Let me just say that the PC version screenshots of the game look ten times better than what I was playing on my XBOX 360 beta demo, this is one game where I think you will see the quality of the pc version is leaps beyond the xbox 360, this was not always the case with xbox 360 and pc games, usually before it wouldnt be so far behind in quality but the xbox 360 version looked terrible, maybe because it was beta but i doubt it.

Obviously im picking up the PC version since my 8800 is hungry.

You have a HDTV? Because these shots look nearly identical to the 360 version I played, the 360 version is even higher resolution than these shots, and has decent AA, but not quite this high...

The 360 version looked incredible, and I find it hard to believe you actually played it...

I hope my 8800GTX will handle it :)

The graphics dont look much different from the 360 version. the PC version just seems to have a lot more AA to it. like seriously, a 8800 is wat can run crysis. unless your saying this game looks better then crysis. if thats true then u should just buy yourself another video card because the one u have is crap :O

but really, this game is still amazing and i'm really looking forward to it.

I used a VGA cable with my Samsung Widescreen, 1280x720 in the options.

My gamertag is edgeofthecosmos, and yes I did play it.

Then what are you seeing in these shots that are different from the beta? Seriously, the textures, shaders, lighting (besides the shots we have nothing to compare them with, besides 360 gameplay footage), shadows, geometry detail, it's all identical from what I remember...

I can accept the AA is a good deal better in these shots, but that doesn't mean the 360 version looks 'terrible' and the PC version looks '10 times better' by any means...

Well it was more than just no AA, I remember it being washed out to the point of looking terrible, at least for me. Everything looked dull, from the weapons I was using to the ground. Maybe you're right, since its just a beta. Hopefully it will look better. Maybe its because I sit so close to my PC LCD monitor while playing the XBOX 360.

What do you think of Gear's graphics? Personally I think THAT game looked far too washed out. On my HDTV the game looks nearly identical to what I'm seeing from these PC shots on my monitor.

It won't look any better because it already looked nearly this good in the beta...

Here are some 360 shots from IGN, which are obviously from a capture card and even suffer from IGN's typical compression (shots are half the size in kilobytes from IGN but higher resolution than these PC shots)...

Besides the extra AA and possibly some extra AF, I can't see any difference in these shots. The gun models and textures are 100% the same...

yeah the 360 is not terrible at all, they both look the same. but the PC version is just "cleaner". its like, if u gave the 360 a bath it would come out looking like the PC version. meaning, it will still look the same, polished up a bit more and has a lot more straighter edges to it.

Well for those with a high end computer, it'd be worth it probably, crank up the AA and AF, and even the resolution if your comp can handle it.

But as far as in-game assets, shaders, and everything, they're identical. You run the PC version at 1280x720, 2xAA and AF and at 60fps, that's the 360 version.

From my recolition of the beta, your armour depends on the class you picked, sniper for example, would have full camo gear, it wouldnt be right for a sniper to be covered in gear that makes him easy to spot from miles away, whilst a rifleman wont be concealed so therefore doesnt need camo :)

Yeah the sniper class is a bit obvious one.

But I think that when you choose the class you want and their gear looks cool, later on you can customize its weapon specials...I am a assault rifle class fan sohopefully they already go the cool light gear.

For VGA cable you need to activate one option in xbox 360 settings, or you will have "dull" colors.

Looks stunning. Can't imagine it will look like this on PS3 or X360. But when it comes near to it, that would be great!! When I first saw the thematics of CoD4 (new age war), I was quite dissapointed. But now, the more often I see images or vids, the more I'm getting into it. Impressiv.

Looks like the same maps as were in the Xbox 360 beta (except for the shiplevel ones).. And it looks even better, with much better textures and detail etc.. I cannot wait to play this on the PC, it's gonna kick major ass..

It's not as simple as that, because the consoleversions most likely have the texturequality on medium where on the PC you can put them higher.. I've played the Xbox 360 beta and most textures upclose although still looking good were blurred, not as sharp/detailed as in these PC screenshots.. The reason is the Xbox 360 and PS3 simply don't have the memory to handle such high resolution textures..

Did you even look at the shots I posted from IGN? Did you read anything I typed? There is NO MORE TEXTURE DETAIL IN THESE SHOTS THAN IN THE 360 BETA.

It's as simple as that because it's THE FACTS. They wouldn't release shots of the PC version without texture detail maxed, that's not how marketing works. Seriously, compare the textures between the IGN shots I posted and these, there's no difference at all.

I'm so sick and tired of PC gamers these days, in constant denial of reality and won't do any research for themselves. PC gamers these days = console gamers in the 90's...

I'm sorry, but the only fact here is you probably need glasses because the textures in the PC screenshots are higher quality.. Just look at the weapon-serialnumber or the textures in general, it's quite obvious they are more blurred in the Xbox 360 screenshots.. It's not night and day, but the differences are there.. And like I said, that makes sense because the Xbox 360 (and PS3) simply does not have the videomemory to run such high quality textures like a high-end PC with massive ammounts of videomemory can..

PC: http://images.gamersyde.com/gallery/public/6650/12...
Xbox 360: http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/...

A high-end PC obviously can handle higher quality textures, higher resolution, and more AA and AF then the consoles.. Obviously those things make the game look better on a high-end PC.. Other then that, the versions are probably the same..

And there's nothing strange about that, because you cannot expect a 300-400 euro/dollar gameconsole based on by now 2 year old tech to keep up with the latest high-end PC tech.. Infact it's pretty amazing what a Xbox 360 and PS3 can still produce in the graphicsdepartment.. 90% of PC gamers don't have a PC that outperforms those consoles yet.. But the high-end does..

It's all so obvious and makes perfect sense, yet some people keep kidding themselfs..

I'm sorry, you're seeing better textures that aren't there. The guns in those two shots have the exact same textures...

The PC shots textures are actually quite a bit sharper.. I'm not sure if it's because of the assets themselves or improved filtering.. but they are sharper.. that much is obvious.

Also, PLENTY of publishers release screenshots and videos of PC games without them being on their highest possible output settings. THAT is a fact. It happens all the time.

I don't get the generalizations against PC gamers either. It's really not so far fetched to think that the definitive version of this game (and many other cross platform FPS games in particular) will be on the PC. It's not a personal insult, it's an educated estimate of where the PC game should be .

But yeah.. I'm going to have to go with Inflatable on that one. The textures are obviously sharper in the PC shot he linked, versus the console version in the same post.
