Xbox 360 vs. PS3 Face-Off: Round 16

:lol the ps3 version does not look that bad. I played the demo on PS3 and full version on 360 and they're pretty much the same.
 
It's quite amazing that it took this article to convince people that the PS3 version of ME is a "whole step down" from the 360 one when the consenses for the weeks it's been out, is that they're the same save for slightly more jaggies.

Despite the near-identical demos and positive reactions for both versions in the official thread.

I totally agree, just look at what kind of stupid posts it brings up.
You have to understand that reading these threads and then seeing a game like KZ2 (which pretty much destroys anything on consoles) is an easy way to say, so what? If the games play the same enjoy life.
 
Ariexv said:
A shame all evidence points to that if KZ2 was done on the 360 it would be superior to the Ps3 version.




Don't hurt me :P

Time for me to split... im not gonna get caught up in this derailed thread like a sucker :lol
 
shadowsdarknes said:
Quite the opposite actually.
Well despite the fact that it was a completely joke response to his idiotic post.... every Multi-platform game has been better on 360 so it stands to reason that if KZ2 was MP it would be better on 360 =P








Before the mass posts w/ SSs of Uncharted and KZ2 and angry Ps3 bots show up to tear my head off.....IT'S A JOKE

Yeah, apparently it wasn't for him.

(which pretty much destroys anything on consoles)
Also, I'm curious how the Killzone 2 official thread title will sound like since apparently the game first destroys everything, then takes a dump on the leftovers. ;)
I'm sorry, but I probably had to read about a 1000 times today how killzone 2 shits on and destroys everything

You like to push your like, dont you? ;)

I haven't seen a single thing of the PS3 version since I only own a 360 now and I played through the game on 360. I just thought the pictures they took were quite remarkable.

So I remarked.

I dunno about the validity of those screenshots, but the differences are certainly striking, wouldn't you agree?
 
Whoa, at the first comparison shot. At least they could've waited until the everything has been properly loaded. Anyway, here are my comparison shots. I think the 360 version looks a bit better due to some AA. As for which version has better lighting, I thought both looked pretty good.

exactly ...how the hell do you screengrab something where the textures haven't even loaded in yet and call that a comparison?
 
Look at all those jaggies in the........ 360 version?

The fact that both versions have so much jagged edges going on is why this is one of the few games I'm rebuying on PC.

That and the Phys-X effects. :)

#1, I didn't realize killzone was a multiplatform title, and thus your post was relevant.

#2, After listening to 1up yours, that clip seems a little less impressive from their descriptions. Namely the destructible environments aren't dynamically destructible, meaning you'll see that same effect no matter what (if I heard 1up yours correctly that is).

Hhahahaha understand your point. Now off ot the can to relieve myself
no thank to you :P

Are you now sporting a PS3-game avatar, hoping people won't see through your fanboyism? :lol Jesus christ dude you can't let it go.
 
Becky said:
Killzone fanboys are annoying as fuck.
Fans of a game, yes. Sorry if me saying it craps on almot any game hurt you. Besides the thread is not about KZ2. If you weren't this upset you wouldn't needlessly curse.

It's Beijing Olympics...
They just ported the game, and that's it. The way the 360 outputs visuals, there's almost an automatic 2xAA cleanup on jaggies.

Want beautiful clean lines, look towards Uncharted or Ratchet and Clank or KZ2 or pretty much games built on the PS3.

It's just the nature of the multiplat UE3 engine.


Keep in mind that Bishiuk's trolling.

I'm sporting a Ratchet and Clank avatar because I like Ratchet and clank..... also atleast read posts before responding because I WAS OBVIOUSLY JOKING. My god KZ2 fanboys are worse then Uncharted fanboys, how they pop up in any and all 360 vs Ps3 threads is almost as hilarious as the ones trying to claim KZ2 beats even Crysis in graphics.

No it's dynamic in the sense that the stuff that *can* come off will fall off independently of each other when shot at / exploding. But it's only happening where the devs put it to be destroyed, not everywhere (much like Gears 2, only more often and better looking).
 
drohne said:
huh -- comparing the battlefield bc demos, ps3 seemed to tear more often. maybe it's different in the final versions, maybe my perception was just off

It seems like they both suffer from pretty much the same issue (no v-lock). The only reason they went with UE3 in the first place was due to the Frostbite engine being behind and they didn't want to have to wait to really get moving on ME. So moving to Frostbite for the sequel makes sense.

So, if that grenade was placed differently, the pieces would fly off in a different direction? That's kind of what I think of as dynamic. Anything else just reminds me of breaking the glass and blowing up the computers in Goldeneye back in the day (it was fun to do, but not that impressive of an effect).

Seems to be the case from videos I've seen.

Yeah, obviously joking considering your last 3916912769217692 posts on this forum are clearly never putting the PS3 in any good light whatsoever. And nice going there, you clearly put 1 and 1 together when you implied I'm a KZ2 and/or Uncharted fanboy, did I even mention those games here?

Once again, :lol . You clearly have an agenda.

Yes. It seems like they respond to some sort of kinetic effect from the explosion from I saw running and the videos I've seen.
 
I hate the fact that some fanboys can't keep it in their pants when it comes to this topic. These articles are interesting and legitimate, and usually they conclude that there's little graphical difference in multi-platform games.
 
wtf is up with those Mirror's Edge comparison shots? the PS3 game doesn't look like that at all. The 360 game does look better because of less aliasing, but no way does it look like that. Do they compare review builds or something?

The spoiler tag wasn't enough for you? Or how about the second post that says twice that i was joking? Also the KZ2/Uncharted comment was more towards the other posters then yourself but w/e. As for never putting the Ps3 in any good light....

Ratchet and Clank=fucking awesome
Valkyrie Chronicles=Fucking Awesome
Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm=Fucking Awesome

First comparison shot shows a UE3 loading problem on the PS3, nothing to do with the platform (maybe slower BD drive?) that's for sure. But the second one certainly shows a discrepancy in term of lighting. I'll really have to record my own footage of both demos to see if I get the same result, it blows my mind that I didn't notice this myself.

Blim, I really think you should. Those screen shots are horrible. Having played both demos about 20x each, my personal preference is the PS3 version (even with the jaggies). For me it comes down to controls + color.
 
These comparison shots are a complete farce.

Eurogamer have really done it this time, haven't they?

PS3 shots look NOTHING like that. The 360/PS3 demos look 99% the same bar some AA.

Sorry, musta missed where I said I was 100% unbiased completely neutral.... was just pointing out that there is some things I like about the Ps3 as well, really though the argument was that I wasn't joking... when I clearly was and said as much in my posts. Heck I don't even own either system(I own a Wii and a PC lol).
 
MYYHearse was just predicting the future of the thread, it inevitably ends with how great KZ2 is and how much better looking than Crysis it is.

I don't think he was invoking the KZ2 - but i see at least 3 posters actually high fiving and "/thread"íng :lol

i guess now the defense protocol involves :

+ secret game
+ god of war
+ how bad Gears 2 looks

Sony fans, be sure to tell as many as your friends as you can before black friday please.

but yeah, these threads are becoming pointless, i'm also not sure why Eurogamer bother. This is round 16, i think everyone gets the message that there are minor differences in the X360's favour. The only real message is the differences are getting more and more tiny.

So just lock it up - only one post required in the thread - the score, and then we can all stop dancing the same dance each week.

The Barrellama is in teh thread, you have any questions about Uncharted?

I don't ever remember Mirror's edge looking that bad on the PS3.

drohne said:
textures clearly haven't loaded yet in the ps3 shot. i almost hate to point this out, as it's just going to give butthurt ps3 fans another pretext to rail on eurogamer's highly informative comparisons

And ^that^ is why, Eurogamer is lame.
 
seat said:

But it's far from worded like that: to quote Eurogamer " once again the 360 version of such and such shows how magnificently beautiful a game can be with 2% less jagies then the absolutely ugly unplayable PS3 version, which should just end it's stinking life right now."

or

"The ps3 version of such and such is actually competent but lets move on to this next game that absolutely sucks on ps3 and shows how incompetent the ps3 really is."
 
Is comparing the demos really a good idea here? Surely one of you must have access to the full game on both platforms just like EG does?

I know Gamersyde has been known to dabble in the world of comparison images. :D

What have Eurogamer done wrong there? The comparison screenshots look fine to me.

It doesn`t hurt just annoying like I said. Needlessly curse? Did I offend your virgin ears?

Also, you are right it does crap on almost every game.

my god looking over the past couple years....

2006-Gears 1 comes out destroys everything graphically: Didn't really see any constant pic posting
2007-Uncharted is king of graphics:50%+ of all threads on Neogaf contain pics of Uncharted
2008-Gears 2 and Banjo dominate the graphics this time around:Again You don't see people going around posting Gears 2/Banjo screenshots in every thread do you?
2009-KZ2 comes out:We've been getting constant screenshots of this for several months now.....


Do Ps3 fans really need to try and prove that their $600 was well spent this badly? Or do you all actually still believe Sonys utter bullshit about 4D/1080p/60FPS from before the Ps3 released?

Luckily I still have the footage I recorded from both demos, so it was quick to get 2 comparison shots:

Let's just say that our relationship with EA might not be as good as Eurogamer's, and leave it at that :/
