360 = 1,280 x 720 native res with 2XAAHari Seldon said:Can someone give me a summary of the proven differences (or update the OP).
We've demonstrated conclusively that the Xbox 360 version of Red Dead Redemption possesses higher resolution, improved levels of detail, noticeably superior performance in-game and fewer jaggies owing to a more consistently applied anti-aliasing solution that doesn't blur the image. Shadows are generally sharper, and of better quality (particularly on the characters' self-shadows).
Just about the only area where PS3 commands an advantage is in terms of loading: the 515MB mandatory install shaves off a few seconds, but as the only in-game loading occurs during fast-travel between locations (using the campsite), it's hardly worth mentioning. Certainly the install doesn't grant any kind of tangible performance boost in terms of less LOD-popping or anything like that.
However, none of this is to say that Red Dead Redemption is not a good game in its own right on PlayStation 3. Play on PS3 without having seen the 360 version and it's difficult to imagine that the fun factor of the game has been massively impacted. And if Rockstar had decided to deliberately dial back 360 to make the game look and feel identical to the PS3 version, it's hard to imagine that the enviable scores it has attracted would be any different.
In short, Rockstar is to be commended on what is an absolutely fantastic game on both platforms, but the technical analysis is pretty conclusive: if you've got the choice of buying the game for either console, Xbox 360 is the version of Red Dead you should buy.
conman said:Despite what others say, it isn't comparable to the slight differences between the PS3 and 360 versions of GTAIV. I actually preferred the glossier, fuzzier look of that game on PS3 and noticed no substantial framerate issues. But the same doesn't hold true of RDRedemption.
Of course, I also had a hard time with Assassin's Creed 2 on PS3, so maybe I'm just over sensitive.Hellion said:FFFFUUUU
Depends on your tolerance for the peculiarities of the PS3 version. Some folks think it's a "travesty," most think it's perfectly fine. Take your pick.leng jai said:My cousin just bought the PS3 version and said it looks as bad as MAG. Now I only have the 360 version of the game (going to get the PS3 version for online later), but surely that is hyperbolic bullshit?
2real4tv said:My thoughts also looks quite horrible imo compared to the 360 version. Not looking forward to Agent.

I'm not sure how good a reflection of actual play that DF video is, though. The places I felt the dips the most were in any fast camera movements in inhabited locations. Didn't see the DF framerate tests doing much (if any) of that.Death Dealer said:Doesn't make sense to me to give GTA4's performance a pass, and then complain about RDR's frame rate. The FPS dips in RDR, but it's less noticeable to me than GTA4. It feels more optimized, at worst the performance is the same, no way it's worse than GTA4. I think the lowest fps dip in the PS3 DF video was 20 ? Mostly staying between 25-30 ?
"getting ps3 version no matter what" type posts never get old. Kind of like in the Bayonetta thread. :lolStuBurns said:Just watched the multiplayer.it video, PS3 version looks good enough for me. So I'm buying it, and out of the thread, I hope the bloodshed is lovely and high res in here. Enjoy yourselves.
definitely worth getting. . . over the 360 version? Because comparison sites are, I assume, to assess where best to spend your money on for those. . . both consoles. . . ah never mind.Snuggler said:...but even if the PS3 version has a few issues with the visuals, I think it's more than worth playing. People blow this kind of stuff way out of proportion, even if it lacks the sharpness or whatever of the 360 version, if it plays anywhere near the same it's most definitely worth getting. . .
Do you have a Samsung TV?Snuggler said:So which version is better?
I noticed that my 360 version was brown-ish looking but then I realized that my telie was set to "cinema" mode which made it look all weird.
Add that to the OP.

1 minute 8 seconds in.... replace question with this topic, and keep the same answer. (it'll make sense when you see it).
but really, i bought it for ps3 only for the fact most my friends in gaf, and day to day life are on there.
Dabanton said:You know about 20 people got banned for saying the same thing in this topic.
Their are obviously people who do "give a fuck" about differences and this is a thread where multi console owners can discuss them without clogging up the official thread.
If you don't care then just leave them to it.
conman said:Just to toss a small bit of added fuel to the fire:
I picked up the PS3 version because my local game shop was out of stock of the 360 one. Figured it wouldn't matter much. Got it home. Played for a few hours. Framerate issues galore. Tearing, fewer objects, and low texture res I can tolerate, but I'm not really okay with the frequent framerate dips. Sold it and picked up 360 version.

Well, look, I'm someone who's posting that I "couldn't stand" the PS3 version, but even I'll admit that I'm being hyperbolic. For me and my tastes, it bugs the crap out of me. But for most people, I doubt they'd even notice or care.mattiewheels said:This stuff makes me wonder why they even had a separate team just to work on the PS3 version. The differences in the versions make it sound like it wasn't very advantageous in the end.
So what's the PS3's shortcoming here, does it have a comparatively weak GPU or video ram or something? Very frustrating that there can't be an optimal version of the game on the only system I own.
The PS3's GPU is less advanced (for when it was designed) than the 360's. Now, this deficit can more than be made up for by clever programming and use of Cell to offload work in the PS3, so the very best PS3 games can look just as good--or, some would say, better--than the very best 360 games.mattiewheels said:So what's the PS3's shortcoming here, does it have a comparatively weak GPU or video ram or something?

conman said:Regardless, even I wouldn't go so far as to start bashing the development team.
That sounds about right, but you'd figure that's why they had a separate PS3 team, because possibly they had people who really knew their way around Cell processing.Liabe Brave said:The PS3's GPU is less advanced (for when it was designed) than the 360's.

However, most developers making multiplatform games don't want or can't afford to specialize that much for the hardware's quirks, so the PS3 version suffers. Only for the rare developers who work first and/or hardest on PS3 does the disadvantage sometimes disappear (like with FF XIII, or to a lesser extent Dante's Inferno or Burnout Paradise).
Not at all. I'd put in on par with AC2. They're very small differences that only folks with a "sensitive disposition" would care about.Spike said:So, is the differences between the 2 versions anything like the differences between the Ghostbusters game?
