The Top Ten The Last of Us PS3 vs The Last of Us PS3 Screenshot Comparisons

The Daily Reaction team of Seb and Dan share their thoughts on some of their biggest gripes with the games media as a whole. - PSLS

[Foolsjoker]

The PS3 obviously destroys the PS3 version...

[GribbleGrunger]

Really? I thought the texture and lighting was better on the PS3 version. And there's definitely some framerate issues with the second picture.

[piroh]

it depends which PS3 are you playing on

[Wigriff]

My PS3 can process more sarcasm and irony per second than your PS3 can. 1337

[lex-1020]

@wigriff

Win

[wastedcells]

Trolls! The PS3 has Hyperion process configuration mapping with cell multiplication of shade and texture mapification, plus the lighting modulation and Johnson rod anti matter. Black holes and platinum analyzing analizers. Erection mods and BLURAY. Hdmi 1.42839272.5 Plus harder drives and 8 gigs of ram porn. The future is yesterday. The past is tomorrow. So it's obvious the ps3 version will be better by far.

[NatureOfLogic]

PS3 > PS3. PS3 FTW!

It sucks if you only own a PS3 and not a PS3.

One version runs at 1080p, 60fps while the other version runs at a silly 1080p, 60fps. you tell me which one you would rather have.

[InactiveUser]

Where are the other 9 pics?

[andibandit]

If you look at the PS3 picture, you'll see the guy has a hair in his nose, while he dosnt have it on the PS3 picture.

[VonBraunschweigg]

Not so fast, we do not yet know what the port will look like. Does anybody knows who is going to port this game fromto PS3?

[thereapersson]

I was with you until you said 1337, which at that point proceeded to lose my sh*t with laughter.

Well done.

[Dude420]

@ wastedcells

"The future is yesterday. The past is tomorrow."

What you said there immediately made me think of this. lol

[Sarcasm]

Man I am absolutely disgusted on what I am reading here. All these PS3 fanboys arguing against PS3 fanboys. This is by far beyond anything I have ever read in my life. It makes me ashamed to be a PS3 gamer and as well as a PS3 gamer.

Listen folks, all you people with a PS3 just get the PS3 version, and all you other people with a PS3 just get the PS3 version. End of story! Is it that hard?

[doctorstrange]

You're such a fanboy. There are more pixels in the PS3 one, if you use a computer program to analyze the aspect ratio of the six digit output, then it's clear the PS3 one is better than the PS3 one in every way.

[Foolsjoker]

No, you are such a PS3 fanboy. The PS3 obviously has more and less pixel power than the PS3 version.

[doctorstrange]

That's only if you don't switch on AA, by using the Blu-ray's hidden Kutaragi switch. Then the more and less pixel power doubles by half.

[GribbleGrunger]

Give me a break, doctorstrange. You can see quite clearly that there is screen tearing on the PS3. Stop being such a fanboy yourself and be honest. The PS3 version wipes the floor with the PS3 version. It's people like you that give gamers a bad name!

edit: I'm not entirely sure this is the conversation this article was hoping for... LOL

[doctorstrange]

Are you paid by Sony to say that Gribble? It's because Sony uses underhand tactics like that that Sony can't compete because they're ethical. Any sane individual knows which is superior. The PS3 version.

[GribbleGrunger]

There may be some payments involved, yes, but I have integrity and would never let remunerations effect my views. Even if you consider me biased, you would have to be blind not to see that the PS3 version was far superior. If it was up to me to review the two games, I would NOT allow corporate pressure or the fear of losing my job get in the way of the truth. PS3 version is the best.

[thorstein]

@DocStrange "Then the more and less pixel power doubles by half. "

ROFLMAO! You clearly don't understand the power of the PS3 compared to the inferior PS3 version, the More and Less Pixel Power (MLPP) Octuples by an eighth! How could you not know that?

[boybato]

so are you guys saying that the PS3 version is better? Here is a piece of advice for fanboys out there:

advi

[doctorstrange]

Guys, you can't expect me to have to put up with the PS3's mandatory install. I prefer having it optional, like on my PS3.

[Afreelunch]

Have you even tried to play games on a Dualshock? It's a poorly designed controller that was outdated 10 years ago. I'd much rather use a controller that was actually made to fit the human hand, like a PS3 Dualshock

[GrandTheftZamboni]

Guys, guys, easy. Play games, not consoles!
:)

[Bathyj]

My PS3 smells like PS3 games...

[DaReapa]

I just read somewhere else that the PS3 version of TLOU is gonna be a timed exclusive. I'm so tired of this timed exclusivity nonsense. I was really looking forward to getting the PS3 version, but I don't have patience for a delayed release - even if it's only for a few days. But I guess it won't matter to me much as I am one of the precious few that owns both a PS3 AND a PS3. See, us multi-console owners are the REAL true gamers.

[Dante112]

I'm going with the Ps3 version since it gets DLC before the Ps3 version. I win, end of!

[camel_toad]

There's an obvious bias here as they aren't even showing the 360, Wii, and Atari 2600 screen shots.

[yess]

Stop fighting, and play the best versions on your prefered PS3, then you can also call yourself a hardcore gamer...Win win.

[Sarcasm]

You guys are smoking crack. The PS3 version is clearly superior. The PS3 version is a poor man's PS3 version.

[moparful99]

Pssht my PC's PS3 emulator blows both of those away! When will you console losers realize that PC emulators will alwasy trump consoles.....

[rjdofu]

@moparful99: cool story bro.

[moparful99]

Why am I getting a butt load of disagrees? I was just trying to add to this ps3 vs ps3 humor with a tongue in cheek poke at the pc vs console rivalry.. Just trying to be funny but gauging everyone's reaction it was far from it.. My bad :-/

[JAMurida]

Nah, they didn't use the true color option with HDMI cables and instead used component cables. Not a fair comparison.

[Rumor]

This thread is legendary

[lex-1020]

Win

[Shikoro]

I was literally laughing for over 10 minutes, holy s**t. Thanks a lot, people. :D

[Relientk77]

^ This pretty much sums it up

[GrandTheftZamboni]

It felt like I entered the Twilight Zone.

[LiquifiedArt]

But much better then any xbox version of any game.

[Awesome_Gamer]

Gotta love those funny comments, Long Live PlayStation.

[ElitaStorm]

what is happening? this is new

[NastyLeftHook0]

its kind of a tough choice, you see the ps3 version has more shadows/detail ect, but the playstation 3 version runs it alot better with less loading.

[Walker]

Im LOLed !

[Hicken]

I am, too!

[AO1JMM]

So did I

[Conzul]

This is great, you know! A thread where proper gamers can just agree with eachother and there's no fighting or ..... gah

[Dovahkiin]

A rarity here.

[Lockon]

Tough to say, but at this juncture i give it to the PS3 version.

[Ben_Grimm]

You can tell that the PS3 version color texture is much more blurry.

(Hey I want to get in on the fun too!)

[doctorstrange]

The texture is blurrier, but the colours are more vibrant and alive looking. That's more important, which is why I bought the PS3 version.

[Foolsjoker]

The PS3 one might be more vibrant, but the PS3 has darker blacks.

[DigitalRaptor]

You bought it?? I rented it (the PS3 version of course)!

[GribbleGrunger]

Clearly they've turned off the full RBG for the second picture, but it doesn't fool me.

[Bathyj]

Can I quote myself from 22 hours ago?

"Naughty Dog are only competing with themselves at this point. "

This proves it.

[Conzul]

You must be psychic!

Tell me, what will the metacritic score for TLoU be?

[moparful99]

Ps3. 9.8111111111111
Playstation3. 9.7

[newn4gguy]

Actually, I'm going to set the Metacritic score at 97. Breaking that 96 mark is NOT easy for any game. So few have done it. Uncharted 2 got a 96 and it is hailed by many as the best game this generation. I think they can pull this off though.

[Holeran]

The PS3 has much better lighting. Fanboy all you want but you can't deny that.

[lifesanrpg]

Stop taking video games so seriously.

[rpd123]

Dude...

http://forum.surfermag.com/...

[VonBraunschweigg]

Says the kid who's life is a RPG. Stuck in a quest or what?

[Ares90]

What are PS3 fanboys gonna say now? PS3 owned them!!!
PS3 is the best, fuck PS3!

[Cueil]

I spewed coke out of my nose when I read that...

[P_Bomb]

I spewed chocolate milk out of my nose, and I wasn't even drinking any! :o

[TheLordOfStuff]

@Ares90
lol, well said, have a bubble :)

[Sheikah]

Good you fanboys are so biased - There's sooo little difference between the two. At the end of the day, the gamers win, regardless of which PS3 you have!

[kB0]

It looks better on Dreamcast, this article is clearly trolling.

Considering that the Dreamcast packs 200 mhz 128-bit processor and can achieve almost 1.5 GFlops of Precision should be the hint!

Frankly I would like to see how PS3 even manages to compete with both Sega Net and a 56K direct connection line.

Honestly Dumb comparison....Dreamcast hands down.

<3Dreamcast and PS3 and this Article made my day LOL!

[Reverent]

The PS3 doesn't even come close to the PS3 version... Psshh.

Anyways, in all seriousness, this is a really good article and it makes some great points on how corrupt online journalism is these days. Also, I love the way they mix-matched the title to mock all of the top ten lists and comparisons like that. All around, probably the most enjoyable article I've read from here in a long time.

[Pintheshadows]

Some of the comments here are priceless.

[InTheLab]

The PS3 version is clearly benefiting from Blast Processing...

PS3 does what PS3don't!

[Obnoxious_Informer]

This article is a huge breath of fresh air. So sick of seeing poorly considered PlayStation doom articles topping N4G, and in-sighting a slew of piggybackers.

[Tdmd]

F... that! I'll get the Ps3 version and be done with that. Don't care if the Ps3 version is the inferior version at all, I'll have a blast all the same.

Pff... gamers these days...

[moparful99]

Umm why not own both? YOu're not a real soft core gamer unless you do!!! smh @ fanboys...

[Sharingan_no_Kakashi]

SMH....

You people have made my day lololol.

[YoungKingDoran]

I'd have to agree with 50% of the people here, the PS3 looks better.
And I'm not a fanboy. I own a PS3 AND a PS3

[SilentNegotiator]

The only people who are arguing that the ps3 version looks better than the ps3 version are the fanboys that only own the ps3.

[No FanS Land]

"And I'm not a fanboy. I own a PS3 AND a PS3"

ok, I literally Laughed my ass off this line!

[bloodybutcher]

well,i own only a ps3, so i don't give a damn about some stupid ps3 version, cuz my ps3 version is da best anyway.
ps3 rulezzz, screw ps3!

[HmongAmerican]

I don't think its fair to compare both PS3 version against it self. LOl

[LiViNgLeGaCY]

Lmfao. Best comments on any article. Ever.

....By the way, some of you are clearly delusional if you think the PS3 screenshots looks better than the PS3 ones.

[Sev]

I really do have to agree. I almost don't know what's happening here. I didn't think N4G was capable of this type of happiness and humor.

I'm stunned, but truly happy at what I'm seeing here.

Kudos, everyone!

[Grandmaster-B]

Jup, Ps3 version wins like always!

[bloodybutcher]

sony fanboy! you totally failed to see then it's ps3 version that is, like, totally inferior to ps3.totally, like.lmfao,rofl,lol,1337, like.
edit: totally.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Yo dawg I heard you like comparisons

[0pie]

i cant wait for the ps3 slim vs the new ps3

[sdplisken]

ill wait for lens of truth to decide

[izumo_lee]

They both look similar to me, Naughty Dog did a good job optimizing the game for both systems.

Though i prefer the PS3 controller over the ps3 controller but that is just me.

[Gorilla_Killa_X]

Seriously guys? I'll wait til the retail versions are out to decide if the ps3 version looks better than the ps3 one. It's too early to tell now.

[Qrphe]

They're basically the same screenshot guys, let's stop this stupid console war between the PS3droids and the PS3bots. PS3 is better than PS3 anyway.

[Reverent]

PS3droids and PS3bots, haha. That one caught me off guard. Lol

[nealane]

cant wait to see the ps3 super slim version lol

[Eldyraen]

It'll look the same but only be in 2d :(

[smashcrashbash]

You guys are all crazy. Anyone who thinks the PS3 version looks better then the PS3 version of LTOU needs to get his eyes checked.I mean use your eyes. The PS3 version is clearly miles better then the PS3 version.Geez get some glasses people.

[Cueil]

you so full of it! There is clearly 3 more hair rendered in the PS3 version and the PS3 version clearly has 12 less polygons!

[josephayal]

The Last Of Us Will Change Games Forever

[Human Analog]

Yeah... Only if you get the version on the left. The other one might as well be from a PS2 port.

[sjaakiejj]

The Ps3 version has a large install size though, so I'll get the Ps3 version instead.

[Scenarist]

.....:P

[JAM_brz]

I'm pissed. Actually, the site troll us all. No one noted, but there's just one image, the right and the left images combined together show us that in some moment in the game we'll find our twin brother, Joel Junior (which in fact was born before our playable Joel).

OMG, how we didn't noted that before?

[Braid]

If you actually look closely you'll notice that Joel has less hair in his nostrils in the PS3 version. But I'm planning on getting the PS3 version anyway, as that's where my online homies will be. Homies are always important because you play with homies all the time. Can't let my homies down, no sir I can't.

[DaReapa]

"If you actually look closely you'll notice that Joel has less hair in his nostrils in the PS3 version."
LMAO! Nice.

[Studio-YaMi]

I never gave so many likes in all the threads I visited combined ! xD

You guys are AWESOME ! best LOL moments ever hahaha!
sick of all the fanboy wars :(

[Relientk77]

Same I can't believe how many agrees I'm handing out to comments on this lol

[RudeSole Devil]

I think the Xbox 360 version wins here.

[Eyesoftheraven]

Wish it was coming to PC.

[camel_toad]

How dare you!

[Bathyj]

This reminds me of the time I beat myself.

[hardcorehippiez]

damn it i was going to get the ps3 version but saying its the inferior version i think ill dust of my Ps3 and get it for that instead . its about time i shown my Ps3 some love anyways :/

[OC_MurphysLaw]

What, what? So confused... I like the one on the left better

[Neo-Axl]

Pft! I'll be getting the superior PS3 version at launch!

when you guys have to wait 6 months for the crappy PS3 version to launch!.

(This article is full of Win.)

[Max-Zorin]

This article made my day.

[banjadude]

lol, too bad I can't screencap all these awesome comments!

[Killman]

I would screenshot them all if I had a PS3. Sadly, I am stuck with a stupid PS3.

[banjadude]

bwahaha, good one :)

[Platinum_k]

It's not fair. The PS3 screenshots weren't gameplay footage as opposed to the PS3 version.

[sly-Famous]

This is one of the best articles Iv ever read on N4G, which isnt that big of a feat, but seriously, this is very well said.

[Neo-Axl]

I won't be getting the PS3 version, The box art looks nowhere near as good as the PS3 version's box art.

Should look good amongst my PS3 collection.

[Hallow]

Damn! Now I wish I would have bought a PS3 instead of a PS3.

[P_Bomb]

LMFAO, this thread is destined for N4G Greatest Hits.

If it was online I might've bought it for my PS3 since most of my friends are on PS3 and I prefer playing for free instead of playing for free, but since it's single player only I'm gonna buy it for my PS3, and maybe just rent it for PS3 later.

[TheSaint]

Trolllololol the PS3 version will suck, that's why only the pro's and hardcore will be getting it for PS3.

[devilhunterx]

inb4SDF...damn

[indubitably]

This entire comments section is an embarrassment.
Does everyone really think they are THAT clever?

[trouble_bubble]

Do you? You don't even have or like PS3 per your own quotes:

1)"Ratchet & Clank is literally the only reason I want a PS3"
2)"The fact that there are more disagrees with this proves n4g is mostly sony fanboys"
3)"Well at least he found a way to use the awful ps3 controller"
4)"Big Daddys from Bioshock are more of an xbox exclusive if anything since it released for it first"

The article itself was spoofing with that header. That was the point of the article and the screenshot comparison of the same screenshot. A little run 'n' gun with fun 'n' pun. You're trolling a parody.

[indubitably]

What does my comment have to do with the PS3? I was just saying how unfunny the jokes everyone is trying to make in these comments are. It is the same "oh but the PS3 one does indeed look a bit better" joke over and over. I even saw someone post "legendary thread" as if this was the most clever string of jokes ever created.

Also, my only troll comment was the third one, the rest are legitimate.

[Bathyj]

As your name says.

[VonBraunschweigg]

STFU and pick a version. Now what's it gonna be?

[TheSaint]

If you don't like something don't post in it, pretty simple really. Or is even that too simple for you?

[mayberry]

You should be aressted and tried for treason if you dont get the "sony playstaion 3" version over the inferior "ps3" crap!

[mrmancs]

how dare they use a picture of a dead cat in this article! I am going to rt this on twitter to show my distaste! *laughs*

[VonBraunschweigg]

I sure hope it's coming to PS3 as well. Too bad there's no news on that, only time will tell.

[Zefros]

This is way to funny, comments are awesome =P.

[OooHJohnny]

The PS3 version has no grass...

[Aghashie]

Epic! Funniest comments I have ever read on any article, ever!

By the way, you are such a fanboys. The PS3 version looks better than the PS3 version anytime. End of discussion.

[JAM_brz]

I think i will buy both versions of the game, to enjoy what each one has best to offer.

[MYSTERIO360]

The ps3 version has a lot more textures compared to the ps3.

[Lordchunk]

The PS3 looks shitty the PS3 beats it by a mile.....

[TisMayo]

This is gold.

[hardcorehippiez]

yea thank the heavens for a little bit of humour this place was getting kinda dull for a while. still getting the Ps3 version tho :p

[outsider1624]

I don't know about you guys..if there's multiplayer then i'm not getting the PS3 version....i'm getting the ps3 version. Who wants to pay to play online...

[Cam977]

ND are working on MP!

[Saturne3]

Well PS3 version it is

[violents]

I love all these comments. ROFLMAO!

But seriously its about friggen time someone addressed the fact that a lot of so called gaming journalism is a flamebait joke. Get a clue and some integrity if your going to.call yourself a journalist.

[TheObserver]

Haha! You dumb PS3 fanboys. If your PS3s are so powerful, how come 90% of PS3 games run better on PS3s? Who cares about PS3 exclusives, PS3 exclusives are better anyway.

[Heavenly King]

funny thread XD

[ziggurcat]

haha, i thought that was going to be an early vs. late development cycle comparison of tlou :(

[JAM_brz]

LOL

me too

[Pwnage18202]

Ok everyone settle down. We all know who the clear winner is. If you look at the hair nostrils and the colors you can surely tell that the PS3 version is a fuckton better than the PS3 version. I mean use your eyes people the PS3 version is crap. So thank god I'll be buying the PS3 version of the game. PS3 SUCKS......but......... PS3 RULEZZZZZZ!!!!!!! PS3 FTW

[Cam977]

Hhhhmmmm... It's hard to decide, but I think the Ps3 version wins.

[Relientk77]

After seeing this screenshot comparison I feel like a complete idiot for buying a PS3. I am gonna go throw out my PS3 and go to the store and buy a PS3

[TheGameTagerZ]

If you look to your left the PS3 is obviously more brighter and more crisp than the PS3 version.

I know what I'm buying this holiday season.

[HappyWithOneBubble]

I haven't laughed this much from a N4G thread in a long time. Made my day.

[RandomDude655]

Naughty dog you have shot yourself in the foot. Stop being fanboys and releasing on ps3. Us true ps3 gamers will take our business elsewhere. Naughty Dog stop releasing on ps3 and release on ps3 or you can kiss my money goodbye .

AmIDoingThisRite?

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

Im waiting for the 360 version!

[nikoado]

You can clearly see framerate issues in the picture of the ps3 version on the left.

I'm getting the ps3 version so it'll run much smoother.
