Resident Evil 5 - Xbox 360 vs. PS3 comparison screenshots

A huge gallery with lots of comparison screenshots between the Xbox 360 and the PS3 version of Resident Evil 5 has been put up on Cynamite.de. Can you tell the difference?

[Kamikaze135]

At least in Japan so far =P

[hippo24]

Not to be bothersome but aren't there more ps3's in Japan?
So wouldn't proportionally there be more games sold for it, then its competitor?

Just throwing that out there

[360 man]

goodness sake

wat is it with that ridiculous blur all over the ps3 version

[cereal_killa]

360man can you see little pink fairy's and sock goblins with those fanboy goggles you wear as well.

[pumpkinpunker]

Yeah, the lighting is also worse quality in the PS3 with less subtlety. The textures on the monster thingy are worse on the PS3 version. Also, notice how the two characters look like they're standing in front of a blue-screen or something in the PS3 version of the last picture on the first page.

All in all, the PS3 version looks like it's missing one last stage of polish compared to the 360 version. It appears some shaders and post processing effects are non-existent in the PS3 version to keep it running at a stable framerate.

360 version is hands down better looking- on this game it's not even a question.

[360 man]

ign confirmed that during game play ps3 struggles with the frame rate whilst the 360 is consistant through out

[Ghoul]

goodness sake

wat is it with that ridiculous fanboyism all over n4g

[myothercar]

Both versions look nearly identical. The only difference I see is in the intensity of the lighting- sometimes it looks more vibrant and intense on the PS3, and sometimes it's in favor of the 360. It doesn't seem to be technical limitations, but rather differences in artistic intent between the two platforms' lighting artists or whoever.

All this "360 version looks undeniably better" is just xbots getting caught with their pants down because they think they can say it about every multiplatform comparison.

P.S. @ 360 Man (nice name, hides your bias) that "ridiculous" blur in the PS3 version looks to be motion blur, a post-processing effect that takes more horsepower to render.

[Ghoul]

that "blur" is motionblur wich we allready saw in some multiplats to be only on the ps3 version because of the lacking horsepower of the 360 on that kinda postproscess effekt.

i wouldnt be suprised if re5 has a ps3 optimised motionblur too.

[Blaze929]

why all you all disagreeing with comment 1.5 by 360 man? Thats the truth, IGN already confirmed that the 360 version is the superior version the the one they recommend.

http://forums.gametrailers....

[360 MAN 2]

actually hor ur information blur doesnt require much hard ware power

it is mostly used to hide jaggies

now multi sampling anti aliasing on the other hand requires more hardware power and keeps the game crisp and good to look at

[pumpkinpunker]

good call on the IGN comparison. you can tell the analyst is kind of a sony fanboy (he prefers dual analog for FPS shooters?!?) and it pains him to recommend the the 360 version.

[Graphics Whore]

The exact comment is "the framerate dips for the trained eye"

Lol what? How about a benchmark test?

Anyway, the Xbox 360 version has some nasty screen tearing.

The game look exactly the same, no matter how stupid you are.

[HighDefinition]

The people who are able to notice a missing pixel in a game are the same people who can`t see a difference between DVD and BluRay.

Think about it.

+bubble hi def very nicely said

[Mindboggle]

WTF is this trash ! There is hardly any difference at all except in the lighting image. Both versions are visually identical and only fanboys would care about this crappy comparison.

Just buy the game for whatever system you have, and be happy. Noones going to go out and buy the other console due to small differences such as a supposed low res texture. Its pathetic and all you people fussing about this are even more pathetic.

[eagle21]

Gamespot said halo wars looks "unfinished and bland" 6.5.

SO4 looks like crap compared with the bullshots that got released.

MGS4 and LBP stole all the graphics awards from AIAS and Spike. Gears and fable won zero, cause 360 releases bullshots and the games look worse.

PS3 has better graphics, we know it. :)

[Blaze929]

the people on this website are ridiculous

[Aquanox]

IGN HEad to Head:

"Still, there are some small differences worth noting. The PS3 presents more brightly, and this helps to bring out more visual detail in dark areas. In comparison, the blacks in the 360 version tend to wash out some of the finer details. In brightly lit areas, however, the PS3's brightness adds a slight haziness to the image that makes brighter colors look a touch washed out. The PS3 takes a hit in the framerate department, with noticeable dips into the low 20's in some especially hectic scenes. It's also worth noting the PS3 version appears slightly more aliased than the 360 version. You won't see this without looking closely because environments generally have so much polygonal detail that straight lines never stand out. Still, you'll notice a slight jagginess on gun models and some simpler environmental objects in the PS3 version.

The PS3 version requires a hefty 4.8GB installation that took me upwards of fifteen minutes. Once the game is running, the PS3 version loaded into levels just a second or two more quickly than the 360. The PS3 will have you loaded in from the level select menu in 10-11 seconds while this takes 12-13 seconds on the 360. It's a small difference and shouldn't be an issue either way. "

[TheBand1t]

Which version looks better? Couldn't say. Though from what I've read both have pros and cons. That you couldn't notice without putting them under extreme scrutiny while the menu is paused, but then, you're not playing that 60 buck game for enjoyment anymore, are ya?

[Armyless]

Best Post of the Thread

[SiLeNt KNighT]

i dont understand how ign can claim some small improvements when it comes to the 360's 2 extra polygons but downplays small improvements to load times and contrast on the ps3?

ill never know for myself because ive never been into the RE series very much and after playing the RE5 demo i will not be picking up this game. i understand you cant compare different genres but to me i would rather spend my time playing Kz2 because its superior to RE in every way. not the same type of game, just my preference which really is all that matters to me.

[CobraKai]

When playing the demo, I really can't tell the difference in lighting, textures, frame rate, etc. But the one thing I do notice, which doesn't require stills and a microscope, is that the 360 has screen tear and the PS3, at least in the demo, does not.

[Timesplitter14]

They all look better on PS3 except for that cutscene shot where you see Chris's pistol up close.

[likedamaster]

They look almost identical. I'm sure the framerate drops on the PS3 version shouldn't be gamebreaking, besides it's only when it gets "hectic". Any have a PS3 only or 360 only should still drop dollars on this title.

[gaffyh]

Very minor difference, you can only tell by using a side by side comparison. Personally the PS3 version looks like it has better lighting (i.e. more realistic), but is slightly blurry in some of the pics (I'm guessing that's cos they took the screenshot during motion). 360 verion looks just as good, but the whole screen looks slightly over-brightened.

But either way, whatever version you play, it looks just as good on either to be honest.

[facepalm]

MY PIXELS LOOK BETTER THAN YOUR PIXELS!!! YARR!! YARR!! YARR!!

[kwicksandz]

From the comparisons, the gfx are basically the same. But no one can argue that a locked Framerate is worse than one that dips into the low 20s on occasion. Seems like 360 is the way to go for multi console owners.

[ikaris]

Stop being fanboys guys.
The 360 version looks better because its easier to code for, and the PS3 Suffers in multiplatform games because parallel coding is more difficult to do.
This just shows you how capcom has abandoned the PS3 or they just aren't good enough coders for it, or they just didn't put enough time into it.

It looks worse for reasons, but the 360 being a better system is not one of those reasons.

Multiplatform games means the ps3 version is going to be worse (usually, not always)

[ActionBastard]

Time and time again, I see the comparison videos or read how awful the framerate is for the PS3 version of "game-x", yet once played, it isn't even an issue. Orange Box is a perfect example, imo. "Oh the framerate is a slideshow!"...then you play it...and it's not. Bandwagoners and gaming posers will try to convince you otherwise. Many, many people will buy the PS3 version and not think about how it plays on the 360. Which will be exactly the same.

Also, enough with the message board game programming gurus. The difference are so noticeable, Capcom had both version of RE5 side by side at CES. You see what you want to see.

[Spydiggity]

i was going to say, who cares, both will look good (and that's still true). but then i got to the image of him holding the key. look at this face in that picture. in the ps3 version his little blue tooth thing and his piece of hair that are hanging down don't cast a shadow. they do on 360. not a big deal, both versions have some of the best graphics on console this generation. but look at the picture. this can't be disputed (though i'm sure i'll still get a ton of disagrees).

[Sephiroushin]

to pumpkinpunker 1.4
are u crazy or blind XBOX360 cant handle The Last Remnant it lagg like it have 15 frame per second and now he cant handle Star Ocean
XBOX 360 = Red Ring Of Death
PS3 = like 4 ever

[Capt CHAOS]

Just enjoy the game.

[UnwanteDreamz]

If it were only that easy. I have enjoyed tons "inferior" multiplats so far on my PS3. Go figure....

[commodore64]

@ ^^^

Funnily enough, I have enjoyed the "superior" 360 multiplats just as much, if not more.

[pumpkinpunker]

wonder why Capcom skimped on the PS3 version.

[Sarcasm]

I've enjoyed the "SUPERIOR" PS3 exclusives. Fancy that.

I have enjoyed the superior 360 exclusives as much as, if not more than you have enjoyed the superior ps3 exclusives.

[360 man]

wat is it with that ridiculous blur all over the ps3 version

[Montreafart]

Only the PS3 with its enormous and untapped power can run something as flashy and technically complex as Killzone 2. Only the PS3 has the raw power to support the total package that is Killzone 2 from running flawlessly.

With this background, it is natural for a game like RE5 which is not complex at all, to run so smoothly on the PS3. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the "wait till E3" delay60 console, where it is pushed to the limits by RE5 (and by Gears of war 2).

The developer of RE5 has already spoken about how his team has absolutely pushed the last drops of the delay60 to its limits. Do not be surprised if a spike of overheating occurs in March, people.

Do not be surprised at all.

[360 man]

ign has confirmed that 360 has a much better and consistent frame rate than the ps3

[cereal_killa]

IGN can't confirm anything, retard. They can only give their opinion unless they actually did a benchmark. Even if they did, you are still a retard.

Haha yes they did say that. These fearless Xbox fanboys just can't grasp that there console isn't the graphics king.

Both consoles are great, both have great games, but to say that PS3 doesn't have a lead on graphics is living in never land.

[TreborRversed]

I honestly cannot see the difference at all, so it leads me to believe in motion it really won't matter to me if I do indeed buy this game.

if u look at the first picture and the second u will see that the second have very white/yellow color of the left side of the man face where u wont see that in the ps3 picture!!

ps3 wins this game!! but by a little so nothing to get worked out for!! both versions r great!!

PS3 FTW

[The Judderman]

The 360 always wins i don't know why they bother comparing them anymore. Its just becoming embarrasing.

[360 MAN 2]

the 360 version has already been confirmed by ign as the version to get

[2 cents]

i`m not gonna say which one looks better as it is plain obvious. I will say, however, that the days of the 360 getting better multiplats are over.

[The Judderman]

I think i will stop looking at these comparisons as the result is always the same. the ps3 seems to struggle with textures on multi-formats... why is that?

[ToastyMcNibbles]

interesting question judder...but i think thats the last thing on a lot of ps3 owners minds considering when they are all playing killzone 2

[REALgamer]

Here's from a hardware perspective explained in non-technical terms:

The PS3's memory is split in half - 256mb super-fast video ram, 50% regular ram. The 360 has 512mb super-fast unified ram.

So overall they have the same amount of memory.

HOWEVER

Textures are stored in video ram for fast accessing. This means a developer can fill up a maximum of 256mb video ram in the ps3 (the regular 256mb ram block is used for other game assets), however if they need it in the 360 they can go beyond the 256mb because the 360 uses a large 512mb block for everything and they can sacrifice space for other elements that would usually be stored in regular ram (eg: sound, geometry) in exchange for sharper textures.

Hope that explains it well enough. =)

By the way this is ONLY for textures talking about here - ps3 excels in other areas such as shaders, lighting and physics.

EDIT:
I got a disagree? Sorry to say it but you can't disagree with the exact specs of the consoles. Look it up yourself. This is how they work, not a matter of personal opinion.

[Ghoul]

edit nvm i wont even bother correcting your specs

just a hint why your argumentation is utter nonesense, read some tech documents if your rella interested in such things (and i dont mean the specs sheet). Learn how different ram can be used, what streaming really is and how textures are processed.

and its not simply because of some specs you post that either version lacks certain things (wich in re5's case absolutly isnt because the game looks the same ffs, only the render style is a wee different but thats because of the 360/ps3 itself. ps3 has a different output method then the 360.)

Re5 looks gorgeous on both plattforms, claiming either version is superior is pure fanboy bull.

[thewhoopimen]

The reason why you got all those disagrees is for the same reason "you" should look up the specs.

the PS3 XDR ram is far faster than the xbox360 DDR3. And the ps3's "regular" RAM just happenes to be DDR3 as well.

The reason why multiplats have trouble on the ps3 is because most 3rd party studios program the way they've always programmed for ages now. In that setup, the 360 works exactly like a PC and no optimizations really need to be made. With the split memory/processor architecture of the ps3, most 3rd party devs don't want to take the time to optimize for 2 different memory banks and 7 different coprocessors. They just treat the PS3 like its a single core, 256mb system... hence the really inferior ports at the beginning of this gen. Unfortunately, optimization means time/money 'wasted' for 3rd parties so they don't bother much. They're really dependent upon Sony's ability to come up with the threading solution.

However, that will ultimately change now that Sony has really upped the ante by releasing new resources, techniques, and even a sophisticated 3D engine from making Killzone2.

As you can see from that title, the ps3 is a real standout when it comes to multiple lighting, shadows, physics and AI.

Both of them posts are from you correct?

Got to love the PS3 fanboys double standards they spend all day slating the 360. And love all so much to slate anyone that could happen to pre-fair the 360 calling them a fanboy. Although I agree with you both version's look the same however it could run a little better on the 360 from what I have read. The last person I want to hear it from though is a little raving hypocrite.

Please explain where your opinion of the 360 lacking horse power comes from? If you don't have an extremely valued explanation I will simply call you a raving hypocrite with double standards as stated above. Because as far as am aware no game has maxed out the 360 yet and just because the PS3 currently has the best looking console game doesn't mean its going to stay that way.

[Ghoul]

nice try ryudo read again
i didnt say that the ps3 version is better or vice versa. i said i "wouldn't be suprised" if the ps3 has a unique made motionblur effect.
And i contert the guy asking why the ps3 one is so blured, in fact you cant screenshot the exact same frame on the consoles so maybe on the ps3 one its a frame further where motionblur is applyed.

the games look the same mate i clearly said so.

i have all consoles and gaming for 25 years now, try again another time calling me a fanboy.

[Major_Tom]

You got the specs wrong, especially since the XDR ram is blazingly fast. Suggest you relocate your sources and read them more carefully next time to avoid embarassment.

[SiLeNt KNighT]

haha realgamer that was a funny post. huh it was meant to be serious? ehh sorry then because you sound sooo foolish. "super fast ram" "regular ram". man with terms like that you must develop games for both systems huh? before you go off on a technical rant get your facts straight. i could care less to try to explain the real facts to you as they would only fly over, possibly through your head. the wii has 'super DUPER' fast ram but its split into three so thats why the chicken came before the egg.

you fail in every way possible at trying to make a valid point. maybe we need to check if the 360's RROD alters brain waves and lowers IQ. hey, after reading some of these post it could happen.

[edhe]

Yes, the custom blur filter on the ps3 is called the Vaseline filter :)

[REALgamer]

If you read the first part of my post you'd see I was saying I'd explain it in non-technical terms - ie: not going into XDR or GDDR3.

XDR ram is incredibly fast but FEW DEVELOPERS USE IT FOR TEXTURES as it requires seperate coding which can limit the bandwidth when transferring it for GPU processing. The original question was (now listen carefully) why TEXTURES most often look better in 360 multiplatform games, and there's the answer:

It's easiest to stick textures in the video ram, GDDR3 in both platforms. However, the 360 uses 512mb GDDR3 ram while the PS3 uses 256mb GDDR3 ram. Hence, more potential space for TEXTURES. The XDR ram is difficult to stream textures from which is why it's used for other assets in most multiplatform games.

Sorry if there was some confusion, but I was talking about TEXTURES as the original question, If you want to get into other aspects that's where XDR comes in, but for most developers textures are streamed to the video ram and NOT the XDR ram despite the XDR's incredible speed due to coding issues.

So in the end, the possible VIDEO ram (that's the GDDR3 to remind you all) the 360 has a possible 512mb while the ps3 has a possible 256mb.

Hence, often higher-res textures in 360 multi-plats.

Another reminder: only talking texture shere, not anything else. And textures very rarely use XDR ram so we can IGNORE it in this explanation.

[OmarJA]

By looking at first four pictures, the PS3 version wins easily...

Trophies + free online + Home content = superior version confirmed.

not just hope content, but HOME INTEGRATION. This is the first 3rd Party game to support Home by %100 percent, that means, a Home space, Home stuff, Home clothing, Trophies and Game Launching.

Ha ha yeah whatever. Nice living in a dreamworld is it.
Judging by the pics the xbox one is obviously better unless you are blind or stupid, and add in the dlc which will no doubt be coming and its obvious which is going to be the better version. Home content.. ha ha priceless.

[Doomster1971]

I'll wait till I see a comparison of the game in play before I deside which one I'll buy. If I was to go by the demo then it would be the 360 version on account of it running better than the ps3 one. That might have changed for the release though.

[The Peoples ARMPIT]

Umm after killzone2 is there really a reason for these comparisons? Th best game so far this gen is on the ps3 so these comparisons are moot.

CAN YOU SMELL ME?

[REALgamer]

This article has nothing to do with Killzone 2?

Believe it or not people want more than 1 game to play in a console generation.

[Ghoul]

that smelly armpit was talking about comparisons.

see comparisons really only started from the 360 camp to show how f... superior the 360 is. well time has changed a comparison is in 99% worthless. and killzone 2 is the proof that every further discussion is useless.

todays choice is mainly only a matter of controller preference, and if you want to pay for live or not. for example.

but graphics are the least im interested in comparisons.

[Lelouch V Brit]

You're Right about this: "This article has nothing to do with Killzone 2? "

Every Article Some Idiot Put The Same sentence killzone has the best graphics, We Already know about this.

[Doomster1971]

Yes there is. It helps people like me decide what version to get.

[pwnsause]

killzone 2 has to be put into discussion. It gives lots of questions as to why developers are struggling, or what they are doing on the PS3 side of things. RE5 could look a lot better on the PS3 if it was running on that platform as lead.

[Armyless]

helps prove the point that the RE5 comparison has nothing to do with hardware "superiority"... it proves that the comparisons are merely a reflection of the software development that went into making RE5 foreach console, since Killzone 2 looks better than either of them.

[evrfighter]

Since kz2 came out it's like you (SDF) can't understand that developers don't have 50 million dollars and 4 years to throw into a multi-platform game. comments like this

"killzone 2 has to be put into discussion. It gives lots of questions as to why developers are struggling, or what they are doing on the PS3 side of things."

are just hilarious.

[pwnsause]

you dont get it do you? we all know 3rd party games cant outwit 1st party games (unless there are companies who want to take the exclusive route and takes full advantage of a certain platform), but there are certain 3rd party games out there that are below standard. RE5 is an example of games that are below the standard of this generation. the game's animations are last gen and its gameplay is last gen.

in other words, its RE4 with an new coat of paint. there is a game called Dead Space thats available right now in your local game shop, you should check it out. it plays similar to RE5, but its more suited to this generation of gaming, and it stays on the standard on how this particular game should be made. it also keeps the horror aspect of the game while maintaining the action. an example that you dont need $50 million to make a good game. I remembered a few people on this site hating on this game because they thought that RE5 was going to "destroy" it, when in fact RE5 cant even light up a candle on Dead Space, and this is a person who has been playing Resident Evil since the Franchise took off back in the PS1 era.

The reason why I put killzone 2 into discussion is because its doing things that every developer should be able to pull off this gen, like animations and AI, which is something that RE5 lacks. You see 1st party games are games that set the example on what 3rd party games can do on consoles, Similar to what Microsoft's Gears of War did back in 2006. RE5 lacks AI and animations, they are last gen. Why dont you play the Demo and see what Im talking about? sure, 3rd party game wont have ridiculous visuals that Killzone 2 pulls off because it takes alot of time and money to pull that off (although not anymore since the engine is done), but animations and AI can be compromised. So it begs the question, what the hell was capcom doing over the last 3 years while making this game? what were they thinking? did they play games like gears to understand what people think is standard for this gen, have they played a game like Dead Space to see how its gameplay and controls became successful? but you dont understand that, since you are wearing your MDF (Microsoft Defense force) goggles on this discussion, when systems are getting the same game.

you shouldnt be in this discussion if you are not an RE fan like I am who wants to see its franchise keep growing and becoming better.

The 360 version pictures are more blurry. Both are nearly identical but the ps3 has the edge. It seems that the 360 has reached its limit folks.

It is displaying ita famous aliasing issues once more.

Not only that but it is missing the texture detail of the 360 shots.

To add insult to injury, the 360 version seems to have better lighting and smoke/fog effects.

Dear oh dear.

dont care what looks better the exclusive ps3 contents on home has my pre order down weeks ago

Home features

treasure hunt mini game
some hidden room
and and a lot more soon
a arcade machine

my advice own a ps3 get for ps3
plus the controls feel a lot better

[dale1]

all these multiplat comparisons,you don,t notice nothink when the games running,first off it was video comparisons now the multiplats are so close they have started to use screen shots,its that close to call,some multiplats look better on ps3,some look better on 360 thats the bottom line.now exclusives well thats a different story i think we can all agree ps3 kills the competition period

[thewhoopimen]

If having slight edge aliasing differences is a "kill"...then the ps3 has long pwned the 360 in lighting/shadowing, multiple AI, physics, sound departments already. 7.1 uncompressed audio on ps3 says that your 128-256kbps mp3 files on the 360 are a HUGE joke.

A multiplat title with <1% difference is called a "wash". Especially if you have to sit a foot away from the screen to tell the difference.

I can sit 10 feet away from the ps3 to see how much more characters, mo cap animation, sound and lighting interactions are playing on it compared to comparable 360 titles. Who's killing whom?

who sees edge aliasing at 10 feet away on a 40-62" screen anyway? Why is it that I get the impression that most exclusive 360 gamers are playing on HD screens less than 32", on a CRT or on a computer monitor? Why is there always silence on the 360 reviewers' front whenever there's a home theatre setup involved? Oh yes, this ps3 game doesn't feature co-op! minus one point! Oh wait the 360 doesn't feature DTS-MA or Dolby 7.1? oh let's ignore that fact, b/c most of 360 audience don't have a sound setup.

[Zeus Lee]

No,it definitely has better color on the Ps3.

[table]

i don't think so. fanboys of 360 say its version better and fanboys of ps3 say its version is better. in reality they are identical. infact i think this comparison is a hoax and they are the same screenshots only compared to make the fanboys look like idiots.

[farhsa2008]

im getting it for ps3, it was made for the playstation first of all.

[Neoraf]

This game was made on a PC/360 architecture.
The PS3 version is a port.

Just like RE:Code Veronica on the PS2 is a PORT from the original Dreamcast version.

[farhsa2008]

er maybe if you read my statement correctly you would know that i meant it was created on the PLAYSTATION!

Jason you must truly have no life what so ever. I think those fanboy goggles that M$ gives you when you service Steve Ballmer has really screwed up your eye site.

[Spike47]

And with Killzone 2's release, there is no need for PS3 owners to argue over graphics.

[darkequitus]

because as PS3 owner, I am only ever going to own KZ2. No other game matters now. Every game can look rubbish as long as there is KZ2. I bought that machine just for that game alone. Sarcasm ends.

[hippo24]

Not that I give a rats arse about graphical comparisons but...

So if I have ONE game that looks good, all the rest can be a flaming pile of crap...because that one game somehow makes the crappy games better?
That logic exceeds logic itself.

[ZuperAmazingCooKie]

"because as PS3 owner, I am only ever going to own KZ2. No other game matters now. Every game can look rubbish as long as there is KZ2. I bought that machine just for that game alone. Sarcasm ends. "

Your sarcasm would be effective if there ever was a PS3 game that looked "rubbish", but only fanboys think so.

Below:

Your point? If 1st party games prove themselves to be good and even better than those found on competing platforms or made by 3rd parties, then the ones that have to prove themselves are 3rd parties, not the console itself.

[hippo24]

Name one first party game (MS or sony) that was complete rubbish...

1ST PARTY GAMES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD

Who the hell cares? just enjoy the damn game, and it looks same to me..

You know what, I'm blind, these all look the same to me...

[free3sixty]

360 version wins, that was alreday confimed.

lokk at these pictures:

http://www.cynamite.de/_mis...
http://www.cynamite.de/_mis...

Look how sharp the ground (textures) on the 360 version is.

Same here..

http://www.cynamite.de/_mis...

[free3sixty]

But heres the biggest difference:

Look at this uniform, hair and the tires:
http://www.cynamite.de/_mis...
http://www.cynamite.de/_mis...

Also the 360 version has 2xAA
The difference HERE is HUGE.. we will see a better comparison soon with 720p pictures and a HD video.

[Belasco]

will just pull Kz2 out of there butt in defense anyway, so this comparison is moot.

[mrdxpr2]

the ps3 version has better shadows and textures 360 is more lighter but a little more details in some screens like the monster one more detailes in the 360 one in that one but the ps3 one had better shadows and textures...

[free3sixty]

PS3 version better textures?? lol.. i think you have eye cancer. Look at my pictures. 360 wins.

[digger18]

Your wrong sorry.

Some of the pictures may look sharper on the 360 but some look sharper on the PS3. Makes me think there is a little motion blur going on when some of these were taken.

I'd definitely say they were identical.

[mrdxpr2]

sooo true in one of the screens i saw a big diference and it was cause somebody took the picture and moved and thats what cause the blur but screenshots are nothing mostly if the game runs good while playing

[Bubble Buddy]

This is so dumb; it's like playing "what's the difference between these two pictures" with barely any differences. They both look good.

[ZuperAmazingCooKie]

The PS3 version looks a bit blurrier, perhaps because it's better to add blur than AA on PS3, and 360 simply has, supposedly, "free" 4xMSAA. The lighting looks a bit more intense on the 360 and so do the colors, but just a little bit, but the PS3 version looks more realistic. Perhaps that's subject to interpretation.

I don't think developers will ever try to make the PS3 version significantly better because it would either be pointless, too hard, too expensive or Microsoft wouldn't allow it.

Edit:

On a second thought, the PS3 version has soft shadows, the 360 does not. That's funny, considering the demo of the PS3 version was a lot worse than the final build, it didn't even have some shadows. Capcom got some things right.

[labaronx]

While I'm hesitant to say that one version is legitimately "better" than the other, I'm going to recommend the 360 over the PS3. The framerate dips on the PS3 weren't an issue for me, but they might be irritating to some hardcore gamers with a "trained eye". If you don't care about framerate, both versions are equally good....

[MADPIRAHNA]

After looking at every screen closely.....they look the same, good job Capcom.

[REALgamer]

Usually the ps3 version of a game suffers from the slight white-washing effect however this time it appears to have better contrast than the 360 version.

A reversal on the norm for third-party games.

Oh well. I have a 360 and PS3 but I won't be getting it for either since I found the demo to be very average.

Happy to be proven wrong when I play it on release at a friend's place however. =)

[DSco4]

Most of you have already realized: The differences are minimal and in motion are even harder to see.

[Death]

Seriously, both versions look close enough that the differance is moot. You will see a greater degree of differance from tv to tv depending on how you adjust your settings. Both games look great and either system owner will be happy with the games quality. Since the release of the Xbox 360 and PS3 gamers have been doing their best to tear each others system of choice down. This has impacted game sales and the market in general. When will gamers decide to grow up a little and just enjoy being gamers again?

-Death

[labaronx]

this generation.

[Ldubbz]

They look just about the same in the pics. In motion could bve slightly a different story.

Either way, if u have just one system you'll be fine with either. If u have both, it just comes down to what controller you prefer, or if you're going for more achievements or trophies.

Does a real gamer who plays games and not worries about sales and what scored what on metajoke really going too worry about a missing pixel or how that 1 frame that only a micron telescope can see was blury really going to care, NO! they both look the same and I'll bet you a dollar they both play exactly the same as well.

[XXXCouture]

rofl ironic. a retard calling another person a retard

[specialguest]

Since this is a comparison article, here's what I see.

on the first image, notice the light reflection on the characters face. On the 360, the brightness over powers that part of the face and voids it of detail. However, on the PS3 version, you can clearly see the different shades of colors and detail.

This reminds me of the "vivid" option in most televisions. It may be brighter, yet brighter more colorful doesn't always equal to better image quality.

On the sharpness side, I'll give it to the 360 by a slight edge.

The truth is, these differences are not significant, so it's not going to really matter or be noticeable while playing the game.

[ps92117]

lol 360 is brighter, no sure if that is good but what ever

wonder what collectors edition is better.

............................b d

[ultimatek1]

Lights effects are greater in the 360. Seems PS3 doesnt use AA, and used too much blur. More details(walls) and more depth textures in the 360. You can clealry see in the following links these difference, notice how details in the wall disappear and in the ps3 version, while in the 360 is more detailed and deeper, light effects are handle better in the 360, clearly, check face/wall light reflection.

Full sized comparisions:

PS3 fan always complain to who the hell cares, the're almost the same, and if u take every multiplatform game and comapare them 360 is better always with the sole exeption of a few(1-2). If u gonna spent 500 buck for a console, that cant render well a fuc.ing game then u, just has been ripped off.

Does anyone know how many hours take the ps3 version in the pre-install?

[PirateThom]

Those comparisons are exactly the same bar a small lighting change.

[Liamabob]

"Greater lighting", to you, is having any detail that is present, obscured by over-the-top lighting?

*sigh*

[mrmikew2018]

why the fanboyism? it's people like you that developers are becoming one-sided. Your pathetic..

[m0sand]

I enjoyed reading this comment, because of the way you made it sound like the PS3 can't do this and can't do that. I'm assuming you're meaning the PS3 _version_ yes? The only 'thing' that can't if there's something missing in either version is the developers. I believe both systems are able to perform equally.

[peeps]

i think unless you get your enjoyment from a game by comparing the differences between platforms, you'll enjoy this for whatever system you buy it for :)

[taco_tom237]

PS3>360

[Bazookajoe_83]

Im picking up the ps3 version because i have played the previous resi on ps consoles. And i have a problem with the d-pad on the 360, happens all to often it switch to some useless thing instead of what was inteanded.

Kudos to capcom for some great work.

[ultimatek1]

You really are blinded! What about this
Check the horrible blur effect in the ps3

Full sized comparisions
==PS3== (blurrier, less weapon detail, no AA, no good light reflection inthe weapon)
http://www.cynamite.de/_mis...

==360==(Sharper, weapon is more detailed, use of AA, great light reflection in the weapon)
http://www.cynamite.de/_mis...

The only thng i didn't like is that the 360 version in some scenes is brighter, and i like to have good contrast between object and brighter scenarios doenst help to it. Still 360 has the edge in details

[digger18]

You seem to show only the PS3 blurry ones, why not put up the 360 blurry ones as well, because there is a few of them too.

As for lighting, the PS3 can do 128-bit HDR lighting, where as the 360 only manages to do 64-bit HDR lighting

[Liamabob]

..appears to be a motion blur effect that is mysteriously absent from the 360 screens.

the screen prior to the ones you showed, definitely showed motion-blur on the ps3 version. And for the record, it's easy to see that both gun-models are of equal detail.

[divideby0]

those of you who posted either is better than the other....please pass the pipe....
I cant believe anyone would post there is a significant diff. between the stills.....cant make this stuff up...you have just lost all credibility of being honest

[evilmonkey501]

agree + bubble

[cyclindk]

I don't know what it is, but the front parts of the gun in the PS3 version seem less "angular" as though they were composed of more polygons or something, it's probably just the blurring though:

PS3 version

http://www.cynamite.de/_mis...

360 version

http://www.cynamite.de/_mis...

[Liamabob]

that showed strengths on each console, i was then convinced i was looking at the same screenshot, twice.

Both versions look very good.
though on the odd screenshot, dark areas on the 360 seemed to have a blue-ish hue to them.

*braces self for disagrees from 360 fanboys*

[BMS84]

I prefer the more darker version, it's more realistic.

[ultimatek1]

360 are brighter, i did say it in my last edit.

PS3(Less brightened, no AA, horribel shadow effects, less fog, )
http://www.cynamite.de/_mis...

360(Brightned, AA, Better shadows, more fog)
http://www.cynamite.de/_mis...

The difference is the brightness in the 360, that made the ps3 to look better in contrast between dark areas, but isnt better detailed, and details=quality. This brightness in the 360 is in closed enviremonts, the 80% of the game is in open enviremonts. Overall both are great, almost identical but ps3 falls short agaisnt the 360 version.

@Liamabob
Check gun cannon as aditional rings around. It has more detailed and deeper lines where Cris holds the gun. You must stop and see by a few minutes.

[Liamabob]

...multiplat games being better on the 360.

The detail in those images is identical, only the dark areas on the PS3 version don't have the blue hue to them.

There are different areas of this game that work in favour of each of the consoles, but i can safely say, that they both cancel each other out.

To me, it looks as if there is no superior version.

[BuryYourHead707]

@ultimatek1 - Dude you have to be one of the most fanboyish people on this site. You used the argument of how much fog was in the screen-shot to the 360's advantage. That's idiotic because having more or less fog doesn't make a console better. Both versions of this game look decent, both have their strengths and weaknesses. GET OVER IT.

Played the demo, truly disappointed after the amazing RE4.

[randomwiz]

Anyone want to take off their 360lookbetter or ps3lookbetter glasses.

Some places ps3 does better, some 360 does better. If you ask me, I'd get the version that is more reliable.

[randomwiz]

I'm sorry, but most gamers took off their fanboy goggles. I'm not supporting these comparisons, but if you have to do a comparison, why not do a video comparison instead of still shots... people don't pause the game to look how great the still shots are. People play the game and like how nice the game flows.

[Bumpmapping]

wasnt this game developed on the 360 first?either way they both look great.

[ultimatek1]

I take crysis like an example, every time i tweaked crysis for my PC, to look better, even a single detail, delvered a better experience, and ended played up to the end, better enjoyed, every single time i amde to look better.

[Major_Tom]

Take a hint; stop being a fanboy.

[devilhunterx]

get a job, you could afford more games then

[evilmonkey501]

not this crap again...everyone says that their system looks better.This is pretty unprovable either way. Until the developer or a respected source tells us otherwise....These comparisons are rubbish and not very scientific. I want exact, carbon copy , native resolution shot comparisons....lighting n such change so drastically from 1/10 of a second to the next...

[tudors]

the only thing I noticed was colour differences, apart from that there was the odd screen looked better on the xbox-360 and visa versa for the PS3.

BEST comment in the last 2 months!

as for the nerd brigade, this game looks like a PS2 game, i've always hated this crap game, i think RE1 beats this anyday!, this game should be known as the ''you can only do 1 animation at a time game'' something that fits perfectly with the LAG-BOX-3-sh1ty

[evilmonkey501]

ACTUAL QUOTE FROM ARTICLE :
"Otherwise, both versions look just as good as one another. The 360 gets the win here because of its more stable framerate, but the PS3 version shouldn't be considered inferior by any stretch of the imagination. Both versions look better than almost any other game out there."

[Spike47]

he also mentions that the PS3 version "should not be considered inferior by any stretch of imagination."

In other words, it doesn't make the xbox360 version better, it doesn't mean one version delivers more than the other.

[Andras84]

Just because of THIS I will sell my PS3 with all 83 games I have for it...no no,.....I throw it out insted and buy a precious Xbox360 /sarcasm.

[pwnsause]

[young7yang]

AT LEAST MY SYSTEM WONT GO RED DURING MY PLAY THROUGH

[cyclindk]

It will if you slit the throat of a spring lamb over it during the game as a supplication to the gods... oh yes, it surely will..

[Bumpmapping]

@ulti STFU no one cares, the details are minor,you make out like it some huge difference.

[Keowrath]

As a PS3 only owner and someone who will be getting RE5 first day I can notice in a few screenshots that the 360 version actually looks crisper (example page 1, 3rd comparisson. The detail on Chris's glove and gun is cripser on the 360. Whether that is down to motion blur I don't know, quite possibly it's just the 360 is crisper)

Both look very good, and the differences aren't enough to make an impact especially in the "heat" (lol) of gameplay. It's not going to make me go out and buy a 360, it's not going to make me feel upset whilst I play the game. Both systems have great games, there are stunning titles in all genres accross the platforms. They have both proved they can pull off incredible graphics and more importantly great gameplay.

For the people who wonder why I only have one system, it's because I don't have enough time to play the games on the system I do own (current backlog Killzone2, Saints Row2, Dead Space, Valkyrie chronicals, Streetfighter 4) I'm an MGS fanboy so I bought a PS3 and I don't do much online gaming so the network service isn't particularly important to me.

C'mon people, time to move on from this, both are going to be "crappy controlled, last gen gameplay" epics that are less than a week away!

I can't wait!

[Lawliet]

Why with all the comparisons? Both version look exactly identical except for the contrast, that is deal to TV&Console settings.

[mrmikew2018]

I guess in North America, there's more people that own 360s more than PS3s....so the fanboys need their console to be better than the other....why I don't know...I can see now that this fanboy crap is never going to die. As for people using IGN for a reilable source because of the Head to Head comparsion for Re 5.... don't....most of their Head to Head always goes in Xbox favor. Xbox fanboys need to grow up, period is going to be a great game on both consoles. Stop with the these stupid comparsion pics, quit zooming in 300% to see which version has jaggier edges, etc. It's stupid and childish.

[JosefTor]

I normally agree that I can't tell a difference but this time it is actually kind of glaring. The 360 version easily wins in this case. The PS3 version has very dull colors and is too "smoothed over/blurred". Of course if u play the game I'm sure it looks great on either system. It is easier to critique when it is side by side.

[Major_Tom]

Lol what? Did you take a look at one screenshot or something. This is becoming a joke.

[OGharryjoysticks]

You spend most of the game motionless because you can't move and shoot at the same time so they had to make sure you had a nice view while you were wishing you could move.

[jBat17]

this game sucks ballz.. deadspace is 100 times better that this last-gen gameplay.. this is a overrated game, like just like last years's prince of persia

[The_Devil_Hunter]

If it wasnt for Resident Evil 4 Dead Space wouldnt even exist!

[jlemdon]

blacks in ps3 looks better, while detail look better on 360.

[Belasco]

All of you, shut up! God! I would really hate to spend so much time and effort on a game and have it torn apart pixel by pixel, especially by you bunch of dbags.

[PeterGriffinSays]

...definitely has more intensity with the lighting. I dunno whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, but it's undeniable.

[FxckOSX]

PS3 has Depth of Filed and glare lighting, nothing those on 360.
those are can't handled on poor shader power GPU!

[ApocalypseShadow]

as they know what system has more horsepower.we're not worried about multiplatform games when the games we mostly buy are exclusives.

but excellent quote highdefinition:

**Food 4 Thought......
The people who are able to notice a missing pixel in a game are the same people who can`t see a difference between DVD and BluRay.

Think about it. **

you know i'm going to borrow that in the future right?LOL!!better copyright it man.

excellent observation.and we know exactly who they are.

EDIT:d@mn! my comment is too short?how did that happen?

apocalypse..............

[cyclindk]

I all I know is, my PS3 won't play Xbox 360 games so it doesn't really make any difference to me what game looks better, cuz I'm only getting one version and it's coming on a BRD.

[maverick1191]

360 has reached its limits graphically so multi plat games suffer because of this but ps3 wins this round

[The_Devil_Hunter]

Its the end of the road for the 360 (graphically) but the PS3 has yet a lot to show us.

Gears Of War 2 is the las best looking game 360 will have, unless Alan Wake comes to the picture.

[THAMMER1]

PS3 version is jaggy as h@ll.

[cyclindk]

N4G won't let you say "hell?" Or were you using "@" for dramatic effect?

[Major_Tom]

I see you have a x100000 telescope, would you mind letting me borrow it to inspect atoms?

[THAMMER1]

@cyclindk I type how I like.

But all B.S. aside in this comparison the 360 version looks more crisp.

@Major_Tom
Nice joke...............I bet the PS3 version is locked @ 720p too. Over all we should expect a good game. I just don't see a reason to lie or pretend for the PS3 majority on the site. No telescope needed just my hazel 20 20's/

[evilmonkey501]

HELL HELL HELL

[cyclindk]

About the "crispyness" of the 360 version, I agree completely; just look at the badge on his shoulder, it's crystal clear on the 360 version. But the blur does make the gun appear to be more "polygoned-up" because it blurs out the angular parts in the PS3 version.

[denied]

console, Is not like they where running actual video footage of the game side-by-side or the pics side-by-side. One thing I can say is that this game will be a good one. I'll be getting this game for my PS3, I can't afford to buy a system that gona brake on me left and right.

[MaximusPrime]

i had a look and found the differences:

PS3: slightly dark but better graphic
xbox 360: brighter but less graphic than PS3.

Go on disagree with me if you want.

the blurred images is obviously taken at the wrong time. Nothing to do with PS3

Anyway, whatever console you have, just enjoy playing the game. It is the storyline and gameplay is what you after not mainly graphic.

[Bgibbs]

I'd say the Ps3 version looks a little more vibrant, other than that they are virtually identical. Of course the real test is how the game plays on each system.

[flakko]

i think the ps3 version looks more defined than the xbox... the xbox has that funky bloom lighting effect to it.

[Major_Tom]

Would you guys seriously stop, both versions look the same unless your running SuperHD resolutions I can't consider how one looks different from the other except for the coloring to the ATI GPU.

[ikral]

...dont see how it matters which one looks SLIGHTLY better if you play it only on one console? Are you guys gamers or technical experts/hardware reviewers? Do you even play ever or just argue?

[AriesFury]

Is is really necessary to compare the two consoles very freakin time there's a multiplatform game out?

[devilhunterx]

why is everything so static in this game? :(

[xg-ei8ht]

Just go play the game.

I've seen it running on both systems, and they are so close. It does not even matter.

The blurred images were taken with slight movement, i know, because you get the same effect with 360.

Fps wise, they both take a hit, here and there. But 360 runs slightly better in places.

Considering Capcom are all about 360 this gen, i'm not surprised if it runs slighty better on 360.

Lost planet, ran and looked better on 360. That is the route capcom took with their engine.

But from the demo of Res evil 5, it looked good and ran nice enough on PS3 to warrant a purchase, and online co-op was smooth.

But as said, if you like the game, get it on either system.

[CobraKai]

After locking in DMC at 60 fps, I was disappointed to hear that the framerate dips in RE5

[lonix]

one version looks sharper and washed out like ship

[BMS84]

You have to look very good and RE5 didn't become the game that i was hoping for, Killzone 2 looks better:P

[Mcrmarcher]

I can't see any difference, wtf are you people talking about? there identical.

[deno]

resident evil 5 was designed on the xbox 360 then transferred to ps3. Obviously it will look better on 360, the xbox 360 was the original dev kit for re5.

I sincerely don't see a difference.

[The_Devil_Hunter]

at first I didnt either but if you notice, unfortunately the PS3 version has some blur on it.

[FadeToBlack]

Why is it that everytime anyone on this site says anything remotely positive about an xbox 360 they get disagree's reguardless even if what they are saying has any truth? This site wasn't always this one sided with Sony fanboys.

[baodeus]

I guess this is how we get hit on a topic. Just throw a comparison of some sort between 360 and PS3 and u get instant hits. LOL....fanboys.

Hum...let me write that down the next time i create a topic.

[XDF]

X360 has the better controller for shooters, Better online, runs smoother. Oh well, add another multiplatform game to my x360.

Multiplatform on 360:
RE5, SF4, FEAR 2, Midnight CLub LA, GTA4, NBA 2K9, Princeof Persia, MK vs DC Universe, Fallout 3, DMC4, Marvel Alliance, Assasin Creed, Dark Sector, The Darkness, Stranglehold, Bioshock, Far Cry 2, Orange Box, GRAW 2, COD 2/4/5, Saints Row 2, Sega Rally Revo, GH 3, GH WT, Rock Band 2, Burnput Paradise, Oblivion, Virtua Fighter 5, Soul Calibur 4, Condemned 2

PS3: Dead Space, got it as a gift. :)

That sums it up folks, X360 is 3rd party King this generation

[mrmikew2018]

Please stop with your stupid fanboy comments...

[XxOsIIruSxX]

STOP TRYING 2 ACT LIKE 360 IS MORE POWERFUL PS3 LOL.... HANDS DOWN PS3 BETTER THATS IT. GET FUKIN OVER IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!NO MATTER FRAME ECT OR WHAT ANY OTHER FANBOISM IN U JUST !!!GIVE IN KID!!ITS TIME 4 A PS3 ADMITTED TO YOUR SELF!!
LOL SILLY RABBIT 360 4 KIDS

[mrmikew2018]

we don't even know if there's any framerate dips, but I agree with you...Xbox fans need their system to be on top for some strange reason, I can't figure it out...They have an article posted on N4G right now about IGN giving out false information that RE 5 doesn't have a co-op option in the Mercernaries mode. If this is true, I'm totally giving up on game review sites.

[XxOsIIruSxX]

HOW ABOUT WE ADD OUR EXCLUSIVE AGAINST ALL YOUR MULTI LOL...!
ADD THAT UP!!!LOL KIDS

[XDF]

Go ahead add your 8 or so exclusive PS3 games. And CAPLOCK please. Dude seriously, how old are you? 8

[donnie-2105]

ive gotten demos on both platforms and the 360 has the edge on graphics marginally.ps3 no aa or poorly done and theres the usual slight blur and some occassional details missing if you own both go with the 360.the exclusives are another matter

[The_Devil_Hunter]

They both look identical, the only thing is that the PS3 version has a little blur on it. Even so, its not like the 360 will get any better than. Thats as far it goes.

[Bumpmapping]

PS3 demo was a older build capcom has stated this and XDF DMC4 looked better on PS3 nice try ;)

[Information Minister]

I'm just in it for the hilarious flamewar and the delusional fanboys.

*gets popcorn*

[Firstkn1ghT]

WOW, looks like another HUGE title is better on the 360. The biggest multiplatform games are confirmed better on the 360. GTA4, Fallout 3, Orange Box, etc... and now you can add Resident Evil 5. Just wow! Sucks for you sony fans.

[AngryTypingGuy]

They seem close, but the 360 has better textures, especially in the pics free3sixty linked to above. There was one comparison shot linked to by OmarJA above where the PS3 version looked better, but in most, the 360 has the edge, with it being sharper and having better textures.

[ReeBlock]

WTF, these comparisons are old. 'that vs. this','this vs. that'...who gives a shiat? Why o why has the pop-culture invaded the gaming world?
I wish these stupid f'ing new-age gamers would stop using the word 'noob'too. "Noobs" have responsibilities outside of ranking up in video-games.

[asyouburn]

the fact that capcom was able to get the two versions so close on two radically different architectures is fantastic. to bicker about which one is better is spitting in the faces of two extremely talented teams that have toiled endlessly to give both consoles an awesome experience. if you want to compare consoles, do it on a hardware level and compare the systems themselves.

[spike]

Dont care about this game

[asyouburn]

the fact of the matter is, i've been playing "inferior" multiplat games on ps2 for ten years and will continue to do so for another ten. if someone said i could have bluetooth controllers with face buttons that have 3 degrees of sensitvity instead of one, an 8 way directional pad, instead of a 4 way, and rechargeable batteries built in instead of double a's, and all my games would be on 50 gb discs, and doesnt sound like a jet engine taking off, and all i had to do was trade a few in-game textures. most people would be all over it

[Chad Sexington]

I must say, the proclamations of how much better this game looks on one system or the other make me laugh, as do the spurious observations made by many people looking at these shots.

I think this has been gone over a million times before, but Resident Evil 5 (like Devil May Cry 4, Dead Rising 2 and Lost Planet 2 - as was the first Lost Planet, but the PS3 version was a port of the 360, hence the crapiness) was developed on Capcom's proprietary engine on a PC and then tweaked for the respective consoles. What that means that at the basic level, the games are identical - same screen and texture resolution, lighting models (differences are to do with the consoles' respective ranges, but you could adjust your TV to pretty much balance them) and effects.

The tweaking involves several different things, most notably, anti aliasing. The 360's GPU - thanks to the EDRAM - usually has enough left over to do this. The PS3, however, doesn't have this advantage, so Capcom achieves anti aliasing by blurring frames together, which is pretty successful, but does result in a blurring of textures, so when people say that the PS3 has lower textures in RE5 it doesn't - it's a side-affect of the anti aliasing.

Another difference is V-sync - the 360 version doesn't appear to have any, so the screen tears constantly, whereas the PS3 version has it on permanently, so there is no tearing. This could account for any alleged frame rate drops, but seeing as Resident Evil 5 barely gets above 20 fps anyway, I doubt you'd be able to notice unless you had the versions side-by-side.

Ultimately, the game is identical content-wise on both systems, the differences are purely cosmetic, with both systems having good points and bad points.

[mrmikew2018]

agreed...but talking to this fanboys are like talking to a brick wall.

[Superduper09]

Both versions look just as good I believe.

[infekt]

The game is as boring as a rock. It really doesnt matter which one is better. These multiplats are being limited now.. its pathetic.

[Dancryer]

Well I own both PS3 & 360 systems, I really wanted an excuse to buy another game for the PS3 to make it seem worthwhile having one (apart from it being a fancy bluray player).

But in all Honesty blur or no blur it looks slightly better on 360, ...so I guess thats another one for xbox :)

[stonecold3]

and as a owner of the ps3 he did noticed that the dpad suffers on the xbox360 version but as i saw the both version i notice the xbox version had some glitches in some parts of the game and i noticed it was a bit grainy i already own the top 10ps3 games already motorstorm resistence 1 and 2 metalgear solid 4 killzone 2 says hi singstar

[goflyakite]

I don't have time for multiplats when I could be playing KZ2 or LBP instead.

[Why dis]

360 version looks better with sharp textures. The PS3 version looks hazy with blurry detail or missing detail.

Some of the dust effects are missing in the PS3 version(thats why in some pics PS3 fanboys think the 360 version is washed out despite the 360 version having superior contrast.

[ULTIMATE_REVENGE]

what dust? you dumbass stop making u sh1t fron your ass

[TheNocturnus]

The Wii version is far superior, it even looks better than killzone 2.

[AKNAA]

"The people who are able to notice a missing pixel in a game are the same people who can`t see a difference between DVD and BluRay.

Think about it."

LOL!!!! words well said my friend.... words well said...

[ikral]

...clearly if i had both systems i would buy blu-ray version. And if i had only X360 i would buy that version. And would not argue here, i would play the game. As you can see, i dont have the game...

[jlemdon]

I remember when it was clear as day when u compared Saturn vs PS1 games like Toshinden or EA Games Even with Dreamcast vs PS2 you seen the difference. Ready 2 rumble 2 for an example. but this is totally bogus comparison.

[Morgue]

I only own a PS3, my friend owns both and he's buying it for the PS3 so we can hook up on thew co-op, not because of some screenshot drama-rama.

[tee_bag242]

Honestly I cannot see any real difference. I have both consoles and I'll definitely be getting it on PS3.
Sometimes I play games a couple of years after I'v already played them through. I would like to think I'm not going to still be paying for Xbox Live in 2 years time.
Plus my disc read errors are getting worse and worse. I have to install the game i want to play onto my stingy 20 gig HD which is actually 11 gig free after compulsory OS system files. Utter Bullsh#t MS and your cheap ass hardware.

Yes, just another disgruntle 360 customer

[Auron]

minor differences on the demos of the ps3 and xbox 360 and yes one did look better than the other! which one looked better you say? find out for yourself!(lol) anyways they where demos anyway.

[peeps]

i guess it's been mentioned before but it seems alot of people are comparing the blur on the ps3 shot when he's firing the gun. Have you noticed that the gun is in a slightly diff position in each shot i.e. they're not the same frame, so the blur would probably be seen in the 360 shot if they were the same frame!

i think you missunderstood. I wasn't talking about differences in frame rates. I'm saying you're not viewing the same frame...

[dp_simbol]

it is obvious that xbox360 is the king of multiplatform game, while ps3 is definitely shines brightly with its exclusive games.

[cyrus228]

game fun? yes so stfu, no one did this with EVERYSINGLE multi plat game last gen so why now????

oooh yeah this gen gave birth to millions of fanboys who care thats y.

honestly when you play the game you dont notice the freakin difference in which pixel is better, freakin tards

[qwertyui]

[Auron]

that someone would disagree with you. but anyways thats exactly what I saw in both demo versions too. I guess the 360 has the edge. but the fanboys....
