Battlefield 3: PC vs. Xbox 360 - Operation Guillotine and Graphic Effects in Videos Compared

Here are two new comarison videos, they will show you Operation Guillotine (PC and Xbox 360) and PC graphic effects in the mission Thunder Run in slow motion. The first video is here, the second is inside the news. Check the footage after the break!

Lame comparison showing 2-3secs of footage from each scene, Too fast to judge much differences. In the end PC version will turn out superior anyways.

What the hell are you guys watching this on, your phone?

If that comparison was not completely obvious to you you then you need to take your face out of your palm or you need a better monitor.

I cannot believe the amount of work they've done on the smoke and lighting, ive never seen a game do this so well.

Kudos DICE

[iamnsuperman]

Not a great comparison. The video didn't fill the entire screen and also I swear every screen shown was not the same bit. It was either to far a head or too early. How can you compare screens when they are not the same

[Wizziokid]

why compare console and pc?

[CloseSecond]

Because apparently there are those that think the 5+ year old h/w in consoles is as good as that in a modern PC.

[andibandit]

PS3 looked better than any of those in the video

[dark-hollow]

^^^^^^
you have just proved his point.

[Muffins1223]

that and to show you if the pc has a 400 dollar difference :D

@muffins:

First off, I'm not a PC gamer. Have not been for years.

Anyway, you really going to pull that old argument out of the bag? I suppose you could be right if you think everyone who games on a PC only uses a PC for gaming. Last time I checked you could do a hell of a lot more on a PC than you can on a console.

[kikizoo]

Because at the end of the day, it's the same game !

after 5 years of console life, even if the pc version will be more polished (on the best pc only !), the best pc versions are not massively differents than consoles versions in game, it's the same game, with better resolution, and your big flat tv, it's noit a huge difference, like you are watching the same films with a mkv 720 or 1080 (and most of the pc games are not of the same quality than bbc3)...PC can make a real difference at the end of the console lifespan, but producers can' make games for only 5% of the pc.

Bro you are wrong on so many levels.

First: PC and console games are not same on not only graphics, but customizations, contollers, free stuff, mods, communities etc.

2nd: The games are not like movies that you can't interact and explore any areas not meant to be viewd in movies.

3rd: You said "on your big Flat tv, it's not much difference" I mean the bigger the screen the more obvious is the difference. I have 50" 1080p plasma than i have 2 x 42" (1080/plasma and 1080 3D LCD), i can't watch SD resolution movies on 50" w/o cringing as the image gets hazy however 720p looks much sharper but 1080p looks like you're there right infront of the action.

4th: PC can make a difference at the end of the console? Wrong, consoles use parts which are at least 10 months old, by the time the final sku is launched the PC with the latest VGA would already have surpassed the processing power of the console.

5th "But producers can't make the game only for 5%" Sorry wrong again, have you played any pc games in last few years where the game can scale from entry all the way to future gpu/cpus. IT doesnt require magic to have a game load better textures/assest when particular settings are selected. So even if the high end as you say are 5%, rest 95% can play the same game with lower settings.

Your last point however i agree with

[monkeymagik]

It's PC/PS3/360 for BF3.

[Series_IIa]

Yeah we already know what platforms it's coming out on...

[leogets]

stupid to compare pc to console. but ill be gettin on ps3 as i dont own a super gaming rig.itll still be the best game "IVE" experianced so happy days. or shall i say years lol.

[Keyop]

If you have a PC buy it on PC.

If you have a PS3 buy it on PS3.

If you have a 360 buy it on 360.

If you have multiple platforms but it on the one most of your friends use.

Just enjoy the game, however you play it and stop worrying about graphics on a platform you don't ever intend to use.

[mrmikew2018]

Well said

[STIKUP ARTIST]

Does any one know if battlefield pc will support xbox controller? Hope so...

[Letros]

BC2 did, so this should as well.

[sak500]

I have played windows platform game using 360's cable controller for which you need to download drivers. But it depends on the game if it will allow you to select the controller.

Also why would you want to play a pc fps with 360 controller, i'll be playing it with kb/mouse combo so that it gives better control.

On 360 i would prefer the 360 controller since i can lay down on my couch and play it on the 50" tv.

[Caffo01]

i'd like to play it on pc with a controller too...but i'm worried of the difference between players with kb/m and players with controller..anyone who tried it already?

[STIKUP ARTIST]

I built my pc to be just a powerful console. It sits in my game room next to my ps3 and 360 and all are connected to a plasma tv. I tried playing with the kb/mouse and I hated it it. I am 33 now, been a console gamer for over 20 years so the controller is the only way for me to play.

Here is another comparison video of the game:
