Devil May Cry 4 Xbox 360 vs. Ps3 Screenshot Comparison

Though Devil May Cry 4 was initially scheduled for Playstation 3 only, CAPCOM shows their mastered skills with Microsoft's Hardware in this port.

This comparison shows head to head captures from both Demos released today.

[davez82]

360 ver looks better, oh well another ps3 game i wont be buying, good job capcom.

[TheSadTruth]

davez82, I'm willing to guess that you were born in 1982 (maybe) and that you are 29 years old. You are way too old to behaving like a child, no matter how sad the PS3 fans are on this site, you shouldn't be just like them just because they get to you.. act your age man. Be the better person and act dignified.

1.3 - @TheSadTruth
I don't disagree with the comment about childishness, just the comment about being able to be born in 1982 and 29 in 2008 at the same time.

*Typo my bad, but you get my point. 26 is basically the same as 29 in terms of maturity and if you are over 12 you shouldn't be behaving like that.

[zambrota]

It is from AQUANOX in the psu forum

AQUANOX is banned from posting in the ps3 section in PSU.He only posts in the x360 section

He posted the pictures of x360 versions in VGA/COMPONENT and claimed them to be ps3s.

OTHERS check here :-
http://www.ps3forums.com/sh...

look at aquanox sig on the left

ALSO aquanox doesnt have a ps3

Please be advised that FULL RANGE RGB/SUPER WHITE on PS3 could be turned on ONLY with HDMI 1.3

However you cannot record HDMI 1.3 streams if you dont have PS3 SDK

a normal user like AQUANOX wont have the PS3 SDK (costs 25000$) to record HDMI streams

@jenzo

the Gamersyde video wasnt done by the people at that site.
It was sent to them by DOT50CAL --a random user

PROOF :- "Dot50cal sent us this nice comparison video of both demos of Devil May Cry 4 on PS3 and 360. "

so it wasnt done by people at Gamersyde . they actually posted the video sent to them . Ofcourse the ps3 version had RGB PARTIAL/SUPERWHITE turned off since a random user cannot record streams on HDMI 1.3 and SUPER WHITE/RGB FULL are turned on ONLY WHEN YOU USE HDMI

:)

so the video comparison/screenshots are FAKE

[mindedone]

I don't disagree with the comment about childishness, just the comment about being able to be born in 1982 and 29 in 2008 at the same time.

[TheSadTruth]

Now if you want to make your own judgement about which looks better

http://img156.imageshack.us...

The right side is the 360, the left is the ps3. I honestly thought they both looked the same until I resized both. One obviously looks better but I won't point it out, you can judge for yourself since I'd prefer to keep my 2nd bubble for a few more weeks. I don't enjoy this kind of game anyways personally and don't even own a HDTV. '

And for those that are delusional out there.. look at the bottom of the sword.. they are both resized to the same proportions also (you can do it yourself if you want)

edit:

@Zambrota
Like I said I'm not one to make biased judgments and I'm not saying the PS3 version sucks or anything nor do I know anything about the pics I'm just posting about what is in front of me

If you are right then obviously it's a poor comparison to make

[zambrota]

the pics were posted by AQUANOX

an XBOT in the PSU forum

He is banned from posting in the ps3 section

Others see the GAMERTAG of AQUANOX here

http://www.ps3forums.com/me...

http://www.ps3forums.com/sh...

check AQUANOX gamer tag too

He doesnt own a ps3. He posted the pictures of x360 versions in VGA/COMPONENT and clailed them to be ps3s

oh please, get off your pedestal, I'm a consumer and I decide how I spend my money, it has nothing to do with maturity. If i see im getting the bad end of the stick then im not forking over my money. And a lot of ps3 owners feel the same, look at games like rainbow six, it woulda sold way more if it had been at least an equal port, capcom will lose big on the ps3 side, word gets around fast.

[Whoooop]

Born on 1982 = 29 years old???

Think you needed to emphasize a little bit more on math...

too late I guess

[masterg]

Once again we sit here and look at picture from an unknown source.
And once again people eat it up like it's fact.

Let's see a comparison by a site that can be trusted.

This is what loot-ninja.com said:
"The controls felt a little tighter on the PS3 version simply because that is what the game was designed to be on and that’s what we used to from previous DMC games. The Xbox 360 is virtually identical to its PS3 counterpart, but it does have rumble. You can’t go wrong with either version."

PS3 owners say:
"It doenst look like this on my screen.
It sadly looks like a person trying to manipulate the results to fit his own twisted needs."

[radzy]

xbox 360 = 512 mb video card ram

ps3 = 256 mb video card ram

all because cliffy b.
go cliffy b.

[Snukadaman]

Dont you think he got banned from ps3forums.com because he was showing pics that show the xbox 360 as being better?? yeaa that wouldnt happen on a xbox fanboy site if the situation was reversed right...anyways...these are some terrible pics too have comparisons with...the only pic i think was different was the dragon ones and they were not that different.

[dktxx2]

@1.9
The Xbox has more ram but the ps3 has faster clock speeds. plus it can access the xdr any time.

[eLiNeS]

N4G = Fony PofS3 fan site!

either that or lot of people need to get there eyes checked.

[ParaDise_LosT]

Doesn't he link it to Gamersyde?

[InMyOpinion]

Try blaming gamersyde instead, that's where he got the pics from.

http://www.gamersyde.com/ne...

[vickers500]

Thats it, I quit the comments section on n4g. I cant handle these immature little b!tchboys arguing over which version looks better, just for the sake of being right and somehow feeling superior. The comments get worse as I read them, and its finally made me realize that there are some things you need to ignore, and that logic and reasoning is pointless to try and use on them.

There is no longer any room for discussion about games anymore, it's all just a great big f*cking contest on who has the best game console. Grow the hell up, seriously, talk about the actual game, and compare it if you must, but be civilized about it and stop throwing around these stupid "hahaha, just shows that X is always better than Y, and Y is not as good as X, and your stupid for thinking that you fanboi drone" comments.

Not like any of you will listen, as a comment that tries to balance everything out is always seen as "fanboyism". Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought games were created to be fun, not to be argued and bicker over. Guess I thought wrong...

/rant

[Biphter]

You're posting your own fanthread in a forum for PS3 users with screenshots from the biggest Xbox fanboy site, that were taken by a NOBODY random guy as a submission to N4G news? Anyone who does that is TRYING to prove something desperately.

This is complete propaganda at its fullest effect.

I can't believe people are saying "thats it, i'm buying the 360 version for sure now" based on this comparison, its ludecrous! if you say that, you never intended to buy the PS3 version, and most likely don't own a PS3. Even if they WERE true, its not that much different. I know for sure there fake because looking at my own TV with my own eyes, the PS3 version doesn't look like that. Its like all the credible sites are saying, there is no difference graphically, it all comes down to controller choice, and for me its DualShock 3 all the way.

[BrianC6234]

I don't see how anyone can say the 360 version looks better. First, the screen shots are mostly horrible choices to show anything. Most of the PS3 shots are nothing but dark areas so you can't compare them. But just look at the last shot. The sword is a lot smoother on the PS3 side. The 360 side seems to have a lot of jaggedness to the sword.

[GIJeff]

"360 has 512 video ram"
its a fact the the 360 has 512mb of total memory, so if all of it is for video, where is its system ram? if you had more than $hit for brains youd know that the 360 has 512mb of shared GDDR3 for the video AND system. The ps3 has 256 dedicated GDDR3 for video and 256 dedicated XDR ram @ 3.2 ghz. and as someone has pointed out, its possible to access all of the ram from anywhere on the system. You = fail.

[toughNAME]

I'm still surprised MS managed to get bad boy away from Sony, but I would naturally assume it would look better on the PS3

----> Here comes the...outright denial

[Mr_Kuwabara]

These are Japanese programmers were talking about. Not EA/Ubisoft.

[Panthers]

It looks almost identical. The only difference is when it shows the swords in the middle. The 360 has more jaggies. that is the only diff i see.

[gamesblow]

Played the demo... It was, as I suspected, just like the others. The graphics on the ps3 version didn't interest me in the least. I didn't say WOW, one time. I didn't enjoy the demo at all. It was like I stepped back to 2001 again.

I cannot comment on the xbox 360 version, but ... Ps3 fans, wait for this one to drop in price. It's not even worth a download.

[Thursday]

I have to say that I don't agree one bit. The demo is well worth the download, and the graphics/environments are great in this game. Floor textures etc look amazing, and I would recommend this demo to everyone, just for the imagery.

Got it for the PS3, haven't downloaded it on the Xbox 360 yet, since I prefer the PS3 controller for these kinds of games.

[Mario18]

Damn, I thought the Ps3 one would look better!

[Panthers]

It does. I dont know what versiuon you guys are looking at.

[SmokeyMcBear]

yup.. 360 screenshots are better.. looks like a lot of jaggies on the ps3 side, and the ground looks better on 360. It just looks kinda blurry.. then again.. always wonder what is doing the screen capture.. just play the demo see for yourself. I wonder how the controls are on the 360 though.. ive heard some things.

[pwnsause]

what jaggies, my you please point them out to me?

[Martini]

Look on the edge of sword and hair - better AA on 360 (thanks to free AA developers get form the built in function on 360).

[Panthers]

I have to say that you guys are wrong. I see jaggies on the 360 side. The sword has a lot more on the bottom pic. Other than that I see 0 difference.

[Fototherapist]

Ok, now I'm hearing that both versions have jaggies. I'm also hearing a lot of confusion about where the photos originated from. Therefore, I'm going to download the PS3 version first. If I see any problems with it I will check out the 360 version. If there are no problems with the PS3 version I will likely buy that version for the simple fact that DMC was born on the Playstation. I can wait for the dual shock 3 to come out for the rumble, which is possibly the only real reason to buy the 360 version. Make sense?

[LightningPS3]

the 360 version looks a lot better.

Poor PS3. No matter how people want to look at it, they just got it handed to them this gen.

They overlooked the gaming aspect of the console. It's not just Devil May Cry 4, it's every multi platform game.

The results don't lie, the 360 can deliver the better result. It's XBOX 360 the one that should cost more.

That's just the way it is.

[The_Engineer]

omg, you should be in comedy.

sorry turdbreath, I can actually afford both consoles and the PS3 version on HDMI with the proper settings takes a HUGEEE dump on the flat dull and sluggish gameplay of the 360 version.

it is absolutely amazing the lengths MS has gone to this generation to try to increase their market share. When are they gonna realize the world hates microsoft and their crap products.

[jack who]

rofl 360 am win

flame on bu teh cell? lazy dev

[San anto]

u illiterate bag of she3t go die

[vloeistof]

360 looks better

does not mean it plays better

[Martini]

Even though lots of peeps will be in denial the 360 has better textures again (hint unified memory vs split). Now WATCH 'EM SQUIRM and say they don't care about the game .. :)

[pwnsause]

dude, they're the same. lmao

[CeruleanSky]

Thanks Martini, always great to get the input from the short bus crowd.

[Martini]

Obviously

[Bonsai1214]

what they should have done was have 2 of each shot, one with 360 on the right, and one with it on the left, and vice versa with ps3.

though it does seem that the ps3 version has more jaggies.

[jackdoe]

That is because 360 AA is done without any hit on the graphics which is the reason why some multiplat games have better AA on the 360. Other than the few more jaggies, everything looks the same. The textures, the gameplay, the same crappy VA.

[Bonsai1214]

no worries, i know how the "Free" aa works on 360. but its only effective at 720p though. anything higher and it doesn't make a difference.

[destroyah]

That's just stupid. Compare the retail version, idiots.

[Savior X]

The game's out in a few weeks, it will not change when it shipps. I have to say i downloaded both demos and u can hardly tell any differences between the two. And on top of that i have my 360 running via component and my ps3 via hdmi. And no this game will not be running at a native resolution of 1080p

[CeruleanSky]

LOL!

Xbots falling all over themselves to post their sad little "teh 360 looks better" comments. So utterly pathetic.

60 bucks for the second worst DMC game with last gen graphics? LOL!

[texism]

Last gen? Did you say last gen? Man you just set a new benchmark for stupidity

[LightningPS3]

I hope someone lets them hear about this. What more excuses are they gonna make?

I'm sure it will be the same for Grand Theft Auto 4 also. The PS3 version is just an afterthought port.

I'm one less person who's buying a PS3.

[San anto]

uve been added to weak ass nerd list, ur head will fall soon.
i would smash ur face into the floor and then relinquish bodily fluids onto ur unconcious corpse.

[sak500]

@ psycho San

Son you need counseling. These are just games no need to go all rambo over it. Now go and get rid of your shotgun and go to school.

[Vanqu1sh]

PS3 has the CELL - 360 shouldn't be able to keep up, I dont understand

[Martini]

That's because you fell into the hype trap - it's happen before (PS2) they claimed it's more poverfull then computers back then... lol..
Live and learn

[CeruleanSky]

LOL!

This thread is absolute GOLD!

'Keep up'!!!

Capcom had to gimp this game to fit in the smaller than last gen 7 gig 360 DVD discs and wimpy graphics hardware.

So yes, the PS3 is gimped down to 360 level graphics too.

[toughNAME]

Microsoft paid off those jaggies

[solidt12]

The Cell has nothing to do with it. This is a Multiplatform game so you have to develop it to the lowest denominator

[Bombomb]

is starting to wear off, don't worry this is normal after the first year of promises and under deliverence.

[The_Engineer]

the 360 can NEVER keep up with the cell, proof??

Resistance 2 and Uncharted wave hi to the xbots on the short bus.

[jackdoe]

Lol. The news about plain previews about DMC4 don't get a lot of hits, but the comparison image posts do. Shows you that a lot of 360 and PS3 fans aren't interested in the game at all, just interested in which version looks better. Looks like Capcom won't be making a lot of money with this game...

[mullet]

..The 360 version doesn't even feel like 60 fps. Major frame rate drops. Instead of making a game that runs as smooth as the PS3 version, they chose to focus on graphics more, ruining the DMC experience. Meh.

We should compare the retail versions IN ACTION.

[BLUR111]

yea it felt wierd playing a action adventure game on 360 and not a fps, but still i love my 360 and the demo is good but i must say do not campare fucn demos.. compare shots of real game not a file on the hardrive its stupid and not fair and has nothin to do which system is more powerful

[solidt12]

The Cell has nothing to do with it. This is a Multiplatform game so you have to develop it to the lowest denominator

[Martini]

The PS3 ??

[San anto]

oh wat a joy it will be killing u silly american nerd. smash smash smash right in the skull. thats it u will moan. please daddy noo0oo?!?!?! GROUND N POUND MOFO

[sloth4urluv]

Wait kinda like how the PS2 was the lowest of the last gen systems?
Maybe hating on the internet wasnt as big back then, but I seemed to remember people enjoying games because they were fun to play, not arguing over whose console is gimping everyone.

[poopface1]

didnt burnout 3 look way better on xbox than it did on ps2? hell yes. did tony hawk 2 look the same on dreamcast as it did on ps1? I dont think so. If the Ps3 was more powerfull they could easily make the game look better than the 360 version.

[sak500]

@ psycho San

Son you need counseling. These are just games no need to go all rambo over it. Now go and get rid of your shotgun and go to school.

[athlon770]

The last 4 multiplats have shown the edge in graphics to the PS3, yet the PS3 haters out there have to make up information and blatantly lie through your teeth so you feel better for staying with the 360?

Your as bad as POG saying the PS3 is still selling less than the 360 when world wide sales show the opposite...since the end of last year.

I played the PS3 version this morning and found it quite enjoyable even though I have never played any of the original 3. I am downloading the 360 version while I am here at work and will look how it plays tonight. As for the game itself, I probably will not be a first purchase for me, but if there is a coupon for a reduced price or something, I can see picking it up for the PS3.

[gamesblow]

This isn't a big shock, people. 3rd party games prove nothing on cell architettura. We all know this. Did anyone expect

A ) Ps3's version to look vastly superior? It's Capcom, people.

B ) Ps'3s version to even be on par? IT's Capcom, people.

or

C ) Either version to be a huge step forward? It's capcom, people.

You all are acting like this is news or a huge life altering event. It's not. It's Ps3 proving once again you need to code for it and it alone to yield strong results.

Way it goes.

[Vanqu1sh]

CELL is far more advanced than 360, I dont understand why PS3 looks worse

[wil4hire]

The Cell is the reason Uncharted can Stream load. and Mass Effect cant.

[The_Engineer]

wil4hire, nice going, that comeback stomp to vanquish's xbot balls made me cringe.....silly wabbit 360 is for kids.

[Bombomb]

but the PS3 version have better controls, which was expected.

I'll wait for the reviews...we'll come back to these early threads.

[Frances-the-Mute]

does it matter, the difference isnt that significant, the ps3 handles better imo since i received my experience on the ps2

[Pandaren00]

.......

[Marceles]

honestly, the 360 version looks smoother I'll give them that. The PS3 version has a certain "staircase" effect without AA...and please PS3 fanboys, you can ignore it but you can't deny how that looks

http://www.xboxperu.com/for...

[Statix]

The 360 version seems to have sharper textures, and better anti-aliasing.

EDIT: I don't own a 360, just a PS3.

[Boink]

what you guys can tell from a screenshot.

[Marceles]

http://www.xboxperu.com/for...

Look at his coat collar, his hair, and his sword on the side by sides, and you'll see what we see

[Bombomb]

and the Detail on the 360 version. Detailed Zipper and all. I mean look at it...out of all the games I have claimed to look better on the 360, it has been in the little details up close.

.. but whatever, if gamers choose to deny it, then thats fine too. While this game originated on the PS the dual shock seems fitting. I'm surprises PS3 fanboys still interested after the Capcom scrutiny and petitions.

[Biphter]

The two pictures are completely off, but the text at the bottom is perfectly alligned. Don't you find that odd? Its soo easy nowadays to change or make a picture to your liking, I only EVER trust my own eyes with something infront of me in real life.

On my HDTV with Full RGB and Super White, DMC4 Demo looks crisp and vibrant as Fcuk... The GFX aren't anywhere near the best i've seen on PS3 though. Its not like WOW! I hit that with Uncharted, so now anything any lesser looks ok, DMC4 looks nice enough. But there is no way it looks as blurry and washed out as that doctored screenshot.

[green]

just played the demo.Graphics good but not better than Gear of war or Bioshock.Gameplay wise its okay but i have issues with the camera.
I have a big feeling that Ninja Gaiden 2 will be way better than this game.

[San anto]

na in all areas dmc4 ownz ng

[vloeistof]

gta iv comparesment will cause the biggest fan boy war

[jack who]

teh jaggies made my baby cry

[nevelo07]

all you f@gs in here tryin to talk bad about ps3's graphics go play uncharted and holla at me pimpin

[tab553]

I have both consoles and tried comparing both demos just for the sheer hell of it. I think I secretly wanted the ps3 to win as I shelled out more cash for it than the 360. Anyway after lots of switching between the two I have decided the 360 version has sharper textures and seems more high res while the ps3 looks blurry in comparison. It's not much just a 5% decrease in quality. It sort of confirms what people have said about the 360s superior graphics card. Although I do prefer the ps3 controller, it just feels a lot easier to control than with the other pad. I think I'll go for the 360 version though.

[Ri0tSquad]

The only way you would see a difference when playing is if you were 2 inches from your HDTV.

[Marceles]

Yeah the game is pretty fast anyway so you won't be able to notice until everything just came to a total halt or you're looking really close at the FMVs. It reminds me of the PS3 backwards compatible problem where all the PS2 games had the "staircase" problem and then Sony released the firmware update with smoothing and scaling. But anyways, it'll be a cool game no doubt

[nevelo07]

both versions could not tell a difference but the controls on the ps3 felt better, but the game is still not better that the ninja gaiden series though, cant wait to play ninja gaiden 2

[davez82]

360 version has better textures, its not just better anisotropic filtering, but totally better textures, capcom has dissapointed and they are going to lose much money.

[gamesR4fun]

unless there are major differences in load times frame rate or gameplay I dont see anyone loosing out....

[rofldings]

PS3 has no loading screens. 60fps + DMC1-3 controls.

[Jrome]

Damn...I must be looking at a screen shot while I'm playing the game...what a great way to determine graphics o.O.

end sarcasm.

*EDIT*

Yes disagree with me...because I'm sure you guys play video games looking at a screen shot...ROFL.

[Regret]

Same. BTW, game series are nothing special. GoWar pwns it.

[joeynox]

Take this with a grain of salt . Its screen shots that are blown up. On your tvs it will looks identicle.

go xbox

[xionpunk]

Yeah textures look better on 360. Still gonna get it though.

[Vanqu1sh]

Microsoft paid Capcom to make the PS3 version look worse probably, because there is no way the CELL is weaker than 360, I dont understand this today

[BLUR111]

thats retarded , cell or no cell it is what it is and its ony a cinamatic of the game not gameplay the cell wont show its power till they know how to use its power

[jack who]

bu bu but teh controls on the ps3 felt better...watevr happend to it will look better on the pos3?

[InYourMom]

looks better. Am not surprised.

However, they are so close I don't think it's going to make a bit of difference and certainly shouldn't be a critisism of the PS3 hardware.

[cputeq]

As an owner of both consoles, I would like to chime in with some things to consider:

1) Static screenshots are nice, as we can scrutinize every single detail for hours on end. In motion, though, I think one will be hard-pressed to find significant differences in graphics. Performance in framerates could also vary widely or remain about the same between the consoles.

2) The Xbox 360's textures look slightly more crisp; however, the bump maps look a bit *too* defined...as in, they're too sharp when showing lit surfaces. A matter of opinion. Another screenshot I saw had the near-field texture on the 360 looking *too* blocky, but their normal map on the enemy was better.

3) Assuming DMC4 forces a 5GB install on PS3 owners, one must wonder if the actual gameplay experience (you know, the thing that actually matters) will be better or worse on Xbox? Will the Xbox cache the game like Oblivion, or stream constantly from DVD like Gears of War? Will you have a menu option to install? Gameplay differences may be moot points or significant. For me, they matter greatly if the Xbox's DVD drive is constantly spinning -- That thing is *loud*, and since I don't turn my TV up very much, it's important for me to consider this.

4) The gameplay difference may boil down to simply which controller you prefer using!

------------------------

Some other things:

A) The Xbox 360 does *not* have "free AA". This is absolutely false and I could name some great examples without even trying.

B) Having a cool CPU name like "The Cell" doesn't automatically mean it's faster than a tri-core CPU.

C) Having an Xbox game perform better than "The Cell" doesn't automatically mean its CPU is faster -- As in the PS2, the PS3 looks like a pain to program for. It's certainly not in Sony's best interest (short term) to create such a complex monster, but in the long run, assuming the PS3 gains a solid user base, it may pay off.
Time will tell. Until then, realize you play GAMES on consoles; you don't play hardware.

D) People tend to throw around technical terms without having any clue what they're talking about. Please stop this, as you're only making yourself look stupid.

E) Rehashing the same tired bullet points doesn't make your argument any more valid. "OMG enjoy this Xbox users because Sony has BLURAY and you'll have to switch discs 5 times!!11!" is simply fanboyness and has very little on the impact of the gameplay.

Let's assume, for one second, the Xbox *did* have to switch discs -- Do you seriously think this is a major issue? Unless the developers are complete morons and didn't sequentially lay out the game, I'd say "no". You'll have to do the switch once. Big deal.

[Jrome]

I'm just here to say...when we're at an age when you can turn on your console from your controller...YES SWITCHING DISCS IS A PROBLEM ROFL.

If I each disc had 2-3 games on it...that would be a God send...a lot of people simply don't like switching discs $$ too much effort :).

[zambrota]

CELL has 8 cores if you are unaware

xenon has 3 cores which are watered down ofcourse. there is nothing like a tricore crap in xenon when it is 1/20 as CELL

PS3 vs x360

***************************** *********************

Here are the complete list of Benchmarks for Cell .
NOTE:- all these were released before the advent of OCTOPILER.

BUT according to these benchmarks a CELL is around 20x as powerful as any of the High end DUEL -CORE desktop processors including XEONS and OPTERONS

Cell beats 7800gt by 6:1 .This should give people an idea about why KZ2,LAIR and other ps3 titles look wayy better than anything available on any other platform. Cell's ability to carry out Graphical tasks are also consolidated with this benchmark

http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/...

RESULT :- in SP calculation (which is related to gaming ) a Cell is a minimum of 10x as powerful as the most powerful OPTERON available today. The margin shoots to 60x in some perf like TRE and STENCIL

***************************** *************************

This is IBM's take on CELL.

NOW lets head to GPU.

there has been common misconception all around that RSX is weaker than XENOS which is utter BS

Lets take down the benchmarks of the 2

***************************** *****************

PS3 can do 51 billion dot products per second

XENOS can do 33 billion dot products per second

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

NOTE :--although RSX is 7800gtx/7900gtx based ..Its architecture has been tweaked later by NIVIDIA

Proof:-

7800gtx has 24 pixel shaders .
RSX has 28 pixel shaders . 24 of them are active and 4 are partially disabled at the moment

XENOS on the other hand is R420 based.

Here is anandtech's take on XENOS

http://www.anandtech.com/vi...

The unified shader thing is a hoax and unlike the dedicated shaders of RSX xenos' unified pipelines are indeed very weak

RSX has a texel filrate of 13.2 g/s
XENOS has a texel filrate of 8g/s

RSX can do 136 shader ops per second
XENOS can do 96 shader ops per second

RSX has 32 dedicted pixel shaders and 8 vertex shaders
XENOS has 48 unified shaders

RSX has a clock freqency of 550 HZ
XENOS has a clock frequency of 500MHZ

RSX is DX 9 compatible but supports all future revisions of OPEN GL
XENOS supports DX 9 C+ and supports OPEN GL till 2.0 ONLY

RSX has a diameter of 258mm^2 and is a 90nm chip
7900gtx has a diamter of 196mm^2 and is also a 90nm chip
Xenos has a diameter of 160mm^2 for the mother die and 100mm^2 for the daughter die

http://forums.e-mpire.com/s...

PS3 has a total bandwidth of 22g/s + 28g/s ( video + system)
XENOS has a total bandwidth of 22g/s (unified).the edram bandwidth of 256g/s is irrelevant at resolutions above 720p.

even at lower resolutions it makes up for the lack of 360s total bandwidth . However this theory fails in games which reqires intrinsic data processing eg UT3 and DEAD RISING

***************************** ***********************

CONCLUSION:_ BY all means a CELL thx to EDGE and iRT is a minimum of 10x as powerful as the XENON. However the margin shoots up in some applications as revealed by the benchmarks.

The CELL excels in anything that requires heavy processing. A QUAD CORE to some extent can do those calculations at a much slower speed . However the XENON cant do any of the HEAVY INTRINSIC PROCESSING as in PROCEDUAL SYNTHESIS of PROFX (see above)

The RSX is also significantly more powerful than XENOS but not as efficient at the moment . BUT things would change just like the way it had after the inclusion of EDGE,iRT and RAPIDMIND SDK for PS3.

***************************** *************************

The RAPIDMIND SDK is just a tweaked version of SDK that is normally used with supercomputers.

@cputeq

you dont have to tell me anything cuz you know that XENON is wayyyyy less powerful than CELL. I posted IBM's own benchmarks that compare CELL with XENON.

http://members.forbes.com/g...

Oh dont worry about heat . CELL has shrunk too 65nm.

x360 doesnt have free AA at 1080p but it has free AA at 720p. the eDRAM in xbx makes up for the lack of xbox total system bandwidth 25.6g/s vs 22g/s+25.6 for ps3(main + video)

at a rez over 720p eDRAM becomes ineffective and hence x360 is left with no free AA.

real world performances --this is why XENON is even less powerful than an intel emt64 of 2004. The CELL is very efficient so real world performances would vary only a bit.

However CELL is built for heavy intrinsic computer applications so ofcourse expect it to excel in less intrinsic 32 bit gaming applications. CELL can raytrace if u are unaware

[Bonsai1214]

it does have "free" AA. 10mb of edram enjoys an incredibly fast bandwidth, which allows it to "alpha blend, framebuffer, and antialias."

by free, i mean it can do it without a performance hit.

edit: wow, i posted this and a wall of text showed up above me.. lol

[Xbox is the BEST]

this is what I call defend the Blu Ray player. PS#3 the leader in High Def movies sold

[The_Engineer]

just like having a name like "cputech" doesn't mean you know dik about game development. by the vagueness and ignorance in your post I can safely assume you know SQUAT about making games.

[jmorph9]

I am a programmer that has done multi-threaded programming. All your benchmarks are based upon the best case scenario for the cell. They involve highly recursive and distributable tasks. Unfortunately, not all tasks scale that well.

If the right game, lets say chess, is made the cell would rule. This is because it is easy to break the analysis down into pieces. I am not a game programmer, but I think a game like DMC4 is not broken down as easily. The cell does have great promise in simulations and such, but programmers are just beginning to adapt to such things.

If you are interested in such things:

performance scaling
􀂄 Power consumption
􀂄 Wire delays
􀂄 DRAM access latency
􀂄 Diminishing returns of more instruction-level parallelism

Because of the reasons above, the only way to increase performance now is parallelism, but we are just beginning down that path. Makes on wonder if the pure power is worth the difficulty at this point in time.

[BladedKnucklz]

360.....BUT NOT BY MUCH!!!!!! Lets hope Ninja Gaiden II does not get to the PS3 UNLESS they give us Final Fantasy!!!

[Bonsai1214]

a little off topic, but please don't mention ninja gaiden and final fantasy in the same sentence. they're completely different genres and in completely different classes..

[Megaton]

Comparing those two pictures, the 360 looks better.

Comparing those pictures to the demo running on my PS3 and standard def TV, it looks the same as the 360 pictures. The jags, smudges and blurs just weren't there when I played it myself, especially in the case of that fiery boss. Looked way better than the PS3 comparison photo shown.

[chanto23]

IMO there is zero differences unlike Turok (i have that comparison too in case somebody wants to see the veracity of my pics...
#1 Xbox 360

#2 PS3

Edit:
My PS3 is on HDMI and my Xbox on component cables...TV is Samsung LN-T4071F and both pics are with Game Mode turned on

[BLUR111]

\ anyway if so just see when they come out get both and see or rent one on the other system

[Panthers]

Wow i must be seeing something completely different than you guys.

[cmrbe]

for a professional comparison of the final game. For all we know the PS3 demo might be from an old build. Why should we trust this guys comparisons.

[chanto23]

Double post

[chanto23]

triple post

[ThaGeNeCySt]

the textures are sharper on the 360 version of Berial

[Jamegohanssj5]

That's one of the worst comparisons I have ever seen because it's not the exact same thing side by side.

[znu]

"is from AQUANOX in the psu forum

AQUANOX is banned from posting in the ps3 section .

He posted the pictures of x360 versions in VGA/COMPONENT and claimed them to be ps3s.

OTHERS check here :-
http://www.ps3forums.com/sh...

look at aquanox sig on the left

ALSO aquanox doesnt have a ps3"

btw, those comments about a collar....if ur not gonna show the collar on the ps3 version then shut up!

None the less, i found they looked the same, 360 version looked a bit beter but i want photo's from amore reliable source

[zambrota]

http://www.n4g.com/ViewComI...

ps3 version clearly has sharper textures

@aquanox

you dont even have a ps3 and we can all see your gamer tag on PSU

You posted the video at Gamersyde under the name of SO50CAL.

The video is actually x360 version in 2 settings

[Aquanox]

These were taken from a high Quality Video posted here:

http://www.gamersyde.com/ne...

I have taken those screenshots myself and the original video is there for proof.

Cool down your fanboy inside and check the information before claiming anything is fake.

Last but not least, I'm not banned anywhere in PSU forums or any website.

[BLUR111]

wow thats awesome u got this , well i think i say its 50/50 i saw that 360 some textures are better with more detail and the lighting but same on ps3 some things were looked better but mostly ps3 version has more real looking motion and animation anyway after seeing that i'd say its 50/50 of the demo... besides thou demos dont look like the disk being read on the console.

[hotshot127]

because that washed out crap looks nothing like what the ps3 version really looks like. this is a bullcrap comparison and ps3 owners should know that. weather 360 fanboys wanna drool over this or not, these screenshots are not legit. at least when you turn the RGM on FULL.

[zambrota]

ps3 version actually looks better(slightly better textures)

http://www.n4g.com/ViewComI...

@aquanox

you dont even have a ps3. everyone knows you in the ps3 forums. You are an XBOT and you want us to believe your fake pictures

[Aquanox]

Do you actually believe those low quality screens can overrun these direct feed captures?

[Iron Man 2]

The PS3 version plays better(controls)

[mintaro]

sixaxis doesnt determine whthere the controls are better, there have been numerous examples of developers using that technology, and completeley screwing it up, of course there is one title that comes to mind, but i wont mention it, because it's taken enough heat already.

Btw there is really no difference in the screenhots, the 360 is just a tad better, but not by enough to show such a signifcant difference

[BLUR111]

yeah im sure kermit anyone that knows how to use a xbox 360 controllor would disagree with that

[Spinitus]

i took 1 look at the guy's icons in that ps3 site and he clearly is an xbot. Fake

[cmrbe]

I just notice that the same person that made these comparisons is also the person that posted this story. For all we know this comparison is not legit.

[hotshot127]

but i can confirm that the ps3 version looks much better then that screenshot being shown.

the textures look alot sharper then that. ps3 oweners....................... SPEAK UP if you played the demo because if you have a hdtv and hdmi cables with the RGM turned on full, YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT

[TruthBTold]

The demo was nothing like the pictures being shown here

[Stagerman]

all im gonna say is i downloaded the demo on my ps3, and everything was crisp and sharp, while these pictures show them as blurry and jaggy... i didnt see any of this

[Aquanox]

Video Source:

http://www.gamersyde.com/ne...

These are real. Get over it.

[moparful99]

You know its funny to me how alot of ps3 haters out there say that graphics arent everything whenever we see ps3 games that look better, but then as soon as some shady pics appear on the internet (those horrible turok comparisons come to mind) those very same people show up and tout this as a win for the 360. In an age whenever all photography is digital and there a enumerous versions of photo editors floating aroung how are we to belive these photos.. What credibility do thes people posting have? I dont know you, I dont know what motives you might or might not have but all I know is that for all I know these pics are doctored.... I will wait until game informer or another well known and credible source provides a comparison. Thanks but no thanks....

[TruthBTold]

Cant comment on 360 but the PS3 looks nothing like this.

[ISA_Scum]

I agree with everyone pointing out how actual previews stating the difference between the two games is minimal to none get no hits, while as soon as we get some BS screesn comparison, everyone jumps all over it.

There is no freaking difference, come on. Get over yourselves and look at the screens. Textures are better? THe screens give the 360 side better opportunity to show texture, especially with the fire demon, don't be idiots. Jaggies? Where the hell are the jags? Seriously, I played the demo and LOVED the game. The gameplay is killer, visuals are good.

Can't someone on n4g just care about how a game plays rather than how it looks for a change? PS3 version is equal to 360. Enough BS, ok?

[znu]

Ya kno what, i dont care anymore,

Just enjoy the game, why does the comments have to become a fanboy war!

why can't we just agree that both versions rock

[NanoGeekTech]

by all to make the PS3 look like crap I really truly do not understand!!!!

Downloaded DMC4 from Japanese store when I came home from work..I do not know if up on the US side I really do not care because I already have it...

--DMC4 is a graphical masterpiece....please do not go by these bullsiht a$$ shots you see online...that says 360 is better than PS3 I have both systems.

--I did not download the 360 version because my Live account expired this month so i have to wait..I cannot comment on the 360 till later..

--I can comment on the PS3 version that I am currently playing......They are absolutely no jagged lines at all in all of the demo...DMC4 is a next gen experience similar to Uncharted...it is a very beautiful game....

--Please PS3 owners please do not listen to the dribble....I just do not understand the blatant FUD being spew like two monkeys in a Sh!t tossing contest!!!!!!!

--I believe the 360 version may look just as good....But the PS3 is the lead platform....So being that I am also a 360(KMJFNIGUY) owner I am grateful for the fact that PS3 allowed others to experience something very close to an unprecedented gaming experience very similar to that of Uncharted......

--side note my 360 Gold account just expired this month....so I have been down graded to Silver so because of that I will have to wait to DL DMC4....but in the time being I will DL for free on my PS3 and sign into either my Japanese, US, or European account for free and play with my buddies for free and download any game in the WORLD for free.....

[hotshot127]

look washed out like that fake screenshot.

it seems GAMETRAILERS arent the only people doing that.

[Staircase]

Honestly, I don't care. These extremely minimal differences don't change which console i will buy it for. Ill be buying it on PS3 so I can have the whole series playable on one console. Plus, all my 360 time has been devoted to Mass Effect lately.

[znu]

no offence...but u sound like a total ps3 fan

im just saying u sound like it, either way u like ur ps3 which is ur personnel opinion regardlessly

have fun, its good not to be a fanboy!
you can think logically ;)

[JohnRico]

This comparison stuff should be banned from here. The comments section is always the same damn outcome no matter what game.

[Vanqu1sh]

I agree with this

We should not be allowing anti-PS3 and anti Sony news, bad news like this really hurts PS3 sales and we cant let things get any worse for Sony

[znu]

I agree and disagree

they can keep the comparison stuff but still this places has "the same damn outcome no matter what game"

[NanoGeekTech]

Straws...............I do not understand!!!!!please do not be fooled by jealousy, the game looks GREAT on the PS3 when I play it on my Samsung 36" CRT HDTV my connection is HDMI-DVI.....and did I mention 1080i.......

--Side note..for a CRT HDTV my TV will FCUK with the best of them......

@ ZNU I am a fan of tehnology....which means that I am a PS3 fan...I like cool stuff...I am also a 360 fan....But it like having two cars..

Your first car being a 2004 GS430(black)....your second being a 2006 GX470.... on snowy days I will not drive the GS430 with summer tires I will drive the GX470 AWD with KDS(teal green)....does not mean I do not like the 2004 GS430..becuase on a nice summer day...the GS430 gets clean***bling out*** and we take it for a ride. I am a Lexus fan....just like I am a fan of gaming...............

[dktxx2]

Its probably just a random dude who edited the photos to make one look worse than the other. Its easy to do. He has no credibility. Why this would even be considered news is beyond me.

[awful]

They both look good, everyone wins :)

[ForROME]

You kids wake up, when you look at a pic just like when you read a story, always check the source before spatting off at the mouth
we all know who this is, a typical xbot, what did you expect

[Snukadaman]

On topic...im sure these wont be the only pics comparing the game to come through n4g...so lets just sit back and see the results before we go off the handle there steve-O.

[cputeq]

****************************** ********
CELL has 8 cores if you are unaware

xenon has 3 cores which are watered down ofcourse. there is nothing like a tricore crap in xenon when it is 1/20 as CELL
***************************** ****************

....except you're wrong. The Xbox has a triple *core* CPU. All cores are identical.

The PS3 has a *single* core and 7 SPEs. An SPE is *not* a core. It doesn't have the capabilities of the core unit, so you can't claim the PS3 is an "8 core" machine because it's simply not true. Think of an SPE as like an old-time "floating point processor" back in the days of 3x86 and 4x86 CPU/mobo addons in the PC world and you have an idea of a SPE's function.

***********************
CELL is around 4--5x as powerful as the QUAD CORE processor. Anyone who runs FOLDING HOME project will notice that CELL dissipates 250GFLOPS of energy per sec
************************

Remember when I mentioned people should stop using terminology when they have no clue what they're talking about? Well, so far, you've done this twice.

The Cell doesn't "dissipate" anything but heat, and maybe some RF signals. FLOPS simply aren't a measure of energy, so I'm not sure where you're going with this.

FLOPS is "floating-point operations/second", not energy. It's not "dissipated" my unlearned friend...it's simply a measurement of how quickly the Cell architecture can pump out floating point calculations. Cell is very speedy at this, everyone knows.

This is why, of course, all of your linked, synthetic benchmarks show the PS3 in a very good light. The Cell *IS* a powerful beast, there is no doubt.

Anyone with computing experience will know, though, that a fast CPU alone does not a fast game machine make. You need fast supporting hardware (RAM, Video processing, buses) and smart software (compilers).
Blindly stating "the cell is more powerful than 360's CPU", while technically true, DOESN'T neccesarily translate into "the PS3 is a more powerful console than the 360". Assuming so would be false.

And yet again, my synthetic-benchmark-linking friend, you would also know there are often times large differences between synthetic benchmark results and real-world performance.

Will the PS3 outperform the 360 in cross-platform games? Maybe one day, who knows?

But, I ask you, what is the true definition of "power"? Higher numbers in synthetic benchmarks, or the ability of software developers to actually harness a console's power effectively?

You can screw around in PS3's browser / Folding all day running ray tracing demos or bending proteins to make yourself feel better, but it doesn't mean jack if this performance advantage can't translate into real-world gaming performance.

(Side note: I like my PS3 better...I do, as a matter of fact I'm giving my 360 to my bro-in-law for his 21st Bday, but that doesn't mean the 360 isn't a powerful gaming machine).

[sajj316]

I don't mind comparisons. Just note that these screenshots were taken from Gamersyde.com (user BlimBlim). He captures PS3 video via HDMI through a debug PS3 and also I think a debug 360 (most likely a retail version). The screen captures were taken after creating HD videos and then splicing them to make a comparison (typically what gametrailers will do also).

What's more important is the game in motion. You can argue over staircase jaggy but I'd rather the game play smooth. This was the same argument for Call of Duty 4. I think Capcom has done a fine job with creating two very good versions. The only difference is really the AA if you think about it.

I would love to play it on my 360 but I got my first RROD and will ship it out soon to get it fixed. Sucks for me ... at least I can play it on my reliable PS3. I used to think it would never happen to me since I take care of my systems.

[VforVideogames]

DID ANYONE NOTICE THOSE "JAGGIES" ON THE PS3 VERSION????????? WHAT A SHAME...

[OmegaKulu]

how lame can you guys get? its a freaking demo, tho my guess is the full game wont be much different, but still. geez like you guys will actually care about these things while u play it... maybe you guys should go out side and and get some... fresh air?

[Adamalicious]

The ones on the right certainly look better than the left, but the ones on the left look blurred in a way that makes me suspicious. So I'm not buying in - I'll judge for myself when it's done downloading.

[Bill Gates]

Ding, ding, ding,.....As always brother, you hit the nail right on the head and took the thought right out of my head and onto your keyboard.

But some people are easily blinded, and fooled by anything these days, and to those BABOONS I say....AAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHA HA

[Winters89]

Stop crying they both look they same, I hate this stupid console war.

Anyway who the hell would stick their face on their tv or count pixels to see witch one is better?

[kewlkat007]

True Honesty.. Both HDMI/Samsung 1080P 46 inch.

***************************** ******************************* *************
PS3 Graphics, I kept switching back and fourth and looking at the courtyard at the beginning.

Graphic = Bland, softer, Colors do not "pop" at you. Looking at the Rose petals and also during the "Devil May Cry" Title the game looks Hazy/Cloudy.

Controls = Way better on the Dualshock. More fluid during fights.

***************************** ******************************* ************

Xbox 360 Graphics = Colors are more Vivid, It's sharper, a tad Brighter. Just looking at the courtyard, you see the difference. The Rose Petals again.

Controls = While the 360 have the same layout, I would of rather have the "RT" button for lock-on instead of the "RB". While the controls work, I favor the DualShock.
***************************** ******************************* ****************

Conclusion, I notice Slashing the sword with "Dante", was a lot quicker on the PS3. Not sure why that is but it feels a Tad faster. When you go near that alter and use the "Evil Hand" I noticed a little slow down on the 360 during that scene. Just look at the Rings.

So if I was getting the game today, I would sacrifice the "Graphics", "Achievements", "Rumble" on the 360 version and go with gameplay mechanism and fluidity on the PS3. I will not buy a game I cannot enjoy physically playing.

Feels good to have a choice..haha

[sajj316]

we meet again. I agree with what you said. The 360 does have better AA but the controls are spot on for the PS3. I'm only judging by screenshots though as my 360 is D-E-A-D. I also agree that gameplay is the most important thing and you got to go with what feels right.

[NanoGeekTech]

Great thing.........that is why we vote with our wallets.

[wil4hire]

Xbots will buy the 360 version.
Droids will buy the PS3 version.

People that own both will buy whichever version they want.

god damn. Both versions look and play fine. Stop trying to make yourself feel better by how an electronic device renders a game. Get a life chumps

[joeynox]

Just played the 360 version and its beautiful and plays extremely smooth.

@42.2 all those flops and calculations mean nothing. its all mumbo jumbo to make the billion dollor tech sound better. Its what the tech can do in real world situations and so far the "cell" hasn't paid off. Sony developed the cell and bluray to corner those markets and only bluray is winning. If the cell was such a great chip as sony says than it word be in my pc or in a mac.I'm not saying its not impressive or anything but its not the god chip that people make it out to be. As far as the ati gpu in the 360 ,its a better chip than the gpu in the ps3 anyone with half a brain could tell you that and its not because of #'s its because of the hardware.

I'm gonna download it on the ps3 to see how it looks and plays but i figure it should be the same.GG PS3 fanboys & XboX Fanboys be happy we both got a great game

[Jikla]

just another way to make the console war ongoing. I don't care what got the better graphic if I just get to play the darn game

[Eddie20101]

Whoever made this post is a complete liar, the game looks identical on both systems. I have played the demo on both the PS3 and Xbox 360, the textures and anti aliassing are the same for both. This is another attemp by scared little Xbox 360 fanboys to make people believe the PS3 is not as good as the Xbox 360.

I do not think all people who enjoy the Xbox 360 are fanboys, I enjoy both the PS3 and Xbox 360. There is no reason to be disshonest, both consoles are great and both will be around for a long time and both will have great playing and great looking games.

[Suki03]

I thought the PS3 demo was released in 480p? I haven't played the 360 version yet, still not repaired. Maybe when the game is 1080p, it will be different I'm assuming. It's still a good game, I can't wait :D

Cmon guys, does somehow trash talking about other people's system makes you enjoy your game more? Let's all be friends. :)

[tab553]

It has no doubt been said before but its very interesting and a bit sad how you can be in denial when you are a ps3 owner. You were lead to believe you were buying the most powerful console. But the evidence for that does not exist in game after game. Thus some of the comments above.
I've been there (before I bought a 360 because of a lack of games on the ps3), it's not a pleasant feeling to know you've been taken in by hype. But it's better to be honest and just admit the truth. Theres no shame in that. I think the consensus on other sites and what I have played myself is the 360 looks sharper, the ps3 plays better. Yes it doesnt matter so much but as with anything you want the best rather than second best. We're always after the best.
I think if I just owned the ps3 it is best not to look at these comparison sites because it usually leads to you feeling depressed. Be content with your version (ps3). It will probably play better.
To the above person who suggests getting a life you are right but why are you even looking at this?

[Suki03]

If you read my post I never said anything like get a life, but I'm taking the time to try to tell people it's not saying "I'm better than you" that's making the game more enjoyable to oneself. Reread again if you thought I was saying something else.

[Genki]

or at the very least the difference is so miniscule as to be irrelevant. But of course....140+ comments and 500 degrees of hysteria later...

[Doctor Strange]

This is the problem with comparison screenshots or videos, we can't trust anybody anymore.

I think the bottom line is if they both play great that's the main issue. I can't trust these shots because it is a forum post, an unreliable source and this contradicts what we have heard from major game sites and blogs saying that they pretty much look the same.

Buy the version for whatever system you got and be happy. If you got both then its up to your controller preference or whatever system you like best.

[Suki03]

I think it's not just the thread about the comparison videos that people scream out liar, it's the gaming forum in general. When I posted my first post stating my experiences with the xbox being RROD, someone immediately jumped out and screamed "fake". I was shocked and little confused in why because they don't even know me. After I started to read more I understood the idea of being so-called "fanboy", and people making up stuff just to make a point in their argument.

I may be wrong in thinking that Sony owners should be pushing Sony to make their products better for them, and 360 owner should be pushing MS to doing the same. But instead they attack each other. To me, ultimately, that's not really helping ourselves.

[Bathyj]

Why are the tiniest graphical differences on 3rd party games such a big deal to you clowns?

Yet 1st party games like Halo3 (Jaggies, slow framerate, building blocklevel design) Mass Effect (framerate. texture pop in) Forza (JAGGIES, JAGGIES, JAGGIES, I have to yell and repeat they're so bad) dont seem to bother you at all.

Yet 1st party Sony games Resistance., Motorstorm, Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, Ratchet are ALL smooth as butter, ALL jaggies free but you guys all dismiss them because apparently sales are all that matter.

I dont mind having something better than what other people have, even if not as many people bought it. It has a lot to do with the user base you know. And the fact Bots buy anything at all. Even Perfect Dark Zero and Marvel Alliance has sold more than Uncharted, if you seriously think they're better games, you're a loser and a liar.

[LightningPS3]

PS3 can do some great stuff graphically, I've seen it with Uncharted and Rachet & Clank.

But the fact remains that games that are cross platform are a weakness for PS3.

I think the way the games are made to work on both consoles, just don't work to PS3's advantage. But it's the development also not the console.

Burnout Paradise looks better on PS3, because of the way that team went about development. So you have to understand it's the way the developer chooses to go about it.

[THAMMER1]

D@mn

[gnothe1]

my god!! is there a sony boy alive that will accept the truth!! there has been time an time again on multiple games where the 360 version just looks sharper an more detailed than the PS3 version. but every time somebody yells out its fake or the game in question is trash anyway. will anybody step up to the plate an believe that the PS3isnt WAY MORE POWERFUL than the 360 an the PS3 isnt some machine made by god himself. if games only favored the 360 every once in a while then maybe you would have a leg to stand on, but we've been here WAY to many times for you guys to continue to write off the 360 as INFERIOR when games continue to look an run better on the 360

[DJ]

I remember that guy when I was a member of PS3 Forums; the Administrators were forced to ban him for posting false information (and it's pretty damn hard to get banned from that site).

From what I've heard, the 360 version was improved quite a bit from the last round of previews and both the PS3 and 360 versions look identical. The only tangible difference is that the PS3 has faster load times, thanks to the Hard Drive install option and the two systems have different controllers (choose your favorite).

[power of Green]

Why so much hate in here I'v been telling you guys this for weeks.

I'v been showing you texture comparisons for weeks.

I hate when this happens it only makes PS3 fanboys more rabid. If you'd had just listen the first time.

[GITPWNED]

Hahaha. I personally took those two shots from the GT comparison video weeks ago! thanks for helping me spread the truth! damn sony droids...

[Ahhhh]

@Panthers 5.3 -
"I have to say that you guys are wrong. I see jaggies on the 360 side. The sword has a lot more on the bottom pic. Other than that I see 0 difference." Ugh, so yea, when did you start deciding who was right or wrong on graphics of a game that looks very much the same on both the PS3 and 360. Get a life, bruh..

[smokysmoke]

LOL i SOOO agree with Zambrato BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT COMPAIR A PEICE OF CRAP SYSTEM LIKE XBOX TO A PS3 HOW FRIGGEN DUMB ARE YOU PEOPLE I HAVE A PS3 AND PLAYED THE DEMO AND THEN PLAYED IT ON MY FRIENDS 360 AND BY FAR PS3 WINS DONT EVEN TALK SMACK THE TRUTH IS UP ABOVE....^^^^^^^^ READ THE SPECS ABOUT CELL PROCESSORS AND GET A LIFE!!! IM SICK OF THE HOMO 360 LOVERS THERE JUST PISSED CAUSE THERE SYSTEM SUCKS AND ARE TO CHEAP TO AFFORD A GOOD SYSTEM GO PLAY SAGA GENESIS LOLLOLLOLOLOL

[MasterChief2829]

Lmao, you just made my day man. You just qualified for the Biggest Fanboy of the Year award. Congratulations. :lol:

[power of Green]

Will this stop destroyah's moronic rants and never ending attacks?, probably not.

[stennexxx]

The PS3 version is really good. I use HDMi on my PS3. Great contrast, very detailed environments. Just want to also point out that it was an Xbot who first complained about the games being better on his RROd prone box. I also feel sad for those xbites who paid $50 and are not able to download this incredible game that we as Sony fanboys use to enjoy on our mega hit console the PS2. The game coming out for us both. It looks great and plays great so far. Enjoy.

[power of Green]

Look at all the PS3 fanatics turn on the 360 attacking, ignoring that its the PS3 thats the problem, this is a PS3 game ported over to a console that has capabilities the PS3 does not have.

#96 if it looks that good on your TV then you could imagine what it looks on my HDTV lol.

[n_n]

can't wait to play it... looks great and i'm gonna have an awesome time... this gen rocks!

[joeynox]

The games look the same. Each system has its strengths and weaknesses and it will show no matter which game is released. As far as the screens of both versions paying them on a tv you cant tell a graphical deifference. but a screenshot shows a slight advantage to the 360. But who cares.

Anyone who says the 360 is a piece of crap is on crack. My 2 launch models have been running strong without any problems.As for halo I didnt have any frame rate problems and the graphic were fine for me. I didnt buy it for the graphics I bought it because its the best online game for a console, "well was the best till cod4"

[revsnake]

we win again :)(360) who cares if they are fake :) it makes it look like we won:)

[kewlkat007]

Seems like the Dualshock buttons are "Depressed" a lot Quicker then your 360 controller counterpart.

The Dualshock buttons are so easy when pressing down naturally, they bounce back rather quick, as with the 360 the button is round and thick and needs to be "depressed" deeper to make the connection. Maybe it's Wear and Tear.

And I'll stress again the 360 is more detailed, sharper..I'm not sure what gamers are looking at? Some seem to think they look exactly alike. I mean it's not a big deal, neither should it be a deal breaker since the PS3 handles much better but that's the consensus throughout.

OK I'm out

[Covenant]

1, 2, 3, 4! I declare a flame war!

[Covenant]

5, 6, 7, 8! There's no point to this debate!

[Covenant]

Jessica Alba, Keira Knightley, or Kirsten Dunst?

[skitzoid]

I can't tell the difference in graphics one bit. I am comparing them on 2 1080p Samsungs side by side at the same time. There are differences but they are a wash.

Once place nobody can argue is the controls. The PS3 version is spot on and everything works flawlessly. On the 360 version they are a little sluggish and sometimes the character walks when he should be sprinting.

These screenshots shown in this article are complete garbage and taken by an obvious fanboy, period. Even side by side you have to struggle to see the differences.

It's going to be another one of those purchase it for the system you own or weigh the pros and cons between the 2.

[etownone]

i can't believe everyone on this site has gotten so petty...

THEY LOOK THE FREAKIN SAME DAMMIT!!!!

if there is lag like in orange box, or updated textures like in oblivion, or obvious differences like in splinter cell.... then ok...

but they look the same....and if future games look this then that great for all of us...as long as htere wont be that obvious diff is some games like in the last gen between xbox and ps2

[NinjaRyu]

for gamers everywhere!

http://www.petitiononline.c...

SIGN IT! Let Fox & rest of the world know it anyone attacks are games their gonna get OWNED!

P.S. I played the DMC4 Demo Today at 2 of my friends houses. One with a PS3, One with a 360! Both Version of DMC4 play the same!

[Funky Town_TX]

Sony fans will say this is fake. 360 fans will so no it's not.

Why is it when a Ps3 game looks a little better it is because of:

the Cell
RSX
better ram
and what ever else

when the 360 version looks a little better it is because:

the ps3 version was a port
they had more time to make the 360 version

It is what it is guys. 360 version looks better. Who cares why.

[BloodySinner]

Yeah, the Xbox 360 version looks way better.

[InMyOpinion]

Lots of denial going on in here. The 360 version looks better, period.

Btw, how come everytime a 360 game looks better PS3 fanboys come up with excuses like "they weren't using the right cables/settings etc. The PS3 version looks better if you believe in Sony hard enough."

I never heard anyone go "The 360 version of Burnout Paradise looks better, they are only using the wrong cables/settings. That's why it seems like the PS3 version has an edge."

[VforVideogames]

GRAPHICS ACHIEVMENTS AND RUMBLE ARE ENUFF REASONS FOR ME TO GET THE 360 VERSION, ENUFF SAID.

[etownone]

FOR THE ACHEIVEMENTS AND RUMBLE, YOU MAY HAVE A POINT. bUT THE GRAPHICS LOOK THE SAME.

I wish this site would stop being so damn petty. I own a xbox, and i'm not buying a PS3 only because I'm not rich, and the 360 plays games of equal quality as the PS3, but to go on and on about this is pointless..... lets go back to arguing about the meaningless stuff, like MGS4 coming to 360 or PS3 awesome lineup for 08, but not as meaningless as this.

[poopface1]

I just played the demo and I douubt ill even buy it. Seemed alot like dmc3 but prettier. It was only 10 min though so ill defiantly rent it and give it a try. I just cant get over how corny #3 was (twirling through the air on a table shotting things and screaming "lets party," or some vin diesel shi# like that) and hope this is better.

[darthv72]

I dont have a ps3. I think the 360 version is very good looking. I am sure the ps3 is equally good. For whatever system you prefer you shouldn't be disappointed.

[jax07]

For anyone that hasn't played God of War please do so. If you like Devil May Cry you will love God of War. The story is FAR better, the action is intense but not as confined as Devil May Cry but definately more brutal. Also I dont see how anyone is getting excited about this game because it is essentailly the same as 3 and 1.

[Amagai Shuusuke]

PS3 graphics are better cause like Burnout
Paradise, it was built on PS3 hardware.
But its not that big a difference.

[aceman7]

I'll wait for gametailer's comparison because they use PS3's full RGB.

[Dublin_Chewah]

So as naturally the way these things go it is ported, similar but more professional than the Orange Box. Both graphics cards in the PS3 and XBOX differ in how they display polygons, Modified OpenGL and DirectX for each console but the end result is just as good as you're display. Jaggies are a fact of gaming regardless, I played the Xbox demo and seen loads, maybe some are slightly more smoothed out but this is not a cause for such rampant platform and fanboy bashing. Ha ha... you have all wasted you're time listening to this bull just like me, I have ignored the idiots and this site is much better for the ignor button. This game will tide me over until Ninja Gaiden! Along with Bioshock I will play this alot and it seems well worth my hard earned cash. Many thanks again Capcom for a great game shared from the PS3 owners catalogue. I hope Bioshock comes to the playstation 3 to return the favour. May the seed of you're loins be fruitful in the belly of your woman Capcom!

[360Crusader]

I downloaded both PS3 and 360 DMC 4 demo. I was very impressed with both demos. I was a little worried about the 360 version. Being that the PS3 version was being made 2 years a head of it. But they did a excellent job in fixing up the 360 version. Great Job Capcom. I have much respect for that company. One of the more talented developer companys.
Their was no screen tearing or frame rate issues, nothing on the 360 version. Both versions were near flawless. And the 360 controls are very good. I quickly adapted to it.
Looks like we both win today.

[INehalemEXI]

Indeed, Bubble @ yah 360Crusader.

[power of Green]

Click on the bar above the pics to enlarge them lol.

The PS3 version was ahead in development when 1up and pals made that comment like I said PS3 had already been worked on before the Xbox version was even thought of. The Xbox has tools to develope for it fast in comparison.

[Horny]

nice, u guys managed to turn this into a flame war and we dont even know if this is legit.
Not to mention they basically look identical and you wont be able to tell the difference while you are playing.
I still dont know what system Ill get it for but I heard the PS3 version has a better framerate plus the controller is more fit for this game. Honestly I really dont give a damn I just want to play this game.

[DJ]

And while I think the controller thing is pretty subjective, the graphics are (according to reviewers) slightly better on the PS3. It's something you could only tell if identical HDTVs were played side by side (which never happens), so it's not like it matters.

Are you planning to install DMC to improve load times? (I know I am)

[x360rulezx]

WOW I am kinda ashamed of my 360 brethren. Even ps3tards admit we're leading in sales they let us have our win on that and you guys can't even admit that a freaking demo is better on ps3. I don't care what they say ps3 fans you win this one.

[snakeater3]

guuuuyysss....ggeezz...relaaax x......they look similar enough....good visuals (not great) on both systems....great gameplay (not outstanding - we miss you mikami)....guess we will be busy until mgs4 comes out ye? and sony boys...dont worry about the power of ps3....first party titles (uncharted, res2, mgs4, ff13) rape the 360 in the visuals department ....its ok...ms only fcked up the multiplats this gen...at least we still get to play top notch exclusives ya? ;)

[hokis4ever]

Looking at those pics, the 360 does look better overall...

But at the same time i wonder if the person taking the shots was using HDMI or component... guess we'll bever know unless i buy it for the PS3 and try it out myself... which i will anyway.

[DJ]

And he actually makes these "screen comparisons" on his own most of the time, which is why the administrators had to ban him. It's just too misleading. He'll take screenshots of his choice off the net and then alter them in photoshop (often the exact same screengrab) and then label one side as Console A and the other side as Console B.

[DJ]

I just beat the PS3 demo, and it's f-ing awesome! 360 owners are saying the exact same thing.

[AngryTypingGuy]

It looks better on the 360 version. If you look at the shots with the dragon in the background especially, look at the scales on the dragon. The textures are better on the 360 version and slightly more sharp.

I beat the 360 demo awhile ago, and I actually like the game. I didn't think that I would (I've never owned a Sony system, so I've never played any DMC game). I wish that you could have total control of the camera though. That's my only nitpick. The game looks amazing and plays amazing. The framerate seemed fine to me, I thought it was smooth.

[JeepGamer]

The PS3 version probably looks better in completely superficial ways but in the end does it actually matter? Both systems are in for a great action adventure game with fantastic graphics. If the differences between the two games are enough to affect your enjoyment of them on either system then you have issues.

[sodeaf]

I have both systems and I still feel its still apples and oranges. I mean yes 360 looks more colorful but PS3's looks smoother. Dunno call me crazy but I really don't care. I downloaded both demos and I will most likely get it for PS3 because because the controller feels right...plus I don't have to fear that my PS3 will get a ring of death. Im at a point in time were I am afraid to turn on my 360 because I got the ring like 2 weeks ago. So I'll just use it for Gears and Splinter Cell when it comes out.
Everyone...just enjoy the f@cking game for whatever console you get it for.. Peace

[iMad]

That comes from the nature of game development.

Quick statements of the day from me (former game developer).
----------------------------- --------------------------
1. PS3's GPU holds multi platform games back. Cell will not help make graphics so much better because GFX-programming is single threaded, not parallel like Cell. So multiplatform games will always look better on XBOX. PS3 will have good games with great physics (LittleBigPlanet) but no with better GFX. Unified architecture of XBOX Xenos GPU is Nvidia 8800 level while PS3's RSX GFX is Nvidia last gen 7xxx series.
2. Sony know this. That is why they over hype and lie to their customers. But software sale shows us that customers didn't get fooled. More than expected amount of people buy PS3 for..for movies first and don't buy PS3 games.
3.SonyDefence forse is acting on this site and all over internet. That is a group of people that write great user reviews on SONY product all over internet. So be careful receiving information about SONY products. If product is bad SonyDefenceForce will make it look better than it is by posting reviews and their lying opinions at most popular internet sites.

[AngryTypingGuy]

I've never seen anything more pathetic than the Sony Defense Force. HOW GAY! Why does Sony need a defense force anyway? Aren't these the same geeks who petitioned Capcom for releasing DMC4 on the 360?

Everytime I read "Sony Defense Force", I picture a pimply faced 13 year old kid with braces and greasy hair, who has no chance in hell of ever getting a girlfriend.

I like the 360, but I would never start or join a "360 Defense Force". If I did, I don't think I'd ever be able to look anyone in the eye again.

[XiaoSet]

WTF, you guys are just looking for flame bait, like this damn article. If you guys actually look at the damn pictures, and not be diluted fanboys, they look the exact same for both versions.

Shut the hell up, all of you.

[skagrerrrr]

some other game

[n_n]

looks amazing to me... loving it... you guys can cry all you want (pardon pun) lmao... so far so great.. this gen rocks, i don't care what platform.. just get the game and enjoy you bunch of panssies

[P4KY B]

I didn't expect them to look so different.

The pic with the sword says it all.

[roybatty]

Then it looks like the 360 textures have much more information than the ps3 ones.
I already knew that the AA was way better on the 360's ATI chip, you can see the blockyness
on edges and shadows on the ps3. (nvidia sucks)

I'm a ps3 owner btw, and can't stand the 360. I just now it has a great video chip.
Everything else about it sucks balls. But it does do textures and shadows/edges better than the rsx.

[DJ]

But Aquanox is famous for putting up picture comparisons that he himself fakes, and this is just one more example. PS3Forums Admins banned him because he was posting intentionally altered screen comparisons.

Yeah, Xenos has amazingly good AA capabilities (nVidia better copy the ED-RAM concept); unfortunately, these screens don't actually prove that. =/

[leon76]

Ahahahahahaha!!!! Stupid assholes that you are...seems to me that you believe in anything that is presented to you...what a bunch of idiots!!!!...you believed in GT sh*ty site game comparasions, so i'm not suprised with this believes!!!! of course they are are fake big time, posted by an asshole xbot that is tired of bad news for x360!!!

[waldopepper]

Oh my god yet another thread that shows that one version looks ever-so-slightly different to the other one - what are we going to do? If it takes someone to pause it and make identical side-by-side screenshots to notice any difference then it's not going to effect your enjoyment of the game.

Please shut up.

[SJL480]

If those are both really from both systems then he's got them backwards because the ps3 demo looks like the pics on the right side
EXACTLY LIKE THEM

[x360rulezx]

You may be right mine looks more like the left. Could be different settings or bad capture equipment/settings. Of course I didn't lie to myself and think a game that's always been sony exclusive would just magically all of a sudden be better on 360.

[sak500]

Dont you idiot sonydroids even think ? This isn't that 360 is slightly better or ps3 is slightly better, WTF did ur Godfather say before launching ps3? It will blow 360 games day one. Go and question his selling tactics. If it wasnt for their overhyped and lies about ps3 we all would be happy with whatever games we are getting now. No, but they had to downplay 360 and overhype ps3 to sky, see now ur'e trying to clutch at straws at making you justify buying the expensive console when the same can be done on a console launched 1 year before yours and at much cheaper price.

Edit: @ROY: You talk about ps2 vs xbox, since it wasnt about gfx it was about what? Games and 1 year head start and devs support and Ps1 success? SO this gen, 360 came first and signed up exclusives and go devs support. Had good sales by the time ps3 arrived. Ps3s sales dropped off quickly when it couldn't prove that it was what it was hyped up to be. So now see the current situation, ps3 boasting superior graphics and all but trailing 360 and Wii.

You say millions of ps2 owners ready to jump. I was a ps2 owner myself, i wanted next gen gaming from get go, so i bought 360 cuz i could afford it. And in asia 360 is being modded and its games are costing 10$, why do u think ps2 is such a success in these 3rd world countries? If u're smart enough to type maybe you can find it out urself.

[iMad]

SONY made not so great product and the way they promote PS3 just can be accepted. They think i am an idiot with no brains?

[roybatty]

All hardware companies hype and talk sh1t when they are pushing something.
But the 360 does not do everything the ps3 does so don't come that bulls1t here.
It's poorly constructed, loud, not high def, horrible controller and you have to pay to play online.
Add to that it will never fly in Asia so the future game variation looks crap on the 360 too. Now I openly admit that I like the ATi chip in it is very much better than the RSX. But the PS3 is waaay better machine than the 360.
Remember lady, the old (and failed) xbox was 'slightly' better graphics than the ps2, but that did not mean DIDDLEY in the end did it? You need allot more than nice AA and soft shadows to win a console war.
Look who's winning right now. The Wii, and thats a pile of sh1t hardware wise.
You have to be in it for the long haul.
There are around 100 million ps2 users out there that one day will go next gen. And guess what? They don't all want to play on that ugly 4ss dashboard or whatever the f()ck you call it, booting Madden NFl or endless FPS games.
GO SONY.

[GITPWNED]

L............ M............... F............ A.......... O.............

O-U-C-H

Forget about the insane amount of jaggiez all over the PS3rd version...

Just look at the COMPLETE LACK of shader detail on the giant demon/fire boss as he walks passed. the 360 version is crisp and detailed with normal/bump mapping, and the PS3rd version is blury!! LMFAO!!!! LACK OF RAM FTL.

COMPLETE CAUSE OF THE GTA4 DELAY FTL.

LOL Stupid sony fanboys GOTPWNED!!!!!!!!!!

[meepmoopmeep]

i'm playing the demo @ 720p and those jaggies in those screenshots aren't there for my ps3 version... especially the screenshot of Nero:

"look at the hair.. the coat collar"

yes, yes i looked on my hdtv.. NO JAGGIES... something isn't right and i know i ain't blind.

oh well, still enjoying the demo and this is a day one buy for me.

[nobiggy]

LOL Stupid xthingymibob fanboys GOTPWNED!!!!!!!!!!

effin knob jockeys

[tudors]

The differnce is so slight that argument is pointless.

[tudors]

Ok your right the Xbox-360 version does look better.

[bigtoe1986]

These screens look indentical!
If you own a PS3 then buy that version!
If you own a 360 then buy that version!
They look exactley the same, anyone who says different is a fool and is proberley just trying to get hits on their website. These days what you read on gamer sites has more rubbish than the News papers!

[good2face]

You are absolutely correct. I played both the 360 and PS3 demos yesterday and they are virtually identical. The only visual difference is in some filtering settings it seems. You definitely cannot clearly say one is better than another.
I think the bigger effect on your DMC4 experience would be the controller, so pick whichever you prefer.

[forcefullpower]

WHAT PART OF THESE PICTURES HAVE BEEN FAKES DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND XBOTS.

BTW, THESE PICTURES ARE FROM 360 ONLY WITH DIFFERENT SETTING.

THIS IS NOT A COMPARISON.

You guys are getting really desperate to justify having a 360 now. lol

[Jack Bauer]

even from my own comparison on my TV i noticed the textures look ever so slightly better on the 360...although it doesnt matter, they are so close, unless you are deliberetly trying to compare the two you wouldnt notice any difference at all. and even so, the controls feel better on the sixaxis over the 360 controller anyway...

[Salvadore]

Where they using HDMI for the PS3 version or what?

[JThomasV06]

Why does everyone get so hyped up about these pictures they find of video games on the internet, who the heck knows where the pictures come from, they could be the same console, just on different quality televisions, they could be different quality televisions on different consoles, who knows, all i know is that whichever console you have its merely preference, the game looks sick on both consoles im sure, stop arguing like a buch of children, the 360 is a good console but lacks certains things. the PS3 is a good console but lacks certain things, all there is to it, stop whining.

[-CaT-]

Children fighting over mere inches of differences.. The simple fact is, the PS3 version uses a blurring filter while the 360 version does not..The filter is used to give the game a more "smoothed out" look to it (less jaggies) However when viewed within zoomed shots it also hides some of the smaller details as well ..

Both versions look the same , but are simply running off of different hardware.. Hence different filters being used...

Nobody should be arguing over this. I don't think anybody is going to play this game while sitting 2 inches from their HDTV's anyway ..

[Ares84]

And comparing everything with these shots! And I can confirm that these are bullshots! Some people really want the PS3 to look bad!! At this point...it's ridiculous!

[Pika-pie]

*head in hands* I dont even know why I bother to open these comparison posts. They just put me in such a bad mood.

360 & PS3 owners a like should just buy this game, shut the hell up and just enjoy it. Gamers unite!

[ilkercruiser]

Looks very similiar except some better textures on Xbox360 in some screens

[achira]

lol, some ppl are so dumb. 1. the screenshots are identical! 2. what is the source ? can you be sure the source is unbiased ? can you be sure that the pictures are not twisted ? 3. some xbots claim, they tested it, and come to the conclusion, that the xbox version is better. how did they tested it, if they only own a xbox360 ? ppl who would own both consoles, wouldnt argue about such bs. 4. when you look at the pictures, you would notice that at the most part, the ps3 version, shows parts wich are far away, hence the blur filter is used. the pics are not at identical positions, it has no sense to compare them. 5. the game is very good, and runs perfectly, very smooth, perfect controls, great graphics, a great game! have a lot of fun, ps3 owners, and xbox users!

[KDash]

"bullsh*t-fake comparison"... *tired*

[CrazzyMan]

HOW DO YOU PEOPLE KNOW, WHICH VERSION IS WHICH? IS THERE ANY HUD ON THEM? PS3 or x360 buttons?

[Figboy]

extreme TV of *SUCK, because i have an X Box 360, and i have a Playstation 3.

i've downloaded the DMC4 demo on the PS3, and it truly looks *NOTHING like these "screenshots."

i'm playing the game on a 40" 720p LCD Samsung, the PS3 connected via HDMI, with RGB Full and Super White turned on.

looking at these screens, and looking at my television, show me two *TOTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS.

i just downloaded and played the 360 version and here is what i've noticed:

*YOU PEOPLE ARE F*CKING PATHETIC!

the 360 version looks a little brighter, but as far as texture quality, *BOTH VERSIONS ARE IDENTICAL.

on the gameplay aspect, i think it "feels" better on the PS3, but 360 fans won't be hurting, as the controls are smooth also. the *ONLY thing that felt funny to me, was using the right bumper to lock onto enemies.

you use the R1 button on the PS3, and i guess because the R1 button is bigger than the Right Bumper on the 360, it feels a bit more comfortable, as it's just a bit easier for my fingers to reach in normal play than the bumper.

the face buttons and triggers don't affect the game as far as i can tell. both versions have smooth framerates and controls overall.

i mean, the fact that this topic has gotten over 200 comments is just ridiculous.

and this *LIAR, the guy who *PURPOSELY downgraded the quality of the PS3 version of the game should be ashamed of himself, just to feel like his console is superior. i mean, *WHY go this far for *NO REASON? misrepresenting one console over the other isn't making your life better, so *WHY DO IT? why spread disinformation and FUD? it's ridiculous!

i don't lie, i don't exaggerate, and i base all of my opinions on what i see to be fact.

my conclusion on all of this, is that *BOTH versions of DMC4 are practically *IDENTICAL and if there *ARE differences between them, i certainly didn't see them (outside of the 360 version seeming a bit brighter).

i mean, damn, you fanboys are truly a sad, pathetic lot. grow. UP.

[BenzMoney]

Unless you can actually PROVE that these screens are fakes or were manipulated, then the only person who's "f*cking pathetic" here, with his long-winded, overly emotional, insult-as-many-people-as-he-ca n, "I *NEED to *EMPHASIZE every *SECOND word in order to *GET my *POINT across" rant is you.

The fact that this post got so many comments isn't pathetic. The fact that you took so much effort in writing your little "Grow Up / Holier than Thou" book, however? Different story.

I don't know whether these images are fake or not. But i can say that -i couldn't find any differences when comparing the Ps3 version vs the 360 version. My older brother got a 360 and we started a childish debate over wich console DMC4 would be superior on. But we couldn't find any differences at all. At least, my Ps3 version of the game don't look as those screenshots.

And one more thing. The 360 graphics card is KNOWN to be better at AA than the RSX. So this isn't exactly a new thing.

[BUKKAKALYPSE]

360 is looking better..Coulda called that one

[skagrerrrr]

like the game then don't buy it.rent it out first or borrow your friend's disc if you have the thick skin to do so.

[Solotov]

If these images are legit, then 360 wins
360 has less jaggies (better Antialiasing). Last pic...the sword on PS3 version more jaggies. The fire dragon pic shows the 360 has better textures (look on the dragon body on 4th pic)

[BenzMoney]

What's with all the hate in this thread? So much denial. Nobody can argue that, based on the screens posted, the 360 version indeed looks better. That's plain fact. Facts > Opinions. And unless it is proven that these screens are fake or modified in anyway, that fact stands.

In motion, the story could be compeltely different. I don't know, because frankly I don't care. DMC4, from what I understand, is boring as hell and I'm not interested in it anyways. But looking at these screenshots, it's obvious which one looks better and all the arguing otherwise is just silly.

[Mrcool]

The screen shots from the 360 look way better. The PS3 SUCKS BUTT.

[RadientFlux]

After checking the first screen-shot comparison, I decided it was pointless to look at another. If there is a difference it's hardly noticeable and getting into arguments about it is pointless

[Lonewolf1991]

so many people obsessed with textures and graphics...
Just go and enjoy the game people...

[djroberts]

I played the PS3 demo last night, the images on the left are not the PS3 version or something has been done to them. The PS3 version looks like the images on the right.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

who cares? Both will play great and deliver the same game. We all win!!!!

[VforVideogames]

DOES ANYBODY NOTICE THE "JAGGIES" ON THE PS3 VERSION?? THATS A SHAME SINCE THE GAME WAS MADE ON THE PS3 HARDWARE

[xSithx]

You can almost never trust what you see on the net since there's always people lying or in these cases, trying to make one system look better than the other. I don't know how valid these screenshots are because you don't know which resolutions were used, which cables etc (people can tell you how they were set up, but without physical proof you really don't know for sure).

All I know is I played the demo last night on my PS3 and it looked great and looked a lot better than those screenshots. I would download it and test it on my 360, but I'm currently waiting for it to come back after the RROD. I was hoping to try it on the 360 before it comes out so I can see which controller I prefer for the game, but who knows if that'll happen.

The one thing I know now is that I can't wait for this game and it's definitely near the top when it comes to graphics for the new systems.

[wind_dragon]

It doesn't even say if the PS3 version had its highest settings on/utilized. This game looks just as gorgeous on PS3 at 720p w/ HDMI 1.3 out. On a 36"in. Vizio LCD television.

[Hagaf22]

all of these comparisons are lame. all that ever happens is some one takes the best pics on their console of choice then they get lame pics with low specs on the other console, post it to start a flame war, and just sit there and laugh, i have the demo on ps3 and have played it a few times, it doesn't look how those pics make it look, it looks way better, so for ps3 owners you should know how it looks, fighting these battles are pointless, 360 owners i dont care if you think you have a better version it doesnt bother me, and for dual system owners- its a demo for both download it and play them both see how you like them and which you prefer, these news articles are nothing but flamebait, and too many times we all fall for it. for those who cant get the demo for whatever reason, rest assure the ps3 version looks better than those pictures show.

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

l;ol. My PS3 grpahics and colours are better then that espcially colours

From IGN's head-to-head article:

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

Overall
So which version of Burnout Paradise deserves your hard earned money? While it's a close call, the PS3 one ultimately delivers an experience that's just a little sharper, faster, and with the extra control options of SixAxis, offers an experience that you won't quite match on 360. The 360 version is excellent in its own right and, if you're not a multi-console owner, you should have no problems getting the most out of the game. If you do have the luxury of choosing consoles, the PS3 has that little extra boost where it counts. Some people might prefer the slightly brighter coloration on the 360, but for most, the added environmental detail, ubiquitous lighting effects, and slightly higher frame rate on the PS3 deliver just a little better overall experience. While we've seen lots of third party games suffer when ported from 360 to PS3, Burnout Paradise is clear proof that, when designed from the ground-up for multi-core processing, the PS3 can definitely compete with any other console out there.

Overall 1. PS3
2. Xbox 360

So, PS3 wins

[stennexxx]

First thing DMC4 was made first on the PS3 then ported to the Xbox360.
Secondly i saw both versions they look the same when using components but PS3 version using HDMi is superior. Richer colors, better contrasts, more detail. PS3s version has motion blur in it which is kinda cool. Either way enjoy the game anyway you can.

[Dante43]

The person who made this news is clearly retarted, how can you compare 2 completely different pictures? TAKE 2 PICTURES IN SAME PLACE SAME MOMENT, so like that we can see what different

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

I am facking annoyed at all this flaming fanboys bullsh!t proganda on both sides fake comparisim random out of now where fake news even more fanboys on both sides flaming on something that does not matter. I am facking annoyed on this site its becoming a joke. While I admit I did not play X360 Version of Demo (Modded) I played the PS3 Version of Demo. I can say it looks way better espcailly the colouring. Even I take off screen photo it will look better.

Back on matter at hand. If you scroll above you can see bunch of bullsh!t. Its always the same people and I don't know how they got bubbles and some of them are still at 5 bubbles.

How about arguing you stick the damn console up your arse and shove the controller down your mouth maybe you shut up.

I loved DMC1 and 3 and I will buy DMC4 on PS3 due to I am very very familair with DMC4 controlls (Passed DMC3 on DMD all missions S and stuff).

I doubt any of you are actually buying this espically at trolls who know nothing about DMC telling boring and repeitive. Demo lacks a lot of combos moves weapons arms and everything.

[Equinoxe_7]

This is getting out of control, make the slightest difference and you set the world apart.

[moujahed]

When will the multi-plat comparisons end!?? It's funny how they never compare Gears of War PC Vs. 360 ...obviously PC being the better looking version there seems to be alot of PS3 hate from alot of 360 fans and vice-versa... just buy the game for your console, and STFU AND PLAY IT!!

[antoinetm]

i think i m going to sue capcom and SONY for that missing white pixel.

[LJWooly]

The thing is, about 90% of the comments here are most probably from people who only own one console, and will only be getting it for one anyway, no matter which one's better.

So, unless you own both consoles, and are trying to decide which version to get... STFU, and go play some damn games.

[Dragonopolis]

Probably and more and like DMC was made to look identical as close as possible. What would be interesting to find out is how much CPU is being utilized by DMC. Is it using 20% or 30% of the processor. Other factors also come in to play such as how efficient the code is on both system. Perhaps the Xbox 360's code is more efficient but using more processor resources. Perhaps the PS3 CPU is using 30% but the code is very optimized because the developers are still learning about the Cell.

Point taken is that a games abilities is NOT indicative of how powerful the system is but how well the programmers utilize the hardware given them.

I do not own a PS3 (but planning on it latter this year). The Xbox 360 is a decent Machine and is very capable but at last Microsoft cripple it with last gen video connects, storage capacity (including the hard drive which could have been upgradeable and standard across all skus as well as their decision to use the very old DVD9 standard).

Had Microsoft done the things that Sony had done hardware wise to fully take advantage of Xbox 360's amazing GPU/CPU combo and kept it at the $400 (yes microsoft you would have taken a hit a little longer but it would be worth it to gamers to invest in).........

You would not be in this position right now where you are not totally annihilating Sony but actually scrambling to keep up.

The Xbox's hardware is not weak by any means neither is the PS3 with and the Cell has an advantage over the CPU in the Xbox.

The Xbox's blunder is really a technical blunder at all but a Marketing blunder by Microsoft and their greedy philosophy. Sony makes money too but Sony seems to at least listen to developers and gamers when it comes to the hardware.

Sony's blunder was that they were not ready software wise and developers had to hard code games early on (and still do)

However it is much easier to overcome a software blunder (as well as cheaper) than a Hardware blunder thus Sony is at an advantage over Microsoft.

That said, I still enjoy gaming on my Xbox 360. I also am not a blind fanboy and am very aware and critical of the companies I purchase consoles from .........

some xbox fanboys may call me a sell out.... I don't care go on and live a blind life. Microsoft is in it for the Money and Microsoft has and is continuing its plan obsolescence campaign. The Xbox 360 has another good year of life left in it but it will start to dwindle in 2009. Don't worry the Next Xbox will be coming along in Christmas 2010 and yes it will blow the PS3 away but it will cost us. Don't rejoice yet because it is quite possible it won't be backwards compatible and remember that the PS3 will have been out for 4 years and Sony could easily drop the PS3 to $150 - $200 to counter act and even improve on a few specs at that price (more memory, thinner design, one of the skus has a recordable Blu-ray).....

Lots of things Sony can do to counter act a new Console by Microsoft. Microsoft needs to keep 100% backwards capability with the 360 if they want to succeed bring a New console so quickly into the game. I don't think we xbox fans can take another console drop like MS did with the original Xbox.

Again I not a fan boy of Sony and quite frankly I just as hard on Sony. So hard in fact that I have yet to buy a PS3. Its coming though ....
end of the year.

Just be happy that DMC is playable and enjoyable to watch on both systems.... but remember just because a developer didn't implement better "this" or "that" doesn't mean the console couldn't do it....

This goes for both Xbox 360 and the PS3...

[gnothe1]

if this was in the PS3's favor you guys would have been jumping up an down claiming the 360 got OWNED, an were starting to see the true power of the PS3. but since its not, you guys wanna write this off as fake. I guess theres no way the 360 can produce better graphics than the PS3 because K K said it couldnt. if this was the first time the 360 has out performed the PS3 then maybe ,but the 360 outperforms the PS3 almost all the time, but you guys act shocked when this happens AGAIN!! please stop being blind, an accept the fact that you fell for Sony's hype train like millions of others did!!

[Ashta]

I guess "It doesn't look that bad on my TV" doesn't cut it anymore?

Seriously, I've played the hell out of that demo and the PS3 version has high-res, motion blur, AA and everything. I use component cables and I gotta say....nothing has ever looked that faded, flat, low res, or washed out on my TV. Ever.

I mean...damn....I just dont get all these comparisons anymore. It's all like "OH SNAPZ!!! You see that pixel out of place! Thaz a JAGGIEH!!!! PS3 SUCKZORZ!"

or

"ZOMG!!! 360 can has lack of mothinz bluhrz?! 7GIGZ = TEH SUX"

Also, can someone please tell me why the 360 fans are so vitriolic to the Sony crowd? Seriously, did Sony like come and threaten to steal someones babies or something? Everyone is all like "teh sony liez" yet other than a few target renders that Sony tried to pass off in 05' I don't think they've ever treated me badly enough for me to go pitchforkin' after em.

As for Kutaragi's whole "4D" comment....really....WTF guys? Is that really an insult or something?

Also, if I hear one more RROD joke i think i'm going to scream. Seriously, it's getting absolutely ridiculous nowadays.

[dawg098]

For all you ps3 people, i took the comparison shot and circled all the things that look worse on the ps3 and look better on the 360.
