Wowzers

[macsto]

This looks terrible...

whats wrong with the textures?!

[IdontTakeSides]

whats wrong with ur eyes..?? looks good to me..and it's a photo of the game in motion...kk...it's not gonna capture how the game really looks when ur actually playing it..!!

[shmee]

you clearly heard from GAMEDAILY that ps3 version of COD4 is better in all respects that the x360 version

and yet u argue

[AllanWakker]

http://www.dailygame.net/ne...

"Infinity Ward personally assured us that development occurred simultaneously on all three platforms, and that there wasn't a base system. With that said, the console similarities end when it comes to textures, lighting and resolutions, because those three areas make the PlayStation 3 version definitely excel over the Xbox 360 SKU. "

Watch the Xbots make fools of themselves once again...

[Bladestar]

@AllanWakker - no need to try to prounce the PS3 version as the best version of them all...and the xbox 360 as a piece of crap... only a few days more.. and the internet will explote with video/pictures comparing the PS3 and the xbox 360 version... pray this game is in on every way... better than the xbox 360 version... no more "it's a port"... this game should be an obvious indication of the PS3 superiority over the xbox 360.. I mean by a mile....
reviews... mmmm... I can smell the fire... WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DeadIIIRed]

I love that smell

[SlappyMcTaint]

It's called a moire, you idiot. It comes from taking pics of tv's where the camera is at one resolution and tv is another -it has nothing to do with how the game looks -it's two devices with mixing dot patterns creating a third moire pattern.

Think before you open your mouth and bash something you know nothing about, Xbot!! Your fear of the PS3 finally catching up is showing with comments like that....

[Leg-End]

i was wondering the same thing with ya mam's foreskin last night.

[soccerluv]

Could someone please post links to all the websites beside gamedaily that wrote that the PS3 version is superior in all aspects?

[xplosneer]

tonight we dine in.....WHAT? A NUCLEAR BOMB? ****!

[Jinxstar]

I would say 2nd and 3rd for each popup. IMO Gears marked 2nd gen for 360 and Halo 3 3rd gen. I think HS was the last 1st Gen game for PS3... I dunno if there is an actual listing somewhere that breaks it down but thats a good "Best guess" by me.

I have no Idea for Infinity Ward. 1st for PS3 and... Wasn't COD3 Published by someother group? Activision maybe? I have no idea. Could be first Infin ward release for each console... However the consoles Gens are varied I am sure... Thats a very good question...

[Proxy]

We will eventually have the COD4 PS3 vs 360 comparison. Wow, that will be HOT!

[Ri0tSquad]

should be an interesting flamewar!

[Kaneda]

Da war will never end...

xbots will think 360 version is better...Sonyfanboys will disagree...

sonyfanboys will think PS3 version is better...xbots will disagree...

nintendogs think wiisports still fun to play...

Da war will never end...

[popup]

What gen game is this for infinity ward for each the PS3 and 360?

[Blitzed]

I am so pumped for this game! I'm so gald they went the way of modern warfare. I wasn't about to pay $60 to shoot another German.

[GIJeff]

i just had the vision of seeing a german standing in a booth at a fair or carnival.. "60 bucks! shoot a german! 60 bucks! Shoot a german! win a stuffed animal!"

awesome.

[oglowke]

lol...some ppl are really make me laugh out loud.....did that ^^^ guy really ask whats wrong with the textures? i dont understand the logic in comming to the ps3 forums to type bs?.....i dont even click the 360 or wii links......y?....because i simply dont own those systems so i can care less

[Foliage]

It's called an inferiority complex.

[jackdoe]

Can't wait. Only one more week.

[jwatt]

I haven't been following this game too much but if this really is the ps3 version thats scary, it looks too real.

[antoinetm]

oh dear 1080p :)

(tho some SS looks err....??)

[unlimited]

well they did their job right im goin to buy it!! pictures awesome

[zantetsuken]

None of those are direct-feed, they're taken from a digital camera. It's from the same avsforum user who's been contributing them. That's why you see the flash-effects and weird colors.

[pwnsause]

this was the game that made me say that Killzone 2 can look like CGI. Its amazing that Infinity ward was able to run this game at 60 frames per second on 1080p, hopefully there are no frame drops on the PS3 version. I have a question though, is this game actually running in true 1080p on the PS3, cause if it is, then wow, Infinity ward just basically told lazy devs like EA to STFU about the PS3 running on crappy hardware.

[crazy25000]

lol dont stop...keep going :)

[DJ]

so it's running on native 1080p on the PS3 version of COD4. Pretty sweet, huh?

[pwnsause]

Thanks for the replies, wow, thats amazing True 1080p at 60fps at that level of fidelity. cant wait to get my hands on this game

[Ares84]

You are wrong!! The PS3 can upscale! For example...GT5 will be upscaled to 1080p that game i not 1080p natively!....I think you can still find the article about it, just google it!

[BrownPowerzz]

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

[vaan]

I think the PS3 version may be more crisp, if in fact it does run at 1080p. Having said that, I think the 360 version will have better colours and better shadows due to ATI chip it has. (ps3 games do have blocky shadows when zoomed, I'm not sure why).

[solidt12]

Yeah man I zoom in on every game I play just to make sure every Pixel is just right. Sarcasm

[fusionboxer]

The reason Gears of War looked so good was because of a technique called texture streaming. Insomniac couldn't fit it into Resistance, so they had to pick and choose which textures looked best (the reason why rubble wouldn't look so great up close, while other textures looked amazing).

With ratchet and clank and uncharted they use this technique (texture streaming). Think of it like having a bubble around your character where everything looks super clean texture wise the closer you get to specific objects.

I just made an account here, and i'm not sure of Vans history, but I'd like to say he's totally wrong, but i can't blame him for taking observations from certain titles so far. Ratchet and clank features texture streaming and textures look just as good up close as they do from afar no matter what you stare at so yes, your wrong, but don't worry about it. Just check out ratchet and clank for proof that texture streaming is completely possible on the ps3.

[ApocalypseShadow]

but it's amazing this game changed after sony's E3 2005 presentation of killzone.notice it went from world war to modern day overnight with hectic battles when all the games were world war games?look at the simularities when both are in city environments(smoke,fire,hectic battles,etc):

killzone
http://youtube.com/watch?v=...
call of duty4
http://youtube.com/watch?v=...

of course the original killzone target video set this all up.

maybe they wanted to change direction with the game.who knows.but at least the fact that sony aims high has a ripple effect on other devs.because looking at call of duty 2 from launch on 360,then seeing this,they are night and day games.

but COD4 looks great either way.

mag lev................

[solidt12]

It looks great. These are the best pictures I have seen et f this game. I can't believe I.W. pulled this game off.

[whateva]

wow that look so real with the junk car .

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

Wow and there are still assholes trying to claim a victory.

Why can't we just game?

FACT: All those claiming ignorant console victories aren't gamers at all.

[CaliGamer]

But you act as if this console war is new. What do you expect on a site frequented by people who love their consoles and see games such as this as really showing the differences between the PS3 and 360.

[QuackPot]

It's taken a year but finally 3rd party developers are starting to master the black beast that we all know as the Ps3.

First a trickle then a flood....of amazing games.

I can't even begin to imagine how amazing God of War 3 will be....done by a 1st party developer with 2 years of experience behind them.

[wangdiddy82]

just made me want to but this game.. Im buying it now..

Its so crazy how ps3 games are already looking in its first year.. Amazing i tell u..

[CaliGamer]

If this game comes out and there is no difference or there is a PS3 advantage, what will that say about other developers who have b!tched about the PS3 being too hard to develop for.

By no means am I a developer, but if the rumors are true that the PS3 version of COD4 holds an advantage, should that not demonstrate that the PS3 is not the enigmatic piece of hardware that some try to make it out to be?

My logic is that a console has to be relevant much longer than a PC would be required to be. People buy consoles for the stability of the hardware knowing that even if you adopt at the beginning, you will still have the option of playing every game that is released on the system. It would be nice to have KZ2 quality visuals from the beginning, but what would that say about the longevity of the system? Not to mention its not to say that the PS3 was that far behind the competition visually, and even before its one year anniversary it managed to surpass on some accounts.

Innovation is risky, but it seems more and more that the developers who have bashed the PS3 make themselves look bad. When some make excuses for why their games falter on the PS3, games like this come out and stare them in the face. I guess its just easier to blame the hardware rather than look at your techniques and see where you might have room for improvement.

Hopefully the trend of developers getting down to the business of developing great IP's rather than making excuses why they could not execute is ending. I guess time will tell.

[athlon770]

It is no wonder why you have so many bubbles sir. That was a well thougt out and written post. So many times have we the owners of both systems tried to defend the PS3 from 360 only crowds saying the developers just are not trying hard enough or were taking the wrong line of attack to program for the PS3. It is nice to see the justification of our efforts to defend this small piece of plastic from the nay-sayers. I do hope this is a good sign of things to come, but I am also saddend by it. Owning both systems, just this season I would look for 3 games on the 360, and 4 on the PS3, not to mention the BD movies I want to purchase!

[Big Jim]

I really don't think the PS3 and 360 versions will look much different. Why would the PS3 version look far better? The graphics cards for the two systems are about the same, if anything the 360's graphics card is a little better. What can the PS3 do except add a few more particle effects? I think they'll look nearly identical except the PS3 version will have a few more jaggies.

[SofaKingReetodded]

how many times have we told ALLL OF YOU, that you can't compare graphics cards between the two consoles because the Cell+RSX combo works in tandem as a GIANT unified rendering system. That makes the "xenos" look like an etch a sketch.

[kaomakk]

COD4 uses texture streaming, which the cell is far better suited to over the 360 as it can devote more resources to the process. I think this is one of the main reasons the PS3 will slowly look better than the 360 over time. That said the differences may not be overly huge.

[achira]

ppl have no idea. they ask why the ps3 is not 3 times powerfull as the 360. but if you think about it, and compare the resolutions. 360 has 640p and ps3 has 1080p (if true) than it is nearly 4 times as powerfull as the 360. now imagine they would make 640p games on ps3, they would run too fast to play. this prooves only that the ps3 is far more powerfull.

[athlon770]

The 360 is a HD machine supporting 720p and upscalling to the 1080i and with a recent firmware update 1080p. The only game I am aware that falls to the low res is the famous Halo3. Which in my eyes still looked beautiful, just a bit on the jaggie side.

The thing is that both the 360 and the PS3 were supposed to be next-gen systems. MS got the jump when Sony had troubles with the reliability of their new system. MS should have done the same amount of testing but because of their rush to market, we get the wonderful RROD. To make matters worse, Sony had more delays with the PS3 and ended up getting it out way latter than hoped. Again putting the spotlight on MS this couldn't have made them happier. The thing about this though is that both machines are compariable to each other. Just that MS decided to scrap the HD-DVD drive for the cheaper DVD9 drive while Sony stuck with the BD drive. It is this reason that I think the PS3 is the true next-gen system. Not because of the cell processor, but because Sony had the forsight to keep to their guns and give us a true next-gen format. The PS3 is not more powerful than the 360, and vise-versa. Both systems will excell in the area the system was designed for. Now, are we gonna see the 1080p @ 120fps out of the PS3...well, I'm not going to hold my breath on that one!

ps, I neither agreed or dissagreed with you so please don't think the dissagree was me... :)

[marcindpol]

cant wait for that game, it will look super even on my sd tv!!!
only 9 days to go out in europe:)

i traded my copy of resistance months ago, now i am realy hungry of good FPS game!

[mighty_douche]

but i gotta say, the ps3 graphics are only just behind the PC, with in its self is a huge achievement for the console.

been playing the PC demo over and over lately and the amount of stuff going on is unbelieveable, it feels like a real war revolving around you. if the ps3 can handle all this action at 1080p and maintain a healthy frame rate, then perhaps the ps3 really is as powerful as sony said.

i kinda feel sorry for xbox owners but after putting up with all the crap they gave ps3 owners over multiplat games, im happy the only AAA multiplat game that matters excels on the ps3.

times are changing?

[SofaKingReetodded]

I have the PC demo running on a rig that would leave you broke for two months and the PS3 version BEATS THE SNOT OUT OF IT.

[mighty_douche]

console noobs dont have a clue.

dont get me wrong, i love my ps3, but my pc is light years ahead of it, but yes it does cost ALOT more than console gaming.

plus ill be enjoying 32 players online not 16/18.

[Kleptic]

No multiplatform games even compare visually to this game...oblivion is probably the best looking multiplat game so far this generation, and the PS3 version was regarded by every credible source as the best...

360 fanboys shout all the time, especially recently with the VF5 stuff...but the point with games like that is that they do not push either system...is VF5 one of the best looking games on the PS3, or 360 for that matter?...Not even close, for either system...T5 DR looked better, and that is a year old arcade port...T6 makes VF5 look like a Wii game...

these multiplatform games looking better on one system were totally irrelevant until CoD 4...this is the only game going to all platforms that really pushes any of them...this will be by far the best looking 360 game ever made if it looks even close to those posted screens...as well as the PS3 (its more or less confirmed its the best looking game so far...Uncharted will be knocking on that door in a matter of weeks though)...

it doesn't matter though...PC will always be the best overall, assuming you have the rig...which makes these pointless console arguments so funny...360 owners can all slap each other on the back on superior versions of games like VF5...and PS3 owners can rest assured that they have not gotten a crap port yet of any of the worthwhile games...and CoD 4 definitely adheres to that reality...

[TheMART]

"DJ -
11.2 - PS3 doesn't have an upscaler
so it's running on native 1080p on the PS3 version of COD4. Pretty sweet, huh?"

Exactly. The PS3 doesn't have a hardware upscaler. But it DOES upscale, on a software bases. It can't do horizontal and vertical scaling at the same time, so that's why the PS3 upscaling will end in a bad result. The 360 has ANA hardware upscaler, a very, very good upscaler. Wasn't the PS3 also having problems if you ain't got a 1080p TV to put the resolution on 720p? It got 1080p or 480p or something like that. Nothing in between. Does it still have that problem? Native HD or you just get SD?

The 360 version is also confirmed to run 1080p native.

Only a few days and we'll see the comarison screenshots and video's. Will the PS3 have another game with jaggies or will it be on par with the 360 version this time?

[Antan]

Hey up Mart.
That issue was fixed sometime ago with one of the firmware updates. It was something to do with a 720p/1080i issue on older HD sets.

Best
Ant....

[GaMr-]

Yeah Mart the listen to Antan the PS3 issue with "downscaling" was fixed awhile ago. But wasnt the Xbox360 having an issue with Red Rings of Death and over heating and bricking or did they fix that yet?

Anyways good question about which game is superior. We will have to wait and say. The only word we have heard is that the PS3 version is Superior.

: )

LINK...Cause I know you will asK:

http://www.dailygame.net/ne...

[Bonsai1214]

to my knowledge, ps3 doens't upscale ps3 games. only ps2 and psx games. so it has to run at 1080p native for the ps3 version

[jay3]

Man, I can't wait for this game!

I'm getting it for 360, but hell this looks great

[gnothe1]

will you guys just STFU about this game being superior on the PS3. this is just IW way of getting you sony boys hyped about this game so they can sell as many copies as possible, because they know its a wrap on the 360!! plus every time they dad a game convention E3 or game demonstration or what ever they always showcased the 360 version!! why is that! if i got a product an I want to wow you im bringing in my best piece of work. but all of this will be put to rest in a few days!!

[OpiZA]

... I donno whats going on in peoples minds.

Both games are 720p native and can upscale to 1080p.
Both games run at around 60fps.
Both games will look close on identical.

There has been no footage from the 360 final build so the PS3 consumers must have some magical website where they've seen the proof that the ps3 has "superior" graphics. And please don't quote that half-arsed Dailygamer reviewer as he probably compared the earlier beta build vs the final build.

I own both consoles and i'm just making an informed observation, rather than presenting speculation and opinions as facts, which is an unhealthy way of thinking... it's usually the early stages of fanboyism.

Now maybe we could wait till both versions are out and make a decision... If it even matters that much too you.

[media73]

Yes I am a grx whore, there I said it, yes i love grx, Vegas single player i enjoyed apart from all the jaggies, but the multiplayer? wtf it looked like a crap game on ps2. Now this game wow, I was in the beta and it was great fun especially crash.

I own a Ps3 as well, and to be honest I have not really touched it, not many game currently have ingame chat, and those that do nobody talks. The fact i could invite my firends into games i was already playing put the final nail in the dustbox. But being a grx whore the ps3 version of this game has caught my attention.

Is the fact its on Bluray enabled IW to increase the resolution of the textures? Only time will tell, its too early to judge, when we have not seen 360 grx of the same shots. I love the 360 for live and the ability to enjoy online gaming which is something the PS3 lacks, its feel unserfriendly. Besides most of my friends are on 360, oh decisions, decsions, either way I will see you all online.

oO Para Oo

[Kleptic]

why do people say that?...almost every multiplayer game on the PS3 has chat support...you are correct that sometimes people don't really use it...but its in every game worth playing...

what doesn't have it?

Fear and The Darkness?...both terrible online on any platform...

[FourtyPoundSteak]

360 or PS3, CoD4 is gonna be amazing.. when are people gonna stop arguing over what system they have?

[ukilnme]

Haven't you heard? They never will until there is only one. That's how fanboys roll. Just keep gaming and leave the arguing to them.

[BIGBAER]

There are too many instances of excellent textures alongside very poor ones. Also, the overall color is bland and washed out; unrealistic.

PGR4 does far better textures and has true photorealistic buildings---with true-to-life window reflections on a fast-paced racing game.

COD4 compared to GEARS? Gears wins!

[GaMr-]

I would have to be a total idiot to even argue the points you just made.

I mean your soo right. People are blind. I was playing super mario 3 on my nintendo 8 bit the other day and I put it next to Ratchet and Clank for the PS3 and wow the textures and environments are soo much more detailed on Super Mario. Sheesh. Next Gen is over rated. last gen and old games for the win. /Sarcasm

Bro Honestly. Gears looked Great for its time and that time passed. COD 4 is the future and Hands down. The Best Looking Shooter of 2007. DONE !!!

Wow KZ2 has its worked cut out alright. This is probably why the pushed till 08.

[BIGBAER]

Honestly, if you want to see truly awe inspiring details take a look at PGR4; it's incredible!

As for COD4, after viewing all the screenshots I could find---for both consoles, it's clear that the 360 version has more detailed textures and environments. The 360's colors are richer as well.

In any case, both versions will be fun. Still, nothing will beat Halo 3's multiplayer for longevity. It will be played for years.

[SofaKingReetodded]

@ delusional xbots

[BrownPowerzz]

..and I still love those screenies!! By the way, this game will be AWESOME on ALL systems!!

We are all in for a treat!! :D

[teto83]

cod4 is going to be so huge!!!

[kornbeaner]

Having been fortunate enough to play all 3 version of the game, this game is gonna leave some jaws on the floor. It looks that damn good. Personally I love the way the PC controls and looks on a high end PC, but if that is not an option (and for most it isn't) either version will do just fine.

[Pain]

PS3 Worth every penny that i Never used for a 360.

[iNcRiMiNaTi]

im gettin a ps3 on christmas next month and i currently own a 360 now, my pc prolly isnt powerful enough to play this game so thats out of the question and im wondering...

should i wait a month to get the ps3 version or should i just get the 360 version next week? im more toward the 360 version since i already have friends gettin the game so i could just jump in and start gaming and try to nab some achievements but the ps3 has free online play and i wanna play something online for that...

which one should i get?

[edit] maybe i shouldve asked this on a multi-console section instead...

[ukilnme]

I suggest getting it for the 360 and playing with your friends since you won't be getting a PS3 until Christmas. As for the free online for PS3 you can always try out Resistance. I have not played it but a lot of people think it is a great game.

[The Only Truth]

No, you don't necessarily have to ask in another forum. Here actually (really) are some grown ups.

So, i only own a 360 and i was playing the COD4 beta. But, id prefer the PS3 version. Why ? Cause Infintiy Ward was developing the game for both consoles AT THE SAME TIME ! No port ! I do think that the PS3 version is technically bit superior. My honest opinion.

Pro PS3:

* a console that actually is quiet while playing the game
* a slightly better COD4

Pro 360:

* the game is coming 1 month before the PS3 version
* the controller is superior to the PS3 one

The choice is yours now...

[kornbeaner]

the game is releasing for the 360 and PS3 at the same time. He is getting his PS3 for christmas. so there lies the problem. other then that totally agree with you.

@35
I would say if you already have your buddies ready on the 360 go for the 360 version. Unless you also have a buddy list waiting for you on the PS3. The choice is yours

[iNcRiMiNaTi]

@The Only Truth - you said its slightly better so thats not a big deal, im not really a graphics person, if its the same gameplay overall then im fine with that

@kornbeaner - yea..i dont really know anyone who owns a ps3 yet, so i guess ill go for the 360 version since i already have people to play against or do some team/clan matches...

ill just get warhawk for my ps3 online MP fix....bubbles for u both

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

all up and down this thread

[UltramanJ]

Killzone who?

[junk56]

killzone 2

duh.

[zonetrooper5]

The RSX is pretty much an overclocked 7800GT. At least the Cell is helping it out alot.

I do like the fact that alot of people in here seem to be techies but fake techies at best.

[ichimaru]

i can't even complian. these look nice. hopefully both versions will do good. good job I.W and ps3

[Gamer13]

Xbox-Live will be good for this game.

[DeZimatoR]

lol, yeah they are 'pretty nice' as you said...Killzone 2 doesn't look pretty nice, more than 6 months away of being released, it looks awesome ;)

So yeah, CoD 4 doesn't touch Killzone 2 in graphics, although it touches, pushes and smacks some other FPS that is considered the second coming (or the third in this case :p) by many blind fans...

Ah well...

[kunark]

ok this is totally of the subject but i am looking for a desent hd tv what one am i looking for to get the full power of the ps3 i see all these 740p hd tv and 1080p hdtv idk what im looking for any help would be nice asking cause i dont want to do a 1/2 way upgrade i want the full package and ya i think im get cod4 when i saw cod4 comming out i was thinking another ww2 battle but this is in present time be oooooo so sweet

[BigFART]

Is the period button on your keyboard broken or something? 740p??? Wha...Oh, you must have meant 640p as in Halo 3, right? HaHaHaHa!! But seriously, if you're going to invest money in a HDTV, get 1080p.

[S L 3 V 1n]

Ok first this game was made for pc so all you console people stop acting like kids i own a ps3 and hardley play on it because 512 is not enough power to see how the game can run on ps3 & xbox360 pc well always have avange over your consoles oh if you think killzone 2 looks awesome just think how it would look on pc not a port so you guys can stop acting like kids ok

[UltramanJ]

So you can play a slightly higher res version of a console game. Oh, and it'll be outdated in a couple years so you'll need to pony up a few hundred bucks more if you want your games to look as good as the screenshots you see.

[THE TERMINATOR]

Your full of sh1t

[S L 3 V 1n]

ok i wonder why crysis is only for pc. Because the pc has way more to offer in cpu mem. gfx cards and motherboards, also the pc is a more powerful system. gears of war is coming to pc and the pc version is way better in gamplay and graphics wise so yea i guess iam full of it

[Amp]

LMAO

[vickers500]

I was going to get this for my 360, but seeing as how it just RRoD'd, I might have to get this for my ps3. Not to sure.

[PS360PCROCKS]

damn this game looks awesome!!
