Why my PS3 looks so bad?
Hello.

Recently, my pc died so I bought a ps3 cause it was cheap and bought some games and they look terrible at 1080p or 720p.

- Heavy Rain (not like trailer)
-Red Dead Redemption (horrible)
-Final Fantasy X - X-2 (nice)
-Ghost Recon Future Soldiers (horrible)
-Metal Gear Solid 4 (too blurry)
-Silent Hills Remastered HD (ok)
-Shift 2 (horrible)
-Metal Gear HD collection (perfect)

Dead Redemption and Ghost Recon are the worst looking. Looks like 0 Antialiasing and textures to low. In trailers and youtube (other people playing) games looks better and ok. Ghost Recon looks awesome in youtube HD (ps3) and in my ps3 looks really bad. HD remasters looks really good. Like Silent Hill or Final Fantasy. But PS3 natives doesn't.

There's any type of configuration to make this looks better?

My tv is the same I used with my PC at 1080p. Sony Bravia 32"
-GTX 960
-FX8350 4.0ghz that's all...

I have Shift on Steam and looks 100 times better than Shift 2 on ps3.

Am I missing something on console's settings? I tried lowering the ps3 max resolution and some hdmi settings and tv settings but still bad.

Thanks.

Did you setup the resolution correctly?

Yeah. The system detects the maximum 1080p of my tv.

You want to double check the video settings just in case.

From the XMB

Settings -> Display Settings.

I have heard , but don't take my word on it , that if you have a first gen ps3 (the fat one) your graphics are worse than the newest one , the superslim , i've noticed such a change when i played fifa 14 or whatever on the fat one and it was horrible and then i played on the superslim one and it was noticeably better , but that happened a long time ago and since moved on the PC masterrace so take it with a grain of salt.

I'm not experiencing that on mine (3rd Generation - CECHHxx (fat)).

Despite your F all level of context.

A quick google shows that some HDMI cables (likely older versions) can give poor video quality.

So you might want to try a different HDMI cable.

I think you've become very nitpicky about graphics.

I think the games still look great.
