Halo 2 VS. Exite Truck



















The other day on NintenDome, there was news about which had the better graphics: Xbox 1 or Wii. What is Wii's secret power? Progressive scan bitches! And you think I am joking? Lets take a look at some pictures. I have been playing Halo 2 (The prettiest game for Xbox) on my Xbox 360 using the high quality goldplatet red, yellow, white cables in 480 interlaced. And Exite Truck (a not so pretty game for Wii) using component cables in 480 progressive. The first big difference is that Wii displays in wide screen. The thing is, that Halo 2 is a lot prettier than Exite Truck ... If you don't move that is! As soon master Cheif starts moving, it starts looking bad, and I swear this is what every single freaking frame looks like, and no I have not done anythig to try and make the pictures look bad, this is what Halo 2 look like on a high-end LCD screen. Freezeframeing the picture revels that its is a blurry mess, and the interlaced picture quality makes lines in places it should not be be. Exite Truck however looks as clear and bright as ever, even when in very high speed. Don't get me wrong, Halo 2 is a seriously pretty game, but on a LCD screen, it's lack of Progressive scan makes it's marks on it. If you have a good ol' standard TV, then Halo 2 is by far the best looking, But I hope you guys can see, why I think that it is a close race on modern TV's. Please tell which looks the best, I have a hard time making up my mind my self, I might add.

(the pictures have not been edited in anyway, and I have just used the TVs own "still" funtion)
