No need for such comparisons, Console gamers dont care about graphics(atleast they claim not to, specially when PC versions are added to comparison lol).
This is the hottest Sleeping Dogs article in a while. It's like people that didn't care much about the game now suddenly pretend to because it's a graphical comparison. You guys sicken me.
There's no lack of DOF. What you are seeing is the sharpness in PC textures vs console. What you think is DOF on console is actually a low res blurry texture.
comparisons meh i beat it yesterday on the PS3, and not only did the game look great on my 46" plasma with the best settings it was fun as hell. more fun than when i played GTA4.
these comparisons are worthless and are just for those people who like arguing back and forth like little children.
tordavis said "There's no lack of DOF. What you are seeing is the sharpness in PC."
Yes, the PC is sharper but no - the DOF is obviously lacking. It's too bad too. I don't care if the PC version is capable of higher resolution textures, the DOF they pull of in the console version gives a much more impressive, cinematic feel overall. I'd rather they use lower resolution textures in the background and employ depth of field then make everything so sharp everything looks unnatural. That's just my personal preference though.
Cutscenes that are rendered in game. They're not prerecorded, thus, the graphics card is still do the rendering on fly. Yes it accurately depicts the game.
How to tell the difference between comparisons (imo).
Xbox 360: Slightly darker than PS3. PS3: Slightly lighter than Xbox 360. Center: If you haven't figured it out before Xbox 360 and PS3, then you will after.
I commented about how to tell the difference, not which one is better. Some people prefer the graphics of Xbox 360 over PS3 and vice versa, I don't mind either. The differences are minimal at best.
Well the Xbox definately won this one. I just jumped over to lensoftruth and saw a screenshot comparison for the latest transformers game and I was shocked at how much better the Xbox version was than the ps3. Wow.
@ mewhy32- It isn't shocking since the Unreal engine is very PC friendly, that's why the games tend to look better on 360 since is the exact same architecture... Unreal isn't too friendly on PS3!!!
my ps3 far more powerful than most pc its got 8 processors beat that and its got ram thats about 4 times quicker than pc plus only cost £150 in 2008 most pc nerds *specky + no girl friends or real friends spent 10 times that in last 4 years and to cap it all sony make easyly the best exclusives uncharted beyond last ov us and ps3 owners have sun tans because they actually go outside and dont sit in dark bedrooms by kevdee
The PC version does lack depth of field. tordavis obviously doesn't know what they're talking about, console games have had good DOF effects for years now, it's not exclusive to powerful PC's, the only areas the PC outdoes consoles in terms of graphics is anti-aliasing, resolution and sometimes tessellation (when done well). Considering how much more powerful a good PC can be the games don't look much better than the best on 6/7 year old consoles, I guess this upsets PC gamers who wasted all that money on only marginally better visuals when they could have just bought a console and had access to the best games in the industry which are mostly not available on PC.
There are a few options in the PS3's video settings that take care of the washed out look, not many people seem to know about them but when switched, everything becomes much sharper. I guarantee you that any comparisons from any websites never have these options changed.
PS3 version looks great and is FAR from being washed out. Its dynamic range allows your TV's own contrast, color and brightness preset to not "damage" the overall picture. Your TV will not display a flat image. So even though a noob's eyes may be tricked, more contrast does not equal better picture.
On the other hand, why is the 360 version so damn dark? It loses detail in dark areas. And why is the PC version like depth of field (from these pics)?
A more in-depth comparison than just screenshots of cut-scenes.
"On Microsoft's system, Sleeping Dogs adopts a native 1200x720 presentation, with an 80-pixel horizontal upscale to 720p, while on the PS3 we're looking at a much lower 1152x640, which has more severe implications with regards to overall image quality."
"Generally there are lower levels of screen-tear on the Xbox 360 too. Conversely, the tearing can be quite unsightly on the PS3, with the tear-line moving up and down the screen creating a juddering effect, and this isn't helped by the more variable frame-rate which drops lower - and for longer."
"The Xbox 360 game appears to enjoy higher-resolution normal maps and textures (top) and has less aggressive LODs, as you'll see in the bottom shots."
And so on. Seems like the PS3 version is gimped. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone anymore looking at 3rd party console games.
60 lines less? Sorry. Couldn't tell the difference while actually playing the game on a TV.
Only thing noticeable was how dark the 360 version is and how any detail in dark areas is lost. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone anymore looking at 3rd party games.
@ NathanExplosion I bet $100 that if it was the PS3 version that came out on top you would be able to tell the difference, and LOL at your "lost detail in the dark spots", spin. You guys are nothing if not entertaining. Keep trollin, trollin,trollin.
Nope, still wouldn't be able to tell much of a difference.
However, the darkness level is no spin. Look at these screenshots. 360 version is full of black crush. And your TV will most likely increase the contrast.
Could be or it could be that they remember how lazy some devs have been. He did PC always wins and not PC almost always wins.
Rage comes to mind as an example. Any Ubisoft game is another. What about a PC/PS3/360 comparison on Red Dead Redemption? I know its not on PC at all but that is kind of the point I'm sure I could find more if I looked into it.
While nobody can argue that the PC has the potential to be the best, a lot of developers this gen have also been sloppy in their work
@ zoid2012 ummm i guess you havent played assassins creed on pc with 1080p, everything on ultra and with AA maxed aswell as AF maxed. IT kicks the crap out of console versions however all versions have crappy facial graphics.
Pc may win in graphics, but lack a lot of other things. Rockstar games come on console first and sometimes don't even make it to pc, plus pc doesn't have some of the good exclusives like uncharted, little big planet, gears of war, and so on. No disrespect towards pc I'm just pointing out that pc isn't perfect either.
PC has tons of exclusives, a lot more than you apparently think, and a lot of them are equally as good (I won't say better because I enjoy both my PS3 and PC). Dota 2, Total War series, Star Craft 2, Amnesia: The Dark Descent [ I <3 Frictional Games ].
Rockstar games are not the entire gaming industry ;)
Anyway we are already seeing a change with Rockstar as Max Payne 3 (PC easily the best and released soon after consoles) pointed out. So if thats the quality we can expect from GTA 5 then its gonna be all roses and dx11.
I love my ps3 exclusives but if i had the choice id rather play uncharted or the last of us, killzone on a gaming PC in native 1080p with dx11 and msaaX16 etc...the one thing about pc that pisses me off is having amazing hardware but faulty drivers and poorly optimized games lead to graphics glitches. Im not the greatest with computers i love the graphics benefits but damn the maintenance on pc to make it possible sometimes is a pain in the ass.
You really got to experience the game with everything maxed out and high resolution texture pack. Finally AA and 3D vision the game looks really beautiful.
In the middle you have the representation of the: PC Wins her her her, i definetelly have to say this every article because im insecure and blah blah freaking blah. Crysis looks better.
On the left we have the: Ehrmegerd, You dont say? OMG so much better than PS3, I am also insecure because the internet recognizes my system as the weakest of the three platforms, and i also still live with my mom.
And on the right: Ehrmehgerd PC, shut up. you could probably insert a bunch of tech jargon and come to the conclusion these guys know a few words but dont know what any of them mean. :O OMG MOAR Insecure people because they bought supposedly the most powerful platform even though it doesnt show in 90% of games.
Dislike if I offended you by being at least 66% correct!
Dislike only because of the "I know you are but what am I" mentality of throwing a statement at the end insinuating any dislikes automatically makes them support your post.
The 360 visuals are sharper but also a little too dark for my taste, it loses some of the important details and I prefer they way shadows are rendered on the ps3
Left: 360, Center: PC, Right: PS3.
Where's my cookie?
Grear work Square Enix.
PC always wins.
PC wins of course.
But i actually prefer the colour of the PS3 shots.
All good tbh, played the demo on all 3 systems anyway,lol and will be picking it up.
The pc and 360 look very similar while the ps3 version easily looking the worst ps3 version looks washed out and less detailed.
