1UP's Stuntman Preview: 360 Edges Out The PS3 Version

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe: The best version award goes to...?

Stuntman: Ignition will be hitting three consoles in the next few weeks, and whether you're a platform purist or you just want the best version available, there are some important differences between the PS2, PS3, and Xbox 360 games that may influence your buying decisions. For one, the PS3 version's release date has been pushed back behind its PS2 and 360 counterparts, possibly for additional optimization, so PS3 owners will have to wait a bit longer to play.

[nomuken]

Its stuntman, who gives a shat

[kevoncox]

Yup no one cares....when it's the same thing over and over. All multiplat games are better on 360. Stop b*tching and accept it.

Just so they can get the flamboyant title "360 Edges Out The PS3 Version" they took THIS line out of the full review: "If your online reputation and the easy access to downloadable content appeal to you, the 360 version looks to edge out the PS3 version here" (after saying both version are exactly the same! Two meaninfull points and suddendly, the 360 edge the PS3 again : )

Let see, it edges the PS3 because it has achivement points! (They even laugh at this in the article: "They also have high-score leaderboards as well as "accomplishments," which are badges and Taurus Awards that you earn throughout the career mode. On the 360 version, however, these accomplishments translate into achievements that boost your gamerscore. (Hurrah for imaginary points.)"

Second point, they say you can download themes, pics, etc, from the mainscreen of the game while you have to get to the XMB for the PS3 and I forgot some of these may not be available for the PS3... Dang, I won't get the aftershock movie thing? . Wow, what a big deal! Here's the quote: "In the 360 game, there's an option on the main screen to take you to Stuntman's downloadable content page on Marketplace, where you can pick up dashboard themes, gamer pics, vehicle packs, and a playable "director's cut" of the movie-level Aftershock (some of these will be on the PlayStation Network as well).

So it EDGES the PS3 because I cannot download pics from the main screen of the game and I cannot get achievements points. I should go throw myself of the a bridge : ) Sadly now, every 360 games from now on will edge the PS3 because it won't have achievements points... LOL

[socomnick]

Not a big deal, this game sucks anyway.

[power of Green]

Yes it does.

[Robotz Rule]

I though I was the only one who though this game sucks:)

[MK_Red]

Agree with you but I hear its getting decent reviews (ranging from 7 to 8)

The game has a good concept and I liked the original on PS2 but this game has a rather poor execution and mediocre graphics and since even with such no-so-good graphics the frame-rate is so low and there are so many issues...

[i Shank u]

i loved the original on ps2. just d/l this demo the other day, and its alright, id say a fun rental. the grphx need some work

[Anything but Cute]

The game looks the same XBOX 360 version has a few extra live features. But they didn't say graphics or anything is any different.

[sjappie]

Also it's coming out later than 360 and ps2. Crap game anyway.

[Ri0tSquad]

Its not as fun as it looks.

[The Dude]

The 360 always looks better than the ps3 version.

[nomuken]

.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

can I at LEAST hang this guy?

[Gizmo_Logix]

Did you even read the article silly boy?!

[Ri0tSquad]

Because if he did then he would know it had nothing to do with what version looks better.

[Bathyj]

Victim of "The Misleading Title Syndrome."

[AIZEN SOZUKE]

not better in exclusives,

wanna know why?

cause multiplat isnt next gen,

ps3 can shine like it really can with exclusives idiot,

aww cant get it, cheer up

by Aizen Sama

[Loudninja]

I mean building a game around stunts

[MarioFromTexas]

The 360 edges the PS3 version because of live theme packs, First off live cost $50 a year, theme packs cost money...So based on the game itself their both identical( Am I right or am I over reacting since I dont' buy themes packs for my 360 and I could careless about achievement points..I hate 1up.com they are the most bias anti PS3 sack of Sh1t in the WWW. I hope they do go bankrupt, maybe if they would write articles about games then more people would visit that sh1tty azz website. I'm sorry but I have both systems and PSN is really good if you like multiplayer games, very good, lag free good

[toughNAME]

u do not have achievement points..thats why u dont care..bcuz u CANT care

and multiplatform games look better on the 360...wheres the biased BS?

[Ju]

Hm, I don't think you are overreacting. I don't think the article itself is not that bad, but why does it deserve this headline ? If that's the trend in future reviews, the PS3 has already lost then. You can say with certainty that PS3 games do not support XBL. How can that be a valid point in a review for a PS3 game ? [shaking my head].
But, maybe, and if I look at the general perception here, people think the game is crap. That maybe the only way to get people to read the review (??)

[MarioFromTexas]

What are they good for? you can't do crap with them, if a game is good why would you need crap like this to keep you playing...Just my point only crappy games need acheivement points for playing them...I bought my 360 for gears of war, and I don't even have half of the acheivements so why would I care about achievements points on average games.

I think xbots like to exaggerated how good live is, but really most gamers just want to play online and PSN wins that in spades with Server support and being free

[nice_cuppa]

3000 points is crap.

if you really only had 3000 points you wouldn't boast about it.

[Clinton514]

Everyone wants hits to their article, so exaggerate the premise of the source articles. Popularity contests.

[boodybandit]

Sad isn't it?

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

You're "starting" to see a trend?

I've been on here since E3 05' and it's been the same ever since.

It's like running a business...except you eat pizza and sit in your basement all day.

[AIZEN SOZUKE]

im getting disagrees?

i get it, i told the truth, and nothing but the truth, and got 2 dissagrees

makes good sense

[BIadestarX]

Ok.. stop getting pissup everytime you hear that a multiplatform game is better on the xbox 360. You should be used to it by now... at least you have blu-ray movies.. what else do you want.. you greedy people. you can't have it all.

"Controller rumble is also in constant use in the 360 version." ... yeah.. yeah.. we know.. last gen features... at least we have the option to turn it off...

"The 360 version has a few minor features that aren't in the PS3 one, mostly due to Xbox Live Marketplace. In the 360 game, there's an option on the main screen to take you to Stuntman's downloadable content page on Marketplace, where you can pick up dashboard themes, gamer pics, vehicle packs,"...

Now matter how you fangirls try to twist this... fact is that the XBox 360 version like in must cases has everything the PS3 version has.. + some features that arent possible on the PS3 version... like rumble.

Once again... you want the complete version... XBox 360 it is...
I understand that you were expecting games on the PS3 to have more content and features do to blu-ray massive amount of extra space... but for some strange reason... you are getting less..

Developers must hate you then... or ... ohh yeah.. they are lazy.. ofcourse.

[Blitzed]

"fact is that the XBox 360 version like in must cases has everything the PS3 version has.. + some features that arent possible on the PS3 version... like rumble."

So if motion control is added to a mutli-platform game does that tip it in the PS3's favour? If COD 4 has sixaxis features, I guess by your logic that gives Ps3 the edge.

Oh and GRAW2 as well...

http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News...

@bladestar- I guess you mean the Lair review that didnt like the motion control, the same motion control another review called "engaging".

Regardless, my point is console specific features dont automatically give a game the edge. If I dont play online (and many dont) than the marketplace feature does nothing for me. And how is the motion control anymore of a gimmick than Rumble. In fact, with Motorstorm you steer with the sixaxis which is awsome. How can the entire control of a game be gimmicky, that alone makes it less gimicky than rumble (although I like rumble too).Bodychecking in Hockey with the sixaxis is great as well.

**Edit** I cant believe you made me write the word gimicky...

[BIadestarX]

Ohh you mean... the motion control.. crap that's causing some games to get bad reviews? 1 word.. Gimick... If I want motion... I get the wii... motion is one of those features that's more an anoyance than gameplay. My personal opinion.

[MarioFromTexas]

I guess paying for theme packs adds to the gaming experaince. I take free online over stupid overpriced theme packs anyday

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I thought TheMart had the "idiot-market" pegged, but you, sir, are a fair competitor!

The PS3 doesn't have rumble because of the lawsuite and you know it as well as the rest of us! That rumble IS last gen though...cuz it's not pressure-sensitive. The PS3 will be getting a new rumble feature that outshines any previous one. I personally LOVE the sixaxis motion controls. I couldn't play the Warhawk BETA on regular analog sticks. It was just not the same! I personally think the sixaxis was a great idea; it just needs rumble!

Since when has the Wii not been a gimmick? I hardly touch that thing anymore! The motion controls are so boring! I don't feel like I'm playing tennis, baseball, bowling, golf, or boxing when I play Wii Sports.

It's just plain annoying!

[Tru_Blu]

For real, who would pay for those anyway?

BTW PSN has Heavenly Sword wallpapers to download for free, so how much of a bonus is that gonna get it from them?

[razer]

a unified gaming service over free PSN anyday. I have both machines I know what I'm talking about and I'm sorry if you don't agree but Live get's touted as the best console gaming service for a reason. PSN isn't bad if you just want to jump into a decent game of RFOM, but it just doesn't feel like you are truly connected like XBL.

If this had been the PS3 versions edges out 360 people like Bill Gates and Nasim would be in here slamming the 360, hell even if it's a positive 360 article the same group of fanboy d1ckheads are in there listing PS3 games and talking about the RROD. It goes both ways.. There are a lot of Sony people crying biased and foul everytime the 360 get's the edge.. There is no conspiracy people it's the truth and you win some you lose some. Once Sony get's their 1st party stuff out this place will be flooded with great reviews and comments.. It's coming.

[sjappie]

Blood gang member.

"that rumble is last gen" lmao, Sony said it, Leon "thuglife" believes it.

[Tru_Blu]

I'm not b1tchin about the 360 version getting the higher rating, I could care less. But how can the fact you can PAY for a theme pack be used in determining which is better?

[Bazookajoe_83]

I mean youre so full of shiit in every comment, why don´t you loose bubbles?

[ParaDise_LosT]

I say it?

:)

[s8anicslayer]

well said!

[Shaka2K6]

' ' For one, the PS3 version's release date has been pushed back behind its PS2 and 360 counterparts, possibly for additional optimization, ' '

Yeah beacuase PS3 version will be the best much better then the x360 version beacuase logical PS3 is alot more powerfull with a much better GPU.

[Ju]

"But the (still) screenshots will look much better, who cares about steady framerate"

(well, for those who don't get it, I am trying to be sarcastic).

[Blitzed]

So delays are a good thing? Thats fanboy logic at its best.

[boodybandit]

The grass will look better and you know it!

Please don't tell me this article is going to get a bunch of hits over this crap title. Seriously, is anyone going to buy this game? I don't think I would play it if it was given to me. Unless of course someone was paying me to play it.

[razer]

for proving my 12.6 comment about fanboys.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

Not suprising news of late.

[Lord Anubis]

"If your online reputation and the easy access to downloadable content appeal to you, the 360 version looks to edge out the PS3 version here, though with a $20 difference in price the PS2 edition looks to be an enjoyable value."

[Bordel_1900]

Stuntman sucks.
1UP sucks.
This articles headline sucks.

Framerate, graphics and gameplay are the same on PS3 and X360.

What are you f*kking morons arguing about?

[InMyOpinion]

Crying fanboy excuses!

[InMyOpinion]

More proof that the PS3 sukks donkey ballz and is sh*t to develop for. Why all the lame excuses? Face the music! It's been playing the same tune for a while now...

I know, I know - *Listens to an echo of "Just you wait!" coming in from a distance*

I've been waiting, nothing's happened in 9 months. It's about time you wake up.

[achira]

what lame excuses you moron ? where does it say in the article the xbox360 version is better ? only because of this themes ? is this a joke you moron ? god, such ppl like you should make suicide.

[n4gno]

blind man : HS,Unreal tournament, killzone2, ratchet and clank, uncharted, and even resitance, motorstorm, everybody's golf.

it's often already the same or better, next year, even better, and next year, even...

[InMyOpinion]

I'll take you seriously when you learn how to read and write.

achira - Lol! You are a joke.

" what lame excuses you moron ? where does it say in the article the xbox360 version is better ? only because of this themes ? is this a joke you moron ? god, such ppl like you should make suicide."

1. Are you asking me if I'm a moron, since you ended with a questionmark? My answer to that would be sometimes.
2. It says everywhere that multiplatform games look better on the 360, it's a fact.
3. Themes? Oh, you mean theme packs? Like the ones you can get on Xbox Live?
4. It's not a joke, use some ClearEyes and play Bioshock. The joke is on you.
5. I don't know how to "make suicide". Did you by any chance mean commit suicide?

It takes more than a retarded, illiterate fanboy for me to commit suicide lol!

n4gno - You are doing just what I said, telling me to wait, and wait, and wait, and zzzZZZzzz...

[JokesOnYou]

"For one, the PS3 version's release date has been pushed back behind its PS2 and 360 counterparts, possibly for additional optimization, so PS3 owners will have to wait a bit longer to play."

hey buddy where have you been thats typical of the delaystation, it will be news when sony kids finally get a game on time.

[sak500]

Well said. LIke dog bites man is not news but man bites a dog becomes a headline.

Anway look at those fans of prayforgames station crying over previews and reviews of games where 360 has an edge (99% of the time), they should be thankful that they are getting games now which are closer to 360s date rather than waiting a year.

[thereapersson]

The article says, AND I QUOTE:

"Both the 360 and PS3 versions of the game look extremely similar graphically, and thankfully also in terms of framerate. This is essential for a game based on split-second decisions and precise controls, and fortunately both versions maintain a steady clip despite the stunt effects on-screen."

PS3 fanboys need to quit giving us unbiased gamers who have a PS3 a bad name, and hypocritical Xbox fanboys need to quit grasping at every little chance they can get to bash a system they don't own. And don't give me that "BUT I OWN ALL 3 SYSTEMS SO THAR!!!" bullsh1t, because if you invested the resources into owning them, you would find gaming outlets on all of them instead of bashing the very investment you acquired.

Thanks to MK_Red for this fanboy-magnet (the title of this article sucks, no offense to the poster himself)!

The PS3 is a different development environment than the DX-based 360, so it's going to take developers a little longer than 9 months in the initial stage of a console to get used to the hardware, especially when they have been putting out titles based around 360 code for the past 2 years. Unfortunately it does mean delayed games at this point in time, but anyone except maybe the dumbest 360 fanboy can see that things can only get better as the months progress.

Watch me get disagrees because some phantom Microsoft fanboy won't have the balls to say why I will deserve one.

[sjappie]

I just wish that, until that happens, Sony fanboys stop acting like the ps3 is so much superior, and give the 360 some credit, It's been leading this generation with some great stuff up till now.
Seriously, the only reason I sometimes bash the ps3, is to try to get through to some of these Sony fanboys, because some of em have lost all touch with reality it seems.

And then they publicly wonder why people like TheMart, Power of Green and me still have 5 bubbles, and some sony fanboys have only one, wich means they must be taking our bubbles en masse, but sane people give bubbles back, because we use arguments and hardly any offensive remarks, to get our opinion across, unlike other people;

HAHAHAH LOLZORZ RRROD HAHAHAH F@CK U DIRTY XBOTS HAHAHJAH!!!!!!.

But, still we are critical, and that is enough reason for them to try and shut us up. You losers know who you are.

[Blitzed]

gotta agree with you, there is nothing worse that the mindless logic of a fanboy (of any console). Both consoles have their adavantages and their drawbacks, its up to the consumer to decide which to invest their money in. Why someone cares so much what console I want to spend MY money on, I will never understand. Y'know, I owned a Dreamcast too, but thats no reason to be so paranoid about sales that they will zoom in on a blade of grass! Both SONY and MS can afford to lose a lot more money than SEGA could and neither are going anywhere anytime soon.

[thereapersson]

I agree, the 360 has some great software that I am looking forward to playing, and I think all this console power debate is redundant and pointless. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but both will offer gamers great experiences in the years to come. Unfortunately, the fanboy situation is so bad, gamers now are only looking at the small, short picture.

Once I get a new HDTV (my top priority right now), i'm gonna pick up a 360 because it dropped 50 bucks and by then Mass Effect will be out and that game is one of the top titles I am looking forward to this holiday season.

And yeah, I also agree with you on the bubbles thing. While some of the stuff that the famous "Xbots" say around here can be a little far off in fantasy land, at least we don't see a bunch of caps lock abuse and mock-swearing from most users. It really does take a handful of individuals to ruin the whole image for people.

[xfrgtr]

"Both the 360 and PS3 versions of the game look extremely similar graphically, and thankfully also in terms of framerate. This is essential for a game based on split-second decisions and precise controls, and fortunately both versions maintain a steady clip despite the stunt effects on-screen."POOR desperates xbots

[shodown19]

I wonder how is everybody on this site. I bet you the biggest fanboys for their console (ps3 and 360) are no more than 12-13 years old at the most. Most gamers who work and can save up the money could buy both consoles and enjoy next-gen gaming in all aspects!

[shodown19]

[codeazrael]

LOL, I'm kinda equating the whole xbox vs. ps3 debacle to the scene in Star Wars episode III when darth sidious and mace windu are fighting and sidous is shocking the sh*t out of mace yelling............"POWER .....UN, LIMITED...............POOOWER! !! Ok, it may be the shrooms I had in my Lucky Charms this morning that made me think of this comparison but............oh well.
