Watch at the Jacob comparison. The ME3 engine is a lot sharper.

Ah, finally there's a reason to own me3. But better graphics doesn't really take priority over better gameplay. :/ Without ME1 it's pointless.

Exactly. They are missing out on the best of the series (unless ME3 beats it)

If this is any indication of what ME3 will look like, I'm actually quite disappointed. The graphics were not improved that much and you can't even tell the difference between the PS3 and XBOX 360 during combat

It looks brighter, but I don't see a significant improvement.

I think IGN had the film grain turned on for the XBOX 360 version. Personally I think it looks better with the film grain off.

I don't really know the specifics of it but its an option in Mass Effect 2 to change the visual look of it slightly. I turned it off when i played ME2.

Yeah, same. I just found out about it like a week ago. I turned it off and it looks cleaner and more crisp visually.

I wouldn't say that the Ps3 version of ME2 will look like ME3.. You have to remember that this game is ported over to a new engine, whereas ME3 will be built on this engine from the ground up.

Well i watched an interview with the project lead of ME2 and he said that they have been working on the PS3 version for over a year. So this means that they have been simultaneously building the PS3 version of ME2 and the engine of ME3. So i think that the PS3 version is an indication of the visuals of ME3, its just disappointing that most likely ME3 will be gimped cause of a PS3 port.

All of this is a marketing ploy people. Bioware wants the PS3 version to sell.
Bioware has been recently making many claims...including that Mass Effect 2 on PS3 was the "definitive version".
There IS NOT A MASS EFFECT 3 ENGINE. All of it runs on Unreal Engine 3, even Mass Effect 3. There are updates to the engine but even then most of the updates are performance related..
The IGN video was a bit misleading, and intentionally as well. I don't know about yall but on my 360 version I can defininetly see Jacob's face. It looks as if they turned down the brightness 3 notches for their "comparison." I'll hold off any comments until a LoT or Digital Foundry comparison though. Even then, going by what I saw....It didn't look drastically different, if better at all.
Mass Effect 2 on PS3 can't be the definitive version, when the game has been molded around the idea of Mass Effect 1 decisions affecting the story as you go.
If you only have a PS3 get it on PS3. If you have both a 360 and a PS3, it's pretty obvious by now which version you should get.

Of course. Bioware has to say the PS3 version is the best to they advertise their game. But the sad thing is that PS3 version won't sell well. the 360/PC version sold alright and the people left is a very small number
