Lens of Truth's Defense Against Ghostbuster Allegations

Lens of Truth writes a response against the "Lens of Truth Ghostbusters Comparison: Not True at All" allegation that was posted on N4G. The link to original comparison article is in the rebuttal.

[Forrest Gump]

We'll buy it on the platform we want it on,a flawed graphical comparison won't make me buy any other version other than the Ps3 version.

[RudeSole Devil]

Who cares the thousands of people that have multiple console, that's who.

[Jager]

Seeing as how the PS3 version of ghostbusters comes WITH the movie... i think that's reason enough for multi console owners to get the ps3 version.

[Greywulf]

speak for yourself. I'm not risking RROD to play ghostbusters with a better texture when zoomed in and split screened with the 360 version. I'm not expecting KZ2 level visuals anyway, for that I play killzone2.

It breaks down to "where are more of my friends?" for most too. Which isn't often PSN.

jager, it allegedly doesn't come with the movie. that was bad info.

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

Good for you!

Just realize that you are supporting inferior PS3 version. I own all 3 consoles, but if I only owned a PS3 I would not buy this game. This has nothing to do with a console war (as I could care less), but rather supporting shoddy work.

If people are too blinded by their fanboyism to even see that, then I guess they get what they deserve!!!

[ArthurLee]

For the one millionith time man! GHOSTBUSTERS:The Game DOES NOT come with the movie!!!

[Serg]

http://www.amazon.de/gp/pro...

I don't know if it's an amazon(DE) deal or if all shops sell Ghostbusters with the movie here in Germany. Usual game price, not higher due to the movie.

[50CALheadshot]

*LOOKS at ghostbusters*

YAWWWWWWWWNS

*goes to play uncharted 2 beta,infamous, mgs4, uncharted 1, killzone 2, warhawk, gt5p* (current playlist)

[SaberEdge]

I despise the people who say "who cares about these comparisons?" The answer is obvious, lot's of us own more than one console and we want to know which version of a cross platform game we should spend our money on. The only people who have a problem with these comparisons are people who only own one console.

I never doubted Lens of Truth.

[50CALheadshot]

I despise all these sites (and the idiots that follow them), that create flamebait over multiplats.

LEts end this pansy bulls#it once and for all and compare exclusives. This back and forth bullfeces is pointless. compare the goddamnmuthaphuckin exclusives and that will give you the real answer of which console can push more poly's.

but that would be to easy no? instead lets ignite a small flame and watch all the mindless moths and sheep commit mental suicide at the stupidity of these multiplatform comparisons.

[soljah]

yep who cares

its a movie licensed game ghost busters. there are all crap graphics

if a want graphics i will play my kz2, uncharted, pac rift .etc

[Anon1974]

I'm glad to see they're dealing with the criticism head on. They just notched up in my book.

However, I'll still be buying this on my PS3 based on the gameplay I've seen (and looking forward to it!) I see people claiming that by buying the PS3 version you're supporting inferior software, I suppose the same argument can be made that by buying the 360 version you're supporting inferior hardware.

For me it boils down to this. I want to play the game. My 360 has let me down multiple times in the past and I'd be an idiot if that didn't change my gameplay habits. End of the day I know I can rely on my PS3. I'll still buy the odd exclusive on the 360 that I want to play (I'm a gamer afterall) but given the choice I'll always pick the console that reliably plays my software. End of.

Edit Below: Yeah, this game was just begging for co-op. It's a shame they didn't incorporate this into the game. Still, this is the next game I'm getting after I finish my second run through on Infamous (this time as evil as I can be!) That game is fantastic.

[Omegasyde]

are: Multi-console owners whom are "interested" in the game in the first place.

Ps3 *only* or Xbox 360 *only* owners shouldn't care about such frivolous things. If you don't intend on buying another console, you really shouldn't care how the other console games play out.

Not trying to downplay the comparison because clearly the 360 version is better. If the PS3 version did actually include the movie, then I would prefer that as a multi-console owner. If they made a Wii version, however with 3-player co-op I'd buy it instead of these two.

[gambare]

If what LoT posted were truth then they wouldn't bother in give a defense of what they posted, if they bother in answer a news in N4G then they must be hiding something. Cmon LoT we already know what you give is an altered comparison of both versions and very convenient angles of a comparison to make look like a winner the 360 versions.

[el zorro]

@ Gambare

So, are you claiming that Ars Technica, Lens of Truth and IGN are all in on a big conspiracy to make Ghostbusters on PS3 look bad? Ghostbusters? Seriously?

See, that is why I can't take most of you PS3 fanboys seriously. Most of you are so blinded by your own fanboyism that you can't see the truth when it smacks you in the forehead.

[commodore64]

Yeah, nice to see LoT vindicate themselves.

It seems, no matter what is proven, Sony diehard fans will ignore reality and attempt to obfuscate with lies, denial and fear-mongering.
These past few threads in GB stories are perfect examples of that.

I find it particularly interesting to see a minority of multi console owners grudgingly accept that the ps3 version is demonstrably inferior, yet proclaim, quite illogically, that they will buy the ps3 version, regardless.

Weird that, isn't it?
Sony truly has done a good job with its loyalists.
It is almost like a religion for some.

[Omegasyde]

Same can be said about the RROD and Sega releasing the saturn and the 32x debacle.

O wait, your "anti-sony" Commodore. Anything positive for Sony is like cancer for you.

[emitsiti]

This is immature, gamers need real news, not flame bait!

no more flame bait... no more hiphopgamer...

[JL]

"This has nothing to do with a console war (as I could care less), but rather supporting shoddy work."

I second this sentiment tenfold. This is why I do NOT understand how people can get behind the 360 so blindly or any MS product anymore for that fact. Their work since like Windows 3 has just been unacceptable. And what's even funnier is how you got all these people on here now that ragging others for buying shoddy products (the ps3 version of Ghostbusters---which i agree with), but in the same breath showing their blind loyalty to MS and their products like xbox. Makes NO sense whatsoever. How do companies get away with this? We as consumers really need to stand up and start voicing our opinions with our money and quit supporting half-ass work.

[caladbolg777]

Agreed. I won't be buying Ghostbusters for the PS3, just as I won't purchase an XBOX360. I spend too much money on my gaming habit for my hardware/software to be half-assed or defective. Games and consoles are expensive nowadays, and many of us need to be picky and choosy about where we invest our time and money.

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

I partly agree with you except for the MS part.

I'm not going to try and suggest that RROD doesn't exist and that everything MS produces is gold. When any company produces shoddy work they should be "punished" for it and I think MS took a lot of heat for RROD and took a billion dollar slap on the wrist to extend the warranty. As it stands right now, neither of my Xbox 360s have had any problems at all. Neither has my Wii or PS3 either.

However, personally I think some of the MS products are great. Case in point, I love Vista (except it is a little slow), but for some odd freaken reason both the media and the public hates it. IMO Vista is superior in almost every way on the user interface side to XP yet people are clamoring for XP.

[mastiffchild]

At 50cal-and what , exactly, would comparing the poly counts of the respective exclusives do? As it stands I assume you're sayinmg the PS3 games would technically outstrip wheir MS counterparts, yes? Anmd you'd be correct.

However, does that mean the PS3 is a stronger machine on it's own? Not really. ATM Sony gives first and second party devs far longer to get everything done than,say , even Epic get from MS. Who's to say that without the pressure from MS to get games like Gears2 out to market more quickly the 360 games wouldn't drastically improve in the pixel race?

No, for me the comparison video is virtually defunct atm.

[Pistolero]

"Their work since like Windows 3 has just been unacceptable."

Coming from a diehard Microsoft-hater, that comment doesn't mean much....I have seen a couple of your comments JL and you seem like the typical yuppie know-knothing Microsoft basher....if you think Microsoft has done anything worse than Sony or any other big company you are ignorant. I have liked a lot of Microsoft products since Windows 3...the Xbox 360 being one of them.

There is a very big difference between buying a game you know is shoddy and buying a console that in all likelihood will not fail on you....and even if it does you know is fully covered by a warranty. Conversely there is no chance that Ghostbusters on PS3 might not be inferior to the 360 version...it is what it is. The fact that you guys are trying to equate the two reveals how heavily biased you are.

[Why dis]

The fake story must STILL be their for traffic and misinformation spreading in defense of PS3.

[CWMR]

-360 almost always gets the better looking multiplat games. You can blame "lazy devs" all you want, but I think most of us know that sony just made some bad decisions about the design of their console and many developers are struggling because of it.-

[JL]

@IdleLee:
I won't completely and utterly dismiss everything Microsoft does (though i do come across a bit overzealous at times when on the issue) but seriously they have MAJORLY fallen off since way back in the day. And i think a large reason for that is because of what you said: they keep just getting slaps on the wrist. They need more than that to straighten up. I for one would like to see Microsoft return to its glory but at this rate it's only getting worse. Seems with each passing generation of technology they become worse at their job. I have to disagree that Vista is better than XP. XP i will agree was my favorite of their OS, dating back for a while. As far as i'm concerned, as far as user interface, xp and vista work the same, at least on accessibility and whatnot. It's the behind the scenes stuff that makes Vista irritate so many. It really is some poor coding in there. For instance Vista is quite the memory hog (the reason you say it's slow) and this is because of poor coding and features that were of good intention i guess, but poorly executed (ie Superfetch). Microsoft's thing is that they got into a position where they had no competition really. They then exploited this further cementing their monopoly through tossing money around (hence the lawsuit several years ago) and they got into a position where we couldn't do without them without taking a large hit of some sort to our computing. And we as consumers didn't want that, so we let them skate on things. And it's become sort of second nature now to just let them slide, because, hey...it's Microsoft. (i mean seriously, how many people do you truly know that really praise windows and talk about never having problems with it. i honestly don't know a single person that truly likes windows anymore).

now @Pistolero:
and that coming from a person with a bias towards Microsoft, your comments mean nothing to me either. As for a typical know-nothing microsoft basher, i'll have you know that i used to be a very avid Microsoft supporter. however, if you seriously sit there and say MS work hasn't gone terribly downhill since back in the day then you are the ignorant misinformed one. cause really there is no denying it (all you have to do is look to their OS for examples). and don't kid yourself, yes i hate MS, i'll come right out and admit that, no shame in it on my part. but everyone here has some kind of preference one way or the other. and you definitely have a bias towards MS of sorts. hell that can be seen in just saying that gears2 is hands down better graphically than killzone2 (yea i've seen your comments too). you just try to be more subtle and sly/cowardly about your preference/bias. don't for a second though presume to think i'm some ignorant person who blindly hates on microsoft, because i have plenty of reason, and microsoft themselves have given me said reasons. you'd have to be some teenager who doesn't know any better to think that microsoft hasn't went downhill seriously. and that whole "shoddy software vs shoddy hardware" argument you made holds no water either. cause yes they are the same. for one you're trying to downplay the shoddy hardware work of the 360. i for one do not personally know a single person who owns a 360 and hasn't had it break on them at least once. and with the very know widespread failure of said consoles buying from them is in fact giving into shoddy work. it's all about voicing opinion with the power of the dollar.

I am just not happy of being accused falsely and Gambare seems to be suffering from delusions of persecution.

mm..... I hope you know what delusions of persecution is, because one of the symptoms is believe that someone accuse you in false even if it hasn't been done before.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

You Playstation fans say you "don't care about these comparisons" but each and every one of you spend half to all of your (stolen) bubbles making comments. It's not just this article, it's ever bit of Ghostbusters news that pops up. If I truly "don't care" about news on this site I don't even click the link. Why do you show up over and over if you don't care?

[JD_Shadow]

And I also bet that no one would give a rat's ASS about this game if it weren't for this huge MESS of a situation we now have over this comparison. For God sakes, just make your own judgment or try the game out on the system that gets more of your play time. Unless you're really LOOKING for the differences (as in, you're getting so close to the TV that you'll risk having a seizure because of it to try to find them), you'll never really SEE them. So can we please just leave it at Lens of Truth, Ars Technica, WHOEVER it is, being human like you and me and able to make some mistakes from time to time and move on with life.

@SaberEdge:
Yeah, man, you keep telling yourself that, like you keep telling yourself that no one that signs that L4D2 boycott petition was actually a Valve supporter, or that everyone on this site is a PS3 fanboy or whatever you tried to tell us.

@Jason 360:
We comment on them...sort of like what you're doing NOW! Pot, meet kettle!

[Anon1974]

Commodore64 said "I find it particularly interesting to see a minority of multi console owners grudgingly accept that the ps3 version is demonstrably inferior, yet proclaim, quite illogically, that they will buy the ps3 version."

Einstein said "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

Since I've bought my 360 I've been without the console just about 4 months since I've owned it due to faulty hardware and Microsoft's insistence that the problem can be solved by sending me refurbed, faulty hardware (I'm on my 4th console now). To simply expect that "This time it's fixed" given their track record is insanity to me. Why would I think that? They've already shipped me 3 broken consoles. So any multiplats I buy will be on the PS3 because it's proven itself reliable to me. What's the sense of buying software for a system prone to breaking down? Because, occasional the textures look a little sharper? I don't think so.

The bulk of reviews state that Ghostbusters is a good game, and the video I've seen myself from the PS3 gameplay indicates to me that I'd probably like it. Nothing wrong with the graphics that I can see - they're just slightly sharper on the 360. That's not enough of a difference for me to take a chance with my 360, and the extra's on the PS3 version (including exclusive DLC) more than even that out in my mind. Now, if we were talking about gameplay being worse on one system vs another, that would cause me to reconsider but that's not the case here.

For those of us who have been burned by our 360 consoles in the past, this is the most logical choice.

[iHEARTboobs]

I agree with Darkride. And I wouldn't discourage anyone from buying the PS3 version. The PS3 version doesn't seem to run as well as the 360 version but it's still nothing that looks to be close to a game breaker. If the game looked fun to you, buy it or you might miss out. If I only played technically superior games I would have never played and loved Mass Effect on my 360.

[RudeSole Devil]

The truth will come out very shortly and the one who is lying reputation will be ruined!!

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

I think the truth is already out. We got a detailed analysis, pictures as proof, a story that matches up, multiple sources confirming the difference and a forum post that is not verifiable.

I think I'm going with the latter, the forum post seems most credible! /sarcasm

[Snyph3r]

I'm not sure if i read this right but using component Video? ever heard of HDMI??? that is where the problem, the game will look all washed out using component video compare to HDMI where the console is intended to use....

[ArthurLee]

An HDMI cable WILL NOT change texture quality, they will still be "lower-res" on the PS3 then the 360.

A mod on the polycount forum has confirmed the PS3 is lower res.
http://boards.polycount.net...

"Does this negate the fact that the PS3 is running at 540p while the 360 version runs at 720p? No. Go return the game like a responsible adult."

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

I'm not sure capturing with HDMI is an option. As far as I know most content (not all) going over HDMI has HDCP i.e. it is protected to prevent piracy of content (more notably movies).

[Syronicus]

Are the fanboys that argue over this petty crap and those that bought or buy this game. It has been and will always be a rental at best now stop your bickering for the love of pete!

[Snyph3r]

The resolution maybe lower (as in details) but watching a blue ray movie using HDMI cable versus component cable will make a big difference. I was looking more at the washed out look of the picture, not how much more detail....anybody played the game with HDMI cable? Is it really washed out like this? If it is, then maybe I'll just wait until the price of the game is in par with the quality (maybe 29.99 vs 64.00 bucks)

[Stryfeno2]

For setting the record straight. Ps3 fanboys are messing up this generation. When are these Droids going to get it through their thick skull..."Not all of the time SONY will come first".

Just take your loss and SHUT THE F*CK UP!!!

[RudeSole Devil]

Awesome avatar I think I'm going to steel it.

[TheHater]

This is all about Terminal Reality and what they stated in the past.

[Stryfeno2]

I did not blame it on Sony...I blame it on Sony's fanboys for making a big deal out of nothing.

[goflyakite]

You are such a tool, look who is starting these flames, a bot (you).

"making a big deal out of nothing."

Bots are the ones making a huge deal about the comparison.

Idiot..

[Patchbox60]

I mean, the forums are too ridiculous for words. You bots deliberately make a big deal out of nothing. Pitting multi platform titles next together, only to look for the smallest, tiniest, most insignificant flaws in either version.

You know that the game when pitched next to eachother, looks equal, plays equal. Right?

It would matter if they dont play equal. Like GTA4 where patch60 versions have less cars, less people, building pop ups and screentearing issues.

It wouldnt matter, if a fking close up on a big daddy is somewhat blurrier. Because no one gives a flying fk.

Rofl bots are reduced to looking for straws in insignificant multi platform titles. Thats how pathetic patchbox60 and bots have become.

When is one patchbox60 game going to surpass Uncharted ONE?

hihihi

When will Terminal Reality confess?

[Shogun Master]

Reality has hit them and they need to fess up!

[Shogun Master]

Way to set the record straight Lens of Truth. I had no doubt you guys were telling the truth, no pun intended.

I'll continue trusting your comparisons when deciding to make a multiplatform purchase.

[Baron79]

I'm happy to see Lens of Truth throw this article up there, even though they shouldn't have too, their comparisons are the best.

Thanks for another great H2H LoT. Maybe the devs will own up to their screw up now that 3 sites have confirmed one version looks better then the other.

[evildeli]

I just don't understand why that other post is on the top view with so many Reports against it. Do the Mods do anything around here?

[jackwei22]

Didn't expect things to get this serious lol Well It has been a joy to watch :)

[mxpxboy]

I don't know if "Lens of Truth" is telling the truth or lying. But, I do know while watching them play both versions for over an hour a few nights ago on "JustinTv", they were awfully proud and quick to put down the PS3 at every opportunity. They sounded like a bunch of biased 360 Gamestop employees. They would start to say something bad about the PS3, start snickering, then try to compose themselves while saying "But we're not biased, we love our PS3's" Yeah, that sounded real sincere.

[SaberEdge]

You're a liar. I watched the same show and saw nothing like what you are describing.

[mxpxboy]

That's your problem. I HEARD them say that. You're saying you didn't SEE that. I obviously was listening to what they were saying harder than you were. You were probably only paying attention to what they were showing on the screen.

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

I think their analysis speaks pretty loudly when there have been winners on each console. Most notably Prince of Persia with just a very small advantage on the PS3 graphics that is in my opinion subjective i.e. they basically complained about how sharp the 360 version was as opposed to the PS3....

[Blitzed]

Didn't mean to post in the open zone, I need to go shower now.

[ultimolu]

Terminal Reality has some explaining to do.

I was getting this game but now? I'll stick with what I have. It's really sad how a game like this is turned into a controversy already. People cannot play games and enjoy them anymore. We must play count the pixels on the T.V screen.

[Anon1974]

Even with some blurred textures, did you not see the PS3 version in motion. This game looks like loads of fun, especially for Ghostbusters fans, and it's still receiving some pretty descent reviews. I never let internet grumbling keep my from a good game.

Case in point, The Orange Box. I played this from beginning to end on my PS3 and the game was excellent! If you went by the internet forums they'd have you believe the game was unplayable. Nonsense! There's a reason the game still garnered a metacritic score of 89 for the PS3.

As a rule I never let internet forums dictate what games I should buy. Someone always has to find some reason to hate.

[blackmagic]

Well, when I look at the LoT comparison the differences are immediately obvious even though the screenshots are only about 4 inches in size on my monitor and I didn't count any pixels doing it. I'm pretty sure that if I can easily tell the difference looking at 4 inch screenshots then the differences will be eye popping on my plasma and mind blowing on my projector.

[el zorro]

Damn, Darkride, you must have some really low standards. Game makers could pretty much throw anything at you and as long as it was on the PS3 you would be fine with it.

Orange Box, the games themselves are second to none, but on PS3 it was a disappointment all around. Half-Life 2: Episode one and Episode two were particularly bad. The amount of slowdown was horrendous. The games are so good that I can understand you still having a good time with most of it, but if you thought the performance was ok you obviously haven't played the PC or 360 versions.

I guess some of you really are happily oblivious. In a way, I wish I was like that. But I have been playing video games too long and I notice things like dropped frames and screen tearing. I can't help it, I notice those kinds of things right away and as much as I try to ignore them they keep making their presence known and it tends to take me out of the game a bit. I'm not saying I can't enjoy a great game if it has technical performance problems, but the less of those kinds of problems, the better.

[commodore64]

Yeah, Ulti.

I empathise with your frustration.
I would still like to encourage you to enjoy the game.
Of course, you'd be best served with the xbox360 version.

Heck it would almost be worth getting a 360 arcade, just for the multiplats and the exclusives, wouldn't it?

In fact, here's a suggestion, which you may take with a pinch of salt:
By not buying three inferior ps3 multiplats, you have saved enough money to buy a 360.

That makes sense, yeah?

[Shogun Master]

----------------------------- ------------------------------ - ----------
1 - Common sense says to return the game if you're unhappy. He wasn't lying in saying they played a pre-release, he was only conveying information he was told. Does this negate the fact that the fact that the PS3 is running at 540p while the 360 version runs at 720p? No. Go return the game like a responsible adult.

2 - Do not continue on this subject. We've senior members here who're celebrating a release of a game. If you have a problem with the differences in quality from one sku to another, post about it on a website that's brought this to their attention.

3 - Stop trolling our members. I'm fully aware you guys are doing this on other forums. Posting about it again will result in an instant ban.

I replied with-------------------------- ------------------------------

"Well the "instant ban" is a really unprofessional way to handle this situation IMO. What store do you know that would let me return an opened game for a different version? Should I tell them it's defective?

Anyway as you can tell, I only registered today to let you guys know how disappointed I am in my $60 purchase, so instant ban me if you want, It won't matter. I know the truth, and that is the Xbox 360 version of this game is the superior one.

BTW Congrats on releasing Ghostbusters (sorry if you feel like a customer is pissing in your thread), it is a fun game and you guys deserve allot of credit, but at the same time, I am very anal, and wished I had listened to Lens of Truth, IGN, and Arstechnica and went with the 360 version instead."
----------------------------- ------------------------------ - ----------
My next message included the LIFETIME BAN HAMMER.

Great way to clear things up Terminal Reality. And why should I have posted this on the site that brought it to my attention? When I'm trying to ask the actual developer of the game why it looks so bad!!! TR should have an answer but they don't!

[ShabzS]

.. tr should just come in and explain themselves ... they themselves or some random guy tried to discredit lens of truth ... some one is trying to spin things here... regardless the fact remains that after all that talk they made for months and months ... they havent delivered ... they own us gamers an explanation...

[ultimolu]

Hey commodore, I never said anything about buying a 360 so get over yourself. I am not wasting money for a console just to play *superior* multiplatform games.

And as a matter of fact, I think I will try this game out for myself and see if it's as blurry as I keep hearing. Terminal Reality needs to explain themselves, like I said because I honestly would not believe that the PS3 was the lead version and they release a crappy version of the game on that same console.

[commodore64]

Yeah, ummm... so all i was doing was pointing out that by not buying three inferior ps3 multiplats, you have saved enough money to buy a 360.

That would pretty much solve all your problems, plus you get to play the 360 exclusives, of which there are many.

It makes so much sense.

[Kamikaze135]

I couldn't care less if the PS3 version left out an entire character, I'm still getting my multiplatform games on the PS3. The controller is much better, in my opinion.

[commodore64]

Sony thanks you for your blind loyalty

[Anon1974]

He's allowed to have a controller and console preference. You need to accept that not everyone has the same tastes as you. There's people out there who absolutely love their Wii, and while it wasn't for me I wouldn't dream of bashing them simply because they like the Wii more than the other systems. What I do take issue with is when they make things up to belittle someone who simply likes something different.

You know, like you saying hundreds of multiplats are all better on the 360 just to piss people off. Even looking at sites like the Lens of Truth it appears that half the games they've done comparisons for actually are better on the PS3 or end up in a tie, which is also blatantly obvious when you look at professional reviews.

So it really just comes down to preference. I prefer my PS3 and thusly buy most of my games on it. I used to prefer my 360 and my PS3 sat gathering dust, but then my 360 went tits up not once, not twice, but 3 times on me. Slightly sharper textures only noticeable when the game is frozen and compared via splitscreen does nothing to improve my enjoyment of a title. Being able to actually play the game does, however.

[commodore64]

Sony thanks you too, darkie.

[Blitzed]

I think the fact that Terminal Reality has yet to comment is very telling. Its time for them to address this.

EDIT: @Dogmeat

That was an unconfirmed forum post.

[dogmeat eater]

They said lens of anal was using an old build of the game.

[dogmeat eater]

PS3 version is the same as the 360. This game is average anyways.

[NJShadow]

I LOL'ed at the reference to the HHG comment. XD

Download XBOX360 textures for your PS3. Only 6.99!

Who ya gonna call?

Of all the "comparison" sites, i believe in LensOfTruth ONLY.

[mastiffchild]

Sheesh! Who really cares about the quality of multi plats this much? I'm not a special forces pilot and don't know any either so, for me, the point of these comaparisons is dulled.

Generally the comparisons show timy differences that you actively have to look for and stop frames to see anyway-who does that in a game? If you do apply for a job at this spot as, honestly, it's the only place where this stuff is as important as this-99% of gamers will eithe buy it for the console they have, if in Europe buy it for PS3(if they have one) to avoid the wait or whichever console they like the controller for best.

As someone said above-these should never be part of a console war as they're (MP games) meant to look and play the same so any large difference is down to lazy devs or devs running out of cash(usually the same thing)and not because of the power , or lack of, ion either console.

Thing is how often have comparisons-a, been truly fair(sometimes the people haven't even set the PS3 up right, plus my 360 looks much better on my old Panny than it does on my new LG whereas the PS3 is the other way round-so it could always be set up bias)or; b, found a difference big enough to warrant a change away from the console you usually get multis for? Hardly ever, if ever for me-UI really cannt think of an occasion though that might've been different had LP come out simultaneously as the PS3 port of that is the most shocking dumn down I've seen this gen and even the 360 version ran poorly, imo.

Being really frank these comparisons, however well meant, aren't accurate enough(they cannot replicate what things look like on YOUR set up, can they?), don't often throw up a great disparity and seem, by and large, like a huge waste of our lives -and besides, if the difference was that big it would be obvious to a reviewer who plays the game more like we do than a site trawling through every pixel. I don'y see the point of thee articles at all and this argument is dafter than even that!

[Tempjf]

The PS3 version looks like crap on my 1080p television and as a multi platform owner with 2 kids I don't have the money to waist on a games that looks really bad on my t.v. So I'm grateful that sites like this make it easier for me to decide which one to buy cause who else r you gonna trust. IGN? with their copy and paste reviews?

[el zorro]

You might be that unperceptive Mastiffchild, but the differences on many multi-platform games are very noticeable to me.

You people who like to poo-poo these multi-platform comparisons always like to pretend that it is just people being overly critical and "counting pixels". But that is just a load of BS and everybody knows it. The differences we see in multi-platform games are often substantial.

When one game has an unstable framerate, fuzzy image quality, poorer anti-aliasing, lower res textures and more screen tearing, by god that is not a minor difference. Yet those are exactly the kind of differences we often see between multi-platform games.

Now are you going to sit here and tell me that a multi-console owner should not be interested in such differences?

[Tempjf]

I support them 100% I am glad to see how professional they habdeling this. Interested to see what comes of all this. All I know is that lead character guy is probably gonna catch some crap for this. As a matter of fact I wouldn't be surprised if he apologizes on that blog tomorrow. As I stated before he's an artist and not a spoke's person for Terminal Reality.

[Soul Train]

Terminal Reality lied! Like the PS3 EVER gets a better multiplat anyway.

Deal with it fanboys.

"Deal with it fanboys. "

I found your comments hilarious, the guy with a 360 exclusive character as avatar.

[Soul Train]

Terminal Reality must have lied to SONY, 360 was the lead, I guarantee it! Another PS3 cross-plat bites the dust.

[Magna Farta]

And another one of your bubbles bites the dust for that lame-ass fanboy comment.

Take it to the open zone if you wanna purposely be a douche.

[Soul Train]

What is wrong with my comment? It is my opinion, nothing more. Take your own snotty a$$ to the open zone.

[Magna Farta]

And the fact that you're being a douche is my opinion...along with the other 19 people who have ignored you in your ever-so-short time here on N4G.

And given your comment history, there's more where it came from.

[Soul Train]

Only 19 people have ignored me! Damn, I thought it was more!

BTW I'm Sorry I don't worship the PS3 like everypne else here Farta.

The true fact is, if you get this game for the PS3 and you own a 360, your a douche.

But honestly, I really don't give a $h!t how you waste your money.

[7thNightvolley]

magna got OWNED. XD. ... he seems hurt by the whole bad graphics thing....

personally i dont see myself shelling out 60 bucks for bad work. f*k that. how does that justify the amount of money i spent buying my ps3 when some dude with 100 bucks console is getting better quality and no 4GB install... imo too much negative

[Magna Farta]

Oh damn, yep, looks like you got me. I'm sitting here so butthurt I don't know what to do with myself.

F*ckin' fanboys.

[Henry Cain]

I thought graphics didn't matter to 360 fans? Or is it that it only matters when the 360 version looks better.

[el zorro]

No, you got the argument all wrong. The argument is that graphics are not the most important aspect of a game. PS3 fanboys are always harping on about graphics as if they automatically make a game good. If you don't find a game fun, it doesn't really matter how good the graphics are, you still aren't going to like it.

However, if you already decide that you like a game, who wouldn't want it to look as good as possible? Graphics are important, but they will always be secondary to other elements like gameplay and narrative. That doesn't mean, however, that graphics are out the window and nobody cares about how the games they do like look.

That is the difference.

[DNAgent]

Xbots are the only ones making a big deal about this game. It's a multiplatform game that can be beaten in a day (rental at best) so of course since the xbots have no games they try and hype up a multiplatform game. lmao

[Marty8370]

Why does reviews by 'Lens of so called truth' get posted, cos they are bullsh#t at best.

[Soul Train]

I wonder why you feel their comparisons are bull$hit?

Oh wait, I know...because your avatar is a playstation logo and you are a blind sony worshiper.

[el zorro]

So they're "bullsh*t" because you don't like what they find? How very typical of a PS3 fanboy.

Stick your head in the sand, instead of recognizing that their comparisons are often done live so that everyone can see what they are talking about, or recognizing that most of their findings have been in line with what other groups have found, or recognizing that anybody can get their hands on both copies of a multi-platform game, as I often do, and see for themselves that their findings are generally spot on. No, I guess it is just so much easier to cry "biased" and go back to living in your own private fantasy land.

[Marty8370]

Lens of truth got rumbled just like Gametrailers did.

[Pistolero]

No they didn't...Lens of Truth are right on...it's that developer that has some answering to do.

[Sea_Man]

he Beyond3D grandmaster him self says
http://forum.beyond3d.com/s...

"There is nothing wrong with MazingerDUDE's analysis of Ghostbusters. I mean, the difference is night and day and I have retail code for both. It's the worst cross-platform development I think I've seen in ages... like time-warping back to 2006."

Case closed Lens of Truth was 100% correct

If you don't who Grandmaster is then your an idiot

[ArthurLee]

A mod on the polycount forum has confirmed the PS3 is lower res.
http://boards.polycount.net...

"Does this negate the fact that the PS3 is running at 540p while the 360 version runs at 720p? No. Go return the game like a responsible adult."

[Javier19]

Fanboys OWNED beyond words, seriously do you guys need a hand getting back up? or something for the sore buttox?

[AnonUser5555]

I've got the game on PS3. And I love it.

But yes, the graphical hiccups are true. It doesn't tarnish my game experience because of love this game too much, but they ARE there.

And will you morons please stop propagating that whole "Ghostbusters on PS3 comes with the blu-ray" BS?

[Persistantthug]

Did any of you really think this MOVIE-based game was gonna do well? Since when are movie based games actually good?

I wasn't interested in buying this game 3 months ago when I heard about it, I'm not interested now, and I'm not gonna be interested in this game next month.

[sarshelyam]

...if it weren't for LoT I wouldn't even be seeing a difference. Does that make me ignorant, certainly not, but I simply don't feel I need to be cross-referencing every single multi-plat purchase for the sake of a bit more polish.

I bought this for the PlayStation 3 knowing full well what LoT had uncovered. I knowingly bought the 'lesser' version because, frankly, I don't play my Xbox 360 anymore.

It's a shame such a terrible misrepresentation has been made on behalf of Terminal Reality and I sincerely hope they can step forward and address these claims with all honesty. Their credibility is standing on a thread that can only be redeemed through an up-front approach and an answer as to why their "Lead" title suffers from "Port" setbacks.

Is it unacceptable? Look, without LoT we'd only have a bunch of fans on either side of the fence spouting out inferiority claims towards one another. I appreciate what LoT is doing, and hopefully we'll get some answers on this sooner rather than later.

[Gun_Senshi]

comparisms always suck. so many factors depends you cannot compare.

zomg x version has 10 more pixel then using a magnifying lens on 42" HDTV from 2" afar

[CWMR]

-So what's new? Almost every multiplat looks better on the 360.

[devilhunterx]

oh nooess. XB2 version is better. what will i do now?

oh wait. i wasnt gonna buy this game anyway. (goes back to playing uncharted 2 MP beta)

[MetalNCarnet]

You should care. Why would you buy a product with sub par quality when you know there is a better one out there for the same price?

It's not like were paying extra for higher res textures on the 360.

Don't you usually go for the shinier apple?

Anyway, it's people like you that give devs the chance to bring out bad quality products without a care in the world. All that's going to happen is it's going to get WORSE, AND WORSE, AND WORSE!

Why do you think hollywood is in the state that its in now? It because of the ignorant people that say "I don't care."

[GarandShooter]

'Anyway, it's people like you that give devs the chance to bring out bad quality products without a care in the world. All that's going to happen is it's going to get WORSE, AND WORSE, AND WORSE!'

Actually, anyone who buys this game on either platform is guilty. You're rewarding them with your money. If you truly care, you won't purchase a game at all that isn't equal on all platforms, taking into account systems of differing strengths(like not expecting Wii games to equal 360/PS3 visuals). Punish them by not giving them ANY money. Stop using this as a console war weapon. Band together as gamers, not by your console choice. Then it will truly mean something. Anything less is useless.

[xg-ei8ht]

You guys know i'm a PS3/PC owner.

And i'd say go with the 360 version.

Your infact paying for a half assed conversion on the PS3.

For me that stinks.

Don't get me wrong, might be just as good a game on either system, but missing stupid little fx, and wtf is with the textures. come on.

Terminal Reality were shooting their mouths off about having a very good PS3 engine, When in Reality:) they haven't.

And SONY, if you don't start using SOME QA, you gonna be knee deep in sh^t.

On a side note, i was watching tv last night, and what game popped up with a nice ad. Prototype. ok it was multi to was a good ad.

I have not seen one on uk tv for Infamous, maybe i've missed them. But don't see enough SONY ads on TV as it is.

[Goldsack]

..a comparison with no HDMI and SuperWhite On.

wow - how fair!!!

but its goooood to see how kz2 destroys geow2 with this contra ps3 seeting :-)

[xg-ei8ht]

Honestly.

We PS3 guys got slimed on this one.

Do you hear strange noises in the night.
Do you feel a presence near your PS3.
Should you really need to install this game.
Do you feel the need to b^tch slap TR.

Then feel free to call SONY'S QA.

0800WEGOTSLIMED.

Coz bustin makes me feel good.

[evildeli]

I'm glad Lens of Truth wrote this, "my faith in them is restored". I'd like to see a public statement by Terminal instead of comments taken out of context.

[Baron79]

Its time for TR to tell their customers the truth, Ghostbusters on the PS3 is inferior to its 360 brother.

I Doubt they'll admit it though - too afraid of losing your hard earned $$$, ps3 fans.

[jackwei22]

Well at the end of the day if you like the game just buy it on PS3 or X360 unless you have both consoles then well its uo to you. I've ordered this game for the PS3 from amazon, because you can't get it for the X360 in the UK since i wanted that version:(.

One more thing doesn't mean that because of the graphical truth by lens doesn't that you shouldn't buy it for PS3, all what matters is the gameplay is good and the game is satisfying to your tastes.

[jaidek]

Update on their site. They now show that their PS3 video capture quality matches that of Game Trailers. So, something is definitely up with the PS3 version.

[Henry Cain]

No PS3 fans love tight play control as well as graphics. 360 fans say they care about play control and thats it. But when 360 fans see multiplat games that look better on the 360 they say see I told the 360 had better graphics. I could care less because I have all 3 console this gen. Zelda on the wii looks like crap compared to PS3, and 360 but I love the playing the game, because of the story and the controls. Now it just so happens that KZ2 looks better than any fps i've seen, and the play control is very smooth and tight. MGS4 and Uncharted, two games that look and play excellent. Next gen means better graphics as well as new controls. PS3 fans expect that because of what Sony and some developers have done with the games made for the PS3.

[Pintheshadows]

Trust me, I have the PS3 version and it does look shoddy, but thats not this games main problem. I completed it in under 6 hrs. I love the GB films but this isn't in the same league. Its Man Utd vs Stockport. I would urge 360 and PS3 owners to try before you buy. It really is a one trick pony.

[pansenbaer]

I'm so confused. I looked at those shots that came out the other day from this website and obviously the PS3 version looked like trash. So I watched the Gametrailers video and thought they both looked about the same. So then I saw this article and went to look at their new screenshots. I feel like Lens of Truth shots look better than the Gametrailers ones!

[Silly gameAr]

Such a big deal for a game that wasn't on half of you people's radar.
