Left 4 Dead 2: PC vs. Xbox 360 screenshot comparison

Cynamite compares the graphics between Xbox 360 and PC versions of Left 4 Dead 2. Use the "Original-Version" button in the gallery directly below the screens to get a bigger versions of the shots. The shots were done using the german cut version of the game, hence the gray blood in the 360 shots.

Another sloppy comparison made by some german website with tons of splash screens...

kaveti66165271d ago

Just accept that the PC version is better. Who's it gonna hurt? Come on. Whenever ports end up like crap on the PS3, they blame the developer. You can just call it for what it is, a graphically shoddy port.

Fishy Fingers5270d ago (Edited 5270d ago )

Did you expect a console vs PC comparison to favour the console? Any comparison of Left 4 Dead 2 (or any multiplat) will show the PC is "better", get a grip, no need to insult the source because they dont provide the answer you so desperately hope to see.

The images are actually taken from PC Games: http://translate.googleuser... http://www.pcgames.de/aid,6...

CernaML5270d ago

Those must be some crappy splash screes since the actual game looks better on my computer.

raztad5270d ago (Edited 5270d ago )

To tell the truth multiplats on a powerful enough PC are beginning to look like a generation away from consoles. I was blown away by the difference between FEAR 2 running on PC (so sharp, so high res textures) against its counterparts on PS3/xbox.

It made me want to build a good gaming PC, just to enjoy multiplats and my PS3 for exclusives. The downside is that PC specs are always changing and it's pretty expensive to keep pace.

LONEWOLF2315270d ago

no doubt the PC version is the superior version BUT no one is gonna deny that the 360 version is holding its own!

Chubear5270d ago

I'm looking at them and yeah the PC version is better in general but not anything significant that I can see. The 360 version holds up very well to the PC version in this particular comparison.

lowcarb5270d ago

360 looks great but the PC is definitely the winner here.

Arnon5270d ago

I'm with Raztad at the moment. I've recently become a PC gamer, and I have some games on both my 360 and my PC, and PC's overall performance and quality is like a step above the current consoles. It really is something to experience.

2Spock5270d ago

Sweet looks almost exactly the same.....

SilvertipShark5271d ago

I definitely prefer the PC version! Looks better IMHO!

table5270d ago

not only does it look better but it controls and plays better on PC as with every valve game ever made. Is also cheaper to buy and free to play online. Wierd that people would buy this on 360 when you think about it.

StanLee5270d ago

It's plays just as easliy on the XBox 360 as it does on the PC and with 19 of 66 friends having the game, I'm never short of friends to enjoy the experience with. That's my reason for getting the console version of the game.

Arnon5270d ago

I agree. I've played both on both platforms, and the PC version easily outperforms the 360 version in every way. However... I bought the 360 version simply because it has split-screen online/offline gameplay, and I have friends that come over just about every weekend.

Gary Glitter5271d ago

Wow look how dull and gray the 360 version looks lmao

Oh go on say its teh contrast waaa waaaa it looks like crap no worries ill be downloading this on pc anyway the clearly superior and non grey version.

Noob5271d ago (Edited 5271d ago )

360 is capable of better graphics then that, the engine is old, and it doesn't take much to max it out, so why does it look so bad on 360?

ramon_v5271d ago

not to whine... but on a forum like these, they are just a recipe for flame bait.

i hope PC vs console ones become a trend, because the above statement not only applies but is augmented by a hearty dose of pointlessness.

a capable PC will ALWAYS win as settings can be cranked up beyond what a console can do.

i'm a staunch console gamer at heart, but recognise this as fact. it has been this way for ages, and will likely never change.

While there’s likely already a list behind closed doors, one can still speculate and offer logical suggestions for titles new and old that should find their way into the PlayStation and Switch libraries.

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit40d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead40d ago

That’s up to Microsoft they want return on there investment. From buying up those publishers. That’s what there in business for. And they made a mistake putting day one exclusive on game pass. So now Microsoft wants to profit any way they can.its called buisness . Just like Sony putting games on pc a year are two after ps5 launch.
So if they can make money off PlayStation and Nintendo. They will do that. And I bet soon real soon they will release some aaa exclusives .and I bet one day it will be same day release

TheEroica40d ago

Sony gamers begging for Xbox games.... Who would've thunk it?

BISHOP-BRASIL40d ago

Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...

S2Killinit40d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5

StormSnooper39d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica38d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer40d ago

Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela

S2Killinit40d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer40d ago

Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass

S2Killinit40d ago

Quality and MS are not things you bring up in same sentence.

shinoff218340d ago (Edited 40d ago )

Alot of indies skip xbox to. It goes round and round. Personally I think your off base on that but no need to have the argument.

Friendlygamer40d ago

Between katana zero, valheim, Battletech, el passo... I don't feel off base. maybe ps got a million of light novel games that will never release on Xbox but like I've said, I'm talking about niche games highlights, the 10%.

  Heck, it's probably thanks to Microsoft that the s.t.a.l.k.e.r games came to console ps included, meanwhile Sony backwards compatibility continues to be extremely anemic.

And I'm sure most ps5 users are happy to ignore these games and just play wathever new 3rd person action game is trending but it's cool that Microsoft gives some love to smaller audiences and software preservation

shinoff218339d ago

Again your off base just to be snide. All it's showing though is your ignorance.

One light novels wtf is that even. Ps has plenty of pretty damn good indies.

Speaking of indies and ms being responsible. You know F.I.S.T. of course you do alot of you guys just support gamepass. Well here's a history of Sony being responsible for helping indies. Look up the China project from Sony.

Lastly lol your ignorance showing again. Sony has plenty of games. Personally third person is better then first anyway but that's besides the point. Sony gets so many games that xbox doesn't get because yall don't support the games. Jrpgs being a great example. I personally am not into every Sony first party game. Alot of us aren't. On the other side you don't get to eat often so you gobble up everything. Me personally God of War not my cup, etc. For me I'm into jrpgs and ms just can't touch Sony on those. Again because the Xbox base doesn't support it. Devs dont wanna waste their time or money. Hit me up when falcom develops a game over there.

Speaking of third person narrative games. Aren't yall drooling over hellblade 2. The first one was Sony exclusive at one point. Another not my cup game. Showing we don't have to fall in line and agree we love everything Sony puts out. The facts are they sell though unlike elsewhere(not nintendo)

StormSnooper39d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal40d ago

They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.

Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.

TwoPicklesGood40d ago

I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.

shinoff218339d ago

While indont agree with the games. I agree with the point. Your not wrong.

DarXyde40d ago

Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.

Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.

Valve Made Left 4 Dead 2 Because The First Game Was A Broken Mess

Left 4 Dead lead Chet Faliszek describes the original Left 4 Dead game as "such a broken thing that nobody wanted to touch it."

Number1TailzFan152d ago

And then couldn't be arsed to make a third game.

If they can add a lot more stuff to a 2nd game in just 1 year why didn't they make a third game a few years later with tons of stuff extra? Because that shows they could've.

I know Source 2 was kind of broken and was a reason they cancelled L4D3 but it seems wasteful to just toss it away.

Don't know what Valve were thinking.. it's like nobody wanted to fix the issues to get going. They certainly aren't the Valve of 2004 that released fun games with pretty cutting edge graphics.

cthulhucultist150d ago

Valve is allergic to number 3 it seems. It would be easier for them to release a Left 4 Dead 2.5 enhanced version instead of releasing a game with "3" slapped on its title.

rakentaja149d ago

They stopped making games a long time ago. Steam brings in so much money that it's really not worth the effort. Nowadays, people only look for faults in games, and spend more time whining on Twitter/X than playing the game anyway. Valve says a big fat no-no.

anast150d ago

Value is the Blockbuster of video games. They have no need to invest in deving a game, when they can make handfuls of cash renting them.

-Foxtrot152d ago

What are they talking about? Seemed pretty alright to me at launch it just wasn't supported the way Valve promised us

They should have just worked on a revamp / massive update to the game but they didn't they jumped straight to a sequel with brand new characters despite having some sort, if small, story about where the original survivors were heading.

I didn't care for the direction they took the sequel, the original games tone and atmosphere was missing in the second game and is still unmatched. Daytime levels, more whackiness, melee weapons where you could attack a Tank with a frying pan...just wasn't the same to be honest and the new survivors just didn't hold up the originals.

Here's my speculation. I think they did a sequel because they didn't want to update a game co-developed by Turtle Rock, they wanted the franchise to be known as a Valve game only and knew if they updated the first one Turtle Rocks name would still linger on it.

shaenoide150d ago

I want broken games like L4D all day long...

GhostScholar150d ago

Well the first game was by far the best
