Alpha Protocol: PC vs. Xbox 360 & PS3 - A graphics comparison

Alpha Protocol is out now for PC, Playstation 3 and of course Xbox 360. But which platform offers the best graphics? Is it the PC? The following screenshots (PC) are made with 1.280 x 1.024 pixels, the console shots are in 720p. Take a look through the link.

Meh. Looks all the same. The only way to get the exact comparison is from Eurogamer analysis and LoT. Those 2 sites takes forever to release their comparison though...

[sikbeta]

It's good to see comparisons and all, but... This Game is Already OUT? since when?

I didn't see Any Review of It...

[booni3]

because it isnt like you didnt know it was coming.

[Alcon Caper]

Pretty sure PC has a twinge more deet...

[HolyOrangeCows]

The console versions are identical, and the PC version has higher res textures.

@4 and 4.2
Wow, you guys have lost it. Delusional people...
Hallmark, they have the same resolution and AA, I don't know what your delusional mind is picking up in the screen you posted.

[peeps]

need some reviews, not comparisons.

The game is out in the UK today and so far i think i've seen 2 reviews one giving it 8/10 (a score like that means i'm likely to pick it up) and one giving it 5/10 =/ obv quite a contrast

[xg-ei8ht]

Poor looking game whatever the system tbh.

[Chris_TC]

Yup, it looks pretty abysmal on all systems.
The only difference appears to be the contrast. Looking at the very first comparison, the two hotspots on the man's face (forehead and cheek) are blown out to white on both consoles while the PC holds the detail.

[Wrathman]

well we all know before we look at this wot platform is superior and which is worst.

pc
xbox
ps3

*looks at article*

well wotAya know..IM RIGHT

[bjornbear]

you aren't =)

[Hallmark Moment]

Surprisingly you have the order wrong.

Judging by the lighting, color and contrast it's:

1st 360(360 always ahead of both PC and PS3 in this screens)
2nd PS3(sometimes PC is a head PS3)
3rd PC(sometimes PS3 is ahead of PC)

Less jaggies in the 360 version.

This site always annoys me. But only because the pc versions are never compared with filters, clearly again no AA on the pc versions. Secondly, its retarded using a 5:4 res like 1280 x 1024 against 16:9 ones when everyone knows that 1280 x 720 is gonna be selectable in the game too.

[Nihilism]

haha, I agree, I remember 720p, it was a great resolution...when doom 3 came out.

AA and AF are also not new tech, they should learn to tick the box next to them

You can't expect much though, i'm sure they are using a 48cm CRT TV to play-test the console versions, and a P4 rig with a 15" CRT monitor, they must be with that res...

They they'll conclude:

"There was barely any difference between 720p and 1080p in our tests"

[DelbertGrady]

Judging by how crappy their "articles" are I doubt they can afford a PC with a graphics card that does more than 720p and AA.

[hoops]

I find when they compare PC games to consoles at ANY site they NEVER put on IQ filters. No AA. No AF. Nothing.

[BeaArthur]

I always love comparisons for games that don't look good no matter what platform you are playing it on.

[R_aVe_N]

They all look about the same and I have to say that it looks better than what I thought it did honestly. I am running out to pick it up shortly. From what I hear it is a really good game for the most part.

[Chaotic_Lament]

Can't tell the difference between the PS3 and 360 versions, so I'll lean toward the one with the better framerate.

[joydestroy]

can we get a comparison with LoT please? and with everything turned up on high on PC? i mean c'mon, it's supposed to have higher res textures.

[hiredhelp]

Try a 1900 res lol this joke.doesnt even say the graphics card.on pc. RULE NUMBER 1
NEVER COMPARE A PC VERSION OF ANY GAME.UNLESS YOU INTEND TO USE A GOOD GRAPHICS CARD WITH ALL OPTIONS TO HIGH.
RULE 2.COMPARE IT TO A REAL PC GAME. OH WAIT CONSOLES NOT AHAEAD OF PC'S YET.
rule 3. HHMMMM ..... ???? ANY SUGGESTIONS. OH YEH THESE COMPARISON SITES SUCK ALL THE SAME.
LETS ALL PLAY WITH PAINT SHOP PRO OR ADOBE

[FernandoMartinez]

Wow, you're one bitter person...

fyi: The article says they used an average PC on high details.

[hoops]

The funny part is a $100-$150 GPU will run 95% of games at 1900x1600 res with 4xAA. They must be doing these comparisons with a P4 PC with a 9700pro inside. lol

[FernandoMartinez]

Anyway, the PS3 and 360 versions look the same to the naked eye.

[karlowma]

1280x1024, come on. And yes, if you're including PC in a comparison, you max the settings and resolution. Some of us actually own computers that aren't 8 years old. Also, my shitty cellphone takes larger pictures than the ones you have posted. How are you supposed to tell anything from an ubercompressed 320x240 image? And while I'm ranting (and saying uber), why does half the "news" linked on N4G originate in Deutschland? Let's have a flag next to the articles on the main page, or a way to filter out non-english content. It's not like there isn't enough bullshit in my own language to fill the page.

Lol this era is magnificient , if tetris was a 2010 game , folks would be fighting over its screenshots .

Someone would obviously come along with his "xx console version is superior" , because there would be a missing pixel somewhere that he can't stop noticing , because some site told him about him .

[Blitzkid]

Looks not good for the xbox. Another game that looks worse on it!

[fullmetal297]

I hate it when they din't post the PC specs and the settings its running on.

[hoops]

They never post the PC specs NOR DO they ever use AA or AF in the comparisons.
