Umm....how? Have you even looked at any of those pictures? Watched any of the videos? They put the 360 to shame. The thing looks like trash. 4 pages of screenshots and videos don't lie.

It's also been out for less than a month. First game wave of next gen ALWAYS (or nearly) looks like last wave of prior gen. Dude, wait about 6 months. No ground breaking games have come out yet, give it a chance!

...and? You would really think out of ALL of the XBox 360 titles, atleast a FEW of them would look a LOT better than the XBox? Jaggies, ewwwww....crap textures...ewwww.....

Luigis Mansion came out at launch on the Gamecube, and it's still one of the prettiest looking games on the GC.

Besides, picture the N64 to the GC, the GC graphics even from day one were 10x better than the N64, now the XBox 360 comes out and it's graphics can be compared to the previous generation.

Quake 4 has horrible frame rate....so I guess they are already finding what the technology is capable of.

Not to mention, 1UP has always, and will always be the most negative game site... ever. I saw some pretty good updates that a lot of those screenshots don't show off at all. They're really TRYING to find a problem with them. I think a lot of them look better, and almost ALL of them [that I've played] have had performance boosts. Little to no load times, and no lag or whatnot in really highly graphical moments.

@VVD:And I guess you'd know for a fact that has to do with the hardware, and not some crappy coding?

CoD2 looks amazing.

That some of the games are ports should disqualify them from rating the system hardware.

Some shots made it look almost no different from the xbox.

And the Call of Duty 2 shots... meh. I guess it's okay, if you consider consoles will always be behind PCs.

It's both.

See, they have to code games in multithreaded situations in order to take advantage of the hardware, otherwise, to be honest, my PC could trounce it. Hell, all games it has out now, my PC could trounce graphically and performance wise. It's once the multithreaded capabilities get taken advantage of that you'll see the 360 shine, even the PS3, though I imagine developers will be more accustomed to it by the time of the PS3's release.

Honestly, saying that something that takes advantage of such new technology is crap based on a few ports is kinda silly. Give it time.

1) quite a few 360 titles are just ports of newish xbox games.
2) the console has been out for less then 2 months, give the developers time to focus completly on the 360 and it's abilities, so far it seems developers are thinking that the 360 is just another xbox and have not been taking full advantage of the system.

they even admitted it on the site that COD2 was great looking and was clearly designed FOR the 360, when more developers decide to focus on releaseing on the 360 aloneand not worrying about porting it to the other systems we'll see ALOT more games that look REALLY nice for it.

don't condem a console because a few of it's launch titles are a sad selection.

Screenshots don't do some of the games justice. The sound and experience of King Kong and Call of Duty 2 on the HDTVs is amazing. Im not saying the launch was great, but these two games, especially Call of Duty 2, shows that there are great things to come.

Wow, NBA Live 06 actually looks REALLLY nice

if it weren't for the slightly jerky and unnatural animation that has plagued ALL basketball games, it'd look and feel freaking real

I don't see why they think COD 2 looks better on the XBox360. In every single pic the PC looks better. No jaggies, better textures and bump mapping. And also the "Xbox" screenshots for NFS were not Xbox shots. They were taken on a dev. machine. They had AA for crying out loud.

Actually you lose for failing to be funny.


Nobody said anything about hating the 360, but did you even look at the article?

Half of those games look almost the same as their XBox counterpart. Yes I understand they were developed for both, but what happened to being Next Gen? What happened to those amazing screenshots we saw a few months ago?



In conclusion, you are not cool for trying to insult him. Dont pick fights like that

xbox360 version has bump mapping... however little or no AF also it seems to use no AA at all

even in 480i where the game is running at a lower resolution it's not using any AA or AF

[quote=Penny Arcade]1up recently "rocked" an article asking whether or not the 360 genuinely represents the HD Era, something I thought only required a guaranteed vertical resolution of 720p. They raise a lot of interesting points, moving through the launch titles like a T-800 might stalk through the dystopian hellscape of a future where machines rule.[/quote]

Just thought that was funny.

Eh, I've seen and played the 360. It's not interesting. At all. I'm going to wait for PS3.

That article was an interesting read, but some of the things that it said about the screenshots weren't all that true. Some of them DO look better.

Madden looks like crap for 'next-gen', I must say. And I was never a fan of the series. PGR3 looks good, but I hate the way it plays. CoD2 is a PC port.
