Splinter Cell Double Agent -- 1up preview, official pics.

No, but I have seen screens that damn near mirror reality on the 360 (MotoGP 2006). When you compare that nearly perfect MotoGP screen to a real picture, it's hard to tell the difference. When you put that same screen up against the new PS2 Polyphony MotoGP game, it doesn't look that much better.

Well, I just think you picked the wrong game for this particular argument. Looking at these screens and comparing them to the X360 screens, there is a massive difference in quality. But whatever, the games are allegedly not identical; the game is built for X360, and scaled down in terms of features and content to run on current gen consoles.

This looks hardly different from the similar shot in GI. Perhaps a bit more detail on the hostage. Maybe a few more polys thrown around, but hardly a generational difference. Calm down, though because they both looks impressive.

Sheesh, these boards have become so caustic lately. The game looks phenominal in the shots released, for whatever platform they are supposedly running on. There. Is that plain enough? I'm not bashing the game. Nor the system, be it PS2, XBox 360, or orignal XBox.

:: Sigh ::

You're insane. The difference is huge.
 
I knew right away when looking at those pics they were from current gen. I said as much then. But I thought they were Xbox 1 shots... finding out they were PS2 shots does blow my mind now though... wow!

Ubisoft is hands down my favorite gaming company after this gen. They owned me the whole way. They really are like the EA of old... just quality title one after another.
 
All those shots look current gen. I don't see what the surprise is. These shots should look this good, current gen is near the end of it's lifespan.

I've got the game informer in front of me.

A) the similar shot in GI definitely looks better, but not an order of magnitude better
b) that is one of the least impressive of the GI shots by a large margin (along with the rest of the shots on that page)

Agreed 100%. Even their lesser titles (XIII, for instance) are worth playing. But between Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell, and Beyond Good and Evil, Ubi was unstoppable in terms of quality. Wish I could say the same in terms of sales.

Wait...those were PS2 pics??????????

WHAT!?

I think the the splinter cell team must write in some new language that runs twice as fast as everything else out there, because if I had not been told otherwise, I would have NEVER beleived those were ps2 shots.
well, the fact that they turn off vsync helps. on my video card, it makes a HUGE difference in framerates... even on the bottom end and especially on the avg.
 
OK either we or the 1UP staff or the GI staff are idiots.

That GI scan when Sam is executing a guy looks WAY better than that 1UP shot af Sam executing a guy.

Therefore - GI scans = 360, 1UP shots = PS2.

I don't need a new set of eyes, I'm a hardcore GFX whore that can smell a shitty "Xbox 1.5" (that's kinda off-topic BTW) or a photoshopped-to-hell-and-back PS2 game from 10 miles.

GI scans look like next-gen title while 1UP shots like doctored PS2 shots, there's no denying.

The GI scans had BOTH PS2 screens and Xbox 360 screens in it.
