hahahah, that video cannot be serious... look how absurdly grainy and blocky it is. As I said, the Ps3 version looks like ass... I've played it and I own it and I'm trying to give it away in a contest as we speak.... I can't speak for the xbox 360 version, but the engine just isn't here for a great looking experience. I'm sorry.

chaosatom5660d ago (Edited 5660d ago )

I warned u.

Those were pretty low-res solution, so it's impossible to decide.
But Conclusion is: They look the same.

Hydrolex5660d ago (Edited 5660d ago )

yes the 360 version kinda looks better in THAT VIDEO ! THAT VIDEO

jwatt5660d ago

I think this was a bad comparison video.

dro5660d ago

the funny thing is if they used the ps3 cell propley they will not be any need for all this videos!!!

Pika-pie5660d ago

Cant make a reasonable comparison from that clip, the resolution is about the same as a gameboy colour.

Will still pick up both version to make my own decision before commiting my time.

mikeslemonade5660d ago

The game in general isn't impressive visually so I don't care. I care more about the framerate in this situation. It's like GTA4 who cares if you have the better looking version when the game looks ass average.

MaxXAttaxX5660d ago

You know it!

They both looked better than the other in different situations.
And besides, as long as they keep porting from 360 to PS3, it'll never be exactly the same.

shovelbum5660d ago

How can anyone take them serious with that type of quality video? Were they playing gamecube on a 25" floor model from the 70's? That was such a waste of time like all these comparison articles and vids.

Lifendz5660d ago

trying to save your own credibility. Don't worry, no one cares what you wrote on your biased site.

JsonHenry5660d ago

The PS3 and the 360 are so close in capabilities (typically) that the comparisons really need to stop.

If you want a real comparison of the consoles then you should compare both the PS3 and the 360 to the PC version to see how well the consoles are holding up a few years after their release. ( I think they are both doing great for no more than what is under the hood of the consoles )

Real Gambler5660d ago

No punt intended about the "cell" phone either!

That has to be the crappiest video ever!! There nothing worst, even on youtube, quality wise! Some people have too much time on their hands obviously!

P.S.: If they are really that crappy, I'm even happier since I got the PC version, and it does look awesome (I didn't even crank the graphic because my video card is 1 year old).

Fallen_Angel5660d ago

wow they both look like crap if they really look that bad then who cares

GameForFame5659d ago

Dude, I have both versions (360 & PS3) - I work at a Gamestore and was able to take home a used version of the 360 someone brought in, they were saying something about bugs...so first off the 360 one already has its fair share of problems. Visually...the two, they are not drastically different...one doesn't look like ass compared to the other. This game, visually, is not amazing by any standards. Hell, I should put a video comparing the two, it would entirely better quality than this is. If you're saying the PS3 version looks like ass than you have to say that the other does too...if someone were running the two on two different TVs and you didn't know which one was which you wouldn't be able to tell. Honestly, you wouldn't. After adjusting in game lighting, making sure your HD TV is all specd out right in terms of HD graphics with the PS3 they look damn near identical. But this game in general is nothing to marvel at graphics wise...that goes for the PC version too...which I've seen in action for a few hours at a friends.

Cynical-Gamerzus5659d ago

spoiled by Wipeout HD ,GT5 and XMB,and Bluray!!

We are beggining to expect quality stuff!!!
After viewing the Incredible Hulk on BLuray and Wipeout HD!!
Can you blame us for expecting a PS3 game to look like well a PS3 game,I.e not a friggin low budget hand me down PC engine port of the 360!!!

This is gameradar we are talking about.

FBl5660d ago

Since the Ps3 version is the only version with true HiDefinition graphics,it is in fact the best looking version of Fallout 3.

Aquanox5660d ago

How are we supposed to notice any difference in a low quality 5 inch video?

Kleptic5660d ago

another typical comparison...first word is that the 360 gets the jump with 'slightly better and more consistancy'...then several reviews don't even mention it...then the comparison videos show nothing of the sort...

that video was crap though...I hope it was the video and not the game because both version chugged at numerous times (think it was the video though, because when it would happen both 360 and PS3 version seemed to be moving at 5 fps)...

I also innitially though the 360 had a much further draw distance...but then saw how it was simply the camera was centered differently on the horizon between the two...the PS3 version the horizon was just lower on the screen compared to the 360 at numerous times...but all the background detail was there for both...

neither looked overly impressive though...as far as open world games go right now, it still looks like GTAIV is the best looking one...and thats saying something, but GTAIV doesn't even look that ridiculous...Far Cry 2 was a pretty big let down for both consoles imo...the pop for both systems was just too much to take, and really hurt the immersion of the world...

InMyOpinion5660d ago

I would trust what they write if they could back it up by posting a video comparison that's actually watchable.

olivia5660d ago

the ps3 version is more vivid and bright while the 360 is darker,overall on a standard tv bout version will look similar,while on a full hd 1080p tv the ps3 will show more vivical improvement,which is clearly shown thank u and have a wonderful day

"we’re sorry to say that neither console looks consistently better than the other. Some textures look better on PS3, while others look broken. Some colors look more vibrant on 360, but some look more washed out. "

Danja5660d ago

The video quality sucks so probably we should wait for Gmaetrailers even though they'll probably make the PS3 version look even more crappy than it is...

ne ways the game isn't that graphically astounding ne ways so who cares which version looks better aslong a gameplay is tight thats all that matters.....

Jinxstar5660d ago

Is it the same experience? So long as that holds true then whatever. Unless someone has a hard on for DLC then it doesn't matter. You buy this game for Story not graphics. If I want graphics I'll get Alan Wake or Killzone 2.

elorm95660d ago

Looked like I was watching something even a PS1 could do. :|

spongeboob5660d ago

I don't give a truck which looks better i just wish they release a patch to fix all the bugs in this game soon. The bugs make the game feel rushed and i think it needed a few more months in the cooker.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies3d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken3d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing694d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker4d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing694d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt3d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken3d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

Now is the Best Time to Get This Incredible RPG Bundle on Steam

If you are looking for an awesome RPG, look no further. Steam is offering a significant discount on its Fallout Franchise Bundle.

SimpleSlave4d ago

"You can get all Fallout games in a bundle at a significant 20% discount on Steam. Individually, all these games add up to $244.91. With the discount, you can get them all for $195.91. That is $49 less than the original price. Quite a significant discount for such a popular franchise."

😊 😂 🤣 😐 - But why?

Just wait for a sale and get most if not all of it for a fraction of that price.

20% off...lol

Tacoboto4d ago

The games were just on a real sale over the last week or two for the show promotion. Fallout 4 was $10, 3 was $5, NV was cheap as heck too.

So what the heck is this

Inverno4d ago

The original games have been given out for free by Amazon for GOG and Epic, 76 is free now on Amazon if you have prime, Epic has also given out new Vegas for free and 4 has gone down to pretty cheap prices. 194 bucks is a total ripoff when you can get these games individually for less. Don't forget cd keys might sell em for a dollar less at times too. Come on man, us cheapskates won't touch anything near or above 100 lolz

isarai4d ago

Bro that's a ridiculous ripoff are you kidding me? 🤣

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast5d ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood5d ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK5d ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast4d ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake5d ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast4d ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon5d ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast4d ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

Armaggedon4d ago

Yeah, but thats not the result of laziness, incompetence, or a bad engine. Thats what happens with their type of open world games. Its hard for people to find a point of comparison because no one makes games like Bethesda does.

gold_drake4d ago

mh ok thanks, i still think ur wrong in this mate.

anast4d ago

No problem. I'm not here to convince you. I'm only stating an actuality. What your words do if we look at them like events.
