I was looking at a couple of these comparisons before the release, and I went ahead and bought the PS3 version because I thought it looked better. I gotta say, though, the SSAO is handled absolutely horribly in the PS3 version. It makes everything look like it's outlined in a shadow. Now I'm thinking I should have gotten the 360 version because it doesn't seem to use SSAO at all.

If I took out the "now I'm thinking I should have gotten the 360 version," would you all stop 'disagreeing' me to death?

Edit: and calling me a "faggot"? Jesus Christ.

[Derekvinyard13]

no say your opinion.

[evilunklebud]

Yes, you are correct. Take it out and fewer disagrees

As for the "faggot" comment... he is probably just some kid. An adult would not be that threatened by (or hostile towards) an opinion of a video game, of all things.

I'll probably get the PS3 version too, SSAO notwithstanding.

[Derekvinyard13]

it dosent matter. your making that conclusion by looking at the comparisons. No picture or video on the internet can compare to the game itself every TV is diffrent justice cannot be done for most games on the internet when it comes to visuals.

[Bimkoblerutso]

Well that's what I meant, really. I've seen the PS3 version firsthand and I really, REALLY dislike the SSAO. I can't speak for the 360 version. It just LOOKED like it lacked SSAO.

I should have known better than to mention the other system and thus get myself involved in all this console-war backlash bullshit.

Grass is always greener on the other side, right?

Look at the shadows on the first screen, much better on PS3. SSAO is "like it or not" effect, but it's usually counted as advantage of one version over the other (if one od them has no SSAO).

...the 360 version looks fantastic. The only thing that bugs me about the looks of this game, is how flat environment textures look, compared to the detail in clothing, furniture, interiors, etc. The outdoor details really look bland...like the 1st Godfather game almost...in comparison.

Sheesh, in this case both versions look nearly identical. All of these screenshot comparisons show two versions that essentially look the same. In some shots the 360 looks better, in others the PS3 version looks better.

For the full analysis I am personally waiting for Digital Foundry because they are the most professional and the most thorough.

[Derekvinyard13]

agreed, how long do they usually take tho? 2-3 weeks?

[sayonara89]

Look at the shadows (looks so much better on PS3) and SSAO (it's not present on 360), other than that both look identical. Framebuffer is 1280x720 MSAAx2 on both systems.

I honestly don't see a difference they both look the same maybe the xbox one is a little brighter and the ps3 one is a little darker but the graphics look the same.

[WitWolfy]

the Xbox 360's textures are better on the roads, but the rest looks the same, if you dont count the crappy draw distance the 360 spits out
