Face-Off: Vanquish - Digital Foundry

Digital Foundry: "Vanquish is the best fun I've had in ages and well worth its 9/10 Eurogamer review score. The only question remaining concerns whether the unstinting praise applies to both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of Platinum Games' latest release."

side by side look identical. PS3 has better v sync and 360 adds fewer more FPS and better controller response

zootang5306d ago

Why is the PS3 11.5gb and X360 only 6.5gb?

boing5306d ago (Edited 5306d ago )

may have something to do with cut scenes

Chug5306d ago (Edited 5306d ago )

May have something to do with dvd limitations.

Edit: Wow, both versions look almost identical though.

Anton Chigurh5306d ago (Edited 5306d ago )

Maybe less compression because of 256MB ram.

There is also a dummy data to decrease the loading times.

Theonik5306d ago (Edited 5306d ago )

I think the PS3 has JP, ENG, Italian and French voices. Well and better sound overall.
Edti: @Disagree, i can 100% confirm that the PS3 has those tracks. Do you have a better explanation for the size difference? Does the 360 have multiple tracks too?

darthv725306d ago

dont let variations in platforms limit themselves from developing a quality product.

That is what sets them apart from the mediocre ones.

This is not the days of SNES vs Genesis.

vsr5306d ago

developers are now realizing that they should treat consumers as per their machines. Otherwise what's the reason to have 3 different consoles?

PS3 is the choice , anyway xbox only owners should buy this for their console.

Better shadowing on PS3 also.

Antan5306d ago

"Just about the only issue we did notice on a consistent basis was a difference in shadowing, which seems to favour PS3. In these shots you can see shadowing that's either omitted completely or else suffering from "shadow acne" on the 360."

Highlife5306d ago

Alot of times it is because of the audio. PS3 has better audio uncompressed.

Persistantthug5306d ago

And before anyone disagrees and whatnot...here it is.

Definitely a noticeable difference....not gamebreaking, but noticeable.

developers should take notes from platinum games and mercury steam

Shaman5306d ago

Not really Mercury Steam.Platinum games and Lucas Arts ;) I mean...CLOS is running at ~25fps on either platform without AA...thats just...bad.

CREESH5306d ago

PS3 cant match lead 360 games
Go figure?

ExPresident5306d ago

All of the killer PS3 Exclusives say hi.

Belasco5306d ago

PS3 exclusives arent all that special in my honest opinion, save for Uncharted 2, which I did complete.

asyouburn5306d ago

neither are 360 exclusives. why is it that 360 exclusives cant hit 720p?

TheBlackSmoke5306d ago

"PS3 exclusives arent all that special in my honest opinion, save for Uncharted 2, which I did complete."

Keep reading what you wrote until you understand how oxymoronic it is.

And to the original commenter. You must be confused, just becasue it is lead on PS3 this does not mean that the game utilizes the full power of it. They know before hand the game is to be on 360 so that is in mind when making the PS3 version. The reason they make PS3 the lead is for a better porting process, nothing more.

sayonara895306d ago

Castlevania is the best looking multiplatform game and 360 version have worse framerate.
Go figure?

boing5306d ago

another stooge who doesnt know thew difference between retail and review code

smithdown5306d ago

Errr nooo. The 360 was the lead platform for Bayonetta, ported over by some crappy third party company who clearly didn't know what they were doing. PS3 was the lead platform for Vanquish and more care was taken by Platinum to port it properly (and they are now familiar with both consoles) hence platform parity.

Man alive there are some rabid, mouth-breathing fanboys on N4G...

Optical_Matrix5306d ago

Final Fantasy XIII and Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 say hi. Also when you compare Halo Reach graphics to Killzone 3, Gears 3 to Uncharted 2, heck just about any top exclusive 360 game compared to PS3's top exclusive games graphics, that makes your statement even more obsolete.

Information Minister5306d ago

Games have a tendency to look the same across platforms when developers don't do a rushed port job for one system.
Go figure?

asyouburn5306d ago

square did a fantastic job on ff13 360. to get something like a 32 gig game compressed down to 3 6.8 gig discs and all they had to sacrifice was resolution, and the final res is still higher than alan wake. seems like a great job to me

mastiffchild5306d ago

When ANY multiplat tries to beat out the best exclusives on either platform we might have some reason for all this but as they don't there isn't. As it stands there's never a great difference between the standard of multiplat from PS3 to 360 or back again and definitely not enough to make me change my preference(I like the DS3 better than the 360 pad myself)since TOB ages ago.

We don't learn ANYTHING about which console has the greater power from multiplatform games which push neither to their limits and have parity as their main aim. Can we stop with the point scoring on this front? Seriously, this time the tiny, non game changing differences are supposedly in favour of the PS3 but to me they're just another bunch of differences that make NO difference as you'd never notice them EVER if you weren't TRYING to find them with side by side screens, slowing them both down and using sodding programs to find FPS dips and screen tearing! WTF has that got to do with what I can see with the naked eye and one TV set and one version of the game running?

Seriously, what? These comparisons with their spurious winners and losers exist only to justify the sites that make them. the differences are too small for anyone to feel ripped of or even to think they should maybe move to the other console for a change-yet we want to use them to fuel fanboy arguments? Where's our sense gone?

Ju5306d ago (Edited 5306d ago )

Obviously PS3 devs don't let down 360 owners. Can't say that for the other way 'round.

Anyway, yet again that is one of the best looking titles - on the 360. And the reason is the PS3 was lead. And yet, this game goes to the PS3 hands down. It beats the 360 in its own domain: 60Hz with 2xMSAA in full res. Something what some of you say the 360 achieves due to EDRAM and faster GPU. Yet, the PS3 beats it right there - incl. triple buffering and no frame tear.

MegaMohsi5306d ago

a PC version of this would be awesome, 1080p60fps this game would be sweet but I doubt they'll release a PC version as Bayonetta never got one :(

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

mastershredder385d ago (Edited 385d ago )

Starhawk over Warhawk?...... Dude, NO ONE should listen to you.

Odd choices for "best" more like you settled as these being the "best" that available to you at the time, cause a lot of these blow or were average to poor performers that ended up in bargain bin.

Missing too many great sci-fi titles here. The Void, The Resistance Series, Killzone 2 and 3, Enslaved, man.. there were so many, this is redicu-list.

FreeckyCake385d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX384d ago

I agree that Starhawk shouldn't be above Warhawk, however I must say that Starhawk multiplayer was incredible for its time! Many people wrote it off bc the single player was quite terrible, bc it was basically 1 huge tutorial for the multiplayer. But I can tell you never spent any significant amount of time in MP. It was doing incredibly tense base building w air, foot and land vehicle (and mech!) combat long before Fortnite was ever a thing.

I bet it would have been much better received if it had just ditched the story mode all together. So many people like yourself completely wrote it off based on reviews by reviewers that let the criticism of single player weigh heavily on their scores. I bet you didn't even play it.

Friendlygamer385d ago

The riddick games are some of the best stealth titles ever, highly underrated

YourMommySpoils385d ago

What games? All recall plating was Escape from Butcher Bay.

Friendlygamer385d ago (Edited 385d ago )

There's also the less acclaimed 'assault on dark Athena'

( also, not saying this to you specifically but there's both resistance and killzone games on the list, it's amazing how even something so simple and innocent as a game list can be turned into misinformed vitriol here lol )

jznrpg385d ago

Glad to see Resonance of Fate. Enslaved was pretty good too. I’m sure there are others nobody has listed but I’m too tired to try and think of anything

Titan fall 2 was chefs kiss. For those of you who haven't played it go ahead. Brilliant. With each level being creatively different.

Yui_Suzumiya698d ago

Island, Steins;Gate Elite and Soma.

MadLad698d ago

Soma is an epic experience.

jznrpg698d ago (Edited 698d ago )

Does ISLAND have English subs ? I can’t find a copy that says it has English subs for PS only the Switch version which I rather not buy .

Love Steins Gate and Soma

shinoff2183698d ago (Edited 698d ago )

FRom what i could find. Nothing with English subs.

Yui_Suzumiya697d ago

I own a physical copy on Switch and it does have English subtitles so it's all good on Switch and Playstation.

Yui_Suzumiya697d ago (Edited 697d ago )

My bad. Steam and Switch have English but PS4 and Vita only have Japanese. Sony doesn't mess with many visual novels which is why I only own a Switch OLED and laptop for all my games.

neutralgamer1992733d ago (Edited 733d ago )

Actually great list TBH I agree with all 10

I hope one day we get some remakes for the following

The saboteur(with a proper remake and quality of life features this game could be great)
Scarface world is yours
Binary domain ( such a great game with great story)
GUN(this needs a remake)
Space marine 40k(such fun time)

Would also like to suggest adding the mercenary series even the 2nd game which is disliked by many is a fun time

cthulhucultist733d ago

I recently finished Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and found it to be very enjoyable.

The game respected the lore and the gameplay was quite decent.

The color palette was a bit underwhelming (backdrops and setting) and recycled but I think that it deserved better.

Here's hoping for an amazing sequel

Vengeance1138733d ago

Space Marine II !! My most anticipated game of 2023! Woot
