So holding developers to a standard is ruining gaming?
As soon as developers can consistently deliver a quality product on both platforms the better. Then the real war can begin, the war of exclusives. Then, the PS3 will be the sure fire victor.
I agree that the PS3 is a VERY powerful system. But here is the issue. It will only shine with 1st party games and exclusives. I have said it before, I think of my PS3 like I do my Wii. It offers amazing experiences when it comes to the exclusives. But everything else is just a gamble.
So the bigger question is can you judge a systems success only on exclusives? I am not sure you can.
Of course PS3 ONLY owners wouldn't notice or care. But those that don't play this whole "fanboy" game, would like to know the truth.
I originally was going to pick this up on my PS3 because it was supposedly the lead development platform. Then I saw these comparisons and we all know now that was a load of crap...
But it is worth saying that if you have ONLY a PS3, pick up the PS3 version. But if you have a choice, pick up the Xbox 360 version and stay away ...
Both versions tear in Ghostbusters. You can clearly see it in all of the comparison videos.
For those of you that haven't seen the high resolution captures done by the guys at Beyond3d, this might change your mind:

Not to mention this quote from one of the main analysts:
"There is nothing wrong with MazingerDUDE's analysis of Ghostbusters. I mean, the difference is night and day and I have retail code for both. It's ...
Who cares if it is a forum post. That didn't stop "Lens of Truth Ghostbusters Comparison: Not True at All" ( http://n4g.com/News-347268.... from going to the TOP ROW!
Approved.

they said many times in their live cast that it was the stores preview copy (the one they put on display) and was lent to them for the night. Never sold so the street date wasn't broken.
Update on their site in regards to the Game Trailers comparison:

I am glad to see these guys stand up for themselves. They have proven time after time they have nothing to hide.
Update on their site. They now show that their PS3 video capture quality matches that of Game Trailers. So, something is definitely up with the PS3 version.
Are you guys crazy? Most of the time in this comparison they are zoomed out by at least 25% to show BOTH, full 16x9 screens. You can't tell anything from this distance. Then when they were close you in can see that the textures on the PS3 are clearly lower resolution. Not to mention there is an overall blur to everything on the PS3. I would have liked for them to focus on more objects like the Lens of Truth did.
This was just posted to their website:

yeah, I don't trust IGN anymore. I went to check this game out on their site and they simply copy/paste their review. Not to mention they use the SAME images in both the Xbox 360 and PS3 gallery.

I think you give these guys to much credit. If the team at Lens of Truth can selectively blur textures, retain hard edges on specific objects, lower shadow quality, and motion track texture compression artifacts all while running in 1280x720 video then of course this video is fake. Seriously, these guys would be working for ILM.
I am watching the stream now. So far they are looking quite close.
