the ps3 shots are ever so slightly sharper but, as the guy points out, not completely noticable unless you're specifically looking for a difference. Of course, the real test is later on in the console cycle...but by then most gamegeeks will have made up their minds and Joe Bloggs will be waiting for the first price drop.
We all know 90% of titles will come out on both PS3 & Xbox360 and you won't really be able to tell the difference. The other 10% everyone will want, Gears of War, Virtua Fighter 4, MGS 4, Halo 3, GT5, Forza 2. It's the games that matter, and we want them all!
either the ps3 shots were slightly sharper or the 360 version had better lighting effects considering sharpness wont be a factor in HD, im going to go ahead and say that there were more lighting effects in the 360 version.
häh ??? the quality of the video is so bad, and you want say the xbox360 has better lightning ? the only think you can see is that the xbox360 version is brighter, thats all.
How is it "obvious" that the cross-platform games will be the same?
From the fanboy tripe I have read from clowns like SSJ (and his minions of aliases) and even from you on occasion, the PS3 is supposed to be VASTLY superior to the XBox 1.5, right? Well, how come this VASTLY superior PS2.5 can't display a superior game on the cross-platform titles? Think about it, the cross-platform games of this gen ALL looked better and noticeably so on XB1 versus PS2.
A little consistency would be nice. Either the PS3 is superior to the XB360 and it will show in game graphics (and that INCLUDES cross-platform titles) or it is on equal footing with the 360 and there will be little to no difference in graphcis performance across the board. To say that PS3 will only look better than XB360 when running first party software is BS.
well, you're right and you're wrong. The problem with the last gen was that xbox was actually capable of 720p, and most of the cross-platform games took advantage of that. The PS3 really wasn't capable of the higher resolutions, except a few games like God of War...which I dont even think was 720p I think it was only 480P versus the normal 480i.
Also, we don't know what console they are creating the "original" copy of the game on. The devs will know which system will have the least "power", and they will create the game on that platform and then cross over with little tweaking other then button layout for the other platforms. In the case of the xbox last gen, all they did was increase resolution on many games and that is why they looked better. This gen will be different because all are capable of same resolutions.
So I agree that we shouldn't use cross-platformers as a benchmark, but we also can't expect one to look better then the other on these types of games like we saw in the last gen (other then PS3 and Xbox 360 looking better then the Wii because nobody will argue that it is unable to produce the same graphics as the other two).
you finally made our points. You finally admitted the the 360 is next gen. You said that you know that cross platform games will look the same. lol...Thats hilarious. So now people have to decide Halo 3, Gears of War, and GTA 4 or Grand Tourismo next year, and um...well nothing is really confirmed as launch yet. Interesting. So lets break that down. 300 dollars plus the games you want that look the same as 600 dollars and no jump in quality. Lets so a gamer only likes sports games. Which system should he get? I'm just glad you can admit that both are next gen and both are going to be the same with 3rd party games and there is a 200 dollar price difference for it. But I agree the 360 version of sonic did look like it had better lighting. But thats to be expected. The 360 was made for games only and the ps3 was intended for hd movie playback with the 7 dsp and the cell.
You're not completely right. The number of games on XBOX running in 720p was quit small seen on total number of games. So by a few (mostly even not cross platform I think but I should look into it), most XBOX games ran on 480p compared to 480i from PS2. That was the difference and just the XBOX had better hardware, GPU and the hardware was better tweaked and worked together better.
As is the same with the 360 compared other next gen consoles. In total it's made to display games at their best instead of doing raw power line ups what no one will use
The games on XB were better than GC (graphically) and they were both better than PS2. I know for a fact that the graphics on NCAA and Madden 2006 for XB were MUCH better than the graphics on PS2. The GAMEPLAY was almost identical - right down to the annoying glitches in AI - but the graphics showed a clear distinction in clarity and detail.
It was the same on other games as well, most notably the Splinter Cell series - which kicked ass on XB but was mediocre on PS2 (and yes I owned and oplayed both versions, so that is MY opinion, maybe not everyone elese....)
well first of all that guy hmm he was kinda fun ,, second it seams like the ps3 have more deaph in the coolor then the 360 but the 360 looks sharper,,, but i dont know,,, maby its youst the setups on the screen ,, i dont know,, damn its hard,, well i have a 360 and when the prise goes down 4 the ps3 i probebly will by one 2,, and yes ( and i know this dont have with this thread,, but i was thinkin,, the ps3 will have a OS, a linux os,, well linux is VEREY steady ,, but WHAT IF the linux chrashes? ,, ,,,
This argument could go on for days. Neither had sharper anything, or better lighted anything, or higher esolution anything. The subtle difference you saw was probably a different codec or something.
It's already been pointed out, but developers don't waste time and money optimising cross platform games. That's why cross platform games are rarely any good. This is precisely the same software and graphical strength, simply converted to the different hardware.
4 me the 360 has the games I like to play. Many PS titles are on the 360 now and the 360 has the better excusives not to mention XBL!! Its a no brainer 360 all the way!!! And What about load times on the ps3? Load times will be terrible!!
First off, I'm neither for PS3 or Xbox 360, I will enjoy both equally. Number 12, how can you say that load times on the PS3 will be terrible? Since xbox 360 game makers have to make all games playable on the lowest common denominator (IE the xbox 360 basic package) then they arn't making games with caching to a HDD. PS3 games will be able to cache to a HDD, much like the original xbox. So while you are playing one lvl, the game could be loading the next onto the HDD (assuming developers use the HDD in this way). Also, we don't even know the final specs on the blu-ray drive...it could be crazy fast...so please, before you make uneducated statements like "load times on the PS3 will be terrible", find some sort of proof to back up your statement.
Caching to the HDD is NOT a PS3 exclusive ability. The 360 COULD do that just as well, what could NOT do it is the Core 360 without a HDD add-on.
I don't want to put words in the OP's mouth, but I think the slow load time is a reference to the Blu-Ray's somewhat pedestrian load times for movies (somewhere around 25-30 seconds from disc to screen). I personally think that is a bad analogy, but I believe that was the original intent of saying the Blu_ray will suffere long load times.
(of course, I could be wrong, I frequently am....lol.)
There nutting to compare now..even if there was.xbox didn`t blow away ps2 or gamecube outta the water.same thing is gonna happend but this time around it`s pretty close between the 2 or maybe 3
I'll go with Microsoft, Sony nevers delivers on their hype. If you believe Sony's claims you're a fool. Sony's bussiness tactics are deciving, and Sony is very aware the average 8-16 year old kid eats up the hype. Xbox will always be better, always has and always will. Just wait it will be the same with the Blu-ray is better hype. DELAYSTATION!!!.
If you can't contribute anything positive to the forums...you might as well not post. Nobody here wants to read your fanboy garbage anymore. Go play your xbox 360, assuming you even have one, and leave the rest of us who actually want to have intellegent conversations alone. Thank you.
the ps3 shots are ever so slightly sharper but, as the guy points out, not completely noticable unless you're specifically looking for a difference. Of course, the real test is later on in the console cycle...but by then most gamegeeks will have made up their minds and Joe Bloggs will be waiting for the first price drop.
I could really give which one is more powerful. I get a console that has good games that I like.
We all know 90% of titles will come out on both PS3 & Xbox360 and you won't really be able to tell the difference. The other 10% everyone will want, Gears of War, Virtua Fighter 4, MGS 4, Halo 3, GT5, Forza 2. It's the games that matter, and we want them all!
either the ps3 shots were slightly sharper or the 360 version had better lighting effects considering sharpness wont be a factor in HD, im going to go ahead and say that there were more lighting effects in the 360 version.
lame comparison. they shouldnt compare multiplatform games, its obvious they will be the same.
