I actually wish this game were coming to 360 too. It looks good on Wii, but I'd like to see how it would look using 360's power. I want the game to look as close to real-life as possible. Happy

Perhaps they'll make a Natal version next year. I don't even like Natal (yet), but that certainly would grab my attention. 

 The PS3 one actaully looks worse to me. It's sharper and all, but the animation is less realistic form the videos i've seen.

 Which is why Endless Ocean 2 should go to Xbox 360; 360 > PS3. Nyaa

 Rage runs at 60fps on 360, but only 20-30fps on teh Cell. 'Nuff said. Nyaa

Aquanaughts' Holiday (PS3) Ocean Exploration now in English  

There is what it would look like.

Looks worse to me as well for only one reason. The sharpness and mapping. The softer look of SD makes everything seem more naturalistic. When you see normal mapped rocks and bumpmapping on underwater animals it looks incredibly unrealistic. It just looks plastic like.

Look at the squid from Aquanaughts for example:


Or this thing:


And then look at Endless Ocean:

Also you can't forget that Endless Ocean has a focus mode which brings up any surface in the game in HD like detail and animation.

After watching the Aquanaughts trailer again:

It does look very good but not that much over and above EO to make EO look like some poor cousin.

LOL strangely the sea actually helps limit the difference. Draw distance and murky water or misting gives the game similar sized environments. You cannot for a second fault the animation in Endless Ocean so there is no difference there. What you get it more details, a few more reflections a few more fish (which EO2 is rectifying).

And the focus more in EO compensates when you can hit the + button and see every surface in this kind of detail:

And even the normal game just running looks as detailed as this:

Go up to the ground and look at the detail on the surface:

LOL I'm making exactly the same posts as I made nearly 2 years ago in the EO thread on GSpot.

All I was saying by my 360 comment, is that I want EO 2 to look like Discovery Channel documentaries (i.e. as realistic as possible).

I don't think is possible yet, even on a Crysis playing PC.

Yeah but as you can see by the PS3 Aquanaughts, you really aren't getting substantial gains from it being on a more powerful system. It's still far off this:

 You are comparing a PS3 game to a Wii game! Of course they won't look far off!

Make EO on Xbox 360, and you'll see graphical wonders you haven't even contemplated!
