1st Generation PS3 Titles 'Looking Good', Better Than 360
Tommy Tallarico, the host of Judgement Day, a show on G4 that reviews and previews games, revealed a tidbit about the PS3 titles he has seen so far on the IGN boards -- he says they look great. Apparently, the first generation of Playstation 3 titles is much more impressive than the first generation of Xbox360 titles (according to Tommy, at least). Then again, we have heard this before.
Unfortunately I am under strict NDA and cannot mention any titles. The gameplay graphics look a little better than minor... but it more of the way the worlds and environments are being created and built. For example... in Project Gotham racing if you stop on the side of the road and look at a tree... it is basically just two texture maps pasted together in a cross pattern (like games have done for the past 10 years)... but some of the stuff I'm seeing on the PS3 has every element of a tree including branches, leaves, etc... and it all gets affected by the wind as your car passes by... as well as the lighting. Not saying the 360 CAN'T do that... I'm just saying that from what I've seen.... I'm a lot more impressed with the 1st generation PS3 titles compared to the 1st gen 360 titles.
