Head2Head: Call of Juarez: The Cartel Screenshot Comparison

Lens of Truth writes - "This week we sat down with Techland’s Call of Juarez: The Cartel for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The Cartel takes the series to modern-day Los Angeles and Mexico. So hop inside to see which version is truly the top dog!"

[Joe Bomb]

Looks pretty close. Performance should be the deciding factor, Bound in Blood screen-tore like crazy!

[jriquelme_paraguay]

PS3 win in those statics screenshots...

[Hanif-876]

@jriquelme_paraguay I don't know why you got disagrees, but maybe some people have broken monitors.

[Fishy Fingers]

PS3, little crisper, nicer colours and lighting. But thats with a zoomed screen grab. Nothing you'd really notice in-game.

[coolbeans]

I don't think you'd notice half of the differences between the 2 HD multiplats were it not for the pixel counters. AFTER you see these comparisons, you may tend to take notice of them while playing the game, if only an afterthought.

[andron]

Yeah that's usually the case these days.

Even when there is a slight difference it won't have much impact on game play.

Case in being Resident Evil 5: In both Lens of truth and Digital Foundry's comparisons they gave a slight graphics win to the 360 version. I have played both versions to death and it's not something you really notice when playing...

[Pintheshadows]

The only time I have noticed a difference just from playing was Ghostbusters.

PlayStation 3 Version Looks Way Better !

[RudeSole Devil]

PS3 for the win on this one.

[Tempjf]

This should be set in the wild west like the other CoJ games, WTF ubisoft! Modern is dumb. Anyway, this looks like a tie.

[andron]

Techland apparently wanted to make a modern western. I guess they felt like mixing it up after making 2 western games...

[Ares84]

Why is this still important???

Just buy it on the system of your choice and that's it.

[qwertyz]

lens of truth never does IN-DEPTH analysis. They are noobs. eurogamer > lens of truth

[CernaML]

This is pretty much a great example of quantity vs quality.

[ddkshah]

one good thing about lens of truth is the way the comparison shots are presented. Which is better than eurogamer's method ;)

[andron]

Yeah, but Digital Foundry show the games in motion making it easier to see frame rate and tearing issues.

I mean it's not really that interesting to have close ups of textures as that isn't how it appears when you play the game...

[BX81]

Was going to pick this game up today but didn't. Has anyone played it? Is it any good? Thanks

[sickbird]

oh nice because graphics we're really going to be the deciding factor for this pos game.

[Gran Touring]

They look similar enough, but how do they run on each platform?

[Jake_Butler]

Yeah same here. I've heard the PS3 runs like Shiet.

[Agent_hitman]

I'm so sick of this "console comparison" thing..... I've had enough... Oh fanboys life?!!
