Just a thought: if pc F1 2010 looks THIS much better than ps3, can you just imagine how incredible GT5 would be on pc if the same improvements over ps3 were there. OMG.
Anyway I have ps3 and am not bothered, but F' me, do those pc screenshots look mind blowing! I want to use all of them as my desktop backround ..at the same time.

Really, really sharp.

Aside from it looking far better on a PC than it ever could on a PS3, I'd imagine one of the reasons Sony would probably never let that happen is because as soon as it does - it's immediately out of their hands. Every audio sample, every color, every detail is primed for modification. Now, why would Sony want amateurs making the game better than PD could? :P
 
It doesn't look THAT much better on the PC, really. The sharpness is all due to the fact that most of us play on large resolutions and the images get resized to a smaller size. That automatically leads to a sharper image.

I'm not that overwhelmed by the game's graphics. In fact, the original graphics look horrible in the typical Codemasters brown look kind of way. Installing a lighting mod improves the visuals a tenfold. Watching the Ferrari F458 Italia trailer from PD in 1080p make me realize just how far the guys from PD have been able to push the limits of the PS3.

Well is it an order of magnitude better on pc or isnt it?? :)

Anyway yes you have to figure Sony had a score of ps3 engineers at Kazurori's beck and call to supply any and all workarounds to the difficulties he faced. Plus they've had a long time to put all the pieces together. I wouldnt think GT5 will be 50% better than F1 10 graphically on ps3, but I would think something in the range of 10-15% sounds right. Subjective, I know, but thats what I'm guessing.

added: yes and I'm always confused by resolutions ..I have HD, but F1 10 does not use 1080, right? Its a 720 game. Unlike x-box. right? Dirt2 was the same way I believe.

While that it is true, it isn't wholeheartedly true. The visuals on the PC are that much better for the simple fact of driver acceleration, whether it be through hardware or through the software itself. Turning on Adaptive AA, 16x AF, higher quality mipmapping, and setting the AA one or two notches higher (depending on your card) than the software itself supports...in addition to the MSAA (Multi-sampling) all contribute to a much clearer, vivid, and pristine environment. Of course it's going to eat your frames (especially in it's current state) but the options are there. None of which are user-defined on consoles.


 
While I loooove the pc screens as being exciting to look at, its really still just a preference thing as far as the anti-sepia mod. I can set my hdtv to give a cleaner and brighter picture to my ps3 but I dont prefer it. But for the life of me I dont know why the curbing in this screen is being reflected by my helmet so strangely???

I think PS3 would be better had CM not half-assed it and made it 1080. Thats the major reason why it looks sooooo much better on PC

Not true.

The PC version, as well as the 360 version use an optimized DX9 engine. The PS3 uses a modified OpenGL platform. Also, let's not forget that the 360 has a better GPU.

All of that contributes to why the 360 and PC versions look better than the PS3 version. The best possible reason I can think of is because it wasn't fully optimized for OpenGL or Nvidia cG.
 
Since when does the 360 have a better GPU than PS3? lol Last I looked, the best looking games were put on PS3....

Since both of their official specs were publicly disclosed; the 360 uses a hybrid X1800/X1900, whereas the PS3 uses a 7800GT. What you're thinking of is Cell in conjunction with the PS3's GPU. That's why PS3 games look much better than the 360 could....simply because the PS3 has seven processors (referred to as SPE's) that can handle and execute both graphical and data-intensive loads/demands.

If Cell wasn't able to do what it could, it'd be like the original Xbox and PS2 all over again. That's the price paid when you're first to market....everyone else gets a look at what your product is capable of and can either decide or know if they're product has greater theoretical bandwidth - which the PS3 does.

In the sense of one GPU versus the other, the 360 wins. Hands down.

Ok. I was gonna say, if so why isnt PD putting GT5 on 360 then. So as I assume it's simply what the game creators choose to put into the game.
 
I'm getting this game this weekend, and I was wondering everyone keeps on saying how pc is better than ps3 for graphics. How many of these pics in this thread are from pc and how many from ps3. And how much worse is the ps3 for graphics.

Do I really have to explain it again? :lol:

All of mine and chromatic's are from the PC version; one of us is forcing DirectX 11, the other (me) is maxing out DirectX 9.


EDIT: More pictures!

Nice helmet T12 !

How long will it take to skin a car in the full Williams/Rothmanns scheme?
(my bad if its been done already.) Dont know why I drool whenever I see an older McLaren or Williams paint job. Must be a Senna thing.

You want Damon? You got it. DH Champion Helmet

You want Senna? You got it. AS Champion Helmet

As for customizing the liveries, you can wait until the community has at them (which is already happening) or you can download the texture editor and give it a whirl for yourself. F1 2010 Textures Editor
 
HAHA nice. Ya I downloaded that mod, thing is CRAZY cool. You can pretty much change the entire game haha
 
This is embarrising. I only just found out about the PS3 screen capture fuction so I took a couple of shots. I even took them to photoshop for a little post processing and they're still poles apart! I feel cheated by codemasters. Everything I saw leading upto the game was obviously taken from the PC or xbox version. Anyway;

I know lol More of an expression. I' way more of a PS3 fan than 360, so that info I never really investigated.
 
^^Sorry mods, Browser messed up while quick replying^^ Just delete, thanks
sucks we can't delete our own posts :/

I thought this was required to know to pass the GTP signup entrance exam. :sly:

It's because Sony owns PD. Simple as that.

I know lol It was more of an expression than actually being serious. I guess I never really investigated the GPU comparison separately. Ps3 has just always been more powerful and better, but I guess not necessarily in the GPU alone.

Terronium-12 :

Can I ask you to take one or two pictures of this kind that I can use as wallpaper on my ps3? I mean ones using a car by itself in profile against some backround of interest ..monaco, for example, -it doesnt have to be this exact spot of course. Also, my hdtv is pretty big so if you could keep the size/resolution UP, that would help. I'm actually using this pic right now, but the quality suffers as a wallpaper. Having no icons anywhere is nice though! Last thing- if you can take the pic so the car is towards the bottom? (like in this pic) -that helps keep it away from the main menu ps3 symbols.

One thing nice about this pic of chromatics is it shows the weather effects without the car, you know, actually just sitting out in the pouring rain. Its moody in a good way. Its a nice composition. Now I know you arent Ansell Adams, but you're a good egg, and if anyone can help me its you.

Whew!! I feel like I asked you for a lot. Anyway its for a good cause ! :)
