PS3 vs. Xbox 360- Graphics

Graphics are on of the most important things to looks at  in a game. So important, in fact, that’s become a factor that can make or break a game. Developers are constantly pushing forwards to new levels with no end in sight. So the begs us to ask the question, which of HD twins has the best graphics? Well, let’s find out.

3 years, 8 months ago we were introduced to the next generation of gaming.  We didn’t know what to expect over the following year and, needless to say, we were not disappointed. 2006 saw the release of Gears of War, a launch title for the Xbox 360 the utilized the Unreal Engine 3. It blew away our minds with amazing textures and animations and gameplay like no other. It WAS truly next generation and we all knew it would only get better. With the release of the PS3 came Uncharted. The game we all remember. Uncharted was and still is amongst the best looking games ever and a technical feat.

So, enough reminiscing, which console has better graphics? Most developers state that both consoles have around the same power. Both consoles use a different architecture and it has been established the the PS3 is harder to develop for as it has a larger learning curve; however, we’ve also seen what the PS3 can do. Killzone 2 is, without a doubt, the best looking console game today. If you play it on your HDTV you’ll know that and you won’t deny it. Given the current evidence, it would seem the PS3 can pull out better graphics. Gears of War 2 is still the best looking 360 game and it’s quite obvious that Killzone 2 far exceeds it.

While developers say they’re both roughly equal, I’d have to say that, as of today, the PS3 is the more powerful console. Uncharted 2 looks incredible and if you saw footage of God of War 3 then that’s more than enough to satisfy any self-proclaimed graphics whore. If you’re looking for the console with most horsepower and best graphics, you won’t go wrong with the PS3.
