DMC4: PS3 Vs. Xbox 360 Comparison Vid

The only difference I noticed was in the ice of the uh...ice creatures. On the PS3 it looks shiny and well "icy", on the 360 for some reason it looks grey and unlit.

Yea looks like the X360 is missing one layer of texture or something. Completely gray.

it looks like the video is lower quality on the ps3, i noticed the sharper 360 version also. But if you look at the ps3 video when they switch back and forth, the text, the map, the numbers, etc are all blotchy, making it look like a poor encode
Rewatching the video, I notice that too. Why would someone make a comparison video and use two different compression qualities? So we got a 360 fanboy over at GT making comparison videos now? Great.

Hmmmm are both systems going to get a demo before it comes out? I would rather decide using that, but it might be PS3 for me since achievements aren't that important and I have played the other 3 with the Dual shock.

Will drop pants for Sony.
Is this game 30fps or 60fps?

I think there will be better comparisons when the demo hits next month. You know what to hell with comparisons, its going to be fracking awesome to play DMC4.

Probably not, then they couldnt force 5 million people to go buy the Dualshock 3:lol
Stop trying to bring sense and reality into this. *back to dreaming*

Dual Shock 3 is a better alternative.
Still some months away since I won't "pay to play" now.

Just like MS handed out free controller S's to people who bought the system with this big lug

Or like when Sony handed out free DualShocks when they added analog sticks to the PS1's controller.

Big difference. The old Xbox controller still had all the features and could play all games with the full experience. With PS1 dual you were forced to buy if you wanted to play certain games. I had to buy one for Ape Escape.
 
So there's no difference between them besides achievements, load times and controller preference. Unless the PS3 version has trophies or something, probably coming out too early for a 3rd party game to have Home integration.

I cant stand the PS3 controller...but I wont knock preference

Well, the game controls were actually designed for the Playstation controller ...

... have fun with those triggers.

CoD4

It's a PlayStation franchise, why would it magically be better on 360 when it's not even designed for the controller?
Since you are making such a big deal about controller. How come you mentioned PS3 as the superior version for COD4. We have to count controller now.:lol

You know, It could just have something to do with being more familiar with one controller then the other. Instead of having adapt a to a new style is all. Even more so with games we have yet to try out even...

Anyways, Away from this fanboy rubbish. I'm really impressed. Capcom seemed to delivered once more. A game looking fantastic on both systems so more users can enjoy the love of which is DMC.

My mistake, I didn't mean the PS3 CoD4 was better. It's equal to the 360 one, if not slightly inferior because of no rumble (though they may add it in an update, and hopefully kb/m too!). I edited my post.

That's cool that they both look vurtually identical. It does, however, make me look at the PS3 and wonder what the benifit of the mighty cell is?

Anyway... Hope this continues.

You might want to look at the games developed solely for the system for that answer.

Although it looks like the 360 version has a tad bit higher contrast (not judged by this pic).

The entire video = bitstarved. Look at the compression on Dante's insignia, and right behind him. Huge macroblocks. My guess is they've recompressed these a lot, making a comparison useless. Wait for a proper comparison from Gamersyde :p When the demo's hit I'll do one like I did for Burnout.

The problems Brian mentioned on the 1up show were framerate and tearing related. It's still a ways off so I'd imagine they could get that ironed out in time for the 360 crowd.

The difference is pretty much negligible between the two versions.

I've always thought that the Gametrailers comparison videos were useless for the most part, as I can rarely tell the difference between the two versions.

I wonder if the DMC4 commercials will have a Playstation 3 or xbox 360 flash at the end or both or none at all.
 
People are just making up differences now....they are identical. Thats a GOOD thing; you get to choose based on controller preference rather than based on inferior porting. Go Capcom.

Hopefully the ps3 gets less tearing, better AA, more complex shaders, and better frame rate for all future games.

That'd make ma day.

The version has far sharper textures, better AA, and much more complex shaders.

You cant tell anything like that from this video. Its bit starved to hell. from moment to moment different textures look better, worse, or the same than the other version. Its practically useless.

About the only thing I can notice from this video is the Ice monsters seem to have a shader being applied on the PS3 version, and not on the 360. But even then it could just be that the caps were taken while they weren't glowing on the 360?

Anyone know what the lead platform was?

Except for the Ice. And obviously, the quality of ice-rendering in games is the most important factor in deciding which port you people should buy!

The only difference I can spot is that the Xbox 360 textures look a little bit sharper.

Regardless both versions look good.

I could've swore PC was the lead platform and PS3/360 versions came from that. Something about PC lead led to easier multiplatform development with their current engine iirc.
