You may find that you may not be buying any PC games for awhile if you are taking the stance of "eyefinity" or no-game, I will go to my console... well guess what that console supports... one screen at probably a lower res...
Forza 3 for Xbox 360 supports triple screen and does it very well. It has it's own built in bezel management. I think it is the only console game that does though haha.

Really? how in the hell do you get 3 screens connected to an xbox 360? Makes me wonder why the developer even bothered.
it's not 3 screens on one console. it's 3 consoles with 3 screens and synced to different viewing angles. that means you need three games, 3 consoles and 3 screens.
one of the consoles works as the master, or host, so that you can use one controller.
It's really on par with people who have tri / xfire 5870 and such. Accept in some cases the 360 setup can be less or more expensive.
Sitting that close to 720p with little AA would make my brain hurt.
How so it is actually 5760 X 1080 not so bad huh. Have you even played Forza 3 or any console title. It is not as bad as most PC fanboys think. Games are getting a lot better for consoles than they used to be.
This is my setup of Forza 3. And yes it can be cheaper then most High End ATI cards. But this is the only game as of now that works that I know of. I wish more devs would make this happen. It just shows what AAA devs can do compared to well you know.....
I really love Forza 3 and it is an amazing racing game for console. I wish there were pc sims that looked as good as Forza 3 but there isn't.. Yea yea Rfactor iRacing, GTR they all have amazing physics and sound but so does Forza 3.
If you have not played it watch the video review on sim racing tonight. They even make a point to tell pc gamers that consoles have come a long way and are not really on the bottom anymore like people think haha.
forza 2 and 3 are great games. but they clearly lack that PC flare when it comes to detail. Forza 3 foliage anyone? Great game, but consoles will always be behind the PC, and the PC will always be more expensive, as the console will always have lower end hardware. Unless one day we make that cross into Personal Console realm. Upgradeable console parts would be amazing. When that happens, you wont see the PC or console, just the Personal Console made by different manufactures, and Personal console specific games. Good idea though. personally I own both, and most gamers should, as all the best peripherals will be on the PC, and some of the best story driven games will be on consoles.
Turn 10 did a great job with their sim, they will even tell you how they got it as smooth as they did, they got rid of the small details that most simmers don't pay attention to.
Back to the former, ME2 needs better Eyefinity support with proper scaling, sooner then later.
That would be upscaled of course, not true res. The list of true 1080 games on Xbox is about the size of two fingers.

I have played a ton of console games of course, and yes the experience is better than it was in the Playstation/SNES days, though I still prefer PC for a ton of reasons. Anyway I never said you can't like the game, I said sitting that close to 720p with little AA would make my brain hurt, which is true. I notice every jaggy at 1080p with 4x4 SSAA on.

I'm the exact same way, w/ out AA I feel like I'm playing Lego games. *shakefists* damn you Raster graphics.
I never use AA. I don't think it is needed @ such high resolution anyway being 5760X1200 on pc. Console games don't give you the option to adjust AA because all hardware is the same for console. The same with graphic settings so while it might be on some may think it is not. I rarely play a game that is in need of AA.
Back to console games and esp Forza 3 it is a racing game that is very fast paced. It is hard for me to imagine picking out any jaggies. Look at my screen shots do you see any jaggies didn't think so....
And how does not using AA give you a head ache haha. Maybe it is just the games you are playing. Most of the games that I play AA is not even needed.
I notice jaggies on every platform I play on. They're by far the worst on any console. I think the 360 does anti-aliasing less well than the PS3, too. My major complaint about consoles is the way motion-blur is way over the top to help disguise the aliasing. (Any racing game or FPS...) Case in point: Star Ocean: The Last Hope on the 360 I notice a fair few jagged edges. Star Ocean: The Last Hope: International on the PS3 isn't as bad. Edges seem smoother.
That being said, 2xAA is usually enough on the PC to stop me noticing it while playing - it's only if I'm no longer engrossed in the game that I really notice jaggies on the PC.
What the hell does this PC-Console pissing match have to do with the OT? I consider these forums a resource. If you want to bash consoles or pcs do so in another topic. I personally stay on top of this thread to catch any updates on ME2.
Eh, 'tis the nature of forums to digress. Nevertheless, when there is more info on the original topic of this thread, I'm sure someone will post it. ;)

It is not like the thread is gone. Yes we went off topic for a second but I am sure this thread will be updated with any new info that gets released. Someone mentioned something about console and low res and only supporting one monitor so I corrected them is all. This thread is 7 pages and there were only a few post that were about that so.....BACK ON TOPIC
I didn't mean to start a console vs. PC war, those are so tired and pointless. It really is cool Forza does that, I am impressed. I was only commenting on how close the chair was to the screen and saying with low-res and low-AA console games that has to be a bit of an eyesore, sorry if anyone took offense.
I remember playing Infamous on my PC monitor on PS3 and thinking the game looked like absolute trash, just a blurry and jaggy mess. On a TV from 10 feet away though it looked a lot better, that is how console games are meant to be played.

Play halo odst on a 40 inch + lcd/plasma and tell me AA isnt needed. When you look into the distance it jjust looks like lines crossing over lines, very distracting and unplayable but I am a pc snob when it comes to graphics. Obviously for the average consumer the Wii is good enough.
Thats pretty cool that you can hook up 3 360's and play forza 3 but damn if thats the only title you can play that wouldnt be on my radar at all. But I love Forza 2 love it.. but I havent had time to screw around with Forza 3 yet but imo that series is the best racing experiance.. I love the upgrades and making crazy cars. And I am certainly not a gear head.
I have no interest in playing Halo ODST haha. Yes I am sure there are some games that have issues but so do some pc games. And most PC games have issues implementing proper AA anyway "CRYSIS" not that it is needed but it does not work very well. Dirt 2 good luck running any AA. I don't notice the difference from 0XAA, 2XAA, and 4XAA on Dirt 2 but it sure takes a hit on performance. That is what I mean about not really noticing a difference some games yea but the performance hit I get from using it isn't worth the small change it usually does.
And yea I didn't ever think I would actually play Forza 3 in triple screen but I always thought it was cool you could do it on Forza 2 and new you would be able to do it on Forza 3. Then eyefinity came out and I then had 3 screens so... I already had two 360's one is mine the other was the GF's. So I already had the monitors I just needed one more console so I bought another off craigslist for $100. I already had Forza 3 so bought 2 more copies. It is a very good game for triple screen esp with the built in bezel management something I can't wait for ATI to do.
I have always been a gear head and always loved racing games so it really wasn't that much of an extra cost vs the amount of fun I have with that game. Esp with the Fanatec Turbo S wheel. It really is a very good Sim game, and I would say better then a lot of the pc sims. The amount of cars, upgrades, enviroments, real world tracks, physics, sounds, the game is a no brainier if you are into racing games. If I didn't have a console I would buy one just for that game if you are into racing games and cars.
