The Club: Xbox 360 Vs PlayStation 3

VideoGamer writes: "The Club surprised us all last week. We just weren't expecting its arcade-style gameplay to be so addictive. There's no question that you should buy the game, no matter which system you own, but what if you have the choice between the Xbox 360 version and PlayStation 3 version? We're going to compare the two games in four key areas: Graphics, Sound, Gameplay and Multiplayer. Read on for the definitive verdict on which is the best".

[spandexxking]

IMO the club actually has a really good idea behind it. a proper arcade shooter.
plus the "headshot" voice is intense

boring article though

[Joey Gladstone]

i think if they were trying so hard to give it an arcade style, then they should have made it for the arcades , not consoles........So in regards to which version (PS3 or 360) looks best I give it a solid MEH......

Edit @disagreeers: It's a joke, just like these 360 vs PS3 threads... come on...

[eLiNeS]

(__)Bubbles(__) Jason 360

The PofS3 can't handle the Xbox 360 and the power it brings.

Jump In or W A I T for better graphics B E Y O N D!

[lawman1108]

"the Xbox 360 game is victorious in the Graphics category. A smoother frame rate and a crisper image make it the version to own if you're after the best visual quality."

Ha-ha

[Kleptic]

some of you guys really should read through those articles he just posted...its pretty funny...and if you don't think you are in the middle of exactly that right now, you might want to find another hobby...

[iAmPS3]

Dumb ass developers are just too dumb to untap the PS3 power, look at Uncharted, R&C, R2, KZ2, MGS2 all games that are impossible on the 3FixMe. That's proof enough for me.

[ambientFLIER]

Impossible on the 360, LOL...I must have missed the article where the developers said that...

[Jinxstar]

Its like comparing Turds...

[lawman1108]

the Xbox 360 game is victorious in the Graphics category. A smoother frame rate and a crisper image make it the version to own if you're after the best visual quality.

Ha-ha power of the cell my A$$

[slpknt6sic6]

how many 360 games look better than killzone 2 or uncharted..... none so i hope you stfu before you get pwned. this game is crap by the way...

[LaChance]

ARENT PEOPLE SICK OF THESE STUFF
it was fun at the beggining but now its getting quite boring
it will be 99% the same game on both consoles

[Mr Marbles]

These comparisons are very valuable to folks who have both consoles and would like to know which version runs the best and which version to buy.

People like you would have no problem with these comparisons if they all came out in favor of the PS3, you would be posting them as news every single time one popped up, so just stop with the whining, we can all see clean through you guys. This is a valuable service that most gaming sites are afraid to provide.

[JVIDICAN]

you just attacked one of your fellow 360 fans XD

[Panthers]

Marbles, I would argree with you; however, nearly every single comparison is biased towards one side or the other.

[wil4hire]

- Whichever system the game was originally developed on will be the better version of the game.

- When both built from the ground up. You get a Multiplat like GOTY COD4. Perfect on both consoles.

Its like mind numbingly retarded to do this for every title that was lead on the PS3/360. It has NOTHING to do with the graphics capabilities of a system, or performance at all.

When you want to talk Graphics and power, look at PS3 exclusives. Uncharted is the best looking/performaing game out on consoles right now. Streaming loading, high res everything 720p, and list goes on.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

There only "pointless" because your on the wrong side of the fence and your grass just isn't as green :) "literally" look at the video again your "grass" realy just isn't as green XD

[moparful99]

Jason the only reason your disagreeing is because the 360 version got the nod in this comparisson. Just like when burnout was reviewed and the ps3 version was said to have "slightly better frame rates and graphical edge" everyone one said it was to minor to count. But as soon as a 360 game gets the same mark all of a sudden you and you 360 cohorts come on here and spout off at the mouth. Cross plat games are and will always be too close to call. Devs arent going to purposefully make either version superior as this will outrage either side and probably hurt sales. I.E. madden 08. This whole comparisson stuff is really not necessary.

[gambare]

but at least the games are having less and less differences in reference of the first ps3/360 titles, remember madden? well... it seems that the ps3 games are not longer suffering from the "worst port ever" syndrome

[radzy]

ps3 only has 256mb ram where as compared to 512mb ram for the 360 .
thanks to cliffy that double of gpu ram makes a difference in this generation . check out textures in any game, 360 wins.
its like compairing a 8800 gt 512ram to a 8600 gt 256ram.
whats funny is the sales of games on both consoles.
devil may cry 4 (a supposed playstation franshise) sold way more than on the xbox 360 than the ps3. sony had devil may cry 1, 2 and 3 on the ps3. xbox1 had none. devil may cry 4 gets released on both ps3 and xbox 360 simultaniously and the difference is :

xbox 360 : %61

ps3 and pc (pre-orders) : %39

ONE WORD : OWNED

[pswi60]

you are so wrong on almost every level.

the ps3 and 360 have the same amount of memory, the difference is the 360 has 512 unified (for cpu/gpu) and the ps3 is split (cell to xDR =256, rsx to gddr3 =256). both setups can produce the same level of graphics, it just depends on what system the devs used for lead development. you could say the 360 can use better textures for smaller, less cpu/physics intense games. but the more physics/cpu/ai the ps3 will be able to handle with the same level of detail.

and as for DMC4, it was only in the UK that 61% of sales were for 360. worldwide the sales are this:

360: 134,000
ps3: 294,000

these numbers do not include US sales, just Japan, Europe/others.

[avacadosnorkel]

Considering that Bizarre made the game, did anyone expect it perform better on the PS3. These are the same guys that made PGR for the 360

[InMyOpinion]

True. I wouldn't blame them. They have aldready made PGR3 & 4 for the 360, which has given them more time with that platform. The PS3 is harder to develop for, as proven in many multiplatform titles.

[ban fans]

Both systems are neck and neck right now; virtually identical. The only real thing I saw in this article is that 360 might have a slight advantage graphically which you wouldn't notice unless the two were running side by side. Who does that at home? The gameplay, well that sounds to me that this reviewer likes the 360 control pad better. That's fine, but it is also just his opinion. So, what is the point of these comparisons anymore?

Besides, who cares about this game anyway?

[Ju]

I liked the demo. They say its a tie. So what. Next after DMC4 is done. My personal opinion is, my demo does not look anywhere near that blurry video. Kinda strange.

[Alcohog]

I agree with all of you, this is pointless.

[DarkSniiper]

If the tables where turned you would feel differently.

[klashawnd]

@ 9.1

Spoken like a true fanboy.

This is pointless. Unless the differences are so significant (i.e. Madden) then this stuff is stupid.

[DarkSniiper]

I know it's a stretch put turn the tables.

[ban fans]

"If the tables were turned"?

What? The article basically says the two versions are about identical. If you turn the tables on two identical products, don't you end up with the same result? LOL

Agree with you klashawnd!

[Martini]

"Seeing as we are comparing the two though, the Xbox 360 game is victorious in the Graphics category. A smoother frame rate and a crisper image make it the version to own if you're after the best visual quality."

[cr33ping_death]

here we go.

[Bill Gates]

No contest. The PS3 version spanks the 3FixMe version, and the BABOONS know this...AHAHAHHAHAHHA

[DarkSniiper]

you're smoking crack!

W A I T for better graphics B E Y O N D! I like that bubbles elines

$nipe

[iAmPS3]

Well Bill, I wouldn't find better words, you don't know sh1t about making great consoles but you can recognize a true Power when you see one.

Bubble for you!!!

[Matsuiichi]

Y'see, this is why ports don't work. "Xbox 360's version is better. It pwns all."

Developers have proven that they can work wonders with the PS3 hardware. It's time that they grow up, stop complaining about the difficulties they have and just deal with them.
If the companies make the game better on one system than the other, they make copies of the game for the crappier version which aren't going to sell because the consumer would rather get the better version, and then they suffer for investing in it for that system. They hurt themselves for not putting in the time to understand the PS3 architecture, in this case.

They need to stop doing these crappy ports and build everything for each system from scratch. Or, at least, start on the harder system to program for and port to the easier system. DMC4 and Burnout did that, and with amazing results. Get to it. Then we don't have to see these stupid-ass console wars.

[iAmPS3]

PS3 will rule the worldwide market, devs that can't untap the PS3 power will make miserable games and will sell sh1t forcing them to grow, great devs will make millions and make ever more games for this powerhouse that the PS3 is.

[Agent VX]

Now, just waiting for the usual "lazy devs" excuse to fly around!!!

[paul_war]

Its like they are going out of their way looking for issues.

Basicly its like this:

- 360 has ever so slightly better frame rate, at times. (They kept stressing any differences were minor)
- They like the 360 controller

Thats IT, in every other department they ranked it equal!

[CPTN MITCHELL]

25 to life next gen

[altimako02]

is because stupid people want to feel superior,and to justify their crazy allegiance for a piece of hardware

[OC Shock Value]

Please no more of the lame multiplat stuff.. These games can both cuddle up and suck together

[Antan]

Well i think this is a good result for PS3 fans really. BC have much more experience on the 360 than PS3 of course, so to get "close" to the 360 in their 1st attempt deserves a wee pat on the back i think.

[Vanqu1sh]

i dont understand why 360 version looks better when ps3 has CELL and BLU RAY

[Guitarded]

The PS3 was supposed to blow away the 360 from day one of release according to Sony representatives. Just like the Xbox did last gen with all 3rd party games being equal or better than their PS2 counterparts, and Halo looking better than anything on PS2. 14 months into this gen and multiplats are still... well you know. Could Uncharted be the best looking game to date? Debatable. Could it take 7 years to get an outstanding looking PS3 game like God of war for PS2? Not likely, but possible. A reason to wait to buy a PS3? Yes.

[BWS1982]

it's virtually the same game on both as everyone does, but the simple matter of principal of it being inferior to any degree still bothers me in a pety way, even though it shouldn't. Only because there's no excuse. We keep seeing this "PS3 version has visual issues with its...." and it's obnoxious, as we know they should be identical a la COD4. I'm however, interested in this game unlike it seems with most of you guys, I love shooters.

[AceLuby]

Are the same for the DC vs PS2.

Halo looking better than anything on PS2? Laughable. One title comes to mind and that's God of War. I loved my original xbox and like some of the games to come out on the 360, but your arguments have been heard before, most last gen.

[avacadosnorkel]

Sony never said from day one. Launch games have looked better than xbox 360 launch games which were PS2 games in HD. From day one the hardware blew the 360 away and still does, always will. Games like DIRT, Oblivion, Fight Night, and such are better running and look better on the PS3. And there's lots of room for improvement on the PS3 as devs run more and more code through the SPUs. The 360 is at its peak, and I'm not even using the disc space as an argument.

[heyheyhey]

"oh wow look the other version has 0.0000000000001 more frames per second- i give this version an extra point"

seriously its same game no matter what platform it's on (apart from PC obviously- it pwns all console versions)

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

LOL

[avacadosnorkel]

I think the PS3 version might sell better than the 360 version.

[TruthBTold]

got bored real quick, really not my type of game. Did anyone really think this was a great demo and thinks about getting it. I just didnt see anything interesting with it. But than again my tastes arent universal. Just look at Turok, its selling quite well and I also didnt like the demo at all.

[Ju]

I liked the demo. I wouldn't have considered the game without it. OTHO, I didn't like the Turok demo (just not my game), so that's off my radar (even though I think the visuals are not bad there, either). So, yeah, well, I might well buy it.

[stennexxx]

Running and shooting. Please same old shoot em up. PS3 has more quality first part titles to play with no need to worry about third party stuff. Maybe GTIV. The Club is just another game to rent.

[Robearboy]

the comparison posts and generally never comment but my god am i surprised, i was expecting the usual "crap game anyway bull turd", well done people

[moparful99]

wrong post

[skitzoid]

I almost fell off of my chair when I read his opinion of Forza 2 saying it had brilliant visuals. Anyone that has played Forza 2 knows it's graphics leave a lot to be desired. It's the gameplay that makes it so good.

Every time I see any comparison about sound between the 2 consoles it's always the same. They are either even or the 360 gets the nod because of using your own sound tracks. Anyone that owns both systems and a decent 5.1 (or higher) sound system knows this is one area the PS3 out shines the 360 99% of the time. It has True Dolby Digital audio and the clarity is unrivaled in gaming.

[ASSKICKING4U]

Its Funny how most of you who leave comments are PS3 fanboys seems like you guys spend more time here defending the console than playing on it, and I think this info. is good for people who has both systems because it will help you enjoy the game to the fullest, and this goes to every multiplatform game which in most cases the Xbox360 beats the PS3.

[moparful99]

Its funny you say this when you have posted several times on this post alone.... Its reviews like this that are useless when you have to dig for anything to tell the two apart. His "opinion" of controls are just that, alot of people love the sensitivity of the ps3 controller others love the layout of the 360 so if there is no major flaw in controls on either then you cant give the edge based on opinion. Just like burnout paradise they were so close even though the ps3 had a slight edge its not enough to warrant an in depth review.

[kalistyles]

Nothing. Game looks the same.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

The only thing that has been bad for the 360 at all was the RROD problem. The 360 continues to kick some serious graphic a$$ for a two year old console. We have all had to defend our platform of choice at one time or another but this is one area that the 360 has continues to shine. Massive library of high quality games, fantastic online service that delivers all forms of HD entertainment, and a "proven" time and time again graphical powerhouse of HD gaming. To top it all off we have a great "growing" 08 lineup and should expect the 360 to still outshine with the multiplatform games. :)

This is a good fun fast paced arcade style game that all gamers should enjoy, PS3 fans and 360 fans alike. Dont let this compairison get in the way of some gaming fun, get out there and buy some freaking games and have fun :) If the graphics get you down just remember what you tell us all on a daily bases, that if you all just "wait" you will be happy. Just remember it's the gameplay that counts, not just graphics. (like you have a choice XD)

[moparful99]

You are the one person that I have the biggest problem with on this entire site. Your constant and biased opinioning becomes more unreasonable on a daily basis. You attack people and their opinions and as soon as some one disagrees you throw the "fanboy" label out their..... Now onto why your statement is flawed... You say the only problem the 360 has is the RRoD and you write it off like a minor problem. Arent 360 fans the same people that still burn the ps2 for the disc read problems that were no where near the 33% that the RRoD is? Add to this the disk read error, over heating, disk scratching, and XBL errors that have become an issue and your top notch console is starting to look outta breath. I think sales are starting to reflect this as well. Now on to graphics, yea the 360 has good graphics and in some cross plat games it has the advantage. But for first year games on the ps3 outpacing the 360 its a sign of things to come. Uncharted is absolutely gorgeous and yet again just a first year game, naughty dog themselves said they love the cell architecture and have only pushed the cell to 30% capacity. With sony having the best, no arguing to it, lineup for 08 the 360 will continue to see itself outsold the entire year.

[sak500]

Petition time. So bizzare is now off the list for ps3 fandroids. Whats left 1st party devs? I guess sony should do what Nintendo is doing and just keep chucking out endless GTs, FFs, KZs, Resistances etc for ps3 owners.

[iAmPS3]

Better to have a FF XXXIV then halo 4, that's for sure.

[felidae]

The Club is mega boring, sorry!

[sak500]

Same story different game.

[xg-ei8ht]

Dreamcast
Cinematics play at 30 fps
Fewer colors result in banding
Higher screen resolution (more pixels)
Tight and intuitive controls
Appropriate lighting and color balance
Less detailed textures

Cinematics play at 60 fps
Greater color depth
Lower screen resolution (less pixels)
Sloppy and inconsistent controls
Poor anti-aliasing
Poorly used lighting effects
Lower contrast, resulting in washed out graphics
Higher level of detail in rendered images
Crisper audio on the high frequency end (reportedly)

Explain to me, how you can have better colour balance, yet have fewer colours and banding in the same game.

That bloke was i'm afraid a crack head.

[xg-ei8ht]

I didn't know the 360 did hd gaming. What game was that?

Letters on a postcard to:

RROD Main office(roughly 50miles wide)Those 360's take up space u know
Bill Gates A$$
Land of Dreams

Or you can E-mail to:

Itriedtobuyoutyahoobutfailed. com

[TheMART]

And still:

"Seeing as we are comparing the two though, the Xbox 360 game is victorious in the Graphics category. A smoother frame rate and a crisper image make it the version to own if you're after the best visual quality."

[Pain]

PS3 will always be less.

Just like buying a Ferrari to drive to the Mc'Donnalds.

[Graphics by ATi]

I played the demo and I notice ZERO framerate drops.

I have played it through several different ways and never noticed one frame drop.

And I'm REALLY picky about stuff like that and I can pick up on the slightest amount of anything.

This comparison is bullshit.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

That tells me alot about you.

And I can tell you like whine.

[Ju]

^^What ? I can just agree with 1701D. Couldn't see any frame drops in the demo either. But then, its a demo which runs off the HD (not that I have experienced something like that in any other demo/retail version - usually plays the same).

[CallOfWar22]

Mgs4 needs to b on the 360. 60 percent of dmc4. Were on 360

[lildave0500]

heck no the ps3 has way better graphics then the xbo360 and MGS game all ways used the Play Station

[CallOfWar22]

as ps2 n wii proved graphics aren't everything. Microsoft did lots of things rite. Sony dissed achievements n now their coming out with trophies. Xbox caused ps3 to lose billions by dropping their price sooner than they liked to have. Gears is better than n e franchise on ps3 imo. Gears 2 will get 360 on track.

[moparful99]

You know whats funny about your comment? Sony just released their annual earnings report, they are in the black to the tune of 125 million. Microsoft didnt force them to do anything, sony is known for slashing production cost and in turn reducing the price of their systems. Microsoft did alot of things wrong, first they knowingly released a faulty product, didnt include the hd-dvd drive, then decided to charge for online play, denied red rings and blamed customers, allowed live to crash even though they are reaping huge profit from it and this list goes on... As far as gears goes your right it is your opinion but thats all it is.

[HarryEtTubMan]

PS3> XBomb 3JUNKY

[thekingofMA]

the 360 version is always superior...always...

but this game looks great regardless-a definite buy-ha already pre-ordered it just remembered
