Resident Evil 5 - PS3 vs Xbox screenshots comparison

Eurogamer Portugal has release a screenshots comparison, from Resident Evil 5.

[MaximusPrime]

played and deleted it.

crap demo, not impressed

[HighDefinition]

But, do comparisons even matter anymore?

It`s pretty much common knowledge the PS3 is more powerful. Unless your delusional.

[MaximusPrime]

i havent looked at the video either. im not here to say which is better?

im here to say what i personally think of the demo's gameplay / storyline.

[HighDefinition]

But it`s definitely not for everyone, the controls take time to get use to (like most JP action games). If you like RE4, there should be no reason to not like RE5, IMO anyway.

[princejb134]

OK demo
could have been better
the controls remind me of dead space with top trigger and press either square (ps3)or X(360)
i only enjoyed it a little online

[Blaze929]

But i'll be damned if i was gonna start one of them levels ALL over becuase I died. So i deleted it. I'll picking this up on the 360 for personal preference however. Capcom devs on this seem to really like Gears of War since they keep mentioning it and the controls feel better on the 360 due to Gears which is why I think it comes off as a bit awkward to ps3 users and when i played it on the ps3 awhile ago.

comparisons, who cares. "supposedly" the ps3 version is from a old build.

[sonarus]

How are the controls similar to gears? Maybe i missed something but the only thing they changed was using right stick to look around.

Everything else is just like it was in PS2 days except for L1+R1 = shoot as opposed to L1+square. If thats what feels better to you then more grease to your elbows homie

[Why dis]

Figures you'd say that, the PS3 version has less detail/textures, has lighting and visual effects missing and seems to run at a lower resolution.

Wonder what KZ2 would look like on the 360.

[thebudgetgamer]

and it would look like 7 disks

:)

[Doppy]

I don't get why everyone says it sucks. I think everyone let themselves be tricked into thinking it's bad just because the majority of people are disappointed with the lack of what happened with the gameplay.

The game doesn't suck by any means, and if you truly know hoe to play the game is fast and action packed. Yes I too wish it was modernized, and yes the gameplay is the same as last gen games, but the last gen game (Resident Evil 4) was rated one of the best game for the year it came out, and it's still a really good game. Resident Evil 4 is not Gears of War, Call of Duty, Halo, Killzone, or Resistance, and that's the kind of mind set a lot of people have going into the game. Resident Evil 5 is not a bad game at all so stop pending it as one. If you don't like the gameplay then that's fine, but don't say its a bad game because its not.

So far

Graphics - 9
Gameplay - 8 (a slight improvement over Resident Evil 4)

[Danja]

well TBH the Demo isn't bad at all it's just that the game feels so similar to RE:4 , but overall im still getting this game im a big of the franchise , so it even means to play it for the Trophies I will..XD

[AlienGorilla]

...it obviously looks slightly better on the 360. Its slightly sharper and more detailed.

Honestly though, who cares?
F@cking nitpicking fanboys.

I will be playing it on my PS3 because i prefer the Dualshock. Not to mention that I played all of the other REs on PS consoles.

[thewhoopimen]

nice try why dis, but the only difference between the two versions is how anti-aliasing is being handled. One is using MSAA and the other is quicunx. Evidentally you gain some bluriness when employing Quicunx (PS3 version)But from what I've heard, in actual gameplay, you can't tell the difference.

[Antan]

"Wonder what KZ2 would look like on the 360."

Aside from coming on 3 or 4 discs, lack of 7.1 audio and so on.....

Is this the new "thing" now POG? If a PS3 game looks better than any 360 title ..."wonder what Game X would look like on the 360"? LMFAO!

Re-arrange the following.....Straws....Clutch ing......At.

Still misinformed as always POG/WHY DIS...............Keep popping your pills, the effect has a certain comedic value for the readers of N4G.

[Aquanox]

What a noticeable difference between both. I wasn't expecting this.

Look at the overall detail, hair, clothes, gloves, weapons, environments, everything shines in favor of the Xbox 360 version.

It seems that the little white console still has a lot of fight to bring.

[Homicide]

Yeah the 360 version looks better, and that 5GB install is pushing me to get the 360 version.

[Aquanox]

Check these out:

http://images.eurogamer.net...

It's not matter of just different AA techniques. The Xbox 360 definitely has much more facial detail in this screenshot.

[UnDone14]

I just downloaded and played the demo on the PS3. The screenshots posted on that crap website to represent the PS3 version are bullsh!t. The PS3 version has just as much detail as in the 360 screenshots.

The "forehead" textures as some have stated that looked bad in those screenshots, are no where to be found in the actual demo I'm playing.

The game looks really sharp, and I have a 720p tv.

[Why dis]

Liar.

The 360 version looks better but I do agree while in motion it wont matter as much other than the sharpness.

[gametheory]

Uh, no Aquanox, you are Wrong. Everyone realizes that you and Why dis are delusional; Why dis is "POG" so that's expected from him. Hell, your comments are usually pro-360 garbage so that's expected from you too, but just between you and me, I know that YOU unlike the rest of the fanboys are better than that.

Anyway, I saw the same pics as you without the need for you to point them out, and they look exactly the same except for the AA technique. Quite frankly in some pics the AA benefits the PS3 version and in others the 360 version has the edge. It's about personal preference.

Then again, it's obvious that Capcom isn't goint to take the extra time to push the PS3 harder because that would make the PS3 version better and would piss off Microsoft; you know, the company that paid them to put additional content on Dead Rising 2, Lost Planet 2, etcetera. :)

Capcom is probably pushing the 360 as hard as they can, while simply putting the PS3 version on par, as taking any additional advantage would probably lead to a bad relationship with Microsoft. xD

[na2ru1]

that after comparing both versions, they are identical. The texture patterns are no different in design nor sharpness.

THe only difference was the colour and brightness due to my TV settings for each component port and HDMI.

[Consoldtobots]

I wonder why the PS3 demo is over twice the size of the 360 version, must be using higher res textures.

that being said i find the gameplay much better in the PS3 version, went from ignore to rental.

[GUNS N SWORDS]

these are some captures i found. all point in the same direction, the ps3 version looks a bit less.

360 http://dot50cal.the-horror....
ps3 http://dot50cal.the-horror....

ps3 http://dot50cal.the-horror....
360 http://dot50cal.the-horror....

[Firestorm]

Downloaded and compared both demos. 360 version is definetly slightly more detailed. Pretty close tho, so nothing for ps3 owners to cry about. I also noticed that the 360 version seems to have much greater contrast.I tried changing the brightness setting in the games options but cannot get it to look as solid. I have the exact same settings on my TV for both consoles so im not sure if this is because the xbox version has better lighting or if the ps3 outputs a much higher gamma/ brightness

Ps3 demo is probably bigger in file size because of uncompressed textures or audio. Still doesn't look as good. I'll take compressed high res textures over uncompressed low res textures any day.

[iHEARTboobs]

Looks really great on both systems. The most complaints i hear about regarding this game are the controls. I hope they don't suck. Hopefully they're not that bad and the game kicks ass.

[InMyOpinion]

To all you saying Killzone 2 would have to be on 4-5 discs if it was on the 360.

How come the Resident Evil 5 demo is only 472Mb on the 360 and 942Mb on PS3? On top of that the 360 version looks slightly better. Makes you wonder, huh? ;)

[SL1M DADDY]

Do as I did and put your TV in PIP mode with an equal split screen (if your TV is capable) and then load up both demos. Taking a gander myself I can safely say that this comparison is bull.

[Aquanox]

gametheory -

The only time when the strange PS3 AA technique has given the console good results has been with GTA IV, and that was for a number of factors that strangely, it made the game look a bit more "real" even when the detail was softened by this technique.

In this case though, it's a completely different situation. the PS3 AA can blur some details but can't flatten, for example, the beard in the close up shot. In the Xbox 360 case it looks resembles much more individual hair whereas in the PS3 looks like old blured fashion texturing.

The reason developers use this technique on the PS3 is because its less taxing while the Xbox 360 is capable to apply it virtually without a hit by using the EDRam.

Sure the PS3 has a lot of power inside, and Killzone 2 is proof of that but in terms of detail, there are bottlenecks in the system that prevents it to surpass the Xbox 360. Even Killzone 2 texturing isn't as sharp as RE5 (Xbox 360 version) or Gears of War 2.

So please stop pretending this is only matter of different AA techniques - even the use of this technique in the PS3 instead of proper AA is a sign of troubled developing - there's more than that and we're talking about one of the best looking games of this generation... right up there in the Top 3 with Gears 2 and KZ2 I must say.

[get2sammyb]

Guys honestly. The difference is SO microscopic that you won't notice it when playing at all. We're talking a MICROSCOPIC difference here. And yes I'll agree is some images 360 looks sharper, and on the other hand I'll agree that in some images PS3 looks smoother but EITHER way the differences are so TINY that when in motion there is NOTHING to argue.

I think the kudos goes to Capcom here for making a game that makes the best of both systems. I wish more developers would follow suite.

[edhe]

But these comparison aren't about the game remember, it's about why a console that's 2x the cost of it's competitor is outputting lesser quality pictures whilst being able to hold higher definition textures uncompressed.

It's ridiculous that it's still the case.

Anyway, demo was crud. Might give it a second spin but it's not my boatfloat.

[tplarkin7]

Both versions look very good, but the 360 is sharper. If I had to guess, the PS3 is faking anti-aliasing by making the whole screen blurry.

[Aquanox]

^^

The difference "could" be hard to notice for an untrained eye in the resized shots.

Click on the Full Size images to see them clearer.

[Yipee Bog]

why would one stop to shoot if hes got like 15 baddies coming straight at him? it feels really slow, part of the reason I find there is no scare factor. you shouldn't have like 20 seconds to shoot 2 guys 10 feet away from you. overall I was very unimpressed with the demo. I didn't get to play the ps3 demo so I cant comment for that, but I thought the 360 demo looked pretty nice. Actually better than I expected.

[jBat17]

yep, it's probably a tv setting.. i have edge enhancement on my samsung tv. when it's off the texture looks muddy and that's what i see on these comparison shots. it really makes a significant difference, particulary on the textures and details..

i wonder whether xbots turns off this feature on the ps3 shots..

[pixelsword]

Because after Heavenly Sword there was no more room for excuses. Then came Uncharted, UTIII, Ratchet and Clank, ect with excellent gameplay and graphics.

[ShAkKa]

i love the demo , at first i did not like the idea of having a second person when playing offline coz most of the time they are just a liability but in this case sheeva kicks butt and provides a lot of help to chris.

[cactuschef]

@edhe

Yeah your right, the Ps3 is twice as expensive as a 360. All you'll be missing is a hard drive, wifi, and the ability to play online.

[Blademask]

Yeah, keep wishing KZ2 was on the 360 there POG. Maybe if you wish hard enough, it will make you forget that Alan Wake still isnt coming out anytime soon, nor is Huxley, or Warhounds, or Peter Jacksons Make Believe Halo Game, or anything, and isn't going to be setting any graphical bars that KZ2 helped shatter. You know, the bar Uncharted lined up, the one MGS4 placed, the Holes were drilled by GT5p, and Kz2 just blew the rest up.

Resident evil 5 is literally... and i do mean literally... Re4.1. You guys can all pretend its some amazing game... but did anyone play the demo? lol.. It felt like I was traveling through a time machine. Co-Op is fun, but so is Pacman, and most things that are enjoyed with another person..

How amazingly stupid do you have to be to still be having the "nuh-uh" "uh-huh" multiplatform debates? I know you guys have no 360 news, but jesus. Stop the nonsense. THe PS3 port from capcom more than likely sucks compared to the 360 version. Sucks as in, pulling out your microscope and comparing the two, however just playing both, you aren't going to notice anything.

None of this shows off hardware power when you factor in that Killzone2 doesn't require an install, and kills the 360's entire "technical power" Lineup. I know you guys really have nothing else to do, but from now on any versus story should definitely just be met with KZ2 Gifs. Its ridiculous. KZ2 has lined up and executed:

Gears 1 & 2
Halo

Nevermind, just "everything on consoles". And has no install.

Stop trying to justify your 360 purchase. Its WORTH it, by all means. good games, good online, AVATARS! I mean its all very much worth it. No one believes anyone here pretending RE5 was fun, or is some sort of technical marvel, not in the face of yet another new PS3 Only graphical standard, KZ2.

Re5 is Re4, If you loved Re4 you will love playing it again!

Even some of you PS3 guys need to just let them enjoy having something to talk about in the 360 section outside of a new Halo Card Game, or AMAZING NINJA BLADE FOOTAGE! Really, what is there to argue about? Capcom is better equipped to develop for the 360? Theres no argument. They are used to programming the old way.

Some people want KZ2 and RE5.
Some people want Re5, Halo Wars, and Ninja Blade.

[HolyOrangeCows]

I'm afraid that Gametrailers has already proven you all wrong. Their VIDEO (And not a photo-shopped picture. I mean COME ON. The PS3 version looked WAAAY better than these pics when I played it) showed dang identical visuals.

[thats_just_prime]

The last RE I played was RE:CV on the dreamcast. Other then that I only play RE1 and RE2. However the controllers to me feel very much the same. RE5 seems very fast peace compared to the older ones. I played the demo with a friend and working together and a team was a blast and made the game a lot more fun to play. Seem to me that people are disappoint that RE5 isnt a run n gun game. That was never the systle of RE and I hope it never will be.

[gametheory]

"

Uh, I'm not pretending anything, you're the one watching this with your Xbox goggles, your avatar only adds insult to injury; funny that I'm the only one ignoring my avatar, I could tell you the PS3 version is superior for several factors, but that's not true and I can tell you that because I'm not wearing any Sony goggles here.

I stand by my claim in that this is all because of the different AA techniques. Of course, 360 has the advantage of having additional EDRAM in order to allow better AA at sub-HD resolutions, but again, this is probably being rendered in HD so the advantage is non-existent (you do know that's why Halo and Ninja Gaiden were rendered in sub-HD resolutions, as opposed to most PS3 games including Ninja Gaiden Black, right?). As I said before, the detail that you think is "lost" on the PS3 version is not because it's non-existent (As if capcom would downgrade the assets), it's because the AA masks it, probably because, as you said, PS3 takes a smaller performance hit if it uses Blur instead of 4xAA.

What I'm saying is so evident that even fanboys like Why dis should be able to accept it, but of course, I'm asking for too much. Even in some screenshots PS3s "blur" effect helps it, especially when cloth is involved. The PS3 version of RE5 has hanging cloth that looks clean, while on the 360 version it looks dirty (as in pixelated) thanks to 360s extra "sharpness". A similar effect happened with GTA4 (remember the massive dithering shots on the 360 version?).

On other shots you may appreciate other things better on the 360 version, but again, as I said before, it's so close and subjective that it's more about preference, not fact (it's no wonder that in spite of the fact that the 360 version of GTA4 has more pixels, more reviewers liked the PS3 version; each console renders differently anyway). But again, a few PS3 owners have confirmed that it looks better than this shots on their 720p TVs.

Since neither you nor Why dis own a PS3, you wouldn't know anyway. Of course, you'll say they are PS3 fanboys, but what makes you different anyway? Hey, if Capcom says one version is better than the other though, then I'll go by their word. Too bad they say it's the same game. :)

[The gaming GOD]

Once again, the fanboys with microscopic vision will say "my system's version is better"

[Sangria]

Yay but those are 640x360 screenshots, we can see all the details and we can say which one is the superior version. And as i will play on the superior system, i will enjoy more the game than those that will play it on inferior system.
/sarcasm

[hippo24]

The details are so insignificant that it really is unnoticeable and have will have no effect on game experience.

Saying that the xbox has a slightly better shade in some areas but as I said before its insignificant.

[Marcelles25]

i just think the PS3 anti-aliasing blurs the picture a little

[The gaming GOD]

Now instead of people "directly" trying to say "version A looks better than version B", you'll get people saying "it's not important but version A has darker or more detailed whatever than version B"

I don't know what you people are seeing. But the best chance to compare the two would be the first and second pictures in the third row (the ones with the black guy in the red shirt) I don't see any difference in either aside from the positioning because the two pics aren't caught at the same exact spot.

So you guys go ahead and "see" what you want.

@2.5- For the third time, Here we go. And if we are talking about the two only comparable pictures there (the ones I just mentioned) then you do realize the 360 shot is taken a little closer than the ps3 one right?

I'm not "accusing" anyone of anything. And as for "defending myself", from who? You? a random entity on the internet that can to zero to me? Just what am I defending myself from? I have nothing to lose or gain here either. But you must THINK I do since you want me to "defend" myself

Sigh...Edit again-

Defend my opinion? In that case I already did. I'll quote myself:

" then you do realize the 360 shot is taken a little closer than the ps3 one right?"

And how you can compare the others is beyond me considering they aren't even close to being the same frame

Edit again-

"I just don't think its possible for a person with good vision to not see a difference here. "

If you say so. All I will say is I'm not even going to say what I CAN say about that because I already know the arguments that will ensure. Maybe not with you, but someone will butt in and put their two cents in. All I can say is my vision is fine And I looked at both pics hard.

[Kevin McCallister]

I'm getting the PS3 version since I'm used to RE4 on Dualshock, but even with those small comparison resolutions it's easy to see that the 360 version has much sharper textures. The difference is night and day. I wonder what causes it to look that way though.

@2.4
So you honestly don't see the difference in the skin/forehead texture and the amount of veins? One is obviously sharper than the other. Rather than accusing others of making up stuff and "seeing" things, how about defending yourself and this extremely obvious difference? I don't have anything to gain or lose by stating what I said above.

Yes I'm talking about the first two pics in the third row. In those pics, and in all of them, the textures are different between the two consoles. Lol, I meant defend your opinion on this. Nothing more. I'm not the type to start e-fights because both sides end up losers. I don't think you have anything to lose either, I just don't think its possible for a person with good vision to not see a difference here.

[thewhoopimen]

Go read some beyond3d forum postings on this game. The game textures are exactly the same. The difference is the way anti-aliasing is done on the 360 vs. ps3. In that scenario, I can agree that 360 has a more eyepleasing implementation. But if you still want to argue lighting and textures, then by all means go ahead. You'd just be wasting your breath.

[vdesai]

Actually there is a difference I just think that the sharpness on the 360 makes the foreground look a bit cartoonish like on the first picture its just weird I can't tell what it is but it just looks that way.

[NickIni]

Who cares. If you chose which console to buy the game for based on the graphics of comparison screens, you deserve a slap.

[Beg For Mercy]

just got done playing this and the controls made my elbow and hands hurt the placement of strafing to the right stick is pointless because you have to hold down x to run, i hope they fix this in the final code and the graphics were not all that good either, i would give it a 8 out of 10

[Sarcasm]

You can hold L3 to run as well.

[MGOelite]

both versions details are exactly the same, but i think the 360 version was a bit darker

[Mandaspt]

And a little bit detailed too.

[QuietBelief]

First of all I only own a PS3. Never played let alone own an Xbox. And I don't plan to either.

Please take a look at the pictures again. There is a night and day difference between the pics. The 360 version looks like it has more detail and the reason why this is because it seems there is a blur filter applied on the PS3 version. Now I don't know why they do this, maybe to overcome some complication? I don't know.

But the difference is clearly visible and this is coming from a neutral fan who owns a PS3.

[hippo24]

I wouldn't say detail I would say better shading quality.
In the Ps3 section the detail is obviously there but its not a defined.

Its unimportant either way, because gameplay is the only true measure of a game and judging from the demo there the exact same.

[QuietBelief]

Detail, shading quality whatever... Just want to point out that the 360 version does look superior. I wish people would stop lying to themselves just to defend their console.

Gameplay is a whole different matter. I agree with you that it is the most important part.

[MGOelite]

look at the first pic the guys face, only difference is the better shadow on his face

[Why dis]

Yeah except one of them has higher resolution, more detail, better textures, better lighting and more visual effects everything else is the same like you said like: gameplay, story and characters.

[Aquanox]

Wow!

I was expecting both to look the same for the experience CAPCOM already acquired working with the PS3 but the difference in detail in favor of the Xbox 360 is noticeable, and when I say noticeable I mean just like the old days when the first ports appeared.

[AngryTypingGuy]

Yeah the 360 looks a bit better from the shots that were shown. On most multiplatform games, it seems that the PS3 versions are a bit blurrier than their 360 counterparts. If you look at the clothing on the lead character, his clothes are more detailed on the 360 version.

[Aquanox]

No pals, this time is not just about the AA technique. There's obviously much more detail in the Xbox 360 and it's not a matter of sharpness.

Check these out:

http://images.eurogamer.net...
http://images.eurogamer.net...

That is not result of different AA techniques, the Xbox 360 version definitely has much more detail in the face of this guy.

[gametheory]

[likedamaster]

wow, there is an obvious difference. The xbox360 looks much sharper, more detailed and has better lighting.

[Mandaspt]

Yep the controls in the demo are a little bit messy. And judge by this comparison the Xbox 360 version is better.

[Beg For Mercy]

yea 360 looks better from the demo builds hopefully ps3 version is up to snuff when the final releases come out.

[Graphics Whore]

The controls don't work with an action game, damn I really wanted to like this game, I was hoping the Dualshock controller would sway me a bit more but I still can't get around to liking it.

[Martini]

Since you are such a graphics whore why not swallow your pride and admit that the 360 is vastly superior in these screen shots?

[Graphics Whore]

Maybe because I can compare because I have both systems and they're the same? LOL. I dunno that would be a start.

[ultimolu]

*sigh* Not this sh*t again.

[mirroredderorrim]

On another episode of When Fanboys Attack!

Who's game, that neither of us made, is better!?!?

*butts heads and explodes into infinity*

[ultimolu]

And it's over a f*cking demo...

[AuToFiRE]

i really do wish they would stop this sh!t, there is ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE! i have the capability to zoom in and THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Wouldn't expect anything less from the losing end :)

[ultimolu]

Jason...losing end?

OVER A DEMO?

Get real. How about we wait until the real game comes out. Then you can gloat and beat your chest like a gorilla. -__-

[Deadman64]

The 360 does look slightly better. almost like another layer of textures or something. However, will we notice this sitting back from our TV's playing the game?

[karlostomy]

"*sigh* Not this sh*t again."

I agree Juuken.

I am also sick to death of ps3 Multiplats looking so poor compared to the 360 version.

It really is frustrating, huh?

[ultimolu]

You know what else I'm sick of karl? People like you who hate on the PS3 time and time again. I don't see why 360 fanboys must gloat over a f*cking demo when the full game isn't out yet.

Incompetence never fails to amaze me on this site.

[LilMissGoddess]

she might have ps3 fanboys popping those bubbles, hell she might even have your comment deleted by mod and then banned from the zone like the last time...and she walks away with just getting a comment deleted...who's kissing who's a$$???

and yes, 360 is going to better...it looks SO much better on 360, sry fanboys...go ahead n cry, b!tch or w/e you guys do best...its the truth, and the 360 fans will all enjoy the game while you all cry cry and cry again about your ps3 and how its not as good as you all make it to be...i have played both so yes, i do say 360 is gonna be better!! unlike some of you ps3 tards i have the luxury of having both!!

[karlostomy]

@ littlemissgoddess

yeah i know what you mean.

@ juuken

"incompetence never fails to amaze me on this site"

absolutely. I agree again! The ps3 incompetence on mutiplats is just simply ludicrous.
I am glad we found that common ground after all, Juuken, my little princess.

[Shaka2K6]

RE4 HD i mean RE5 Sony PS3 superior version confirmed!!!

[TheMART]

o_O

The 360 version is sharper once again.

This gen it'll never stop. The 360 has the better GPU and the PS3 stays blurry.

EDIT

Lenny

DId you look at the comparison shots? That makes it pretty clear

Second, I have my 360 and my PS3 hooked to the sames screen, both on HDMI and I can confirm these kind of differences shown here.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Do your own parents take you seriously?

[Beg For Mercy]

you are right but i wonder if its like this because the 360 is ahead of the ps3 in development time hopefully they fix this

[n4gzz]

I have both console too. Hooked up same way, same setting both hdmi. I don't see any freaking difference.

Have fun to find out which version is better. But, I buy my multi on PS3, simply 'coz I don't want to invest too much on 360 and get RROD.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I played them side-to-side.

My roommate has a 360 and I have a PS3.

No, the 360 version isn't darker. Whoever did these shots used a component cable...not an HDMI cable...for the PS3 version. Also, neither versions have screen-tare...thank God. The PS3 version loads just a bit quicker, but it's a demo...what does it matter?

As far as controls go, they're the same, except for the DS3's d-pad...which we both preferred...and the 360's analog sticks...which we would have both preferred...had he not played the rubber off them...haha. (That sounds dirty, doesn't it?)

The PS3 version has a longer view distance, however.

Both versions looked near-identical in character and landscape detail. Sometimes, one looked slightly better...sometimes, the other one did. We both say they're exactly the same.

The cutscenes are also indistinguishable.

Just FYI.

[Sibs]

CONSPIRACY!

[bobdog626]

It don't Matter which one Look's better because everyone' getting Killzone2 (Click agree if im Right)

[crazyclown]

SERIOUSLY - THE GUY WHO DISAGREES YOUR POST IS A FANBOY LOL

[somekindofmike]

I agree it doesn't matter which one looks better!

But I disagree that everyone is getting Killzone!

so which button do I press?

[somekindofmike]

lol,

I like the disagrees

is it because I said it doesn't matter which version of RE5 looks better, or was it because I said not everyone is getting Killzone2

Bare in mind that I never said I wouldn't be getting Killzone 2! as I personally will definitely be getting it, I just mean that it isn't a game for everybody! not everybody wants another FPS.

[Halochampian]

I wont be getting it but I will be playing it.

I will get RE5 though.

[RebornSpy]

For one, it's completely off topic. This is about RE5, not Killzone 2.

Also, it is not true that everyone will get the game, only PS3 gamers. Owners of both systems will get to play RE5, so I wouldn't be surprised if the total sales of RE5 were higher than those of Killzone 2, simply because it's a multiplatform game.

@CrazyClown: Lay off the caps lock. You're not funny.

@HaloChampian: You spelled Champion wrong.

[Magic_The_Celt]

From the look of them

360 deffo takes the edge, with crisper details

but i shall wait and compare them manualy tommorrow.

[THC CELL]

screen shots for bubbles man

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

Am I the only one finding download speeds to be horrendously slow today?

I have a fast connection and all, fios, and would normally get 1mb per 2 or 3 seconds or so, but now I can barely get 1 every 10.

[Godem]

yeah the 360 version looks a little better...

BUT! more importantly, which demo has worse Screen Tearing?

[cayal]

OH MY GOD...they look...the same *play dramatic music*

[Supercalifragili]

Great graphics, bad gameplay. The same Resident Evil for years.

[NipGrip]

It's called Resident Evil then. I'd hate it if they messed with an already winning formula.

[games4fun]

the ps3 version and 360 version screenshots although close to each other are not taken in the same area, some shots are a step closer for one than the other or taken at a different time even the chainsaw pick cutscene is froma different moment one when the saw is running and one when it isnt

even if one was slightly(as in 1/10,000 of a fraction they pretty close) better you would be unable to make a fair comparison

[somekindofmike]

I think you are just clutching at straws there!

the 360 version clearly is slightly better, judging from these shots,

but who really cares,

PS i'm a PS3 owner, I have no 360, and will be buying it for PS3

[Lord Xire]

Lmao Are you serious?

I don't need glasses to see that the picture with that ugly ass dudes face on the Ps3 version had no veins or detail while on the 360 his veins and detail were present to the fullest.

I don't need glasses to see that on the 360 version the material that Chris' outfit is made out of is more vivid and detailed on the 360 version.

Seriously tho this is one of the comparisons where you can seriously tell a difference Ps3 version seems blurred out.

Hopefully it's on par with the final version.

[cyclindk]

Agreed, Still pretty sure that the shots of the 360 version are farther ahead in development than PS3 counterparts... I do have my doubts as to whether or not they will be substantially improved in the PS3 final build, I just have that feeling they're gonna jip us PS3 owners a little bit.

[Lord Vader]

No doubt. The 360 is clearly sharper & another article I read says the 360 version also has better particle fx. 360 version for me, for co-op with friends, achievements, better controller for shooters imho, & it obviously has the edge in the Graphics too.

[Lord Xire]

yo Lord add

Sky Zero 666 on XBL

[jay2]

The PS3 looses yet again. They lost this exclusive and the details just not there as usual. 360 wins the round again :( I'm still going for PS3 and I WILL for ALL ex PS3 Exclusives.

[gametheory]

This game was never Sony exclusive. Resident evil ceased being a Sony Exclusive franchise when the gamecube came out. RE5 was announced from day one as a multiplatform game. Crapcom made a sh1tty port of Lost Planet once, what makes you think they'd get it right this time?

The only game capcom got right on PS3 (more or less) was DMC4 which looked marginally better on PS3 due to it being the lead (since it was a former exclusive), but still it had a worthless 5GB installation. If Guerrilla and Insomniac can eliminate game installs and make the game perform pretty well, so could anyone.

[Martini]

Negative, this game uses DMC 4 engine.

[ilkercruiser]

640x400 pictures? Can't you see the "original" button and Ps3-Xbox360 switch picture button above?

Textures and the man's hair look sharper on Xbox360 version.
Ps3 version ,
5GB install and blurry textures again.
What a pity!

[360 man]

tisk tisk

[genkis300]

I was going to buy the game but after play the demo i changed mind. The camera and game control is just bad.

Now my money is on killzone 2 or SF 4

[magicman0]

Of course it will be sharper, it was most likely made natively on the 360 then ported to the ps3. If they made the game engine and everything else ground up on the ps3, the graphics would be wayyy better, and thats a fact.

NO ONE will notice these differences while playing unless you have a 100 foot tv. The thing that really matters is gameplay... and so far.. its not looking so great.

[Deadman64]

wasn't skate 2 made with PS3 lead? it didnt make a difference...but the quality of devs also plays a role.

[OGharryjoysticks]

without the 360 version winning. Don't believe me? Go back and check for yourself. The best they ever say about PS3 is that it looks even.

[xg-ei8ht]

Go compare them together.

ROFL. I've got the demo here.

It's as sharp as anything.

Nice Try Lao Che, oops i meant EG.

Fail.

Try HDMI next time, thankyou.

[heyheyhey]

all i know (and care) is that i am playing the RE5 demo on my PS3 in 720p and it looks fvcking awesome... i don't care what the other version looks like, i doubt i'd be able to tell the difference anyway

[Rise Of The Bad Guy]

You can definitely tell the 360 version is heavily compressed,hopefully Capcom fix the problem before launch.

[Martini]

Must be why it looks a lot better then PS3.

[Liamabob]

To me, the comparison shows the 360 has sharper textures, but look at the screenshot from the 360, looking at the big leaves, then tell me there's no such thing as too sharp.

Though that is the only shot where i think the ps3 has the edge

[ilkercruiser]

Yes man ,
textures are sharper on xbox360 but "disagree" button mashers alive in HERE! :))

[123360]

well its up on both systems live and psn well in the uk anyway.to be honest just got mgs4 and resi sucks on both,talk about night and day you can see the difference big time between them two games.as of resi 360 version versus ps3 version hard to tell the difference in game.these are early builds with possible bugs as demo explains,back to mgs4

[THC CELL]

Over a demo eurogamers what a sad site

Note before game
THIS IS NOT THE FINAL PRODUCT
they will be bugs ETC

sorry for caps but some people better get it now
Ps3 is the most powerful console
some developers are noobs
cant wait for killzone

And i am so glad the media started to eat there words now
Bring on uncharted 2 and God of war to rub in the fact the ps3 is the most powerful console
past present future
nuff said

[jay2]

Look, sorry but for such a short time frame (let's say give or take 5 month old builds) it's alarming how good the 360 build looks compared to the PS3. If the 360 had a few months head start fine, but it didn’t.

[HDgamer]

True gamers care about the gameplay overall the graphics. I wasn't satisfied with the gameplay, who really stops to shoot their enemy why can't he run and shoot? Dead Space is one of the most perfect examples how the game should be played. It's similar to resident evil in the survival horror genre. However I can understand with the no run and gunning but this just makes it horrible to run with. I think this game will be a rent for me unless they patch it.

[Elginer]

360 version looks better, no surprise there. This is Capcom afterall.

[Sarcasm]

Devil May Cry 4 looked identical. And some other Capcom PSN games are full 1080p while the 360 version isn't.

There are different possible theories here.

1. The PS3 version isn't complete in development
2. The PS3 uses a different Anti-Aliasing technique which blurs the image too much (Quincunx)
3. The 360 is just more superior
4. The website is using component cables to do comparison's (who knows why)

When I played the PS3 demo, I did not notice any excessive blur. I would have to see the 360 version on the same TV to tell a difference.

Otherwise, it all still looks pretty good.

[bekum_aka_jarhed]

these turd forget to turn the full hdmi

fukin 360

[hippo24]

Now how would you know that?

[Why dis]

Yeah yeah RGB BS need turned on and while he's at it he should turn on RGB on the 360 too ;)

What does that have to do with lower resolutions, missing textures/detail overall.

[foo]

any 1 else having trouble with the ps3 version? everytime i play split screen and get to the first cutscene , it says loading for extremely long time and never get to play....

[xg-ei8ht]

This is the point, I played it on both today.

360 and PS3.

And they look exactly the same.

But i do know, when they capture on PS3. They don't use HDMI.

And on PS3 it's a big enough of a difference.

[Ve3tro]

I thought that Eurogamer use Digital Foundry for capturing, if so I don't see why HDMI wouldn't be used on the PS3.

[Liamabob]

I have the feeling they use the same cable for capturing footage.
after all, component cables wouldn't change the lighting.
I don't see the fuss myself. So what if the textures are a tiny, tiny bit better on the 360?
The game is still the same.

Edit: ...and for the record... I don't like the game... Bent controls ¬_¬

[Gaara_724]

sorry im doing a graphics course and the ps3 versions have had a blur effect added on it. im not trying to stick up for the ps3 version or that i have both a ps3 and a xbox 360 and plan on geting the 360 version (so i can beat my friends on achivments!!!)

11.1
i agree with you man

12
i agree with you as well the 1st 3 resi's where the bomb i loved resi 2 william to me is still the best re boss

[hippo24]

Well since the games are exactly the same it really does come down to which system your friends have.

personally im going to have to get the 411 on which friends plan on buying this for which consoles, so until them I'm pleasantly undecided

[LordDhampire]

Well personally I'll just download both demo's because these screenshots are superold, I saw them ages ago before the demo's were released.

I'll probably pick up the ps3 version because the 360 demo feels awkward the game was not ment for that controller, The game was made for the gamecube and the controls were perfected for the Dualshock 2 and carry over to the dualshock 3

[NipGrip]

Frankly, I think the Wii version of RE4 is the best one. The controls are just such an improvement.

[Half-Mafia]

PS3 version looks a tiny bit blurry

[NipGrip]

But who really cares, the PS3 version still kicks a$$ and overall, it will be a good game on either platform.

It's not like back in the SNES vs Genesis days when the comparisons were VASTLY different.

[felidae]

wow, there really is a difference

[MK24ever]

This comparison is using the old Demos, and yes, the X360 demo looked better at that point, in the final version I don't know it this difference will remain... and... I don't care, I just HATED the demo, it was for me one of the most horrible demos to play, I know the name "Resident Evil" is very powerfull to many, but I wasn't impressed at all, the only good thing about the demo is the girl.

I trully hope for the RE fans that the final version has some MAJOR improvments, but even so I just don't like the overall feeling of the game.

[Topcat420]

really why does it matter which is better personally the demo is americanized garbage the old resident evil games were the real games anyway

[Antan]

360 has slightly sharper texture detail. Still, not bad for PS3 to be this close to the 360 with a year less developer exerience.

[Topcat420]

the demo felt like americanized garbage the old resident evil games were the real ones not some action game thats just using the name resident evil cause people will buy it

[Deathmammoth]

Who cares!!! what version looks slightly better. Wow on the PS3 the one hair on the head of the zombie looks better or OMG the fabric on the Xbox 360 is far more superior. I played both Demos and they look identical when you are playing the game. All this does is feed fanboys on to say which console is better. The better question is if you like the game or not. If you like the game then buy it and if you don't then don't get it and if you must pick which version to get, get the game that fits you better have it controller or friends getting it for Co-op. Besides that these little tiny differences isn't even worth the pixels these screens are on.

[Gitaroo]

when the heck will developer learn that QAA on PS3 = fial, totally ruins the image quality! Like why they heck do they think EVEN nvidia took out of of their driver for anything pass Geforce 4.

[360 man]

if dey use normall aa like 360 does it would hinder the ps3 performance

[Sackdude]

i played the demo on my PS3 and the 360, they look the same, on those pics PS3 looks blury because the game has motion blur effect on the PS3, i have right now on my LCD TV and it look exactly as the 360.

[Pootie Tang]

Looks sharper on the 360, details are clearer, likely for most part multi's are probably easier to fine tune on the 360. so the two will be comparable but i think the 360 is more multi friendly.
I think only PS3 exclusives will have a graphic advantage
i own both systems now and i don't see why such intense fanboyism on either side lol
both machines will give u access to 95% of the games coming out, and each will have a few great exclusives per year. i think in the end when you weigh advantages/disadvantages they wash out even

on topic- I'm not buying this game the demo turned me off,i may rent tho

[Antan]

Nice, mature comment. Have a bubble for your troubles.

[dale1]

could this explain eurogamers comparisons,hits to its website drops and then out with the fanboy stuff
http://www.alexa.com/data/d...
look at the graph and see the spikes,bad month jan wasn,t it and its getting worst year over year.1up times are a head i feel,anyone feel free to make a post thanks.
http://www.alexa.com/data/d...

[Spike47]

Only idiots saying otherwise are people like Why dis.

[MRIBNthewind]

I own only a PS3 only, and u must be crazy if you cant see that difference. The 360 version looks much better. On the other side...I just finished downloading the demo and played it and it looks great but.......I wont be buying this game. Controls suck major a$$!!!

[poeo]

so in 2009, we ps3 owners still get major releases looking slightly inferior? (if the demo is representative of the final product, which is usually the case). i dont get it. take Skate 2 for example, what in the WORLD is wrong with the framerate in the ps3 version? absolutely horrendous at times, and we were promised 60fps...

ohh well if i want my mind blown by incredible graphics, there are always the exclusive games :) i can forgive worse AA/framerate/whatever on multiplats, but ONLY because exclusives look so good.

it is still really weird though.

[whitefang1988]

I'll stand up for the 360 on this one the difference in detail is really noticably the PS$ looks like its got a grain filter on (prob for the frame rate issuses that the PS$ demo is experiencing) either way the 360 win about 90% of the time on multiplatform

360!!
360!!
360!!

[zootang]

I won't be buying this game. i'll stick to playing resi 1,2,3,4 on my ps3. you yanks can buy older resi's of the store right?

[mrmikew2018]

well said spike47, I just finish downloading the demo on my ps3 and the look exactly the same. This fanboyism is getting out hand. Why hate on either system (I will never understand) and besides CAPCOM themselves said they will be no difference between the two and yet you have trash sites like eurogamer, put up these bullsh#t comparisons saying one system looks better than the other (sorry) Saying the Xbox360 version looks better than the PS3.

[jay2]

Right fine, only one way to settle this, some one takes some PIP's of RE5, same place, same time ect.

[LONEWOLF231]

Same look the only difference is that the PS3 was yet again given the blurry look.

[CobraKai]

is it me or is are the controls/camera for RE4 easier to get used to. I found myself fighting with the camera trying to get it straight since Chris now strafes.

[seraph741]

after playing the demo i am now replaying 4 and it does seem to have easier controls, i'm sure i'll get used to 5, but it does seem a little "harder" to get used to. can't really put my finger on why though. the quick weapon switch and in-game inventory rule though.

[CobraKai]

Yeah the weapon switch was the one thing I felt was missing from RE4

[seraph741]

you'd be BLIND not to see that the 360 version looks better. i don't know if that's because of anti-aliasing or what, but all I know is that it looks much sharper whereas the PS3 version loses a lot of detail to blurriness. with other cross-console games, I couldn't really tell the difference, but this is so clear to me. If you argue this from these pictures, you lose all credibility as a non-fanboy.

now will the small difference really matter in the end? probably not. just depends on your console preference.

and i can't wait for this game, 4 was one of the best games ever, and the demo was so fun (especially online). i can see how some people would see it as more of the same, but I'm looking forward to that, the graphics are mind blowing.

what would be really sweet would be if the wii had this kind of graphics so I could play with a wii mote. the wii version of RE4 was excellent, some of the best wii controls in a game IMHO.

[somekindofmike]

As a PS3 owner, I have to agree 100% with you, The 360 version looks better.

It doesn't really matter though, it's going to be a great game anyway, RE4 was amazing, and I still play that a million times over regardless of there being 'better' looking games out now.

Kudos to 360 you won this battle, but who really cares?

[mrmikew2018]

didn't gametrailers already to do a comparison with RE5?

[CobraKai]

If there is one thing I have to say is that looking at stills versus looking at the game in motion are two totally different things. Now we can see subtle differences in the pics, but when your actively being chased by a hoard of angry Africans and a chainsaw wielding maniac, subtly goes out the window and you wont notice.

[Neo604]

I played the demo for 5 min then got bored. I careless if this is a xbox360 exclusive.

[gametheory]

How does the 360 version look like when my 360 RRODs?

:)

[Latin Blaze]

I don't really like picture comparisons, but the 360 looks a little better because of the texture and lighting, and the ps3 version looks a little bland like it's soft instead of sharp, and good shots to prove that is when you look at the first pic of the guys face, you look at the guys finger when he's talking through the megaphone, and look at walls and chris's hair, but those are small details you can fix by sharpening your tv, no one gives a crap about that anyway, so just enjoy it, it's re5 people.

[XxSpiiKeZxX]

YOU HAVE UR XBOT FANZ SAYIN 360 IS SUPERIOR
I HAVE PS3 AND I CAN SAY IT HAS A SLIGHT BETTER DIFFERENCE ON 360
BUT WHO CARES WHEN THE BEST GRAPHICS ARE BORN ON THE PS3
MGS4???
Killzone 2????
now anyone cant argue that one

[Qorious]

The 360 version looks better. Textures look sharper, but I could careless. I have a PS3 only and I don't care if the graphics aren't as sharp as the 360. I don't think I would notice when I'm trying to run away from those infected enemies.

[swinesucker]

This is one oversight on the ps3 hardware that should have been fixed. I am so sick of the blur filter, the non AA, and whatever else that needs to be done not being done or implemented properly. Luckily, I don't buy that many games. This is supposed to be next gen hardware. That I have to wait for the PS4 to get 16xAA is ridiculous. Every multiplat game I look at there is just this large blur that makes me look to the PC and go, yeah, I'll play that in 4 years on my PC when I get it.

HMPH!

[troylazlow]

with killzone 2 why is this still happening??? step up your game sony...

[Gue1]

the PS3 version has the "sharpness setting" turned down or something? texture look kinda blurred/too soft... I'm playing the demo right now with my laptop side by side with my HDTV and those blurred textures are kinda exaggerated. fake maybe?

[importfighter]

they look the same get over it ppl!

I prefer the PS3 only cuz of the Controller

but they are practically on the same level unless u study it really hard losers

[Jaces]

There is a difference in 720P and 1080P.

Not sure if the PS3 version is coming out with the 1080P one, but I have noticed a lot of the games on it are 720P.

It that's the case well then that explains the difference in the pics, other than that I'm still getting this for my PS3.

[magqcc7]

Are you xbot fanboys really serious. The PS3 version clearly looks better than the 360 version. This comparison and article are both asinine, created purely to get hits.

[gnothe1]

i just finished downloading the PS3 version, it took me almost 4 hours, but none the less it's finish downloading!! now as far as the graphics go, these game are 100 percent IDENTICLE!! I tried to fine something to give the 360 the edge but I just couldnt find it. I know many of you say DMC4 look the same or better on the PS3 an that was just BULL, the 360 version of DMC4 looked better, but.... as far as RE5 goes, I cant tell the differance between the two!! GOOD JOB CAPCOM!! an thats the honest truth, an I prefer my 360 over my PS3 but I give credit where credit is due, an this is a good looking game on both systems!! I'm using HDMI with RGB on with a 60 inch sony SXRD 1080p HDTV an I can honestly say these games ARE THE SAME!! GOODNIGHT!

[PS3Freak]

WHO CARES?!

[Iceman100]

Lol it's the same damn game whoever thinks this means anything has no life.

[Figboy]

man, gamers this generation are a bunch of whiny b*tches! they don't like ANYTHING!

i just finished playing the demo, and what can i say? it's Resident Evil 4 with amazing graphics and Chris instead of queermo Leon (i DO like Leon, by the way, i just think he's a ponce).

the controls are what i expected, with some slight improvements (i like being able to quick switch between weapons).

i don't understand why people are hating on it though. we've been told it's the same game as Resident Evil 4, and that's what we got.

it doesn't seem any less Survival Horror than RE4 was, and if you like OLD RE, well, there are at least FOUR games that play EXACTLY THE SAME (RE 1-4, and Code Veronica).

i made my peace with the fact that the Resident Evil series has taken a more action oriented. i played it with my roommate also, and it's surprisingly enjoyable as a co-op game.

gamers this generation seem to have gotten to the point where they can't enjoy ANY game for what it is.

you know what it reminds me of? the elitist attitude that film critics have towards movies. the greet every film they see with pre-conceived notions about what it should be, then snort in derision when it's not what they themselves ASSUMED it would be, and somehow fault the film makers for not making the movie to their specific standards.

Capcom never said RE5 would be a revolution of the series. i think they even outright stated that they were simply refining what RE4 established so successfully: a fresh take on a series that was getting stale.

i like the new direction Resident Evil has taken since part 4, and as long as the game is scary (and it IS, in a "holy crap, we're terribly outnumbered and have limited ammo sense), then it succeeds for me as a "Survival Horror" game.

there are different types of the same genre, you know. in film, there are Comedies, Black Comedies, Romantic Comedies, Dramadies, and so on, so why can't the Survival Horror genre branch out and have varying levels of "Survival Horror?"

and in being one of the earliest Survival Horror titles along with Alone in the Dark, why can't Resident Evil be free to change its formula when it needs to?

Silent Hill, Fatal Frame, and the original Resident Evils are what you would consider traditional Survival Horror titles. Resident Evil 4 and 5, Dead Space, others like it fall into the new "Action Horror" branch of the Survival Horror family, but they are STILL in that family.

some of you guys need to grow up and accept change. it's inevitable, and it can't be fought, so just roll with it.

hell, i'm upset that Square-Enix isn't the same company it was during the SNES and PS1 eras but it is what it is, and there are alternatives, so i got over it.

if RE5 isn't your cup of tea, that's fine, but don't hate on it because you don't like it.

hell, i don't like Gears of War in any way, shape, or fashion, but that doesn't speak to the quality of the game (which is good), just to my own personal preferences.

it's a shame that the gaming media this generation has encouraged the notion that subjective opinion is somehow FACT (ie, the PS3 has no games, is too expensive, etc). sure, a lot of people may AGREE, but that doesn't make it a universal truth, like, say, gravity and how it works, which is, for the most part, inarguable.

[kewlkat007]

I could use your post for many articles....

But to me, it's quite evident PS3 fans are the most hating. I think I know why.

RE is one of my fav Franchises and Capcom my fav developer. So I'm getting this game and enjoying it for what it is without always comparing another game to it as to why I might not purchase it. Talking to you Deadspace people.

[Figboy]

but i've definitely noticed a lot of the hardcore Playstation fanboys have suddenly turned on some classic "Playstation" franchises now that they are multi-platform.

Devil May Cry? greatest Playstation series ever, right? not anymore, now that it's multi-plat.

Final Fantasy XIII? greatest Playstation title ever, right? not anymore, now that it's multi-plat.

Grand Theft Auto? greatest Playstation series ever, right? not anymore, now that it's multi-plat.

Resident Evil? greatest Playstation series ever, right? not anymore, now that it's multi-plat.

the truth is that there is nothing wrong with these series now that they've gone multi-plat, but some of the Playstation fanboys take it too far.

don't get it confused with Playstation FANS. who enjoy their Playstation consoles more than the competition, but more than likely have the other console also.

i consider myself a Playstation FAN. i absolutely LOVE my PS3, and i think it's the best console this generation, but i own a 360 also, and i enjoy my 360 (although i haven't played it recently, truth told).

i don't suddenly think a game "sucks" when it's announced multi-plat. sure, i'm disappointed, because i'd have loved to have seen what it could have done being exclusive and pushing the console), but i'm not going to suddenly HATE on the game.

some of the complaints about RE5 are valid (ie, it IS silly that the game kept the same control scheme, but it doesn't break the game in any way), but overall, the wave of hatred is unfounded.

and it's not all PS3 fans that aren't enjoying RE5 like they expected. the 360 folks had it for a full week before the PS3 folks got a hold of it, and they expressed similar dislike.

i don't think it's outright fanboism that has them reacting this way either. the way the gaming media has shaped perception, gamers these days expect a "revolution" with EVERY game released, to the point where if the game doesn't wow them, or offer them some never before seen gameplay mechanic, then it's a failure. that's a silly, ridiculous expectation from EVERY GAME, and it clouds their ability to enjoy the games for what they are.

Xbox 360 RE5 demo looks better than the PS3 version = Fail?

[picoso36]

i like the exclusives for all 3 consoles (although ninty is a non-issue here) - but if i have a choice (i own all 3), i always go ps3 because i like to hear the game and not the cheese grating, on-the-verge-of-exploding noise M$ hardware makes... not a fanboy, just calling 'em like i hear 'em. anyone who owns the 360 and ps3 reaches this chevy vs. lexus comparison eventually

[Martini]

Some drives in the 360's are different brand and louder then others but after installing a game on the HDD it's whisper quiet so your argument is not valid.

[kewlkat007]

...

[picoso36]

...no matter how the consumer chooses to use it. Anything less is unacceptable. My experience with the 360 is that it requires way too many work-arounds. Ain't got no time for work-arounds! What's up with the crappy alternative methods to get wifi working? The Wii and the PS3 just do their thing and connect - and stay connected. Let's not get started with the creaky, haunted mansion door disc tray! And let's avoid the whole red rings thing..

The 360 has great games (no argument there), but as far as hardware goes, it's a Chevy Lumina.

[CertifiedGamer]

All they have is multiplats this year
no exclusive but multiplats and thats how they are defending themselves with games we are also going to get.

[caffman]

crawl back under a rock and weep troll

[XDF]

First GTA4, Fallout 3, and now RE5. If a game that is not PS3 exclusive, it will be slaughtered on N4G by Sony fanboys because they can't stand the fact that it is on another system.

I bet you if this game or GTA4 was a PS3 exclusive, it will have 50 Threads a day on N4G praising and defending it to no end. All Sony fanboys brag about these days are Sony exclusives **cough, KZ2, cough**. That is why on every major Threads, KZ2 is mentioned even though it is about another game.

OT: This game will be great and already paid for. Can't wait, screw the haters, see above.

[peeps]

i played both demo's simultaniously (where both demo's we're running on the same tv, 360 was using component and ps3 using hdmi) i really can't tell the difference. makes me wonder what they use for these comparisons. if u really care about minor graphical differences i recommend playing the game for yourself on both consoles rather than going off someone else's comparison

[MechaGear]

Funny thing the life gauge in the lower right screen is blurred as well with the PS3 screens. Nice try.

[andygawg]

From my PC screen one of the versions does look slightly better than the other, but I doubt it will make any difference during gameplay.

My main worry with this game is lack of save points, and why the hell don't all games let you save whenever you like anyway! It was understandable with PS1/Saturn tech., but that was two gens. back?!?

The Halo games have done a pretty good job with spacing of check points, but even Halo on Legendary pissed me off when having to repeat stuff before getting to the difficult part.

To hell with check points!!

[Firstkn1ghT]

Another BIG multiplatform title better on the 360. Nothing new here...*

Seriously some of the biggest multiplatform titles are better on the 360 like GTA4, Fallout 3, Bioshock, and now Resident Evil 5. :)

[Anon1974]

Even Rockstar's own Sam Houser said he liked the PS3 version of GTA4 better. Better load times, better frame rate, less texture pop-in. Kotaku (as in, we love Microsoft Kotaku) found no difference between the 360's Bioshock and the PS3's version.
Eurogamer (as in, we love Microsoft Eurogamer) also said "I could, of course, talk about the technical differences between PS3 and 360...except there aren't any." "the PS3 rises to the occasion every bit as successfully as the 360, perhaps even more so."
And Fallout 3 had a couple of hiccups that annoyed reviewers but were fixed with a patch about a week after launch.

Seriously, this crap about games always being better on the 360 is so 2007. Anyone with a brain in their head need only look at Killzone 2 or Heavy Rain to see which console has the most potential. As much as I love my 360, nothing's looked significantly better than Gears which was released in 2006.

[biloz]

I noticed much more details in these Pics and clearly...the XBOX360 wins BUUUT....i downloaded the demo on my ps3 and when i start the game i pressed the L1 button directly to compare the same pic on this site and i noticed that the clothes looks extremely detailed not like the one in this site...so i just wanted to know why all this hate to PS3 and people don't believe me just try it ur self

[maspi]

disappointing demo.not impressed.horrible controls and confused gameplay .Dead Space clearly better than RE5.

[kewlkat007]

I guess so the 360 version it is....

[KobeBryant]

Why do you even this fanboy bs? If you're going to get it on 360, get it on 360, if you're getting it on PS3, get it on PS3, simple as that.

[karlostomy]

This is boring and predictable.

The 360 version is much sharper and has more detail. It just looks crisp!

The ps3 version, while no slouch, has a mysterious vaseline blur applied and just looks less vivid.

After two years on the market I have to say that I am disappointed at the ps3 multiplat results.

[mistajeff]

If anyone was paying attention when the media first got these demos you'll know that the PS3 version of the demo is several builds behind the 360 version and the review builds look EXACTLY the same.

[digitalpowershot]

I don't get the hype around of this game. Downloaded the demo and it did not catch me at all...

[deividpaulo]

this comparison is a FAKE...

FACT!!

[Salta_nelas]

I agree, according to this comparison the 360 version boasts better textures, it looks like the PS3 pics are being displayed with component cables while the 360 is using hdmi. Anyway the texture diference is obvious, as it should be obvious even for fanboys that KZ2 visualy is in its own league.

"Sure the PS3 has a lot of power inside, and Killzone 2 is proof of that but in terms of detail, there are bottlenecks in the system that prevents it to surpass the Xbox 360. Even Killzone 2 texturing isn't as sharp as RE5 (Xbox 360 version) or Gears of War 2.
"

You make it sound like the PS3 cannot do textures as good as the 360, must i reming you that MGS4, LBP and Uncharted (the best one still imo) boast some of the best textures seen do far, all from exclusive games, go figure.

[SprayandPreycom]

ps3 is suppose to be this technological monster and graphics machine but then the 360 games always look better wtf lol.... never judge a game by its 30 second cut scene .. ie sewer shark ..

[Solotov]

Yup...360 version has more texture detail. Just look at the walls, floors, and the main character. Hope it turns out better for PS3 owners that want this game.

[Dannagar]

I downloaded both versions and by all means, the Xbox 360 version is the better version. If you only own a Playstation 3, it's not as though you'd know the differences.

[Hercules]

it seems the dev favored the 360 more..it looks more sharper on the 360..the lighting is the same, but the textures just look more sharper on the 360..other than that, its the same..still no buy for me...uncharted2 ftw

[pushergreen]

the jaggies on the ps3 are unaceptable at this point, what gives on the multis? The ps3 cannot keep up. For me it does not matter as the controls are suk, the are as intiutive as pong controls. Do the previous iterations of this game share similiar control scheme (man/woman tank)? Time to evolve RE. Graphics are real nice though (360 version).

[crillyconlig]

until other devs learn how to use this with the ps3. multiplat games are going to continue to be a little sharper on the xbox, rock on killzone2, i still listen to the main menu music of the beta, pure epic

[Anon1974]

We already know this demo used for the comparison isn't the finished build. The developers themselves said the PS3 version was a couple of builds behind the 360 demo but that the final versions were identical. This is just a duplicate storey here to stoke those fanboy flames.

[Bengoshi-San]

The 360 looks better, so I'll be getting it for my 360 instead of my ps3.

Thanks.

[Kurylo3d]

yea its true. Not any kind of fanboy statement. Dont hate ... textures are obviously more sharp... a higher resolution in the 360 version. Screenshots of the faces are a prime example ... check those out. Ill probably rent this game on my 360... rather then on my ps3. Probably wont buy it either way lol... game looks like about 2 hours of fun then the rest boring just like RE4.

[M0rt3n]

Looks like the PS3 screens are missing Full Range RGB. They should post the PS3's configs. The RGB really brings forth the details...

[jhani]

Devil may cry 4 looked better on the ps3. And as i can remember, camcom are using the same engine. So why did they mess up this time?
I guess they made the 360 version the lead platform this time around?

But i find it strange that after 2 years, the ps3 is supposed to have immense power and the developers should be able to exploit the system by now, ps3 versions of multiplatform games are looking still "piigshit" compared to 360:)

[phosphor112]

My PS3 isn't going to be playing this game. I just don't like that idea of a game to install, just so it wont even look as good as the 360 version. As I've said before, not even MGS4's installs are that big. And that game looks eons better than RE5. Capcom is the only company throwing out mandatory installs that are crap.

Lost Planet - 5gigs
Resident Evil 5 - 5gigs
DMC 4 - 5gigs.

Yeah I just bought a larger hard drive, but I'm not going to buy their games for a mandatory 5 gig install for a passable game.

Disagree with me all you want, but I don't think thats how a company should be doing business.

[Kurylo3d]

regaurdless if they have the full rgb settings on or not... that doesnt change the fact that ps3 version has less shaders and lower resolution textures... it just sux that its like that. I mean to get a game that looks better then the 360... counter part or better then what a 360 has u have to work on it for many many years.... which lets face it... not everyone has that kinda money to pay that. I hope killzone 2 really succeeds.. that studio deserves it...

[gersh]

I really enjoyed the demo and playing it online with my brother. The controls felt comfortable for me BUT I hated the fact that you can't really equip the knife as a weapon and run around with it.

[BMS84]

But if the objects are close up the PS 3 pictures are looking a little sharper , btw these pics are not high res.. Anyway i don't care if this multi will look better on the 360 .. that demo sucked , i was so dissapointed , this game looks average , the controls are not as good as in RE4 , Chris is slow, Sheeva is all the time in the way.. the atmosphere is also dissapointing , i'd rate the demo 8/10 .. not higher

[artsaber]

If anyone bothered to adjust the controls in the demo, they would find the much more familiar RE4 control scheme. It ain't better than Killswitch/Gears2/Dead Space move-n-shoot, but it is more familiar and can save your ass a few times. I found myself hitting the wrong button a few times on the default scheme. I have played the demo on the 360 and PS3. I did much better on the PS3 when I switched to the RE4 scheme.

Both looked close to the same, but I noticed DIFFERENT flaws in both builds. I will give you a hint... on the 360 look at your character when you spin him around and see what happens around the lining of his head. On the PS3 look at the gun on your character's back. They look close enough for me to not care which system is slightly better "graphically", but the Dualshock3 is KEY to victory for me. It handles this game sooo much better IMO. The controls need so much help that every OUNCE of advantage is crucial to me playing this game or putting it down completely. Because myself like most people were underwhelmed by the demo, mainly through the controls. Even the guy who sold my Killzone2 preorder was talking about how disappointing the controls were, 360 and PS3 fans have agreed mainly on this if nothing else.

But this game went from a must buy to a must rent after I played the demo, so sorry Capcom, Microsoft, and Sony... well at least Sony gets my cash for a Killzone2 sale.

[abi980]

Dowmloades both demos and the PS3 version has the same old no antialiasing issues, so if u own both consoles 360 is the one to get... again.

[Mitch_Cumstein]

No surprise here.

[pete2711]

Yes i love my PS3 and most of the time these comparasons look identical, But in this case its obvious the 360 has clearer screenshots at least,

But in no way shape or form will i notice when i am playing, And in no way will i suddenly not like the game!!

Although the demo's side by side don't look as different as the screenshots suggest??

[SuperSaiyan4]

And this is clearly obvious however the visual difference is not huge like other games in the past however the extra visual difference in detail is nice.

However since this site is dedicated to 90% of PS3 fans I am sure they will not see reason and hit me with lots of negatives etc.

I did read yet again some say PS3 is more powerful, ok its more powerful but that power is totally wasted on a poor GPU its ability to render visuals is not as good as the 360's custom GPU which everyone knows for many years now is far more capable and the games show it.

Oh and lastly DMC4 does NOT look better on the PS3 *shakes head* same way Oblivion does not look better on the PS3 - do deseased looking characters, poor textures look better??? I dont think so.

[ZILLA]

i went into the option on the pitcure and made it a hair darker to my liking and slowed the movment down alittle and its PERFECT.set the game up to the way you like they just set it on default.

[Mitch_Cumstein]

You would think it could at least match the 360 version no matter which console is lead.

[SuperSaiyan4]

I am no developer but the games show what a system is capable of at the time of what technology is available to developers i.e. software tools. If developers have certain hardware available to them i.e. GPU which has more pipes and features then I am sure they will make use of that. If you look at a game like Killzone 2 it has this dry, grey look to it this was just like PS2 games and shows on some PS3 games as well it just doesn't have a shine to the games.
Some games do look good on the PS3 and are beautiful in fact but its strange when it comes to shooters things start to look grey and dry and lacking texture. I also noticed in KZ2 in some areas there was no shadowing and the lighting was not reflecting off of surfaces very good way to save some space ;-) and I am sure no one noticed it either...

[ironmonkey]

lol how bout this forget argueing if u own a 360 get it for that if u own a ps3 get it for that .. i will be getting it for ps3 because i happen to own one .really its hard to even notice the difference in graphics its just the little tweaks here and there nothing big kz2 already has set the bar with graphics its hard to even look at other games anymore regarding graphics

[PsYcHoToE1]

Let me start off by saying I have both consoles. Now on to the pics. Clearly there is a difference. The level of detail to the characters and environment look more accurate on the 360. They are not blurred at all. The colors also look a bit washed on the PS3 as well. I know this hurts all you PS3 owners in admitting it but you must be blind or in denial if you don’t see this. Once again I own both so I know what your feeling.

I know this from experience that this will be the final build for PS3 and 360 owners. I hate to say this but once again we PS3 owners got the shaft once again, simply because of how much we paid for the system and the games. (I don’t give a sh*t about blueray) If I’m dropping 399.00 for a system you better believe graphics and frame rate count. Who cares about how much power the PS3 has, if devs don’t have enough time to fine tune their game for a specific console then no matter how much you think about it we got ripped off. Perfect example is Fallout 3 what a pathetic game for the PS3. I have never played a game with so much frame rate issues. It’s unplayable on the PS3 where it runs beautifully smooth and looks better on the 360. Personally I feel ripped off throwing 65.00 bucks down on a game that does not deliver either cause the “developers are lazy” or cause programming on the PS3 is more difficult.

I test demos on both and have been finding the 360 winning most of the time. I just don’t understand why you get so much frame rate issues on the PS3 considering how much power this thing has.

Ohh and by the way please don’t start comparing KZ2 to every FPS game out there. It’s stupid and childish. I think we should start questioning Sony and the PS3 as a gamming machine, and hoping they make this console easier to develop for instead of saying….”Look at KZ2” because if this continues PS3 owners will have to constantly wait years for a game to come out as good as this one. I sill think it took way to long for KZ2 to come out. I find it crazy this gen how a cheap white box can still deliver that bit more then a system built for the future.

[MADPIRAHNA]

last night on my 1080p with 1:1 pixel mapping on. It almost looks like thats how some of these photos were taken, using full screen or aspect instead of 1:1..... If you dont know, there is a huge difference.

[pete2711]

Ohh and by the way please don’t start comparing KZ2 to every FPS game out there.

(Like we do with Halo) lol!!

Fallout 3 what a pathetic game for the PS3. I have never played a game with so much frame rate issues. It’s unplayable on the PS3

(Don't be so stupid, That is such an over exaggerated statement, Or you just have some massively high standards for games which imo is plain stupid, You just end up looking for things to hate the game for, Which then changes you from gamer to knobhead!)

[The Judderman]

The xbox one is better but when you play it it's still the same game so does it matter. You will only buy it for the console you own anyway.

[The Judderman]

The xbox one is obviously better. I am starting to question why Ps3 multi format games are having trouble keeping up with the 360. The Ps3 was supposed to be built for the future for Gods sake.
Killzone does look amazing but considering the time and money its taken it should.
Sony had better make the next ps easy to program as its obvious the xbox can hold its own and for half the price.

[artsaber]

If a game is weaker on one console it is lack of caring, resources, skill, or a combination of the previous listed. This is easy to answer and prove since Killzone2>RE5.

[MADPIRAHNA]

Its all about the Devs using the hardware. When they code keeping both platforms in mind, the PS3 seems to suffer. When they code with only the pS3 in mind its a whole other gaming experience, makes me want to shy away from multiplats.

Also, we all know its half the price, but look at it this way, a green Chevy Cobalt is half the price of a shiny black cadillac but they will both take you to the mall. Its all in how you want to travel my friend.

[akumous]

OK, enjoy your little debates of which console has the better version. Listen up, by 27th of this Month a large portion of the PS3 users going to be playing a game that might best shooter award for the year and graphics award, Kill Zone 2.

So go ahead and debate about multi platform games like RE 5, we don't care because we and some friends of mine who are 360 whores are going to be playing KZ 2..If Capcoom wanted to spend more time on RE 5 we would not have had 5g install, but we don't care, we have Kill Zone 2 which is far better game.

I played the demo..it feels dated..nothing new to table at all..it feels like RE 4, which is bad thing now...so go on..enjoy..

Wait and what exclusive game you guys having coming out? Halo wars right?

[pete2711]

^^^^^^ AGREED ^^^^^^

[The Judderman]

Theres plenty coming that they haven't announced we all know that. E3 will no doubt have Forza3, mass effect2 and others.
Yeah Killzone is great but surley multiformat games should look better on the the more powerful ps3 no matter what. Last gen multiformat games looked better on the xbox as it was more powerful and it showed, smae thing should be happening here.
If resi5 was ps3 exclusive im sure people would be saying it looks great and the xbox couldn't run it.

[harshtruth]

First off the demo sucks on both systems... the graphics are not that good on either system... the controls are poop...the camera is double poop. Secondly, in the beginning multiplatform games look substantially better on the 360... now when both systems have their settings maxed out, they either A.) look exactly the same (call of duty 4) B.) 360 looks better sitting still, ps3 looks better running (force unleashed, GTAIV) C.) it looks better at all times on the ps3 (Tomb Raider underworld, burnout paradise) D.) it looks better at all times on 360 (rainbow six vegas 2, assassin's creed).... where's "why dis"?... I know you want to say something ignorant like people with only one console often do...

[2FootYard]

I think the difference in those pictures might just be a difference in the lighting settings. I probably won't even buy this after playing Dead Space this is just really boring.

[PsYcHoToE1]

Like I said I own both consoles so no need to get pricky, (I may have hit this guys nerve.)Anyway I just tell it like I see it. If you were spending your hard earned bucks for a game wouldn't you want what you pay for? Of course I have high standards for games I purchase.

[pete2711]

I buy games for entertainment, So i do get what i pay for. I don't care about all this frame rate stuff and miniscule detail differences, If i did i would sound like you,

And i don't want that.

I'm sorry the price of games are such a dent in your wallet, I have a job so a game a month is not really alot of money.

[yz250]

noone needs a magnifying glass to see the 360 is better. sorry DROIDS play b3hind!

[GUNS N SWORDS]

I've seen so far 3 variations of the comparison, all are pointing out that the ps3's version need more fixing.

[JeepCreeper86]

But i have to add something to your comment Guns N Swords, it seems as though the PS3 has no atialiasing... i think sony needs to look into that.

[JHUX]

rofl... I could take the screenshots from this game, that are on the exact same console, and then label them "360, PS3", and fanboys would find all these HUGE DETAILS, that directly effect their purchase since they "own both systems".
