Overlord 2: screenshot comparison between PS3 and Xbox 360 version

In that screenshot comparison between PS3 and Xbox 360 version of Overlord 2 the PS3-Game seems to be the winner. Better textures, smooth lightning and more details in Overlord 2 for PS3. Overlord 2 (Xbox 360) is much too bright and a bit blurry. Altogether the site combined 29 Images of Overlord 2.

[MegaMohsi]

the 360 version too bright and a bit blurry??? Are we in bizarro world?

[sonarus]

In the picture with the girl two snow flakes are missing from the PS3 version...auto fail sony. 2 snow flakes are more important than graphical quality

[MisterNiwa]

360 Superior version, real time snow flake rendering ftw!

... He... Hehehe.... Hehehehehehhe...*cracks*

[-chaz-]

So the PS3 is lacking antialiasing....that's not really a good thing

[crazy-eyez-killah]

PS3 looks a little better but its hard to tell from those horrible shots! Not exactly pushing either platform though...

[locos85]

Lazy developers!

and those 2 missing snow flakes...... NO EXCUSE!!

[BLuKhaos]

This game actually caught me by surprise when I played the demo.It's a pretty fun game with lighthearted dark humor.

[UnwanteDreamz]

Im boycotting this damn game until they add those freaking snowflakes man! WTF first you screw me out of high def barrels in SF4 and now this? I quit gaming!

[Chubear]

If I were in the 360 fanbase I would really start taking offense that the only things being portrayed for the system to sell it are comparison shots of nonsensical BS pixels counts and meaningless crap.

Where are the hot New IPs for the fanbase to enjoy? Where are the technical pushes in online gaming and social networking catered to gamers? Don't tell me I pay $250 every gen cause of X-game chat that only EMO insecure teenagers use routinely and I can only play games online of no more than 8v8 on a normal basis when others pay nothing and are going to have VIDEO X-game chat and games that are in the range of 5v5, 16v16, 20v20, 30v30 and 128v128 with 16v16 as standard.

Where are all the hot in-house games from the company, MS that I'm supposed to support? why is it all the hot games are multiplatform? I see the first year of the 360 having new IPs in Chorme hounds, Kameo and Prey and an exclusive in PD:0 but I look at the PS3's first year and see a tonne of new IPs in R:fom, Motorstorm, Uncharted, Lair, Heavenly Sword, Eye of Judgement; Folklore etc with many other known exclusive IPs in Warhawk, R&C etc etc and many other new PSN IPs. and several of these new IPs have sequels out or coming out but no Kameo 2 3yrs later, why?

[Syronicus]

They both look pretty good. Can't tell a difference enough to complain about either one.

And to the Kameo 2 comment... Yeah baby, Kameo 2 would be slick. I loved the first one.

@1.3: "So the PS3 is lacking antialiasing....that's not really a good thing"

So if the PS3 is blurrier the 360 has better textures, but if the PS3 is sharper the 360 has better AA?

[SaberEdge]

I downloaded both demos and the main difference I noticed right away is that the PS3 version has quite a bit of slowdown here and there, while the 360 version's frame rate seemed pretty stable.

[Oner]

@ lordgodalming "So if the PS3 is blurrier the 360 has better textures, but if the PS3 is sharper the 360 has better AA?"

Someone give this man a prize! I'll just give you a bubble & agree :)

[commodore64]

I find it a bit embarrassing that the contributor of this article had to add his SDF spin, when in fact there was no text contributed by the link website.

The link only shows some VERY blurry screenshots.
It makes no inference whatsoever and has been misrepresented by the contributor.

This story should be failed as it is against impartial N4g contributor rules.
Surprised it even got approved...?

Mods?

[Anon1974]

...you recently kept referring to a blogger post saying that Tekken 6 was better on the 360...because some guy who allegedly saw it at E3 says it's so, with no evidence whatsoever. And worse, for two days in debates about the difference in multiplats you keep liking to this guys blog, again and again like it proved your point.

It may be true, it may not...frankly I don't really care either way...but my point is this post is far more credible simply because it offers some evidence. Again, you tend lately to see only what you want to see and ignore everything else. Broaden your mind a bit. Perhaps Overlord 2 is better on the PS3. It's certainly not too much of a stretch. Out of the 50 some multiplatform releases that have come out this year, 70% of those either scored higher on the PS3 or tied with the 360 score according to metacritic, and this is easy enough to verify. Believe it or not - there are multiplats out there better on the PS3, and the majority of professional gamer reviewers scores would certainly seem to back that up.

Care to comment on that, or are you just going to take personal shots at me again and pretend I don't have a valid point? Let's see, are you a gamer or a schoolyard bully?

[commodore64]

*sigh*

It really is sad to see you follow me around like a puppy dog, darkie.

My comment was to do with posting rules on n4g.
You know the contributor rules, don't you?
Clearly you don't, because i see your little hand in the approval process.

The person posting a story on n4g is NOT ALLOWED to add his opinion to the piece being submitted.
The screenshots had no story, so the contributor MADE THEM UP!

In stark contrast, the Tekken6 story on n4g which reported that tekken6 looked better on the 360, was correctly formatted and edited, WITHOUT Contributor comments.
It was published on a reputable website and even though you didn't like the story, it was all according to the contributor rules.

There is a BIG difference, there, darkie, whether you chose to admit that or not.

We have n4g rules for a reason, and i urge the MODS to fail this story, as it should be failed.

MODS? Are we going to play by the rules or not?

[TheZippo]

Honestly could they get screen shots that were better? Anyways check out screen shot #8. Looks like to me they don't know which system they are talking about. They have the wrong buttons on the wrong system don't they?

[sub85]

Nice comparison, overall the PS3 version looks bit sharper and inartificial.

[TheReaper42]

no surprise, the guy doing the comparison actually used HDMI FULL for the PS3. 2nd screen comparison using HDMI FULL ever since the first Assassin creed's comparison.

[DNAgent]

"B-b-but the 360 is better for multiplatform games!"

PS3 superior version confirmed.

[Stryfeno2]

Just like a droid, forget all other comparison and focus on this one. Hahahaaa how can you tell with these bad screenshots?

[Orange]

the game just looks terrible, period.

but 1up gave it an A-. I love their opening sentence "It's kind of a cliché in BDSM circles that the sub is really the one in charge of things, and it's a truism that easily carries over into Overlord 2."

[Chubear]

This is kinda pathetic. So this is all the 360 base got nowadays; hope that their multiplat version will have one pixel shade more than the competition's when you zoom in on some pic of the game.

[SaberEdge]

Did you guys read Eurogamers recent Face-Off Round 20? http://www.eurogamer.net/ar... The 360 won the majority of them again.

[DARK WITNESS]

wow...

this is what its come to now.

[GVON]

I'm really getting tired of all these comparisons,it's as if all these blogs and gaming sites have so little real news all they can do is is post stupid articles and comparisons.
I really wish gaming mags were still the main sources of info,were you got real articles,and not a paragraph talking about a potential game mode,or telling you what another site has said before linking it. :(

[evildeli]

I'm tired of hearing people complain about comparisons. If you don't like it, move onto another news article. There's plenty of news articles to comment on, but you go out of your way to try and be condescending to a bunch of people who actually care. Save yourself some time and don't hit the "Add Reply" button if you don't care. Otherwise take note that game magazines don't bother to tell you which game they review and on most sites they use an image and don't properly site which platform it came from. You're being lied to and all you can say is "stop the comparisons" when really you need to be saying "where's the vasoline".

[no_more_heroes]

it's like comparing a brown turd with another slightly different shade of brown turd. They're both still $#1+ graphically.

[BLuKhaos]

Obviously the PS3 version of the brown turd will lack AA and will look washed out so -2 points.

[Foxgod]

The game looks way better then this, this comparison is made by a dumbass.

[Foxgod]

I am looking at the source site of this article, and i cant find the description that is put up in this article.

Is that text the personal opinion from Maikrobi, or is the text he posted really somewhere in that german site ?

Also this comparison is horrible, cant see anything in those pix, not even when i try to view them in hd.

[BlackTar187]

Does it ever get old?

Edit.

Although they dont look much different to me its another one of those comparisons that help you make your decision if you play the game on pause or in a slid show viewer

Edit.

LOL foxgod nice edit

[Marty8370]

Shame the gsmes complete garbage.

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

'KILLZONE 2' WINS!!! ;-P

Hmm...has anyone noticed that 'KillZone 2' WINS Everytime??? ;)

[Beg For Mercy]

I LOVE IT WHEN YOU POST THAT, IT JUST MAKES THESE COMPARISONS POINTLESS.

[SaberEdge]

Ha, ha, you guys are so funny. You think one game outweighs every other game? So what if Killzone 2 looks better than some multiplatform game? If a person doesn't like Killzone 2, they aren't going to care how good it looks. It's pointless.

I think it is funny how you guys latch onto Killzone 2 as the solution to everything.

[DJ]

Yeah, depends on title to title when you talk about multiplats...

[shiner]

Anybody know if the game is any good? I might get the PC version. I hope they throw in an extra snowflake.

[Tewi-Inaba]

but the 1st one was pretty fun to play :D

[dogmeat eater]

demo played like Sh!t too.

[zok310]

WTF Sony?

[LONEWOLF231]

Man the screens are too small to make a proper comparison......dont know who exactly approved of this fail comparison.

[F N A Pepper]

this is retarded people, i have both systems and i'm gonna say this once, the ps3 is an inferior product, the system lacks the ram capability to produce a good multiplatform game, every dev. who makes a game multiplatform makes it from the ground up for the xbox 360 undoubtably making it better on the 360, now i'm not saying the ps3 doesn't have great quality, Killzone 2 and Infamous are phenominal, but those were programmed from the ground up for the ps3, this is the only way it will look better, is when a dev. programs it from the ground up on the ps3. i.e. Ghostbusters for example.

[F N A Pepper]

also to add, i am a programmer so i do know these things, and by the way the multiplayer for killzone 2 would be great if it weren't for the pointless team deathmatch playing, i.e. when i go into a game to play search and destroy, i want to play search and destroy not bodycount. Even warzone is pointless cause all people do is play bodycount reguardless of the actual game in play. thank you to all who play games the way they are meant to be played, thankfully this never happens in my multiplayer experiences on the 360.. i won't say anything else cause i'm sure the snide comments left by ps3 fanboys will make my point here shortly.

[rbanke]

I'm picking this up (ps3 version), but really, who is buying this game for its graphics? Why waste time comparing a game on 2 systems when the graphics are mediocre anyway.

[F N A Pepper]

WOW MR. CHUBEAR, what's it matter if they do have exclusive ip's in the first year if half of them are crap. i own both systems and don't cater to one or the other more, but i will be the first to say, out of the ip's you mention , uncharted, and folklore were the only two good ones. lets face it, ps3 has only put out four games that are good, Resistance, uncharted, killzone 2 and infamous. the rest are all lacking at best. the call of duty series i have for both systems and have spent many hours analyzing them and they all look far superior on the 360, Killzone 2 would be amazing if the community of gamers in the game would play the actual game the way its meant to be played instead of non stop Bodycount on every game type, i mean seriously i get tired of sitting back and sniping because its pointless to try and play search and destroy cause everyone is running all over the map playing bodycount, what happened to stradegy, or team play, its just gotten way to retarded to be fun anymore.

[sub85]

I found a link under the pictures, calling "Screenshot in HD-Ansicht zeigen". It means you can watch the images in original size. Should be 720p...

[illjaden]

When will people stop this nonsence?

The Playstation 3 vs. XBOX 360 bull!"#&... I've had all the concoles: Wii, PS3 and 360. My personal opinion is that the PS3 produces better-looking games such as KZ2, Uncharted etc. but this is just pathetic. Everything comes down to what type of games you like and what type of services you like; for example: I like that the PSN feature is free, and no... It's not worse than XBL.

Also when will you people start to understand that every comparison you have watched with 99% certainty is rigged in any concole's favor? You are just being played by fanboys-reviewers?

Then down to facts: The PS3 is a supperior concole when it comes to hardware capacity. But that doesn't mean that people can take full advantage of it. Compare the early 360 Games to the latest, see a difference? Oh yes. At that time they couldn't "max-out" the concole; or they didnt have the budget or any other of the 9 million reasons that there is. The same goes for today, some developers cant max-out either the PS3 or 360 version of the game becouse they lack experience with that concole or lacks the budget to realy dive into what the concole has to offer: Thats why exlucives often is the bestlooking games on that concole. Remember that.

All "next-gen systems" of today is amazing in their own way. Wii the perfect party/family concole that also has a big amount of fanbase games. The 360 is a great gaming-concole for hardcore gamers that wants great games with great graphics and a near perfect online service with alot of content, also it has the most games and alot of great developers that stands beside it. The PS3 is not only a great gaming concole but also offers amazing media abilities such as PMS, the blu-ray, the storage capacity, the fact that u can insert almost anything on your PS3 harddrive. It also has the bestlooking games of this generation.

With that said I also want to add that the betslooking games doesn't mean that they are the best games.. Keep that in mind.

Cheers all!

[XboxGirl]

If you didn't care so much why such a long comment? Unless you have been living under a rock your whole life these comparisons have been around sense the dawn of technology so whats your point?

"Then down to facts: The PS3 is a supperior concole when it comes to hardware capacity"

nice spelling BTW way. "supperior concole" You know there's a thing called spell check?

[LittleBigSackBoy]

"sense the dawn of technology so whats your point?"

it should be "since the dawn of technology so what's your point?"
don't make fun of peoples spelling or grammatical mistakes it doesn't make you or anybody who does it sound clever

[Oner]

LMFAO!

[Captain Tuttle]

They both look like ass, the PS3 version slightly less so.

[Makidian]

I can't read freaky, deaky Dutch, translate this stuff please

[TheIneffableBob]

They look mostly identical. The PS3 version is sharper while the 360 version has soft particles (look at the fire).

[xg-ei8ht]

http://www.videogameszone.d...

snowflakes ftw

360 games always have a slight redish tinge to them.

And this game is no different.

[jaidek]

It's very hard to see the differences between these two games. Looks like the xbox 360 version has the bloom a little higher. Do we know if this was captured via HDMI?

Also would like to have seen some additional levels.

[SaberEdge]

Guys, download both versions of the demo if you want to see what the real differences are. These screen shots tell you virtually nothing. If you have both consoles, play both demos and you will see that the 360 version has a better framerate and somewhat better anti-aliasing, other than that they look basically the same. If you don't have both consoles, I doubt you care about which one looks/performs better anyway.

[commodore64]

The intro to this article is fake.

Read the reports.
Just goes to show the lengths that Hardcore sony fans will go to.

Really quite sad.

Mods? Should this story be failed?
Why was it approved?

[kevnb]

this is a pc game with functional yet much inferior console ports.

[really duh]

We will find out if these are real soon enough the pics look like they have the ps3 logo and the 360 logo switched around this just doesn't add up when remembering all the other games differences.

[kaveti6616]

My turd looks slightly better than your turd. I WIN!!! You FAIL!!!

I didn't see a noticeable difference in the comparisons. PS3 fanboys are grasping at straws here, just as the 360 fanboys grasp at straws with their comparisons. It's all fanboy nonsense that should be tossed aside.
