Best looking E3 game video. And its not on PS3

What irritates me the most about E3 is so many companies "cheat" just to get attention. Many many years ago it was Nintendo previewing the N64, except it was a demo running on a crazy Silicon Graphics workstation that had much more power than the real N64. Most of the other companies just show pre-rendered cinematics, or glossy polished game scenes that are not representative of the final product.

The truth is, we've been able to churn out these high-quality graphics on PC's for a few years already. The problem with the PC is that we're more obsessed with resolution than detail; people want to run their games in 1600x1200 just because they can, instead of running in low-res like a game console, but with prettier eye candy.

If we took a Geforce 7900 GTX and ran it in 640x480 or 800x600, it would be capable of rendering absolutely gorgeous scenes in real-time, but in our race for numeric superiority we don't bother with any of that, we just want bigger, hotter, faster chips.
