Guitar Hero?
Why would Guitar Hero be sub HD?

HorsePowerr5030d ago (Edited 5030d ago )

All these games are based on old engines, engines that are badly optimised for the PS3.
Not a single game from that list used the SPU's like the FIRST Uncharted which is a 2007 game.

Please make me a list of sub-hd PS3 exclusives.
Now make me a list of a sub-hd Xbox 360 exclusives.

Thank you very much.

Nothing that pisses me off more then a stupid flame bait article. Especially when since I got a bubble removed because I was "fanning the flames" by saying I was buying a game Day 1 on live. these kinds of crap articles should never exist, they should be locked up, but in the freezer and never allowed to boil.

SeanRL5030d ago

Who would approve this crap? It's nothing more than flamebait.

Flame articles are flame articles mainly because people are flaming cause of it. If you don't care or ignore it, no problem for you.

You'd be surprised how sh!tless your "net-life" could be that way.

Why care if the game has lower res on other console when it's the same fun game?

HolyOrangeCows5030d ago (Edited 5030d ago )

You know, it's weird. There are so many sub-HD ports, but so many HD exclusives on the Ps3. But on the 360, there are so many HD multiplats and so few HD exclusives.

Fracture, LOTR: Conquest, MX vs. ATV: Untamed, Silent Hill: Homecoming....TOP games? There's only like 3 or 4 good games on the list.
Guitar Hero 3? Really? It's not like the graphics are a big deal there.

Blacktric5030d ago (Edited 5030d ago )

Oh so when an article talks about the truth it is a flamebait for you fanboys eh? Your post is the flamebait at its finest. Article just states the truth about which multiplatform games are sub-hd. But of course flamewar starters like you can't stay still and shut the f*ck up when you see a perfect article which can be turned into a great flamebait like this by your kind. Your console has flaws too. Accept it and live on. You like those PS3 exclusives? Fine then go play it but don't talk sh*t about Xbox 360 and its capabilities. Who cares that if those engines are "badly" optimized? In the end those games are still sub-hd on PS3. Now go and keep living your miserable life.

AngryTypingGuy5030d ago

Wow, they have top 10 lists for everything.

lugia 40005030d ago (Edited 5030d ago )

Who cares about resolution? Choose the platform where you have the most friends to play.
Halo 3 approves to be one of the best FPS and doesn´t have a 720p resolution.

I also agree with Blacktric. PS3 ois not perfect. Live with it.

Dance5030d ago

article just stating the truth bout which multiplatform games are sub hd and which are not

SonyPS3605030d ago

Blah blah blah.

It is what it is. Games that look better on the 360. Cry about it all you want.

pustulio5030d ago (Edited 5030d ago )

PS3 fanboys are butthurt!

But yes this is just flamebait, stop it.

IHateYouFanboys5030d ago

@HorsePowerr: "Not a single game from that list used the SPU's like the FIRST Uncharted which is a 2007 game. "

every single PS3 game in existence uses the SPUs lol. the SPUs are the things that do the processing. the PPE in the PS3 does no actual processing of the games, it ONLY splits up the code and tells which SPU to do what and then puts it all back together.

the 'that game doesnt use the SPUs' thing is a complete myth fabricated by sony fanboys as an excuse for lacklustre games.

also, to partly answer your question -

PS3 exclusives that are sub-HD:
Ratchet and clank: a crack in time: 960x704
Ratchet and Clank: tools of destruction: 960x704
MGS4: 1024x768 - despite having 768 vertical lines, the number of pixels is less than 720p.
Haze: 1024x576
Lair: 800x1080 - despite having 1080 vertical lines, the number of pixels is less than 720p.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2: 1280x718

the 360 sub-HD exclusives:
Alan wake: 960x540
Fable 2: 1120x720
Halo 3: 1152x640
Halo 3: ODST: 1152x640 (expansion to Halo 3, so to be expected)
Ninja Gaiden 2: 1120x584
Perfect Dark Zero: 1152x640 (launch title, so not really surprising)
Project Gotham Racing 3: 1024x600 (launch title too, so not surprising. the sequel is native 720p)
Splinter Cell: Conviction: 1024X576

so thats 6 PS3 exclusives that i know of, and 8 360 exclusives. 2 of those 8 360 exclusives are LAUNCH TITLES, so were developers first entries into HD and first titles on a console, and HAD to be ready for release at launch. another 1 is an expansion pack to Halo 3, so was always going to run at the same resolution as it wasnt a full sequel.

so whichever way you look at it, both consoles have roughly the same amount of Sub-HD exclusives. the PS3 however has MANY more sub-HD multiplatform games.

Socrates5030d ago

According to the list of resolutions at beyond3d.com this is how it breaks down more or less:

720p or higher:
360 = 137
PS3 = 116

Sub-HD (less than 720p):
360 = 40
PS3 = 56

The PS3 has quite a few more sub-HD games than the 360.

commodore645030d ago (Edited 5030d ago )

No question.

Absolutely true article.
No question.

To all those who are complaining about this being flamebait, stop and think for a sec.

... if it is flamebait, and you know it, why are you flying right into the flames?

The best way to combat flamebait is to stay away - don't click on the story. Let's face it, you knew it was flamebait by simply reading the title, before even reading the story (that's if you actually did read it).

Clicking the story, being here, commenting, simply makes the story hotter and more irresistible to those who are attracted to hot flamebait.

The very act of commenting that this is flamebait makes this a frontpage item, ironically.... Duh!

A little introspection is required.

Don't know how, but they actually made the game look pretty good on PS3/ 360.

Couldn't play it on the PC as it had ATI issues and kept freezing on me.

I am clearly just mocking the silly flamebaityness of this article. Who really cares about 20 percent of a resolution, or maybe 70 or 80 horizontal lines of resolution when from my perspective as a Pc gamer ya'll console only gamers are missing more than half the resolution and 350+ lines lol

No big deal

Seems like a good deal to me.

Persistantthug5030d ago

Although lots of people dismiss or plain forget about this game because they are personally not sports fans,

It should be noted that this game is a gorgeous looking game that runs in native 1080p.

There are lots of sports games that aren't doing that....not football, not basketball, not hockey, not the other baseball games...heck, not even golf.

But for what ever reason, MLB THE SHOW runs in full 1080p. It's a technical marvel regarding sports games for consoles.

The PS3 isn't more powerful than the 360. That is a myth spread by Sony to try to undermine the momentum the 360 had built up in the marketplace.

Most dependable sources (i.e. not first party Sony devs) have said that the two consoles are fairly equal in power. In fact, a few have said the 360 is effectively more powerful.

Other than that I agree with everything you said.

Persistantthug5029d ago

Obviously the PS3 is more powerful than the XBOX 360.
why? Where's the proof?

Because in 2010 most of XBOX 360's own retail exclusives have had to run in SUB HD native resolution in order to do what they do. Splinter Cell Conviction, Alan Wake, and Halo: Reach....all of them were supposed to represent the best of what XBOX 360 had to offer, and they are all SUB HD.

PS3 has had more than double the retail exclusive games for 2010 and every single one of them is native HD. In fact, some of its games have been full 1920 x 1080p (MLB THE SHOW, White Knight Chronicles 1 and 2).

So it is obvious the XBOX 360 isn't as powerful as the PS3.

I'll pm you if you want to respond back because you seem like someone who might want to and be able to have a discussion while still being civil.

HALO 3 IS SUB HD. AND ITS XBOX360'S BEST GAME.

dragon825030d ago (Edited 5030d ago )

I would say thats up to personal taste. In my opinion Splinter Cell Conviction is Xbox 360's best game.

TheDeadMetalhead5029d ago

"AND ITS XBOX360'S BEST GAME."

...I could name at least 10 360 games that are better than Halo 3. Most of them would be multiplat, but still way better than Halo 3.

Inside_out5030d ago

The power of the 360...resolution is only one factor and not the biggest one. Lighting, draw distance and frames-per-second have a far greater impact. RDR was about as bad as I've seen reported. How Playstation magazine gave that game a 10/10 for that mess is insane and also very telling about that PS3 mag. Frames as low as 10-15...lol. I hope Agent turns out better. It's taking as long as RDR ( 5 yrs ) to develop...wonder why???

"Scraping at the bottom of the trash can".

Dark Sector, Fracture, LOTR.....

Do they really want to undermine the PS3's power with this? Most of the games were from the "PS3 bashing" days.

@COR:

"How Playstation magazine gave that game a 10/10 for that mess is insane and also very telling about that PS3 mag. Frames as low as 10-15...lol. I hope Agent turns out better."

also if you wanna talk about hd games ps3 vs 360 http://translate.google.de/...

Pika-pie5030d ago

Red Dead Redemption is a real bummer.

I started playing RDR on the PS3 got about 15 hours in, thought it was a really good looking game.

Then one morning the 360 version landed on my doorstep which I rented just so I could see the differences.

My jaw nearly hit the floor when I saw it running on the 360, it looks 100 times better, shaper, cleaner, hardly any pop-in, smoother.

Never went back to the PS3 version after that. No matter what the comparisons say, the 360 version makes the PS3 one look like a PS2 game.

Sad to admit it really given that the PS3 is my console of choice :(

moparful995030d ago

I played them both..I own the ps3 version bought it after playing it on my friends 360 and aside from the 360 version looking a little cleaner there is no visual difference.. Why people disect this stuff is beyond me.. I buy a console for the exclusives and I buy the good multiplats.. They all play the same with barely any visual disparity between them.. This is just fuel for the fanboys to fan the flames.. Its ALL pointless..

SaberEdge5030d ago

No, I have to mostly agree with Alvadr. I have played both versions and the 360 version is noticeably better.

like horsepowerr said these r all old engines and badly optimized for the ps3 and even some games like bioshock and gta 4 were badly optimized for the pc

lazy ass devs...

It definitely is flamebait, but i dare u all to say its flamebait when theres an article supporting the ps3 and sony and bashing the 360. Then it isnt flamebait anymore is it?

My point is that there r so many flamebait articles in n4g now that its plaguing this website and not showing the real news.

Where r the mods??

vhero5030d ago

Sorry but I know this is supposed to be flaimbait but they really had to dig the dirt to try get a list of 10 didn't they?? MX vs ATX?? LOTR?? Fracture? There is 3 good games on that list that's all.. HolyOrangeCows got it on the nail they couldn't even come up with a list of 10 how terrible if your gonna do a flaimbait article at least do it right. People are just annoyed as the 360s biggest selling exclusive games (Halo/gears/Alan Wake) are all sub HD so have to write crap like this to make themselves feel better. Makes me sad to call myself a gamer sometimes and associate myself with people who write these articles.

Yi-Long18d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor18d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing6918d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming18d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno18d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming18d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

OtterX48d ago

I still think this release was a big waste of time. I would have been a day 1 purchaser if they had redone the game w RDR2 graphics. I still own my PS3 copy, so don't see the point in picking this up if it's minimally improved.

CobraKai48d ago

I bought the game cheaper than the remaster on 360. There’s no reason in releasing the game at that price with so little improvements if any.

Profchaos48d ago

It's nice to have it as a handheld game I guess if you travel a lot but yes the ps5 release was a joke

kaos8948d ago

It plays at 60 fps on PS5 and a higher res if you value that.

OtterX48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

Yea, PS3 graphics at 60fps and 4k doesn't warrant the price. It was severely disappointing considering they already created so many of the assets north of the San Luis River (New Austin) in RDR2 and could have reused a lot of things, or reworked things bc they are the same area at different times in a fairly close history. It's friggin' Rockstar - you know they have the money and resources to have done it.

jznrpg32d ago

I like that I can play the game on current generation console but it would have been nice if they did more to make it look better.

Profchaos48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

They should have released the game in its current state not the state it launched in. Obvious we all wanted this to be a expansion to rdr 2 given that the original map was already remade in the game lots of people though this was just going to be added in later as paid DLC.

Now the game runs at 4k 60 fps on ps5 and can be brought on sale it's actually worth playing.

At launch the game was priced far to high and was a ps360 era game that couldn't run at 60 fps.

I'm in no way a frame rate snob I defended games like tears of the kingdom in the past for being 30 fps experiences but rdr was a joke at launch
