Face-Off: Resident Evil 6

Digital Foundry- Capcom's ambitions for Resident Evil 6 are lofty indeed: this new game is considerably bigger, faster-paced and more intense than previous instalments with the focus on survival horror toned down in favour of action-packed gunplay and blockbuster-style set-pieces.

The firm's spruced-up MT Framework engine is well suited to delivering such spectacle on-screen, with the revised deferred lighting system - first showcased in Dragon's Dogma - giving the game a phenomenal atmosphere and upgraded physics powering a supremely effective destructible scenery implementation.

barely wins over 360 version in terms of responsive gameplay.

The 360 version's lighting looked washed out a gloomy. The PS3 version has more bloom, more responsive frame rate thus being more responsive to a slight degree.
Either way, the game is a clunky, unpolished mess. Who cares which version of this turd appears more shiny? lol

"although for gameplay soloists the PS3 game's slightly crisper response gives it the edge. "

Before the PS3/360 fanboy "my console beat your console because of a single sentence in the article" arguments come in, let me just quote a few lines from the whole article and not just the conclusion:

"For Resident Evil 6, Capcom has taken a different approach, which sees the gap in performance diminish dramatically, to the point where both versions are almost equal in almost all scenarios."

"What is so surprising is just how close both versions perform taking in account the various gameplay scenarios and the load being put on the engine at any given point"

"Taking into account fluctuations in performance caused by variances in gameplay (no two scenes are exactly like-for-like) frame-rate are basically a match, with certain scenes faring a little better on the 360, and vice-versa on the PS3 in other areas. "

"It's really rare that we see a title with variable performance being quite so closely matched, but in this regard, Resident Evil 6 is quite remarkable"

Both versions are near identical, just let it be.

It didn't matter which won this won, a lot of us still lost in the end, and possibly more will lose in the future, expecting a turd to be polished when it's still a turd (PC version)...

the game looks and plays like shit. Go play Binary Domain or Vanquish instead and have a blast from beggining to end in those games.
