X360 vs. PS3 Multiformat Face-Off, Round Three

Once again Eurogamer bravely ventures into the no-man's-land of cross-platform games development with the latest in thier ongoing PlayStation 3 vs Xbox 360 features.

The objectives here are very straightforward. Due to the way that code is distributed by the publishers, Eurogamer tends to review the Xbox 360 games first, so the main aim is to play 'catch-up' and provide additional platform-specific commentary where appropriate. Eurogamer is interested in any gameplay differences, along with peripheral or feature support exclusive to a particular console. But additionally, they are also keen on charting the progress of cross-format development more generally, so they also provide technical observations and comparison shots that highlight the similarities and differences between the various versions.

And the winner is.................Capitalism.

Now lets compare my toilet to your toilet, and see which is better. My toilet wins cause it eats my crap...lol

Quit it with these dumb comparisons.

[edit]@kurruptor....and you felt the need to tell me this, you hypocrite baboon.

kurruptor6142d ago (Edited 6142d ago )

The only dumb thing is...

You coming into these threads which you think are dumb. Just don't click the link, is it that hard?

[edit] @Bill Gates... how exactly am I a hypocrite? I called you dumb because you purposefully went into a thread that you had no interest in, just to complain. That is just ignorant.

Is that what I did? No, I don't think so.

It's pretty funny that you are still coming back into this "dumb comparison" thread.

AngryTypingGuy6142d ago

If the PS3 came out on top in most of these, this article wouldn't be so stupid to you. This is just a case of sour grapes.

ALI G6142d ago

why compare multi-platform ? if you compare than compare exculsives becuse that shows what the platform is capable of

kevoncox6142d ago

How can you compare exclusives?
Which looks better NG or GOW? Most won't be able to tell you. When you compare exclusives there are too many variables to be conclusives. For example, anytime you chime that FF13 looks better than anything on 360, someone can always say...What would it look like on 360? Would it look better or worse? What would GOW had looke dlike on xbox? You need to comapre multiplat games. After all you are trying to see which console looks best. If you were trying to see which car is fastest from 0 -60. You would run them on the same track. You wouldn't have one on a 1/4 drag track and another on curved track. You need a constant to make sure the comparisom is equal.

dantesparda6142d ago (Edited 6142d ago )

Well said Kevoncox, i totally agree with you. And i like these comparisons

And you bring up some good points too BlackCountryRob (below me), but i still like to see how they compare

BlackCountryBob6142d ago

Lets be honest, this kind of stuff only really is of interest to fanboys and the lucky few who own both a 360 and a PS3 and for those they were always more likely to get the 360 version for the multi player mode.

Enjoy your games everyone, regardless of what system they are on!

kingboy6142d ago

i love gaming, nuff said.

fury6142d ago

How can one disagree with that statement...?

kornbeaner6142d ago (Edited 6142d ago )

They seems to flip depending on the resolution.

The PS3 seems darker at 720 while the 360 seems darker at 1080.

I wonder why that is?

<EDIT>

LOL somebody actually disagreed with my comment, WHY?

Skizelli6142d ago

"LOL somebody actually disagreed with my comment, WHY?"

Because fanboys think their opinion actually matters. :D

If this is true, I hope it leads to Morrowind getting remade next.

-Foxtrot8d ago

I thought they’d go for Morrowind first to be honest but this is a welcoming surprise to tide us over before ES6

TheColbertinator8d ago

Well said. Exactly my thoughts too.

Tedakin8d ago

Unreal Engine isn't efficient for open world games, so I question the reliability of this story.

isarai8d ago

Yeah, 1st thing that came to my mind too, although i CAN see it being likely for ease if use, but it's not going to run very well if so

Tacoboto8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

I'd wonder if it would just be exploiting Unreal for graphics but the underlying engine/logic is still the original framework.

Like how we had the graphical remakes of Halo Anniversary, Tomb Raider I-III, and Demon's Souls.

Could also end up a disaster like the GTA Trilogy

mkis0077d ago

I have heard that too but even if it's modified isnt arkham knight UE?

Fragslayer7d ago

"remake will run both an Unreal Engine 5 project and the old Oblivion project. For instance, new graphics are rendered in the Unreal Engine 5 project, but most of the gameplay and physics are still done on the original Oblivion engine"

So with this logic it'll run just fine using UE5 tool sets on top of Gamebryo's engine or maybe even Creation Engine, who knows.

Hopefully modders can fix the aged combart in this game if this is true. Enemies leveling up with you broke and defeated the whole purpose of leveling up.

Fragslayer7d ago

Yeah it could use some tuning for sure hence the need for a Remake not a Remaster. I'm surprised it's even a conversation within them group which makes me skeptical it's Oblivion. I wouldn't say they shouldn't level up at all though maybe just a leave them a couple levels behind to appease the masses.

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

RavenWolfx9d ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

ZeekQuattro9d ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B9d ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21839d ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh9d ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia9d ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

MasterChief36248d ago

I thought it looked awful, but I actually fell in love with it. To this day one of my favorites on the Switch.

jukins9d ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

MasterChief36248d ago

Yeah I'm kind of miffed about that headline. But the information in the article does give me a little hope. I really want to play these games on the PS5! I would assume if Activision actually is planning on relisting them on the Xbox Store, it would be relisting them on the PS Store as well?

Abnor_Mal9d ago

The first game was the best imo.
