Geoffrey	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Try to remember that their comments are based on what they are seeing in person and not the screen caps. I think they both look good, although there seems to be more detail in the 360 shots (electrical units on the outside of the buildings, power lines, etc). There are definitely objects in the 360 version that are not in the PS3 version. Reply

LOL	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post PS3 version looks like crap. Look at all the jaggies in the foreground and background, look at all the crummy textures, and one dimensional unrealistic lighting effects circa 2004. You would have to be blind, dumb, and stupid to think the PS3 version looks better...oh wait, I just described the typical PoS3 fanboy! Reply

Rick	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post OMG this post is bias. PERIOD. anyone who says the 360 version looks better is either bias or fanboyish. If the argument is that quake is "supposed to be" dark and gloomy then that just means that the ps3's CRYSTAL-CLEAR, bright, and AWESOME visuals are wrong for this type of game, NOT that the graphics are worse cause the visuals are obviously better than the 360 counterpart.

And X360 fans who denies it are probably pissed of what they saw.........and yes that guy who brougth up the technical aspects of both consoles like graphic card and processor gave me a good laugh thnx buddy for being search a jerk Reply

NAMELESS	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post THAT IS NOT THE ARGUMENT, the argument all the shaders and post processing effects... even geometry is lowered in the ps3 version. Stop being a sony fanboy.. the darkness issue pretty much has to be an issue of the person who took the screenshot.. the game isnt actually that dark if u take a look at other places... but still even if it was, the fact of the matter is ps3 is running the game on low quality with low lighting with low effects, while the 360 is running it at much higher quality... AND if u listen to the article the framerates are horrible on the ps3 Reply

Netmind	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Really, the 360 looks better in most cases except lightning.. And Nameless, you gotta get outside some more as well.. Have a look at the skies, I don't think because of a cloud in front of the sun would make the whole skies so dark? Awesome graphics is the opposite of what I would say. Report Reply

Rick	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post the only thing the 360 has over the ps3 is floor texture and detail and everyone can see for themselves it's very true. but just cause you guys prefer dark and gloomy blurry environments for a quake game does NOT mean the graphics are better. and those people who are "smart" and "know what they are talking about" can **** off too cause it doesn't matter if the 360 version looks better on PAPER (the game is run on 500 megs of ram on the super ati graphics processor with the ultra engine 3 and the ps3 version isn't and doesn't utilize polygon pipelines BLAH BLAH BLAH) because judging from these screen shots and these screen shots only, the ps3 version looks FAR better. BASED ON THESE SCREEN SHOTS. Reply

NAMELESS	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post lol dude... first off the brightness had to be cranked way down. Theres no reason its that dark . Alls u gotta do is turn it up.. and u got the shaders and its bright as day. Ps3 u cant turn up the detail level. Im sorry, i wish they made more games worth buying on ps3... I got mine for metal gear cause thats the best game ever made. Every game ported over usually is garbage on ps3. And as for this game.. that blurry effect means its rendering it 2-4 x over the ps3 and still maintaining the framerates. Its more then a blur filter thrown on it too lol. You dont understand how that actually works. To get effects like that it has to be rendered multiple times... real time isnt photoshop. Hate to say it but 360 can just handle more with its graphics card. You really gotta stop trying to prove to urself that ps3 is better cause YOU spent YOUR MONEY on that. I spent my money on ps3 for metalgear not its graphcial capabilities. Reply
