Skate 2 PS3/360 Video Comparison

Gametrailers: "Does one console ollie past the competition?"

[TheColbertinator]

They both look good.Good job EA

[Snake Raiser]

BIG BOSS looked better than this on the PS2.
Really, this game does not look that good.
I would give it to the PS3 based on the details on the hands of the characters.... but it doesn't really matter for this game.

[TheHater]

and why am I not surprise this is coming from Lametrailers.com? The game might be good on both system, so just leave it at that. I haven't play either version to tell if the game is going to be good or not.

[Fishy Fingers]

Both platforms are getting a demo, so you can try before you decide whether to buy or not :)

[Masta_fro]

you'll find yourself looking for the tiniest reason to satisfy your inner console war bullsh!t.

the edges around the ps3 button prompts are smoother than the 360 button prompts...

im getting the ps3 version

[BLuKhaos]

In the beginning of the video you can see a little bit of sunlight refracting off the camera lens in the 360 version.So the 360 version is superior by .000000000000000001%.

[Fishy Fingers]

Huge difference, one has 360 button prompts, the other Playstation. It's really quite alarming :/

[Information Minister]

More alarming is the fact that even with button prompts, sometimes the staff at GT can't tell the difference between the 360 and the PS3 versions.

[Anon1974]

Ok, that made me laugh at loud. Not just type LOL, because I thought it was funny, but legitimately let out a belly chuckle. The way some people act like gametrailers is the definitive source for video comparisons you'd think they had all forgotten just how badly they were busted last year. Good to see some don't forget, and have a sense of humor about it!

[SL1M DADDY]

Oh no you didn't?!

Calling Gametrailers out for that Grid faux pas? Good on you mate!

[Hiruma Youchi]

The Only Noticable thing I saw in the comparison was the fact they looked the same. eat that GT.

[Aclay]

They both look the same to me. Kudos to EA for getting the PS3 versions of their games up to speed in 2008 and now into 2009.

[Oner]

Exactly +1

Bu Buh But teh multiplatz alwayz look betterz on teh 3sixT ten teh Ps3rd...

I am rolling my eyes so hard I can hypnotize someone!

yawn...

Lets do Kz2 vs Everything Else Ever Created on a Console.

[digger18]

I thought they both looked like last gen graphics :(

[wil4hire]

"Finally, it's worth noting how Skate 2 looks now that it has entered the final stage of polish. In short, the graphics won't immediately strike you as being better than those in the first game, but one thing that will--and this is a big one--is the frame rate. The jump from 30 to 60 frames per second makes every last move look that much more smooth, giving you a better appreciation for a game that already boasted some impressive animations. The animations involved in walking around without your board still looks pretty rough, which is disappointing, but the rest of your new moves, such as street plants and inverts, look quite nice.
"

This is going to be how all multiplat games perform from the first versions. I doubt we are going to see any significant jumps in tech, unless you have a ps3.(for the technically advanced exclusives) That doesn't mean you will enjoy multiplats less..

because graphics dont matter at all. Just gameplay ;)

[Snake Raiser]

Thank You, BIG BOSS in MGS3 looked way better than this.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

Whats up with the clock in the demo. I hate that crap.

[NiteWarrior]

Omgg cant wait any longer for the demo!

[The Captain]

A new year and the same old crap.

You want to see what system is better?? Why not compare these two games. This would stop the annoying comparison videos!!

[Nathan Drake]

They look the exact same.

/Comment

[Rice]

The game looks really fun, the only significant difference i spotted was the part near all the high rises, the textures seem more crisper on the 360 besides that the game looks a must rent.

[y0haN]

They look exactly the same as far as I can tell, really.

[I_am_rushin]

NO DIFFERENCE IMO.

[LONEWOLF231]

No difference whatsoever!

[Covenant]

They look the same.

So no need for any fanboy pissing contests.

[Knightofelemia]

Honestly both games look alike shame there was no blood when the guy nailed the car.

[VMAN_01]

Theres so many differences lemme just get my 1000x microscope and spot those differecnes for you guys

[Traveler]

I have actually played the demo and believe me, it looks good. In some parts it looks fantastic, in fact. Other parts look a little less good, but all in all it looks nice.

[fatstarr]

cant wait to get it :] the graphics look good well to me at least. lol i played skate then skate it hence why these graphics look better to me.

[Traveler]

They both look good. EA did a good job getting them equal. The first Skate was kind of disappointing on the PS3 to be honest and I am glad that EA listened to our complaints and made the PS3 version equal to the 360 version. I hope this is a trend.

[Highatus]

You can clearly see that he ollies higher on the 'Superior' version!

[unicorndeathcamp]

graphics on the demo, are consistent with those of tony hawk pro skater, the first one.

for both systems. i hope gamers can get along more and be more supportive in 2009.

[Wile]

They look the same. Moving on...nothing to see here.

[Highatus]

Except for...

the...

Roadrunner!!!!

GO!

[Wile]

ROADRUNNER!!!! WHERE!!!

Err...ummm....I mean...my lawyer says I can't chase him anymore. Well at least until my lawsuit against the ACME company is settled. :)

BUBBLES FOR YOU!

[MiloGarret]

Haha!

[Gue1]

Both look the same to me. Well done!

[Gue1]

double post sorry.

[SAiOSiN]

What the H is the point of these f-tarded comparisons. If anyone says the 360 one is superior, I'll slit your throat (jk jk). The Ps3 version is lead, so their pretty much identical.

[I_LOVE_MYSELF]

The demo sucked! It wasnt the gameplay that was bad... It wasnt even the level... Both were amazing just like Skate1... BUT the time limit sucked... I got a 360 downstairs and a PS3 in my room... I had SKATE on the 360 (1000 gamerscore on that sucker) and still played the demo on the PS3 a lot when I was upstairs because it let you have a long free skate session... SKATE2 will be amazing... Thats the impression I get from the demo...

O and getting off the board sucks... Moving objects sucks due to the controls BUT the final results just add to the essence of skateboarding... I knew getting off the board would suck and feel clumpy after playing Skate1 and prayed the feature wouldnt appear in the sequel but o well...

as for the vid... im deffo getting the 360 version its CLEARLY superior with visuals and I want to talk to other people when freeskating... The PS3's analogue sticks were better for SKATE1 though... But I am pro I can sesh with any controller

[Mitch_Cumstein]

I have 3 different accounts for the locations and didn't see it anywhere. Going back to check again.

[Darkseider]

It's full of stars! Sorry wrong thread.. I meant they look the same.

[cmrbe]

but the PS3 version looks better to me. I can see about 4 extra pixles for the PS3 version.

[Wile]

apparently the phantom disagree missed your sarcasm

[dcbronco]

They look exactly alike. Hasn't always been the case but PS3 owners might be able to mark this as the game that put the multiplayer curse behind them. If EA can do it, anybody can.

[BMS84]

I think they both look ok and don t see a lot of difference , but if you really wanna know it.. play the both versions on a full hd tv..

[karlostomy]

except for the purchase price of the consoles.

[Magic_The_Celt]

well done, you admited they look the same

was kinda let down by the retarded ending, we can assume the people buying the game already have a console so the price of it means nothing

unless you think, Skate 2 is a game which would make someone buy a console roflmfao

[karlostomy]

well... hmmm

i think my price comment stands for:

1. Those hundred+ multiplat games that run better on the 360
2. Those few multiplat games that run indentically on both
3. Those 5 multiplat games that run better on the ps3.

See what i am saying?

[Magic_The_Celt]

Just had to ruin it.. :P

will you be picking up the fable II dlc my xbot friend?

[notpill]

The first skate iteration was a lil' bit better on ps3 (graphically speaking) but the gamplay ...noowaaaay, choppy like a stop motion movie. I hope this one will be better.

[Dimitri]

For the first time ever a multi platform game is brighter or has a brighter contrast ratio on the PS3.

Normally it would be the 360 to have a bright, flashy backgroung..

[ph3lid]

i don't know what you've been playing but the 1st skate looks better on the 360 with less AA issues / framerate and online are horrible on the PS3.

if you own both consoles i would suggest to buy the game for the XBox 360 / always better when it comes to multiplatform games.

the sticks on the xbox controller work better for the tricksystem. the PS3 sticks feel "loose".

[Az]

Looks the same to me.

[N2NOther]

They look identical to me...I'm getting the 369 version because of the sticks...They're a bit stiffer so it makes manuals a bit easier to pull off...
