That's rather contradictory. If it's not easily and immediately seen, then it's not really obvious, now is it.

It’s only a contradiction because you don’t understand it. A blind man can’t see the obvious that doesn’t make the obvious not there.

nothing is obvious. its quite smug to declare something obvious when apparently the only one who claims to see it is you.

the schizophrenic considers the little green men planting bugging devices in their dental fillings to be obvious. doesnt mean they're there.

Telling the difference between a clear image and a blurry image is very obvious to someone with eyes. Any one can use a slippery slope to exaggerate something beyond reason.

so you have seen the console version of wow to know its blurry?
amazing since it was never even attempted. really, maybe you should
just drop the "zomg you all idiots" point, because you have no ground to stand on.

We weren't talking about the wow port but all ports in gereral, and how a PS3 game ported over to xbox 360 wouldn't look as good as the orignal version without them remaking the game, just as a 360 game doesn't look as good on the PS3 as we have all seen in a very obvious display of port vs orginal.

But it is off topic so consider it droped.

the differences are superficial. i prefer the lighting effects on the xbox 360, in reference to the posted comparrison article. however one is no more or less blurry than the other. in fact they are both crisp hd images.

blizzard is just making weak excuses when in all probability they simply dont want to do it for whatever unknown reason. maybe licensing/contract issues with microsoft, maybe they just feel that they will not be as successful since in all likelyhood people who would play the game already are playing on pc. whatever the case, they see no profit in such a venture and seem to have thrown out a weak blanket excuse with the illusion that all they care about is the happiness of their customers. and yet their current customers are in lag hell, so i hear.

How are we going off topic when you keep bringing it up?

Nah, WoW really just wouldn't work well on a console. It's a game where you really need a keyboard and mouse to play it. Targeting with a controller wouldn't work, and you need tons of buttons mapped to skills so that you can use them swiftly and easily. The only way it would work on a console is if it required you to use a keyboard and mouse also, which wouldn't work for most people.

well yeah, thats what i assumed earlier. what i am arguing against is this notion that it will turn out 'blurry', which apparenlty is an obvious conscequence which we are all blind to

My little store I work in, which maybe gets 3-4 PS3s at a time, actually had one in stock that hadn't been sold for two days. I was amazed. Especially as it seems most people around where I live check there before Target or Best Buy. Interest in the PS3 has dropped a lot, since it's been made clear all the issues with it, and the fact that there's no games and the ones that are out, look just as good if not better on the 360.

Thats crazy, and kinda funny considering people are paying double online, when they can go to the store and actually buy one for normal price. Just out of curiousity, where do you work?

Speak for yourself, I can see the obvious blurriness of a version of a game that isn't even out yet. You noob.

Good for you. You have the same observations as any gamer. Callin me a noob, ouch, that hurt, I mean thats original, espicially considering I've been a member for years.

I doubt he was responding to your post. Still, BF is entitled to call a vast majority of this board noobs compared to himself.

It kinda sucks when almost everyone on here is oblivious to blurry graphics.

There is a difference between making a game for system and porting a game over to a system. Wow would have to be remade on the system so it wouldn't be a port, if they tried to port the game it wouldn’t work.

When you port a game from one console to another they covert the code into a suitable form by using an automated code converter which can’t result in better quality, kinda like burning a dvd to HDdvd the quality will not be better than dvd even though its on HD-DVD.

VF5 will look the close to same on PS3 as it will on Xbox360 because it's not a port it will be created for the Xbox and for the PS3. A port would be if they created the game for PS3 and converted it to run on xbox, if they did that the Xbox360 version would look worse than the ps3 version.

I thought this was common knowledge and I was wrong.

Than it looks like the jokes on me. 😉

Yea, perhaps I overreacted, but still, unless its a joke, calling someone a noob has run its course.
