GRAW 2 Screen Comparison : PS3 vs Xbox360

N4G member Cartesian3D made this picture for screen comparison between the PS3 and X360 versions of GRAW 2...

Images on the left side are from the PS3 version, images on the right side are from the X360. Source images are courtesy of IGN.com.

[Cartesian3D]

...
EDIT : Thx TNS for your help ( for EDITing the text ) :)

and to guys said its not a good comparison :

I HAVE NOT GRAW 2 PS3 version in my HANDS RIGHT NOW , so dont say BS "they are not in same location,Lighting,blahblah... "
there is no lighting in many of 360 screens..

I DID show u that LIGHTING sux in 360 version ... and GRAW 2 devs Fix that problem, they polished it and make it so much better in my eyes..

anyway I said many times that I DONT WANT TO SAY PS3 is MORE POWERFULL , look at Virtua Fighter, oblivion and now GRAW 2 .. its about BRAIN . EA hasnt one. thats all

[TnS]

But where are the pictures?
Edit: Ok, you attached it.

[eXplotion]

looks better

[eLiNeS]

These are the worst pictures I have ever seen to compare with. There not even taken at the same time of day or same exact spot of the game. They don't even look like there from the same source. If you're going to compare something, you have to compare from the same setup not from 6 or 8 different setups. Next!!!

[Omegasyde]

no offense but the only thing to really go off that is the same......... is comparing the grass. Big whup. Flame bait article number ___40002193

[MrSwede]

Bad pics to do a comparison with. I mean you can´t even get a good close look at the grass....(remember Dirt comparison?)

[WilliamRLBaker]

yeah... Im confused by you whole statement....Let alone the fact that all the images used are IGN images you did no comprison images...this is not your creation.....

And from your first post its like your saying, I have the 360 version and ps3 version and I did these direct captures my self...

this is ign, and you did a sucky image comparison.

[spasticjustice]

Are you even speaking english? I can't understand a single word that you write, your english skills are just about as bad as your comparison photo's.

[darx]

Still doesn't justify me spending an extra $200.00.

[DG]

Bad comparison...but if you do go by the pics PS3 looks better, as it should since it had more dev time. Compare games that came out the same time like Stranglehold or The Darkness, Madden etc. (actually dont use any EA games). Flamebait, moving on.

[dantesparda]

Just listen to you 360 fanboys, you people are pathetic! "One of the worst comparisons ever!?" are you people fvcking kidding me? this is one of the best user created comparisons i have ever seen on this site, and especially when you consider the fact that he did it by using pictures from IGN's site. Good job Cartesian, dont listen to these little mad fanboys. That's why they are all talking sh!t about this. Cuz they are man cuz they cant stand the fact that the PS3 version does look better on these pics. They are nothing more than rabid fanboys, that cant take it. If anybody can show me some better "user created" comparison pictures on this site, then you can prove me wrong. Otherwise, shut the fvck up and stop your little b!tch fanboy whining.

"Fanboys" are pathetic!

[Blabbermouth]

I've played the 360 version. And I've played the PS3 demo, I can say hands down that the PS3 version looks better. The shadow effects are a lot better, and it makes a big difference.

I know theres a difference in the pictures but thats actually what the 360 version and PS3 one looks like. 360 ones you notice the lack of shadows in the plants. And when you walk up to vehicles, your shadow dosn't cast on them like they should etc. But shadows in general are better in ever object in the PS3 one, ranging from people, landscape etc. And I'm not sure if there's more jaggies in the 360, but you notice it quite a bit the in the 360 version. Although I think that has to do with the better shadows on the PS3 version, and because of that the jaggies are not so noticeable. Over all 360 one looks more washed out than PS3 version.

Oh yeah, and if you turn on the Full RGB setting on the PS3 it makes a little difference too the looks in GRAW2 also. The RGB settings are Supported on most Hi-Def TV's, most TV have it set low. Makes a huge difference in most games, Resistance exceptionally. And you need HDMI. Go to your PS3/settings/display settings/RGB full(HDMI) and set to full.

[Cartesian3D]

lol .. I had a big mistake.. didnt upload in ADD MORE IMAGE ...fogive me guys..

[gta_cb]

just wanted to know why you have put the channels in the PC and PSP section? ..... oh and also the comparison you have done is one of the worste i have seen.

[A Man]

The ps3 version does look better. I'm suprised.
Nuff said

[Fisher339]

Yup Bout time Ubisoft started doing a good job.

looks good, may pick it up

[Cartesian3D]

thx for your reports.. I fixed those problems..

now Approve it if u want .. or use that picture and make your own News with non problems.. I dont want any point in this site.. lol

just show that GRAW 2 devs did a good job on PS3 version

and They improved LIGHTING( I didnt see any lighting in many 360 screens, I saw it just in some outdoor screens from Jungle )

and they improved Trees,grass.. and so on.. GRAW2 Ps3 version is alil bit better than 360 with more content :)

[THC CELL]

wow a this is one of the best ubisoft ports i have ever seen.

Ps3 wins.

yes they had more time

Makes me think now
will dev like this recon team will start making ps3 games ground up and porting them to ps3.

[DrWan]

PS3 does have more real lightning, the last pic reminds me of the new lighting effect they use for Killzone 2.

Xbox version isn't bad, i am sure fans of both console can enjoy this equally, wont' notice the graphics once bullets start to fly

[renegade]

yeah both look great but ps3 looks better... i think they improve this because the demo looks horrible

[Bloodmask]

They use the exact same assets(geometry,polygons, textures). It is a port. The only differences will be framerate, lighting, colors(BC of GPU differences), AA....etc.

[xfrgtr]

No,it's absolutely not a port.

[Cartesian3D]

the design part was same as 360 and they didnt change anythin except add some features to 360 version ( some new exclusive New MP maps and sixaxis and blah blah ... )

and the difference is in Lighting and AA and framerates....etc..

all of them are changed becuz PS3 team can make it in their way..may be completly different compare to 360

in my opinion they make it so much better in term of lighting.. I know that 360 proved itself with Gears of war..I DONT WANT TO SAY PS3 is BETTER guys..

with this post I want to say EA is just a CRAP dev with no brain and no expert engineer .. they just want to make games with LOWEST possible money and make for 1234454 platform at the same time..

[Ju]

Said above. Graw2 PS3 was written by Ubi's Shanghai studio, the 360 version in the US. Different teams, not a port. PS3 version was re-written from scratch. (But, sure, same art department, AFAIK)

[Cartesian3D]

u said they arent in same Lighting situation.. I didnt see any Lighting in 360 version except Jungle screens in daylight..

and there is no PS3 version screen on that location and time..

those screens are the best choices for comparison .. in my opinion..

thx for your report..

[Ignorant Fanboy]

2 screens look better on the 360, and 2 screens look better on the PS3, doesnt really show much, show the in-game cutscenes for the best comparison.

I played it a while back on 360, so I wont be getting this again. It was fun, but nothing new really, except a drone view.

[TeaDouble_E]

The voice acting in graw are so cheesy, it ruins the believability.

[Maddens Raiders]

I wish they'd talk to EA and see what they can teach them about that old rumored, magical secret called "working". 8|

-good job Cartesian

[Daishi]

Out of nowhere I see your post and start dieing laughing. Good thing to because Ubisoft is EA's #1 competitor, and my favorite thing out of France! I loved this game on 360 but the grass looks 100x better on the PS3. The best part is the 16 player co-op, I don't no why more games try something like that.

[skinzfan]

I feel you on that MaddenRaiders. EA has made me very dissapointed.

[socomnick]

so you are willing to get madden 5 months after the xbox 360 version and have it be completely identical to the xbox 360 version 5 months later.

[Maddens Raiders]

I am not. I don't know why it would take 5 extra months anyway, if what I outlined above was applied to this situation. And really socom, what about the 360 version besides the 60 frames per second is so compelling about this game? What?

The 60fps should be an afterthought and other features in the game should rise far far above it. 4 players in usnison doing the same thing at once on the sidelines is not cool. 8 black guys earing white Polo's and kakhi's on the sideline should not be doing the same things all at once, and taking the same stances over and over and over again. Where is the endzone contingent of busy cameramen, stadium and NFL personnel? Something as simple as a full compliment of refs on field (that's in the game)? Let's just leave the crowd out of the comment for now - pathetic.

Are all things about this year's Madden bad socom? No, but even you can admit that there is a little left to be desired for a game that's been around since 1989, now -- on next-gen technology -- not to mention N.A.'s biggest sports game by a longshot. This sports game should actually seperate itself from all others (as Madden did back in the PS2 day and even XBox 1 days) on this generation of consoles letting us know for sure that we're playing something special. Do you feel that way?

Would 5 months be annoying enough for me while waiting? Yes, of course, but if it meant that we were playing a superb rendition of photorealistic football with the full gambit of nuances (at least an attempt) in the game and a HUGE REDUCTION IN UNACCEPTABLE GLITCHES -- then hell yes I would wait 5 months and know that, that template was in place for the years going forward. You would hear a resounding YESSS!!! from the masses and EA would be heralded as one of the best of all time. Period. But money rules the day unfortunately and that will never happen. Vacations will be taken, status quo accepted, and the line of programmed drones will fork out their hard earned cash each year for more EA vomit and THEIR vision of NFL football.

~Not Me~

Ok, now I'm in a dream state.....dreaming what a Polyphony Digital rendition of NFL football would look like with the NFL license. Don't wake me up........don't do it........ W O W it looks amazing...just W O W

[Jrome]

OMFG the 4th pixel from the top in the first picture IS OFF BY 0.2 mm OMFG!!!!!...sd;lfjsl;fksl;f

sigh..stop with comparison plz...

[Ps3Fanboy777]

I agree, I dont see how people can make an accurate comparison when those screenshots are so not even in the same area for most.

Game was cool had some of the best explosions ive seen thus far.

[SoulKillah]

Oblivion came out a great port...so GRAW2 is gonna a great port also!

[Dr Pepper]

Perhaps I misunderstood your comment, but Ubisoft didn't have anything to do with Oblivion...

[toughNAME]

lmao it better look better on the PS3!

[San anto]

And it does XD

[Foliage]

It is expected that the better hardware would produce a better looking game, so yes it does look better on the PS3.

[Lakuspakus]

Good thing!
Developers are starting to understand the PS3, great work!

Even though the comparison pics aren't from the same setting, i'd have to agree that the PS3 version looks a little bit better.

Hope this is a sign of things to come. And I am not saing that in a "Xbox 360 sucks way", I am saying that in a "good for all gamers" way.

[skinzfan]

PS3 wins this one. RB6V went to the 360. I am glad that they took their time on this game. I am not sure if I am going to purchase it though, I will be spending to much time with Warhawk and I still need to beat Ninja Gaiden and kill some people on Resistance and Rainbow 6. :)

[achira]

no chance r6 vegas looks better on ps3. did you even see it on the ps3 ?
edit: skinfan then you never played the xbox360 version. alone the better lightning on the ps3 makes the game far better on the ps3, this bloom on the xbox360 version is far too strong.

[skinzfan]

Hi Achira,

I play the PS3 Version all the time :)

[San anto]

ps3 hands down, then again the situations in the comparisons are different so can ny1 really say which is better

[NRG]

Graphics and image quality comparisons between consoles/settings are useless unless you can get screenshots in, at the least, relative locations. That's why it's called comparisons. The lighting and environment is different in every shot.

[Lakuspakus]

True

[BBsin]

I'd like to say... the PS3 version (from those screenshots) look better...but there's no losers in this topic. 360 owners played the heck out of this game already and the PS3 owners get motion controls with better lighting, everyone is happy. Good job to UBISOFT.

EDIT: i always thought EA and UBISOFT took way too much heat for "bad" ports to the PS3, they've had 3(+) years to work with the Xbox360 and around 1 year with the PS3, give them some time before you call them lazy. The recent games shows that the developers are starting to understand how to optimize the PS3 more and more. It ain't easy folks.

BTW: Wait for the final version of the PS3 GRAW2 before we start real comparisons. remember R6 vegas looked really similair BEFORE the squad got into las vegas.

[Yosking]

Hopefully Ubisoft is setting an example for other companies who make multiplatform games(especially EA). Ps3 graw2 looks so vivid. i've played the 360 version at my friends crib but I want to get this game for my ps3 so I can see the improvement and i alays been a graw fan ever since the first one.
rock on ps3

[SpenserTracy]

This game looks awesome. I envy 360 fans who got to play it first. But now its finally our turn:-)

[7ero H3LL]

all of the environments are not even the same. some of these screen shots could be different days at different times in different environments with different people.

just look at them.

[7ero H3LL]

I game in 1080p all ways with this same game and i could give you my screen shots and they will say different.

[MrSwede]

Well go ahead then, do your own comparison and post it. I´m sure the guy who did this comparison did the best he could.

[Rageanitus]

Then ps3 has

oblivion, darkness, dirt, graw 2, possibly rage engine games look better.

Not doing too shabby for new tech that has been out for under a year now.

[Lakuspakus]

Oblivion: OK
The Darkness: With all those jaggies in the PS3 edition, i Would say 360 looks better.
DiRT: Each person has their own opinion about this game. But the fact that some scenry isnt there in the PS3 version i would say 360 here as well.
GR:AW 2: Maybe, if we could get an comparison with screenshots that is from the same place, we could find out.
possibly rage engine games look better: Wait and see.

[Hugh Hefner]

There is no way this can be called a comparison, not even remotely. Whoever did this had the clear intention of making the PS3 look better. Anyone can do a comparison like this and make each system look better. The only way you could tell would be to have the same levels/positions, etc... to compare.

This thread FAILS in all levels.

[eLiNeS]

I got one Disagree and no Agree for saying the same thing in a different way.

[achira]

why didnt you say that in threads where the xbxo360 screens were better ? its ok when the xbox360 screens are better, but when the ps3 screenshots are better, the comparison sucks ?

[BLACKJACK VII]

Exactly. Very poor "comparison"

[Pain70]

Just plain bait!! Like your 360, like your PS3, like your Pee-WII. i don't care. just stop with stuff like this!

[ThaGeNeCySt]

Good job ubisoft

[Hugh Hefner]

Although I agree with your points, those screenshots can't be called a comparison anyways. Sorry but that is the plain truth, regardless of any other details.

[WafflesID]

Yeah, There are someshots on the 360 version that look similiar to some of the shots on the PS3 version. Overall it looks like they made some changes, but ... then I see some on the 360 version that don't look flat, so maybe the sun was on a different side.

Really...it is a complete waste of time doing these stupid comparisons if you can't get screen shots from the same position.

[WafflesID]

blah. And then you see this 360 screen shot...

I think this is a crap comparison.

[boodybandit]

Is that your display waffle or did you find the pic on the net?
If it's yours what type of display are you using?

[Figboy]

on my PS3, and i thought it was cool, but i think i'm going to have to go with Bioshock on my PC for my game purchase next week. then the week after that is Warhawk, and the week after that is Lair, and the week after that is Heavenly Sword, and the week after that is Stranglehold...

*sigh*

[7ero H3LL]

check this out 1080p

[Bazookajoe_83]

Except that it´s not 1080p but 1080i.

[warfed]

nice wallet buddy...

[7ero H3LL]

look b#th F@CK y@LL

[Bazookajoe_83]

Is it photoshoped or is it an image that´s afterward´s been upscaled?

[WafflesID]

are YOU on crack? Of course the 360 does 1080p. It has for a long time now.

I get 1080p through HDMI, component and vga cables just fine.

Do some research first before you accuse people of photoshopping.

[7ero H3LL]

this is all happening right now at 1080p look at the environment

got 360? my f#king camera don't save any thing higher than 640X480.

[Ju]

http://media.ps3.ign.com/me...

Full 1080p screen shots.

[Takumi86]

wow ubisoft nailed it

1st game for PS3 versus 2nd game for 360
wow it looks like dev are learning how to develop game for PS3

[timmyp53]

one of the few devs putting out good ports.

[sleepbox]

That's a crappy comparison there. Great game though.

[gnothe1]

well all I can say is that I downloaded the demo for the PS3 an I have the game for the 360, an for me the 360 version looks better, but going by these screenshots the PS3 version looks better!! so which do I believe, my own eyes on MY tv or some pics that were posted by someone else!!

[macsto]

Yep, you are spot on. These comparison pics are stupid.

[thereapersson]

I will never understand this phenomenon. As far as I know, this comparison is between two completed versions of the game, unless I read the first post wrong.

I mean, HEAVEN FORBID a game that receives more development time and isn't a port would look better than its counterpart...

[AbyssGravelord]

WOW this isn't even a port they were announced at the same time but they obviiously had prob. with the PS3 version so they released the 360 version as a timed exclusive. once again of course the PS3 version is gonna look better if they've had an extra HALF a YEAR of developement time jesus...you sony girls...

[thereapersson]

Damage control by 360 fanboys at its finest

[ElementX]

I'd still prefer to play the game 8 months sooner...

[Gizmo_Logix]

And PS3 fans prefer to play it on the PS3 and NOT buy a 360! PWNED!

[gnothe1]

damage control!! why do we need that, most of us in here have already beat this game, so it wouldnt matter if you guys got it now or not.I have already had my fun with this an done traded it in already.it just like your orally pleasing a girl after I already had it. leaves a bad taste in your mouth doesnt it!!

[Kyur4ThePain]

"most of us in here have already beat this game, so it wouldnt(sic) matter if you guys got it now or not.I have already had my fun with this an done traded it in already"

Then why exactly did you drop in? Just to tell us that you don't mind that the PS3 version looks better as you had a date with the ugly sister already? Ok.

[The Karate Kid]

The fact of the matter is this....unless a company is porting the game down to the 360 it wont matter because the differences are unnoticeable. When a game is made on the PS3 using CELL and RSX and BLU-RAY and then ported down to 360, thats when we can see the difference. I would say 360 gets the win on all the games because of the features the system has

-Custom Soundtracks
-Voice Chat Chat Across All Games
-Gamer Points & Achievements & Game Comparison

These three features will make me want to 360 version every time. I am a SONY FANBOY and i own both systems but Sony has to do some firmware updates and add home very quickly-

Burnout 5
Next Gen Sega Rally

Two games that are confirmed to be ported down to 360. Then we can see the difference and smile

[Ggame]

The PS3 version look better.
:)

[paracardium]

yep Ps3 is clearly the better version with all the xtras also.

[DuceWilly947]

and by the way all the ports look the same on both systems like RB6V, i tuned the brightness up and the sharpness down and they look the same, PS3 rox all

[Wii60_FTW]

the screens are from different times of day and are of various qualities. nice try. I own it for 360 and can tell u it looks LEAGUES ^^^ better than any of these shots here. no matter. enjoy your port, fanzombies ;)

[Gizmo_Logix]

Ok, first of all. We're not Zombies! We're Cows! Or Proud Bovines! Or if you want to be general. PS3 fanboys. Get it right man!

And if anyone calls me a PS3 fanboy. My reply...Yeah, and?

[beavis4play]

i don't like the tom clancy games. but, i did play this on my buds 360 when it came out. both of us think it looks lots better on the ps3. i still don't want to play it but ps3 version looks to be superior.

[strongbad1441]

it's good they decided not to make a stupid port, but rather build the game up for the ps3's hardware

[kcdude]

I can't really see a difference. They both kind of look bad for this generation of gaming.

[pilotpistolpete]

at pixel # 164, 756, notice the ps3 version looks alot more aqua that green. This surely shows the superiority of the ps3 and no doubt will put any xbot to shame.

yeah, i tried the very ballooned up pic joke, but some ppl actually thought i was serious.

[SuperSaiyan4]

Finally a port that does look better.

[Booneral]

I am not saying either PS3 or 360 version is better but this is definately the WORST screenshot comparison I've ever seen. Locations do not match, soldier uniforms do not match, lightning to not match and even the quality and gamma of these screens do not match. I mean it's like a mixed bag of good and bad screens from GRAW2, and doesn't even qualify as a PS3 - 360 comparison.

The game I've played looked BOTH better than 360 screenshots and PS3 screenshots. Bad quality, bad comparison, doesn't even reflect the quality of the game on both systems.

[Wii60_FTW]

this comparison am fail

[beavis4play]

i thought the 360 version looked better than these 360 screens show but not as good as the ps3 screens

[macsto]

Next time, use images that are compareable.

Xbox 360 images taken from ign

the 2 game are indentical but the 360 have better texture! ja

360 the best check www.ign.com and GRAW 2 360 / PS 3

[beavis4play]

do a better job rigging you "comparison". that's a joke.

[deadeyes99]

the screenshots arent even close to being in the same areas let alone the same lighting lmfao WOW!!!

[tudors]

I heard the frame rate was worse on the PS3 but the pics do seem to have more detail on the PS3, not much differnce but it is there.

[beavis4play]

is the comment-"i heard the framerate stutters on the ps3 version"- xgirls response to their systems hardware failure rate. because all of a sudden every xgirl starts off with this statement, but non-x360 owners haven't heard it. you don't hear cnn,msnbc,fox news doing stories on the ps3 framerate but you hear plenty about 360 failure and disc scratching issues and the class-action lawsuits that have been started as a result.

[tudors]

I added pics but this site will not load them, happens a lot.

[achira]

good to see that the ps3 version is better. will try out the game.

[achira]

good to see that the ps3 version is better. will try out the game.

[Salvadore]

You are the sort of Fanboy that only gets satisfied when a PS3 games looks better than a 360 game.

[mirroredderorrim]

PS3 version has lighting and details such as bump mapping down. Xbox 360 has sharp images, anti-alisasing.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

This is a little shady if Xbox fans did this we would never live it down but since it was a Droid who did it well can't expect anything less from them. I think you need to check your screens Cartesian3D you have a mixture of beta, demo and release. I give you an A for effort but an F for quality and for that bit of sinister "droid" work you did.

[monkey602]

I hate comparisons its just a vicious circle. If 360 looks better they brag and the PS3 fans say who cares about better looking grass anyway and the 360 boys say well at least it's there (DiRT anyone?) and now I see the very same thing happening in reverse. Anyway I dont know if Ubisoft deserve all the praise people are giving them saying "best developer" etc. to me it's just about time remember they did give us double agent that was horribe and rainbow 6 (i love the game but you have to admit that the online play is extremely flawed) in my eyes they seem to have gotten it right for once. but it gives hope to games like assassins creed I suppose

[mentalboy11]

Assassin's Creed isnt a port. its lead system is probably the PS3 still, either that or its a double team where one team works on ps3 the other 360 because assassin's creed was originally supposed to be sony exclusive but became multiplatform. so the ps3 was the first console to be used for a majority of game development until it became MP, unlike other games where they were originally on 360 then ported/double teamed onto the ps3, this was the opposite.

this is all assumption though, but this is my guess.

[young7yang]

xbox 360 version still looks good on my 1080i sony 42inch hdtv

and i have hade it for over a 4 months now not to mention the the ps3 owners wont get the whole story in campain mode because the second game is a direct continuation of the first game............

and with all the delays it better show improvment

[eagle21]

PS3 screens look better.....But of course longer development time should equal better screens fellas. No knock to 360 owners. This is what PS3 owners want from 360 ports and 360 owners want better looking ports from PS3(when possible). Lazy developers can take a hike this generation, cause we all dropped serious CASH and we want our games to kick serious ASS. (don't mean to offend anyone, excuse the curse).lol

[Imalwaysright]

Ps3 wins

[Newmanator]

If they just turn up the brightness!

[Xbox is the BEST]

I have the game on 360 in HD 1080p Sharp and it doesnt look like that maybe its a Xbox1 pic or the 360 version was on a SD tv.

[N4GayFanturds]

He just found random pics and slapped them together and got his F@gboy friends to approve this crap.

Bottom line is:

*360 plays ALL Ghost Recon games.
*Where's GRAW 1 for PhorSecond-hand 3rd party titles (PS3).
*This game is a team-based multiplayer and will suck on the PSNot-everyone-has-a-mic.

If I blew over $600 on a game system that has more BR movie titles than games, I'd be pretty pissed too. Nut.

[PS360PCROCKS]

WTF? Either those are beta pics or the 360 version looks like total sh!t compared to the ps3 version!

[Pika-pie]

Nice - PS3 actually looks noticably better.

I see alot of Xbox fans crying over this article. Its very sad that they can give it but not take it.

While xbots get on their pedestal over a few extra blades of grass on DIRT the PS3 version of GRAW2 looks ALOT better.

Gotta laugh. Nice dev work.

[DJ]

since the PS3 dev team had less experience with the hardware than the 360 team did with theirs. I downloaded the Demo the other day, and it really does look that good. =]

[Ju]

Its interesting to see how the xbots try to defend this. Can't be, eh ? The PS3 can render better than 360. How did that happen ? Hey, these shots show clearly a difference, it was never as clear as this one (e.g. look at the explosions and the lightning plus the level of details in the surrounding environments and then compare that to the 360 version). If you don't like the pics here, walk thru the IGN gallery for both. Seriously, come on, admit it. What's so bad about it. I am pretty sure the 360 version plays as great as the PS3 version will (will maybe rumble a bit more but won't allow you to role). So ? But, visually, the PS3 owns it.
But after all this "ha ha, 360 has the better graphics, your PS3 suck" its finally payback. (call me fanboy, but it feels good!).

I have the game and it does not look like what that pic is showing it was probably the Xbox1 version from last year and I have a Sharp Aquos 1080p 52". Did u take a good look at Killzone2 and MGS4??? Low Res Low Texture just look at the walls in a upclose shot for both games. I just call it like it is, Sony is lying to you and u believe every word Sony says thats good for you.

This really sounds hilarious. You should probably send an email to IGN and ask them to remove the (according to you) Graw shots from the Graw2 section. This might let "ps3 fanboys" laugh to much. But thank you admitting that there's a difference in the shots.
And, well, keep embarrassing yourself with your KZ2 and MGS4 comments...

[Xbox is the BEST]

I am embarrassing myself with those comments??? It's the truth and you dont own a HDTV. I just look at GRAW2 on my 360 and it looks like the PS3 version that's posted on this website. Anyone thats not a fanboy will tell you but you believe Sony thats good for you. Next Year you will be saying the same thing "Wait till next Year"

Fake!!!

Getting tired of the in game screen shot comparisons...

[heroman711]

wow, there is a difference we never expected

[kngri]

This comparison is lame the person who post this did a bad job selecting the screens, he is comparing different maps with difference light conditions and apparently took the worst screens for xbox 360. I want everybody to go to ign and watch the screens from both game, only then you will realize that this games are nearly identical in terms of graphics.

[DuceWilly947]

and ps3 has better tech so im not surprised ps3 looks better and will play better

[DaEnforcer]

GOT PWNED HAHA

[FourtyPoundSteak]

I dont understand how people compare games between each other when they come out almost a year later... OF COURSE THEY WILL LOOK BETTER! if they dont than something is wrong with the developer.

[BoneMagnus]

The graphics are almost always pretty comparable. The important differences are when there is framerate differences or extra/deleated content.

Graphical differences that are barely visible - and only if you are looking for them do not affect gameplay enjoyment.

[supnub5]

will start releasing multiplat at the same time, they are very similiar with ps3 hardware now, i think starting from ac, we will see same, or sometimes even better ps3 ports, and on same time.

[Robotz Rule]

In your face Xbots!

PS3 versions looks waaaaay better!:)

It's funny how the Xbots just go on hitting the disagree button when someone says something positive about the PS3 and they can't accept the fact that GRAW 2 on the PS3 will be way better!

The funny part is that they don't even bother commenting cos they know they'll get pwnd!:D

[Komrad]

i think i'll have to compare it myself at home infront of me and then i'll know, but since i can't be bothered and i don't care about graw 2 that much i'll move on and play other games.

And really in the midst of bioshock releasing this week why should any xbox360 owner care, i don't i'll just be playing bioshock ya know?? and really with warhawk coming out just before heavenly sword or lair, thats what my ps3 will be having in the coming weeks. otherwise let ps3 owners play graw2 and see for themselves if the game is good with or without graphical tweaks, and how it stacks up against other ps3 games. Shiet,While we're at it, why don't we see if oranges are better than apples or even pears! gasp!!.

[Raptors]

Well I'd hope with an extra 8 months of development that they'd be able to make it look better on the ps3. On a side note, what horrible comparison pics. I mean at least compare day pictures with day pictures...

[Shaka2K6]

We already knew GRAW 2 was another multi platforms tittle best on PS3.
looks like soon xbois will have to stop hiding behind bad lazy ports beacuase with time multi games are all being best on PS3 beacuase obviously its the better console.

[jinn]

the xbox 360 is much better.
