Didn't know that but it's pretty obvious in the last two images posted on the last page. Look at the back of the main character.

Um...news flash buddy tearing is clearly a good thing now, it adds that je ne sais quoi many current gen games are missing. Just like "Cinematic Framerate" and Vaseline screen blur.
These threads impair my enjoyment of a game on the one hand, but on the other hand, it's like a game in and of itself. I also like to think that I'll be playing the lesser version on my kickass plasma TV, while someone from NeoGAF will be playing the superior version on their 20in CRT. It's the only thing that keeps me from having a nervous breakdown.
In all seriousness, I think Microsoft and Sony were brilliant to implement a reward system like trophies and achievements. I am so invested in PS3 trophies that even if I did own a 360, there's no way I'd pick it up for anything other than the PS3 unless it was an inferior product (not just marginally worse, mind you).
It has also occurred to me that trophies are probably a huge waste of time. Not the place to ask it, but does anyone know if trophies/achievements are tied to an account, or do they go away when your system dies or you get a new one?

The power of Cell.
:O
Is there suppose to be a difference in these screens? Please nitpick the shit out of it so I can find it.

Damn, so much more detail on the 360 cap. For those who are more tech savvy than I, why is this the case with virtually 99% of the multiplatform titles? The 360 version always has greater image fidelity, texture "detail" and "sharpness." What is the technical term here? And not only is the image quality of a higher quality, the games even run faster too, which is pretty impressive.
I've played the shit out of the PS3 demo that people here would have you think is full of framerate drops and I've seen it dip once, maybe twice, for all of a splitsecond, and I still retained perfect control.
By and large the consensus among reviewers is the games look virtually identical, as anyone can see from the motorcycle pics above. In motion you'd be hard-pressed to find a difference in detail. The PS3 just has stronger temperature warmth (which is good imo, as it's more realistic).
People can pick the 360 version to avoid the occasional splitsecond framerate dip, but others may prefer the free online and superior controller of the PS3 version. Diff'rent strokes.
Oh, and thanks a lot to whoever posted the Killzone 2 gifs. I'm THIS CLOSE to spending $120 instead of $60 this Friday when I go to pick up RE5. Reason being, that Killzone 2 demo is hella addictive (and yes, graphically superior to RE5 but hey, they're different games so what's the point?).

Just better post-processing and shader effects. It's likely due to Capcom putting more emphasis into the 360 version. DMC4 ran on the same engine and ran/looked slightly better on the PS3 version from what I recall.

I'm no tech savvy, but from what I've read, it seems that the Xbox 360 is better to handle texture detail (due to more flexible memory and smaller OS) better for MSAA (probably processed in the EdRAM) where the PS3 uses an AA method "Quincunx" that blurs the whole image resulting in a less detailed image.
In KZ2, Guerrilla seems to have used the Cell extensively to save for these disadvantages by adding a crap load of particle effects, physics and lighting.
For a game like RE5 however, (probably as good looking as KZ2) the Xbox 360 hardware seems to be much more suitable.
Neiteio said:
The "Superior Controler" only applies to games that use the D-pad extensively (which is crap in the Xbox 360) like SFIV or PES, but for this one, it's barely used for changing weapons and the analog in the 360 is great for shooting. In loaded scenery, Eurogamer says there's some trouble with controlling your character due to framerate drops in the PS3 version.

That pic with the water really emphasizes the blurriness of the PS3 version. Look at the machete, Chris' muscle, etc.
Valkyr Junkie said:
The detail deficit existed on the PS3 version of DMC 4, though. Pretty much the same situation you have here, but the PS3 version of DMC 4 ran at a good clip, generally faster than the 360 version apparently. Detail had to be sacrificed to make this happen, however.
burgerdog said:
yeah as someone already pointed out it's the same issue as in SFIV, weird and interesting at the same time... engine? coders? hardware? budget shouldn't be an issue for the first HD Resident Evil.
the framerate is terrible in the PS3 version, can't keep steady 30fps even for a couple of seconds...
JB1981 said:
What's even more amazing is they've optimized the engine enough to get 4xAA with these quality graphics. Pretty insane.
Valkyr Junkie said:
DMC4 was initially a PS3 exclusive and was ported to the 360 in the later stages of development and even then there were pros and cons to each version (more detail in the 360 version). Not really a good example. RE5 was made for both systems from the get go.

I bought both versions.
I agree that the 360 version has the edge in picture quality and framerate...
...but what's with the frickin' screen tearing?
That's way more annoying than a frame dip here or there.
I'm hoping that on completion of the game, one of the unlockable filters will be "V-Sync".

The PS3 version will look better once you have it installed on the PS3's HDD. The graphics will improve.
I'm being serial here, super serial

Oh my god dude. The screen-caps were taken at different moments. You can tell from the background positioning.
What's really bad in that pic is the amount of aliasing on the gun on the PS3 version. Needs more vaseline.

This, Missing effects is a no no. quincinx is a non issue for me, i used it extensively on my pc games in the past, and this is one of the biggest games of the year...

I thought you were making fun of the cell at first but then I noticed it too. Actually the PS3 version seems to be a bit tad ahead. Look at the bush with the compass. But that probably wouldn't warrant 2 extra guys while the other one has none that you can see on the screen. I wonder if the PS3 version has more enemies than the 360 throughout the whole game or if that screen is just a bad comparison. Remember, RE4 on GC had more enemies than the PS2. Anyone want to do a mobcount for both versions?
In some pictures, they seem to have equal amount of jaggies. The 360 does look sharper and PS3 looks a bit blurry. I turn my sharpness up so I didn't notice much blurry on the PS3's demo.
Oh and screen tearing is bad ok. Devs need to turn v-sync on, it's annoying. I'm looking at you Uncharted and NGSigma.

not sure about 360 being better with textures..considering Uncharted 2 will probably have the best textures of any game when it is released...

See, i can deal with the way the game performs with a single player or online. As you said, it really isn't that much of a real issue. However, local splitscreen is very important, and the PS3 version just goes to shit in that department. Goddamn shame. If my 360 wasnt busted i'd be buying it day one.
