Burnout PS3/Xbox360 comparison

Gamersyde has made a short comparison of the newly released demo. It is not very long so it is really hard to see any difference, if there is any, you decide.

[eagle21]

not much difference...lighting may be better on PS3...we need a better video..

[dhammalama]

It has a 720p version.

[nirwanda]

with the PS3 version is the lead platform it's dragging down all the other versions their is not one bumped mapped texture in the whole game to save on ram and even though there is only one layer of texture on the objects they are really low rez and poor reminds me of most wanted but with a smooth frame rate and good crash physics.

[ddldave]

the ps3 has better lighting, color usage, sharper edges, and crisper image. once again, the ps3 has defeated 360 in a multi-plat game, why isn't this a surprise?

[mistertwoturbo]

nirwanda

i could have recalled cliffy b saying "gears of war cant be done on the ps3"

but yet mark rein says "unreal tournament 3 raises the bar beyond gears of war"

and UT3 on PS3 is gettings 9s left and right for great graphics and awesome UT gameplay.

so what is that i hear? which system is dragging which system down? FACT: games made on the PS3 are better on the PS3.

[nirwanda]

mark rein is trying to sell the game he makes a living producing everybody knows the UT3 engine run's better on the 360 than PS3 just take a look at all the other dev's making games for both platform's and Mr Reins excuse was that the PSN was more open to mods which has been proven untrue as you can't just mod on the PC and send to the PS3 clearly he didn't fancy competing with halo 3 and cluttered 360 christmas line up.

If the 360 version of UT is not better than the PS3 version graphically I'll be stunned as the engine is very texture heavy which benefits greatly from more v-ram

as for burnout it's still got poor textures and no bump mapping and looks like the poor 360 launch title most wanted

[WonderboyIII]

I am starting to get sick of fanboys. Yes I do beleive they are an esential part of the gaming scene since their existence only relates to basic human characteristic of favoring and grouping, but when you add fanboyism to stubborness and immaturity, the results are disgusting.

1) I do not understand how a crap video like this can show differences. And if there are differences, are they worthy of being even talked about?
2) I own a 360, but if I had some money I will buy the wii, and the ps3 without any hesitation. I owned a ps2 and a Dreamcast, a saturn and a ps1, a snes and a genesis, a nes and a master system. What the hell is wrong with todays generation? Just freaken shut the **** up and play for **** sake.
3)Stop posting these stupid videos and start to look for more genuine gaming news and topics.

*goes off to turn on his Dreamcast and play some vertical shooters while xbox 360 lays resting for some gaming after*

Bring on the games! whatever the **** they are!

[Wii60_FTW]

Eveyone knows Mark is trying to sell the ever-loving SH1T out of UT3, and eveyone knows Gears could NOT be done on PS3. Repeat: Gears can NOT be done on PS3. Gears has more for next-gen shaders (to a n00b, you'd call them "textures" or something) than UT3 does. And because of PS3's ram limitations, Cliffy was correct when he said Gears can not be done on PS3. Just look at how all UE3 games are always delayed on PS3 hardware versus 360 hardware. UE3 was designed for 360. And Gears looks much better than UT3, regardless of how hard Mark tries to trick you into buying his game. Period. And on top of that, Gears 2 will look even better than the original, thus further crushing PS3 into nothing. Stupid fanboy.

[ruibing]

Unless there will be a distinct difference, I've stopped comparing cross platformers through video captured by some unknown methods and settings.

[power of Green]

The demo i played on my 360 looks like the PS3 version in this video.

I hate the graphics in this game they're not that great. Hate the color and the reflection and light effects they're systematic effects not realtime, looks like cheap trick.

[SL1M DADDY]

But I DL'd both versions last night and have to say that the PS3 version is a smidge better in terms of lighting and color. That was viewd on the same set at the same time. I have a split screen mode on my HDTV that allows me to view two different sources at one time. While it was not much to write home about, the PS3 version is better looking.

[power of Green]

If the 360 version ends up looking like this in the video the PS3 version in real life must be almost washed out.
Man and I thought the 360 version in real life was faded and washed out being three shades of powdered green with blue.

[HarryEtTubMan]

DUUH Ignorant fanboy.

like EVERY DEVELOPER HAS STATED...

PS3 lead SKU = MUCH better port. You cant even tell a difference hardly. This is becoming more of the norm with criterion, Midway, Epic, and soon it will be the norm. Why make a crappy version of a PS3 game when 360 games come out as basically flawless ports. Its better this way for all gamers. This will be the norm by 2009 or 2010...but the 360 will be dead anyways by then with the 360 having 6-7 more years left of life.

[sonarus]

i gotta say i do agree with you visually the game is underwhelming. I was all siked for burnout what was a must buy for me dosent even seem like a maybe anymore. There are two many games coming out nxt yr competing for my wallet and burnout jst moved to the bottom of the list. Really hard to see any significant differences if we could have hd comparisons it would be alot easier

[millerlite]

sorry

[Kr155]

this game is awsome!! who cares if the grafix arent upto GT standards. Seriously take a car and run it into something at top speed and tell me this game doesn't have awsome graphics lol. it looks like a real accident. even slows it down for you so you can savor every ripple of the impact.

[mordillo92]

finally the ps3 gets better graphics than 360 in a game, we deserve it after that stupid orange box ps3 port...

[power of Green]

You're smoking dope if you really think the 360 version looks like that. lol

Its just a bad quality video even more so with the 360 footage. lol PS3 fanboys really think the 360 car looks like that.

[FirstknighT]

Bad video. The 360 demo doesn't look like that. Sorry sony boys.

[MaximusPrime]

PS3 is "clearly" a winner.

Thanks for a fab game, criterion!

I knew flame wars on this game would happen. xbots are clearly blind or dont even own PS3. (yes i seen it on xbox 360. My verdict - PS3)

[SRuN4]

To those saying the X360 version looks like the PS3 version.. how do I know that if I dont have a X360? For all I know it's just sour grapes because the X360 version looks worse.

Now I'll wait for the infamous response of being a Sony fanboy..

[socsca]

You are a Sony fanboy. There, now you dont have to wait more.

[Douchebaggery]

Talk about sh!tty video quality.

I've downloaded both version and it might be because I'm playing on a SDTv but they look the same to me.

[techie]

Both look the same. Framerate slightly better on ps3 so I've heard.

[THC CELL]

x box looks gaggy as hell
Ea burnout team have just proved that games can be done better on the ps3

[MaximusPrime]

Criterion is responsible for making the game better on PS3 not EA. EA is a publisher.

Say thank you to Criterion.

Read the recent interview with Criterion, they said that PS3 is the main console they focused on. No doubt PS3 version looks better than xb360

[Zhuk]

Xbox 360 version is better, unsurprising really

[TANOD]

how delusional could a fanboy be

PS3 version looks miless better and yu can see that

[EaziG]

Zhuk - you Donut,
there's no difference! apart from a very slightly more clean picture on the PS3.
more noticable in objetcs in the distance, like the mountains.

[bababrooks]

EaziG , why pick on zhuks comment when number 9 comes before 14? , could it be that you are actually a fanboy?

[Madbrain]

Open your eyes and close your ass... no more c0ck for you little gay..

[bababrooks]

youngsters are overtaking this site! true posts do not count,(wish my dad and mom got me a ps3!).

[ThaGeNeCySt]

this video sucked

[aiphanes]

This game is awesome on the PS3...very fast rumble, graphics are smooth...and it is just a demo of an old build it will get even better before release in over a month from now...both versions...so xbots take a chill pill and wait till release...but we all know the PS3 version will be the best one..

[powerslide]

doomed

Ps3 is much better. And i'm not a fanboy......lol

[ElementX]

360 isn't doomed. Even if MS didn't sell any more 360s, companies would still develop games for it because people buy games. Look at the COD4 numbers.

[felidae]

xbox 360 version not so shiny and too dark.

ps3 version = perfect.

ps3 wins hands down

[Lord2008]

D!ck

[MRMagoo123]

Where did u get that picture from? it must be very rare, i mean an xbox without red rings ive never seen one with green rings, did u perhaps put stickers on the red ones to pretend its an actual working xbox

[navig8or]

PS3 wins on in game effects, i think... XBOX very close, closer than COD4, fanboys...you decide...

[gnothe1]

MY honest opinion!!! I have both demos, the games graphically look 100% identical, the only thing that i noticed an you really had to pay attention is that the 360 version colors were more VIBRANT an it looks like it has AA turned on an the PS3 version dont. edges are just a little sharper on the 360 version. but theres not enough difference to call either one BETTER!! now you guys can take it for what it is call me an xbot or what ever, I HAVE both so i can see for MYSELF an this is what I SEE.an my PS3 is hooked up through HDMI running in 1080p, not sure what this game runs in, I'll check it later.

[Zhuk]

Xbox 360 version is better, thank you for agreeing with me

[AbyssGravelord]

Finally some sane people in here with all of the sony trolls in here I never thought someone would see the truth!

[dantesparda]

You fanboys are funny, this is a straight up 360 fanboy get together here between you three. Especially that gnome1 or whatever the fvck his name is. He's been a big time 360 fanboy forver, and we are supposed to take his word as fact!? HA! you 3 are funny. Try again fannies

[mariusmal]

i own both consoles and i downloaded the demo for both. i used the sam monitor for both. both are exactly the same. minor diferences. AA is at the same level... framerate also.

[Lord Cheese]

if thats the case i'll get the 360 version. Tend to find that when a multiplatform game is damn near identical on both platforms (which this appears to be, minor graphical details aside) i get the 360 version, only cos most of my mates are on live, and i'm something of an achievement nut :O)

[turbogeek]

the 360 version looks washed out and brown like my crap

[navig8or]

My fellow Australian, I thank you for your insightful comments, however, I feel your one-sidedness may lead you away from the top games still to come, I agree that at this time, XBOX360 is the system tohave, I have one, I love it, but, PS3 is now picking up steam, it is going to become an unstoppable juggernaught, buy both, if you can afford it, this is going to be fun :)

[IQUITN4G]

What's the point if they look exactly the freaking same - terrible quality

[riksweeney]

To be honest it looks like the PS3 version has been recorded at higher quality than the 360 version. They both look more or less the same at this resolution so the only way to have a proper look it to record a 720p version.

If the game runs at 720p that is...

[prowiew]

Ive played the demo on both consoles and I can guaranty one thing: the graphics sucks on both consoles.

[navig8or]

Granted, it's not the leap forward most of us where hoping for, but it's fun, it runs almost perfectly and it seems like it will be heaps of fun...that's what we want from games, right?

[Wozzer]

But to be honest who knows if the two sides have been switched? Just decide for yourself which version to get and don't listen to clowns like power of Green, FirstknighT etc who feel they have to defend the 360 like rabid fanboys.

[felidae]

now i also played them both and it's 100% clear that the ps3 version looks much better.

if you say something different you're a 360 fanboy or you haven't played both versions..

i'm happy to own a ps3 ;-)

[bigtoe1986]

Its a shame because this game could have been so much better if it was not held back due to the XBOX 360 using DVDs. The PS3 with its Bluray disks could easily hold way more content.

[Bladestar]

ohh give me a break! this game is not using the full DVD9! What make you think they needed more space? You are a tool!

[radzy]

you cant compare a 256mb graphics(ps3) card with a 512mb graphics(xbox 360) card.
even with the fanboyish statements and all the effort from criterion trying to forcefully make the ps3 version better, 360 still comes up on top. better luck next time criterion . by the way your game sucks and is very boooring.

[titntin]

Dreadful video thats completly useless for comparing graphical qulity. If the game looked like the video, you wouldn't buy it no matter what platform.
I run both my 360 and PS3 versions through the latest 1080P Sony X series TV. The differences are not huge, but the PS3 does have a slight edge. The differnece is minimal enough that if you have anything other than the latest TV tech, you won't really notice it.

Both versions look great. download the demo and see for yourself, don't judge from this video.

[2 cents]

I got the demo for both ps3 and 360, and i was trying to compare them by switching the TV from HDMI to component, as i don`t have two HDTVs. It`s hard to make a comparison like that but from what i could see, the 360 version looks more bright and colorfull but that makes it look cartoony, whille the ps3 version has more real looking lighting and effects. I hate this game, so i`m not going to buy it for neither consoles. I`ll wait for GT5P instead.

[tanakasan]

PS3 is better.

[Bladestar]

funny... we are talking about lighting... I wonder if this can be nulled by changing the TV set brightness... lol.

Anyways... does the PS3 version game invites? Does it have achivements? if not the XBox 360 version wins hands down... achivements to be is more important than brightness (my tv allows me to change that)... also the xbox 360 comes with rumble by default and I don't have to import and pay $60-$100 a new controller to experience it.

yeahh.. yeah.. you don't care about achivements... but many of us do.. and the xbox 360 version has it and the PS3 does not... and I rather to have the one that does than the one that does not. Since when more is bad?

[Irving]

"Achievements are more important"

lol are you serious? I guess you started playing videogames on x360 then. Btw last I heard you can't even download a demo for one week unless you pay 50$ a year to M$. Good job, keep paying. And yes, PS3 version does have invites.

[ThaGeNeCySt]

it works the same as the 360 Demo (and will possibly work the same when the retail hits)

hit RIGHT on the D-Pad and it will bring up online options to invite friends, set up specific kinds of races and etc

[tethered]

They are right.
The PS3 does have invites.
You can access your friends list.
No it doesn't have achievements but the full game might when HOME is up and running.

I haven't downloaded the 360 version yet but I plan on doing it tonight.

[navig8or]

The only thing i can see is that ps3 has better shadows on x360 they seem jittery, better on ps3 but barely worth mentioning. This is the first game which is truly the same no matter which platform you play it on Kudos to Criterion.

[BlackCountryBob]

One obviously appears much brighter and cleaner but TBH both look aces and looking at them like that I can honestly say that I wouldn't see much reason to pi## and moan about either version.

Well done Criterion for being one of the first developers to make a multi platform game this gen that doesn't have a horribly crippled PS3 version.

2 consoles => 1 great virtually identical game

[bigtoe1986]

@ bladestar 30.1

All i was trying to say is that with any multi platform release this is always going to be an issue with games getting bigger and times moving on, dvd should not of even been considered on a NEXT GEN Console.
The fact that your saying what the game does or dosent have on the PS3 version is a joke considering the XBOX 360 has to have a million add ons just to compete with the PS3.

[ygxbrayzie]

360=darker ps3=brighter

[Xemnas]

If you cant see that that the ps3 side look better somthing is wrong with you/Fanboy.

[Nik]

obviously so is the PS3 version.

All this proves is that PS3 being lead platform is a win-win for both consoles.

[bym051d]

PS3 looks better. The 360 version will display at 1080i on my TV, which one should I get?

[tanakasan]

Are 360 versions 600p again?

[anh_duong]

hardly any difference and not enough to have a mass debate over

[bigtoe1986]

Im not sure what res this is going to run at but i would say if you havent got 1080p then run this game in 720p NOT 1080i.
Because this is a fast game 720p has faster refresh rates than 1080i. You will prob get a slightly better picture but nothing major.

[bym051d]

I have a CRT RPTV. My choices are 1080i or 480p.

[NaAsAr]

they both look pretty much identical. the only things i have really noticed were 1, the 360 sounds are louder at the same volume settings and 2, the ps3 version seems to have more varied crash scenes. like the trading paint crash scenes. i have seen like 2 different ones on 360 and 4 diffrent ones on ps3. i tried to hit on coming the same way on both. also for the record, ps3 rumbles too ^_^

at above comment.
actually i havent seen and refresh problems at 1080i on my plasma. and it looks better at that rez on my screen than 720p. i hope in the full version of the ps3 one they add the ability to have 1080i output. the demo doesnt :(

[ultraviolentz]

wow, who gives a sh1t

[scotthea311]

Did you guys see that one pixel in the upper left. It's sooo much better looking on the ps3 than the 360. but then there is a lamp post on the street corner that looks more shiny on the 360 than on the ps3. For jeebus sakes. Get over it already. Shouldn't we all be more concerned with the controls and play of the game. Which, by the way, are pretty sweet. The car you get is awesome and the controls are pretty damn tight. Definitely can't wait to get this game.

[harpua]

better hardware = better graphics

ps3 > 360

[achira]

you dont see it clearly in the videos, because they are low quaulity, but if you compare them side by side on a nice tv, you will see that the ps3 version looks clearly better.

[ygxbrayzie]

oh great just because i say 360 is darker and ps3 is brighter make me a fanboy damn im just judging by the video can't i express my own opinion? or i have to agree to everything fanboy say so i won't be a fanboy lol and i don't pick side xbox,wii,ps they are JUST console lol being a fanboy doesnt affect me those console are there just to play nuting to brag about lol

[ygxbrayzie]

and i didn't say the ps3 look worst or the xbox look worst on that video
i don't pick system i just play them on no matter which system is on
bad or not bad is still the same game

[likeaboss302]

I played the 360 version first (PSN takes forever to download) then the PS3 afterwards and they felt the same to me. I couldn't see a difference between the two that standed out to me. They both have the same color reproduction from what I can tell. Both systems are hooked up to a Sony 46XBR4 via HDMI.

[BloodySinner]

I don't know what the fanboys are talking about, but the PS3 version has slightly washed out colors. I even took a screenshot of the video. See for yourselves.

Note: I downloaded the 720p version and played the video using Windows Media Center.

http://img127.imageshack.us...

EDIT: I think the sky looks way better on the PS3 version, but that's it.

[The-Only-Truth]

It maybe seems to be "clearer" on the PS3 cause of its notorious "Blue Filter" method (Xbox 360 = Red Filter).

Who wins ? Meh, both versions of the game look the same for me.

But then again, it is Burnout Paradise, not that important. I could care less in this case.

[Rice]

I think this is the first multi platform game that looks better on the ps3 than the xbox 360

[sonyfanonly]

yes it is the first ps3 game that is better than the 360 and xbots are getting their pannies in a wod deal with criterion has praised the ps3 hardware so theres no doubt the ps3 version will be better in the final build

[Matpan]

All I can see is different hue and contrast, with that in mind you could adjust any of both versions to match the other one with just a TV adjustment...

[falconm80]

Never mind

[mrguru]

forget the graphics, i want to know how criterion got whole overworld load less. and is the disc constantly spinning on the xbox version if there is no HDD? since it is basically load less, or they load more of the world in the memory, and the loading occurs when races activate to change the over world landscape.

[Darkiewonder]

Have to wait to download the 360 version :3
Was I going to buy the game? no. But the demo was fun nonetheless.

[FullyLoaded420]

download speed: 360 was faster..

both are the same exact game....except for online.
I was playing very smoothly on the 360 version but ALOT of LAG on the PS3. Cars were skipping across on the PS3 version and running smoothly on the 360 version. So much for "FREE"...LOL!!

LIVE: FullyLoaded420
PSN: Sick_Wid_It_420

[Darkiewonder]

Are you sure? I mean. are you sure?

[Ri0tSquad]

On the PS3 version so it must be your internet connection. I was playing in the living room through wi-fi with NO lag at all. I repeat NO lag at all with the PS3 version on wi-fi.

If you want me to and someone doesn't believe me I will be more then happy to post a video to show you there is NO lag with the PS3 version at all. You can post your PSN or XBL thing or what ever but that doesn't prove anything and you can make a PSN ID through the internet WITHOUT a PS3. Nice try though.
Oh and with those 2 bubbles you have no credibility at all.

@ Darkiewonder

Me and you both know this clown is lying. He'll do anything to justify his 50 dollar xbox live purchase and it must hurt to see that something free is equivalent to something that cost him 50 bucks. Online wise. I'm not trying to degrade anyones elses purchase, just expose this liar for who he is.

[sheng long]

I honestly got no lag when playing online last night. you might want to try again.

The graphical diffences are so small i don't understand how most of you are getting all torn up about it. Grow up!

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

360 "clearly" takes it again.

[u got owned]

I notice an extra leaf in one of the trees on the Xbox 360 version. And in the crash you can see a little rock on the floor on the PS3 version.

I would say the extra leaf is taking more memory so hands down the 360 version is superior.

[Pain]

PS3>Yanky box 2

More to come too.

[ISA_Scum]

Game looked great on my PS3 last night playing the demo, and in this comparison it's easier to see that it's the cleaner, sharper version that does present some better lighting than the 360's version of the game.

Nice to see EA finally get a game right on PS3 by having it act as the lead console. Maybe I can start having faith in them again?.....maybe....

[MRMagoo123]

Why is anyone bringing up psn lag i play COD4 every night every sigle night and i havent had any probs with the network im ranked 2000 and somthin with my kills out of the 400 odd thousand on the network so lag is not a factor just cos its free doesnt make it bad there was an old saying the best things in life are free plus i dont have to put up with the prepubesent teens loadmouthing on xbl

[Bizmal]

looks at the textures, To bad most of you rely on other people videos and opinions instead of actully knowing what your talking about. I own both, Every thing I buy is on my PC first ps3 second. The very best graphics that I have seen on console are all the PS3. Played Drake? GT? R&C?

[Rattles]

but as this video shows and even more bloodysinners screen shot they both look good look at the road there diffrent but good in there own right

[AbyssGravelord]

This is just like any other comparison, the sony fanboys will pick the PS3 version and the 360 fanboys will pick the 360 version, isn't anyone else getting sick of this? I have played the demo on my 360 and it's really fun but the quality in the video is horrible the game looks great in 720p and just get the game for whatever system you have, have a safe and happy holidays and goodnight!

[UltramanJ]

Didn't get around to playing the 360 demo. I was too busy playing 360 games to get around to booting it up.

[TwissT]

Wow the ps3 and 360 versions are so similar but I have to say the ps3 does look a tiny bit better, but most important thing is the gameplay so I hope they work on it more.

[espoac]

Both look the same and if you ask me the graphics are great. And I can't believe there are still people (like nirwanda) who can't accept that the PS3 is at least every bit as powerful as the 360. Maybe they should take a gander at Uncharted?

[Nathan Hale]

blah blah blah ps3 is better...360 is better.....who the **** cares...i cant believe how a little bit of a difference in graphics can cause people to be such idiots towards each other...jus play the games and enjoy them....10 years from now your gonna look back an
think WHy in the hell did i waste my time going on the net and debate about what version has better lighting and which version is sharper around the edges....your gonna feel like an idiot for caring so much...is it really the end of the world
?????

[Rice]

Its hard to make a comparison with this video quality.

[FunnyBone]

I will say after downloading both Version 360/ps3
And playing them both...This is the first multiplat game i would buy for ps3 rather than 360...360 has a better feel steering wise but the game looks a little more polished on the ps3 version...

It's still only a demo so thing could change but as of now i like the 360 version..

PS-this is the great thing about owning both consoles.....YOU HAVE A CHOICE..
