No, he has a valid point. I'm buying Record of Agarest War instead.

Spend your money on Resonance of Fate instead!

Does that mean they also ported the US-PS3 version..from the Xbox 360 version?! :O!!!!!

The game just has low-res ground textures in general.

 

[Y2Kev]

But you would expect a huge company like SE to put as much effort on their flagship franchise on both platforms.

SE sucks. Sorry to disappoint everyone.

Only consistent performer in the company is Nomura, even though it makes the haters stay up at night.

If SE did this I would literally burn their studio to the ground...or just cancel my pre-order.

Now if only he would actually show the public his game...

 

[Dreamgazer]

Sometimes I wish SE has an official forum.
Just so I can troll their business decisions this gen to no end.

That and...MS....stop wasting your money on stupid exclusives...or multiplat...blahhhhh

 

[duckroll]

He did. It's already out. I've played over 80 hours of it!

Erm. Wada is on Twitter. Why don't you add him and troll him to no end about this. I don't think he understands English though, so you might want to use a machine translator to help. Please update us on the results, kthx.

Truth.

 

[Peff]

They don't really look that different...

 

[Septimus]

Now that you stacked them like that, the PS3 version does look quite a bit crisper.

 

[Jet Grind Radio!]

It looks crisper because the 360 version is at a lower resolution.

 

[Dead Prince]

what happened to hope's arm in the 360 shot? :lol 360 couldn't render it?

 

[marathonfool]

They don't really look that different...

They do when you have a nice big HD screen. Lower resolution really sticks out to me. Rachet and Clank was hard to look at.

Yep, it does. Looks like sub-HD is confirmed. I'm staying out of pixel debates from now on :lol

Also, it appears that he fights with a giant toothbrush on the PS3 version.

PS3 has better dental hygiene: Confirmed.

 

[Pooya]

Both versions are begging for Anisotropic Filtering, just look at the ground texture.

360 screens are 1267 × 713, not sure if it matters :/.

 

[MvmntInGrn]

I was under the impression R&C ran at just under 720p, like a vertical resolution of 702 (and not upscaled, but with bars).

More Spanish screens.

 

[Peff]

Some shoots really look off on the 360 though

The enemies and ground look the same but the characters seem to have different lightning. Oh, well.

It's like that in Tools of Destruction, but it doesn't have black bars in A Crack in Time. I've always thought that if it's still rendering at the same resolution but overscanning the image to remove those bars, that's the reason why there were people saying it doesn't look as crisp as ToD.

Actually in this comparison the resolution difference is pretty obvious.

Personally I can't wait to see how DigitalFoundry will spin this in the 360's favor.

 

[Arpharmd B]

576p. You gotta be kidding me. Nice work Square.

At least tell me the damn framerate is identical. That's pretty much the only thing that can save the 360 port at this point.

I said a few days ago I'd buy a PS3 if the 360 port got Bayonetta'd. Well, looks like I may have to gather up a cool 300$ and bite the bullet.

That or hold out for a PC version with really nice IQ. I'd really like to put 300$ towards a sick PC rig. What are the chances of that happening?

 

[Dedication Through Light]

images

The enemies and ground look the same but the characters seem to have different lightning. Oh, well.

Hope's hair looks more detailed on the PS3 one then that X360 one. Though other than, it seems the difference would only be noticed on an up close and personal level. The images still seem to indicate that ground textures are rather bland or stick out weirdly in relation to the character models, imo.


On another note, it seems kind of goofy to have on that menu screen Hope looking extremely serious/sad, while the girl is smiling like its her best day on Earth.

 

[Risette]

Man those transparencies look bad. On both versions. Lightning's hair looks like it was sprayed on with the spraycan from MS Paint.

 

[desu]

Those new 360 screens look far better than the ones from SE. Still looks a bit off on 360.

 

[Misterinenja]

Is this the first multiplat game looking worse on 360?

At this point it just looks like a typical Eurogamer faceoff, except in complete reverse. The last saving grace for this 360 port would be the framerate, screen tearing department. If it can at least hold the same or better frames, then there is hope for this port.

 

[ExtraKr1spy]

There have been better looking PS3 versions of some games but not one with this huge of a gap.

 

[Paracelsus]

Is this the first multiplat game looking worse on 360?

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 doesn't count since it's a remake, so yeah.

 

[Arpharmd B]

Is this the first multiplat game looking worse on 360?

The only other instance I can think of where a PS3 game looked significantly better was Ninja Gaiden 2 (higher resolution, better lighting), but I think that game might have had fewer enemies on screen, more tearing and or lower framerate.

So right now, this could be the first case where PS3 version really outshines it's 360 counterpart on every level.

 

[Y2Kev]

Good lord the 360 shot there looks like SO4

 

[jett]

Is this the first multiplat game looking worse on 360?

Burnout Paradise 360 has framerate issues the PS3 version doesn't have. That's about it, I guess? Not many multiplatform games have the PS3 as the lead console. In the case of FFXIII it's really pretty much a proper PS3 game that's been ported to the 360 late in development.

 

[electroshockwave]

Is this the first multiplat game looking worse on 360?

There's been a few games like Mirror's Edge and Burnout Paradise where I think the PS3 has got the edge. And there's some late releases like Red Alert 3 and Sigma 2 have improved graphics on the PS3.

 

[sam27368]

Just got back from pre-ordering this game at GameStop.

I guess the pre-order "bonus" is supposed to make me want to buy the full guide.

Lol.

LOL at the map on the right hand side "follow the straight path"

 

[Synless]

Wow, I didn't think this would have been a poor port after all that "they are identical" talk. Guess 360 owners lose out this time after all.

 

[Khrno]

It's a shame that SE had to resort to this to fit the game in just 3 discs. Although the question is, did they really do it to not go over 3 discs, or was it too difficult for them to actually do a decent porting job and gave the 3 discs reason as an excuse?

There are a few more....going by what I remember from LensofTruth:
Dragon Age - Origins (but lower framrate)
Batman: AA (although not by much)

 

[adamsapple]

bu bu bu gamespot said the 360 version is more crisper

 

[Kagari]

Developers always throw around terms like 'identical.' They're not going to come out and say 'Hey, one version of our game looks better than the other!'

Well, all they've said about it is that they (first) chose how many discs (i.e. 3), then started the porting. So they worked with the 3 discs size/limitation in mind. They could've done 4..
