Dan	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Err, just a contrast thing here. Need to see it moving to do a proper comparison. Any old nob can take screen shots and whack the mid range up - to make them look a bit crap. Doesn't look any better or worse just a touch brighter on PS3. Simply looks better??? This is utter c*ap.

JFree	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post I don't think you can compare color and contrast here because as it has been said, the two games were ported be two different developers. That being said, the 360 seems to have better detail, the PS3 better lighting and shading. Reply

yoomamma	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post I think the plublisher of this article want the PS3 to look better, Did the TV sets had the same settings? I can do the same effect in my TV with any game and make it look better either way. I like the PS3 better because of the way it plays, but I have palyed both and in the xBox it does not look like that. Just add a litthe brightness to the TV and then we'll talk. Reply

NAMELESS	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Are all you idiots who say the ps3 version is better dumb? The people who made the game made all the effects to give it the properlook. PS3 dumbs down those effects cause it can run a decent frame rate while their enabled... if u take a closer look... the anti aliasing looks to be non existant on ps3... lets not forget DEPTH OF FIELD... only on the 360 lol... the lighting is far more dramatic and real world looking on the 360 ... the ps3 lighting is not like that... see the ps3 makes everything overly lit in its version. Now before all of u get mad, i will say this... the ps3 is probably capable of making it like the 360 version. The reason they arent is because its too much work and too much money spent to redesign the graphics engine. You see 360 has a superior graphics card by a generation. Therefore 360 can run like most pcs. The ps3 has that cell processor with 6 useable cores on it compared to 360s 3 useable cores. But if u dont know normal processors are garbage compared to a graphics processor unit. All those extra cores can be put to use to try to make the graphics similiar, but in the end the better graphics card usually looks better one way or the other since graphics cards are meant for these types of real time calculations. Not to mention the fact that ps3 splits apart its memory so the textures are usually far worse in detail as well. Try to make educated comments... dont just be a fanboy of one. If it is obviously lacking some of the graphical features.... then obviously it was taken out for a reason... too much framerate loss Reply

Netmind	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post 360 looks more like real world? I've never seen the world so dark when its sunny.. Area map = sunny, then its not supposed to be as dark as the 360. Maybe take a look out the window once? Maybe that'll brighten up your memory? Looking at the edges, the darkness on the 360 kinda "hides" it while the lightning on the PS3 makes it easier to see.. I must say, these graphics sucks - PC FTW. Report Reply

Wido	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post I must admit the pictures for the 360 is too dark, and you cannot really compare them. Couldn't you do up the brightness for the 360 at the same level of the PS3, and then compare them that way??? And I'm not really bothered I have the game for the PS3, and it looks great. Wicked gameplay and well worth £40. Report Reply

NAMELESS	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post dude... your talkn about a sky texture. THat doesnt effect the lighting... thats got nothing to do with caluclating of lighting... ps3 is simply everything super lit... because it cant handle all the detail of the lighting at the same time. Again not to mention things like motion blur and depth of field.... try to make ur comments EDUCATED before u make them.... alls im hearing is ... too dark... whats that got to do with quality and how things are being rendered with the intent of the developer. THe reason ps3 is brighter is it cannot render the same things without losing framerate... so they had to dumb it down... if it could handle the same things... then the game would look just as dark on the ps3.. get the idea?

NAMELESS	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post hey u should be respecting 360, and ps3 alike... same shit in the end, just different method. 360 is favored since its easier and smarter built. Oh and by the way ... those guys complaining of darkness in sunny sky, what if a cloud is covering the sun? u never saw that before? lol Reply
