This really could be fully tapping the lowest common denominators of both consoles though. Of course there are/will be better looking exclusives, but it's pretty clear IW are trying to make the games pretty much identical on both systems. Some will hate that fact, I think it's probably for the best to avoid all the bullshit online.Blast Processing said:

PC gamer pointing out graphical superiority compared to PS3/360= "douchey" and elitist
PS3/360 gamer pointing out graphical superiority compared to Wii = acceptable
Nothing wrong here..

Same here. I plan to get the PC version once this game hits. So I'll be playing at... 1680x1050 =/

Technically, this only matters to people playing this game on a 1080p screen (which as of a month ago, I now am 
)
CoD4 looked amazing on my 3 year old Bravia in 720p, but looks like ass upscaled to the shit on a 1080p screen. Blurry jaggy mess.

i must have missed this.................... WUT???????????????????????
:lol
The guys I play with are like 28 and up and one of em plays on his daughters old ariel the mermaid 15inch TV. He thinks killzone2 and gears of war 2 are some ugly ass games. Now think that there are thousands or millions of guys out there like that.
If it looks and plays like MW1 with tiny improvments in other places I'll be happy and entertained for months.

The thing is, if you didn't tell people, 99 out of 100 wouldn't notice. All this is is a stupid reason for haters to bash the game.

As they should be, when you keep in mind that -we- the peasants have spend a small fortune and yet never got what we were told we were getting.
It's quite sad really. Especially since I am now left without that small fortune.

I was quite appalled when playing an online match on my new sammy for the first time. The jagfest was not something I expected. Funnily enough I've grown used to jaggy consolegames and I probably won't care when MW2 comes out. The iq will have been upped anyway so it can only get better.

Who gives a shit?deepbrown said:Your second one should be 1024x768
BTW - you could fit three MW2's in WipEout HD's resolution.

Oh please. We have the best strategy games, best online experience, best FPS's and best MMORPG's. We also get to play games made years ago and not have to play them at 240x320 because we can juice them up with AA and AF to make them not look like blurry fucking messes running at 20FPS.
One good PC game can last a decade, show me a console Starcraft, theres none. This is excluding all the shit we get for free, like mods and additional content, which consolers have to pay out the ass for.

Is that a joke? That resolution is valid for most 22" monitors.

Yeah, I was spoiled by my Bravia. It's max resolution is 1366 x 768, which for anyone who ISN'T in denial, is actually as high as you should be going for console gaming.
In the RARE instance a game is rendered in 1080p, it'll still look amazing anyway.
When I first saw today's games in 1080p, I was actually quite shocked at how much worse they looked than on my 3 year old LCD.
They get upscaled to the SHIT. CoD4 and inFAMOUS are so far two of the biggest culprits.
Killzone 2 has probably been the best performer so far. Gears of War 2 has held it's own, and this will surprise many, but I don't know what Bungie implemented, but Halo 3 surprisingly doesn't really suffer much at all on a 1080p screen. I was pleasantly surprised.

Welcome to the internet (and real life). Unless they are joking around, they do lack grace and probably have some sort of self esteem/validation issues, I agree. But what do you want? This is a hardcore gaming forum where people spend precious time talking about the pastime for those with the ability and inclination to waste money on tech-based interactive escapist fantasies. There's inherently a certain level of bullshit and self-delusion involved.Huttie0 said:

So true... And PC supporters saying that there is no way they'd buy a console every 5 years are full of it. You basically buy a new gaming rig every time you swap out the graphics card and CPU. what is left? a motherboard that doesn't support the latest USB standards and a case that is all dusty, lol. So yeah, you might as well buy a new console every 5 years, only difference is you get to choose when you get new hardware as a PC gamer.

So let me get this straight, does 600p matter or dunn't it?
HL2's graphics easily held up against Doom 3's and Far Cry 2's I think, due to high-resolution textures, a really good quality (static) lighting model, some nice shader effects, and fantastic character models (complete with realistic musculature and full facial animation).dojokun said:
They didn't really update the engine a great deal for the episodes though, and the lack of a proper dynamic lighting system really shows at this point.
So you have a point, with regards to Valves post-Half-Life 2 work on the Source engine, though TF2 has held up pretty well, due to its cartoony style.

600p is unacceptable. Especially considering modified q3 engine and insane $80 price.

I repeat: people should buy a relatively cheap 8800/9800, throw it in their computer, and then stop bitching

When you play PC games how many of you guys pump up all the effects and then play the game at some low resolution to make it smooth? I bet not many. I always put the resolution at my monitors default and then place the various graphics settings at levels that I can get a smooth frame-rate. I bet that is how most of you guys do it as well.
This is why I despise the people trying to justify this by saying frame-rate is more important than resolution. Um, I think both are pretty damn necessary. Give me 60FPS AND 720P resolution. I want my games sharp and fluid, if that means slightly less grass on the ground or 10% less polygons in the models or toned down special effects then so be it.
