And the guy had a very nice TV. It just didn't feel new enough to be next gen. The leaps are getting smaller and smaller with every gen.

the 'leaps' arent really getting smaller, they're just being used in more areas.

the addition of real textures from PS1/N64 to PS2/GC seemed like a lot more becuause of how bad the ps1/n64 looked. the leap is still there, and can be seen if you know what to look for. but good graphics to great graphics doesnt seem like as big of a thing as bad graphics to good graphics.

I don't care about the technology behind it or whatever, I care about looks.

well because you personally cant tell a difference doesnt mean the leap isnt there.

i didnt mean just the technology behind it has changed without producing any drastic results...
many people look for more realistic looking charcaters or worlds. and while it can be noticed on that, especially with a HDTV, the difference is just everywhere, Bigger worlds, more detailed worlds, phisics, many many more things on screen at once, with much better AI and better lighting effects. i can tell a differerence right away, especially in gameplay videos.
But many dont know what to look for and dont think about all the power thoes things take and add to the games look.

maybe its the same as people who say they cant hear a difference between normal quality and high quality Audio. i dunno, but i think its quite obvious to me at least the leap is there, and in many cases a bigger leap then before.

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.

annddd i think we figured out why he 'doesnt notice a difference'

Why doesnt the Wii need looks?

Because it's 200 dollars for a graphics card, and controller port, more or less?

Sadly, I laughed so hard at that.

Jee wiz forum, I wonder where 3rd party support will be for the Wii in 2 years when the system is getting its ass kicked in the graphics department. You better hope that Wii-pointer holds the 3rd party support, or you'll all be left with franchise titles.

Which probably won't bother the Nintendo fanboys.

The PS3 and 360 can put a whole hell of a lot of objects on screen at once...better textures, faster load times, more expansive environments. The list goes on!

It kept Nintendo selling but it wasn't all that innovative.

Funny people

Thanks for the laughs

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.

still looks a lot better even without an HDTV.

but the people with HDTV's shouldnt have to stand to look at a crappy low resolution game, when they paid to get the crystal clearity of HD.
