I played 360

Come to think of it, real life is too damn shiny! You know, god must be against us, or something.

Damn God for creating sweat!

I personally don't really mind when things look shiny so much as I do when every single damn thing in the game world glows... I've noticed this about Guild Wars... World of Warcraft, too, though it had an option to turn it off, which I took advantage of...

Also, having seen various screenshots and displays at Best Buy and such, it is my belief that anybody who says 360 games barely look better than current-gen games is lying to themself...

I mean, it may not be quite as big a leap over the extremely muddy textures and pixilated graphics of N64/PS1 as GC/PS2 were, but 'barely' an improvement? *scratces noodle*

Its your opinion. You think one way, I think another.

Is it also your opinion that there are many things in real life that are shiny?

Perhaps you do not like this about the world, and wish it could be eliminated in your gaming experiences?

Dyne · 05-29-2006, 07:03 PM

My real opinion is that, until you see it running on your own set, you shouldn't be able to pass judgement.

Or, on a really high-definition set. I played DOA4 on my 30"-ish TV with AV output, and it looked somewhat the same as DOA3, but better. This is probably the difference you're basing off of, Canyarion. But when I hooked it up to my 50" and ran it in 480P, the difference was astonishing.

Same with Fight Night Round 3. I played on my set, then I played at my girlfriend's 1080i setup, 60". The difference is fantastic.

I know I want to spend several hundred to a thousand dollars on a new TV (and maybe new cables?) in addition to the money for my XBox360 and a game just so I can fully appreciate the graphical difference.

I almost drooled the first time I saw Fight Night 3.

*happy sigh*

I remember when I was at Phil's and he just started playing Fight Night 3, and I asked when the fight was starting, and he said "10 seconds ago..." I just sat back in awe.

Well, DOA4 looked relatively the same (because the models look like plastic), but everything else has looked fantastic. I even download my demos upstairs and play them for the first time on my room's 13" TV.

yep...because that's only what you're going to get out of a nice new HDTV. not a sports or movies fan, are ya?

and if you care so much about looks, Cany, why are you looking forward to the Wiiiiii more than any other next gen system?

Canyarion · 05-30-2006, 05:12 PM

I care about looks on Xbox360 and PS3 because IMO it's the best thing they offer. They NEED their looks, Wii doesn't.

I never said that's all an HDTV could do; I wasn't commenting on HDTVs at all. I was commenting on the XBox360, and the apparent fact that you need an HDTV to be able to notice the graphic difference between the 360 and a regular XBox.

Some people have to save up to upgrade their video console and they expect to be able to tell the difference. They shouldn't have to spend another several hundred to a thousand dollars, or more, just to appreciate the graphical upgrade. That they would also gain eye candy when watching movies or sports in completely irrelevant.

And I'm a very big movie fan. I work at a movie theatre just so I can get free movies.

This is my first post. You'll notice the word "fully" (bolded to increase your chance of seeing it easily) next to "appreciate." By using this adverb I was indicating my understanding that a person could notice a graphical difference on a regular TV, but would not get the full effect unless they were playing the game on a high definition television set. I believe this concurs with Dyne's explanation of his own, original post.

I wrote the post as a sarcastic comment that people who were buying an XBox360 would not really get their money's worth unless they also bought or already owned an HDTV.

You, Stu, either misread my post or took it too literally and stated that HDTVs could do more than just video games.

My second post was a reply to your post clarifying and restating the intent and meaning behind my first post. I, regretfully, neglected to include the previous mentioned adverb of "fully," or some form of synonym.

This led to your second misunderstanding in which you believed I either misread Dyne's original post or exaggerated to prove a point (which I did neither).

This, my third post, has been written to hopefully clear up any confusion over one simple sarcastic comment. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

If a cow moo's in the woods and no ones around to hear it... Can it still give milk?

my last post was replying to your second message...the part that I quoted specifically. i didnt go back and read your original message, so that's partly my fault.

and you're right........a cow would need to learn how to milk itself.
