- as I remeber it when looking at the hardware the ps3 acheives a higher theoretical ceiling in terms of rendering but is hampered by a severe ram bottleneck where the 360 has the advantage, im remebering this from a while back i think teuf posted a proper analysis I cant remember. regardless that seems to hold true, when the ps3 has a linear game to run with few characters it does a supreme job, but seems to choke a bit when it has to render a larger environment with a good number of Characters on screen. so personally I'd call it equal with a nod to the 360 for versatility.

The talent behind the games being developed also plays a crucial role - as does the resources availible to the devs. Otherwise all games on 360 would look as good as Gears of War 3 whereas all games on PS3 would look like Uncharted 3. Some devs do a better job than others, it's not a difficult concept to grasp.
[QUOTE="ShadowMoses900"]
You can keep saying "same power" and quote a couple devs (which btw I quoted several so I am more credible) but that doesn't matter when you look at the meat and potatoes. The PS3 exclusives out shine EVERYTHING on 360 in terms of graphics and tech.
[/QUOTE]
The credibility of the devs you've quoted is questionable at best. I mean what the fvck do you expect a Guerilla Games (OWNED. BY. SONY) developer to say? And how many games have said quoted developers developed on 360 to help back up their claims? Null.
[QUOTE="ShadowMoses900"]
This is a fact, there is nothing on 360 that matches UC or KZ or GOW ect....it still cannot match KZ 2 or UC 2, both of those games are like 3 or 4 years old! You can deny it, but you know it's the truth. This is why you damage control and rage on PS3 games, because they look so much than anything on your 360.
[/QUOTE]
The fact is that Gears of War 3 and Crysis 2 ARE both comparable to the games you listed; whereas Crysis 2 is widely considered to be the best technical achievement on consoles so far this generation.
electripig "Crysis 2 is outstanding in almost every department, not least its visuals, which are the very best either PS3 or Xbox 360 has to offer right now"
GamesRadar:"Crysis 2 does run on consoles, and it does so beautifully. We're calling it now: Crysis 2 is possibly the best-looking console game ever."
xg247.co.uk"Crysis 2 is definitely the best looking game on consoles and PC"
IGN "Crysis 2 on Xbox 360 has taken the crown for best graphics in a console game"
digital foundry face off "The crucial thing is that both are phenomenally attractive games, producing effects quite different and in many ways more advanced than anything we've seen elsewhere on console. We all wanted Crysis on console to be an event, a showcase release: by and large, Crytek has delivered, and those cutting edge visuals are backed by a truly impressive game design."
Eurogamer "But it is a world whose intricacy and realism will cause you to stop and stare long after the first drop of the jaw. The sway of tree-tops; the spray of a decorative fountain; the flames erupting from a burst gas pipe: incidental details that grab your attention for their quiet, shocking realism. Who knows how Crytek managed to squeeze Cry Engine 3 onto the consoles while maintaining such extraordinary level of detail? But this world sits next to Uncharted 2's as the most detailed and well-expressed yet seen on our TVs."
CVG"best looking fps ever"
justpushstart.com "I find Crysis 2 visuals to be superior to similar shooters like Call of Duty: Black Ops or Killzone 3."
denofgeek "I honestly think that this may well be the single best looking FPS I've ever seen, on any platform. It really does look that good."
joystiq: Though about the millionth FPS built around a plot of an alien invasion, give or take a few, it's also the most beautiful.
destructoid: Naturally, the gameplay is all wrapped up with some of the most gorgeous visuals you'll see in a videogame.
gameinformer: Crytek wisely sticks to the traits that made the first game successful while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of graphical fidelity.
1up: Crysis 2 is just as visually impressive as its predecessor, even on PS3 and 360.
gamezone: The game looks utterly stunning and is arguably one of the best-looking shooters on consoles. I'm still undecided whether Crysis 2 looks better than the original game, but the fact that there is a discussion about which looks better speaks volumes on what Crytek was able to accomplish with their engine.
strategyinformer: Crysis 2 is bloody gorgeous, and by far one of the most polished games we've ever played. Watching the cityscape come crashing down around you in all its HD glory is quite the sight, especially in some of the more open areas midway through the main campaign. Whether you've diving across rooftops or making your way into the heart of an alien hive, it's all jaw-dropping throughout.
gamerevolution: Somehow the team over at Crytek has found a way to make their sequel just as visually remarkable as the original and without the need to spend a fortune on a fancy new video card and extra RAM (on the console at least)
msxbox-world: Crysis may have been the benchmark game on PC but for console owners there might be a new kid on the block as Crysis 2 really is a sight to behold.
metro: Although Crysis 2 swaps an actual jungle for the urban variety, the level of near photorealism remains. Despite the impressive scale the attention to detail is second to none: from hedges that shed leaves as you run through them to the filtering of light through a half-destroyed wall. That all this is running on a middle-aged console, not a state of the art PC, only makes it more impressive.
PSU "best looking shooter on PlayStation 3"
Even fvcking PSU called it the best looking shooter on the PS3. Looks as if the gaming industry in general disagrees with you :(

Ironically Crysis 2 didn't even win a single graphic award, UC3 took them all that year.
[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncharted_3:_Drake's_Deception#Awards]UC3[/url] = 13 graphic awards and 2 of the awards are from Game Developers Choice Awards and the other one from Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences.

I mentioned technical achievement. There's more to a game's graphics than AA, 1080p or other factors that are very tasking on the hardware. Uncharted 3 could be a better looking game, however, it is questionable whether it pushes the technical boundaries the likes of which Crysis 2 or Battlefield 3 did last year on consoles and/or PC; a plethora of PC games in general share this achievement. Metro 2033 blows practically all games on the consoles out of the water on a technical level, but it looks far less pleasing to the eyes than the likes of Journey, which is why I reckon the latter game would receive the award ahead of the former.
This is exactly why Crysis 2 won the best graphics award (technical) right here on Gamespot, contrary to your statement that it had won bugger all. :|
This article lays things out nicely:
http://www.nowgamer.com/features/1178205/uncharted_3_portal_2_skyrim_the_best_graphics_of_2011.html
[quote=" "]
Crysis 2
There is an argument that the original Crysis which also released on consoles this year is the technically better looking game, but thats not something to focus on. Crysis 2 is a technical achievement, especially on consoles, theres no doubt about that.
But chalk another one up for Crytek since the developer was also the first to make use of DirectX 11 that was released this year, and as a result cranked the PC versions up a notch making it an even more impressive looking game.
Though most of this visual adventure is clever funnelling thereby minimalising the stress on console graphics cards the level of detail in Crysis 2s depiction of a war torn New York is one of the most fantastic sights this year.[/quote]
[quote=" "]
Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception
Naughty Dog is something of a master of its trade, managing the various intricacies of the PS3s Cell processor to produce one of the most visually impressive games of the year.
While the textures and range of colour is just as remarkable as many other games on this list, the main reason Uncharted 3 stands out is the attention to detail. Take the ship level, for example, where Drake must steady himself against its swaying, while the procedural water flows from side to side.
Theres more to Uncharted 3 than just high-fidelity textures and polygon counts; its the art direction that makes Uncharted 3 most impressive. Such as the moment after Drake crash lands into the desert and must walk for miles here art direction rules over impressive graphics, as Naughty Dogs clever use of a wide camera shot emphasises Drakes feeling of being lost in a barren desert.
[/quote]
Had graphics awards been solely based on technical details; we'd see a PC game on the gold podium EVERY YEAR...
Also, in the link you provided, UC3 had been awarded "only" 9 graphics awards of which 3 were from IGN's polling stations.
In addition, UC3 was released in November as opposed to Crysis 2 in March, they were both released in 2011. So even if UC3 managed to pile up all of those graphics awards, that doesn't somehow undo the fact that the plethora of reviewers that I listed above consider Crysis 2 to be better looking (be it design or technically) than EVERY. SINGLE. PREVIOUS. CONSOLE. GAME, i.e. Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, MGS4, Heavy Rain etc., games that cows have been babbling on for years on end to be "impossible on 360 due to PS3's oh so greater powerzzz". So then Uncharted 3 releases, and is perhaps better looking than Crysis 2 on 360 (if your awards is any metric to go by)...and that is suddenly proof of PS3 being more powerful than 360?
Nuh uh, buddy..sorry, it doesn't work that way. The hardware in 360 and PS3 is constant and doesn't change in cycles depending on what game happens to be better looking during a given period of time. That is why you too should turn to Dave Shippy, the chief architecht behind Cell/Xenon, if you want to know the potential capabilities of each console. I've already quoted him twice above, and I won't do so again.

Or...Crysis 2 was the best looking console game upon release. Recall that UC3 was released a few months down the road. But hey, keep 'em conspiracy theories coming!
It's funny you should call those reviews out on "pure hype and marketing" when IGN is one of said reviewers. You know, the very site that awarded UC3 some of those graphics awards you mentioned. All those awards were pure hype and marketing on IGN's behalf!

[QUOTE="ShadowMoses900"]
Console Crysis is not PC Crysis, and UC and KZ ect... look better than console Crysis. Which btw is a multiplat and identical on both platforms, so it does not matter. The fact is 360 has nothing to match many PS3 exclusives. And it never will, because it can't handle those kind of games.
[/QUOTE]The fact 360 ad PS3 ended up with more or less the same graphics is killing this guy lol
