Built on PS3 1st ported to Xbox360. PS3 version looks better , xbox version lookes washed up in the pics. Changing your TV settings might make it look better.

gow3 > dante though.

DelbertGrady5186d ago

I'd prefer to see it in motion though. Screenshots don't give away anything about framerates, vsync issues etc. I hope they got both versions to work well.

darthv725186d ago (Edited 5186d ago )

For some, it may just be the settings of the set that differentiate the graphical clarity and details. I like the look and most importantly...the level design of this game. I was reading on wiki about the levels in this game and they are quite intriguing.

I have both demos and can say that I cant see any differences on my samsung plasma at the same dynamic picture settings at 720p. Plus, you figure the demos are like all other demos and betas...(disclaimer mode activated) not representative of the final look of the game.

It is nice that ps3 is lead as that means both will be more equal in performance and quality than if 360 was lead. 360 just seems to have a better ability of matching the ps3 if ps3 is lead. Go figure.

@guido: I hate to say it but the game is not washed out on either platform. This is just from playing the demo at the same settings of my tv. Sometimes it makes you wonder if some of these comparison sites are truly being legit with matching the final look between versions. I do recall back in the day, I had certain settings for brightness/contrast/color when playing genesis games and a different set for playing snes games on the same monitor.

It is just a matter of personal preference. I can say from my personal experience with just the demo on the same tv at same resolution and using the dynamic setting of my plasma, both look exactly the same. I wont even try to downplay one over the other because it is as if like looking into a mirror.

It seems obvious you have no interest in this game because GoW3 is coming out soon enough. I am stoked for that as well but when it comes to good games...sometimes I just can't pass them up. This is one of those games. Any player interested should take note and at least read the wiki write up on the various levels in the game. They just sound like they are a blast to play through.

Guido5186d ago

Tell us how you like it. Does the washed out look make the game play worse? Probably not. In the end, you will like the game despite it looking like it does and then you can come back and be far more civil when it comes to lazy ports to the PS3.

It's nice to see the shoe on the other foot from time to time and see devs make games look and play better for the PS3 but that does not excuse the fact that any dev that makes a game lesser on one platform compared to another is not doing the job 100% like they should be.

frostypants5186d ago

I've got no skin in this...I'm just not too interested in this game.

However, they look entirely the same to me...360 looks maybe a little washed out side-by-side but nothing meaningful. Good cross-platform job by the devs.

ZombieRollz5186d ago

I love Soda.

When the 360 version is superior: "It's quite clear that the 360 far outweighs the PS3 on this port"

When the PS3 version is superior: "I'd rather see it in motion."

LOL.

BattleAxe5186d ago

Theres a bit more detail in the PS3 version when it comes to the ground textures and other small things.

Guido5186d ago

That's the hypocrisy of the 360 camp. However, knowing my taste in consoles and reading my post you can see, no matter what console it is on, the dev should make the game great on both consoles and not favor one over the other. In the end, no matter the console, if it favors one over the other it denotes a lazy dev IMHO and should be released only when the game is complete and good looking on both platforms.

GVON5186d ago

Sorry but they both look like turds,and some slight res advantage is nothing to boast about.I enjoyed the demo more than I thought I would.But I seriously can't get this over gow3,i'd be insane if I did.
If I only had one system though I'd probably buy it because it felt like a solid game.I do worry it will run out of ideas fairly quick,

lowcarb5186d ago

The PS3 version actually looks much better. What I find funny is how PS3 guys always pretend the washed out PS3 version looks better now all of a sudden it's ugly lol.

solidt125186d ago

Yeah the PS3 version has deeper blacks, Looks like Full RGB is on. I like using limited RGB because with Full in dark parts of the game it is hard for me to see things in the environment. It might just be my TV though.

dragunrising5186d ago

I also will have to see it in motion. Granted, the PS3 looks superior based on the screenshots provided, I'm not sold. Regardless, I think I would purchase this for PS3 if I had to choose as its being released as a special edition.

Someone remind me again why videogameszone.de always makes news on N4G? I wouldn't assume most readers on this site speak German... :-/

lociefer5186d ago

damage control is reaching critical levels, you guyz should cool down

KiRBY30005186d ago

why would you prefer to see it in motion? only PS3 users are getting both games so it's not like you have to make a choice.

if you see it in motion and end up liking the PS3 version more, are you gonna buy a PS3 for that game? probably not. so cut the crap already.

gaffyh5186d ago

PS3 version: Deeper colours, more particle effects, quite a lot of aliasing issues.

360 version: A little washed out, slightly less aliasing issues (but still quite a lot)

Overall PS3 version seems better, so it seems like a Darksiders type thing with this game. Still, in motion, it wouldn't make much difference to anyone.

we won5186d ago (Edited 5186d ago )

You guys have to wait for the real comparison sites this German site switches the tags on the pics more often than not. I doubt the 360 version is washed out. This site has a track record for being wrong compared to other comparison sites and have been caught red handed doing the o'l switch a roo with the console tags with pics, saying the PS3 version is the 360 version and the 360 version the PS3 version

Gue15186d ago

That's what I always say but people insist in stack up screen-shots to compare graphics differences...

kalebgray925186d ago

look at dante's hands its an updated version of san andreas hands.... gow3 owns this
the only difference is the ps3 version looks like crap but is darker.... and the 360 version looks like crap and is lighter

blu_yu_away5186d ago

Shadows and textures definitely look better on the PS3 but whats up with all the jaggies?

TotalPS3Fanboy5186d ago

OK, fine, the PS3 version looks better. LOL.

ape0075186d ago

it was good but certainly a gow wanna be, heck even I thought that it has the same game code

good game but im not gonna buy it and everybody knows why

KRATOS

god Im dying to get my hands on gow3

gow is a dream experience

SilentNegotiator5186d ago (Edited 5186d ago )

PS3 looks better and the "Divine Edition" is only $60 and exclusive to the PS3.

The PS3 has the better textures/color contrast in addition to not being blurry: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Divine Edition: http://www.gamestop.com/Cat...

DelbertGrady5186d ago (Edited 5186d ago )

Because if the 360 version performs like the PS3 version of Bayonetta I won't be getting it. On the other hand, if it moves at a steady framerate and the gameplay is good I just might. I play games in motion, not in screenshots.

"I love Soda.

When the 360 version is superior: "It's quite clear that the 360 far outweighs the PS3 on this port"

When the PS3 version is superior: "I'd rather see it in motion."

So how do you explain these comments:

On Mass Effect 2 - PC/360

"5 days 5 hours ago
videogameszone.de do the crappiest comparisons I've ever seen, and their site is full of pop-up windows and spam. Should be banned imo.

Anyways, if the PC version doesn't look better something is seriously wrong"

---

"12 days 14 hours ago
This site should stop making comparisons. They are so crappy it hurts to watch them.

Anyways, PC version looks better of course, but at the same time I'm surprised the difference isn't bigger. Could have to do with the specs of the PC. Looks very good on both platforms though."

---

On Darksiders - PS3/360

"21 days 1 hour ago
PS3 version definitely looks better. I really like this game and think you should pick it up regardless of what platform you own. Also, I read on IGN that a fix will be released soon for the 360 version, if not already available. Will have a good time in either case =)"

What's funny with you PS3 diehards is that whenever the 360 version of a multiplat game looks better you write it off as crap. Like you did with Bayonetta.

@SilentNegotiator - I've never said I have a PS3. You should take a rest and stop trying so hard to put words in my mouth.

SilentNegotiator5186d ago (Edited 5186d ago )

Digital Foundry confirms CONSTANT 60fps on PS3 version Demo:
http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...
And not any major screen tearing here, if there was ANY.

You sure concern yourself with the PS3 a lot for a person who doesn't own one.

Pistolero5185d ago

This is not what I saw when I compared the demos on my tv....I don't know why but a lot of this site's screenshot comparisons are kind of strange...but it's only a gamma difference anyway, which can be adjusted in the game's menu just like Dead Space...I am waiting for Digital Foundry's and Lens of Truth's more in depth comparisons.

jack_burt0n5186d ago

Wow i thought the game looked bad on ps3 but the 360 looks frickin terrible washed out low rez mess. No wonder it has so many more pre orders on ps3.

BeaArthur5186d ago

There are probably more pre-orders because the PS3 version is the limited edition version for the same price as the 360 standard. More content for the same price equals a no brainer.

GiantEnemyCrab5186d ago

What a drama queen.. the textures look the same..

Anyway, wait for a real comparison from a credible site like Lense of Truth who actually provide technical details not some hack German site.

@Bea: Yes, that is total bullsh*t and the reason many 360 owners I know don't plan on giving this game the time of day.

Dev8 ing5186d ago (Edited 5186d ago )

Who cares about this piece of crap anyway. Oh yeah people who aren't going to get to play GOW3. It's just like last year people were saying how great prototype was to the point that after beating infamous I gave it a try and man was it garbage.

The Meerkat5186d ago

PS3 has better contrast.

I'd base any decision on which one has the most stable frame rate.

raztad5186d ago (Edited 5186d ago )

Just FYI the PS3 version is 60fps steady. Probably that's the case of xbox's.

Let go to record and say: DI is barely a passable looking game. Look forward to gameplay no graphics in this one.

raztad5186d ago

Judging for the number of disagrees someone think DI is an hot looking game. No it's not. If you think it is:

1) You need to throw away the SDTV your mom gave you.

OR

2) Get your eyes fixed.

Game visuals are mostly OK but nothing special, but come on, the 60fps gameplay/story more than make for it.

JOLLY15186d ago (Edited 5186d ago )

I'd say that the ps3 one looks better. I only checked out a few of them, but there just seemed to be more color in the ps3 ones.

Kain815186d ago

....better lightning Effects and better Textures...

JOLLY15186d ago (Edited 5186d ago )

Well I didn't see any better textures. THe only thing I noticed was depth of color.

*edit* @ below...sorry I just don't see it. The textures look identical.

XxDeathDoctorxX5186d ago

god of war 3 will crap on this game

GhostScholar198d ago (Edited 198d ago )

I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.

gold_drake198d ago

omg chloe was awful. i really hated her at the end haha

Cacabunga198d ago

Abby was absolute trash protagonist in every way..
Tidus was so meh to me..
On villain side, the one i didn’t like wa Micah, because they wanted him to be that way and it was brilliant👍🏽

Rancegamerx198d ago

I agree, I liked Max, Chloe was a horrible friend and a bad influence.

Cacabunga197d ago

Everyone agrees on chloe, I’m sure even ND do.

H9198d ago

Both are horrible, granted Chloe is infinitely worse, it feels like Chloe is just fanservice for people who too over the edge and wasn't written to be a character that makes sense

GooGobbler198d ago

What about that Forspoken Tw*t

MrChow666198d ago

exactly I was expecting it to be a the top of the list

ravens52198d ago

Ye I was expecting her too. Guess they actually played the game. Unlike you and whoever agrees.

gpimlott197d ago

I played through the whole game and think she is one of the worst character Ive ever played as

ravens52197d ago (Edited 197d ago )

gpimlott. How?

Stanjara187d ago

Why would I payed and played the game if the whole internet is making fun of a character?

-Im here to kill Chaos...are you Chaos?

Yeah, I didn't play that game either.

Christopher198d ago (Edited 198d ago )

She's actually not bad. It's the writing itself that is bad overall, but she's fine overall. She's no worse than Miles Morales IMHO. Both thrust into a spotlight and receiving both praise and blame and dealing with it.

Forspoken is a bland game because it's 75% bland, boring, repetitive going through the motions and diversions that add nothing of the value with purposefully gated memory moments that don't feel organic or like you're discovering things but waiting for others to reveal things.

ravens52198d ago

Exactly Chris. Even though I liked the game. I kno u played it. People who actually played it and went thru her dream saw she was a good likeable person who really just acted out due to being alone and unloved. I think your problem is it was open world, I think if it was more linear you may have liked it better.

savedsynner197d ago

Oh no she's bad. Very unlikable even before you add on the bad dialogue. The game could have been quite good with a good protagonist

ravens52197d ago

For all the people like synner. Shes actually half white lol. Inferior complexity is a hell of a thing. You'll be ok.

Nerdmaster198d ago

Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.

-Foxtrot198d ago

Squall is one of the best developed main FF characters so...

People talk about his "whatever" thing thats at the start of the game, not the character he eventually becomes in the end.

Nerdmaster197d ago

No amount of "character development", (especially the ones that for me feels sudden and undeserved like Squall's), will justify him being a d**k to my girl Quistis. Even if he found the cure for cancer, from that moment on, I would never like him.
The article is about being unlikeable, and he was indeed unlikeable for at least half of the game.

BrainSyphoned198d ago

Squall is the best protagonists in FF so you can go whatever yourself.

H9198d ago

My good sir, I need to steal that "you can go whatever yourself" because it's gold

BlaqMagiq1198d ago

Except Squall has actual character development.

gold_drake198d ago (Edited 198d ago )

the "watever" is only present in the english localisation.
so your argument doesnt rly ... stand imo.

Nerdmaster197d ago

Good for you that you could enjoy the japanese version. That's not the case for me and the majority of people here, though.

Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.

LoveSpuds542d ago (Edited 542d ago )

I recall enjoying it well enough at the time, but it wasn't a patch on God of War 3 which came out around the same time I think.

I own it and fired it up on my PS3 about 6 months ago and time hadn't been particularly kind to it although it still very much nailed the atmosphere and it is a cool as he'll setting and universe.

Inverno542d ago

Dante's Inferno needs the GOW treatment. No cut camera, with a real hellish depiction of the 9 circles and a story as dark and as serious would be amazing.

Yui_Suzumiya541d ago

Still pretty amazing there was a PSP version that was actually pretty good. I remember playing it 10 years ago. I had the PS3 version when it first came out and loved it.

Hellcat2020541d ago

Ahh the memories of playing Heavenly Sword
Such a amazing experience

LoveSpuds541d ago

Yup, I remember being blown away with Heavenly Sword. I remember holding out hope that they would go back and add trophy support as a incentive to go back and replay the game, but I don't think they ever did?

Yui_Suzumiya541d ago

I couldn't beat the final boss though! Spent several days trying but eventually gave up, lol. Still enjoyed it though.

refocusedman541d ago

heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.

YoungKingDoran541d ago

I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.

The effort here is overwhelming

darthv721499d ago

Sad this may never get the sequel it deserves. It's still one of the best GoW clones around.

Silly gameAr1497d ago

I agree. I still have my copy, but a sequel would have been awesome.

Ratchet751496d ago

It's the only GOW clone around. 😉

specialguest1497d ago

I would love to revisit my old PS3 games played at a higher framerate and resolution. UC2, TLOU, GOW3, KZ2 & 3, Demon Souls

darthv721497d ago

I know you can with UC2, TLoU and GoW3... just get the PS4 versions. Oh and i think Demon Souls as well.

100% with u on that one.
Could you imagine a dead space on ps4/x1 and maybe a VR version.
And what about that Star Wars game they cancelled? They must have regretted it after seeing JFO's success.
This company is run by morons.

Kombatologist1495d ago

Yep. :( They care more about current trends than making a truly great game. It was their fault Dead Space 3 didn't do as well as 2 because, against the devs' wishes, they wanted it to have co-op because MuLtIpLaYeR > SiNgLePlAyEr. It's scary that companies like EA have so much influence on the industry.
