Well, I just played Call of Duty 4 on my friend's Xbox 360 all evening yesterday from start to finish and I can say: "Wow, graphics are so realistic". It was on a 65" TV too.

People slag the Wii for not being a HD console, that it's max is 480p and all that jazz. Yet all these best looking "HD console" games are sub 720p, making them ED and not HD.

It's amazing how these buzzwords catch on and people say "The Wii looks crap because it isn't HD"... No! The Wii looks crap because it lacks shaders and friends that the other systems have.

It's like how PC players talk about FPS games lagging when they're actually getting dropped frames from their system having to render so much. Dropped frames =/= lag and HD =/= Awesome graphics.

Correct terms people :p time to put all this HD nonsense to bed. And other silly terms.

PS. I agree that CoD4 is beautiful.

MGS4 is 720p
Ninja Gaiden 2 is 1080p

Both are beautiful in their respected genre / style graphically so your statement is a little fallicious there ;)

And most Wii games would look better in 720p - that's not slagging off the wii, its a genuine and true statement.
 
You don't get it here often, not the regulars of the console forum anyroad.
And what about GTA, Halo, CoD4 as well? ;)

Yep, tis true for your TV. ;)

If you had one of these hulks instead, you wouldn't be bothered. It's an HD set that comes with a SD filter called CRT. :)

I get the feeling the PS3 will surpass the Xbox 360 one day in terms of graphics... Though by then Microsoft might have a new gaming system out that trounces the PS3. :p
 
The PS3s and Xbox 360s are still not being used to their "true" potential.
In the end, I like the PS3 a little bit more than Xbox 360 and I think a "true" PS3 game will look better than a "true" Xbox 360 game.

for someone who fell for gflpraxis' post, i cant take what you say with any seriousness lol as you frankly have no clue about the machines in question lol
