Skate 3: graphics comparison between Xbox 360 and PS3

Nearly no differences in texture quality, lightning or charakter designs. Skate 3 for PS3 and Xbox 360 got no graphical differences. Videogameszone made a Screenshot comparison.

360 version looks blurry

[sid4gamerfreak]

Skate 3 aint a very graphical mighty game is it? So the verdict is, both platforms it look crappy.

[vhero]

Do we really have to do this for EVERY multiplatform game??

[Hallmark Moment]

N4G needs to fix their Search engine. There was a article just a few days ago or a week that showed the 360 version was better. You can't trust Videogamezone. They often cheat pics in the defense of PS3.

Yep, but not much of a looker is it.

Bullshit article, i've never bought into these comparisons, give me full HD screen grabs that show the separate consoles buttons onscreen, ie: square circle/Y, B during tutorials and I might believe them! I remember the original Bioshock had some terribly Photoshopped screens done by an angry 360 fan when it went multiplat.

[MaximusPrime]

PS3 is EA's preferred console. (look at Mirror's edge for example)

LTC is right, 360 images look a little blurry but im sure that doesnt put gamers off.

well skate 2 had tons of clipping issues on the ps3 when it first came out and ran fine on the 360.

but they are slowly starting to move towards the ps3, for example, developing games like the upcoming medal of honor on the ps3 and then porting them.

[Corrwin]

A slow-paced (well, in comparing a skateboard to a car) Open world game with no civilians or traffic?

And this is the best they could get it to look on either?!?

[matey]

ps3 looks better and i want a skate it 2 for wii with high production values EA are not capable of making decent wii games this is why i only buy tigerwoods which is best on wii anyway but EA sort your budget for wii games u need 5 times the money u spend at the moment if CAPCOM can make games of the same quality as nintendo so can u

[forcefullpower]

They will always make multiplats identical on both consoles. I have a lot of the games they do these comparisons on and I play them on a 40" 1090P TV and both versions look generally identical. You would literally have to sit 20cm from he TV to notice and difference.

Which ever system you think is better they will generally be identical. Its those special goggles they people wear that change them,

[dardinkay]

The only game that "had" the noticeable difference graphics wise was Sega's Bayonetta. These screenshots look similar to me but we need the full HD comparison before we all jump the boat.

[Fishy Fingers]

They are native res comparison shots, when looking at the screens click "Bild in Originalgröße" in the right hand corner to see them in 1280x720.

[dardinkay]

I see now, thanks for the tip!

[Dylantalon1]

why bother with these comparisons when nothing tops killzone 2 , uncharted 1+2, mgs4, gt 5, wipeout hd, motorstorm1+2, resistance 2, heavy rain, g.o w 3, ratchet and clank, and a lot of other ps3 exclusives.

'10 nissan gtr and a '10 mustang gt do the same time from a rolling start to 1320ft but '10 nissan gtr can do a better time when both are at full throttle.

[dirthurts]

Some people play multiplatform games?

[edhe]

Logic's not allowed.

[dirthurts]

My bad.

[dirthurts]

But honestly, neither version looks very good. Can they not make the engine any better?

[edhe]

The articles from this site for comparison are guff. Stick with the more serious comparisons from LoT or DF.

[iforgotmylogin]

I hope this doesn't turn into the next tony hawk.

[Dylantalon1]

my previous point is that if people cared a lot about graphics then they need a ps3 because no other gaming company's exclusives or multiplatform games can equate to any of the top ps3 exclusives. even if i were to purchase a multiplatform game then i would be buying a mediocre game or games that isnt up to par with ps3 exclusives so why would a person care if the said game has a better lighting or whatever else when its barely noticeable.

[The Wood]

was a decent rebuttal...i wasnt sure how you could of done it...:)

anyhow the multiplatform pixel difference argument died last year for 95% of games and may of those that did shine one way or the other were crap.

[maxcer]

if kz2 is so superior, why do i find myself playing BFBC2 and gears instead of that game?

[chadwardenreturns]

Well its more common to see superior graphics on the multiplatz seeing as more devs are using the spu's properly in multiplatform development.

[peeps]

my main worry is framer rate tbh. owned skate 2 on ps3 and enjoyed it but at times the frame rate was really sluggish and could visibly see it slow down when entering certain areas, particularly those with large numbers of ppl walking about.

for a game that revolves a lot around timing I'll go for the version which offers the most stable frame rate

[BYE]

From playing the demo I think Skate 3 somehow looks even worse than Skate 1.

The gameplay is fun though.

[hesido]

The game targets 60fps visuals, which makes it very pleasing to look at. That means it has to put out twice as many frames as most good looking mentioned here. It sure "looks" slightly worse than Skate 1, but it sure looks very smooth when it achieves the 60fps, and in the demo, it was quite well at that.

[likedamaster]

I saw a little spec on the floor that's not on the 360 version. True story.

[iamgoatman]

Every Skate game has looked almost identical on both platforms, the difference was always in the performance. Both PS3 versions of Skate 1 & 2 suffered heavily from slow downs and screen tearing, with the 360 version of 2 also suffering quite badly from FPS drops in populated areas.

Got to remember this game runs at 60FPS, with pretty much every graphical intense game on either console running at half that, so it's not going to be a "looker". I just hope this time round the frame rate is smooth, and won't plummet whenever a car comes on screen.
