Bokeh is the type of filter used when doing DOF. It makes DOF alot better looking. I agree. However, you said this:

"BOKEH effect in real time(not dof,bokeh"

Depth of field is the blur of an image due to those elements being our of focus. Bokeh is just the filter effect that happens on the out of focus area. I even linked it on wikipedia.

It's like saying a game uses "normal mapping, not textures&q...

I am so glad you brought that up.

Car manufacturers (Contrast: Sony) cannot tell you that you cannot add a modified exhaust, bigger wheels, adding a spoiler, etc.

The turret you bring up is like the piracy in games. THAT SPECIFIC usage is wrong and illegal. Go after them, don't stop people from putting their custom exhaust (custom internet browser, custom media player, etc) or whatever.

EDIT:

Reported as offensive.

You need to understand the difference between piracy and hacking/unlocking a system to run what you want (like a PC or similar to the PS3 before otherOS was removed).

Then you need to learn the rights we have to own property. We own the console, not the pirated games. We can do what we want with the console, go after the pirates.

Also, you are reported for saying people should get shot when your own ignorance and possib...

Exactly, the people on this site are kids. What do looks of a person have to do with what they may or may not deserve.

Easy, most the kids on this site don't even know what precedents could be set if you can't do what you wish with property you bought.

It brings to question the right of ownership of a product and most the kids on this site want to throw it away over a childish fanboy loyalty to a company. All idiots a...

New Rule

Learn the difference between "hacking" and pirates.

Shut down pirates and pirating sites. Let people do what they want with a product they/we bought. I don't even want to unlock my PS3. But I will stand up for the right of the citizen to do as he/she wishes with his/her property he/she purchased.

Pirating is wrong because you are stealing someones work without paying.

Human/citizen rights above a damn g...

I rather have the possibility of cheaters (though hacking is one hell of a broad term and you are using it in the sense of hacking and then manipulating game code to win matches) and not lose my right to do what I want with my hardware. If I wanted custom software, let me do it.

Hacking in general is not bad. Do you even know what it means? You can hack a game and make it so guns sound like water guns, you can hack a game and add an aimbot. The first one is fun and interestin...

Fishy Fingers:

"Only 24% (1.5 million units) of all copies of GT5 were sold to the North American gaming market."

"Forza 3 sales, where in contrast to GT5, the North American market makes up 57% of its sales or 2.7 million units."

Forza 3 sold 2.7 million while GT5 sold only 1.5 million in NA.

Bokeh is how the blurred area of an image, due to depth of field, looks.

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

Almost every game does just a regular blur while real lens create patterns.

Just so you know, the rest you are pretty spot on about. I would still say the effects such as motion blur and HDR and so on, like any other console game, is done in lower precision and less memory-requir...

@dragonelite

MSAA is only an issue with deferred rendering in DX9 (PS3/Xbox360). DX10/11 have no issue and MLAA and Nvidia's possible SRAA are some what pointless, though I still think the more AA options the better.

Lag is bad engine performance. Frames per second is not the only important thing. If your game engine has frame lag (it takes a long time per second to produce each frame) then your controls feel laggy because you have to wait for the engine/PS3 to finish rendering each frame, thats what this lag is. It's not a design choice, it was a performance issue. That's why even pulling a trigger was lagging when a trigger weighs nothing.

Animation and camera work is what gives...

In the article they said the firing range is what made it seem like COD.

Controls that dont have laggy response times (Halo, Crysis 2, Resistance, MGS4, etc) is just good programming and performance. COD is not special when it comes to fast response times.

You are taking two parts of the article and mixing them out of context.

And you are still getting disagrees. The game looks amazing but if you point out that nearly all cutscenes are pre-rendered video or you talk about anything that is negative but true, boom, disagrees.

@TheFact003

Logged in just to take your bubbles away and report you. No need for teenagers starting a damn name calling fight. You make yourself look like a fool and a kid with no brains. At least come up with something clever if you are going to insult.

Pathetic.

Same goes for those who agreed with you. Fanboys and children. Ridiculous that people would agree with the garbage and useless comment.

Patch 1.5 is what changed the entire shadow system and caused a large performance boost. Luckily I bought it just a while ago since it was on Steam for 10 bucks including the LC episodes. Runs like a dream and with this mod, it has the technical prowess of Crysis 2 (almost, but REALLY close)

Are you watching the same video?

This mod is amazing. This guy IMPLEMENTED:

HDR
SSAO
Indirect lighting/Global Illuminations (Crysis 2 and BF3 have showed this off)
Soft particles
Cloud systems
A slew of changes to the lighting and reflection settings.

Here is a video of the beta for the mod that works with the latest GTA4 1.7 update.

@NukaCola

Screen-tearing is resolved 100% if you simply turn on Vsync. Frame rate issues are relative to your machine. I have a 5870 and run it at 1080P with everything at max EXCEPT shadows on high, not very high, and the detail and draw distance at 50 and vehicle density at 100. I get 60FPS most the time, when shit blows up and lots of cars around, dips down to 30-40 FPS.

Fanboys period are retarded. This particular topic just happens to really bug PS3 fanboys because the game looks amazing up against PS3 exclusive games that have good graphics. Also the fact that the 360 version is competition as well. Anyone who denies it is a fanboy. It is amazing what Crytek has pulled off.

Are there any comparison's out? Care to point some out that you have seen?

This will give you a close idea of IMAGE QUALITY. It will look like this on PS3 EXCEPT for framerate (which is performance, not image quality) and pop-in/texture streaming (also performance, not image quality).

PS3/X360 settings at 720P will run at greater than 60FPS on a decent PC rig. But that performance won't be there on the consoles, obviously.
