Batman: Arkham Asylum - PS3/Xbox 360 Demo Showdown

While the versus/composite elements of the new Digital Foundry frame analyser are being tweaked and fixed, here are two videos to be getting on with rather than the usual composite: first the Xbox 360 game, swiftly followed up by a PS3 version showing action from exactly the same parts of the demo.

360 wins again man this is getting old.

-Mezzo-5376d ago

It's good in 2 ways for Xbox 360 owners.

1. they have a slightly better version.

2. at least they get to play the game, because if it would have been better on PS3 it would have been impossible on 360.

FACT.

TheMART5376d ago

No Mezzo, wrong, not a fact.

Only facts are that hardware specialists said:

The 360 and PS3 can do about the same, with specific small differences each (physics, textures etc.) mostly not noticable. Although 98% of all multiplats prove the 360 outperforms the PS3.

Second, lately John Carmack said the 360 and PS3 CPU can do about the same, but the 360 GPU makes the difference here. Rage runs 20 to 30 fps on the PS3 now, while the 360 easily hits 60 fps.

Any PS3 exclusive could be done on the 360. Sony putting 80 mln. dollar in KZ2 makes a great exclusive engine that pushes the PS3 to its max, putting 80 mln. in an exclusive 360 engine would give the same end result, if not better because of its superior GPU in combination with the fact that the OS just takes 32MB of the 512MB, so theoretically more memories remains for other stuff compared to the PS3 and its OS.

lloyd_wonder5376d ago (Edited 5376d ago )

Lmao. Did you just say that the CPUs were equals? So, the 360 must be higher up on the lists of fastest super computers? Carmack was probably misquoted and was talking about the PPU, which is true. They are the same. The 360 has three, but they're slow. The PS3 has one PPU and seven SPUs, which are fast.

Sorry, but the best looking 360 game won't look better than the best looking PS3 game. 80mil for Killzone? Lol. You got proof....? Of course you don't. So, you're essentially saying that the PS3 has all the great talent and that not one single multiplatform game that looked better on the 360 looks better than Killzone? Ok. Thanks. PS3 is the best.

Once again, the 360 version wins. PS3 cost double the price the 360, but the PS3 does half as good. Nice...

"especially bearing in mind the additional tearing seen in the more open environments in the demo, most evident on PS3"

"What is more apparent is that from a cursory inspection it's clear that the 360 has a marginal advantage in image quality, owing to the usual UE3 inclusion of 2xMSAA where there is none on the PS3"

"a motion blur effect used sparingly when switching between scenes in the engine-driven cinematics is absent on PS3, and just like Wolverine there are differences in some of the lighting, most notably with the inclusion of SSAO (Screen Space Ambient Occlusion) on 360 which helps adds depth to the scene. "

Can you say another inferior PS3 version of a multiplat game like in 98% of all multiplat games?

Nice! POS3

Sonyslave35376d ago

but hey at least they got the exclusive dlc to play as the joker so i'm pretty sure they don't care about having the inferior version.

ToastyMcNibbles5376d ago (Edited 5376d ago )

what the hell? lol you both must feel so damn proud of yourself dont you? console purchase justified by a multiplatform game! lmao cant blame you anyway... back to fat princess!

TheMART5376d ago (Edited 5376d ago )

@ toast, no its not because of ONE or even all multiplatform games (the fact that about virtually ALL run best on the 360 makes a different yes, with hundreds of games), its also because of the exclusive IP's and the best online premium social community here.

The 360 is just the best overall gaming device and these best versions of multiplat games make it definitive. PS3rd this gen.

Yes enjoy your PSN download, which PS3 websites count as games sold and the attach rate ROFL

Enjoy the lag, bad AI and connection problems in Fat Princess though, it fits the fat Foreman grill for sure.

Oh and getting the Joker is like winning at the extra moronic special Olympics. They make you feel good in the end getting a price. Here is a cookie, we hope you buy the inferior version because of that!

ToastyMcNibbles5376d ago

thank you mart i will enjoy fat princess...and thank you i will enjoy the "inferior" version of batman arkham asylum.. you happy now? good lord lmao

THC CELL5376d ago

erm mart u own a ps3 u cabbage

ultimolu5376d ago

The 360 must be running dry this year that you have to stoop this low to compare pixels on a multiplatform game.

Who f*cking cares Mart? It's the same f*cking game and whoever wants to buy the game will have fun playing it.

Instead of attacking the PS3 so much, why don't you go and play some games? You can't possibly be like this outside of the internet.

talltony5376d ago

Are you serious? I bet if you played both versions side by side you wouldnt notice a difference. Anyways a blur filter not looking as good is very subjective. Most people dnt even notice a difference at all. I can confirm it looks fine on the ps3 plus the playable joker makes it the one to own.
It annoys me that you make it sound like the 360 version absolutely blows the doors off the ps3 version. Anyways multiplats dnt make a console, Exclusives do! What exclusives i mean multiplats have you been playing this year thats not on ps3?

Darkeyes5376d ago

Talk about stupidity at the max....

"Our survey says that based on the technical performance of this demo, nobody is going to be disappointed with Batman: Arkham Asylum. Both games maintain 30FPS for the most part with minimal screen-tear, and in our representative sample of around 17,000 frames, a mere 1.7 per cent of them were torn on PS3 compared to 0.2 per cent on 360"

You see how ridiculous things are getting now.... 1.5% more screen tearing... Wow. THATS HUGE!!!!! That means that 360 version runs at 30FPS and PS3 runs at 29FPS... wow PS3 SUCKS!!!! Even with a hawks eye one cannot spot a frame rate drop difference... Seriously these guys analyzed 17000 Frames off a DEMO!!!!!! I mean, 17000!!!!!! OF A DEMO!!!!!! OH WAIT IT'S EUROGAMER!!!!!! They must have analyzed that the PS3 version=360 version in the first 1000... Then again equal in the next 1000... Till 16000 they go and find no difference and at 17000, BREAKTHROUGH!!! EUREKA!!! PS3 SUCKS!!!

@Mart.... Talk about retardness at it's best... I would any day prefer BETTER EXCLUSIVES over 1% inferior looking multi-plats.... '360 is a better overall gaming device'... Yup tell M$ to put in slowly or else your pelvic will hurt tomorrow.... Whine till you get the next real EXCLUSIVE worth bragging about (and not expansions).. Till then I'll play Batman on my PS3 with JOKER....

lloyd_wonder5376d ago (Edited 5376d ago )

Marginal advantage! Not the MARGINAL advantages. I'll buy this game on the PS3 like the rest of the PS3 users will.

PirateThom5376d ago

ToastMan - Yes, a 360 purchase is justified by multiplatform games, since all its games are multiplatform.

Saaking5376d ago

So having a better version of a multiplat is better than having the best exclusives? That some weird bot logic right there.

TheMART5376d ago

@ the droids above

Its the combination: the best multiplat versions in 98% of all games, plus the best exclusives and the premium online social community and services.

Only thing the PS3 has the upper hand is with LBP and its user created content in combination with PSN.

ToastyMcNibbles5376d ago

mart along with lbp and user generated content the ps3 also has the upper hand in amazing and varied experiences like god of war 3 and the last guardian...its okay bro just relax...its okay to admit other games are cool on consoles other than your console of choice

ultimolu5376d ago

Yes Mart, use your multiple accounts to disagree with people who don't agree with your views.

This comparison thing is ridiculous now. It doesn't take away from the enjoyment factor of the game itself unless you're going to play close up the screen and count the pixels at the same time.

Grow the f*ck up inbreed.

talltony5376d ago (Edited 5376d ago )

Well if that isnt the most biased thing I have ever heard. Now I know to never take you seriously again cause well your just nuts! Go ahead keep talking your crap. You know inside which console is actually raising the bar. Or maybe you dnt cause your in denial.

Man_of_the_year5376d ago (Edited 5376d ago )

What a dumb argument. Ok i see what both sides of the fence are saying here. Clearly Mart is just saying that for a "marginally" difference in the game hardly constitutes a purchase of an additional $200 gaming console neglecting to realize that the PS3 is the price it is because there are more features within the actual console and talks about the other advantages the 360 has instead. The other side of the fence takes it to heart that Mart is pointing out another "inferior" multiplat game that is to my eyes and anyone elses who plays the game would never see any difference at all thus both games would be pretty equal in my books giving the edge to the PS3 version for the exclusive content.

This is a no win fight. The only thing that i see here is the difference in language used from Mart (360 fanboy) and the others replying to him (PS3 fanboys/girls) like ultimolu and her trucker like mouth.

I'm sure R* knows the Nintendo Switch install base and probably dont really care to port over more R* games to the Nintendo Switch tho i gotta say playing GTA4 & RDR1 on the go on the Nintendo Switch would be dope

Knightofelemia657d ago

I would buy Lollipop Chainsaw, Alice Madness Returns, Enslaved, Splatter House, Brutal Legends, Dante's Inferno, and Dead Space for sure if they were ported to the Switch.

Mobis-New-Nest657d ago

Deus Ex Human Revolution would be a great title to The Holy Grail of All Consoles aka The Nintendo Switch*. Also Haze Remastered, Grand Theft Auto 4 and 5 Remastered, Silent Hill HD Collection, Max Payne 3 Remastered, Call of Duty World At War Remastered, The Orange Box Remastered, Halo Master Chief Collection, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 Remastered, Metal Gear Solid 4 Remastered, Afro Samurai Remastered, Demons Souls Remastered, Xmen Destiny Remastered, Jack and Daxter Collection, Def Jam Icon Remake, Folklore Remastered, Spiderman Edge of Time Remastered, Persona 5 remastered, the list goes on. (*Best Selling Console of All Time)

MontyeKristo657d ago (Edited 657d ago )

Can we just get a Bully 2? 😒

iplay1up2657d ago

Seriously? Isn't it time Nintendo make a Switch successor? I mean they have the sales and money.
