Ever since E3 2005, the internet has been beset by Microsoft, Sony, and yes, even Nintendo fanboys arguing the
graphical capabilities of their respective next-gen coffin. Of course, without any verifiable evidence one way or the
other, who's to say which argument is right? At last, IGN gives average Joe Gamer the opportunity to judge the
graphical superiority of two next-gen consoles for himself. They've posted two direct-feed trailers of the upcoming
Armored Core 4, one rendered on the Xbox 360, the other, PlayStation 3.
Now for the hard part: the truth of the matter is, neither trailer is immediately discernible as superior to the other. Barring adequate precautions, we assume that fanboys will be fanboys and argue that their favorite platform blows the other one out of the water, without presumambly having watched either trailer. Thus, we're tasking our readers with taking The Joystiq Challenge (which is in no way affiliated with nor inspired by The Pepsi Challenge). One of these videos can be found right here, and the other one's right here. Check them both out, make an informed decision, and then tell us which is more impressive in the poll below. More importantly, is there enough of a difference between the two to sway the casual gamer, and are the graphics representative of what you'd expect from a next-generation game? Let us know!
