Here we go again.

Only difference I saw was the 360 was brighter, hard to say if adjustments on the TV, in-game would have made them identical. Otherwise, I saw no differences, then again, I never broke out the magnifying glass.

Mr_Bun5664d ago

These comparisons are getting ridiculous. Are they trying to imply that if I have a PS3, but the 360 version of a game looks slightly better, that I am going to buy another console just for the minor visual difference that may or may not be seen on MY television?

NO_PUDding5664d ago

To be fair the PS3 version looked better.

Better contrast, better colour. Especially when it (the PS3 screen) cuts in when 'Isaac' is running away.

Beast_Master5664d ago

I barely see a difference. I like the darker PS3 version but that could be the just the contrast on the tv.

anh_duong5664d ago

the version that looks best depends not on the actual version but on the eyesight of the player and the TV and setup of the user.

DARKKNIGHT5664d ago (Edited 5664d ago )

HONESTLY:

when i play on my xbr5 with all my custom settings, my screen looks WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy better than what these SO-CALLED journalists put up.

then ill turn OFF: theater mode, motion flow, rgb unlimited, and superwhite and a laundry list of other video options OFF....and still end up with a better picture than what is posted by these sites.

When will the b1rds#1t from these birds, cease to cover the gaming industry?

Statix5664d ago

Usually, in such video comparisons, we see the 360 version have deeper colors and an overall darker gamma. However, in this case, we clearly see that it's the other way around, for once. This is probably because the testers actually did the right thing and turned on the "Full Range" option on the PS3 settings, and they also seemed to set the 360's black level setting to too low of a setting (yes, the 360 has Range controls as well).

SRU96005664d ago

I always purchase multiplatform games for my 360 for one very important reason: the controller.

I hate the PS3's controller, plain and simple.

I have to deal with it when playing PS3 exclusives, but I will not use it if I don't have to.

dantesparda5663d ago

I dont care what anybody says, i like these comparisons. The games look the same, the PS3 is actually darker, and therefore looks more colorful, but you really cant judge the graphics on that basis, because you dont know how their color settings are or the systems output is. But they look the same.

JsonHenry5663d ago

I think they looked the same.

If you want to do a real comparison - compare the console versions vs the PC version. And when you do you will know why I am buying the PC version! : )

Seriously - who cares? Just get it for whatever console you have. And if you have both get it for he one you think has the better controls.

No Way5663d ago (Edited 5663d ago )

These video comparisons are for two things.
1. It allows multi console owners to decide which version they'd rather pick up based on visuals. Or, if it shows framerate differences, or whatever else these stupid video comparisons show.

2. It's bragging rights for fanboys to say that their console version looks better.. even though half the time you can't tell the difference.

himdeel5663d ago

...of what could be when a developer actually puts forth the proper effort so one game on two different systems are mirror identical versions of each other. Looks the same to my untrained eyes. Good job EA.

Jacobite5663d ago

Thought both looked good lol or that just me

DaTruth5663d ago

360 version looks better... to 360 fanboys. The PS3 version looks better... to PS3 fanboys. The versions look identical to real gamers, but we didn't bother to watch.

GUNS N SWORDS5663d ago (Edited 5663d ago )

i saw no differences, well, only 1 thing, when Isaac was escaping the 360 version looked brighter. but, if you look at the vid again it's cause of the smoke effects. that was the only thing i saw.

red5ive5663d ago

my god, this game is scary as hell!!! gonna have to pick up a copy later. on which system? i'll never tell. lol.

timmyrulz5664d ago

I thought the atmosphere on the ps3 version seemed brighter but everything else looked the same (apart from the extra 3 stars on the x360 version )

SeanScythe5664d ago

yea same here although the ps3 had more space then the 360 did.......get it more space.

Antan5664d ago

Good luck to our resident specialist opticians on N4G who seem to be able to see things others do not.

Looking with my eyes i say........................... everyones a winner.

bouncybullet5663d ago

Tv settings would make it identical.

That video was so choppy.

at least on my machine.

No Way5663d ago (Edited 5663d ago )

Yea. I know, right? They should get payed for that sht. Just like.. analysts. They get payed for BSing. Haha. =)

@bouncybullet
Yea.. It was choppy on mine, as well.

Heaven_Or_Hell5664d ago

Maybe the PS3 has a better contrast in the end of the video...
Anyway it's pretty the same thanks to the leading on PS3

Leading on PS3 then port the game to 360 is a lot easier and it's a win-win situation for both consoles

dachiefsman5664d ago

hopefully that stays true with MGS4.

MiloGarret5664d ago

Identical, stop imagining things, all you accomplish is to attract flamers.

dachiefsman5664d ago

not very good with sarcasm are yea....

dachiefsman5664d ago

these aren't necessary any more.

No Way5663d ago (Edited 5663d ago )

They never were...

They've pretty much always been used for one thing. And, that would be for fanboys to have bragging rights about how much their console version looks better.

One Year Later, What Was The Point Of The Dead Space Remake

The remake teased an expanded universe, but now a sequel has no chance of delivering on it.

Honestly i believe it was mainly as retaliation for the original devs breaking off and making colisto protocol. They've done this a few times, ignoring fan demands for the return of a belived ip until someone does it for them, then they retaliate by only then announcing an entry. Colisto protocol was announced and EA announced the remake shortly after, Session finally hit consoles and skate 4 was announced, shortly after Undisputed was shown off, talks started happening about a new fight night.

ZeekQuattro19h ago

I agree. Reminds me of when Inafune announced Mighty No.9 and the initial reaction of the game industry was that of celebration and suddenly Capcom said ohh shit we need to announce Mega Man 11. 😆 Still waiting for MM12 & the next X title.

isarai17h ago

Exactly, it's BS that pettiness has more power than demand for some reason.

Cacabunga16h ago

i liked the remake as much as the original.. it has so many improvements, the most noticeable to me was the seemless transition between levels which should be a must and a standard nowadays.
I cannot wait for the sequel's remake too.

Tacoboto16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

That's a very farfetched conspiracy.

Callisto Protocol was announced in February 2021 and Dead Space in July. They didn't just decide in March 2021 to "retaliate" by remaking from scratch Dead Space in under a two year timespan.

If anything, Callisto is the result of a has-been Creative Director whose only inspiration is his previous work, and EA took inspiration long before Callisto was known about from the insane success of the RE Remakes and endless calls at the time for the RE4 Remake.

0hMyGandhi8h ago

So, how do you like working at EA?

shadowhaxor7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

And yet,fans of Dead Space, myself included, have been asking EA to bring back Dead Space for a better part of a decade. To which EA refused, stating that it was done with the series. Specifically after Dead Space 3 failed to meet EA's sale goals (sound familiar?) But magically, after they caught wind of The Callisto Protocol, with Glen at the helm, Dead Space remake was greenlit.

For those not counting, The Callisto Protocol call was announced in 2019, while Dead Space remake was announced in 2021. Long before TCP was announced?

badboyz0914h ago

100% that's the way EA operates

Extermin8or3_1h ago

You know how long it will have taken to make this game, this is some rediciulous logic.

It was a solid game and we'll have to move on and accept it for what it is. Just because we're not getting a sequel (original or remake) doesn't mean there's no point anymore in what is a great, tense, well-paced single player experience. No one's taking Dead Space Remake away.

I just hope that the game isn't so technically stitched together on PC that driver updates render the game unplayable like what happened with me and my RTX 4070 last year, requiring a driver downgrade just months after the game came out. If you're a console player then you've got no worries.

TheProfessional20h ago(Edited 20h ago)

Yeah but it was a pointless remake since the original still looks pretty good. They should've done a sequel, something original or Dante's Inferno 2.

Way too many remakes now. Even resident evil 4 had already been remastered twice before the most recent one. No originality. Why not just hire the original team to make a new game instead?

Harkins17218h ago

For the hopes to get a new generation of people into the game. OG still looks good but it stopped selling long ago. So I get why they do remakes.

Knightofelemia1d 7h ago

Most likely for EA to cash in on the remake craze that followed Capcom when they started remaking RE games. I am glad EA did it I enjoy the game. DS is one of my favorite franchises love the sci fi horror shit. What I don't like is EA not remaking DS2. So DS1 remake did not do well with the numbers so what. DS2 has a solid fanbase and is probably the best entry in the franchise depending on the fan. DS2 remake would have been a day one for me but I got a reminder on why I hate EA. Scrap the DS2 remake for a shitty Iron Man game.

chicken_in_the_corn1d 2h ago

It's because the gaming community want remakes and remasters over new games.

mandf20h ago(Edited 20h ago)

Thank you for recognizing that. One group always complains over remasters or remakes.gamers want them and they sell. To the once’s that complain your console has no games to do again. If you did ,they would remake them.

Crows9018h ago

Or maybe we can tell most of these devs can't deliver good new IP for some reason.

isarai17h ago

When it's hard to find a modern game that isn't broken, incomplete and monetized to hell, remakes are a sure bet for having a complete experience as older games weren't plagued with those issues

Fonsecap22h ago

I think that is for the best of the franchise o be left alone then to be turned into a game as a service or something like that, EA has the awful habit of trying to monetize everything.
