Resident Evil 5 DEMO Comparison

What follows is a comparison of the Biohazard 5 demos which were recently released for the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3. What you should keep in mind when viewing the pictures below is that, as of the publishing of this article, the game still has three months of development time and any of the things you see below could very well be changed by the time the game is released. Another thing you should note is that these shots were taken through component video output on both consoles.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Uh-oh! I know which version I'm buying.

[Magic_The_Celt]

Xbox 360? since thats all you have?

[chaosatom]

even If one is superior than the other.

No one is actually going to buy a whole another console for it, lol.

[Snake Raiser]

I, BIG BOSS, don't know. How the Fck I am supposed to compare the games with these screen shots? Just show us the exact same pictures next to each other, one from each console!

Maybe my browser just does not like the mouse over thing.

[blackbeld]

PS3 it is!!! PS3 is the leading platform for developers to make games..

360 controls sucks!!! and for graphics its still not the final build for PS3 but 360 is those graphics you will get.. :(

[ravinshield]

the ps3rd version looks so poor quality, thats just funny

[Bubble Buddy]

Uh as Voodo said, both versions used component cables. o_0

[JeffGUNZ]

Don't worry buddy, we can just install it to the Hard Drive and it will run perfectly. Fanyboy.

[Arsenic13]

The textures in the 360 version arent as blurred.
As seen with the meat http://www.the-horror.com/i...

You can see the chainsaw looking nicer as well.

The skulls are blurry on PS3 you cannot deny it. http://www.the-horror.com/i...

PS3 has higher smog volume but its very evident that the resolution or Aliasing is lower http://www.the-horror.com/i...

Now if this picture doesn't prove the 360 version looks better than your blind http://www.the-horror.com/i...

Shiva losses shading from her hair and her headset on the PS3 version http://www.the-horror.com/i...

The game will be great anyway, minor graphical difference wont change the gameplay.

If your going to disagree state why, not hide in the shadows like a coward.

[ultimolu]

...So we're judging a game based on screenshots and not the gameplay in motion?

Are you serious?

What matters to me is that the graphics aren't destroying my eyes and the gameplay is great.

[Arsenic13]

Did i not state the graphics wont change the gameplay? The gameplay is great, the graphical differences are minor but still noticeable, but still wont affect gameplay at all.

[Blademask]

and its textures.

[ultimolu]

You sure didn't make it sound minor because you were passing your opinion as fact.

[HighDefinition]

Is the DEMO up on the JP PSN store?

[Arsenic13]

So looking at those pics you say the PS3 looks better? There isnt less shading? Your eyes are adding shading where its no existent? Just look, no opinion is stated when it clearly shows that there are things missing.

[HighDefinition]

Ultimolu just completely ruined your little moment.

[ultimolu]

Arsenic, you just proved my point. You passed your opinion as fact when the game clearly looks great on both consoles. I don't see why we need closeups of skulls and facials. I mean, aren't we blowing off heads in this game either way?

Why do these closeups matter so much? C'mon now.

[Arsenic13]

And how would that be? Stating that I think the minor difference will destroy the game when I clearly do not? Im just asking him about the obvious shading differences, how is the lack of them an opinion?

Im not saying that the graphics blow on the PS3 but there are obvious differences and your feeling like i hurt you physically. The game looks great on both places but there are subtle differences that i pointed out, it may be significant to me and not you but I can still make them apparent since its a comparison discussion.

[ultimolu]

Lmfao, are you serious?! You posted a whole bunch of links comparing VERY minor details. Oh, the skull looks blurry on the PS3 version. And then you go on by saying oh, if this picture doesn't show the 360 version is better, you're blind.

You passed all of that as fact, once again.

[CommonSense]

i have no idea which version was which, but i liked the one you don't mouse over better. but i only looked at a few pictures in each category. either way, i can't wait til this game is released. i've been looking forward to it for years.

[Arsenic13]

Its a graphical comparison news post. Did you honestly expect not to see ppl comparing the details no matter how minor? I may of written the "your blind" thing in bad taste but its very apparent that things are missing and that cant possibly be opinion if you look.

@ below And yet you do nothing to aid either argument. Instigate all you want.

If these comparisons bother you, why even click the article? You set yourself up to something that obviously angers you. Just dont look up things that bother you.

And im spent.

[ultimolu]

Aresenic, do I *look* stupid to you? I graduated from college with a major in English and a minor in Classical Studies but that doesn't mean I don't have a degree of common sense. When the videos were shown here, it was obvious that *both* versions looked the same. Nobody was doing retarded comparisons on how the skulls looked blurry on the PS3 version and the skulls looked sharper on the 360 version.

Why do we need these closeup comparisons? Isn't enough that both versions will play the same and will look the same?

It was fun comparing back when GTAIV came out but now, it's ridiculous.

And you're feeding the ridiculousness of the whole damn thing.

[iamtehpwn]

they still look the same to me.

[candystop]

Good 1st post Arsenic but honestly it just isn't worth bringing up. Both look fine and we should just leave it at that. Also this has nothing to do with KZ2, and if you were smart you would quit trying to jinx the game by praising it before release.

[HighDefinition]

Nobody needs to wait for Killzone2 to be released.

1 screenshot shows, it`s better looking than ANYTHING the 360 has to offer and by a VERY large margin.

[MrWonderful]

i stopped reading at " it is common knowledge that the 30 has a sharper output than the ps3." hell even gametrailers did a good comparison of the game. http://www.gametrailers.com...

[Aclay]

@ candystop,

Yeah, Killzone 2 has nothing to do with Resident Evil 5, but the FACT is that KZ2 looks better than anything on the 360 and it stomps all over RE5.

I could care less about Multiplatform comparisons between the PS3 and 360 because it's obvious the PS3 is capable of more graphically and Killzone 2 proves it. As long as the PS3 version of a multiplatform game looks good, it's all that matters to me.

[jackdoe]

The blur is due to Quincux AA otherwise the textures are the same. The blur just makes it harder to tell some of the finer details. However, the lack of self shadowing is disappointing and will hopefully get fixed for the retail release. If not, shame on Capcom.

[Danja]

have some pity with him, they still feel the need to justify there 360 purchase by bragging that they have better looking version of a multi-plat games since they're exclusives games looks as dated now..

they dont wanna mention KZ2 because they can't name a game on the 360 that can compete graphically...

and RE:5 looks the same on both consoles from the video Gametrailers did .

[ErcsYou]

Quoted

"In summary, at this time, it appears that the Xbox 360 version is a few builds ahead of the Playstation 3. We look forward to revisiting the results when the games are released at retail and finished. For now, treat the results as temporary."

[candystop]

I leave to come back to this crap lol. Guys and gals it's KZ2 for crying out loud made by gg that will suck because it's the exact same freaking game as the 1st. Visually it looks impressive but no light years ahead of Gears2 or even RE5. I'm going to bust out laughing when this game flops and watch as all of you clowns try and deny any of your silly comments. I have absolutely no faith in GG and honestly don't think KZ2 is going to live up to the hype. Anybody could focus on making a pretty game but that's going to turn out to be nothing more than eye candy as we will see in KZ2. This is to freaking funny to the point where 360 fans are not going to let this go once the truth comes out the game sucks.

[power of Green]

I could have told you guy this days ago :O wait I did and was punished by rabid PS3 fans lol.

Love my New HP touchSmart IQ PC, seen all the differences days ago on it, with the first comparison. Wonder what KillZone 2 would look like on the 360.

Maybe Sony won't lie about the PS4's capabilities, fat-chance.

EDIT:

""power of Green - 10 days 2 hours ago

PM
Track
Ignore4 -
On my new hp touchsmart 504 IQ the 360 verison clearly has superior contrast, color and textures. The 360 version is sharper, 27-28 seconds in the 360 version has graphical effects missing in the PS3 version period, no amount of attacks will change that.

I'v noticed there is alot of anti MSFT news post on this site now that are simply not true.

Sorry.

EDIT: Don't cry you have to pause it to see the what Im talking about or it could be your inferior PCs nothing you'll be seeing in action lol.

Don't pay attention to the dissagrees and attacks I get or the claims that the devs got both the exactly the same they are not.

Fox news N4G's is/\.""

Check out the attacks for just voicing opinion on this site WoW!
http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-...

That *Tordavis kid* attacked me for saying what my eyes seen lol.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Power of Green - I gotta hand it to ya, man. You're crazy enough to think that Killzone 2 is possible on the 360? You got extra drunk today, didn't you?

[voodoo341]

"Another thing you should note is that these shots were taken through component video output on both consoles"

that statement makes the whole article rubbish and a waste of time.

[mykrlz182]

Wow you really are a moron looks like someone wasted time and money on a college education! Did you even read the article? He clearly states that this comparison is for those people that have both systems and need help deciding which version to get . I for one found it very useful because I want the better version. You fanboys are just thick headed. It looks obvious to me the 360 version looks better (not bad for an old outdated system -sarcasm). So know all of a sudden graphics don't matter, "it's all about how the game plays" give me a break. What a cop out, you guys are pathetic! Then you have people saying things like, "I don't care about multiplatform games I just care about how good Killzone 2 is going to look.". First of all you should care because wether you want to admit it to yourself or not Exclusives are pretty hard to come by these days. Especially for Sony, second all you talk about are games that aren't even out yet and how this is going to be the game that's going to blow the 360 out of the water. Give it up already just buy both sytems and find out for yourself which is better. Don't get me wrong I love my Ps3 I use all the time to watch blurays, but for gaming I'll stick to my 360.

[HDgamer]

You know fanboys only judge by the screenshots and graphics but not the gameplay itself.

[ultimolu]

So basically what you're saying is that we should judge games by screenshots rather than gameplay.

You play games on your 360 and watch bluray movies on your PS3. I'll use the PS3 as my media center. I play games AND movies.

I know for a fact the PS3 version looks the same as the 360 version and nothing will change my mind. We have passed the era where games look different on both consoles.

[ProperFunked]

its almost like its getting hard to trust game developers to keep their integrity when it comes to making multiplatform games. You look at the slight image quality and think "is this how it REALLY LOOKS or did the Devs or someone else purposely make one version look slightly worse then the other?"(perhaps influenced by money) then again i hate comparison videos altogether cuz it just fans the flames and these seriously need to stop being produced. Just let us play in peace, FFS

[360 man]

so now it seems that ultimolu will now add shading and better textures to the places in the ps3 version were there werent any.

please stop being a fangirl, this comment here

"I know for a fact the PS3 version looks the same as the 360 version and nothing will change my mind. We have passed the era where games look different on both consoles."

just makes you look foolish

[techie]

PS3 shots were taken using Component, not HDMI, hence the slight blur. Also could be the QAA.

[prowiew]

Seems like the 360 have a little edge over the ps3. Nice comparison by the way. Lots of pictures.

[Karum]

How can you call other people a moron when you come off with idiotic statements such as "Sony are finding exclusives hard to come by"??? I assume you're either ignorant or in denial in regards to the slew of PS3 exclusives due out next year compared to that of MS who haven't announced very much in the way of exclusives.

Also, the game looks pretty much the same if you're just watching it and not zooming into portions of the video, analysing it to death.

What you SHOULD be taking into consideration for buying the "better" version is whether or not you're going to prefer any online portions of the game more on LIVE or on PSN and whether or not you prefer achievements or trophies. Those are the real factors to take into consideration when buying multi-platform games these days because visually and mechanically they are virtually identical.

I would even go as far as to submit to you that there are no "better" versions of multi-play games in the visual or mechanical sense. The only differences as mentioned before are which online service you want to play co-op or w/e on, which rewards system you prefer and even if you care about exclusive DLC when it comes to multi-plats.

Now you may own both consoles but you really did just come off as some kind of retarded and rabid fanboy. Now I don't mean to insult with this post but if it did hit a nerve then maybe you need to have a think about whether or not your opinions are actually rational.

And yes, one of those diagrees came from me.

[callahan09]

Both versions look gorgeous. It's a much bigger improvement over the visuals from Biohazard (Resident Evil) 4 than the last batch of shots I saw a few months back. It's shaping up nicely.

Some of the coloring is brighter and more vibrant on the PS3 version, while some of the textures look sharper on the 360 version. The lighting looks better in more of those screens on the 360 version, but some of the PS3 version shots have better lighting and shading effects too. I'd say that both versions have a fair number of screens that looked better than the other version, but the 360 probably had a few more better shots than the PS3 had. All in all, the differences between versions is very minimal, even in matched still shots. In motion, nobody will see a difference.

The real issue in terms of quality of one version over the other will be screen tearing vs. frame-rate drop. The PS3 version is said to have more frame-rate drops and the 360 version is said to have more screen tearing. Both can take a gamer out of the world of the game and back to the reality that you're just playing with code and polygons. I wonder which is more of a problem to their respective version? All in all I'd say that the benefits and issues with each version are damn close to equal and that either version is just as good of a purchasing choice as the other... Personally, the graphic and animation differences aren't weighted to the favor of either console enough for that to influence my decision. Even if the 360 version turns out 1 or 2 percent better looking than the PS3 version, while I'm playing the PS3 version I'll never know the difference, the game will still be looking great and I'll have no doubts that I'm playing the same game as owners of the 360 version.

The reasons I will be getting the PS3 version really comes down to the controller and the trophy system. I am much more addicted to trophies than achievements. After seeing my achievement gamerscore reach over 15,000 I just don't get any satisfaction from seeing that already high number reach any higher... but I'm still addicted to trophy-hunting. I guess I like the system better, that's all. Rather than just seeing an arbitrary number that keeps growing to unfathomable heights, I like to be able to see an exact number of each bronze, silver, gold, and platinum trophy that I've earned, and to increase my Trophy Level. So, I'm more interested in increasing those trophy numbers and my trophy level than getting a few hundred more measly gamerscore points tacked on to my 15,000.

And the controller is more important than the minute graphical differences because I've played every single Resident Evil game with a Dual Shock controller, and it's just what I feel comfortable doing with Resident Evil 5 all other things considered.

In summary, both versions of this game are shaping up awesomely and I can't wait to give it a go.

[MNicholas]

the 360 version looks much better.

Having said that, given the exceptional visual quality (incredible textures, shaders, polygon counts, lighting, etc with very solid frame-rates) of games like Uncharted, MGS4, etc., such a poor effort in creating the PS3 version is inexcusable. The old "we're trying to figure it out" is no longer valid. If people are paying $60 they deserve better than a rushed port. Shame on the developer for short-changing customers.

[360 man]

you have to keep it smaller man

u cant expect people to plow through all that text

thats like a freakin essay

[gaffyh]

1. It's a DEMO
2. You are only going to play one version of the game, so why the f*** do you care if it looks different on the other platform?

[thewhoopimen]

As the article points, xbox fanboys, the ps3 build is older and lacks some of the shaders and shadowing that the 360 build has. Let's reserve judgement until the final build comes out b4 you guys start pointing your pea shooters at the opposition.

@POG - If kz2 could be done on the 360, it would have come out by now. Afterall, the 360 did come out a YEAR earlier. where's 360's KZ2? Ninja blade? Don't think so.

[locos85]

To me it looks like the PS3 version hasn't gone through touch ups yet. There are bulidings without ridges and damage like the 360 version. And the clothing doesnt have the textures yet. I think this comparison shows the 360 version looks better but I don't believe the final build will have this much difference between both versions.

[gambare]

mm..... I saw both demos, and that "blurry" is fault of the ingame motion blur, remember the "blurry" in DMC4?

"An issue with the Xbox 360 version is the screen tearing. It rears its ugly head quite often on the Xbox 360."

"I haven't seen any screen tearing on the Playstation 3, but I have noticed more framerate dips on it compared to the couple of times it hits the 360. I assume that the Playstation 3 has v-sync enabled by default, thus rather than tearing the screen, you'll get frame drops."

"Another shot shows the lack of dust that kicks up on the 360 version from the majini."

and both versions got their pros and cons

"Here is another shot showing the lack of self shadowing on the Playstation 3. Note Sheva's headset, and hair."

did someone notice that the shadows on shevas are on but on the other char got shades on the PS3 version? looks like there are faults on both versions

[JHUX]

"hp touchsmart 504 IQ" haha wow you have got to be kidding... thats not even that great of a computer..Pretty much anyone could build a computer to stomp all over that one, for less money, minus the touch screen.

then all these people "I can clearly see which version is better", actually no you cant! haha it really amazes me how idiotic people are here.

1) Only a fanboy will start pulling out differences out of his ass, and claim his version is superior. Real gamers will notice no difference, as there isn't.
2) Comparison videos are old, and not worth anything, considering multiplats now are all going to be the same pretty much.
3)This is a demo.
4)It's not in HD.

Good day.

[tordavis]

I don't care what anyone in this thread says. I've played RE5 at E3, I've seen it running on both systems on HUGE HD monitors and YOU CAN NOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE!

[BardockS30Z]

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooo CARES?!

[Saint Sony]

Why do people have to bring Killzone 2 to every damn article?

Of course Killzone 2 looks better... you cannot compare it to 360 version, now can you?... 360 version might be just a bit better....*FAINTS*

PS3 barely has any smoke or dust... and some say PS3 smoke volume is better... er... ok.

[Tapewurm]

COMPONENT CABLES AND a good HD TV = CRAP images, when compared to what you see when you run a game or Bluray movie with HDMI. I promise you the image will look night and day. The problem you have here is that not all 360's have the HDMI out. So get both demos up and running on systems that support HDMI and then take your screen shots. This entire thread of comments is pointless :)

[d3l33t]

You must be joking. I played all three versions and the Wii one takes the cake n00bs!

[supaflypriest1]

"1.3 - In all fairness though, Killzone2 stomps all over RE5.
and its textures."

But who is talking about Killzone 2?? I thought we were comparing RE5???

[Bubble Buddy]

Vodoo - Bubbles. You should have had the first comment.

[Bob Dole]

Geez, you guys need to chill. Wait till the full version of the game comes out then compare. You know what's even better than comparing though??? PLAYING THE EFFING GAME! Bob Dole could give two sh1ts about which version has better textures and what not. He cares how beautiful it looks when a zombie's head explodes from the shotgun round he just plugged into that b1tch... and it will look beautiful on both consoles.

[JeffGUNZ]

First off, the game isn't even out yet. Stop comparing it. Unless the title of the article says "Killzone 2" in it somewhere, then leave it out of the discussion. Once it comes out and you play through the whole game, then you can discuss it's graphics. Killzone 2 will sure look nice, but it will flop with this much hype, mainly because sony is AWFUL at advertising. Stop saying KZ2 will stomp RE5 when the f'n game isn't even out yet. God. I have never met any of you fanboys who can admit their system is not perfect.

[Carbide7]

Beautiful game on both consoles, the character models are what stand out for me especially, probably the best looking multiplatform game for '09

[IcarusOne]

This game looks gorgeous. And this comparison was fantastic. Normally I skip over these things because they seem like pointless drivel. But these stills are top notch. And f*cking beautiful.

I have to say, I'm surprised to see the 360 version looking so much...fuller. This franchise was born and raised on the Playstation and I thought it would look better on the PS3. I know it's an early build, but the difference between the two is certainly noticeable. And kinda staggering in my opinion.

Any one know when these demos hit in the US?

[DeadIIIRed]

Great comparison. I just bought a used 360 so I thought I wouldn't care which one looked better. Still though I'm upset that the 360 version looks like it received special attention to detail. I don't know if the graphics merit the 360 version or if tradition merits the PS3. I'm torn.

[thewhoopimen]

Right.... the kz2 that should have, would have, could have come out on the 360 this year but didn't. Does that mean the 360 devs suck, are lazy, or can't pull it off on a hardware that had a year's headstart?

Dream on. why do you think MS with all that money hasn't gotten a single first party dev to come up with something better than halo3? Why is it that, EPic and Capcom lead over MS 1st party studios? The 60 mil thrown into Kz2 is a drop in the bucket for MS. Dev money is clearly a non-issue. The way I look at it, the moment a 3rd party > 1st party in quality on a console, then you know the hardware is tapped out, plain and simple.

1st party titles showcase a console's ability. 3rd party should almost always be struggling to catch up to 1st party on the latest coding tricks, tapping the hardware, etc.

[Bloodshedder]

where is the demo i want to download it on the ps3

[Carbide7]

Here you go
"Meanwhile, the Playstation 3 version was released (on disc only) on December 18th. It was only available to new buyers of the Playstation 3 from the 18th onward."

[Bloodshedder]

fck... the game looks like R4 that sucked arss it isnt a resident evil...

[locos85]

R4 was one of the best in the series. What u smokin???

[Ninja-Sama]

Which store? Tell me plz!

[Carbide7]

"......the Playstation 3 version was released (on disc only) on December 18th. It was only available to new buyers of the Playstation 3 from the 18th onward."

[DiabloRising]

Comparisons! Yay! More proof that game journalism has NOTHING pertinent or substantive to write about. Yay! Next I want to compare... hmmm... crap... let's see....

Oh oh... what is more blue? Mega Man or Sonic? Ready... and.... COMPARE!

[ultimolu]

Maybe we should compare nailpolish for my nails I have to do on Saturday...xP

[HighDefinition]

Comment of the day.

[ProperFunked]

"who" is more blue, not "what" since they're both more or less persons with personality and free thoughts. idk thats just what i think. and i would say sonic

[Chicken Chaser]

That was nicely done actually

[jwatt]

Yea but the color diffrence didn't look like that in the gametrailers comparison video.

[SONYSLAVE]

thanks to the so called most awesome powerful CeLL.

:)

[Razzy]

Too bad the "superior version" will flatline your 360 as it struggles to boot up the game.

[aiphanes]

Everybody knows the PS3 has HDMI 1.3a...and it looks better in HDMI vs componet on the PS3. The Xbox 360 is only using HDMI 1.2...but lets not get into this..That might just be for blurays...LOL

This game was designed on the PS3 then ported to the xbox 360 right? Or was it designed on the PC then ported to the PS3 and Xbox 360? Does anybody have the true answer? Then it should look about the same or better on the PS3. So me the final game on the same HDMI 1080p HDTV...perferrably a Samsung, Panasonic or Pioneer 1080p plasma...and then tell me which one looks better.

I think they both will look about the same....anybody who is using componet cables in both of these consoles on a current gen HDTV has to be crazy...I can see if you are using an old archaic first gen Xbox 360 (remember microsoft said HDMI was not needed this gen, just like sony said rumble was not needed)

I can not wait till gametrailers.com does their comparisons.....LOL...or kotaku.com.......

[chanto23]

game was made on PC then ported to 360 and PS3 in that order

http://www.psu.com/Resident...

[ia_studio]

you can't port something from the ps3 to the 360, i mean blu-ray and it has more spu's

[aiphanes]

It was developed on the PC...then ported to the Xbox 360 and PS3...

So it looks like capcom is doign a good job...at least there is no screen tearing in the PS3 version....

[TruthBTold]

What I was wondering is why compare component shots when if they say they are doing these comparison for owners of both consoles why not try to make them look their best too see which puts out the best definition available which is HD. Why go back in technology? From component IMHO the 360 has better details. (The PS3 version is when you put the mouse on the picture right?) I hope they take HD shots to see if it changes the display. They said they will post up a video comparison but I have a feeling it will be in component output again. The video comparison we saw a while ago you couldnt see any difference between the two. Dont remember if that was done in HD.

[Karum]

When it comes to HSMI 1.2 vs 1.3 I don't think there is much difference when it comes to video, I think 1.3 offers more support for audio rather than video but don't quote me on that.

But with that said I agree that for a real comparison, especially when going into detail they should at least make sure that the circumstances of the comparison are optimised for each console. Both should use HDMI, TV should be clibrated correctly, video settings on the consoles properly set up etc.

Using component cables is stupid for a proper comparison since it doesn't provide the best picture quality.

[chanto23]

it makes me happy to see that they are making a great port :)
The graphical differences is a result of the porting process. Happens to any game that is ported from a platform to another, some details get enhanced while some other get worse. Anyways the game looks awesome port or not.

Plus this is the same demo played at E3 on july...so these details might had been addressed for the retail version.

@below...please read before you talk http://www.psu.com/Resident...

[Handsome_Devil]

read post #7,,,

[aiphanes]

http://www.gamepro.com/foru...

Resident Evil 5 Producer Masachika Kawata has questioned the idea that developing a PlayStation 3 version of a multiplatform game is significantly harder than developing one for Xbox 360.

"I can't really say that one platform is proving more problematic than the other," he told Kikizo in an interview.

Kawata subsequently qualified his comment, acknowledging that similarities between the Xbox 360 hardware and the PC, Resident Evil 5's lead development platform, made work on the former system comparatively straightforward. "This game is being developed in Capcom internally on PC hardware. When it comes to porting directly from PC-based hardware, the console that's easier to work with is, naturally, the 360."

But he insisted that PS3 was far from the programming nightmare some commentators have it. "The PS3 is often said to be more difficult. As someone developing for it, though... I haven't found it to be too tough."

This may, however, have more to do with the flexibility of Resident Evil 5's engine than the nature of the platform. "With our proprietary engine, the MT Framework - it's an engine we specifically made for development on next-gen consoles - one of its particular strengths is ease of porting to different platforms."

Resident Evil 5 is down for release on 5th March 2009 in Japan, and 13th March 2009 in North America and Europe

here we go with comparisons again gameplay is similar on both consoles right then whats the big deal

also Carbide ur kiddin right Bioshock 2 is going to look way better than resident evil 5

still killing zombie like people will make me buy this game

Is it? How do you know that when nothing's been shown yet? bioshock 1 certainly doesn't look anywhere near as good as Res 5...tho that doeesn't stop it being one of the best games this gen. Res 5 must be the best looking multiplat I've seen so far so saying Bioshock 2 is gonna look way better is crazy!
"here we go with comparisons again gameplay is similar on both consoles right then whats the big deal"
So for this game all that matters is gameplay because these screens appear sharper on the 360 but for Killzone 2, graphics are the be all and end all?

[Magic_The_Celt]

Hmm... if this where the full game i would go for the 360 version, but as he points out there seems to be different builds.

So, i shall wait for the completed game comparison before i make my choice.

[Chicken Chaser]

I don't know whos the lead system ..but atleast in those comparisons ..the xbox version does look better in most screens.. the article even says:

" In summary, at this time, it appears that the Xbox 360 version is a few builds ahead of the Playstation 3."

..nothing big actually... aside from the Green xbox version and the red ps3 version color palettes ..both look really good

[baum]

That the 360 is a year older and half as cheap. Considering the PS3 came out a year later and costs twice what the 360 does, it should be able to pull off crysis-like graphics with ease when it's not so. The difference in cost and launch is probably the Blu-ray player.

If you add value, reliability, PS3 architecture and potential into the equation then I may agree, but still, the PS3 should blow the 360 out of the water with that price point in pretty much every sense of the word and it doesn't. It does on some aspects but not on every aspect, especially not on the most apparent ones.

[HighDefinition]

"the PS3 should blow the 360 out of the water with that price point in pretty much every sense of the word and it doesn't. It does on some aspects but not on every aspect, especially not on the most apparent ones."

I think Sonys ENTIRE 2009 lineup......

Starting w/ Killzone2, kinda does that.

[baum]

Then PS3's absolute superiority will always remain in question. I love Blu-ray's ability to play HD movies, and I don't doubt it enhances the game experience, but if Sony truly wanted to make games better than on Xbox 360, they should have added a better GPU, more RAM and a 250 GB HDD on every SKU. The price would have been the same as it is now, the game capabilities would have been the same since you could have installed up to even 50 Gig games on the HDD, but the graphics would have blown the 360 out of the water, and so would have other gameplay additions.

I hope for Sony's sake and their investor's sake that winning the format war was worth more than remaining first place in the game industry.

But hey, at least PS3 is way more reliable and has exclusive games and services with a lot more polish to them than on 360 for the most part, which should count for something.

[Sarcasm]

You cant blame the PS3 for the multiplatform process. Multiplatform games are just that, on multiple platforms. Meaning they will just shoot to make each game as equal as possible. There will always be minor differences because of the differences in how the hardware does everything.

But it doesn't take a blind monkey to tell that exclusive games are the ones that's going to push the system, 360 or PS3. Or any console for that matter.

[Karum]

Even PC's can't pull off Crysis like graphics with ease. You need to drop a few grand on a top of the line rig to achieve the optimal graphical abilities of Crysis.

Also, Killzone 2 says hi to your opinion.

[razielsonofkain]

it these damn multi-plat games, they just dont take the time to develop the ps3 version the same becuz its multi - if it were exclusive it'd get the work needed on it done. Meh 3 months, maybe their just taking their time filling their 50 gig disks :)

on an unrelated matter, PS3 did knock xbox out the water with erm... lets say... MGS4 :)

[baum]

Although I do agree that GT5, Killzone 2, Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2, and MGS4 have the best graphics on a console game to date, we still don't know what they would look like on Xbox 360. Gears 2 has nothing on these games, and a few multiplatform games have edged the 360 versions.

However, on some multiplatforms, the PS3 has been edged out. I'm not saying PS3 is worse, I'm saying there should be no shadow of a doubt that the PS3 is better considering the price, the time and the hype. I bet Assassin's creed would be considered one of the best looking PS3 games had it been exclusive; Lair and Haze look great if you ignore the fact that they suck. And last but not least, Final Fantasy XIII is coming to both when it was originally said to be "impossible to do" on 360.

Let's just admit that Sony screwed up with the PS3's architecture. Had they used an improved 8800 instead of an improved 7800 (or more cell processors instead), and had they used 512 of XDR RAM or a bit more due to the memory hogging PS3 OS, these questions would be non-existent.

Instead, thanks to Sony making the PS3 more powerful but very hard to optimize in order for you to see why it's better, you see these kinds of arguments. After all, perhaps the processors in the PS3 do deliver much more power, but with less flexible RAM and a less flexible GPU unlike on 360 which is so flexible that you can get great results in little time.

The only way I could justify buying a PS3 over a 360 are its exclusives, its features that I would still get on 360, Backwards Compatibility (60GB) and reliability, not its performance over its rival. And the only way I can justify waiting an additional year after the 360 came out is not only those points, but also the fact that the PS2 was still alive and kicking with new and great games in 2006. Again, not real world performance and much less performance on paper.

[DrJones]

I would have much rather preferred that Sony gave the PS3 more ram and a stronger gpu instead of investing in blu ray. That way, they would have a more powerful console AND it would cost the same as now.
The downside would be no blu ray support and the machine would have to use standard dvd format, meaning switching discs on bigger games for example.
But the graphics would still be much better than the 360 on multiplatform titles, and the higher pricetag could then be better justified in my opinion.

[DELTABOY04]

ps3 version is pretty bad guys...scroll over to see ps3 version
http://www.the-horror.com/i...

[gameraxis]

recent video's from gamersyde, showed ps3 version and chain saw didn't look like that, sorry to say it, but these pics look EXACTLY what they would look like if the rgb setting isn't turned onto full, its a same but most people hook component cables up and wonder why the games look different...

People trust me i'm not flamming, this article is a fail THEY ARE BOTH IDENTICAL!!

[Xwow2008]

u want to tell us xbox360 is more powerful than ps3?
go see kz2, 10x the gfx in Re5.
the same talk about multi platform games.

[Shadow Man]

nobody is talking about killzone 2

[Ichiryoka]

But imagine RE5 optimized for PS3 on the killzone 2 engine. well if that was the case, we wouldn't be having this dicussion now would we? You would see the difference for yourself. So take it how you will.

[Sonyfanclubpresident]

another blow to the once great console king!
The better version of this game will definitely help a lot of consumers choose the right system.

Us poor droids,we really needed this one to be on par with the 360s version.........sniffle sniffle.

[Ichiryoka]

??????

[DELTABOY04]

proof is in the pudding...so far the ps3 build vs 360 build...ps3 build looks pretty dam bad compared to the 360...hope they iron this out soon. I really want to get it on my ps3 but, if i was going to spend $60 i'll would have to get the one with better quality

[lokiroo420]

Its up for debate, do you want the screen taring or worse textures, both will be better than the demo, we can be sure.

[ia_studio]

this pic is photoshop tricks, believe me I can tell.
http://www.the-horror.com/i...

[Meus Renaissance]

I think the PS3 version needs the RGB mode in Full because the image quality is identical to what you would see when that mode is in Limited; it restraints focus and colour.

[FantasyStar]

Putting RGB in Full won't solve everything unless your TV sets supports the full RGB scale. Otherwise you'll get the White/Black crush and make your picture look muddy.

[DNAgent]

They both suck.

[Shadow Man]

You are just a CAPCOM hater anyways

[BLUR111]

How can anyone hate CAPCOM?!!!!

[DELTABOY04]

@HighDef..

Your right about the future line up its definitely on point...But the other guy is right also...whats to justify getting one right now if multiplat look and perform better on 360, it certainly doesn't look enticing to joe shmo consumer to buy a expensive console if the least expensive one is getting QUALITY games and ports.If your paying 400 bones for a game counsel the games better reflect that of what the hardware is capable of

[Ichiryoka]

ever wonder why multi-platforms perform better? It's because the developers try to make them equal, which is a pretty hard thing to do. One of the two are going to fall short in different categories. Now take games optimized for each system.

I'll pick Gears 2 annnd lets see MGS4...

Now you tell me which runs better? were there even glitches in mgs4?

I really don't know. but umm yeah you get the point.

[DELTABOY04]

[Strife Lives]

Comparison after comparison.will it ever end? Nobody really gives a damn.u have a 360? Then get it for that.if you have a ps3,get it on that. If u have both,get the 1 thats controller fits best in your hand.Really,the 360 and PS3 both have games that look better than this. . . . .,This is still the frame engine.just an upgrade from DMC,and apparently it was build with the PC in mind. Weird. .but anyway.I think Final Fantasy 13 and KZ2 wipes the floor with this graphically

[DrJones]

Judging from the 200 or so comments on this article I would say otherwise.

[Stryfeno2]

360 version for me from day 1.

[Foliage]

RE5 isn't a day one purpose for me, way too many exclusive PS3 games to look forward to. I can see why it would be a day one purchase for a 360 owner though, what else is there to buy?

[Stryfeno2]

I have both consoles...Day one purchases are KZ2 for PS3, SF4 and RE5 on 360 for me. I like XBL online party system.

[Foliage]

I'm still on the fence with SF4. I'm a huge SF fan, but I just have not been sold on SF4 yet.

[Hot_tea]

"I have both consoles...Day one purchases are KZ2 for PS3, SF4 and RE5 on 360 for me. I like XBL online party system. "

Rofl good luck playing those noobs with that pos fisher price D-pad.

[jackdoe]

Well, for the non tech saavy, the PS3 version is slightly more blurred due to the use of Quincunx AA. However, some of the other differences are disappointing and hopefully fixed for the final release.

[dkgshiz]

Thats to bad.

[dkgshiz]

How about waiting for the the full version of the game. Its 3 months away.

[Jazz4108]

@dkgshiz

" - hmm its a demo
How about waiting for the the full version of the game. Its 3 months away. "

and Jazz says:

And thats what xbox 360 fans are saying about killzone 2. Hell there isn't even a demo to killzone 2

[MUNKYPOO]

munkypoo says to jazz:

there is a beta out and a lot of people have played it

[dkgshiz]

Not just for the 360 or PS3. But both versions look like poo. After Deadspace came out. I have no interest in RE5 anymore.

[tako2000]

all i want to ask is...the demo come out already !?!?!?!?

[MGOelite]

jeez they both have problems, its like listening to a bunch of people who have drunk a bit too much

ps3: lower shadows and lower textures AT THE MOMENT
360: screen tearing and LESS shading in places AT THE MOMENT

it even clearly says that the 360 version is a couple of builds ahead. WAIT FOR THE THING TO BE FINISHED AND RELEASED BEFORE COMPARING!

[Foliage]

I don't even see the point in a comparison when the builds are not from the same time period. It must be a slow news day.

I just hope the latest PS3 build doesn't have that terrible green tint that the 360 version has. That looks like crap, it's as if they are trying to cover up the washed out colours on the latest 360 build.

[Sonyfanclubpresident]

"just hope the latest PS3 build doesn't have that terrible green tint that the 360 version has. That looks like crap, it's as if they are trying to cover up the washed out colours on the latest 360 build."

just like like Metal Green Solid 4

Let's see,
you have 9 bubbles?
You must be a Sony PS3 fan..........HAHA,I'm right.
N4 Sony G

It's a good thing I'm the president lol

[mxdan]

@SonyFanclubPresident

Dude your obnoxious and childish.

You represent yourself.

It's kinda pathetic really. That you would go to such lengths to bash the competition.

[Snake Raiser]

BIG BOSS will snap your neck. (snap) You have obviously not played the game... the first act is a desert. desert=no green.

Also, at the end of the article it says that the 360 build is a few builds ahead. aka it is closer to being completed. What they would do as they are finishing the ps3 version (or any version of any game) is add the dust effects ect. that are mentioned in this article.

[ultimolu]

But teh 360 version is teh superiooooorz!

Did you not know that?

It kicks so much ass that it turns the PS3 version into stone!

[SpenserTracy]

When I look close like you guys I see only details like oh the 360 versions got better sharper textures than the PS3. However I think the 360 version is ugly compared to the PS3 version. It's far to gritty and to few enviroment effects. When I look at the lighting and the shadowing and the textures and the AA and compare it to the 360 version, the PS3 wins by far. The PS3 version is smoother, more realistic looking, dear I say more film looking. I bet that when this game releases, the PS3 version will beat the 360 version with ease. I still don't understand why 360 people think that it is always lower res textures, I'll tell you why its because they don't understand that the 360 cannot create the same smoothness that the PS3 can. It cannot recreate the right ligthing, the feel and trademark look of the PS3. It's not about being the sharpest grittiest look, it's about the best film look. I dont think I will overturn any 360 fanboys with this cause they made their choise, and I made my choise cause I didn't like the 360 gritty dark to sharp look, period. Im so glad they decided to smooth the PS3 version cause when you play a game for several hours and the screen just is to crisp and the game look oldfashioned in terms of effects (none) you just destroy the fun of the game. To me the PS3 version is the obvious choise and if you cannot se this you are blind. PS. If you want oversharpend images, just turn up the sharpness and the contrast even further and you will get the 360 gritty look. Remember though you will loose alot of dynamic color range and less shadow detail, but you will get the 360 look.
Have fun... And Happy new Years to all of you.

[PS360PCROCKS]

Um, ok love your console, that's fine. But your so completely wrong and one sided it's not even funny. The 360 version is the obvious superior version in almost every screen. The plants are ugly, jaggy and have no texture. The walls, buildings, enemies have no texture. if that's what you mean by more smooth than sure your 100% right. I don't care how much you love your PS3, but the 360 is obviously superior.

[smturner68]

It's strange, because sometimes the blurrier ps3 images look cool in their own right. I was thinking of one of the images, it's soft focus look reminded me of that look of Metal Gear Solid 4. Nobody can deny how cool that game looks. I wonder if they ever made it for the 360(which I doubt they do), if it would stay the way it looks, or if the graphics would end up a bit more oversharpened(compared to the ps3 version). It certainly wouldn't necessarily look better if it was any sharper. That said, it would seem easier to DEsharpen the 360 graphics on RE5 than to sharpen up the ps3's blurrier textures. Just my thoughts.

[OGharryjoysticks]

Capcom develops for PC and 360. They developed Devil May Cry 4 for the PS3 and it ran smoother and looked better on PS3, but they haven't developed for PS3 since from my understanding.

[smturner68]

Show me a link that shows a difference, let alone differences as big as we see with the article we've been referencing for the RE5 demo graphics comparison.

[rrodhaha]

LMAO! the demo is a VERY old build for PS3.

xbots have to pay just to play co-op...lol

[ugabugaz]

Both consoles were hooked up to component. Why the heck is this comparison even being made? You're suppose to make each version the best it can look, not downscale.

[PS360PCROCKS]

downscale? what? component can do HD just fine, games on my 360 look the same through component as they do through HDMI. Their is no "downscaling" at all, the games almost guaranteed running 720P @ 30FPS

[PS360PCROCKS]

Wow, welcome to the blurfest PS version. The PS3 version is blurrier than all hell.

[Solotov]

This comparison shows the amount of detail that is lost for the PS3 version. Just look at the textures on the wall and characters.
http://www.the-horror.com/i...

[PS360PCROCKS]

that's gotta be some sort of design decision at some point, because my god the obvious differences in texture is unbelievable. Does Capcom really care that little?

[Qorious]

The 360 version looks better. The textures look better, and there are also less blurring in some objects. Either way, I'll get the PS3 one since that's the only console I have so far. And for people with both consoles, I can understand if they chose the 360 version instead. If I had both consoles I would have chosen the 360 instead as well, but oh well.

[smturner68]

You win the award for the most unbiased ps3 only owner ever. I have both systems and I usually buy the 360 version. I'm surpised that the Sony regulars haven't invaded this thread yet to put disagree at least 15 times per pro-360 comment.

[anubis12]

well those are some obvious pictures

[power of Green]

This issue reflects in PS3's sales.

[silverchode]

isnt it past your bedtime?

[BillGatesMom]

So ill be playing Killzone 2.

As far as the comparison none of you could tell either or in motion. End of story.

But yea who cares ill be playing Killzone which hands down whoops either of these versions beyond recognition.

Killzone 2 proves its not the machine its the developers.

[power of Green]

Killzone 2 would be better on the 360.

[Shane Kim]

Killzone 2 wouldn't work on 360.

[eliasg]

lol, so true green :D

[McDaygo]

Game looks great on both. If this is as good as RE4 I don't care if I play it with dreamcast graphics.

[FantasyStar]

Man, the 360 Version's got my vote. The pictures speak for themselves. Disappointing that 3 years later: Capcom still can't get PS3 development right. I'd hate to see how Dead Rising would look on PS3. For all we know, half the zombies will be missing in the PS3 Version.

[smturner68]

The reason I say so, is because they obviously put the same texture data into the two systems, and the systems display them differently. It's the same as when you see graphics card comparisons. A certain game software/program will basically be the same, but the hardware and it's drivers display things a bit differently. This is why people have said repeatedly that the 360 has better graphics hardware. It does. It's also a reason that I believe that the awesome games on the ps3 could also be done on the xbox 360. The big difference, is that Sony has better first party developers. THAT is the reason some current and upcoming ps3 games looks so beautiful. The xbox COULD run them, but won't because they will never be released for it! That's what you guys should go on, not try to say the hardware is better! You are wasting your energy trying to prove something that's not provable! Just say that the software is better(which is still up for debate) and leave it at that!
OR...get both systems and enjoy the best of both worlds.

[Anon1974]

They state right in the article that the 360 version is a few builds more along than the PS3 version at this time and they're looking forward to having the finished version. People are bound to make comparisons at this point but I like to wait for the finished product. Look at what happened to Bioshock. The demo came out and some of the textures looked like ass but the final version of the game on the PS3 was fantastic.

[THC CELL]

ps3 is the best to buy on Resident evil 5

Who cares whats what over a demo

[InMyOpinion]

It should not come as a surprise anymore that multiplat games usually look better on the Xbox 360.

[kingboy]

Ported pc /360 games u mean to say..the reverse tells a different story though.try porting from ps3/360/pc and you`ll guaranteed different and finer results

[smturner68]

Give me an example of this. the only one that was even close was Burnout Paradise. That's the only one with a teeny tiny difference that may have gone to the ps3...which wasn't enough for me to get it over the xbox360/live version. It's more fun to talk to the other players, and have them have headsets and be able to talk back to ya!

Do you have any concrete examples of games having the ps3 as the lead platform, and having the 360 version not able to keep up?

[kingboy]

Unfortunately there's few of which i can relate to at the moment but it`s a proven theory backed by a handful of talented developers notably first party,..(Epic, Tecmo, Naughty & Dog, Criterion..just to name a few)Things equate more on each of the respective platforms when made on ps3 and ported on 360/pc as oppose to the other way around..

[Anon1974]

There is still the odd game that sneaks out that looks slightly better on the 360 if you pause, squint, if the lighting in the room is just right and you look at the second rock in the back and exam the shadow it might look slightly crisper. However, these games are certainly in the minority and have been for some time now.

[TrevorPhillips]

Why are they comparing this its just a demo and the demo is like 6-7months old it looks better now

[Kain81]

what next pre-alphas and than Pre-pre alphas.
Thats Stupid the demos are 7 month old

[Hot_tea]

Why do tons of multi platform games have a kind of 'blurring' of fine texture detail in ps3 renders?
Now on my ps3 games (exclusives) Ratchet, Uncharted, Wip3out HD, Metal Gear Solid 4,LBP etc the games a crisp close up or not.

But on some multi platform releases like this, DMC, COD4, and many others ther is a definate slight loss of fine texture detail on ps3 versions.

Now I'm not a graphics guy but could it be that texture code for PC based machines (ie PC and 360) does not render correctly on the ps3's custom architecture? now this seems to not make sense as Nvidia make chips for pc's too so that's what is rendering the image, but I can't think of any other reason?

Again, the non multi platform titles have amazing texture clarity?
Anyone help me here? (kudos btw to 360 version , looks nicer)

[Chrissy]

Deja vu:\

360>ps3

Its just obvious now. Dont know why the comparisons are needed:\

EDIT: Holy sh*t!! Were back were this gen started. Its a night and day difference. ps3 is getting dated

[Hot_tea]

Thanks.

[ottoenie]

people, people, just calm down, they both have issues (no offence against fanboys), they still have 2-3 months, until march or something like that, a lot of things can happen in that period, did you look at motorstorm 1 ? i know you can't compare it to re5, but in the last 2 months the game's quality gained from damn low to pretty good, i think this is the same case, when re5 is released they will look identical.

[Sgt_Bon3head]

The game looks great on both consoles. But the xbox 360 version looks slightly superior in terms of graphics. I noticed that the 360 version has sharper and clearer textures.

[Veneno]

But to me, the lighting on PS3 in many of the screenshots makes the scene appear more "realistic". Lighting is one of ps3's strongest points.

[Anon1974]

Sam Houser of Rockstar noted this too saying that the lighting effects made GTA feel more realistic and softer and the color gave it a grittier and more cinematic feel. Personally, I prefer the slightly blurred effect that seems more real as opposed to super detailed textures jumping out at me all the time, more like how a camera sees the world and not a computer. I find it just makes me more conscious of the fact that I'm playing a game as opposed to being a bit more subtle. Sometimes less is more.

[Giriath]

Unlike what seems to be most of you, I own both consoles. And while a lot of differences in those screenshots could be due to the owner not calibrating his TV properly to each console, there are clearly a few features missing in the Playstation 3 version.

You can't deny that the self-shadowing that is present on Sheva due to her headset and hair isn't there in the Playstation 3 version. In no way is this game breaking, it's still an early build and these features may not have made it into to the game before the demo was released. But it gives me who own both consoles and obviously want the "better" version, no matter how abysmal those differences are, a reason to wait for a comparison come release.

And with Killzone 2 and Eternal Sonata (PAL) releasing in late February, I won't mind the wait.

[Chrissy]

I guess Stringer can once again say that ps3 is back on life support. It kinda feels 06 all over again. Ps3 getting trounced in sales and 360 games looking much much better.

[mrmikew2018]

@Arsenic13 that was good comparison, some the xbox 360 look better and some the ps3 look better. But I think you make yourself sound like a 360 cheerleader when you make statements like "if you can't see the 360 version is better than Ps3 than you are blind" Remember stick to facts, don't put your personal opinions in it.

[Sabre2922]

Since I own both a PS3 and 360 I really have no overall preference.

These screenshots are basically the same a few pics looks SLIGHTLY better on the PS3 and a few look SLIGHTLY better on the 360.

Im picking up a copy for my shiny new PS3 first as the Blue-Ray discs are damn near scratch proof when compared to the 360 discs that are almost as bad about one scratch ruining a disc as the old Dreamcast GD Roms were a few years ago.

I will later pick up the 360 version for the achievements.

Hell I have both the Gamecube and PS2 versions of the game and I actually prefer the PS2 port over the Gamecube original since I like the Dualshock 2 more than Gamecube controller even though the GC ver is the better looking game.

It all comes down to preference and which console you would rather play it on.

I always played my RE games on the Playstation consoles (and few on DC) so I prefer to get the PS3 version first.

I gotta admit it will be kinda strange playing a RE game on an Xbox console since there was NEVER any RE games on the Xbox 1 before.

[Ngai]

i just watched RED: Degreneration - was allright. Deffintely wanting to try Resident Evil 5 out.

[thereapersson]

There's no reason why we should be spending this much on a PS3 when similar or better results can be achieved on the 360. The only reason the PS3 was so expensive is because of Blu-Ray, and it's not making that much of a difference this generation with the majority of games.

[Ngai]

Try: Uncharted, Mgs4, Killzone2 ;)
A game isnt going to be magicily different because its either on ps3 or 360. It's the same game, developed for 2 consoles. It's no different. Its not like its going to be better on ps3! I'm glad people do think it needs to be better on ps3.. so obviously people think 360 is worser then ps3. But again! There won't be any difference in multiplatforms. Again, try: Uncharted, Mgs4 and Killzone2. O and btw.. your argument about money.. you serious? The ps3 sold for 333,- euros including lbp. Now get this: the wii sells for 250,- without shiz. xbox pro 250,- with 2 stupid lame games. U joking right about it being expensive? Its value is more worth then what everyone is paying for it.

[pornflakes]

KZ2 on 360 would own the pS3 version...

Too bad infinity ward will blow KZ2 away with COD MW2.

[360 man]

pornflakes ur right

and i think the sony fans know ur right

[kazan]

how boring some people can get in this life...funny

[felidae]

i don't even need to look at these pics - i bet the 360 version looks better (and probably performs better, too).

same old story

[kazuma]

oh you mean like devil may cry 4 or burnout paradise? lol

[360 man]

360 is high detail ps3 is medium detail

the fact that were even coparing them is a direct fail on sonys end

they promised a system that was superior to all competitive systens

they also said ps3 would be a supercomputer

they bragged and boasted showing meaningless tech demo after tech demo whilst microsoft just focused on bringing good games to their platform

for these reasons and other reasons, PS3 you shall lose this console war

[Shane Kim]

And I'll happily laugh in your face when they don't.

[xg-ei8ht]

It's a shame the guy doing the comparison has no clue what he's talking about. ROFL.

Shadow quality 1 pic.

That's not shadow quality, that is brightness you dumb idiot. Learn alittle will you.

Moving on.

Some bits look better on 360 some look better on PS3.

I'd wait until the final version.

But it won't matter what system you get it on, it's the same game, and most likely will look the same.

Enjoy it, for whatever console you buy it for.

[Anon1974]

Considering he's aware that these are different builds, why even do a comparison? Unless you have the same build of the game...what's the point other than to just ignite another useless flamewar?

[paracardium]

that website is retarded ..if they can't afford a hdmi cable then why do a comparison of anything...funny how xbots take the stupidest things and turn it to small victories for their inferior system.

Ps3 version will always be superior.

[felidae]

i think it's hard to top Dead Space but we will see

[bilbobob]

Yet another flamebait article. Since its developed on the p.c primarily I expect the 360 build to be further on. Of course this could just stay like it right to the the release build. Till then its nice to see the 'We are not fanboys really' 360 owners shouting already. It will be funny if this turns out to be a case of the tortoise and the hare.

But then since Capcom stated that they could do wonders for the 360 in Japan I bet I can see whats coming.

[Shane Kim]

It has allready been comparisons on IGN or GT for a couple of weeks ago, and the PS3 version looked miles better. I dunno what this guy on this website are doing but whatever it is, its wrong.

[AnttiApina]

Where is the PS3 demo?

[kazuma]

it's out in japan if you buy a ps3

[AnttiApina]

So no demo on PSN? DAMN!

[kazuma]

not for now, but north america and europe are getting psn demos, japan probably will get one too in early 2009

[Avto]

Wow, Capcom just made a huge leap backwards in terms of multi platform development I mean DMC4 looked almost the same on both PS3 and X360, but this, PS3 version looks like... I mean it could run on Pentium 4 and GeForce 6 series, pathetic Capcom.

[peeps]

why not using a hdmi cable? its why all these comparisons are kinda pointless. if i play this on my 360 and then go round my mates and play on his ps3 then i doubt i will actually be able to tell any difference. i'm sure most people use hdmi so its obviously better to do a comparison with the output that the gamers are using.

[knightoftears]

Wow, it's never going to end with these useless comparisons. Why are DEMOS even being compared? Does anyone ever realize the actual game will look different and better, this is only for demo purposes. So this comparison means what? NOTHING..kthnx!! Just be happy you get to play it. Compare the real game when it's released and stop wasting our time with crap.

[Sikct9a]

Man I can't wait for this game. Btw the first comment was just lame.

[ultimolu]

Dumbass 360 fanboys. It amazes me how they're screaming superiority over a freakin' demo. Capcom already stated that both versions would look the same. But noooo, we just get a magnifying glass to exmine skulls and face textures and all kinds of crap.

On a demo!

For shame.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

The PS3 must be in some serious pain from having to bend over and take so much.

[karlostomy]

even the demo Multiplat-builds are inferior on ps3.
just check this:
http://www.the-horror.com/i...

No surprise there. That trend was established ages ago.

I have to say though, that the texture differences were quite extreme. In most 360 shots, i could make out skin pores, wall details and individual beard hairs. The same shots on ps3 returned more vaseline smear and were bland.

I am REALLY disappointed that the ps3 version was not up to scratch again.

Here's hoping the final ps3 release will improve on these defects somewhat.

[ultimolu]

Oh dear God karl, shut-up. You can see issues on both versions of the game because it's not the final build!

360 fanboys once again screaming superiority!

[Parappa The Rappa]

easy there Lady J....

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Thats because it always is, PS3 lost again so stop whining and crying about it. No one in the entire gaming world sheds more tears than a droid.

Droids once again screaming "foul and making up excuses" it isn't like this has happened one or two times, it's about 98% of the time. Xbots deal with "RROD" because it's the only ammo you have, but we "Xbots" have rockets, guns, and bombs to use against you. Your games look like sh!t, and they been looking that way for over two years now, and you know it. Thats why you droids are always so pissy, playstation 3 went from ahhhhh to ehhhhh.

but but teh cell

[karlostomy]

Oh dear god, Juuken.

Are you blind, girly?
Why are you defending the inferior ps3 version like a nutjob?

Just suck it up, sit this out and wait until the final game comes out and the definitive comparisons are made. Oh... hmmm... perhaps sit that out too.

You are making a fool out of yourself with your denial and damage control. You really are.

[Parappa The Rappa]

Im disappointed in you. How dare you raise your tone at Karl like that!
You will hold a civil tongue in this post, or I'll snip it out!
Lol.

Calm down kiddo. Its not that important.

[MRMagoo123]

plus if you retarded 360 fanbots read the article and did some research you would know that the ps3 demo is a couple of builds behind the 360 version which means the 360 version should look better. i just hope the ps3 doesnt have that weird arse green tinge and screen tearing the 360 does at the same build.If you disagree you dont like facts i suspect.

[karlostomy]

Yeh, I am disappointed in you too, Juuken.

It seems you are going downhill on a slippery slope.

[Spike47]

Seriously go play Gears of War 2 and calm the f*** down.

[tudors]

Component on Xbox-360 looks terrible anyway, the green tinge would not be there with HDMI or VGA, IMO the PS3 version has a smoother more realistic look, I can see there is a shadow problem sure but it looks good to me, I honestly do not know why they never use VGA, my Xbox-360 VGA cable not only looks better than Component and HDMI it also smooths imperfections out in games like GTA and Mass effect which have grainy shadows, thats right it removes the grain, it once looked washed out but once we got the reference level option VGA looks great on expanded, most know I like my Xbox-360 but just for the record check out the screen with the helecopter, the lighting in the PS3 version looks better, why am I defending the PS3? well because they both look good in there own right, I actually like that they look a bit different.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Now playstation fans say "it's gameplay that matters" then in other comments, they talk about Killzone. So which is it today, graphics or gameplay?

[jacen100]

yea 360 looks slightly better , also ii agree 1 minute its all about graphics , then next minute its all about gameplay. make up your f**** minds

[Mikey Mike]

nuff said!

[Magic_The_Celt]

Lol jesus look how hot this has got, is there going to be a demo in EU or US, BEFORE the release of the game? on either console?

Because i would much like to try it out myself before i buy this one..

[xg-ei8ht]

I can say adobe, but i really didn't want to.

[bobdog626]

Like i said before once BluRay Player,s reach 149.00 to 199.00 the PS3 is Done .There is no Real Reason to Buy one for that Price.Sony must Act Now in order to stay in the Game. Price Drop is a Must.

[Anon1974]

It still costs $450 US to make a PS3? At $400 it's still a deal and consumers obviously get that. Just look at how quickly the PS3 hit 17 million. At the end of two years the 360 was only at 13 million at a lower price point.

[Neurotoxin]

I`ve suddenly realized why these pointless comparisons are so important to the Fanboys.

And to think most people just have a porno mag under there bed.... Or a real life girl that talks and everything....

MMMMMMMMHHHH MOOOREEEE AAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (Ctrl-ALt-Splodge)

Lame.

[pangitkqb]

I recommend the same to anyone reading this. I love getting the best of both worlds. Right now I'm playing Resistance 2 on PS3 and COD:WAW, Nazi Zombie Mode, on 360.

I will be getting Resident Evil 5 for 360 because my tenant only owns a 360 and we are planning on going at it co-op. Same reason i got COD:WAW on 360.

AS far as this comparison is concerned, I think the edge goes slightly to the 360. How things will change upon release is yet to be determined. Having personally viewed HD comparison Videos of the game running on both platforms it was impossible to really tell a difference.

Happy Gaming.

[jay50282]

wen was the demo released for the ps3? WTF!!!!!!!

[jay50282]

when wasthe demo released for the ps3 whee can i get it.?

[djroberts]

The 360 version definitly looks better. The screen tearing would be a concern though.

[Mad_Rhetoric]

the 360 has better shaders and textures and shaper shadows, ps3 has a high contrast (but you can always change that on your tv)

[Tiberium]

Why is the ps3 still having trouble against a $200 machine?

[MRMagoo123]

Is it though retard 3fixme fanboy is it cos tomb raider says no and it was built on the 360 first but still sub hd.

[GUNS N SWORDS]

yeah, it's cause the game was made on 360 first.

[GUNS N SWORDS]

here's proof.

"world's first public playable demo of RE 5"

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

the beta was on a 360, and they admitted it.

[kazuma]

made on 360 first? hell no.

all mt framework games (dead rising, lost planet, devil may cry 4, resident evil 5) started their development in pc, then they move to ps3 and 360 development and optimization.

your showing a e3 2008 video as proof? dude microsoft showed that because apart from gears 2 and fable 2 they had nothing to show that wasn't multiplatform. (yeah i don't call lame games like lips and you're in the movies as good stuff lol)

ps3 version was present at e3 2008 AND playable.
http://www.gametrailers.com...

sorry about that, didn't mean to obliterate your argument =\

oh and the real difference between the two demos? the 360 build is clearly ahead of the ps3 one. that's it.
doesn't mean the final game will be like this. how do i know? well...let's just say devil may cry 4 turned out better on ps3 ^^

[MUNKYPOO]

he should have used a hdmi cable with the ps3. rgb isnt even on full and yes it does make a difference. lets wait for someone to do a better comparison on the real game.

[C_Dub]

According to these screens I would say indeed the 360 version looks like it has better textures and less blurring. But I'll probably get the game on PS3 because ResiEvil would feel more natural to me on PS.

[dirtrider]

ps3 fans are just as "blurry"! 360 kicks sony in the ass! ps3 is a movie player. again 360 wins all comparisons....nothing new to see here. glad microsoft made a next-gen console! hey droids enjoy, yet again a inferior game!

[CobraKai]

If only the 360 had the ps3's more natural color timing. Or if only the ps3 had the 360's textures. That's pretty much how I feel on the graphics. The real thing that matters to me, though, is if the game goes Bang Bang, I'm getting it on the 360 (RE5). If it goes Slash Slash (DMC4) i get it on the ps3.

[AriesFury]

Again, it's the same F'N game!

[mrmikew2018]

Chicken_Chaser are you a Xbox cheerleader or something? every time I read your comments, you always praising the 360, like they are the best thing since slice bread. Both systems are going to be identical, stop d*ckriding one system.

[Jikla]

Let's just stop comparing graphics on consoles and let's focus on the gameplay and story

[mrmikew2018]

I rather believe Capcom who said themselves both will be identical, there's no need to argue with any PS3 and Xbox 360 (especially 360) fanboys.

[Terror2k9]

people are gonna keep bringing killzone into it but from what i see that it looks like another halo but with better graphics but nothing i have never seen b4! I was not blown away like fanboys make it seem like the second coming of $$$$$...ohh please get over it that game looks just like halo with better graphics... halo never shocked me and neither will killzone 2! tell me what gameplay will killzone have thats different than any other first person shooter has done b4 i seen the trailers and guess what i could have called that game halo 4. so much hype i hope it sells as much as people say those are the best graphics they ever seen...for me i don't see it. Resident evil all the way ftw!

[Xbox is the BEST]

confirmed. Sony fanboys know that the final build will be the same, 360 tops the PS3.

[fuzion17c]

I'm glad to be a gameplay whore!

[xc7x]

lets let monkeys run these articles in the future

[Dannagar]

I have the RE5 demo for the Xbox 360 and I've been pleased with the progress of the game. I've never intended on getting a PS3 version even though I have that system. I am pleased that the Xbox 360 version is obviously superior based on these photo's; though we do have to wait for the final builds.

[Viatrophy]

about the comparisons... either way the game is going to look great on either platform, and is going to be a blast.

[omodis420]

Anyone that actual cares about these little differences is a total dumbAzz. "Oh no my PS3 version is so bad because there is a shadow problem and slightly lower res textures." That's it PS3 owners. It's time to sell your system.

THIS IS A JOKE TO ALL THE MORONS ON HERE THAT WILL DISAGREE AND GIVE ME NEGATIVE FEEDBACK. ITS SAD I WOULD EVEN HAVE TO PUT A DISCLAIMER ON THIS.

[tudors]

""the Xbox-360 has a better GPU and the PS3 a better PSU" PSU ?"

My bad, I meant CPU, why I said PSU I don't know, but unlike you I accept my mistakes, if you had a brain yourself you would have looked beyond this because clearly I was speaking about the difference between the Xbox-360 superior GPU and the PS3 superior Cell and what this means.

[Relentless39]

Dannagar who the hell did you get the resident evil 5 demo for the 360. I got to say 360 looks better.

[Lord Vader]

But... but... but...

teh powa' of teh cell ???

[dznutz00]

i find something wrong with this pics because it just feel like one is an early build and one is new and with little evidence that each pic is indeed 360 or ps3 but if they are both true to life pics of each demo then what the hell did capcom do
