothing to show for all...
"The argument that because a game is on the 360 as well as the PC"
LOL!
Yes, the fact that anyone with a PC can play better versions of almost everything on the Xbox 360 on their existing PCs or at worst with a 100 dollar graphics card upgrade than going out and spending 300 dollars + 50 dollar a year online fees for the most noisy and unreliable console ever made is a 'bad argument'.
Absolutely amazing that Polyphony has created a handheld game that has better car rendering and lighting than the Xbox 360's first party developer has managed with Forza 3.
Yes, it is running at a lower resolution. But that isn't a disqualification because otherwise no one would be seriously trying to claim 720p Forza 3 is in the same league as 1080p Gran Turismo 5 for the PS3 running at double the resolution.
Microsoft is in the same position they were last gen with the Xbox and exclusive games. They only have three first party studios. Almost everything else are PC ports trying to be passed off as exclusives.
Now with the outdated Xbox 360 hardware anyone with even an average computer with a 100 dollar graphics card can play better versions of games Microsoft continues to try to call 'exclusives'. Higher resolution, better framerate, better graphics compared to the Xbox 360 versions....
It be same ridiculous use of the PC version running on a 3000 dollar PC for footage and screenshots. Just like Gears of War, Mass Effect, Alan Wake, etc all try to pull with either lies of 'this footage comes from the 360. Honestly! Not lying' or absurd claims 'the 360 version will look just as good. No really!'
This really is a mind bogglingly stupid attempt at damange control by Microsoft.
Was Microsoft lying before?
Or are they lying now?
"moment"
???
Uh, whatever...

Fail. Way to make a fool out of yourself.

Hint > 10 megs...

"Fair trade"
Rockstar North's brand new franchise exclusive to the PS3
vs.
DLC for what is considered the worst of all the GTAs
Someone got shafted...
Bzzzttt!
Nope.
They do.
"I have a pretty current rig"
Don't PC gamers have any clue as to what a retard they sound like when they call their computer a 'rig'?
Wow, that was some serious ownage.
"Mass Effect 2 looks so much better"
Oh please...
We've been through this before with the first Mass Effect. Bogus Unreal Engine marketing shots, or footage captured running on a high end development PC and then the actual game arrives and the in game graphics are barely better than last gen.

Yeah right.
Left 4 Dead 2 - has a PC version with better graphics - don't need to waste money on a 360 to play it
Splinter Cell - has a PC version with better graphics - don't need to waste money on a 360 to play it
Mass Effect 2 - has a PC version with better graphics - don't need to waste money on a 360 to play it
Alan Wake - will have a PC version with better graphics - don't need to waste money on a 360 to play it
So, yeah Halo and Forza. Again. ...
Sony has dumped Microsoft into last place in Europe. So not really that surprising.

@dcbronco
LOL! Dude give the BS a rest. No one is dumb enough to fall for your crap.
"You guys should get your eyes checked."
Eyes are probably fine. It's the Fanboy Goggles...
If anyone wants a laugh...
google through the sh_tstorm that erupted after Forza 2 was released and people saw how horrible the actual in game graphics were:
site:forums.forzamotorsport.n et
Same guy who put out all the fake Forza 2 screenshots is the same guy putting these out, Che. He's the little punk who sits around trolling...
It is a silly comparison.
