The top images look consistantly better. the bottom ones usualy look to washed out/bright.

[velocitygamer]

Fuck foreign sites.

[Omega Archetype]

I agree! I had to check it out anyways though.

The differences are negligible. They look nearly identical to me. Wish they'd be more precise with their screenshots though. The first screen the lighting's different due to Isaac being positioned further down the corridor.

Only difference I see is that it seems like one had it's brightness higher then the other. I personally prefer the one that's slightly darker, but they're practically identical.

[samuraiX]

There is no difference, both are identical
there is only difference in brightness level.

[Quagmire]

Good to know someone isnt wearing their Fanboy goggles on N4G. Theyr are practically the same, its not as different as say most games running on Unreal engine.

[visualb]

conclusion:

THIS GAME IS F****FJFJ0"$ AWESOME!!1

[SuperSaiyan4]

Top image looks scratchy bottom one looks smoother...But which ones which??

[HolyOrangeCows]

EDIT: (From actual article - which SHOULD have been the link the contributor posted) "Although the graphics look on the Playstation 3 products a little darker"

Top - Ps3
Bottom - 360

They made some of the textures resolutions WAAAAY too low. Some details on the walls just look downright ugly.

FUNNY THING IS
when i hear all these ppl say this looks better on this system over the other, most times its 360ppl saying it looks better because DF or some other websites based solely on testing graphics between the two system (PS3&360) says so. They would never get hits if all they said "It looks dam good compared to the old days"

the truth is
i am a Sony backer because i love the games and ALL GAMES i have played using my PS3 have looked GREAT! I dont even notice screen tearing or anti-alising or whatever you call it. I play a game for the fun

Dead Space is a day one buy for me!!! PS3 all day!!! Oh wait the guy with the Halo avitar says 360 has kicked PS3 ass again!!! I better read this :-/

[nycredude]

These comparisons are lame. Visceral has already proven with the first Deadspace that they know the hardware. Deadspace is awesome so it's a day one for me. Is there a PC version?

[FanboyPunisher]

Comparisons between consoles is far to small to matter; its pathetic.

PC is the only way to play when you have the choice, and even more so now with gaming pc's being as cheap as 400 dollars (the price of a console basically.

Moral of the story, it isnt worth caring about.

[ufo8mycat]

If its a RTS then yes PC. FPS even as well, but thats debatable.

Everything else, definitely not.

I have the choice to play on PC (playing starcraft 2 atm), but I choose not to, simply because other then RTS, consoles are much better. Just like playing an RTS on console wouldn't be right at all.

The beauty of owning all platforms.

@ufo8mycat

"FPS even as well, but thats debatable."

How is it debatable? Mouse and keyboard is by far the superior way to play FPS games, also having the ability to run a game at 60+FPS helps a great deal in terms of accuracy, something very few console FPS games can achieve. Plus in a lot of cases you don't have to rely on crappy P2P services when you have the option to use dedicated servers, which eliminates any lag.

The only reason why you wouldn't use a PC for a certain genre is if that genre had very few games available on PC. Take TPS games for example, a genre that's pretty sparse on PC, although the few titles that are available like Gears of War 1 are superior to their console counterparts. You also don't have to use a kb+m for such games as every current gen console controller works on PC.

Racing games are also better played on PC believe it or not, despite missing out on a handful of exclusive racers on both console, pretty much all multiplat racing games are available along with many exclusives of it's own, and the only place to play hardcore sims. Again like with FPS games, having the option to run the game at 60+FPS helps enormously when it comes to driving precision, with PC also having the largest wheel support of any platform.

Like I mentioned above, the only genres that are best played on consoles are the ones absent from the PC platform, like sports games. Everything else is better because of the options a PC can provide, and not just the graphics which some people seem to think is all that PCs are good for.

But if you're talking about the difference in quality between different genres on PC and consoles, that's another matter and certainly debatable, but in terms of how something plays, options reign supreme.

And apologies for the long rant.

[GamerPS360]

+1 to Jimmy ^^.

[jneul]

they look equal to me

[emekcrash]

Too bad they aren't.

[muzzy]

I don't even click. Already preordered for PS3 as it comes with another Move game.

[LunaticBrandon]

Only the limited edition.

[VenomProject]

No, the PS3 version comes with Dead Space: Extraction.

You don't have to buy the limited edition.

[karl]

for 60 bucks..

[jneul]

dead space 2 is meant to have move support as well

[Simco876]

Everyone who seen the Leprechaun say yeah!

[poopface1]

up in the tree.

[apocalypse73]

whatever,i usally grab multiplats for 360,but dead space 2 ps3 version day 1 for me.demo was awsome.and my turtle beach px 21 headset made it even better.

[Redlogic]

Dude, the P21's are the shiznit! I just ordered the dss thingy that turns it into surround sound. I can't freakin wait!

I played the Dead Space 2 demo on PS3, it looked great so I am buying it day 1. I loved the first one so much but 2 looks to topple it. Can't wait till January 25th.

[Op24]

Ah man I bet you jump hella lot when using those headsets playing that game. Just my surround sounds gets my heart pumpin in the first one but with it on my head? IDK man hahaha

[jjmustoe]

like most multiplats thay look equal

[ufo8mycat]

Judging by the screens and the actual demo itself. Both version look the same when the PS3 versions in-game brightness is toned down a couple notches (PS3 version is brighter by default).

If you prefer the darker 360 look, just simply decrease in-game brightness about 4 notches and presto. For this particular game, the darker look adds atmosphere.

[Close_Second]

Don't care how they compare as I thought the demo was pretty solid. Although it was not a huge leap in terms of visuals over its predecessor you could see where the improvements had been made. Lets face it, the first one looked damn good anyway.

Given some of the games being released in the near term I really can't see myself picking this up though. Not initially...damn, I'm broke already and its not even 2011 yet!

[Op24]

when I started the demo I thought it looked identical to dead space. You get farther in and it looks better though. Must show how good dead space still looks.

[BannedForNineYears]

These images are really ugly. xD
Can't even judge this comparison seriously.

[Masterchef2007]

Both look the same anyone who says something different is living in denial. Anyways i prefer the PS3 version cause of extraction, free online (so even if the online stinks i dont have to pay for it) plus i prefer the controller over the 360.
