Handwipe	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Are you people blind? As a non-fanboy, I'm saying the 360 version obviously looks way better. Better textures, color, lighting. There wasn't one PS3 pic that wasn't washed out. It seems like this is a common theme in multi-platform games, maybe its a trick the developers use to get a better frame-rate out of the PS3 version, who knows Report Reply

TO BE HONEST	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post All you need to do is turn the brightness up on the tv if you use a 360, and turn it down if you have a PS3. Simple. But if you really want to be nit picky, the Playstation seems to have better bloom (Page 5, pic 1) and also the 360 seems to be a little bit better on faces, (Page 5, pic 2) see around his mouth. But Other than that they are exactly identical, they both get slowdown in a very very miniscule area of the game, the ps3 sufferd more from this maybe 5fps less, its very marginal. But the ps3 version already has a patch, which people say fixes this, so i expect them to be the same. In the end of the day, if you have both consoles flip a coin. I hope this games wipes the overhyped smurk from COD4. Reply

Major	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Tbh I don't really care, cause I'm gonna rent it and get bored of it in 7 days anyway, but the console fighting is funny here. First off, to the guy laughing at ps3 price, xbox360 costs more when you add in live fees which any smart person would have known when it launched and everyone was loling at ps3 prices, there was plenty of people bringing this up but the dumb xbox fans kept making it seem like ps3 price was funny and using no common sense at all. Add in failed dvd players and failed systems and it gets worse on your pockets. Plus, no one seems to bring it up much, but the ps2 is still selling strong (outselling xbox 360 this month lmao) and comming out with new games still. Just the lifespan on psx consoles gives it more of a edge than a little better graphics, rumble or 2 extra players online. That being said Xbox is a great console, but so were the neogeos and phantom systems that all failed, Xbox just has a huge bank account to keep it alive, ps2 could have killed both consoles off without that money.

Putty Man	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Articles like this are fanboy-tastic, and this forum has not failed to take the bait. For my 2 cents Id say both versions look pretty similar and play as such also it seems. Its good to see devs get a handle on the PS3 architecture at last, especially using the Unreal Engine. But I'm still crying out for a reason to get a PS3, it needs to be noticeably better than the 360 in multiformat games to warrant that price, since the exclusives are thin on the ground at the mo.

Karlius	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post The 360 does look slightly better the PS3 is still having Gamma Related issues where everything just looks too bright and the detail that is lacking is not hidden by the shadows. Probablly more to do with the PS3 poor RAM than its more than capable processor. I can't see any screens where PS3 is better. I know VIDEO GAMER doesn't have a HDMI 360 just a VGA cable so should look a little better with HDMI Equipped consoles. But i agree the 360 Version should be shown on a VGA as not everyone has the new 360. Report Reply

Wido	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Not really bothered about the game, as the 360 verison and the PS3 verison is going to be the same. Its only the online gameplay which will differ from each other, I own the first vegas its ok. But I could point out a few improvements especially the AI's need a improvement when ingaging the enemy, and have loads of lead in them before shooting them. But everything else seems ok, maybe the duration of a level could be a little bit more longer I suppose. Report Reply

Big Bob	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post PS3 has better graphics on these screens. ps3 does however show its trademark blur/smoothing/bloom lighting effect that 360 doesnt do, 360 shows its crisper sharper look but inferior contrast (black are far more black but there isnt as much diversity) also found in all multi platform games. the contrast on the ps3 is better due to HDMI being better for contrast. a 360 with HDMI will produce the same level of blacks and whites and improve with the "Over Dark Black" which all games on 360 suffer slightly. I own both systerms and the 360 is curently a far better games console for a few reasons, cheaper(now only £159 pounds! almost half the £300 pound price of a ps3), Live is so much better that PS3's internet support, so many more games on the 360, the best PS3 games are multi format and you can get on the 360, gamer points may be annoying but dam its additive, playing ur own music in any game anytime is a really nice touch, the MSN friend systerm is better in 360 than ps3, rumble is better than SIXAXS and SIXAXS is weakly implemented into games where as the rumble works brilliantly with all games. you can configue the 360 so that all games automactly start with your perfered inverted X,Y axis and controlls and if you like the X/A button for speed in racers or shoulder buttions... ps3 is more powerfull than 360. xbox was more powerfull than ps2.. Power on paper doesnt matter if its not used. the war isnt over. Yet. but current winner is the 360 I love my ps3 for blue ray films, but for games it has to be 360. Reply

Linc[LFC]	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post I have never taken a photocopy and it has looked better than the original and I have not yet seen a multi platform game that looks better on the PS3 than the 360 and the reason is simple. While the PS3 might be packing arcane new techie stuff that can model a nuclear explosion in real time to 10 decimal places its actually a bit a shit to program and so developers prefer to write on the 360 and then port to the PS3. I think over time this will change perhaps as people get more familiar with the architecture but right now this is the case for the vast majority of games out there. I have also had a chance to play about with the online services of the PS3 and 360 and on the MS platform it just seems so much more coherent, you have a universal friends list, you can invite to games, compare games played, message it really adds to the sense of community. In time all of these things will come to the PS3 and ultimately I think it will probably be the platform for choice but at this moment (while Sony refine and refine after being late to arrive to market)having tried both my preference is for the 360. Linc PS, anyone else find that the PS3 controllers are made for little kids hands and that the 360 controllers are much more comfortable for long play sessions, I dunno maybe its just my huge hands but that's how I feel it.

CAD	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Why is the 360 in Component and not HDMI for the comparison. I don't understand why sites do this and call it a comparison. If that is the case then the fact that the 360 in component that looks better then the PS3 in HDMI tell me that the graphics in the 360 will be way better because HDMI on the 360 takes component and glorifies it.
