Resident Evil 5 - Xbox 360 vs. PS3

-->> PS3 Version shots shown first, then Xbox 360's. <<---

Full Size Captures:

It seems that the AA applied on the PS3 version doesn't favor the game in this case (unlike GTA IV) Aside from that, it seems that there's much more facial detail in the Xbox 360 version. The clearest example is in the picture of the guy with the megaphone.

Oh great, I was up all night, tossing and turning, scratching all over, waiting for this.

Dot already did this. Do we need a dedicated fanboy banter fest?

Looks exactly the same to me...

PS3 IS 360! 360 IS PS3!

I don't see a damn difference.

Beysus · (02-03-2009, 01:35 PM)

X360 version looks a bit sharper.

I only played the Ps3 version. The game looks amazing.

If the existance of this thread keeps this crap out of the coming RE5 official thread I'm for it. The DMC4 thread was unbearable for several days when the demos launched, I;d rather not have to avoid the official thread for several days.

SpokkX · (02-03-2009, 01:36 PM)

Seems like a clear win for 360 imo, especially since the ps3 version also suffers from framerate problems

$1148 Jack · (02-03-2009, 01:37 PM)

You just posted two shots from the same machine to get a reaction didn't you? .........?

Aquanox · 02:41 PM

I believe this is the most dramatic difference:

PS3:

Xbox 360:

(Open both in separated tabs in explorer and then switch from one to the other)

Much more detail, sharper textures... I'd say better lightning too.

WickedLaharl · (02-03-2009, 01:37 PM)

aside from some aliasing i think the ps3 version looks fine. it's the framerate that is an issue

Truant · (02-03-2009, 01:37 PM)

Typical multiplatform stuff.

Softer image on the PS3. Detail and textures are probably the same, although the image rendering is most likely fooling someone into thinking the textures are worse.

BradleyUK · (02-03-2009, 01:38 PM)

They look identical!

Tenbatsu · (02-03-2009, 01:39 PM)

Dam the PS3 demo hung my console!!

Cruzader · (02-03-2009, 01:39 PM)

PS3 has better contrast. Good for a creepy game, no?

Angelus Errare · (02-03-2009, 01:40 PM)

You guys do know the PS3 build is older than the 360 build, and that both builds are a year old right?

I don't get the point of this thread, or any graphics comparison threads unless there is an actual difference viewable.

People want to justify their purchases to themselves. Classic consumer behaviour.

Crye · (02-03-2009, 01:42 PM)

The difference you see is the difference you want to see.

mjc · (02-03-2009, 01:42 PM)

Both look fantastic to me.

RSTEIN · (02-03-2009, 01:42 PM)

Look virtually identical, with the 360 having tad sharper textures. Is the framerate the same on both? That's all that really matters when they look so similar.

∀ Narayan · (02-03-2009, 01:42 PM)

Both of them look very good.

Relax ,it's just quincunx versus normal AA.Absolutly nothing more

B E N K E · (02-03-2009, 01:43 PM)

Looks about the same to me... sucks to be the guy at Eurogamer who has to play through, record and find the exact same shot for the comparison. He's doing a great job... but he's just feeding the idiotic fan boy banter and he must know it... and it's eating away at his soul. Or something. :lol

borghe · (02-03-2009, 01:44 PM)

in this case I actually like the softer look on the game.. it gives it a more cinematic feel.. definitely see the sharper images on the 360, but it really doesn't matter. almost looks more stylistically limited than one that doesn't look as powerful as the other type thing..

who knows. but I'm still grabbing it for the PS3.

LiK · (02-03-2009, 01:44 PM)

360 version looks sharper but this is usually the case whenever i see PS3 vs 360 screens for these multiplatform titles. i'm not sure why that is.

Francias Castiglione · (02-03-2009, 01:45 PM)

Waste of time and effort, people will just proclaim they prefer the way their preferred console renders the game (even if it looks identical).

Wowsers that's a very big difference.

Has the PS3 one been messed with?

Acosta · (02-03-2009, 01:50 PM)

Going to be a fun a thread in some hours.

Before the crazy people come, yes, looks like the classical rendering difference between both, with 360 offering a crisper image. As far as there is no differences with framerates or resolutions, is not a big deal.

And for the ones saying is a waste of time.. it´s not, I see your point and I'm agree but Eurogamer want the hits and this offers a lot of that. Blame the gamer, not the medium who offer what they want.

Mr. Pointy · 01:56 PM

I've got both the RE5 demos, and they look pretty nice.

The 360 version has got sharper image quality, but that's because it's running basic 2x AA. The PS3 version is using 2x Quincunx AA, which is like having 4xAA for half the resources, but it blurs everything noticeably because of the way Quincunx AA samples each pixel. The texture quality on both games is exactly the same.

The 360 version has a noticeable green tint to everything, whereas the PS3 version has a more balanced contrast. As far as glitches, the 360 version has tearing during quick camera movements (cutscenes, etc.) and the PS3 one, very rarely, has slowdown when you get mobbed by zombies.

There's a UFO in the background of the 360 shot

Lord Phol · (02-03-2009, 01:51 PM)

Why is the PS3 version more blurry than the 360?
It's not much but it's noticeable, don't see any reason why they shouldn't be identical graphically.

Dot50Cal · (02-03-2009, 01:51 PM)

OP, did you take these with component?

Quinix AA.

obaidr · (02-03-2009, 01:52 PM)

PS3 looks more blury. I played it on a 51" with a distance about 3 meter. It looked good. It was not mind blowing but it was ok. Only negative point i noticed were the shadows on Chris body, the flickered.

Yeah. 360 version lacks light reflection on the glasses.

Kidding aside, problem is frame rate not texture/geometry.

Yes, I know, its in the OP. It doesn't say what he took it with. If it was component and you combine that with Quinix AA, it would show a hell of a lot more blur than what you'd get with HDMI. PS3's analog out is horrible.

Blur rendering.

3rdman · (02-03-2009, 01:57 PM)

360 is clearly sharper...was there a difference in resolution as well?

Both are 720p native.

I'm running the 360 through VGA and the PS3 through HDMI and the 360 is still a lot sharper looking.

The QAA really blurs the crap out of everything.

Laurent · (02-03-2009, 01:59 PM)

The difference between both of them isn't serious enough to justify this analysis IMO...

GarthVaderUK · (02-03-2009, 01:59 PM)

The amount of blur on the PS3 version makes the textures look less detailed to me, even if they're not.
