Lens of Truth writes "This week we put Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in a dogfight to see which version comes out the “Top Dog”.

First off the shaky cam sucked, but the Xbox 360 should I won IMO.

jack_burt0n4994d ago

another multiplat sucking on xbox, vanquish sucks on xbox, split second, lost planet 2, darksiders, dantes inferno loads of em.

Parapraxis4994d ago

c'mon now jack_burt0n, you're going to crush that myth that 360-only owners have that EVERY multiplat games is better on 360.

Montrealien4994d ago

It was not a myth, it was fact. And now that devs understand both consoles alot better it is also old news.

Bottom line multiplat games on both consoles have very little differences.

Kran4994d ago

APPARENTLY and I dont know as I never tested this out, you could have turned off the Shaky cam. I don't know. But anyway, the Shaky cam wasn't a problem for me. It made the game a tad more real.

Sea_Man4994d ago

No way! PS3 had way better lighting. The SSAO on the Xbox looked like crap and should have counted against them. Besides, the Xbox was missing textures.... FAIL!!

Lord_Doggington4994d ago

the screen tearing is why all of the other staff people chose the 360 version.

RudeSole Devil4994d ago

Your just being a fan boy, screen tearing out weighs graphics any day of the week.

jack_burt0n4994d ago

tell that to resident evil 5 and all the other crap digital foundry spews. so many games on 360 tear all the time.

Sea_Man4994d ago

No way!! I agree screen tearing is a problem but missing textures!!! Obviously it gonna run better it's missing textures and lighting effects!! like I said 360 FAIL!!

ArthurLee4994d ago

Both versions look pretty bad! I don't know just what exactly edios was thinking using this "shakey cam" graphical style. If I had to get one, I'd pick up the 360 version, I'm running out of space on my PS3 HD.

RudeSole Devil4994d ago

A little less texture here and there will never out weigh screen tearing, just admit you only own a PS3.

baker_boi4994d ago

Screen tearing outweighs MISSING TEXTURES?

@DigitalAnalog

hahahahaha I guess they are the end all be all.... But didn't they forget to mention the missing lighting effects and missing texture the Xbox had??? I guess they over looked them??? or wait... could it be Eurofanboy instead!!

DigitalAnalog4994d ago (Edited 4994d ago )

@RSD:

Eurogamer and LOT tend to have the same conclusions on multi-plats, hence the statement. (You shouldn't just take the comment without thinking...)

@f3:

Read my response to RSD.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow3d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1822d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie2d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere1d 16h ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow1d 2h ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney20h ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno2d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno2d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii1d 21h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno1d 19h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
