It was already a good game, despite one version being a bit blurry compared to the other version. I play games, not graphical comparisons. I'm about half way through at this point and I haven't been disappointed. A bump in resolution wasn't necessary, but I'll never complain about a game being improved in any way. How many developers would have even bothered?
At the end of the day we know the PS3 is the graphical champ, because we've seem the evidence time and time again with its exclusives (and even multiplats like Batman or Burnout for example). The question was never one about if the hardware was capable of putting out stunning visuals, we know it can. The question has always been on the developers ability to deliver stunning visuals.

Also, consider the source. Eurogamer has been busted time and time again for not fact checking, bashing articles, reviews of games they've hardly played, etc..etc. It's rather telling that EurogamerTV content is all over Xbox Live.

@ IdleLeeSiuLung. First off, Ghostbusters is a good game and if you're a fan of the series you owe it to yourself to give it a try. If it's not your thing, there are hundreds great games available on each console that you can play instead. If every bad game released was a "kick in the nuts" to console owners, 360 and Wii owners would be walking funny for life.

Again, this isn't one of those games. This game whole lot of fun and it's the dialog between the Ghostbusters that really makes this title work.

Because multiplats determine a system's full potential.

Yes, you are right there are plenty of games on each console. My comment wasn't meant as a stab on Sony themselves or the console, but rather at the developer. I tried the game on the 360 and it definitely wasn't for me.

However, I just think that they released a shoddy version on the PS3 especially after the timed exclusive in Europe for Sony. I'm glad they didn't hold back the 360 version though to match. If they would have done that, no-one would have been the wiser.

However, I just bought Resident Evil 5 Collector's Edition for the PS3 at Fry's for $35!!! Yay!!!

I just re-read your post and realized I missed your question. I'm sure the 360 has had a some bad ports, but none at the level of Ghostbuster or Orange Box.

Take what you will from that.

Terminator Salvation was terrible on the 360 versus the PS3. The graphics were all messed up, textures and lighting missing and terrible screen tears, all which where non-existent on the PS3 version according to LOT. The phrase "PS3 wins this Head2Head in a land slide," was used.

Wanted was another titles that had serious issues on the 360 when the PS3 didn't have any.

Riddick and Star Wars: Forced unleashed had huge performance issues on the 360 and not on the PS3. Mirror's Edge apparently had issues on the 360 that would "leave you cringing."

No bad ports on the 360? Think again. These were also some very high profile games. The question is, why weren't we subjected to endless articles about how "gimped" these games were on the 360 like the endless stream of Ghostbusters articles, when the problem has now been addressed?

You are right.

The difference is still huge.
Even after:

-ps3 lead
-ps3 patch

The fact that this game was lead on ps3 and patched, yet still looks soo much better on 360 is just embarrassing.

If I owned a ps3 I'd be very angry.

If you didn't want to play Ghostbusters, you'd play another game. There's lots of them.

Personally, I love Ghostbusters. I'm a fan of the movies, and the game has been great. Why would I be mad at a great game that I enjoy playing? Because a texture is out of place on one version over the other? I don't play textures, I play games.

That comment, "I'd be mad if I were a PS3 owner." That just makes no sense to me.

"Because a texture is out of place on one version over the other?"
... wrong. It is out of place ONLY on the ps3.

the game was lead on ps3 ... and was gimped.
the game was patched on ps3 ... and was STILL gimped.

Given the above, it is easy to imagine many ps3 owners feeling angry about all this. Testament to this are the hundreds of posts by ps3 owners in the ghostbusters threads that did, in fact, echo these sentiments exactly.

If you enjoy the game, then why not play it, instead of defending the proven gimped ps3 version at every turn?
You seem stuck in a repeating ps3 defence loop.
Surely even a fanboy like you gets sick of ps3 defence now and then?

Off you go then, go and play the inferior ps3 ghostbusters game.
Yay for darkie, who steadfastly holds the ps3 ghostbusters last line of defence.

Sony's cheque is in the mail, right?
If not, then it should be.

Can you use the word "gimped" anymore? You're becoming a bit of a one trick pony. The PS3 version of Ghostbusters has a metacritic score of 78. That means, the vast majority of professional videogame reviwers out there recommend this game and think it's tops.

So either they're wrong or you, who doesn't own a PS3, doesn't play the PS3 and has never played this game, are the one who's wrong.

I've played the game. I know it's a great game. There's no doubt in my mind that you're talking about something you know nothing about.

How can you call a game "gimped" when you've never played it and the majority of reviewers are saying the exact opposite.

It has nothing to do with your console war nonsense and everything to do with common sense. You need to stop pretending your a gamer because clearly you have no love of video games, it's just all about the console wars with you. I can't believe you expend so much effort bashing something you've never played.

They said it was lead, it's very obvious it wasn't.

I find it more suitable to take a stab at Terminal Reality rather than the fanboys.

"Xbox 360 wins this by a landslide. If we didn’t know any better we would have thought the Ghostbusters was developed on the Xbox 360 and ported, poorly, to the PlayStation 3. However all sources indicate the PS3 was the lead, and so you’ve got an issue on your hands. Either someone is lying, or the porting team does better work then the lead team. Don’t believe the lies, buy this game on the Xbox 360."
