Baja: Edge of Control PS3/360 Comparison

Which one tears up the track, and which one just tears?

[InMyOpinion]

Looking forward to seeing many "This game is crap anyways" and "lazy developers" comments.

Game looks interesting. It got a decent score from Gamespy, but I'll wait for IGN's and GameInformer's reviews.

[Rick Astley]

Well they look at the same. And by the "same" I mean like crap.

Seriously this game looks awful and it IS crap. Just look at reviews so far. Gamepro just gave it 2.5/5 LMAO!

When you have no exclusives, stand behind multi-platform games.

[InMyOpinion]

It takes no genius to see that the 360 version runs at a much smoother framerate and overall looks better. Deny it all you want.

[CViper]

Why does it matter to you?

[InMyOpinion]

I think it's interesting since the PS3 is supposed to be the more powerful console of the two.

Why does it matter to you what I think?

[CViper]

I love picking you apart because its so simple.

Now if you truly believe the bs you just said about "Buh buh the cell.. why no supah for multiplhat" then you are a lost cause dude. but at least you KNOW you are pathetic.

Serious question here:

Jenzo, do you believe that multiplatform game development utilizes 100% of Platforms?

1.Yes
2.No

What is your answer? Answer it if you have some balls. No one into gaming believes that to be true, so why are you so stuck on it? Some games lead with the 360, some teams lead with the ps3. Some teams code better for the 360, others don't. So if all you have to feel good about yourself is the constant back and forth between which versions of MULTIPLATFORM games has .5 frames faster, you aren't doing much actual gaming this gen. Its so hilariously obvious that you are a troll and try to bring up the Cell for a damned BAjA racing game. lol. I didn't buy my game systems for multiplatforms.

Jenzo, Answer the question.

[Rick Astley]

"I think it's interesting since the PS3 is supposed to be the more powerful console of the two."

And it shows with games like MGS4, Uncharted, Heavy Rain, WipEout HD, Gran Turismo 5, Ratchet & Clank Future: TOD, MotorStorm 2, Killzone 2, etc.

Just because a multi-platform game looks better on 360 doesn't mean the 360 is more powerful. Use your brain for once and think.

[meepmoopmeep]

it's console exclusives that take advantage of hardware

the PS3 version looks better because i only own a PS3 and that means i'm right.
i don't even have to watch videos.

:)

[CViper]

So because Burnout ran better on the ps3 that means the PS3 > 360.

[in his world of "logic"]

He doesn't seem to grasp that exclusives use 100% of the console to the teams ability.

and for that, the PS3 stands unopposed. Motorstorm2 craps all over this one as far as visuals and dynamics go. Didn't wanna take it there.

So Jenzo, you going to hide now?

[poopsack]

"It takes no genius to see that the 360 version runs at a much smoother framerate and overall looks better."
no genius DID see it!

[iHEARTboobs]

You really did pick him apart. haha but if he answers watch him try to work his way around the question.

[InMyOpinion]

lol! Getting a little rabid, are we? =) You act like we were in court and your precious PS3 was on trial.

I don't think multiplatform development utilizes 100% of any platforms involved. It would be impossible since it's not measurable. Advancements in programming mean just as much for graphics as the hardware that renders it.

"I act like you are a moron that pretends you don't understand what you just admitted."

Ie, the 360 must be more developer friendly and easier to get results out of than the PS3 since most multiplatform games look better on it. Multiplatform games are the best way to measure the graphical power of each console since the developers strive to get the same results on both machines. We don't know what exclusives would look like on either console. Who knows what Gears would have looked like on the PS3, or Uncharted on the 360? I bet you do, but most of us don't.

Why are you so eager to make me admit things if you are certain that the PS3 is more powerful than the 360? =)

[Egzekutor]

Jenzo or Janzo whatever ur name is.. you dont read everything on the net do you ?

Give 2-3 years for the PS3 before you see some real games.. actually no.. wait until 09 to Killzone 2 , Heavy Rain and MAG.

[IzKyD1331]

Congratulations jenzo, now are you ever gonna play baja edge of control? no
and motorstorm makes this look like an N64 game.....enjoy baja!

[Why o why]

why you punch him in the nose like that. Why'd you pack his fudge like that.

The question was simple Jenzo, will you answer it or will you dodge like a member of congress

[CrazzyMan]

Have you ever heard a word OPTIMIZATION, or LACK of OPTIMIZATION?

Do you really believe, that PS3 weaker in terms of graphcis, then x360, just because some game wasn`t OPTIMIZED properly for PS3 hardware?

PS3 has different architecture from pc/x360. And if it`s not OPTIMIZED, it`s like running Powerfull CPU in PC for rendering shader operations for games instead of using Graphic Cards, you will have a bad framerate.

[UNCyrus]

Jenzo is ignored by almost 100 users.... Your naivety and adolescent comments only promote your own fanboy agenda... you make me sick

[jwatt]

Wow if you have a ps3 why would you buy this over Motorstorm 1 or 2?

[juuken]

Poor Jenzo.
Guys, leave him alone man. I just heard a sniffle there. ;__;

[robep3]

WELL lets see the developers of this have had all the benefits of the 360's head start on PS3 whats that about 12 months+ depending on area you live and they have come up with a game that doesn't look as good as Motorstorm 1 nevermind 2 yes the 360 is more powerful you say LOL.
If you think that then this game should look as goos as MS2 PR SINCE THE 36O IS SO EASY TO PROGRAM and SO POWERFUL but doesn't would have been good if a launch title on either system but this far down the line it looks average!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rob

[JokesOnYou]

Now sure most hardcore gamers care most about the defining console exclusives but myself and many other "regular" gamers buy multiplatform games in between the release of those exclusives. (No I'm not buying this game)

ha ha I don't think anyone in their right mind would use this game as the basis for what either console is capable of.....BUT, like it or not somewhere mixed in with Jenzo's obvious dig at ps3 is a valid point:

"360 must be more developer friendly and easier to get results out of than the PS3 since most multiplatform games look better on it."

yeah, yeah say whatever you want about ps3 being more powerful but at the end of the day unless a dev is willing to spend more time and money on ps3 then it seems the 360 has the upper hand, also 360 has better exclusive games now and coming in the near future imo, so I just don't get it when ps3 fans swear the ps3 is so much better(well I do get it, n4g is filled with pro sony folks)...I don't know but it seems ps3 folks are always talking about this theoretical potential of the ps3, and yes MGS4 is a great example but I still see games like Bioshock, Gears, Halo3, (Mass Effect minus the few framerate problems ha ha) and think "so what"....lmfao, to each his own I guess???

JOY

[Why o why]

well said, fair enough there is some truth in what Jenzo has said but whats his point, really? Devs didnt take the time because they didnt wnt to or they just cant get it to run the same. What was the lead on this game. How many games that were lead on the ps3 are better on the 360. See my point. PS3 guys will probably see M2 push the hardware more than any multiplat, thats a fact so screaming about framrate/tearing/whatever issues on a multiplat makes people look silly when you consider some of the exclusives on that console have issues like the one you mentioned.

Ill give it to you though JokesOnYou . Your comments have carried far more substance than flame of late.........dont tell me......pm me your psn name *wink wink*

[thebudgetgamer]

we should all burn our playsations this game is so great i cant play without wishing i had a 360
cheers jenzo

[Homicide]

Does anyone even care? This is the first I've heard of this game.

[Omniphobe]

^^^^^^^^^^^

Largest concentration of hypocritical fanboys on the site probably, holy balls. Honestly we all know the PS3 is capable of amazing sh!t but right now it's all talk no substance, come maybe the next two years and we'll have some substance. Depressing really how many people say that 360 fanboys outnumber Sony fanboys and how many of them say that they started it first. Bullsh!t all of it, and it's a pretty good laugh watching most of you go at it. Go ahead, disagree and prove my point. Jenzo probably started it first but theres times Sony starts first.

[theEnemy]

This game is crap anyways.

Lazy developers.

[edhe]

Good god, i love how the SDF jump onto people.

"It IS more powerful, if you spend 4 years working on it and it's exclusive so you can't compare it directly to anything else!"

"The 360 runs multiplatforms faster 'cos they suck, they're not exclusives! Only exclusives matter!"

Dear god.

Face it, the 360 runs games better. 360 lead games perform significantly better on the 360 than the ps3, ps3 lead games perform similarly.

The cell, blu-ray, it's all hype and misrepresentation. Anyone that bought into Sony's PR should've been parted with their hard earned cash for a product that's nothing what it was meant to be.

Now, Baja?.. skip.

[Nineball2112]

And you are full of it...

1. "Face it, the 360 runs games better."
Total fanboi statement, speaks for itself.

2. "360 lead games perform significantly better on the 360 than the ps3, ps3 lead games perform similarly."
Although, you try to be fair, you're still wrong since I wouldn't say EITHER perform SIGNIFICANTLY better. Slightly better... miniscule differences? Sure...

"The cell, blu-ray, it's all hype and misrepresentation."
See reply to #1 above.

"Anyone that bought into Sony's PR should've been parted with their hard earned cash for a product that's nothing what it was meant to be."
AND we have a winner for the most ironic statement today. Only a dyed-in-the-wool fanboi couldn't see that if you replace the word "Sony" with "Microsoft" that it's much more appropriate!

[edhe]

Sorry what?

Produce something that proves otherwise.

For me there's plenty of comparison videos, hell GTA4 ran 25% less performant on the 'more powerful' console. Lower resolution & framerate.

Dude, what's your reply to that?

We could go count the eurogamer comparisons if you want, or wait are they all tainted? All lies?

There's no valid defence in the ps3 camp to say that it's 'more powerful' for gaming.

[Nineball2112]

"@ 1.29
Sorry what?

Dude, what's your reply to that?"

LMAO! Here's my reply to that, "Dude"...

Sam Houser (who is... you know... just one of the Rockstar Game founders) said in an interview on 1UP that he thinks the game looks better on the.... wait for it.... PS3!

http://www.1up.com/do/featu...

And I quote... "We're at a point now where the games pretty much look identical side by side. There's a slight difference in the way they look. I think that's to do with really low-level technical stuff that I'm not the guy to explain. The 360 games have a certain look to them; PS3 games have a certain look to them. I like the way [the PS3] renders. There's a certain kind of softness without being blurry -- some warmth to it -- and then there's a certain more clinical element to how the 360 looks."

So, now that I have "Produce(d) something that proves otherwise" (in YOUR words) SPECIFICALLY about the game you mentioned.

Now, try not to be such a Xbox fanboy in the future, eh?

[edhe]

That's not evidence, that's someone's opinion. Doesn't matter how 'important' he is it's a personal opinion when i asked you for evidence of the ps3 being 'more powerful'.

Failtastic.

*this* is evidence:

(since eurogamer's down thanks to the LBP invites...:

http://216.239.59.104/searc...

Test One: Game Intro
360: 31.627fps
PS3: 26.504fps
See it on EGTV.

Test Two: Clean Getaway
360: 28.624fps
PS3: 23.989fps
See it on EGTV.

Test Three: Final Destination
360: 35.662fps
PS3: 29.523fps
See it on EGTV.

Test Four: Station Face-Off
360: 26.015fps
PS3: 25.803fps
See it on EGTV.

Test Five: Rigged to Blow
360: 26.507fps
PS3: 23.781fps
See it on EGTV.

Test Six: Ivan the Not So Terrible
360: 33.713fps
PS3: 28.313fps
See it on EGTV.

that's what 1/6th of a difference? 16% performance drop? And that's just framerate.
You take into account the drop in resolution:
( http://216.239.59.104/searc... )
630/720 = 0.875, leaving a 12.5% performance reduction.

Add that together in an arbitrary fashion and you find the defining metacritic topping Multiplatform game of this generation so far is running at approximately 25% faster on the 'old gen' 360 compared to the 'all powerful' ps3.

Ergo you're talking mince and anyone that implies that the ps3 is the more powerful games console is talking absolute mince.

Also - add that the 360 effortlessly upscales to 1080p output and well.. yeah. Mince.

Here's hoping that the ps3 and 360 keep battling this generation, only we benefit.

NB i don't think we've seen a 360-exclusive, 360-designed engine title designed to push boundaries, unlike the ps3. Gears doesn't count, since it's UE3, and not even Halo, since it was still the old engine cranked up.

People say that there's so much potential in the ps3, well if we see it then that's great. But there's a whole chunk in the 360 that's untapped too.

[Nineball2112]

Haha! Failtastic can only be used to describe someone (such as yourself) who contorts the idea that because of one game having (at most) 6 frames per second better performance that his system that he sleeps with at night is "more powerful".

Wow... just wow. I'm not sure I've seen a more sad attempt at self-assurance.

And if you actually READ my first post, I never said EITHER one was more powerful... But, hey... if 6 frames per second is the make or break for you on GTA IV, then... wow. I stand corrected. You have the UBER system for gaming and I concede your point.

Man... I could have had 6 more frames per second!! What was I thinking... regrets are terrible things to deal with, eh?

LOL!!!!

[edhe]

Never study maths?

It doesn't comfort me at all, i find it curiously ironic that you completely deny the facts yet continue to preach on as if you're right and i'm wrong. It's pretty obvious that the ps3 is not what it's been marketed as, and never has been.

Except, maybe, a good blu-ray player whereas the 360 has always been a games machine + more, and has only improved on it's offerings, and delivered on it's promises.

Bar the tlod mind.

So my point was proven yet you're still spouting mince?

Arf i shouldn't bother, facts and reality don't apply here.

[Nineball2112]

Study maths? You ever study English?

Do you even read what you spout off about? Show me anywhere in my posts where I have “denied” facts. You can’t and you know it.

The PS3 is more of an entertainment system (and yes, that includes GAMING) than the X360 is. That’s a solid FACT, not hyperbole.

Please, oh please enlighten me with this “+ more” that you tacked onto the end of “the 360 has always been a games machine + more”.

I’m really curious. More what? More frustrating from having to send it off if it RRODs? More expensive with any of the extras you have to buy for it to equal a similar PS3? More out of date with it’s DVD-9 tech?

You haven’t proven anything, other than “Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day; wisdom consists of not exceeding that limit”. Well, you’re over your quota for the next month.

[chaosatom]

never even heard of this game.

[meepmoopmeep]

me neither.

[IzKyD1331]

jenzo has

[meepmoopmeep]

lmao + bubble for that laugh

[rhood022]

Wasn't this the game that was supposed to be "better looking" than Motorstorm according to some previews?

[IzKyD1331]

check out these awesome graphics:
http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/...

/sarcasm

[Dmitry Orlov]

I've never heard of this game either.

@waiting for motorstorm next month
Next month 360 owners will be busy with Fable 2 and GoW 2 (well 1 month + 1 or 2 weeks). I'll be buying motorstorm 2 over this, but it really looks better on 360.

[chasegamez]

ok hum why put out crap when motor storm
is right around the corner
Baja is trash

[power of Green]

Dam #1 here is an example.

[InMyOpinion]

Definately not the last one.

[CrazzyMan]

=)))

[DavidMacDougall]

PS3 Version always wins because its on better hardware

[InMyOpinion]

The video says otherwise...

[Freezingduck]

.

[DavidMacDougall]

No boy they look the same and the video dont take that smell of fire into account

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi]

...the xBot Lemmings Still can't find a game that looks better than -
GT5:Prologue
+
MotorStorm
on their xBox 360!!! ;-D

TRULY SAD that is!!! ;-D
(Well FUNNY!!!) ;)

[Snake Raiser]

Darn... I could swear that I have seen 3 side-by-sides from GT (They also gave MGS4 a 9.3/10) that have had the PS3 set to Grey Scale graphics. I have no Idea why Sony put in controls to make the graphics bad and gray scale and 480p, but they did. You can reset a PS3 to make the Graphics all gray.

Also why would the game look like this on PS3? Think about it people, I have a good point here I think. Motorstorm looks better than either of these. Why would it look worse 2 years later?

[InMyOpinion]

From IGN's review of Armored Core: For Answer

"But as much as I love the Armored Core experience, it has its fair share of problems. Primary among them is a PS3-specific issue. The framerate on the PS3 version is downright awful during sequences of intense action, though luckily normal battles usually go by without a problem. I just couldn't seem to get the 360 version to slow down, even after launching hundreds of missiles and flying through a collapsing building. I was hoping that the optional PS3 HDD install would help a bit, but that's not really the case. Load times aren't even noticeably alleviated, which is a shame."

http://xbox360.ign.com/arti...

[Stryfeno2]

You know the 360 is the better version when these droids start to mention Motorstorm.

But, but, but Motorstorm is better...better I said.

[Makidian]

First off that review you pulled is garbage, I played the Japanese demo back like six months ago and had zero problems with the framerate. The game is great and the battles are pretty epic, but I had no problems with stuttering or slowdown, not once. Second, not that many people care about AC and this is about Baja which I doubt that many people actually care about either. They always gimp the PS3 in the videos and everyone knows it by now so there is no point having a d!ck measuring contest on a game like this, it's a waste of time.

[InMyOpinion]

Is that so? IGN gave AC: For Answer 8/10, a very high score coming from them. Suddenly no one cares about it? ;) You sure you didn't play the 360 version? Maybe you got an extra special version developed solely for you? I think I trust IGN more than some deluded 4-D goggle wearing fanboy like yourself.

"The framerate on the PS3 version is downright awful during sequences of intense action, though luckily normal battles usually go by without a problem. I just couldn't seem to get the 360 version to slow down, even after launching hundreds of missiles and flying through a collapsing building. I was hoping that the optional PS3 HDD install would help a bit, but that's not really the case. Load times aren't even noticeably alleviated, which is a shame."

Downright awful. And to top it all, the optional install does nothing for the slow Blu-ay load times lol!

Can't wait to play the superior 360 version.

[jcfilth]

thanx but no, I'll stick to Motorstorm.

Both look the same, in some parts the 360 has more color and in others the PS3.

[BIoodmask]

on the 360 version looks a lot smoother.

@below...It has more to do with having eyes that function correctly.

[Rick Astley]

Says the 360 fanboy. Both versions look like PS2 games.

[CViper]

I wouldn't be shocked to know that you are starring at a wall instead of looking at the monitor.

[Ju]

But I agree. To make all 360 fanboys happy, I think it looks smoother on the 360. And ? Do I care? I will rent it. Possibly. The PS3 version that is. It still looks like "Dirt" in Buggies for me. Leaves me a bit disappointed TBH.

[solidjun5]

odd, usually that's a weak spot for you. That and logic.

[Idonthatejustcreate]

Did you also notice that on the PS3 version they had like 9 other cars on screen at the same time and on the 360 version they had like tops 3?

Alot of things happening on screen = less framerate, it's common sense.

The 360 has a better port of this game no doubt, but the comparison was far from fairly made.

[Blademask]

Bloodmask on HDD technology and why PC games will be multiple DVD's like on the 360

http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-...

lol.

You still think thats true BLOODMASK???

[SlyGuy]

Normally I never comment on the 360/ps3 comparison videos,

but this one is a joke.

I agree with you 'Idonthatejustcreate'. PS3 running with 10 cars on screen....then on 360 the car cruises down an empty road!! LOL.

that was funny

The looks as boring as the background music anyway.

[Raoh]

LOL they still doing these stupid comparison videos? even after being exposed for not doing proper comparisons?

it doesnt take a genius to tell you what system its going to sell better on.. ps3 owners are waiting for motorstorm 2 not baja or pure

[Firstkn1ghT]

Another day, another multiplatform game better on the 360.

[ToastyMcNibbles]

lmao enjoy the "slightly better looking multiplatform game"
hey guys whos up for motorstorm next month?

[iHEARTboobs]

I'm with you Toastman! The 360 only owners can have their broke man's Motorstorm!

[ICUP]

You know the 360 fan are desperate for games when they're hyping a multiplatform game, while PS3 fan get to play true exclusive MotorStorm: Pacific Rift 2 baby.

[CViper]

Im with u guys, cant wait for Motorstorm2:)

I'll rent this maybe.. but man

nothing beats being able to play all games this gen.

[ToastyMcNibbles]

@iheartboobs ohhh its onnnn prepare to get wrecked haha

[badz149]

I'm all for motorstorm! this game will sell a lot better on 360 and fanboys will spit out "360 sells more games" comment! I thought the preview built of this game was trash graphic wise but as it was only preview built, so any unpolished part is forgivable! but after watching this clip, yeah...it's TRASH! just another Motorstorm wannabe but failed miserably!

[juuken]

I'm with ya Toastman! :D
I'll take all of ya down! >:P

[Firstkn1ghT]

Motorstorm 2 looks like a a fun game. I was a fan of the original. But Pure beats it in every way. Anybody that wants to get dusted on Pure let me know.

[remanutd55]

guys we should organize a motorstorm pr online tournament from n4g.com to see whos the king of BRUTAL off road racing in this website

[Shaka2K6]

.

[Rapture333]

You don't need that much processing power for to generate decent physics you know? Depends on the engine and the game. Both look the same to me, and I bet when I get my copy and turn Full RGB or whatever on and turn on superwhite, she'll look gorgous. P.S. They both look the same.

[Counter_ACT]

Never even heard of this game before today.

[spectyre]

How many of you posters are going to buy the game?

[solidjun5]

be first on line at the midnight launch to get this game.

[badz149]

for Motorstorm fans (I'm included), NONE will waste money on this!

[heyheyhey]

meh, why should anyone buy this instead of Motorstorm: PR or even Pure is beyond me...........

i think the 360 version looked slightly better, but who cares- you have to play them side-by-side to notice a difference

[iHEARTboobs]

You'd be surprised by how many people just can't wait for things.

[Silogon]

1- the ps3 is darker in game
2- the ps3 version wasn't even running the same track as the xbox 360 version on many of the shots.
3- The xbox 360's frame rate appeared better caus there was no one else on the screen but a couple times.
4-the person playing the ps3 version was deliberately sucking on purpose, as if to make the version look even worse.

verdict = Gametrailers, as always, showing their bias.

[The gaming GOD]

ESPECIALLY with your 3 and 4 points

It was like they were purposely trying to make the ps3 version crap.

Also, do they still keep the RGB settings low on the ps3 like they normally do for their comparisons?

But then again, Gametrailers is a MS sponsored site so they'll do all they can to make the ps3 look bad

[steck67]

Wow, another off-road racing game? Baja? to be totally honest, this is my first time hearing this game. Anyways, I have to admit that the 360 version looks slightly better than the PS3 version. Although like what Silogon said, the guy on the PS3 sucked horribly and played differnt tracks with more people and that would may have caused the fram-rate on the 360 to run smoother, and also GameTrailers has a tendency to be a little bias when it comes to video comparison.

[ICUP]

You know the 3FMIXME have no game when the xbots are hyping a multi game.

[Shaka2K6]

the xbug 3rd60 will never get a exclusive racing game that can achive 1080p@60-fps with 16 cars on screen just like GT5P only on Sony PS3.

shame xbugs you are stuck playing last gen. games on a last gen. console Hahahahahahahahaha!

[iHEARTboobs]

They both look pretty bad so everyone's arguing over which one's worse? haha

All i have to say is Motorstorm 2!

[steck67]

Hell yea, Motorstorm all the way. This is trash compared to Motorstorm.

[Karum]

"How many of you posters are going to buy the game?"

I doubt very many of them tbh.

I have heard of this game but thats it and to be perfectly honest have paid absolutely no attention to it whatsoever. I entertained the Pure demo and thought it pretty fun but I did that one day while bored.

Only racing games on my radar are Wipeout HD (roll on this coming Thursday!!) and Motorstorm 2. I'd imagine the majority of PS3 owners into racing games are the same. There's a lot of games coming out this time of year so money is being spent wisely and my money is being reserved for the best available for my chosen console. Baja doesn't fir that bill, neither does Pure even if I did have a fair bit of fun with the demo.

Both MS2 and Wipeout will have trophy support along with custom soundtracks etc. which are just other reasons no PS3 owning racing fan will wnt or care about Baja or Pure.

[remanutd55]

those are the only two racing games im getting this year , wipeout hd this thursday and motorstorm2(pre ordered it already) , hopefully PD release GT5 next year

[spectyre]

in an episode of Quore. Even if Pacific Rift and Wipeout were a year or two from release, I wouldn't be interested in this game. One of the game modes was a 4 hour race... you could set it on auto pilot if you have to take a leak or make a sandwich. I just can't see this type of gameplay appealing to many people.

[xg-ei8ht]

They don't even show the same footage,lol.

Are gametrailers still using a 1940's tv?

Either way looks shi^e on both versions.

Ps3 version does look worse, but then again i'm not suprised.

Some devs just don't seem to be able to use spu's.

Oh well.

MS2 FTW,

But take a look at Pure on both Platforms, it's exactly the same.

[poopsack]

wonder why a demo never came out.

[Jamegohanssj5]

People actually care about this?

TGSI

[Idonthatejustcreate]

Are they serious?? Did they actually believe that no one would understand that they completely rigged that ending? It's not even the same map at the end and it probably isn't on the same map half the vid either. It's an similar looking hill but look at how the turn goes to the right on the ps3 version and to the left on the 360. The 360 has deeper colors imo but that right there was not even on the same map.

GT is totaly rigged imo and also desperate to sink the ps3 before the holiday comes. Not even going to waste anymore effort in to proving this. F*ck GT!

[Fishy Fingers]

PS3 running at 20fps or something? Looks really choppy. Pretty rubbish though, Pure or Motorstorm 2 look much better overall than this.

[UNCyrus]

hahha, fishy's working with a new avatar. I like it. But on topic... This game is terrible, it would be lucky if people bought it from the discount rack at launch. With so many vastly superior racing games coming out along side it at release, it makes you wonder how this game every got green-lit.

[TL24]

I've never even heard of this game? When did it come out and who made it? Either way not that big of a difference between the two versions..... The real comparison is done on exclusive games playa's!

[Aclay]

Looking at game comparisons between 3rd party multiplatform games on the Xbox 360 and PS3 is really a waste of time.

Just look at Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, MGS4, Heavy Rain, and Killzone 2 and you'll see which system is capable of better graphics. Plus, I'm not wasting my money on this game and if I ever do get it, I wont get it until it hits the bargain bin.

[UNCyrus]

judging by what its up against at release... that will be like 2 weeks >.<

[lalapin]

Motrostorm 2 rules .

[ICUP]

MotorStorm: Pacific Rift 2 skit skit on both PURE and Baja: Edge of Control.

[DJ]

The only difference I see is a lower framerate and screen tearing on the PS3 version. The sun on the 360 version looks blown out, but that doesn't really mean much.

Wouldn't waste my time with this though. Motorstorm 1 even looks far better than this.

[Peow]

Eh. Looks better in some parts on the PS3, better in some parts(mostly the beginning) on the 360.

Either way, game looks boring, slow-paced, and ugly. I think I'll play that one off road N64 game instead, seriously I would because that game kicks ass.

[jerethdagryphon]

....mountain dew baja blast is nice :)

as for this same things as all

color pallette more realistic and subtle on ps3 more vivid in oyur face on 360

i couldnt see any signifigant framerate changes not more then aa frame or two

vistas large and clearer on ps3 less distane on 360

result tie

[Mc187]

It has already been proven that all Gametrailer comparison videos are trash. But I do enjoy seeing you flail about with your constant whining and idiocy all the time.
You always fail and so does your Manky a@@ submission.
You sir are a TOOL of the highest order.

[BaSeBaLlKiD721]

this game is such a rip-off to motorstorm

[Blakzhuk]

I'm actually impressed with it. I will buy this for sure. Comparisons are stupid. They both looked equal to me. Those who don't have the option to by MS2 will buy this. Looks fun!

[pixelsword]

and the 360 moves smoother... which proves the developers are the ones that can't make a good game. When you compare that game to Motorstorm, which beats Baja:EoC in every way possible, you can't use the PS3 as an excuse.

So, if you get Pure, Baja:EoC, DiRT, GRiD, and play them all at once...

... you get the vehicles of Motorstorm...

Take the fun parts out of all of them and add groundbreaking physics to thousands of flying parts when you crash...

... you get the gameplay of Motorstorm.

Either way, none of those games are as good as Motorstorm.

[Rapture333]

Personally I couldn't tell 30 FPS from 1000FPS unless I was really payin attention. Both seem fine to me.

Video i did of pure just to show it does have colour.ps3

[juuken]

And the comparison videos continue!

I'm sorry but I'll wait for Motorstorm: Pacific. :)

[jerethdagryphon]

lbp looksbetter ;P

but no these to racing games are equal in pros and cons

ps3s graphics were less harsh glaring in your face

360s were bright like almost all 360 games

screen tearing i sawnone but thats due to tvs not refreshing fastenough not the console

physics ps3 has a slight edge
framerate i saw slight drops when there was lots of action on both consoles nothing significant
again i say there equal

also anyone who disagrees because of my first line is a numpty as its a joke meant for ali

[juuken]

Motorstorm: Pacific please.

[Atomic]

The PS3 version is a pig.
the 360 version is a pig with lipstick, but still a pig.
Motorstorm 2 is a hard, tough pitbull.

[xg-ei8ht]

Why is it at the beginning the ps3 version is brighter. when it shows environment. The supposedly ps3 version is brighter on the left, but when they show the actual game, the 360 version is brighter.

Hmm gametrailers at it again.

its ok, i've realised what they've done, recoded the footage in sd.lmao. you sad mofos.

Look at both footage, theres no video noise in 360 version, but tons in the ps3 version.

[DA_SHREDDER]

Im sure that we can all agree that this game sucks. I seen some footage of the game on the spot at gamespot.com and man this game looks boring. Pure owns this game in every way, and so does motorstorm. Now lets get back to subjects that really matter, like COD5 side by side comparisons.

[lelo]

Game looks OK... good for a rental to try it out.

[dkgshiz]

This game looks like doodie. I never even heard of this game.

[TheXgamerLive]

Hmmm.

[silverchode]

this comparison comes from gametrailers.

[ApocalypseShadow]

and as ps3 fans would know,we didn't buy ps3 for multiplatform games.third party games are secondary to what we really want.and this game is not it.

baja as all the other motorstorm "wantabes,"have nothing on sony's exclusive game.and it's not like we really care what gametrailers,a known biased site that tried to pass off 2 ps3 videos as a comparison,does with them.

this is just another attempt by 360 fans to downplay what they "REALLY" don't have.which is the best offroad racing game.

dirt tried-failed
sega rally tried-failed
pure-looks great,but is too trick happy.another fail
baja is trying-but will fail

i also remember power of green and his "GRAND RAID OFFROAD."
http://www.gametrailers.com...

where's the game POG?i know:IT FAILED TO SHOW UP AGAINST MOTORSTORM.

ps3 has the best looking and playing simulation game that has a producer that is the only one respected by car companies and gets invited to be an honorary judge.

and ps3 is the only home of the best offroad racer this gen.nintendo's game doesn't touch it.no multiplatform offroad racer game on 360 can touch it.

good try baja.but it's just not enough.even gametrailers can't save your sales for either system.

you would think that microsoft would have tried to make a "RALLYSPORT GAME" to counter sony.it's not like they haven't tried to copy sony's games before.they should give it a shot.it was actually good.

then we can "REALLY" compare differences in offroad games.

apocalypse........

[Gam71]

Just wow at the defence force.

Enjoy motorstorm.

I didn't like the first. The boost was appalling but if thats what floats your boat.

Don't care about this but if it looked better and had better framerate on the ps3 you'd be screaming to the high hills about how good it is and you know it.

But as it doesn't it down to lazy devs, poor optimisation, 360 lead.

The point is you go on about how much more powerful the ps3 is so regardless of what is the lead console shouldn't the ps3 always come out on top?

on top with ease?

True about the getting to look the same but they aren't.
The framerate in this case.

Now we always hear about using the full advantage of the ps3 to compete with the version thats out on the 360 so if they did utilise the power of the ps3 why shouldn't they do the same with the 360?

or do you want them to release the standard version on the 360 then the fully optimised version on the ps3?

hardly seems fair but if thats what you need to show your choice of console is better.

I'd like to see a multiplat that is optimised using both consoles strengths not just the strengths of one like you.

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

Actually let me rephrase that, there are many times the ps3 would come on top but, why would they want to do that with a multi play game?

But tell me, why would you realize a multi plat game where one version kills the other? To keep others from buying it? No, multiplat games are basically expected look the same, and Devs want them to look the same too.

[Bathyj]

Baja's suck. I've got a Revo 3.3 Platinum. :)

[PSWe60]

it's a crappy game to begin with, looks like a Wii game

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

Personally, And this is all my opinion, I thought that game looked pretty bad.

Who would want to play this anyway? It's like...Motorstorm/Pure/Grid/Wh atever that other one was, and then they added weird ass courses where you can't even stay on it.

Why would you drive up a mountain in the first place!?!?!

Anyone notice that in some shots ps3 was darker, and other shots they were both the same?

Only thing I enjoyed was when they showed the distance shot I guess you can say and you saw the ocean and sun and all the hills and trees, that's about the only thing that looked good.

[Gam71]

i believe the ps3 is darker because when they do these comparisons both consoles settings for the output are basically factory settings.

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

Yeah, most likely you're right.

I dont see why they would do this though, wouldn't it make more sense to optimize for both consoles?

[beans]

This game definitely looks better on 360 but not as good as pacific rift. I was really hoping and still hope another rally sport challenge is released because that's the game I believe that would of gave motostorm a real challenge.

[cr33ping_death]

and this game matters why? looks terrible on both consoles so gives a f@ck

[DA_SHREDDER]

But I guess you bots need something to get your minds off of Motorstorm 2.

[Rob0g0rilla]

More jaggies, bad framerate, and it looks pretty washed out. It's getting some pretty bad reviews for both versions. This game doesn't look like it's worth 40 dollars. Motorstorm 2 & Pure definitely looks a lot better.

Even Motorstorm 1 knocks this game off it's feet and that was basically a rushed launch PS3 game. This game totally looks outdated as well. It reminds me of a N64 game remade in HD.

This comparison is pretty much meaningless. Games like this are just too expensive to cough up 60 dollars for when the quality and reviews are so low.

[TheColbertinator]

Actually I thought both versions looked very good.The PS3 had a bit less color but it looked sharper on the detail.Either way,nice looking game

[steck67]

Motorstorm > Pure > Baja

[Atomic]

Motorstorm>>>>> >>>>>>>> ;Pure>>>Baja

fixt.

[jerethdagryphon]

how many of you actually know what antialaising is.
and how it works and why jaggies are there

anti aliansing smooths those out by blurring pixels along side it more or less

xXx compared to X the its smooths it out but overuse causes framrate drops and can cause other optimatation issues
also in very close up views poorly done aa looks bad if its not likly to be seen they dont bother

[Mr_Luke]

Why ppl get mad for multiplatform? The best from the hardware is given by exclusive titles. Programmers can't loose lot of money and time to get 2 equal versions. Oh wait, some developers did with great results... so what?
The real programmers can do great things on both the consoles and the "junk" prefers the 360 cause easier to program? Good, i'm happy that the best games are from Sony and its 1st/2nd parties, so they don't need to lower they knowledge in programming. I don't care about the multiplatforms if they are smashed by the exclusives. Over all in the Ps3 case, since isn't hard to beat all that crap...

[plain rice]

Whose going to buy this crappy looking game? If your a PS3 owner, Motorstorm 2 is all you need.

[dj_funky]

this game sucks. even pure is better than this crap. if u wanna see what a real off road game looks like.. wait for motorstorn 2 and we'll see what looks the best... only on the ps3.

[xg-ei8ht]

Gametrailers and eurogamer = epic fail.

http://uk.ps3.ign.com/dor/o...

http://uk.ps3.ign.com/dor/o...

[HerBieScrogg]

get over it!!!!!!!!!!!

[DARKTRINITYxxx]

LOL cant get past the fact that theres even arguments going on here on what console it looks the best on. Im a PS3 owner and i think it looks crap on the PS3 and the XBOX360. Shouldnt the arguments be about whos even gonna waste thier money on this game in the 1st place? I mean come on pure is out on the 26th and so is the new brother in arms game.

[Kwijiboe]

Not sure anyone posted this, the Xbox360 clips ONLY show one car racing by itself for almost every clip except for the last.

PS3 clips always show multiple cars on the track.

It's only natural slow down will occur if there's more on the screen.

[jlemdon]

people, it's one thing u need to know is if PS3 is sooo much powerful then 360. Most games would show, remember 2k series on PS2 vs Xbox.

the Xbox version clearly outshined the PS2 versions, so if that's the case with PS3 then how come we don't see that Significant difference???

[felidae]

lol. if you look at Motorstorm 2 you'll think Baja is a game for the n64

[FF]

Buy Pure...

[xg-ei8ht]

jlemdon

The point of the argument is, while showing both versions, they used completely different gameplay.

It's the same kind of thing eurogamer did with pure.

Pure is a colourful game on the ps3. but according to eurogamer, it isn't.

That is complete and utter fail. From supposedly respectable sources.

And your argument about power of consoles.

For the simple brain i'll explain.

1st console uses 3 ppe's 470mb ram

2nd console uses 1 ppe (and should be using 6spu's) 450mb ram

Now coding for 1st consoles, is like coding for pc.

Coding for 2nd console is unique, since the ppe is supposed to be telling the spu's what to do.

But if the code for the ppe to the spu is bad, it'll most likely run poor and look poor, as they would have to drop res, or assets, aka gta4.

Remember that was rockstars first game on the ps3, using completely different code.

My point is this, any dev that has made 2-3 games for ps3, will know most of what they need to by now.

360 is a known quantity. Has been for along time.

I do agree that sony should have used 2ppe's, by having a dual core, it would have naturally ran games fine without needing use for the spu's all the time.

[Karum]

"Just wow at the defence force.

Don't care about this but if it looked better and had better framerate on the ps3 you'd be screaming to the high hills about how good it is and you know it."

No doubt there would be people screaming about that. Personally though it doesn't matter much to me, the game looks like garbage on both versions imo.

Pure is an off road ATV multi-plat that I really liked the look of from the demo on my PS3, I liked both the gameplay and the look and feel of it. Still not taking my attention away from Motorstorm though just because it has much more depth in terms of vehicles and actually supports trophies and custom soundtracks. PS3 owners will go for that evry time despite how good a multi plat looks, if it doesn't measure up in every department to an exclusive like Motorstorm or Wipeout HD it's not gonna do very well on the PS3.

I'm actually looking forward to the next rtarded article after the release of Baja about how it sold more on the 360 than it did on PS3. Should be a good one lol.

[VMAN_01]

I have read that this game doens't look too good on the PS3 but who the fack cares its such a bad game why would you compare graphics of this game is this what the gaming community has stooped to?

[MvmntInGrn]

same. but it would be better to use the same track...

possible AA method difference?

[na2ru1]

But does it make you wonder? Its just not acceptable for this present day

The only explanation i have is that this game runs at 1080i (interlaced) max. - this leads to HALF THE FRAMERATE

Therefore, since the default settings are RGB limited and hdmi AUTOMATIC, highest resolution is chosen for the game.

I stick with 720p and my Warhawk FPS runs A LOT SMOOTHER.

[chewmystink]

I watched a video on Core where the Dev said you could link 3 ps3's together to have 3 screens which is a feature that I think is great for that imersive sensation, Forza 2 did it on the 360 as well but you could have 5 screens on the go at once with that. Mind you the cost of doing this is extreme 3 consoles and 3 lcd's same size but just like having the option :)

[wazborn]

TO BE HONEST IS LOOKS IDENTICAL ON BOTH CONSOLE BUT SINCE I AM A XBOXFAN... PS3 SUCKS

Carmine(gears of war) screams "LETS DO THISSSS!!!!!" as he sets his ACTIVE RELOAD and jambs his Lancer up PS3's ASS. .HAHAHAHAHAH

....FIRES ARE SHOT INTO THE ASS AND BLAST OPEN THE HEAD...

"YOU AINT SO THOUGH WITHOUT UR HEAD AINT YA?!" .. by Carmine

PS..... SONY SUCKS..
GAMES TO THE PEOPLE, MONEY TO THE DEVELOPERS WALLETS.. POWER TO XBOX... PEACE. HAHAHAHAH

hahahah

[random6789012345]

they looked almsot identical except it looks liek someone forgot to put the brightness up on the ps3 and forgot to tone it down a little on the 360

[Horny]

eh looks the same to me, then again this is gametrailers so who knows how they altered this video.

I did notice the PS3 version always had more cars on screen while on the 360 you were usually the only car and then maybe passed 1 or 2.

[schmeidenkamp]

that game looks boring

[tk]

So I expect the comparison had:
- same amount of cars on screen? No? Oops - looks like some fiddling going on.

But with MS2 coming out - who is actually going to buy this game?

[someguy9]

Xbox looks much better

[Wotbot]

the end of the day the PS3 is not a lot more powerful then the 360.

The PS3 has a more powerful CPU and the 360 has a more powerful GPU.

The PS3 has 512mb of RAM with 250 running at 3ghz, the 360 has 512mb (running at the same speed as the slower half of the ps3's ram) + 10mb of super fast memory on the GPU.

When you look at these basic facts, and I mean basic, the PS3 is a little bit more powerful, but not by enough to notice too much difference.

I have both consoles and I like the 360 more, but thats because I prefer the controller and most of my proper gamer friends have the 360.

But I love the PS3 and would recommend both consoles to anyone.

The only game I think really shows off what the PS3 can do is GT. The other games look good but nothing that the 360 couldn't do.

[MADTHEO 1994]

i think 360 looks better

[y0haN]

Wow, the PS3 version runs like sh~t!

[pumpkinpunker]

Better and more color, more detail, and less jaggies. Smoother framerate, too.

I guess the PS3 still can't anti-alias. Sony should definitely lower the price because most of the multi-plats run inferior on the PS3.
