Xbox 360 vs PS3: Splinter Cell Double Agent Comparison

These screens were taken from a Head-To-Head video feature.

As surprising as it might be for many, it doesn't take an eagle eye to notice the differences between both versions.

[Antan]

I think we all know by now these comparisons will always come out in favour of the 360 at this moment in time. Its still a decent game and shouldn`t deter PS3 owners from giving it a whirl.

[techie]

Antan...they havent all come out with the 360 on top.

A FUD bubble seems to be looming over all of us. I forward you to Eurogamer for their comparison and you will see that in most cases they are very close, or there is a win on both sides. The PS3 is not behind on these "ports" by anyones standards. Hell the 360 wins on a few, but by negligible margins, as admitted by most journalists that have played both side by side...the only broken link in the chain is Gamespot. http://www.n4g.com/News-317... I agree about this one however.

Sorry Antan...changed the comment for you :) Just wish people would refrain from saying ALL, and actually read around. I know many don't have the motivation to do so, but I have and I'm sure as Antan has done, you will see that the ps3 does not fail on ports as much as you think and it is really a jab at the devs to say that they do.

[Antan]

Of course i was speaking about the majority of ports but there are as you rightly say some that swing in the PS3`s favour. Naturally i can only comment on the games ive seen on both, for example-:

Ridge Racer 7 is quite a bit better looking than R6, especially in terms of HDR which looks superb on the PS3 but is not available in R6, and the new tracks look fantastic and don`t suffer from the usual portitus as they of course have been built from scratch.

Oblivion is of course well documented to have a visual edge on the PS3, though i only have the PC version.

I have FNR3 on the 360 but aint seen the PS3 version and yes the majority of reviews point in favour of the PS3, but not by much.

SC:DA going by these screenies "appears" to lack the edge of the 360 version, which i do have. I knew months ago this conversion was lacking against the 360 but this is just a bonus of working in the industry.

I think i should of said sometimes rather than always of course. As time goes on, and ive said this before, i fully expect the PS3 to show more muscle when 3rd party developers get the knack so to speak, proof of this appears to be showing, like Spiderman 3 for example. Theres more chance of the PS3 having better versions IF code is written directly and not "ported", again its nice knowing plenty of peeps in the industry.

"Sorry to burst the FUD bubble that has been looming over you". I always respect your comments Deep and of course hope you get your PS3 in June, but this comment was a bit off tbh, im not sure how you thought/think im somehow affected by this FUD lark?

Ant...........

[power of Green]

How many times are you going to post that BULLSHIT link those games do not look like that on the 360. lol MAN/DUDE! My brother has a PS3 and a 360 those pics are BS we rented a ton of games and we spent a hole weekend compareing the two consoles. PS3 is alittle too bright in alot of games thus the washed out opinion of many. Adjusting the TV to make the PS3 look normal will fuc the 360 by defualt if a preson was to match the settings.lol

[PureGamer]

Do us a favour die please? You spent a whole weekend renting out games and comparing them *clap clap* i wonder when this guy is gonna get laid? ye we know the answer. If you look at these first glance there is no difference, but if your a fanboy looking for differences you will see them.

I piss on this article.

also funny how people are comparing these when they are not the same pictures ha ha.

[techie]

POG. I know I know...but Ive also found that on many sites they do not say that the ps3 version is washed out. Ive also spoken to many owners and they completely agree. That is not to say that the ps3 versions are not lighter...but they are not as light as some have shown. Now the screenshots shown on Eurogamer, if you do not feel are accurate, they are not what the actual article refers to if you read it. They refer to a number of graphical features and not how bright either are.

Eurogamer is not the only site that agrees. In fact Ive done quite a bit of scouting on this and there are some standouts. FNR3...now it is agreed that the crowds on the ps3 are subpar the 360, but it is also universally agreed that the fighter models are much better, with even better lighting on the ps3. Ridge Racer has been said to superior to the 360 version. Now now now, none of this as we have realised over these past months has anything to do with the capabilities of either console. But I really think it is belittling of the devs to say "they havent got the hang of the ps3. Because most ports (apart from Fear and perhaps this) are very good, and in some respects are superior to their xbox siblings.

Please I dont do this to flame. I have done my research. I really feel it is time to end the xbox has the better multi-platform games. Each win some, each lose.

I hope thats understandable POG...you must realise that a lot of it is bull right?

(amusing little fact for you...gamespot said Spiderman3 is more colourful on the ps3...funny I know :)...also Criterion said that 1080p was only possible on the ps3 and that the ps3 would have better physics and AI...I say this only to show. Wins and losses on both sides...there's no need for superiority complexs.

[Antan]

POG. This washed out look is something im not seeing to be perfectly honest with you, i have F1, Motorstorm, R7 and RFOM and i can say ive never once thought about the PS3 having washed out colours. I think one look at R7 (playing it not looking at screenshots) and Motorstorm should dispel such myths. And certainly the the muted look of RFOM is absolutley a creative decision.

[marionz]

ive played motorstorm GT-HD virtua fighter RFOM and they all look washed out and jaggy, i also played fill auto on 360 and full auto 2 on ps3 and the ps3 version is nasty in comparison, the textures coluors and special effects lighting on ps3 are not as good as 360
also i played ridge racer on ps3 and adain colour and lighting was inferior, if people cant see the ps3 has issues with colour lighting and textureing then they are blind

[Anego Montoya FTMFW]

ports are up in the air it depends what they dev. it for.
how much time they have.
and how much they care.
either way.

look at the original halflife.
the ports weren`t great. but the game was

[Ru]

These thing get all too ugly too post about them anymore!
LOL Pick and Choose
both win IMO

[PSN Starfleets]

360 versions look better without a doubt. People who disagree are fanboys. It's simple, no comments are needed.

Goodbye

[power of Green]

Did you read or even look at the pics/story before you post that attack. lol Yah! sure; I forced myself to see less sweat, less muscle detail on the main charector and more etc etc.

[God of Gaming]

The overall point of this is... why doesnt the PS3 version match hte 360 version? It should! 7 months after the 360 release they have had plenty of time to polish it up. I do not want to hear about what is the lead SKU, last gen the PS2 was the lead SKU in 99% of multi platform games and yet the Xbox version always looked a tad better. IF the PS3 is a more powerful system it would show small upgrades 7 months after the 360 release.

If it is a matter of the PS3 being a pain to develop for then that is something Sony better get on soon. (Yes I know they talk about better tools all the time)

Bottom line, a game like this (Which does not push either console's limits) SHOULD look at least the same. PS3 owners should be angry at this and wonder why they are getting turd ports.

[techie]

true true. Now that's a nice look on it...although I'd like to add to that "SOME turd ports". That's all. :)

[THAMMER1]

Very true.

Last gen all games had same day releases too. Me personally I'm too hord core and picky to get the turd version.

This gen Sony even get an extra 6 months and still comes up a nose short. I do not think it is that big of a deal but Sony did set up HIGH EXPECTATIONS that have yet to be delivered on.

This makes me wonder how VF is going to turn out.

DEEPBROWN DO YOU EVEN HAVE A PS3 YET? COME ON MAN PUT IN ON THAT $#!T IF YOU BELIVE IN IT SO MUCH.

*Below*
YEAH God of Gaming

I feel that the PS3 is the same cost/price as most peoples rent or mortgage, but this guy flies around this site as the CAPTIN of the SDF but dose not put his money where his mouth is.

In my area we call that type of $#!t what it is ((COUNTER FIT)).

[God of Gaming]

To be fair... he more than likely has to pay rent or mortgage so that ususally comes before a PS3. As much as I do not care about the PS3 I would have picked one up by now if it clocked in at $400 bucks!

[SmokeyMcBear]

yes it does take money to get a ps3, and thanks to having a job, I got plenty of that. One major quip about people, and that is a major bullet point for 360 fanboys, is the lack of **must have** games, although the 360 didnt have theirs until a year after launch in the name of GeOW. People are simply waiting for the must have games, the Heavenly Sword, the Lair, the MGS4, the Killzone, the Home, the LBP, there is pretty much a must have game in all types of genres of gaming, and a lot of people are simply waiting, I couldn't wait, and had to have it immediately. But I do agree with the someone crappy ports, well some of them. And it is definately not because of the capabilities of the system, we call all see the ninja gaiden, the oblivion, and HS, Ratchet and Clank, both systems have the goods for excellent games. But you do have to look at it from a developers standpoint. A lot of them are all about money. They have created a game, for the 360, that is optimized for the 360. Now, in order to make the most money, and since the game is already created, they take the least amount of time to maximize the profits to get the game to other systems, its pretty simple. And you do have to look at the shottiness of ubisoft as a developer. I mean cmon, a new game, GRAW 2 is having a multitude of problems on the 360, due to the developers programming, cmon now. I am losing faith in ubisoft day by day

[techie]

lol. funny. Dudes I've done my research and I'm going from what I have read and seen, just as much as any of these comparisons on this site do. PS3 is on its way but sadly I'm up to my neck in Uni work at the moment and can't actually buy one until I finish and move out of this hell hole.

All these comparison opinions are coming from articles and screenshots as I'm sure most of you don't own both, so I'm just pointing you towards the many journalists on this thing called the world wide web, where the opinions are in line with mine in most respects.

[sak500]

Man you should go ahead and pick up 360 as you dont have to wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and...well u catch my drift..to enjoy great games.

To rest of you PS3 fanbois, I along with huge numbers of 360 owners have been enjoying next gen HD gaming since Jan 06. I feel pity for you guys who have blindly believed SONY hype/lie machine, wasted 1 year of enjoyable gaming and ended up paying $200+ more on a console which has yet to deliver 3rd game (after MS and RFOM) which is actually good. 90% of the ports which you guys are getting are inferior to what 360 users have had for more than atleast 6 months. So why keep on waiting and never able to play beyond on the console in 3rd place3???? Why the blind faith in company who is renowned for lying to public when it comes to its consoles. Its not necessary that they will have success like ps1/2 evertime. Wake up and smell the cofee guys.

[Dareaver1]

How about armored core 4, the 360 version does not have jaggies, has better textures and reflections, plus a better use of hdr and AA. so what do people have to say about that. the only prob i saw with the 360 version was that it was too dark, don't know why, but from some of the gameplay trailers it looked a lil' too dark. But that is not a graphical problem. Both consoles are powerful, people love sayin that it's the developers fault, actually it's not, it's the console makers fault. If they build something, then build the tools to help people extract all they can for the system. in the end the console maker looks bad, not really the developers. So i wish people would stop blaming the devs, and start pointing the fingers at those that can do something about it. And i know the sony tools sets are coming out soon, but that should have been done. They had a whole year delay because of a blueray diode, why couldn't they have had the developers of the console making all the necessary tools back then. And please don't say the console is only half a year old. it has had games in development for years now, so cut the bull. And one big statement for all those 1st gen 2nd gen crybabies, gears is a 1st gen game. it's epics 1st time on the console, 1st release for the console, and was announced for the system pre launch during e3.

[Sphinx]

who cares? Play it for the console you have, if you want to play it. If you have both consoles and care about Achievement points, play it on the 360. If you like rumble, play it on the 360. If you don't care about Achievement points or rumble, flip a coin.

[power of Green]

Splinter Cell series are graphiclly advanced games and always have been, Port or not this much difference is telling you strenths and weaknesses of the two consoles.

[sabbath420]

The point is PS3 (should) look way better on every level. With all that supposed power and the year extra they had to make it play in (4D).
Ports aside, Resistance should not even be comparable to any xbox360 game. It should have blown away all 360 games, with an extra year to prep for (sony's) next gen. Its a shame to pay so much more and wait so much longer for the same or in some cases lesser quality.
PLAY B3HIND!

[zonetrooper5]

I just looked at the screens and the Xbox 360 version does look better, no doubt about it. The PS3 version looks too dark and in some of the screenshots theres not enough detail on the walls, it looks bland. I do like both consoles however but i think the devs could not be bothered with porting this game to the PS3, it was made to make quick money.

[Nervsys]

Fact is that if Sony hadn't kept mouthing off about how much more powerful their console was, then these kind of comparisons would not be happening.

Sony decided to tell everyone that their machines graphics would blow the 360 away. So far, all they have delivered is "similar" graphics at best. Sony talk the talk, but have yet to walk the walk, which is why its so easy to rip into them about their games at the moment.

[BOOSTIN]

Sony tends to no know when to insert foot into mouth. making claims like

"the next generation doesnt start till we say it does"
"ps3 is the only TRUE HD experience"
"we consider it more of a xbox 1.5"

why oh why cant you just be humble sony? being the leader of the console war, you shouldnt have to smack talk about how your machine will kick the piss out of everything else. the underdogs should be the ones saying that so that they can take attention away from the console leader.

[BOOSTIN]

with the 360 and the PS3 having COMPLETELY different architecture, its very hard and costly for a developer to produce a port of equal or better quality without starting from scratch. Maybe when the 360 ports start to roll in (DMC4) 360 owners will see then downside of porting from PS3.

[SDS Gamerfiend]

It was already stated by top dev`s that it`s easier to port from ps3 to 360!

[donscrillinger]

it just looks and play better on 360 dont hate

[SDS Gamerfiend]

Fact is that Sony is a bunch of liars and should not be supported for it! Xbox had to take all of the ps2`s ports and the XBOX version always looked and played BETTER! So stop with all the excuses already. and deepbrown, stop posting pics of virtua Tennis 3 shots when you know damn well that the two games were developed by two different studios with the ps3 version having the better of the two which is AM2! Ps3 had Yu Suzuki san with AM2! AM2 is responsible for Virtua fighter, Shenmue and so on.

[Ps3007]

You're wrong.

[ITR]

The 360 graphics look the best.

[SKUD]

I agree. Having two completely different systems im not surprised either. They didn't build the game from the ground up for PS3 so chalk this one up as one crappy port job and another crappy news POST. Having played the X360 version i must say this game wasn't even that great to begin with. PS3 owners should skip this part of the series and wait for R6 Vegas.

[sabbath420]

What about the ones they did make for the ps3 from the ground up? They are no better quality than some 360 games. Moto storm being the 1 that may have a slight edge graphically on the average 360 game, but not much of an edge. And it lacks in most other areas.

[sabbath420]

All of the older xbox ports from ps2 always looked better on xbox. So you would think the same should apply here with the ps3.

[BIadestarX]

I said it before, if you are going to buy a PS3 buy it for the games that the 360 does not have. The simple fact that 360 games have more features than the PS3 versions of the same game simply make them not worth the extra $200. (Yeah, I know the PS3 have bla bla bla.. and the 360 does not have bla bla bla... but you don't need any of that to play .... uhhh this game or any game...). If you are going to get a PS3 and already own a 360 do yourselve a favor and don't buy it to play the games that are already or going to be available for the 360. But the PS3 if you want a cheap blu-ray player or if you want to play a game that it's exclusive to the PS3.
Since the PS3 is a newer and more expensive console we shouldnt be making this comparisons, it should a be a difference between day and night. The difference between the PS3 and the XBox 360 should be the same it was between the PS2 and the Original xbox which was obviously superior in terms of graphics and there was no questions about it. Games (ALWAYS) port or not looked better on the original xbox compared to the PS2. We shouldn't have to wait 2-3 years for that. The Original xbox proved to look better on than the PS2 in terms of graphics on day 1.

[omansteveo]

Good point but people will argue this till the cows come home . Its good to know that there are some sane people that post on this site

[sabbath420]

Sony has made so many claims of being so much better than the competition in every way. So the difference in the 2 systems should be like night and day. We should not have to be comparing screen shots at all. The ps3 should make me as an xbox fan say "oh crap look at those graphics and gameplay I can't get that with my system. I better find a way to get a ps3 so I can move on to the next gen". But I am thinking instead about what a good deal I got on my system. $200.00 less for better games. Hmmmmmmm.

[Black Republican]

Let's be honest PS3 fan's. I am no fanboy in any way.
BUT

I think all gamers - casual/hardcore/collectors & even grandmas and grandpas all expected ALOT MORE from the PS3

I expected ALOT MORE
the main reason I expected alot more was because this console was released a year later, we can ALMOST say every piece of hardware on the PS3 is superior to the PS3 EXCEPT the graphics card.
the second reason I expected alot more was actually because of SONY themselves, I mean they had a whole year to see what the X360 can do. Sony said things like Xbox 1.5, the PS3 will blow away the Xbox360, we all know all the stuff they have said.

My point is the PS3 hasn't blown anything away, in fact I think the one year older system has actually held it's own.

Those of you who think it hasn't are all fanboys.
For Example.

ports - some look better on PS3, some look better on X360, and all of them are comparable.

exclusives - some have looked better on PS3, some have looked better on X360, some of them are comparable, some ppl (fanboys/analysts/gamers/) will say Gears of War looks better, others will say R:FOM looks better.

PS3 has not delivered. X360 is holding it's own.

[SmokeyMcBear]

well i think sony just sat back on their laurels. I mean really, 360 didnt have crap until gears came out, and that was the same time ps3 launched, i bet sony just sat back and went.. wait this is what we're up against..pppfffttt.. but yeah, the high end games are coming, and its mostly from first party exclusives, I wonder if thats coincidence or not.

[omansteveo]

I don't think its a good idea to blame this on devs they have to work with what they've got ya know splinter cell came out on xb360 in october last year and they have had ps3 dev kits since the summer before that so they've been working on this port for a while now theres no excuse for this. If the Ps3 version would've came out and been awesome i would have expected it bc all of the time they've had

[SmokeyMcBear]

ubisoft is crap, check out the problems that graw2 is having on the 360, and its not because of the 360, its the programming. ubisoft is cutting corners left and right, its not a good thing

ahahahah.. disagree all you want, doesnt mean its not true

http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/...

read it and weep, fanboys just don't understand

[Bad_Karma]

LAZINESS plain and simple

[sak500]

You should be lucky, if devs stopped making ports/Multi platform games for PS3 altogether then you'd be left with 4 games to look forward to. So stfu about blaming devs as those guys are doing their best to bring games to your, already in hot water console. BTW look at the pic of US flag on guys shirt, the one ps3 looks like ps2 texture. I guess they even had to dumb down that small a texture for ps3.

[xfrgtr]

This pictures are BS,check others sources and they all say it looks great on the ps3

[Sphinx]

Compared to what? Does is look greater than (better than) the 360 version? Equal to? Greater than the PS2? Next-gen graphics in general look great.

[socomnick]

Everyone thinks its laziness from the developers. I think it is I believe the ps3 memory limitations and inferior gpu might be holding it back. The developers don't want to release inferior games like this they want to make it as polished as possible Xbox is more powerful even games made on the ps3 then ported to the Xbox look better on it. Armed core 4 is one of them.

[PS360PCROCKS]

Whhaaattt? Their is not even a remote comparison the ps3 shots almost look like just a black screen, wow that's horrible I guess they said F the PS3 version since the next version is a 360 exclusive and therefore wont have to worry about the ps3

[WTF]

And they said that the next generation start with PS3.

[WTF]

And they said that the next generation start with PS3,please, not impressed. Sorry double post.

[kornbeaner]

in my eyes. AM tired of these washed out halfed-As$ ports they keep putting out there. Pretty soon am just gonna give up of the company and not buy any of their games.

[sak500]

I suggest starting a petition to boycott Ubisoft's games. This way you wont have to worry about CAPCOM and Ubisoft screwing your beloved PS3. You can even add EA while you're at it.

[GameJunkieJim]

Ubisoft may have it's problems, but don't you think you should cast some of that blame on inefficient dev tools, poor architecture, and poor support from an extremely arrogant company?

"4 letters S-O-N-Y" - Jack Tretton

I myself am getting quite upset with sony in general, from rootkits to trojan machines that force people into a poor HD format. Thanks for the Blu-Ray player that I don't use Sony. Oh, Talledega Nights is only worth $4 in trade-in at GameStop... :(

[BubblesDAVERAGE]

Its a well known fact ps3 can do wat 360 does but better..its devlopers being lazy

[NextGen24Gamer]

Its a well known myth. Many of yall actually believed that the ps3 was going to be great for games. Yall bought into what Sony was claiming. But you should have known at launch "a year late" that it was all hype and no substance. Sony stated a long time ago that ps3 games would blow 360 games out the water at launch. And some of yall really believed that. And now you take it too personal when you find out it was all a lie. Get over it. I did. I just use my ps3 for movies right now. I have hopes of a great game to come at some point though. But I absolutely enjoy my 360 when it comes to Next Gen games. WOW

[lokimendivil]

fact. ps3s best looking game is, not as good looking as 360 best!

[Nervsys]

So you're saying its everyone's fault but your beloved Sonys?

[NextGen24Gamer]

There are many factors in how good a game looks.

1. What type of tv you are using.

2. What resolution you are playing it on.

3. What type of connection are you using. HDMI, componant, ect....

Those are just a few factors that play a "HUGE" role in how the game looks when you play it.

I'm so tired of fanboys blaming it on the developers. They do the best job they can and they are artists. They want to show off their best work on each system. They want PS3 owners to say "Man this is the best game ever" when they play the game they have developed. Some fall short of that but its not because they didn't try.

The fact of the matter is....Microsoft has superior developement tools over Sony. Many developers have clearly stated that the 360 is much easier and better for game developement. MS and ATI implimeneted some brilliant decisions in the hardware design that is just "NOW" being implimented in PC video cards. Micorosoft thought ahead in regards to the GPU and the 3 PPU stucture. Sure sony was attempting to be innovative whith the Cell. A one PPU processor with SPE's running off of it. And sure it pushes an amazing amount of "numbers"....But we are talking about games. And we all know why Sony added the blu ray player to the ps3. So with both decisions in Blu ray and the Cell....it was not a good decision for developers or games. Sure you can argue about if and when developers learn how to take advantage of Cell's power....But that's a big "IF" and "When". And in the meanwhile it costs 1/3rd more to develope for a system that isn't matching what the 360 is doing. Gamers are seeing it. Developers are seeing it. And many gamers have said "forget 600 for a system that isn't living up to the hype"...and many developers are saying..."why spend more money to make and inferior game and with a much smaller base of fans"....its going to be tuff for Sony this time around. Thats a fact.

Now in regards to the comparissons....I have played both systems, every game, and on the "SAME" tv. 1080p DLP 61 inch. There hasn't been "ONE" game that looks better on the ps3 yet. I'm sorry if that offends some die hard fanboys. But thats the complete truth. I will say this though. Even though Oblvion looks better on the 360 with the update. The ps3 version does benefit from faster load times. But thats it from what I have seen and compared. But the ps3 version has way more pop ins and the texture detail, lighting, and shadowing looks better on the 360 version. And Splinter Cell is not even close folks. The 360 version looks notibly better. But thats right on par with many other games. The 360 version looks anywhere from a tad better to much better. But not once have a seen a game where the ps3 version looks better on my TV with my set up.

Its not the developers. Put the blame where the developers put the blame. With Sony's choices in hardware this time around. All so they can attempt to be innovative and different. Gamers loose in the end with an over priced inferior system. But at least I can watch my extensive blu ray collection on it. So its cool with me. My 360 is for the best next gen gaming experience and my ps3 is for my blu ray collection. Oh, I use my 360 for my media center extension as well. Pretty neat stuff there.

[SmokeyMcBear]

all you have to look at is ninja gaiden sigma... you said it yourself.. its EASIER to develop for on the 360, that has nothing to do with the hardware thats involved. Granted, the tools could have been given out to make it easier to develop for, and thats all sony's fault. But don't worry the games are coming, better tools are being developed for, HS, Ninja Gaiden, R&C, LAIR, again, Gears came out one year after launch, in november, lets see what games PS3 has in november, I think we'll all be pleasantly surprised.

[Whoooop]

I'm giving my honest not biased opinion...

I really don't know s@#t about this, but i'm giving my point of view anyway..

I think that the default visuals for the PS3 when they are working on a port are going to look like that always.. The developers are going to do what they can to make it look good, believe it or not, because they are gonna look bad as a company..

The thing is devs are not going to make too many changes to try and make it beautiful when they have the game already made..

The 360 has that advantage, that games are going to look good and colorful by default thanks to ATI.. The PS3 is different and does not have that advantage.. for the PS3 to have a good colorful beautiful game, the devs have to work it hard.. For anybody that haven't seen a PS3 in action believe me games on it look amazing and colorful, but most of them are not going to look as colorful as other multiplatforms on the 360..

[FirstknighT]

Looks like another win for the 360. The 360 keeps on winning the comparison battle. Bottom line is that the ps3 was supposed to be kicking the 360s ass from day 1. Isn't that what Sony said?

"Next gen doesn't start until we say so!"

And the ps3 hasn't done nothing to take over the 360s next gen throne. Only the fanboys are buying the ps3.

Splinter Cell is a AAA franchise and the 360 gets the better version again. No more excuses!

I cant wait for GTA4 to come out and hear the excuses of "Rockstar sucks anyway!" when the 360 gets the better version! ;)

[BIadestarX]

Sony: Here is the most powerful game console ever made, it will blow the xbox 1.5 out of the water. Next Gen starts when we say so.

Gamer: WOW! I can't wait!

[1 1/2 years later]

Sony: Here we give you the PS3! With blu-ray and .... you want it! and it's only $600.

Gamer: WOW! Yes I want one. Wow, blu-ray movies look great!... Ok, let me play the games. $h!t no game invites!? Not all games have online features! (including those ports that have online for the 360).
Wait a minute, Gears look better than any games ever made for the PS3.
All these games comparison... games look the same or even better in some case on the 360. HOw can this be? No rumble? ohh let me try the new motion censitive ... oh wait... it's varely supported.

Sony: It's better but you are going to have to wait 2-3 years before developers can learn how to program... yeah cause we made it hard at purpose so games look better on the 360 at least for 2-3 years.
It's better damn it. It's the CELL. If you can see it your are an idiot.

Gamer: Crap, sony is losing all exclusives. They only have 2 I really want (Final Fantasy, Metal Gear).

[fenderputty]

more exclusives that I want.

[sajj316]

disagree or not ... I can't think of any recent Ubisoft games that have been decent on a Sony machine compared to a MS machine. This includes the PS2 and PSP. Why is that Bethsada or Ninja Theory come up with amazing ports/remakes and this company makes utter crap. Have you seen any of the Wii games by Ubisoft? TopGamer, as much as I respect your opinion mate, there is too much inconsistency to NOT put blame on development. I'm not sure if Ubi had any of the latest DEV Tools like EDGE during development. If they are trying to push this game out to capture sales from 3+ million PS3 gamers, they better put something worthy out. Otherwise, it just doesn't make sense to put out crap. If its crap, people will hold out.

I'm going to reserve my opinion on Ubi ports after Rainbow Six: Vegas and GRAW 2 for the PS3. If they turn up like crap ... there is a trend going on here and I'll treat Ubi just like I treat EA ... with very little respect.

[ItsDubC]

The Wii version looks WAY better and costs $10 less =)

Seriously tho, both look very good and just cuz console A's version looks better than console B's doesn't necessarily mean console A is more powerful. I doubt that the developers of this game (or any game for that matter) have the exact same level of familiarization with each console's hardware. Even if they did, the dev tools are gonna be different for each. I think it's funny how some ppl are being so nitpicky about the smallest detail just so they can justify their purchase of a particular console.

[SIX]

The 360 version looks ALOT! better. It shouldn't surprise thought. Splinter Cell has always been an XBOX thing. Wasn't it this franchise that served up the first killer app of XBOX? They (XBOX) must pay Ubi lots of money.

[n4g sucks]

these comparison shots are a joke. they had the same comparisons for armored core4 ( which i love ) and ALL the screen shots do no justice for the game. the ps3 version had all the effects, even the heat waves. Also the second i started the game it took me to a setup menu and even had a brightness control. Only fan boys care any more because real gamers know you cant trust no ones opinon about a game, you have to try it for your self....p.s. this game sux anyways

[StrongerCypher]

I agree there have been some muliplatform games that looked better on the PS3(FN3). However, in this case , the 360 looks way better to me. The PS3 look flat.

All in all, I think both systems will do well. I am very impressed with that R&C game for the PS3. I do not have a PS3 but my friend upstairs from me does and he likes it a lot. I guess that is all that matters. Play the system you like and have fun. Every one precieves things differently so we will never see eye to eye when comparing these systems. I prefer the 360 but like what the Ps3 has to offer.

[PSN Starfleets]

Explain to me why you need to own both fricking consoles to have an opinion on it?

It seems like any negative comment regarding the PS3, that is justified with the evidence of these and other screenshots, that people dismiss you and claim you dont own the system to make a judgement on it..??

Well thanks to the gaming community, you dont need to own the damn console to have a damn opinion on it..why on Earth do you think I come here..to LEARN about games and consoles and I will have my damn opinion on anything based on what I know.

PS3 versions of games already out on the 360 seem to be lacking in many factors generally speaking. It's a fact and we see it daily with evidence such as this..

I'm personally tired of people claiming it "tv resolution" "adjust your TV" "bias editors" and all the rest of that cheesy waste that can't be digested down those blatant fanboy stomachs.

Oh and for this lazy developer issue..

It's irrelevant. At the end of the day, there are games on that shelve that arent up to scratch and they are representing the PS3. It's up to the developers to fix that, but they're not bothered..so when will they ever be bothered to work hard in order to utilise the PS3's power...why should they even when they can focus on the 360 and get more money for their work? It doesn't make sense.

Another game on the PS3 that looks like utter utter crap. It's becoming a joke!

[MoonDust]

it's looks that much better on the 360.

[PSN Starfleets]

It's an absolute insult those that "invest in the potential of the PS3" get this in return for their money.

Play Beyond..yea right, Play Beyond Crap more like. All games should look better on the PS3.

Still waiting for that.

[Kyur4ThePain]

Why do you expect ALL games to look better on the PS3?
What is the reasoning behind that?
You really just show that you know nothing about the technology that you seem so passionate about. Do you even own a PS3?

[MoonDust]

All i did was point out the obvious, no need to go loco.

[Evoluti0n]

...according to eurogamer. Ridge Racer is better on the PS3, Def Jam is equal on both, Virtua Tennis 3 is better on the 360 because of online capabilities, NBA Street is better on the 360, and equal for Carbon. 1 win for Sony, 2 wins for the 360, and 2 ties. Take that for what it is.

[weekapaugh]

Games are a reflection of the Devs. One just has to look at Gears and Motorstorm to know both consoles are capable of incredible gaming experiences.

[richie007bond]

Your an a@@hole wishing someone to die cause they don't agree with your fan boy opinion,loser!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Says you]

They can always put the XBox 360 title on the PS3 version of Splinter Cell that is better. and than put the PS3 title on the XBox 360 version of Splinter Cell that is the worse. and further more PS3 has better lighting and the XBox 360 doesnt so technically I think IGN did the old switcharu by putting the XBox 360 title on the PS3 version of Splinter Cell that is better and putting the PS3 title on the XBox 360 version of Splinter Cell that is the worse. and of course it was the same thing with Madden when Gamespot lied about which version of the game was better. when we all know that the PS3 version is better only this time its different that IGN can put the PS3 title on the worse version on the game of Splinter Cell on the XBox 360 and put the XBox 360 title on the better version on the game of Splinter Cell that is on the PS3.

[richie007bond]

Are you blind you mindless fanboy,any fool can see that the 360 looks better end of story,am getting a ps3 myself but am not stupid enough to know when one version looks better than another,the 360 takes the crown on this on..

[richie007bond]

Wow the ps3 version looks like sh!t compared to the 360,wtf is going on here,the ps3 has had a lot more time to try and code and polish this game up and ends up looking like a poor second,sony needs to get its head out of its a@@ and show us all the hype its been banging on about for the last 2 years..........

[Kyur4ThePain]

that Sony is the developer for this game. I learn something every day.

[HaKeRsCanRotINHEL]

You think SC:DA looks good, just wait until SC5 ( 360 Exclusive ) comes out! :)

Remember: Play in their world, LIVE in ours. SEGA!!!

[MoonDust]

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Sexius Maximus]

That was awesome. I haven't seen that commercial in years!!! Props friend.

[IPlayGames]

theres only two screens that tell which one i 360 & PS3 but if PS3 is top the whole time then xbox looks better. Its always the same thing the PS3 looks more detailed the xbox looks brighter. (the two screens that are labeled there not even doing the same thing)

[HaKeRsCanRotINHEL]

SONY! 8~)

[SDS Gamerfiend]

That the ps3 version is more detailed when in the pic with him holding the knife to the guys neck, the 360 pic has way more detail with emotion on the hostages face and and with the hostage wearing glasses and all?! The ps3`s hostage has no emotion and looks like a dead doll just like the system that it`s being played on!

[Says you]

Considering I doubt that splinter Cell 5 will be exclusive for the XBox 360 for long.

[MoonDust]

:)

[xg-ei8ht]

Comparing a game and sorry a crap one at that.

I'm suprised it dosent look the same or better on the ps3. Not checked much on this, and havent had any secret info's.

Does it look like a bad port, from what i'm seeing yes it does. Look at the flag on the guys arm, its as blurry as hell. Maybe ubisoft just wanted it out the door.

Like any title on any platform, cross porting is mainly always poorish, unless you have devs who really give a dam.

I'm waiting for quake war enemy terrority. That is due out on pc,ps3,xbox360.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

Honestly, is anyone suprised? The difference is huge. And where the h3// is the moon on the ps3 version?

[Antan]

"And where the h3// is the moon on the ps3 version?"

Absolutely THE best line of the day!!!

[SDS Gamerfiend]

The Ps3 bleached it out hahaha!

[SIX]

I think this issue rests in the hands of the developers and not Sony.
To respond to an earlier post. I think that having both consoles is an advatage when making oppinions about games. Do you believe everything you see on line? I've played games for both systems and I find that they both match up very well. I'm a little bit miffed when I see these comparisons. I bought an inferior version of a game based on one of these comparisons and got burned. That game was Ridge Racer. I can't understand why PS3 games are represented as inferior to it's 360 counterpart. The only conclusion I can come up with is that there are alot of PS haters out there working overtime to showcase the PS3 in a negative light. Not just fans but even professional journalists.

[gnothe1]

what if AC is better on the 360, an we know that game was built for the PS3. there was one ubisoft employee that said the xbox 360 version would have better A.I an something else(cant remember). like was said earlier if sony hadn't made all those bogus claims we wouldn't even be having these comparisons!! because this was never that bad between xbox1 an PS2.(well the xbox 1 won hands down so we didnt need debated comparisons!! an anyway I thought with sony fans it was all about the game play.Ps2 has games xbox1 has graphics, I rather have good games!! now for some reason all of that have flipped!!

[ALIEN]

And i agree that the 360 version looks better. I think that we should wait 5 months or so, because ps3 is hard to develop and it takes more time, it's up to the developers. Some ps3 games will look better than 360 games, like MGS4, HEAVENLY SWORDS, KILLZONE, EIGHT DAYS, RATCHET & CLANK, and may be GTA4, ect.

[Nervsys]

The problem is that your 'excuse' is sonys excuse for everything.

The PS3 will be brilliant - tomorrow.

But I want to play today.

[SDS Gamerfiend]

Wait, wait, wait! The next generation of consoles will be out by then!

[xg-ei8ht]

If you look at the pc version of this game it had awful fps for most systems.

8800gts graphics were screwed at the time of the demo as well.

This insert is directly from AnandTech whom i fully respect.

(For the more stressful cruise ship benchmark, we can see how much performance impact a highly detailed area can have in this game. The cruise ship level is one of the more graphically intensive levels of the game, and this is one of the places where your hardware will really make a difference in gameplay. The 7900 GS manages to run this benchmark smoothly at 1280x1024, but if you want to play the game at 1600x1200 you will have more flexibility with ATI hardware. The performance difference, coupled with the smoother operation and fewer crashes, make ATI hardware a much better solution for running this game than NVIDIA.)

Make of it as you will. But This game never ran well on Nvidia hardware.

[ALIEN]

If SONY is working on a game, it will look better than that s!@#, i bet HALO 3 will look better than GOW, why? because MS is working on it, the same company that own th 360, they know how to do it better than anyone. See what i mean? it's up to the developers, "i think".

[ThaGeNeCySt]

Bungie is doing Halo 3

[BIadestarX]

"Why do you expect ALL games to look better on the PS3?"
1) PS3 has the cell which is the most powerful processor in the world (Base on what sold says).
2) The PS3 has blu-ray (I know it has nothing to do with graphics, but Sony and Fanboys would like you to believe that it makes games better.
3) Why would anybody pay $600 to play games like this when the $299 360 SKU can produce better looking games.
4) Cause Sony said it would.
5) Cause you Sony fanboys said it.
6) Cause as you argue all the time the PS3 is a more powerful console, and we are not talking Isolated cases, but pretty much almost if not all 3rd party games. And 1st party games havent being able to match microsoft 1st parties.

What is the reasoning behind that?
None! But you shouldn't blame xbox 360 fans. I honesly believe the PS3 is a great console and it will have great games. Also I am sure that some games will look crazy in it and both the 360 and the PS3 will continue to push and define gaming in terms of graphics and gameplay for years to come. But, Sony does not want people to think that both consoles are powerful, "Next Gen starts when we say so" and you Sony fanboys don't want to accept the fact that the 360 kicks @$$. Sony put themselves and you in the middle of the fire and not expect to get burn. When Sony and their fanboys stop trying to convince people that the 360 is not worth buying maybe we can focus on playing the damn games.

[Shaka2K6]

This comparin is patethic and we all know PS3 destroys the x360 graphics power,latest tech ect. this proves nothing but game devs are being lazy trying to take full advantage of the PS3 true power.

[BIadestarX]

Ok, let's say that you are right... and "devs are being lazy". Now what? You are still getting more inferior games compare to the 360. You can blame and b!tch all the looonnngg... and at the end of the day it will come down to the game. Regarless of who's fault it is, it sucks having to wait for 1-2 developers that aren't "lazy" to get your money's worth, specially when these very same developers are producing better content for the cheaper console with the best online service.

[waldopepper]

Sure there are differences but does it really tell us anything about each console? Maybe they didn't have enough development budget left ofter to develop the PS3 version to the level of excellence they wanted to.

[gnothe1]

both systems are good both systems will have great games, but sony is really showing you that you paid the extra 200 for blu ray, wifi an the bigger HDD. because systems performance wise(games)the year old tech in the 360 is really looking quite fresh!!

[Raist]

Oblivion says Hi

[N4G_FANBOY_CRAP]

Oblivion shows that if the time/ money is spent the game can be better, Ubi's quality has been lacking of late, this splinter cell is the worst of the series.

[MoonDust]

weird
What ever happened to that I before E except after C. Weird <<< Weird!

[Ps3007]

Go look at GRAW for PC and this isnt the 1st time they have pulled this. They obviously dont know how to code other than on a Windows Platform..

Wouldnt be surprised if Assassins Creed turns out like garbage as well...

Sorry but Oblivion is a way more intensive game then this so obviously they REALLY did not try hard...

I wont be buying it. Nor any other game that does this. Mise will save your time devs.

[Hayabusa 117]

It's confirmed then. A PS fanboy says Splinter Cell: Double Agent looks better on the 360/worse on the PS3. Can we all go home now?

[neogeo]

It would have been better if Sony told us that PS3 was only about great games like Nintendo did. Then there would not be all this bad press. BUT noooo Sony showed us games that blew our minds at e3 I personally have the DVD set from e3. I have watched it like a billion times. I was so excited. Honestly Motorstorm looks great, but when I powered it on I was really sad:( Its not what I was shown or promised. I do believe that PS3 will pull ahead of 360 some day.

The problem is that people like us have very big and vivid imaginations. {thats what makes us gamers}So when you tell us that a game is gonna blow our minds before we see It. We say wow! Then we close our eyes and picture this beautiful paradise of a game with more on screen then you could literally dream. (no pun intended) So please tell us that the game will suck before we really see it, so we can dream of crappy graphics then be shocked that the game looks nice:)

[Robotz Rule]

+100 comments for just comparing two same games,pathetic!

I own both a Playstation 3 and Xbox 360,so I really don't care!

And the Wii?,I've got nothing to say.....

[Albie360]

I own 2 360's. Thought a PS3 would actually be cool but it aint. I bought myself one and a copy of motorstorm. I was so disapointed with the S!@#t that I sold it to the next idiot i could find the next morning for a 150 dollars less, yust to get rid of the junk!!! Any ashole claiming that the blue-ray player is an great gaming colsole aswell, just do not have an clue what great gaming and xbox live is about.

[snoop_dizzle]

I wouldn't be surprised if the PS3 version, would look better, considering how many times Ive been told that games would look better. The question is how much better. Personally from what i've seen from oblivion and this game, nothing really makes me want to say ,"hey, i need a PS3." Perhaps in a year ill get a PS3, but not right now. Theres enough to keep me entertained on the 360, + i have a life and college so i have to find time juist to play mass effect and halo 3 etc.. as it is.

Sorry i got a little off topic

Some of the pictures wer hard to see, but one comparison seemed to show the 360 had a slightly better look. But either way, both look freaking good. And thats good enough for me.

btw what are those thingys to the right of the posted username. They have a series of timy text boxes and button one shuts the user up, and the other button lets him speak. So you only have a limited amount of posts here?

[Shaka2K6]

devs are being lazy which means its the game devs fault it looks bad ( if thats the case since this is isnt really something u can really trust here ) not Sony's or PS3, look at Oblivion if the game devs really want it they can make the games on PS3 look better since its the better console.

[00]

I don't think the devs are being lazy because what if they don't know the codeing for the PS3 or it's really hard to do it or there running out of time and money so I don't think there lazy.

[snoop_dizzle]

game developers should get more money for their games. I think it would greatly improve gaming in general.

[snoop_dizzle]

i didn't mean more money from us, but from whatever company they are working for, Microsoft Sony, and Nintendo.

[PS3n360]

but i still think the 360 version is nicer looking for this particular game. The clouds look nicer on the ps3 version but overall 360 wins hands down. i am waiting for a couple 2nd gen sony exclusives before laying down the cash but for multi platform games i will buy the 360 versions for the graphics and the online play. The fact that we are all argueing which is better means that there isnt always a clear winner overall for all games so we can sumize that we have two powerful next gen systmes to choose from and that kicks ass. no need to fight over it

[Shaka2K6]

PS3 is harder to code for beacuase the PS3 is not just some tweak PC like the x360 this is why most x360 games also are coming out to Pc beacuase they are so alike, and the PS3 has the Cell which is new technology like nothing you will ever see on PC for years.

[ITR]

I guess you forget the 360 uses 3 PPC processors...basically a G5 Mac.
You would be going from PPC to Intel architecture.
So it's not easy.

[snoop_dizzle]

agreed illbientone.

[xg-ei8ht]

I and many others have never said the 360 is crap or even close to those remarks, and sorry but anyone that slags the 360 is an idiot.

I've played a few games on the 360, G.O.W, PGR3, LOST PLANET, And tbh, think they all have nextgen fx and look the dogs:)

What i'm saying here is plain and simple, this is a bad port, nothing more. Considering i've seen ut3 running on both consoles and they both look the same.(do not question me on fps etc.) just wait and see.

Is the ps3 complex to program for = yes it is.
How hard is it. using the spu's through small chunks of data for a.i,etc takes time. Why, because sony took along while getting all devs upto speed(u already know this)

There are some fantastic games coming out for both consoles. And will all look amazing. But some of them are for 360 only and for ps3 only, how long this will last is anyones guess, considering the amounts of money and time spent developing these games, they want to get them to as many ppl as possible. i/e multiplatform = more money.

On the statement of blu-ray. Yes blu-ray will increase graphics, and sound quality, because of the amount of data it can hold. Thats the reason G.O.W was a short game by alot of ppl's standards. High textures took alot of gb's.

Now, at the moment xbox360's graphics are superior in quite a few games, such is the ease of developing for the console, which infact does not cost as much as producing for ps3.

But i do know the 360 has hit a threshold. You see lost planet, pushed the system to its limits(And that was from the devs themselves) does it mean they'll be no great looking games, no it dosent, there are many to come.

Point is, 360 is running at speed. ps3 is not. Once engines for ps3 are in place, you'll see a turnaround.

At the end of the day, Both consoles are doing fine. And they are both putting out some sweet games, choose your games, then choose your console.

Peace!

[ben hates you]

JUST BY TYPING SOMETHING SAYING THAT THE XBOX 360 HAS MAXED OUT DOESN'T MAKE IT SO, IF YOU HAD PROOF FROM DEVLOPERS SAYING SO THEN YA MAYBE JUST MAYBE SOME ONE WOULD BELIEVE YOU BUT AS FAR AS I'VE SEEN PS3 IS NOTHING SPECIAL, AND YOU ARE AN IDIOT. FACT

[Shaka2K6]

Yeah but the PS3 has the best technolgy the best games and the best Free online service.

[TheXgamerLive]

That's all the ps3 fans have to say isn't it?

Better tech, no not even close when it comes to a gaming console, better as a PC's tech sure, no not better games (are you blind)?, no not better online, I know you say again, but but but but it's free, no, it's not if you want to do anything at all, the Xbox live is less that $4.99 a month, is that too much for your pocket for superior online gold service?

Wake the "F" up lil boy.

Oh yeah regarding UT3, well wait until it comes out, guess what's going to probably be delayed and have inferior online as well as jaggies etc....? Any guess?, b/c NO, you havent seen it on both console yet. Watch, the ps3 will suffer, guaranteed!!!

And when it does again this time, please stop the excusses of but but but but or wait wait wait wait until................

[Xtrm L1481L1TY]

No Soft shadows $599
No A.I. Facial emotions $599
No moonlight reflection off water $599
Realising you could play the better version for $200 less....Priceless.

[Fortis]

Why do people always take those articles to start this stupid childish console war?

The only thing the screens say ist that the 360 port of double agent is better than the port for the ps3.

Does anyone wants to compare it with the pc version? Is the pc half a year ahead? Or behind? Does it mean anything? I care not a s...t what console is better. I have my favorite and even it the other console is better- good for it. Doesn't change my opinion anyway.

[FeralPhoenix]

I have to admit this is the first comparison IMO that looks "alot" better on the 360 version. -Now to be honest that says more about Ubisoft's commitment to the PS3 version than what the PS3 is capable of. -No I don't think everytime a multiplatform game comes out looking better on the 360 it means the dev's are lazy, -NO, but I DO think that you have to consider this from the dev's point of view which is its "harder" to get the same results out of the PS3 without spending more time and more money vs. what it costs for the 360 which most dev's say has better tools. -In other words the tools are not as good, it takes longer and costs more. Which is why IMO the "majority" of multiplatform games are going to look at least slighty better on the 360 for at least a couple of years.

This doesn't mean the PS3 isn't capable of just as much but the question is will the dev's go out on a limb and invest the extra costs/risk for a PS3 version of the same game that at least for now will most likely sell LESS copies than the 360 version? (360 install base and games attach ratio). Now I'll say it again, which I'm sure most of you know; the exclusive games is where you will see the best of what each console has to offer (at the moment) and just like all generations before they will continue to get better and better on both platforms. Now as far as exclusive games graphics go, I think over the life cycle we will see some exclusives on both platforms out-do whats has been done "so far" on the other console but I still think the 360 will have a "slight" edge overall(its subjective) in the graphics dept mainly because of the 360's GPU and dev tools, of course Sony is making better tools as we speak, and both PS3 & 360 tools will continue to improve as dev's work with them. The bottom line is exclusive's are where you will see your money and both consoles will have some great ones. -Its good time to be a GAMER.

[Shaka2K6]

its ubisoft fault they suck at making good games and ports.

[Vulcan Raven]

So lets not compare games that came out in the early stages of the console. Look at the physics in DOA4 hey im standing in a puddle and the water doesn't seem to move, how odd, what a great game, visually stunning( haha ha) wait until you see games made specifically for each console then make some comparisons. Hey wow gears looks better than RFOM, wow console out for 1.5 years and uses different engine. So stop your b1tchin and be happy with what you bought.

[DJ]

"PS3 games are too dark!"

Now I'm hearing "PS3 games are too bright!" Which one is it?

[Vulcan Raven]

I was curious about that 2, everyone complains about ps3 is so bright it is washed out blah blah blah, o could it be that they mixed up the shots like they did in other comparisons.

[gnothe1]

you my friend are such a LIAR!! never has it been said that the PS3 games are to dark!! it was always the xbox games that were referred to as dark an more colorful!! remember the armored core comparison in the tunnel!! its been said that all PS3 games were to light an looked bleached an washed out!! so this goes to show how much you lie just to swing anything in favor of the PS3.

[TotalEklypz]

So sick of these, they were cool at first, but if you paid for a PS3, get it on that, if you paid for a 360, get it on that. It's not that tough. If you have both systems, get it on the original system it was programmed for or whichever is cheaper. Not that tough of a decision. Can't make up your mind?...Get a life. I've had more trouble picking out a toothbrush.

[Bigmac573]

Give me a break Ubisoft, now you're getting as bad as EA.

[TheExecutive]

The PS3 version looks like sh!t!!! Period. YOu know who is to blame?

Sorry little xbots it isn't the PS3...

ITS THE DEVELOPERS! There is really no excuse for the laziness that I see... SO I will not be supporting the PS version of this game

[XerockX]

yeah yeah, I know a lot a people have both systems, as do I, But I cant help but going with the 360 on any multi-platform release games.Not just because most of them are coming out for the 369 first,but hell i dunno why...you would think that after buying a ps3 in feb. that i would be a little more pro sony , but damn, I cant help it.I do love my 360.
As for Vf5 being better than doa - total matter of opinion. If you cant take a fighter online now a days - whats the friggin' point.IMO DOA4 owns vf5 and I do own them both. Although I'm sure I'll be trading the ps3 one in when it comes out on 360 just so I can play online.-oh and listen to whatever music I want when I'm playing.(another off topic point, why the hell cant u listen to what u want when playing on yer ps3? dee-de-dee!)
yeah ps3 rules...;0

[Dragonopolis]

Darkness doesn't bother me as I know that different electronic devices have different settings on TVs and know that the PS3 is adjustable but the things I did notice that might put the PS3 in favor of the xbox for some.

1. Thought the people were a little two green looking in the xbox 360 version. This also could have been a color setting problem in the Television that can be fix (for instance tint, color setting). I like the PS3 version better.

2. I thought the sky was too cartoony on xbox 360 version. The PS3 contrast problem kind of hid it but if set appropriately I thought the clouds, moon, and sky looked a tad bit more real. However, the first two pictures showing the light in the water favored xbox 360.

3. Shadowing on the PS3 seem better than on the xbox 360. It was really hard to notice because the contrast was way to dark on the PS3 shots but again I hate these comparisons. I just might go out and get a PS3 and do my own with high picture quality and done with the Television calibrated specifically to each the device and place it on the net but then if it did favor a console it would just be flame bait so a real waste of time in my opinion.

I don't really like these comparisons. Any real knowledgeable person in home electronics knows that you have to calibrate your television for each individual device. A DVD player will look different on the same tv with the same settings than my xbox 360, which will look different than the PS3 on the same Television settings. A lot of good HD sets have even more fine tune control over the picture which can either make the picture really good or really bad.

I don't trust these comparisons. I have seen really good lighting effects on the PS3 in other screen shots and on my buddy's Television. Ubisoft or any other game developer would be shooting themselves in the foot if they start releasing crap - try blaming it on the console - when other Developers are releasing quality titles. This whole article is just flame bait to garnish attention to themselves. Its a cheap trick and I will only take my word after I see the game on MY console which will be Calibrated to MY television set.

I have my xbox 360 calibrated quite nicely on my Television and it looks awesome. Luckily my TV has the ability to save color/tv settings for each connection and so I will be able to run both game systems at their optimize settings when I decide to get the PS3. I've seen these comparisons done before and the xbox 360 was made to look bad so I just ignore all of it.

Damn, there seems to be a lot of immature Xbox 360 fans on this site. Just Chill, you got a 360 just play the game if you like it. Leave the Sony guys alone. It's not like the PS3 version is that far off and Ubisoft isn't what I call a Specialize Game Developer so I would not expect Halo/Gears/Heavenly Sword/Drake quality titles from them. They have already stated they favor Xbox 360 anyways so their Bias already. Wait till the PS3 starts getting games that are close to this style of gaming and are made by a company who is known to be less bias toward the PS3. For instance in my opinion, I still think Gears (which I have) and Resistance (which my buddy has and looks damn good looking on his tv) pawns this game graphically so if there are any problems blame Ubisoft not Sony.

[SDS Overfiend]

Lazy Ain't the Developers. The Developers Don't Have the Right Tools.

You cannot use a Wrench to take out a Flat-head Screw.

The PS3 pic with Dude in the Choke Look like a 2 Mannequin humping while the Xbox version looks like a Nigga getting drape up for the bricks. Plain and simple this goes back to the O.G. Xbox version and PS2 version of Splinter Cell where the Xbox Smash on the Ps2 version with superior lighting,Shading,Framerates and Overall Presentation.

get use to this it was nothing new to begin with in the first place. History repeats itself.

[coolbeer1990]

i hate the ps3 for a long time because only of one reason,.....that there are very less games available for it....and noe i also hate it because of it multiplatform graphics breakdown....sorry ps3 ....u have lost the console war......hhiiiipp huuurraa 360 reigns supreme

[original seed]

Cause the PS3 version looks like CR@P

[GameJunkieJim]

This should be old news:

http://www.gamespot.com/fea...

The PS3 has fallen behind their promises on many other occasions. This story is essentially a yawn. Most people already know that the XBox delivers more consistent graphically. The archetecture is superior, a bank of memory that a developer can allocate to whatever he wishes instead of being locked at this for this, that for that.

[Mike]

I whish i had a PS3 now so i would trade it for an xbox360.
Too bad i already have an x360.

[chrisin3]

lol...are you guys even thinking? Turn on your TV, insert Splinter Cell for the XBOX 360, and begin playing. Are you telling me that game is the most graphically compelling game you've seen? Is splinter cell pushing the absolute limits of the Xbox and PS3? You all know it's not, yet everyone is acting like the PS3 cannot "handle" a game like splinter cell, even though there are games that look better than splinter cell on the playstation 3 right now. Not to mention, have you seen the screens/videos for ratchet and clank, killzone, and metal gear 4? So....ps3 can't handle the port? They can make Ninja Gaiden at 1080P, 60 FPS, and self-shadowing (i am sure you have all read this crap) but the PS3 can't handle SPlinter cell. Let's use common sense here. I applaud the Xbox for having a better version. I regret that playstation's version sucks, but this obviously doesn't have anything to do with hardware capabilities . . .

[GameJunkieJim]

- of whether it can handle it. It's a question of WHY they DIDN'T handle it, and it comes down to poor system architecture, poor software tools, and poor support from Sony.

Ninja Gaiden is a port of a 4 year old game, in development for over 2 years. They are having a time porting it because of the crap software maybe, but that game should have been out at launch, if sony cared about it.

Metal Gear... well if that's your thing,fine. But frankly they haven't been very good since 1987. Metal Gear was not as fun to me in 3D, and now Kojima is beating a dead horse. Let the franchise go already, surely you have enough talent to make a different game.

Ratchet and Clank and Killzone are first-party (essentially re:Insomniac) and get their money for development as well as teams with a more intimate understanding of the console. And even the CGI video of Killzone 2 is dissapointing when compared to GeOW or similar games.

You are correct, it's not the hardware at all. Sony does make powerful hardware. the issue is horendous software and a lack of effort by Sony to correct their mistakes.

[achira]

gamejunkiejin you have no credibility! i mean come on, to compare Geow with the Killzone trailer and to say Geow Looks better is total arrogant and idiotic. i dont know but i think the best word suited for this is "brainwashed". in no way looks Geow so good as the Killzone trailer, we dont know how it is about the final game, but the trailer is 100000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000 times better.

[GameJunkieJim]

I have no credibility? From the person who is down to two bubbles?

I have credibility, I just have a differing opinion.

In my opinion, the Killzone trailer I saw looked great, but was nothing spectacular. Sorry. In case you couldn't tell by the avatar, I do tend to have a slight bias for Microsoft, although it's not as much as many would think.

At least Microsoft hasn't tried to install malware on my computer like Sony has.

[kcdude]

I played them both and I'll tell you what...the ps3 version does not look that bad. I'd rate them the same in terms of graphics and if there were some decent screen shots up, you would all agree.

[TylerDurden]

Sony brought this on themselves with all the overhyping. People wouldn't have been so critical if they didn't hype it up so much and trash on the xbox.

Seriously though this is getting kind of old. Let's just say that both systems have great graphics and the difference is defintely less than the xbox/ps2 comparisons from last gen.

With titles like HS, Mass Effect, Bioshock, MGS us gamers are in for a treat in the near future. The 360 is my preferred system but I am ready to start playing more games on my PS3. Just release some of the games, I don't care if they match the E3 demo or not.

Hopefully Sony is not pressuring devs to not release games so they can take more time polishing them up for a 5% increase in graphics. I would rather be playing games like HS, KZ II, and MGS4 NOW instead of having to wait another year. I doubt they are doing something like that but damn just give me a release date or two.

As far as this game, the original Splinter Cell was a graphical powerhouse. It seems like this series is slipping a lot(not just in the graphics dept either), hopefully the next version will be better. I can't believe there are 140+ posts on this topic. Both systems have great graphics, lets just leave it at that.

[OutpostCommand]

Im actually quite disappointed by these screens - I would really think that the PS3 would atleast match the 360 version.
Ill give it the benefit of the doubt, and put it down to it being a crappy port, for today.

[TheMART]

PS3 pwned by the 360 AGAIN???

HOW MANY TIMES

i ask you

HOW MANY TIMES

Does it need to happen? And every time again the same lame excuses. Lazy developers, ports blablabla

whatever.

It doesn't matter why actually. Fact is, the 360 gets the better games period. And people see it.

So till when do we have to wait to get the good games on the PS3?

This is waiting dudes. If you like it, go spend 600 Euro. It's a waste though when you get the best games on the 360

[marison]

... because people have used your PS3 and sometime in the future your Xbox 360 to help projects like Folding@Home and Rosetta@Home. This is amazing!

Soon we will have some results from that more than double past percent calculations that PS3 attach to Folding@Home.

People need to see your system of choice performing well to the public, much more than PC vs Macs, per example.

PS3 vs Xbox 360 war will help to discover cure for some types of cancer, preview earthquakes and maybe recognize a frequency from one good alien radio with a kind of alien heavy metal.

[PSN Starfleets]

I'd like to sum up what everyone's been saying.

This article is NOT about the power of the PlayStation 3. It has nothing to do with the potential of he PlayStation 3. This article, however, is emphasising the sheer audacity that yet again more multiplatform games look better, and in some cases play better, on the cheaper Xbox 360.

So if you own a PlayStation 3, please be aware that the only games you can rely on are 1st party and 2nd party exclusives and other than that - you will get your assed sewed with crappy editions of Xbox 360 games.

The developers hate you. Accept it. Try to enjoy your games.

$600/£425 money well spent. Don't you think?

P.S. I hope you have enough money to start a Blu-Ray collection.

[highps3]

Hope your 360 breaks.. Probably will.

[PSN Starfleets]

Sorry. Try agin. Hating on the messenger won't make the game better.

But I can understand your frustration at the truth in my previous post. It hurts doesn't it.

And my 360 hasn't broken at all since I got it on launch. It also shows off Splinter with better graphics ;)

[4me2]

"This article is NOT about the power of the PlayStation 3. It has nothing to do with the potential of he PlayStation 3. This article, however, is emphasising the sheer audacity that yet again more multiplatform games look better, and in some cases play better, on the cheaper Xbox 360."

So why the sarcasm? -"Developers hate you...Accept it"

BTW $400+extras for 360(which I own) is not really cheap either. If you want pure gaming console buy Wii.

Ports will look better on 360 for now. When PS3 will sell 10 mil situation may change, by that time devs will have more experience and more incentives to rewrite portions of code that work for 360 and not for PS3. While 360 is still traditional 'code base' machine (like PC) from dev point of view, PS3 is 'data centric' machine that requires totally different approach from DAY ONE.

SC was in development from 12 to 15 months for 360. That costs millions $$. Now they're not going to invest another mil on the top of it to sell 3 times less copies(PS3=smaller install base).
Game publishers and dev are in business of max their profits making investors happy.

PS.
My Blu-R collection is growing, thanks for asking.

[THAMMER1]

Will look better too. This game used to get allot of attention from Sony boys but now your interest in this game has been threatened because it will turn out better on the 360. Ubi has already said so.

Will you be happy gamers if all you had was Sony 1st party games. ((NO)) I would not be happy if all I had was M$ 1st party games because I enjoy allot of multi platform games. That is why I choose the 360. Better games, services, Developer support, and joysticks all around.

You Sony guys had no idea Sony was going to pull this BS on you. If you let it go and put you money where you hobby is best supported you would not have to worry about defending SONY So MUCH.

One of you guys mentioned Kill ZONE 2. I cannot wait for that game to come out. It will get owned by Halo 3. Halo 3 is postured to break movie and video game records this year.

Call me what ever you want after you read my post but you know what I say is true. You just do not want any bad press or statement made about Sony. If games were your 1st love in this HOBBY you would not have any problems. But you1st love is an over promising company who shows you no real love back.

[techie]

1150degrees! What a record. SOmetimes I think most of you care about criticising consoles rather than playing on them. Hey ho. Just reading the guidlines it says that something will get to 1000degrees if playstation 4 is announced...how wrong they were.

Thammer don't be so rude and talk to people like that. I don't go to school. And the point is, I'm not criticising a console. I'm not criticising anything. And there you are with all your p[]ssy remarks saying "why does everybody hate the 360" well this post proves how much your comments are way off. Can see that the only person that hates on a console is you thammer...really I thought you wanted the end of that? Just shows you were talking out of your @ss

**edit**Thammer I have spread no lies. I have been very reasonable. I have never said the 360 is crap or that the ps3 graphics are better Tham. What I said was there are wins and losses on both sides, which is the truth. Where have I discredited the 360 anywhere? All I've seen is people discredit the devs who work very hard on the ps3 games...and I've said they don't look as bad as people think, the differences are either minimal, or sometimes the 360 edges ahead and others the ps3 edges ahead. I pointed towards one article that said that and I could find you many more.

Is it true that ps3 wins on some games? Is it? That's all I was pointing at and showing that Antan was wrong to say that all cross-platform games look better on the 360, which Antan himself then agreed with. I have said nothing more than that. I haven't hated on a console, I certainly haven't hated on another person.

I apologised to Antan, we are actually good mates,,,and he understood exactly what I was saying and was disappointed at the lies that were spread by guys like TopGamer.

Never will I belittle a console or devs, but I won't believe the FUD that some like to believe. I've never seen someone be so angry towards a company and a console, when you yourself punish others for being angry to Microsoft.

Ps. Tham also I think you'd like to know that the above pictures are actually fake :) report coming soon...

[THAMMER1]

So what do you do? Do you play consoles or what. Your too busy to play because your neck deep in school work. Or are yo after you PHD. PLAYER HATERS DEGREE.

Your lame. HEY YO!!!

Oh H@ll no are you PHU(KING serious boy!!!? Are you really saying that I’m a hypocrite? 1st off you are the one who had to change your post. You are the one who began this crap in this thread. Every thing I posted in here is in direct response to you and your support B.S. of blame developers. You have attempted to discredit the 360 and the work of many DEVELOPERS who WORK hard to make our HOBBY fun and enjoyable.

YOU MY FRIEND are a snake. You act as if we do not know you post one thing then change it around after some one pulls up your skirt. $#!T at least I am MAN enough to offer an apology to those I misunderstood. But NO NOT YOU WILL PRESS THE ISSUE EVEN IF YOU HAVE Been Busted FOR BEING DEAD WRONG.

You Also BROKE THE MARTS RECORD FOR THE MOST DISSAGREES IN ONE THEAD. YOU’RE A SNAKE @SS HYPOCRYT AND IT IS NOT EVEN CALLED FOR SONY DID NOT FORCE YOU INTO A FAN boy YOU CHOSE TO BE ONE.

Attleast THE MART HAS BEEN CONSISTANT. AND YEAH HE IS A BIT EXTREAM. BUT FOR SOME REASON HE IS THE MOST RELIABLE EXTREAM GAMER HERE AND HE DOSE NOT THROW ROCKS and HIDE HIS HANDS LIKE YOU. YOU’RE A PU$$Y LOL LOL

And I GIVE YOU A HRAD TIME BECAUSE(( I DO NOT LIKE YOUR B!T(# @SS.)) YOU SPREAD LIES AND YOU FAN THE FLAMES OF THE MANY MISSINFORMED SON FANS OUT HERE. YOU ARE A PARSITE, A FRUAD And a LIE. You GET no respect.

[NextGen24Gamer]

I couldn't have said it better myself. WOW. And many "Gamers" agree with you. Kudo's buddy.

[candystop]

All of you guys are sad! How can you sit up here and argue over videogames! We have a great year of games and movies coming out this year and you guy's want to start it off by trying to make each other feel as though they made a bad choice! Sony and MS are doing there best to entertain us so let's stop fighting and talk about the good things in gaming! It's not that hard to let go of the hatred and just talk about the things that really matter! I really hope that all of the consoles do well and can't wait to play MGS4 on PS3 and Splintercell 5 on 360! There is no point in this arguing, it's stupid and immature so all of you people need to seriously grow the F up! People will buy what they want and don't need your approval rating on what they choose to purchase! Also shadowrun is a really fun game and very addictive! I hope it does well even though this year is going to be hectic with title after title!

[Violater]

who is to be blamed here if the PS3 version doesn't look as good??
Not the console but the developer.
Its a port and a very bad one at that, argueing over this is... well, pointless.....

[radizo]

You guys are wasting your time & energy on this article. I have this game and enjoying it on my PS3. These screen shots that are posted here is totally misleading. The pics they show are not what you see on the PS3. Someone seems to have mislead everyone here. Kill this article cause its just not true screen shots. PS3 version looks just as good as the 360 version and in some cases better especially when under water.

[THAMMER1]

Video Head-to-Head: Double Agent
See the PS3 and 360 versions running side by side.
By David Clayman
April 5, 2007 - We'll be adding PS3 version of the game to the full written Head-to-Head later this week. To hold you over we've synced up some hi-res video of the PS3 and 360 versions of the game. We noticed some major visual differences between the two builds including:

The PS3 versions of the game is much brighter. This was also an issue in Oblivion, but while Bethesda's game was simply easier to see, Double Agent's gameplay relies on deep blacks and the lighting on PS3 came off as less dynamic in many areas. It's a trade off. When Sam first drops into the water on 360 it's difficult to get your bearings and figure out the correct direction to swim. However on PS3 you'll switch to night vision less often because there seems to be plenty of ambient light even in the "dark" areas.
The PS3 versions is lacking some small details present on 360. For example when we first enter Sam's prison cell there is a chessboard on the ground and some scattered belongings next to his bed. These aren't included on PS3. There are also a few less background characters in the prison and different fire effects.
On 360 Sam's night vision included a graphical effect that warped the screen and seemed to outline objects with a thick black line. On PS3 the night vision looks more like old style.

The point is not which console is better but why as gamers should we fabricate and try to mislead each other. Sony has dug this hole not any one member of N4G.

[snoop_dizzle]

thats the one thing i think gamers misconstrue, that the 360 or PS3(according to some) doesn't have the power to have great graphics. Those gamers usually being a PS3 fanboy, or a 360 fanboy, dissing the others console of choice. From what I've seen, the PS3 has potential, and the 360 has some great graphics. But don't hate.

Now maybe i can understand some PS3 fanboys being mad for losing some exclusives. But still you guys act like little kids, and try to knit pick everything "wrong" with the 360. Sure there are things wrong with the 360, but the same is true about the PS3.

And I'm not leaving 360 fansboys out either. Look, right now you should be thanking sony, because you know have more games to play. why such hate?

[THAMMER1]

I do not hate the PS3 at all. But I do despise the lying low life fan boys on both sides. I have been a member here for almost 2 years and I have had it with the freaks and fanatics. I actually have has some great times with the PS3, VF5 is real fun.

But the PS3 fan boys on this site are the type I know lie to the people they really could give some helpful info to and that $#! t burns me up. I know I act like a lit stick of dynamite but D@MN if I do not have it honest.

I treat BUSH SUPPORTERS and people who are cruel to animals the same way.

[radizo]

I know IGN has an article in comparing the two versions as you noted. But as he writes, "The PS3 versions of the game is much brighter" and "PS3 versions is lacking some small details present on 360. For example when we first enter Sam's prison cell there is a chessboard on the ground and some scattered belongings next to his bed".......as you can read, he points out 'brighter', and all these pics claimed for the PS3 posted here is dark, not bright. And details if you read, is meant to say details of some objects surrounding Sam's environment are missing. Which maybe minimal. So since I own this game and played it on both systems, my argument here is the pics are really misleading. For example, the one colorful bright underwater shot I see here for the 360 is how the actual PS3 version looks, not dark as it is portrayed.

[chrisin3]

93 - It sure isn't Ubisoft's fault... well...maybe not, but they could have done better....

That article you posted is from december, but i get your point; however, Go ahead and fish out the Xbox 360's titles at launch and compare them to the playstation 3s at launch (even though the games aren't the same). I can assure you that the 360 games look, from what i remember, worse. The playstation 3 is just beginning to come into it's own. We got developers writing articles saying the PS3 is hard to port to and code on. They are saying it's easier on the 360. You have all read the articles i am sure. And yes, i know it's sony's fault for having poor development tools, and difficult architecture. THen again, this has nothing to do with PS3's limitations. Even though i know this article is not about the ps3's hardware limitation, it seemed people were making it about that. It has everything to do with current circumstances. This does not change the fact that splinter cell looks better on the XBOX 360, but it does offer legitimate reasons why. In my humble opinion, i think these ports will get much better in time. I think the edge tools will surely help. It seems many people think it will. SOme might call that an excuse, but do you really think they are going to hurt??? No. Anyway, i do blame ubisoft partly. If PS3 games are out now that look as good as the XBOXs splinter cell (resistance, motorstorm), i think ubisoft could have tried harder and used their talents to make splinter cell on par with 360. It seems time will tell...though i can admit it's inherently sony's fault for lack of developing ease.

[BIGBAER]

Seriously, the 'LAZY' excuses need to stop; they are foolish and naive.

Do those who cling to this harebrained theory actually believe that game developers are full of energy and ambition when developing 360 titles but suddenly fall off due to exhaustion and laziness when developing for the PS3?

Ludicrous I tell you, ludicrous!

[Raist]

Do you really think a creation and a port are comparable ?

How can you tell they weren't lazy with the original version too ? Maybe they didn't put a max effort on it, who knows.

They're not fully coding the game again when another version is being made. They just port it. And if they don't optimize it, that's what happens. When devs put time and effort into a port, you get Oblivion. Simple.

[Killer Cop]

What do I see... Xbox 360 fanboy + own user at PS3Forums + PS3/Xbox 360 comparison + "IGN Insider article" + redicoulus made PS3 and Xbox 360 logo's + nonexistent PS3 logo. Equal to...

Bullshit.

Come on, it doesn't take very much to see that this is a hoax. Look at his PS3Forums account, it stinks far away of Xbox fanboy. I could have done this way better, with my graphical artist hands. Well, first, 50% of those pictures DOES NOT HAVE A IGN LOGO. Second, the PS3 logo is not in PS2 style, but with spiderman font style. Third, one of the PS3 PICTURES IS HALF TRANSPARANT, and the others are not.

Ugh, I JUST CAN'T USE THIS WEBSITE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS! Geez, you guys jump on everything you see and believe it, god... I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!

Okay, if you are too much fanboy to think for yourself I will proof that this is a hoax. Oh look at this PS3 SC:DA screen:

http://image.com.com/gamesp...

Now, compare it to the last comparison picture in his post. Have you noticed that the "Xbox 360" comparison half look absolutely the same quality as this PS3 screen (Hint, look at edges on the body and the flag on the right arm)? If not, you are now officially a real fanboy.

Not even the Xbox 360 version of this game look any near as bad as the "PS3" half in the last comparison picture.

If this should compare to any platform it should be Wii or a low-budget PC. Come on Aquanox, you can do this better.

[Aquanox]

The Reason why the Xbox 360 and PS3 Logos don't appear in all screenshots is because they fade in and fade out during the video.

The Link to the original article is this:

http://insider.ign.com/arti...

the Article itself can be seen by anyone but the video can only be downloaded by IGN Insiders.

Next time, do some search before sending me a PM showing off your marvelous trolling.

[Dragonopolis]

I believe there is enough evidence to pretty much prove that the PS3 is every much as capable as the xbox 360. It will only be Ubisofts fault if it decides to release junk for one system and greatness for another. After all, Ubisoft better know its competition and from what I see there are plenty of games coming for PS3 that look to squash anything we have for the xbox 360. PS3 fans will just dump Ubisoft in favor of other developers willing to take the time to show some love for the system. I just don't believe that Ubisoft is that stupid. After all, Assassin creed looks to be pretty good graphically as well as similar in appearance on both systems so why not Splinter Cell.

I've been to several game review/preview sites that had pictures for PS3 Splinter Cell and nothing were as bad as those Pictures.

All it takes is googling to find out that this...................

article is got the stench of Fanboyism.

[chrisin3]

I didn't really notice before, but those pictures don't seem legit. None of the PS3 pictures have official IGN logos, and the ones with the PS3 logo are incorrect. You're right, i have never seen PS3 written in PS2 style text and colors. I guess i should pay more attention to details.

[Raist]

Dunno why the supposedly PS3 screens look nowhere close to this

http://media.ps3.ign.com/me...

That's weird, huh ? :)

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Another one LOL SSSNAP!

[jules]

did chaostheory look better than doulble agent...xbox vs 360...i know these two are mae by different teams...d.a. just dont impress me as much as ct did...i guess...

[sandip787]

every comment pro 360 recieves like 5 agrees, and anything pro ps3 recieves 5 disagrees?
anyway, ok it looks better on 360. by quite a margin. ok, thats it. nothing more. as with a lot of multi plats coming out. at the moment, i would say that 360 is the better console to go for, for games etc. ps3 will be better in 7-12 months. and thats it, it needs no further talk. let us all be happy for the games. at the end of the day, everybody says that graphics isnt everything. its the gameplay. and the gameplay on these 2 is exactly the same. its just the graphics that are lacking on the ps3. thats it, end of story.

[RAM MAGNUMS]

Keep playing that overpriced system that does nothing and vomits butt ugly games. lol. What a waste of money.lol.lol.lol. oh man it gets better every week. I cant take it no more my stomach hurts. splinter cell is my favorite game and the ps3 messed it up! lol. get a damn 360 already! lol. Oh... lol. denial. lol. JUDO CHOP! lol. THe XBOX 360 just stone cold stunned the karate kid ps3! lol !

[skylar2000]

This screenshots here is a comparison of the ps2 version of splinter cell and the xbox 360 version. hahah!
