Lens of Truth: Prototype Comparison (720p)

Lens of Truth writes, "Finally, Lens of Truth got a chance to sit down with the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Prototype. Although Prototype has been out for over 2 weeks now, we had planed to compare Prototype the week of its launch, but on the day of this comparison an unexpected game slimed our entire staff and consequently postponed this comparison. So now that this long overdue Head2Head is finally here, which version of Prototype will evade the horde of infected and shape-shift into the superior version."

Just like the 360 can't handle MGS4.

Elven65411d ago

Who said Prototype does or doesn't use the SPU?

Greywulf5411d ago

Uncharted says it? ... MLb09.. says it?

You dont think that Radical optimized their game to run on SPU's do u?

Elven65411d ago

Err, so just because a game doesn't look as good as another title that means it's not using the SPU? That's not very good logic to be going by,

Greywulf5411d ago (Edited 5411d ago )

to the 360...and 360 code isn't made with spu's in mind. Because they are different architectures. So when you optimize for SPU engines, you don't have to rely on the brute force of the GPU. The PS3 can handle both types of engines, but one is bottlenecked without SPU support. Which is why most SpU titles run technical/graphical/physical circles around multiplatform & 360 exclusive titles.

No, I wasn't saying "JUST BECAUSE X DOESN'T LOOK AS GOOD AS Y IT BLAH BLAH" With these specific technical issues you bet? Yes, thats exactly what it means. If you did it, you'd get a better result, but a costlier development cycle. when a game is designed to not use spu's the title will suffer. Its like driving a v8 with only 2 cylinders active, which will run the 360 code fine, but it wont be remarkably better than the code optimized to run equally on all consoles. Plain & simple.

Its already proven that the PS3 runs games that are visually/technically/resolutio nally(new word) superior to all console games. But not when you tie one arm behind its back.

Fishy Fingers5411d ago (Edited 5411d ago )

I imagine every game uses the SPUs in one way or another, whether they're fully optimized or not is a different matter. Same goes for the 3-core CPU in the 360. Like most multiplats they probably aim for an even keel.

morganfell5411d ago

Exactly Fishy. Every PS3 game uses at least one SPU.

tuglu_pati5411d ago (Edited 5411d ago )

"PS3 can't handle multiplatform titles that don't use the SPU.."

That has to be the most retarded thing I've ever heard and to make it worst you have 3 agrees, unbelievable.

On topic, who cares the games is not that good anyway.

@ below

And you now all this because???? Are you developer?

Greywulf5411d ago (Edited 5411d ago )

wouldn't run without the basic1. I mean when you utilize the SPU to take loads off the GPU, you wont run into issues. Stream loading/animation blending/sound channels are all manged this way in a beautiful orchestra when combined, Which multiplatform developers aren't really after. Which is why multiplatforms that don't really utilize the SPU for what it is end up forcing the 360 code into 2% of its potential in the first place. And shockingly it runs on par at a retarded capacity.

La Chance5411d ago (Edited 5411d ago )

"Just like the 360 can't handle MGS4"

Yeah thats why Kojima productions said MGS Rising will look better than MGS4.
http://www.examiner.com/exa...

Moreover Splinter Cell Conviction already looks better : http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/...

And theres NOTHING absolutely NOTHING you can say that can convince anyone that YOU know better than Kojima productions. If by some miracle you do know better than Kojima Production about MGS Rising, then come out here and tell us.

Raf1k15411d ago

wow man, you really dug a hole for yourself

snaz275411d ago

i clicked the link you previded to have a butch... i was expecting something phenominal by the way you said its better than mgs4... but i have to say really you need to check your eyes cos that was so so so very average and underwhelming... mgs4 looks 10 times better, and ive only played the demo cos i dont really like konami, due to there odd decision of making gamers use there online id instead of the psn id... but i have to say the graphics in mgs4 did blow me away... really how you can say splinter cell is better is beyond me really. and the lock on targeting of splinter cell is wack dont you think? lock on targeting really takes the skill out of a game i feel.

Jaces5411d ago (Edited 5411d ago )

I'm to busy killing to notice, haha. Love the game by the way.

@La Chance

MGS4 is outdated, what you need to be comparing to is U2, GoW3, Heavy Rain, KZ2, etc...

YogiBear5411d ago

...but you are still not playing as either Solid Snake or Big Boss so who cares?

y0haN5411d ago

LaChance why do you have to troll? If you said things more objectively maybe you'd have more bubbles.

Splinter Cell Conviction does look really nice though, love that franchise. Will be downloading it on PC :)

evrfighter5411d ago

"so who cares? "

Graphics whores...which interestingly enough make up about 95% of ps3 fanboys.

ptotoy5411d ago

remember the days when xbox fans were laughing their ass off at infamous' graphics -- saying no AA and a lot of jaggies.. but prototype was no better

now, this similar open-world sandbox game looked fugly next to infamous because it was limited by the crapbox.. admit xbox fans: if prototype was a ps3 exclusive, it would have looked better and on par with infamous.

in the end if you want the best looking sandbox game this gen, buy a ps3 and get infamous.. just stating the facts, folks

randomwiz5410d ago

I thought they WEREN'T using the MGS4 engine for rising

Greywulf5410d ago (Edited 5410d ago )

Lachance:

Mark Reign & Epic said Gears2 was going to be "bigger better and more badass" as well. As we stand right now, the 360 can't run MGS4. Nor does any game on the 360 currently touch MGS4, and hasn't since the launch of the 360. Which has been 3 years. We will just have to take words over reality.

The fact that the only title you can use in a graphical argument hasn't been released yet its completely hilarious, because it proves that well.. the 360 has no graphical chops that can hang with the PS3's old games, let alone the new ones.

Giant LOL @ splinter cell vs mgs4. You're high if you think the two are graphically comparable, well not high.. but you have no choice. MSG4 can't run on the 360. Period.

---

@ SDF rage.

Multiplatforms are gimped on the PS3... stop pretending otherwise. They aren't the best versions of the games from a techncial standpoint, the 360 has the best versions of multiplatform games. Simply because the PS3 is retarded to run games that max out the 360. Yet pull of MGS4/Kz2/Uncharted2 with ease when not restricted.

Great video LoT. Too bad prototype should have stayed just that, a prototype!

evildeli5411d ago

This game is boring, and exactly like inFamous. I'd like to see a round two with these head to head though. Take the winner of Prototype and the winner of inFamous and see which one looks better.

Nelson M5411d ago

PlayStation 3 (70.0%, 14 Votes)
Xbox 360 (20.0%, 4 Votes)
Tie (10.0%, 2 Votes)

And it looks like the PS3 version Does Too

user39158005411d ago (Edited 5411d ago )

Lets see what they said about prototype and the winner is +

Graphics = Both versions had the same texture resolutions throughout.

Performance = The Xbox 360 wins in terms of performance due to minimal screen tearing and consistent frame rate. Also the Xbox 360 had a further draw distance with its shadows.

L O A D I N G = Considering the PlayStation version did have a mandatory one minute install weighing in at 619 mb, the load times were a tad slower by a second or two. But not in every case.

C O N T R O L = Tie. Both games had the identical button layout and features

Both games look and played almost identical to one another and declaring a victor could not be justified. Minus the minor shadow and screen tearing issues from PS3, Radical Entertainment has done an excellent job porting Prototype between platforms.

The author its an idiot, has the right motives of what to look for, but cant get to the right conclusion.

WTF just look at all the difference you wrote and you will see that the 360 won again and stop been biased towards the BBQ Grill. Some people can write, but cant comprehend what they wrote. Geez where are they getting this writers from 4th grade english comprehension level?

Eiffel5411d ago (Edited 5411d ago )

LOL! he's going by votes, stupid fuk.

Sir Ken_Kutaragi5411d ago

'KILLZONE 2' WINS!!! ;-P (AGAIN!!!) ;)

Six Activision Games I’d Like to See Revived Under Microsoft

As the world reels from the shockwaves of the seismic news that Microsoft is acquiring the proverbial swamp of the video-game landscape, Activision Blizzard King, it only seems natural that our minds should now shift towards what the fallout will be for presumably years if not decades to come.

MadLad822d ago

Another Prototype would be awesome.

As for Singularity, I don't necessarily need a sequel, I just want to see Raven be able to flex their creative muscle again; not just be relegated to assisting with CoD. A lot of the old guard is still with the company.

That's part of what I'm hoping to see come from this acquisition. Revive teams like Vicarious Visions and Ravem to actually allow them to work on their own new projects again.

Crows90822d ago

As great as that would be the deal wont finalize until end of fiscal year 2023. Until after that date MS wont really have a say as to where resources will be spent. So we wont realistically see anything until perhaps 2026 or later.

LWOGaming821d ago

I think that’s a point that so many people are missing. Things will not change this year or next year at all. Maybe some changes might be apparent in 2024 but 2025/2026 is a good estimate of when things will really start happening. And I don’t think we will see as big a set of changes as some are suggesting.

TallDarknWavy822d ago

Those teams having not worked on anything, the employees find jobs at other companies, they don't just remain unemployed till someone at the publisher decides to revive the team, they need to eat lol

That said, this list of games makes me unexcited for anything outside of CoD that Activision has to offer. All games are in stale genres, like Guitar Hero, Simpsons Hit and Run, these are long surpassed genres that are going to be difficult to revive.

gamer7804822d ago

I want to see new IPs. Not a bunch of forced renovations of old franchises.

Gamer75822d ago

Why not a combination of both

gamer7804822d ago

@gamer75 if it is a combination it has to have my seal of approval. Such as a new Warcraft game or a new Warcraft mmo, or an action game based off the night elves orcs and humans if it’s a new IP. I’ll let you know after I talk with Microsoft

King_Noctis822d ago

Man I’ve been waiting for Protoype since the last one. Protoype could seriously be MS’ answer to Infamous (freaking loved that game as well, hope Sony make a new one soon).

porkChop822d ago

I'd love to see Raven take another crack at Heretic and Hexen.

MadLad821d ago

That's one I see being tossed around a lot to bring back, even if not from Raven themselves.

Put so many hours into those games over the years.

I'd like to see Activision get the Transformers license again and continue the War and Fall of Cybertron games. the movie games were crap and the game that combined both movie and Fall and War of Cybertron sucked a new Prototype would also be good as well.

jaymacx821d ago

You deserve a 1000 likes haha 😂. It’s a shame High Moon didn’t get to continue making Transformers. If they got a decent budget i think most of us TF fans would be excited.

wolf581821d ago (Edited 821d ago )

Ms bought Activision and everybody dancing for what? For cod? Ms want to atleast earn some money Back from those 70 billion dollars.... The only thing they count on is more gamepass subscribers via Activision cod, diablo and over watch 2 1st Day free at gamepass. If they decide to make them exclusive to xbox they Will lose profit from ps4 and 5 sales. As For a New ip or an existing ip like over watch 3,diablo 5 or anything else like a New transformers Dont you think that developers need at least 3 years to Do something decent?
Anyway my opinion is that ms want to make videogaming Just a subscription a la netflix and that ps5 will beat xboxsx in sales like ps4 beat xbox and xbox one x..... All the money ms spending It Will defentily make more gamepass subscribers as for games we all must wait at least 3 more years... And thats why ps5 will get ahead in sales they have more AAA in the pipeline already plus lets see their answer for gamepass... P. S i Dont support subscriptions from neither company and i didnt buy switch plus for n64. If they give me the option to buy n64 games then yes i Will buy them but i am not paying for a rental.
