Call of Duty 4: PS3 vs 360 Movies

Here they are - Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare side by side for the first time. Since CVG posted a bunch of in-game movies from direct from the Xbox 360 retail code this morning, they've had numerous emails asking about the PS3 version.

[MK_Red]

I prefer comparison videos from GameTrailers and GameVideos but these are not bad.

[jiggyjay]

Isn't it sad that the 360 is able to keep up with the PS3.. i thought Sony said that the next generation doesn't start until they say so! From all the hype Sony gave it I thought the PS3 will have better graphics than the 360 right when it launched.. A year(a half)later you still have Sony fanboys wishing and praying that Multi Plat games and even exclusives will be equivelant to that of the 360s games! Sad sad sad! Good thing I didn't buy into sony's hype!

@PS3fans below- There was a lot bashing of PS3 fans and Sony itself about its competitors. So many statemetns made by Kutaragi about the PS3 will be the greatest thing to come out until the second coming of Jesus! That's the reason Kutaragi is no longer associated with Sony.. All you fanboys believed all that and now its just getting harder and harder to justify spending $600 on a GAMING CONSOLE. If you bought the PS3 for blu ray then you are probably getting your moneys worth. But if you bought it as a gaming machine then you probably feel ripped off. Specially now that you can get one for $399!

[Violater]

there was def more rain drops in the ps3 version

jk

[Danja]

ever heard of Heavenly Sword...R&C....those are pretty stunnig graphically....Uncharted..??

they look the same ...big deal...it's nice to see that the Ps3 isn't getting inferior multi plat games ne more..that is overall pointing to good things to come for the PS3..

[jackfatal]

on the sea i saw 1 more wave on the ps3 version!
jk!
but i think the smoke is slightly better on the ps3 or maybe my imagination!

but they are the same!! maybe if u play the game on each console then u might feel a 1 bit different!! so there is no point on saying which is better!!

we all can enjoy the game now with out complains!! and i hope they keep this way from now on!! it just sucks when 1 console get the crapy version!!

[LSDARBY]

@1.1

Isnt it sad that the PS3's games are equally as good/better than 360 games not even a year into its life cycle compared to the 3fixme's 2 years.

[HarryEtTubMan]

LOL @ JigyJay ..ofcourse they look similar this is a MULTIPLATFORM game, built from the ground up meaning the will both have good version. You want to see the PS3's power look at Uncharted, Lair, Heavenly Sword GRAN TURISMO 5, MGS4, FF 13, KILLZONE 2... 360 has NOTHING that looks like those games. I have a 360. Yea bioshock had pretty good graphics... but it couldnt run it at 1080p NATIVE like the PS3 can COD4 huh? And Bioshock even had a "lock" onthe framerate where it woud'nt run as good so the graphics could look better. And you can turn it off or on in the options menu. The 360 does good for a old outfated machine. But its still not going to run COD4 at TWICE the resolution like PS3 can *NATIVELY*....meaning using CPU power. PS3 has come around.... and it's only uphill from here on.

[Ju]

@jackfatal you are not alone with the smoke thingy. But this was more like "do I see more smoke here ?". But else...identical.

[Evil0Angel]

i knew it, there is no way in earth PS3 will pull ahead of 360 in term of graphic.

@EDIT@@@1.12"..when u have more bubbles than me then speak to me xbot fanboy...""
i took bubble from you, (now u 2 have the same number of bubbles) and now you 2 can have prober conversation.

[beoulve]

Keep up?? this is stupid. Activision purposely made both games the same despite which platform have the advantage or not. They dont want to pick side. Keep Up, get real.

[jackfatal]

okeey!!!! ur box is better than the ps3!! so wat? leave us alone!! or u have that much free time to waist posting here and in gamespot? i guess this means only one thing!! ur box have died on u and its in the service now!!
damn it!! just go to ur news!! or r u all jealous that u have no good news like us these days? if not then go away!! (shoosh)

this is gaming not mine is better than urs!!
this apply to u too "Evil0Angel"

Sony fans are the ones that glorified the PS3 has the end-all console and said all multiplatform games would be far superior on the PS3, which hasn't happened yet aside from Oblivion. Grow up kid. Learn to speak english instead of spending your life playign video games.

[jackfatal]

when u have more bubbles than me then speak to me xbot fanboy!!

beside i never heard such a thing that ps3 fan said ps3 multiplatform will be far better than the 360!! only in ur mind u created such thing to justify ur attacks on ps3 for no reason!! if u dont like it then dont buy it!!

@info
bubble for u!! thats a normal gamers post!! u dont find these kind of statements among the xbots thats for sure!!

[Lionsguard]

That's because first of all most games are built on the xbox then ported over the ps3 and secondly the PS3 is harder to code for than than Sony promised. With games like KZ2, and LA NOIRE in the works it's only a matter of time before PS3 games exceed 360 games, that is unless they keep upgrading their xboxes thus making all other models obsolete because it'd be the only way to keep up with Sony. Of course this could all not happen as well.

Oh and let's not forget that the PS3 is still in it's FIRST YEAR. So the real question is "Isn't sad that the PS3 can handle just as good as the 360 even though it's been out for TWO years." That's right you all seem to forget that the PS3 came out a year later. If all the games promised for 2008 releases on time then it'll be one hell of a killer year for PS3.

[Gizmo_Logix]

It goes like this. Sony says that nextgen gaming starts when they say it does. The PS3 brings HDMI 1.3, SATA, pushing 1080p standards, high-bit rate MPEG4 and PCM audio.

The 1st gen PS3 games aren't are decent. But not great. The multplat games are sub-par to the 360. XBox fanboys rant and rave about Sony's statements. Yet, Bill "the Goat" Gates starts putting in HDMI and pushing for 1080p games (as the follower he is).

So, on the one hand. Sony's games weren't ready. But the multiplats are getting better and better. This was a known issue since there's a learning curve required to learn any new hardware as complex and advanced as the PS3.

So, the PS3 is moving along fine. It's the 360 that has to keep changing their hardware in order to try and keep up. But the PS3 has a long plan and they thought things out for the long haul. Their vision is coming true. It wasn't long ago that xbots were saying that multiplats would never look better on the PS3. Well that's turning out to be false. And it will only get worse for 360 fan from here on out.

Sorry.

[jiggyjay]

Don't give me that first year crap! The PS3 was suppose to launch in March 2006 and it was delay because there wasn't enough blu ray diodes so it was ready then but just didn't have enough for a mass launch. Technically the PS3 is 1 and half years old making it just 6 months younger than the 360.. The devs had enough time working with it because they probably have the dev version for the PS3 for at least a 3 years now! That isn't my point though.. My point is Sony and its fanboys were claiming from the start the PS3 is going to blow away anything that the 360 can offer because of the power of the cell and because of Blu Ray! That's the reason why it was easy to justify a $600 purchase for many fanboys! So its sad now that they can have the same gaming experience on a $400 console than a $600 console! Compare it like this... Would you buy a first class seat that's $600 more than couch when you will get the same service and same seating as the couch section? Probably not!

@gizmo- Sony does the same thing but they do a lot more and are more arrogant about their statemetns! Hmm remember the quote "rumble was last gen?" "next gen doesn't start until we say so".. Talking about changing hardwares.. How many different SKUs has the PS3 gone through? I think the answer is 4.. How many different price drops have they gone through? 2 from my last count..

[info]

This is really getting on my nerves. Why don`t you guys switch on the brain before writting something. Give me back my doll cause its nicer than yours mwoaaaaa.

You`d figure out by now that most multiplatform games are just identical in terms of content from one platform to another. Infinity ward differentiated the coding of the 3 platforms so that they all run equally to the specs of the game. The content is the Same.

They are certainly not trying to push one platform ahead of another as they are not going to build additional content or specific resolutions of textures or models.
If they were porting COD4 on DS then you can bet that there will be specific content developped for it as the current graphic elements will not run, engine as well. Its a rewrite in this case.
You will only be able to see different and specific quality titles for exclusives only. Do not expect any of the multiformat games to take specific advantage of any platform in terms of performance.

The funny thing is that you would be hard pressed to compare exclusives between different platform since they are unique, hence different.

As it stands the PS3 does not look leaps and bounces ahead of the 360 nor the PCs. In time perhaps. However there are some exclusives that are showing the possible potential of the platform.
The scientific calculations using PS3 also show that the technology behind is a powerful paradigm. In practice, many developpers will have to shell out some to get going on it. Whether it works out in the future or not, its something no one can predict for sure. Just enjoy whats there at the moment.
The 360 has already proved its potential and does not need to do so.
I have a PS3 and I think it is a sleek design and a very nicely built object...I can`t really play it at the moment but I can already use it for many things such as media streaming etc... Fact is it feels heavy and robust and could easily knock someone out...It reminds me of the build of the original panasonic FZ1 3DO...ah nostalgia.

[Gizmo_Logix]

Before you go on about the different SKUs. You might want to look at the 360's version that have been ADDED to the 360 since launch. The 360 still doesn't come with built-in wireless. The HDMI 1.2 has been added afterwards since component 1080p wasn't good enough (not enough bandwidth). Sony taking about 1080p was for good reason. They HAD HDMI 1.3 from the START. The different SKUs you talk about are removing BC, USB and card readers to cut cost. The core features are still there. Cell/RSX, HDMI 1.3, SATA, 720/1080p support. So, you see it was those later feature that had to ADDED to the 360.

360 Arcade
360 Core (no HDD)
360 Premium (20GB)
360 Premium (20GB w/HDMI)
360 Elite (120GB w/HDMI)
360 Halo version

And yes, the "rumble was last gen" comment was DUMB on Sony's part. But the "nextgen stats when we say it does" was not dumb. It was predictive of what was to come and is evident in M$ attempt to try and keep up by adding core features to their 360 line when the PS3 had it all along.

[ravinash]

So of course the games will be exactly the same if the Dev are doing their job right. there no benefit to adding extra features in unless either sony or MS pay them to do it.
So you can't really use this to ssy "hay such and such is better than whats it".
The only time either system is truly going to show what it can do is through exclusives.

[hardcorehippiez]

you are an idiot. first is was its not as good now its only on par with. wot the hell are you gonna say when it starts beating it ? stupid fanboy !!!

[Real gamer 4 life]

exactly the same thing. they both look identical in ma eyes

[pooh1125]

me too.
but raindrops are more on ps3.
i felt ground and wall textures are better on 360.
these movies arent gameplay.i would rather see gameplay comparisions.

[RadientFlux]

looks like it's bring out the binoculars time

[MK_Red]

Good one.
The game looks truly amazing on both systems and I can't find a problem with either one. Kudos to Infinity Ward for making a perfet game for both consoles.

[Sam Fisher]

u wanna talk bout graphics then y isnt the mph/kmph meter not going up on BOTH systems its good but not perfect... its not as detailed as halo so ...hmmmm i remember a post saying that it can go against halo i dont think so no details no good graphics details r most important on graphics department

[TheMART]

Damn that's pretty much right on. What I am interested about is this:

The PS3 version is hooked up with HDMI probably
The 360 probably on component. What if they hook up the 360 through VGA or the newer 360 model with HDMI?

That are the details that would be pretty interesting. Anyway, Infinity Ward really put much effort in the game to get an equal experience. If dev's can keep this up, it will really all come down to the exclusives you like which system you'll get, ofcourse combined with the price of the console.

I believe that Microsoft will strengthen its position with a pricedrop of the 360 line, just before Christmas. If the PS3/Sony feels save at 399 Euro, MS suddenly comes in and BAM announces 279 to 299 Euro for the 360 Premium (even with some games bundled). I see them doing that to keep momentum over Christmas

EDIT

Those Sony Defense Force/Sony Protection Group ones disagreeing: do you have the abilities to point out what it is you don't agree with. The connection methods? JEES

[bym051d]

Wow, if TheMart is saying they look identical, the PS3 version must be superior! ;)

[MrSwede]

I´ll tell you why I disagreed. Here´s a statement from you Mart: "1080p @ HDMI also gives washed out colours. And if your screen isn't over 42 inch, not many people would notice the difference. Component has more rich colours."

So what do you mean when you´re writing: "What if they hook up the 360 through VGA or the newer 360 model with HDMI?".

[pwnsause]

WTF at @4.

[Gizmo_Logix]

The MART would never say that a multiplat looked IDENTICAL. Now even his bias ass says it does. What happens when the PS3 start to truly pull away graphical?

the MART can always bring up, "it's the game play that matters." Blah, blah, blah...

It will happen. Bank on it.

Face it xbots. The 360 is a DUD just begging to be beat down.

[Masta_fro]

because MrSwede just owned you in epic proportions. He just proved (by using something you said) that you are an ignorant fan boy willing to say anything to prove your ridiculous points. In fact, i agreed to what you said, untill i read his post...

[The_Engineer]

Mr. Swede for pointing out why this idiot should be banned from this site.

[Sevir04]

MART, i remeber you posting that like 2 days ago... B*tich you are soo full of SH*T!!!! your own words come back and bite ou in the ass for the FANBOI< MICROSOFT B*TCH YOU ARE!!!!! proceed to put a foot in your mouth and then yank that 360 out of your ass because you have just made yourself the most riduclous looser here and is totally uneducated...

LOL!!!! this day i LMAO till my stomach couldn't take it anymore LOL!!!

[Daishi]

Mart if your saying that both consoles are hooked up with what they came with then the PS3 isn't using HDMI because you have to buy that seperate. It's impossible to tell really because these videos aren't in HD, but on the other hand who cares? Really if one has more acorns than the other you wont notice because your playing your version...

[renegade]

my god is totally identical but i pefered see in hd

[Hooded V]

I cant see any difference, It be good to see other enviromentsm, grass ect. But from this vid, No Difference.

[mighty_douche]

is anyone actually gonna play this game or just moan/compare it?

i thought this site was for gamers?

[black28]

360 looks better as usually

[mighty_douche]

what a tit....

[CaliGamer]

Biggie is turning over in his grave as we speak.......

[mark09]

maybe if you could put 3 words together correctlly I would aggree with you..

[OpiZA]

...IW on making a great multiplat game :)

[resistance100]

Agreed. IW have set the bar now for 3rd party multiplat developers. It really doesn't look good on EA

[Daishi]

EA might own some great developers (DICE, Criterion) but they suck themselves IMHO, how else can they charge $60 for the same sports game every year? But I get C&C from them so I have to keep them happy or they'll take it away...

[m23]

They look identical in my eyes.

[alfredoggy]

How is one supposed to notice any sort of difference from low resolution videos? Can't we do better than this??? BTW I own a PS3 and it seems as if both are identical copies.

[Fototherapist]

I totally agree with you. You cannot make a real comparison using low rez web video. You'd really have to have identical TV's side by side with the same hookups. Regardless, the reviews coming out are saying that both versions are nearly identical. I'll be getting the PS3 version since it runs at 1080p.

[MK_Red]

Agreed. As I said in my first post, nothing beats GameTrailers' HD comparisons but until they release them, this is all we have.

[ParaDise_LosT]

Make both of them look crappy xD
j/k :P
and yeah, they are identical.....

[Jen5en]

Having played the demo on PC with everything maxed, I can't see why it makes them both look "crappy". Unless "crappy" is just a word you like to throw in just to get attention. All 3 versions look much like, if not completely, the same.

[Maddens Raiders]

LOL (wildly) at black28. You're dead and delusional.

[IamTheStorm81]

.....so just enjoy the damn game. Either version would be worth picking up.

[MEGANE]

this game was created to be the same in both systems. You cant expect from ps3 to improve graphics by itself!!!

[SlippyMadFrog]

I destinctly remember PS3 fanboys using COD4 as one of the games that will be better on the PS3. Now all of a sudden it's like "lol @ these xbots saying they look the same, the PS3 was never supposed to look better"
Jeez!

[DeZimatoR]

So no point trying to do a comparison here.

Anyways, Mart, man, seriously, go see a shrink or something, you need counselling, fast!

Some ppl are just....strange...

[remix]

i used to love games for the sake of playing games.
now im envovled in all this fanboy foolishness. i realize i bash 360 games or try to find something wrong with them JUST BECAUSE THERE ON 360.

i even remember waiting for halo to get that ONE BAD review so i could laugh in there face. i get all upset with reviewers now even though i have my own mind and opionion.

i remember i use to look at a preview of a game and just go out and buy it and if i liked it, i liked it, there was no, waiting for reviews.

to be honest halo was one of the games that got me into fps's.
and when i first saw bioshock, i told my friend that it was gonna be a crazy game. (i still think mass effect looks boring.lol)

but i realize i dont have the same fun i use to have with games as when i played them for fun.

NOW DOES MY OPINION CHANGE THAT SONY WILL COME OUT ON TOP? NO, but im not gonna hope for the 360 to do bad. i just want sony to come out on top because i want to see the potential it has just like i saw with my ps1 and ps2.

i remember when i got the xbox, and i knew nothing about console wars, i actually would buy some of my mulitplats on that (splintercell) because it looked better to me on that and i didnt think about betraying anybody.

i think what gets me in my fanboy ways is that when 360 fanboys bash on ps3 and say it has no games or w/e, I GET ANGRY BECAUSE I KNOW IT DOES AND I JUST REACT. i know im not gonna change people in there ways of thinking and im not trying to. but im typing this because i need to help myself just become a gamer again.

i know why i prefer playstation over xbox, its because im a very loyal person and i stick with someone to the end (sony)

i know why i hate microsoft, its because i can tell who's just in it for the money. but regardless, i need to force myself to just pay attention to the games being brought out. so yes i still think the ps3 is better but i dont hate the 360, i just hate microsoft. i dont hate the games on 360 either.

call of duty looks the same on BOTH CONSOLES, and still i find myself looking for that ONE LITTLE DETAIL BETTER ON PS3 JUST TO PROVE 360 FANBOYS WRONG. and thats why im forcing myself ot type this so i can just get it out of my system.

idc if people say im just trying to get bubbles or not, but can we at least come out of this argument saying that we both have good games and were all gamers here.

and i want to thank news 4 gamers podcast for bringing that out and reminding me of all the fun i had back in the day when i was 7 playing my genisis. so goodbye to my fanboyism and back to the way i used to be.

and by the way, if you guys remember hotshot127..............IM HIM. hahaahhaahahahaah. but anyway, happy gaming to everyone

[LiquifiedArt]

lol. I'm with sony for the sole reason i know Microsoft wants to Purge the Videogame industry just like the computer one, with there $$$. And be in control of everything. In whihc case you'll get stuff similar to Television (rehashed games) over and over and over all (Mainstream). And They also want Monthly paymetns to keep there wallet Fat, along with there FUD Campaigns and other decieving adventures. I for one will not support a company like that to ruin the game industyr. Its already too late for the PC one. I'm waiting for a GOOGLE Operting System.

[razer]

And you think MS is the only company wanting to monopolize an industry? Just look at Sony and it's Blu-ray format and the amounts of cash thrown at it to influence the industry to back it.

[Frulond]

I'm on the same boat you are. M$ has always been pushing us for as long as I remember (since windows 3.1) I have been having to upgrade PC parts and software or will just become a piece of crap... and soon they will kill XP just to force you into Vista either you want it or not (which I personally hate vista at all cause tried it on my dads pc and sux he even got rid of it). I keep wondering everyday when is anyone on the 360 going to sue microsoft for their console failures? WHEN!? seems like they love their customer support or like sending they X360s for repair... but I think any consumer must have a reliable "whatever" for the money they paid.

Anyway... for me both versions look the same, tho the video quality is horrendous and can't really see any details, also they should have pair em right and not having em run with a half second delay or else...

finally bubble for you ^^

[gamesblow]

The PS3 has way better lighting on the 1st vid, check it for yourself again. The lightning is more responsive on the ps3 version. I love the game, beat it already but man it was a ride.

[OpiZA]

I checked it again... but I disagree.. they look exactly the same.

[The_Engineer]

if you look at the guy with his legs hanging out of the chopper, his helmet looks more authentic in the PS3 version whereas in the 360 version there is no specularity AT ALL on his helmet. The rest looked pretty much the same. I agree that low res videos are a stupid way to compare both versions. IF my kid really wants it I will buy it for 360( i already have the PS3 version), then I will post my own pic comparisons.

[gw4k]

It looks like the Playstation 3 is destined to suffer the same doomed fate as the Sega Saturn that disappointed a lot of people and sold very poorly!

Sega kept on saying things like, “The Saturn ‘potentially’ has more power than the Playstation and the Nintendo 64.”

But the fact of the matter was that the Sega Saturn never had developers take advantage of the hardware in special ways. The parallel processing of the Sega Saturn and Playstation 3 is too difficult to work with–it is very inefficient almost all of the time.

Playstation 3 has “processing power” based entirely off of Floating Point math calculations. Power like that is great for a computer spreadsheet, but finding ways to efficiently use processing power like that in videogames for the purposes of graphics is MUCH more difficult!

When it comes to Polygon Power, the custom Xbox 360 GPU from ATI is much more advanced than the Playstation 3’s Non-customized GPU that is based on four-year old graphics card technology. The Xbox 360 uses a custom GPU with Unified Shading, whereas the PS3 still uses the outdated Non-Unified Shader design.

And when it comes to Memory, the Xbox 360 is significantly better, just like the man said in the interview. The Xbox 360 uses the revolutionary new Unified RAM architecture, wheras the Playstation 3 still uses the outdated Non-Unified RAM architecture, which has been used for decades, and is now outdated.

Plus, the Xbox 360 is far superior to the Playstation 3 in online gaming.

Many legendary game developers have said that the Xbox 360 is very easy to work with and program games for; the Xbox 360 is very developer friendly. Xbox 360 takes all of the best developer features of the PC and combines them with the benefits of designing games for console hardware.

Silicon Knights did the right thing by making sure that the Too Human trilogy of games will be released as a console exclusive for the Xbox 360.

Xbox 360 is my favorite videogame system ever!

[Maddens Raiders]

Should read:

Please disregard *everything* above, "Xbox 360 is my favorite videogame system ever!" 8D

Damn dude I can't believe you wasted your life writing all that garbage. Must be awfully boring where you live. Boring and blurry.

[remix]

sony has to many proven franchises and loyalists that will get the system to sell. do you think those people that liked jak and daxter, socom, mgs, final fantasy, god of war are just NOT GONNA PICK UP THE PS3 WHEN IT COMES OUT.

do you not think that developers are more expierenced in adapting to hardware then they were in the saturn days.

as you can tell developers are quickly starting to learn the ps3's hardwar, call of duty 4 for example.

sony is also a multimedia machine, bluray alone will help sony's system sell. also, sega saturn used cartridges still while sony had made the cd disk and it was cheaper to make.

but the thing is, the price to develope for the ps3 will drop because of it gets cheaper to manufacture cell processor and all that good stuff.

if you think that somone that sold over 120 million consoles is just gonna fall out of the race and not even sell 20 million, your very ignorant and have much more to learn.

even perer moore said himself, he knows sony will exceed. sony can also go off of brand name, when i talk to my friend who dont know much about this console war thing, they ALWAYS say the ps3 is better JUST BECAUSE IS PLAYSTATION. thats another reason it will sell.

your just to dumb to realize these things. idc if you like the 360 better but saying ps3 is the new saturn is one of the dumbest comments i've ever heard.

and one quick comment on why i hate microsoft (not 360) but microsoft.

THE ONLY REASON THEY MADE A CONSOLE IN THE FIRST PLACE WAS BECAUSE SONY HAD MADE A COMMENT ABOUT PLAYSTATION SALES SURPASSING PC GAME SALES SO BILL GATES GOT UPSET AND DECIDED TO HAVE PEOPLE MAKE THE XBOX TO COMPETE AGAINST PS2. THINK BACK PEOPLE OR FOR THOSE WHO ARE TOO YOUNG, LOOK IT UP SOMEWHERE

[Ju]

gw4k, you should tell that IW, because they obviously wasted their time doing a absolute fantastic game - on both 360 and PS3.

[tfur]

This quote right here:

"Playstation 3 has “processing power” based entirely off of Floating Point math calculations. Power like that is great for a computer spreadsheet, but finding ways to efficiently use processing power like that in videogames for the purposes of graphics is MUCH more difficult! "

Proves that you honestly have NO idea what you are talking about...

sorry...

[The_Engineer]

games wouldn't be possible WITHOUT floating point processing. I think this only proves that some people should stick to just playing their console of choice and leave the technical discussions to grownups.
Ya hear that "Mart"?? lol

[mgbass13]

Everything this guy just said is total bull$hit

[Zhuk]

I couldnt have said it better myself. The parallels between the Saturn and PS3 amaze me, thing is the Saturn is one of my favourite machines, maybe if the PS3 only gets shmup and fighter releases when it goes the way of the Saturn it will become one of my top retro consoles in a decade or so

[ParaDise_LosT]

Atari 2600 vs PS3 vs Xbox 360 Comparison
then we will see which will be better!

[Zip]

as far as I could see, the only "difference" between the 2 versions were the ligtning effects in the chopper and in the car.

so whats the big deal? is this another my d*** is bigger then your dic*? or whats the big deal here guys?

[Bordel_1900]

So, X360 slaves, the PS3 can't have graphics as good as the X360. You've been saying that the PS3 has too little RAM, RSX is inferior, Blu-ray is too slow, etc......

Yet, even with the 360 having over a 1 year lead the on the PS3 is already surpassing the X360. Uncharted looks, graphically, set to kill everything made on the 360 until now.

[Goldsack]

you copy your own text in different threads??? :-)

[unlimited]

if you guys going to compare games it shouldnt be with multiplatform games because it will the same

compare the exclusive games sony got more better looking games that cant be done on the 360.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma
Heavenly Sword
Motor Storm
Ratchet and clank tools of destruction
War Hawk
Lair(yes i know but still looks great then any 360 game out there)
Uncharted Drakes Fortune
Killzone 2
mgs4

360
Gears of War

[soccerluv]

Ninja Gaiden Sigma cant be done on the 360??????? Oh my god.

[gerrard]

They both look the same to me, however what this proves about the PS3 potential is that when devs take their time building games from the ground up instead of porting games from one platform to another is you get a much better result (did you hear that EA), thus a much improved performance from the PS3.

What difference a year makes.

[ben806]

im sure there is a previous news article which states the ps3 and 360 versions are identical, isn't this post just a chance for fanboys from both sides to yell ignorant comments at each other?

[Jeromejones]

copied the images and run both format ones through a resolution upscaling program and then altered the contrast on both images and zoomed 12X. Everything is almost identical except for the normal mapped texture of one of the stones, which one the Ps3 version has 14 more grains in the texture. The 360 had 128 such grains which i individually counted in the stone texture while the ps3 had 142. therefore if you work this out as a percentage, 128/142 *100 = 90.41. Therefore the ps3 is 10% better visually in the texture department.

[Neurotoxin]

Please Please PLEASE, Tell me your being sarcastic.

If you are, then you must be british.

[SeanScythe]

I did the same thing with a screen shot of on the the Captains teeth and got the same thing but it also had a hidden message that said the mart has cookies. I was like WTF! So I did a sharpen on the image to view it a little better to find it really said Coodies. Not sure what this means but I would be cautious when hanging around him. Seems the word as gotten out on the playground he hangs at when not making love to his 360.

[hokis4ever]

Well said lol...

@ 27.1 - Of course he's kidding!!! Just pointing out that there really is no difference between the two.

[Ps3Fanboy777]

Thats the only difference with this game i can see...

And regarding the "isnt is sad the 360 can keep up with the ps3"...

Shouldnt the 360 be way ahead at this point? Being as the Ps3 is SO hard to dev for?

The 360 is maxed, now lets see what the Ps3 can do.

[SOLDADO206]

ya and you can play this for 279 plus cost of cod4 thats the diff.

[mistertwoturbo]

"ya and you can play this for 279 plus cost of cod4 thats the diff."

and then drop another $100 for a 20gb hard drive if you want to download any content off xbox live. plus xbox live account for a year, $50?

That's $429.

How bout a $399 PS3 that also plays blu-rays, and free online multiplayer. And comes with Spiderman 3 which costs $29 alone. Also the best part... You can play it without worrying about the infamous RROD.

[razer]

360 has achievements, voice chat in lobby, a better game invite system (by default), custom soundtrack support(by default), rumble. But I think we are splitting hairs here.

It's really up to the developers skill, time and money to produce a great game. All this crap that it should be ahead is garbage. Gears of War came about the same time you are now getting games like Uncharted and R&C on the PS3. Also, PS3 devkits where in the hands of many developers(1st/2nd party) just a month or 2 later than the 360 devkits. The PS3 was supposed to launch earlier but due to blue laser diode manufacturing issues it didn't.

[RudeSole Devil]

There where very small differences, for instance there where definitely more rain particles on the PS3 version than Xbox 360. This may seem like nothing, but it actually proves they are not identical. Also these clips are very short and in low resolution so this may be nothing, but the fact is that the further we start comparing the more I think the PS3 will shine.

[OpiZA]

The two video's used for comparison weren't in sync... That's why it may appear that way when looking at either half then looking up or down to the other.

They are the same... built from the ground up, but using the same content.

[RudeSole Devil]

They where off about 1/2 a frame, and thats not going to change the fact there was more rain particles on PS3. The fact is if the Xbox 360 had more of something, every web sit across America would of starting bashing the PS3. Instead all the reviews have been just copied and pasted. Before I would have bought the 360 version but the tide has changed. Now on to Assassin's Creed compassions.

[razer]

I count more sparks on the 360 version when the bullets hit metal.

I think the further we start comparing the more I think the 360 will shine.

;)

[RudeSole Devil]

What ever gets you through the night. The fact is the PS3 will start out performing the Xbox 360. Assassin Creed has already starting showing differences, and looking better on PS3. If you can't see that there more rain particles you may need to take off you Xbox 360 fan-boy glasses.

[Newage Custard]

Ps3 version has more rain?

[I Call 9MM]

Who cares, spend more time playing the game and less time arguing on forums. The two systems are really close in power, much closer in terms of power then the Xbox and PS2 were. Developers have been claiming the two are really close in power anyway. Do you really care. It's all about the games, always has been, always will. In this case, you have two virtually identical versions. Enjoy whichever version you purchased.

[ThaGeNeCySt]

where's the better textures and lighting?

[Arkham]

There's in the same place as the HD live-feed comparison movies.

[Arkham]

("There's" = "They're")

[CaliGamer]

There is no way to tell the difference between the two from these movies. There is no conclusive evidence other than them both being very close, which is what multi platform games strive for.

This only goes to prove that exclusives are the way to really make a comparison, because for multi platform games, especially games released at the same time, their would be he!! to pay if a company deliberately made one look much better than the other.

I don't think this game will offer much in the way of definitive proof on way or the other, what it does prove is if other developers took the time like IW did, they could have made excellent multi platform games too (::looks at EA with disgust::).

I hope if developers try to pull that PS3 is hard to develop for bull, the media pulls out a copy of COD4 for the PS3 and just lays it on the table during the interview.

[mistertwoturbo]

there's more rain in the PS3 version. not like that matters. but that's the only noticeable difference i can see from that tiny video.

[CaliGamer]

I can't argue with you over what you think you saw, I own a PS3 and love the system, I looked at the same videos and I could not tell a thing other than the games are almost identical.

If you saw more rain, then I guess you saw more rain, I have no vested interest other than some healthy discussion, but there are discussions that can't be made, and from these poor videos, I am not willing to say that the PS3 version is superior in any significant way.

In the end, this game has more value as hard evidence that the PS3 will produce results if developers choose to take the time to make correct decisions rather than looking for the short cut.

[big_tim]

Which performs better online? This is the only determining factor for me as to which version I buy(PS3 or 360). I played the beta on the 360 and with the limited number of people that had access to it, there were only a handful of times where it lagged out. I have had similar experiences on other 360 games especially Halo on big team battles, but I have yet to experience any lag when I play warhawk, resistance or motorstorm?

Can anyone actually answer this without a "fanboy" comment?

[Neurotoxin]

Both should perform equally on Live And PSN.

Both have the same capacity for multiplayer,Rank Advancements, Ability enhancements etc etc.

Only thing that really separates them is the Achievements on Live.

Correct me if i`m wrong anyone, but i believe them to be entirely the same except for the 1 point i made.

[AngryHippo]

.....HATE FANBOYS.

[mistertwoturbo]

yeah fanboys in general. regardless what system they own. they're the same with cars, honda fanboys, wrx fanboys, evo fanboys etc. etc.

narrow-minded biased bigot racist come to mind when i think of a fanboy

[yamamoto114]

SO DO I. YOU SHOULD ALL SHUT UP.

[Antan]

Based on the vids............They are exactly the same! Whatever system you have (PC included), you are in for a great time. Hats of to IW on what quite clearly is a fantastic multi plat title across multiple formats. I await friday with sweating palms!

[Lex Luthor]

They both look the same for crying out loud, but i prefer the 360 version: better controls, rumble, everyone has headset for communiccation and xbox live.

[DJ]

That's way too subjective, especially since I know that I prefer the Controller S over the 360 Wireless. Rumble is sort of a moot point too since PS3 version has Dual Shock 3 support. Well...we have to wait like 4 months, but it will be there. As far as i know, the online for both versions identical, though I do wish everyone on PSN had a headset. It's helps a LOT during multiplayer matches.

[aliveinboston]

The only meaningful differences visible in these super low resolution videos are in the one with the chopper although all the differences slightly favor the PS3.

1) Look at the lighting on the helmet of the chap near the window. It's smoother and more consistent on the PS3. On the Xbox360 it's a little more binary but if the videos were not side-by-side no one would notice. Not a biggie. Also the lighting on the sleeve of the person holding the gun is marginally better on the PS3. Nothing big. The latter could even be a result of how the image is being output (HDMI vs component).

2) Look at the dangling rope. It is better modeled on the PS3. Especially when the camera gets close to it it looks better on the PS3. Again, nothing big.

3) Look at how the rope moves just when they are about to jump off the helicopter. It moves beautifully on the PS3 and appears to have nice weight and flexibility but on the Xbox360 it looks somewhat stiff and rigid. I don't know if this is a development issue but unless they are using the XBox360 CPU for texture compression to get around the lack of hard-drive or there simply wasn't enough space on the 1MB cache shared by 3 cores (that's kind of small) there's no reason why the Xbox360 should not be able to manage physics on a single rope. If I had to guess, I'd say it's just an optmization issue.

A second look shows that the thing hanging from the car's rear view mirror also moves a little better on the PS3. Again, not sure why. One hanging thing is not a huge physics hog and does not require anywhere near the CPU power the CELL has to simulate. Probably ran out of time to optimize on the Xbox360.

4) The most easily noticeable difference was that the PS3 had much more rain particles. Odd considering that's the one thing the Xbox360 is theoretically better at than the PS3. Perhaps it's a CPU bottleneck.

To sum it up: More rain particles, better dangly thing/rope physics, slightly better lighting in one of the cut-scenes. Nothing big.

Analysis: Nearly all the differences point to the difference in CPU performance. The developers must have finally figured out how to use an SPU. However, that does not mean that each console's CPU is being properly utilized in this game, in fact, its pretty obvious that they are not. I see no reason why, in COD5, the XBox360 would be able to have more rain particles and good dangly thing/rope physics.

The only remaining question is resolution. Can both or either console run this game in true 1080P?

[DJ]

People spend a lot of time trying to see if the screenshots between the two consoles look different, when really it's the animation quality, physics quality/quantity, particle effects, lighting, etc, that need to be taken into consideration.

Rope is a CPU-intensive Inverse Kinematic chain, and it's just a small example of something that PS3 can chew through. Now you can bake physics animations (i.e. record their data) but that data is VERY large and thus takes up additional loading time and disc space to utilize, which is why real-time calculations are such a big thing. When I do fluid simulations, sometimes just 5 seconds of animation can take up 2GB of baked physics data. Now, that's with like 500,000 particles, but divide that up and you can tell how large these filesets get.

Cell has something like a 30~50x processing power advantage over 3.2 Ghz single core G5 cores, and even though it should technically only be an 8~10x advantage in terms of raw numbers, it really comes down to communication speed between cores, as well as the performance of L2 Cache vs. Local Storage and Atomic Cache Units. Very simply, Cell was built to run SIMD code (physics, animation, polygon processing, rendering, all those things that supplement graphics) a lot better than anything else out there. This data is straight from IBM, and when a company says "This new processor kicks our old processor's ass", you better believe it.

I doubt many Multiplatform games are going to have the difference in quality that we see with exclusive titles such as Uncharted or Killzone, but as you pointed out it's still noticeable. It's hard for developers not to take at least some advantage of the architecture given to them. It's also a multiplatform developer's job to keep both versions as identical as possible, and that's the real reason we'll only see small hints of a power advantage, such as in COD4.

I don't want to get into resolution too much though, since there's so many people saying PS3 can't run 1080p while game developers are saying that they can, etc, etc. As far as I know, COD4 runs at native 1080p on PS3 and native 720p on the 360. If you want to know the reason behind why PS3 games have a pixel advantage, just PM me.

[FPS nut]

You realy just don't know what your talking about do you? Bet you had make believe friends growing up didn't you?

[DJ]

How would you do the rope animation? I simply think Inverse Kinematics is the easiest way, but please explain exactly how you would do it since you obviously know a lot more than I do.

[power of Green]

Your kidding right?. Rain? lol one dev team used fat visible drops and the other tried to blend the clear rain into the night only with the lightning exposing them. lol

Rain" still fighting to the end as expected. Both these games are very impressive!.

[Neurotoxin]

And when the next Multiplatform game that comes out, I.e Assasins Creed or Kane & Lynch Have frame rate problems etc etc on the ps3(although I hope i`m wrong), everybody who has just boasted about The PS3 version being better is going to eat their own words.... And so it will continue on and on and on and on.

You actually could have quietly excepted that the Ps3 is Marginally better (I cannot see it personnally), Content in the knowledge that you have a better version (marginally), But instead the fanboy crap is spewed once more, Thus creating more arguements in the near future.

Congratulations.

Yawn.

[sjappie]

Everybody can be happy. Game on.

[Pika-pie]

They got it spot on. Both games look identical from these videos.

I dont really care though because Im not buying this game. Lets hope Assassins Creed is just as good.

[LONEWOLF231]

They look the same BUT expect for the PS3 version to have many noticable jaggies!!!

Look at the pic i have provided!

But as we all know and have been telling the PHONYBOTS countless times that the 360 is better at handling AA and HDR but they wont listen!

[shysun]

Wrong!

[shysun]

WOW... ummmmm I can't tell. Good jod Infinity Ward.I thought they would mail in a port on the PS3, I never thought it would be this good.I've been playing since yesterday and cant stop!Get at me,Im on right now! Sliky Smooth baby!! I hope we get MODS too, like UT3.

PSN: shuysun

[Meus Renaissance]

The game looks identical but maybe it's just me, but the PS3 version looked just a tiny bit better in terms of colour (ironically) in some areas like when was pushed into the car.

But as LoneWolf shows, there are some jaggies in certain areas of the PS3 video. Still great game for both platforms.

[LONEWOLF231]

Very true!!

[FPS nut]

All the hopes and dreams Sony fans had about this games graphics just came crashing down. "look at the rain, the rain!" and the 360 is two years old and sports DVD9, double ouch. Now on to the denile and lies in your blogs much like in the image below. (notice it has Wii, DS and 360 separate but counts all Sony's products as one) http://www.sonydefenseforce...

[gerrard]

Get your facts straight!

PS3 40g Sku+ Bluray and second generation games (Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted Drakes Fortune, Assassins Creed & COD4: with slightly better graphics) $399 with free online play.

X360 Elite (for hdmi)+ third generation games (Halo 3:640p, Mass Effect, Assassins Creed & COD4: slightly inferior graphics) $449 + Hd Dvd drive $200 & online play $50 (per year).

Conclusion? $399 vs $700 (including Hd Dvd drive and online subscription) or $500 (w/o Hd Dvd drive) for the same game.

[FPS nut]

I have a few Questions does the 40gb PS3 have rumble and can it play PS2 games? also does it come with HD cables? Can you play HD movies and TV with an Xbox 360 premium without a HD DVD or Blu-Ray player? Does the premium have HD cables and can it play Xbox games and do all 360s have rumble? Does the premium cost only $350 and the Elite cost $480? now not counting the gimped 40GB what do the other PS3 SKU's cost? Do they cost more than the most expensive 360?

[Wii60_FTW]

yes another 100% useless video from these guys.

360 = rumble
ps3 = no rumble

sony fanboys get owned.

EDIT:

Arika, who the f*ck cares about a price difference? at the end of the day, ps3 just sucks. no games. 360 has the best games and services. get it? no one would mind buying a ps3 if the games were worth it, but... they... aren't...

[FPS nut]

"360 = rumble
ps3 = no rumble" absofreakinglutly and they paid almost twice as much too.

[arika]

in case you guys didn't know,

ps3 = will rumble after a week( you can order it from japan )
ps3 = can sixaxis
ps3 = bluraydisc player
ps3 = can bluetooth and wifi
ps3 = is now a little better than x-box multiplatform games( compare call of duty 3 version againts the call of duty 4 version a big improvement)
ps3 = can only get better from this point( just not on EA games they have lazy programmers)

how about your xbox 360 lets see,
xbox 360 = have reached their maximum potential(just look at halo 3 at 640p 5 hours of gameplay 3 years in the making)
xbox 360 = can rumble( ps3 can rumble too. soon)

conclusion ps3 wins by a landslide...

oh by the way if you are gonna talk about price, there is not much of a difference anymore,

xbox 360 w/ hdmi 350 + 50(x-box live)= 400

ps3 399 w/ everything that i have stated above and online(psn) = 399

conclusion xbox has no more price advantage.

[The_Engineer]

love the rumble feature on their controller, back in the days they would just shove a gerbil into tube of toilet paper.

[Wii60_FTW]

That's the best you can come up with? You're gonna have to do better than that. It's just so obvious when a fanboy like you knows he's on the losing side. So, now rumble is a bad thing? Just wow. You've been drinking the Sony coolaid for far too long.

[LONEWOLF231]

shysun

The picture is there dude and its as clear as water!

[James64619]

I dont really care what one is better everyone knows that it's gonna be like 100x better on pc anyway

[Close_Second]

...don't waste our's or your time with posting comments on a version you don't intend on buying. When we get a posting showing a PC vs PS3 or 360 then by all means comment.

However, if it does not look 100 times better as you proclaim will you still buy it on the PC?

[LONEWOLF231]

Ohh well im still getting both versions!!!
You all take care!

IW and COD4 FTW!!!!!!!!!!!

[SDS Overfiend]

Good job Infinty Ward.

As far at the Rain goes. Yes the PS3 has more rain fallen because the Mist as not a good looking as on the xbox360 version(Thats the only thing noticable.)

As far as the ropes goe who gives a fuk about ropes and fuk'n car decoration? get fuk'n life you losers. You have to be a real @ss-pirate to sit there and hit remind to find different behavior in the ropes. Let me guess then. If the game physics differ from time to time what the fuk makes a difference about a swinging rope? a Fanboy trying say he got the one up on the 360 version cause his ropes swings better on ps3. LOL! Fuk'n loser your system sucks still. The best game on your system ain't even exclusive.

[RudeSole Devil]

And this is just the beginning for the PS3 to destroy the Xbox 360. So leave you mothers basement get a real job, and suck it up. You are the loser.

[Jeromejones]

i spose the pic shows the ps3 has more jaggies and less dramatic lighting but didnt the developers use the pc/360 architecture as their base and this time ported it well to the ps3. It doesnt confirm that the 360 can do better AA and HDR. Jsut look at killzone 2 and looka the fullscreen anti aliasing an the filters and lighting e.t.c. nothing on the 360 has matched that level.

[Close_Second]

We're discussing COD4 and again someone needs to bring up Killzone 2. Why can't you just be happy that GAMERS are getting a great multiplayer experience in COD4. Or maybe you just sit there and look at your PS3 until Killzone 2 comes out if you think COD4 isn't good enough for you.

[karlostomy]

Each respective platform (PC,360,PS3) had its own development.
Nothing was ported.

I for one, am glad that a multi title looks great on every platform.
About time.

[celticlonewolf]

This game was built from the ground up for all 3 systems thats why it looks great on all of them. I really think this game should be able to shut up fanboys on both sides of the fence. I mean there should be no more the ps3 is just a blue ray player and cant handle games doesnt have any great games all you need to do is point out this game. The other side anyone keep saying how so much more powerful the ps3 is over the 360 need just point this game out which was built ground up on each system. Very good game that shows what 2 great next gen consoles that are out. Good gaming

[SaMiR111]

XBOX 360 = PS 3 VERSION = XBOX 360 VERSION = PS 3 = XBOX 360

[celticlonewolf]

Oh one last thing that I thought id add to all the people on both sides that went on and on about how there version was going to be the best you know who you are lol I have one thing to tell you guys hheheheheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeheeee eeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeee ee lol that was very mature of me

[OmegaKulu]

heheh this is great, watch both side bashing each other sure is fun. you people need to get some air or actually play some games. you people need to realize that both version are done side by side, so they should look the same. For me, multi player FPS will be on PC, even though it cost more, but true FPS are on PC. mouse and keyboard will own your controllers any day.

[felidae]

Infinity Ward did a great job.

This game kicks a$$ and the graphics are some of the best i've ever seen - even photorealistic.

EA .. eat sh1t - skate is a great game but it's sad that you ruined the game for PS3 owners.

go IW!

[THC CELL]

solo player may look good i still want too see the screens of multi Player.

yet i dont really see much game play

Lets see what gametrailers offer and eurogamers

[EDF 2017]

THe 360 is still superior. Mainly due to one reason, superior Anti-Aliasing, that right there shows the 360 is performing alot better running AA at 60 fps vs. the ps3 with no AA at 60 fps. Basically the this shows the 360 is performing atleast 15-20% better meaning it still PWNS. Because any PC gamer know AA is a serious performance hog and the fact the 360 can do AA on this game at 720p 60fps is a feat to say the least.

Below is a link supporting my claim.

Also attached is a pic of the comparison vid showing full AA on the 360 version vs. No AA on the PS3 version. Look at the border around the back windshield of the car AA right there in your face. SO the 360 still reigns supreme. The 360 is alot more powerful to be able to run AA that the PS3 can't.

ENJOY!

[THC CELL]

A little seed is growing in my head

we have got a ps3 vs ps3 on our hands

people should investigate quick

[Nykamari]

Does the FIXBOX360 run 1080P or just standard 720P?

[EDF 2017]

Neither version is 1080p native, both are rendered at 720p then upscaled via hardware or software in the ps3's case. So both upscale this game to 1080p, any fan of the game knows they are both identical except for better AA on the 360 version, thus making it superior. The 360 is still going to pull ahead of the PS3 due to the 10mb of ed ram on the graphics chip giving a lot better AA performance.

PS3= 720p 60fps no AA
360= 720p 60fps with AA

The attached image show how underpowered the PS3 really is. No AA on the PS3 sad day for Cell processors everywhere.

I would say the 360 has a 15% more powerful GPU.

The attached image show how underpowered the PS3 really is. No AA on the PS3 sad day for Cell processors everywhere.

To below check the attached picture PS3 = no AA. Look at the metal frame in the pic around the back windshield I see jaggies on the PS3 car son, you = PWNED!!!

PS3 aa performance sucks thats the bottom line, wait till the HD versions show up, the AA will look even worse.

If anything the crappy videos should hide the PS3 AA problem in this game but it still apparent even in these small vids. AGAIN CHECK THE PIC I ATTACHED YOU CAN CLEARLY THE THE ALIASING ON THE PS3 VERSION!

Heres a link to further prove my point about the lack of AA on the ps3 version!

http://www.psu.com/Call-of-...

[jackdoe]

EDF 2017 you are a dumb son of a biatch. Both have AA and 60 fps.

-edit- Lol. Trying to use low res footage to prove your point.

[celticlonewolf]

does it matter they look the same

[Moentjers]

My boss comes to me and says : take all your developers and make a game that runs on 2 platforms and make it look really good on both. WHY would I care to make it run better on the one or the other. Just as long as I get my bonus at the end of the year for having my job done right.

Maybe if he would say : make a game for this platform and if it sells more than 1 zillion copies you get 1 zillion Euros on your account I would try to push the hardware to its limits... just enough to make it a little better than the competition (save some for next year).

[OOG FunK]

Both look basically the same to me in the first vid the image seemed a lil diff on the ps3 like a lil brighter but the second vid looked identical not enough to notice in most scenes all in all both look great 360 here I come!!!

[jackdoe]

You can't compare with low res movies and anyone who says they can spot a difference is pulling something out of their ass. You need high res movies nowadays.

[Edwin1989]

this comparisons make the EA-devs look like dumbasses :D

[PS3 Limps on and on]

What else is there to say?

[athlon770]

It sounds like a personal problem to me and should not be discussed on a gaming forum.

[MyNameIsNotRick]

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[skagrerrrr]

they look the same.

nuf said.

now go get a copy of COD4, start being gamers already!

[jackdoe]

If you have time to argue, then you have time to play. Unfortunately, I'm away from my PS3 for a couple more weeks and unable to play CoD 4.

[JoelEH]

I think I'll rent it on each console and then make my choice. GOD "it looks better on this console" "no, it looks better on this one" Holy crap get some money buy both consoles and then make your choice. I defenetly gotta say that X360 has funner games right now. BUT Ps3 is coming out with better......well not better couse graphics are pretty good on some games. BUT gameplay SUCKS....I should say. they are coming out with funner games now. I loved Ratchet and Clank it was FUN! But CoD4 Looks GOOD on BOTH consoles so stop bashing each other. Each console will get their own batch of good looking games that are fun. Its not all about the Graphics kids take Lair for example. Good graphics, but 1 of the most retarted repetitive games I've played. FUN FACTOR. CoD has always been fun and it looks good so. live with it.

[Ahhhh]

they look pretty much exactly the same.. only diff i think was it was kinda hard to see the boat on the PS3 version without the lightning.. looks good

[HondaSIRowner]

Its nice to see devs not being biased and are spending time on PS3. This game looks cool.

[achira]

ps3 version looks better. cant wait for that game.

[jackie chann]

There's no way to tell the difference on a small screen like that. But I bet they're both exactly the same anyway.

[wangdiddy82]

we got the best looking xbox360 game within the first year of the ps3's life span.. Ps3 is a beast of a machine.. Now everyone knows that, even 360 fans have to give props to the ps3 for pushing out graphics like this in its first year.. A lot of big websites said this is the best looking game on the 360 and consoles to date..

Its a great win for gaming fans all around baby..

[HondaSIRowner]

EDF 2017-"I would say the 360 has a 15% more powerful GPU" = fanboyism.

LMAO. PS3 is hard to develop for, so you cant go and say stuff like that, the game is identical.

This clearly shows that your a true Basher/fanboy and are probably mad/fear that devs actually got the game looking the same on both systems.

[-SIXAXIS-]

The only difference I see is that the first video, the PS3 had better looking rain and the lighting was a bit better. But that was about it.

[aliveinboston]

The rope animation is vastly superior but I dont understand why they didnt do it with the 360 since it is just one rope. Maybe they were limited by the small cache or more likely they were using the CPU to deal with streaming compressed data straight from the DVD through narrow pipe into RAM.

People forget that on the PS3, the GPU can have an peak RAM access rate of more than 45GB/s (if they use the unique oversized GPU cache properly to buffer data and hide latency) whereas on the Xbox360 the GPU never has more than about 21GB/s. Not only that the hard-drive and DVD can supply data to the RAM simultaneously, whereas on the Xbox360, because the developers are not allowed to require hard-drive use, all the data has to be streamed in super-compressed format from the DVD, which then has to be converted to a GPU friendly format by the CPU on the fly. This not only consumes bandwidth but also eats up CPU power. Ever used winzip?

Or maybe, as DJ said, they just ran out of memory. Without being able to rely on both a hard-drive and a disc, Xbox360 developers need to keep more stuff in RAM than PS3 developers. Not having a standard hard-drive is one of the stupidest decisions MS made. That and not making the EDRAM large enough forcing developers to use tiling. Although that still doesn't explain why games like Halo3 arent even high def.

One thing we can be pretty certain is that Xbox360 graphics have peaked. Gears of War was a release title and it's still as good as anything out for the 360. PS3, on the other hand, is still not being fully utilized and has games like R&C which have been compared by the New York Times to a Pixar movie.

[FirstknighT]

"One thing we can be pretty certain is that Xbox360 graphics have peaked."

Seriously? You can't be that dumb.

[The_Engineer]

I can tell you just from reading bostons post that he knows more about CPU processing than you can ever hope to know. Im a fan of both consoles but some rabid xbots really crack me up.

[EDF 2017]

Pixar movies aren't rendered a sub HD resolutions like rachet and clank. Google it, R & C is rendered at 704p, they cut lines from all sides of the screen, people don't see it anyway because it just removes the overscan. The 360 could run that game with ease. Nothing on the PS3 tops Gears of War and Crysis just surpassed it on PC.

[FirstknighT]

A game made for multiplayer will always be better on the 360. Add rumble with that and you got the better version on the 360. This will be another huge seller for the 360.

[HondaSIRowner]

This is PS3's (FIRST YEAR)and 360s been out more longer and is supposed to be a breeze to develop for, right?

How do you explain COD4 for PS3 looking the same as a console thats been out longer and is developer friendly?

How do you explain devs getting (360s SECOND GEN graphics) on PS3s first gen, LATE START, HARD to develop for hardware?

You got owned!

[FirstknighT]

How do you explain that I'm playing the EXACT SAME game on a $350 Xbox 360 vs. your $500 ps3??? I would call this another win for the 360 camp since the ps3 was supposed to be "3 times more powerful" than the 360.

[DJ]

Just letting you know. It's pretty obvious that COD4 isn't pushing the PS3 hardware very hard either. It's great looking, but yeah.

[Raptors]

Honestly, the fanboyism on this site DISGUSTS me.

PS3 Haters: You have to admit the game looks good on the ps3 and as time passes developers will bypass their problems of programming for the cell as evident in COD 4. KZ 2 is going to drop ALOT of jaws when it comes.

Xbox 360 Haters: How can you look at gears, bioshock and COD 4 and deny what the 360 can do? You can hate Halo but the multiplayer aspect is King.

I just dont understand why people can't acknowledge these two amazing systems without knocking each other down? I dunno. The more I come on here and see the repsonses the more and more I get disappointed with some of the opinions.

[ForROME]

LOL this guy who says isnt it sad the 360 can keep up with PS3, seriously, PS3 hasnt even been out a year, and isnt it sad it already keeps up..............sad sad sad that is

[Mc187]

It's common knowledge that the PS3 version has to be dumbed down to look like the 360s.
Hear me out please.
If a third party company makes a multiplat game, in order to avoid lawsuits from Sony or Mcrosoft the game must be close to equal on both consoles. If one version or the other was drastically worse wouldn't in theory the publisher be legally liable.

edit: they both look great btw

[Grassroots]

They both looks alike, both look the same, both are great games. Go play em, and stop comparing everything! What is with this generation every multiplat is compared. Enjoy the games.

Stay Tuned: Next week here come the Assassin's Creed comparisons!

[367 To Your Ass]

some of these people in this post are sick, ps3 looks better......"WHAT IS BETTER EXACTLY????"

THEY LOOK THE SAME, AND I HAVE BEEN SEEING THIS ONE SUBJECT MANY TIMES ABOUT THIS GAME.

BOTH VERSIONS ARE 5 HRS OF GAME PLAY AND PS3'S VERSION IS BETTER HOW ????...TECHNICALLY SPEAKING PS3 HAS THE SAME AMOUNT OF MEMORY AS 360,EXCEPT ONLY THREE THINGS 360 HAS 12 MBS MORE THAN PS3 AND IT CAN USE UP TO 460 MBS ON ANY ONE PROCESS OR FOR TEXTURE MEMORY,AND 3RD IT'S PIXEL AND VERTEX SHADERS HAVE THE SAME KIND OF MANIPULATION AS IT'S MEMORY.

AND IS THE PS3 VERSION USING A HOLE BLUE RAY,IF NOT THEN HOW IS IT BETTER?

ALL HAVE THE SAME OUT OF THE BOX FEATURES MAKING NO ONE BETTER OR WORSE. EXCEPT FOR PC.....IT CAN HAVE MORE ONLINE PLAYERS AT LEAST FROM WHAT I HEARD.

NO ONE SEAMS TO BE CIVILIZED AS TO DISCUS THE PROS AND CONS, DOES IT NEED TO BE A GOD FOR SAKEING BLOOD BATH.

[The Only Truth]

Why the PS3 version is miles ahead of the Xbox 360 version:

In the car in the PS3 version was a JVC MP3 Radio attached and in the Xbox 360 version only a Radio/Tapedeck ! Damn...

NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL (FINALLY) !

[xg-ei8ht]

The only thing i've noticed better on the ps3 version is the texture filtering. AF etc.

But tbh speaking about the game graphics wise, its very nice and all. But its not a big leap above anything i've seen lately.

And i'll pull no punches, Nothing touches Crysis full up dx9 very high(direct fx turned on) But you'll need a beast to run it:)

Farcry 2 is looking amazing as well.

[367 To Your Ass]

(I'm talking about the environments,npc's and little objects in the environments)

this game dose look as good as MGS4,(AS FAR AS environments,NONE PLAY-ABLE CHARACTERS, and little objects).......NOT TECHNOLOGY.

just a little question thats all.

[mgbass13]

dude, you're totally drunk. step away from the keyboard...

[367 To Your Ass]

HOWEVER BOTH HAVE A VERY RURAL ENVIRONMENT.

AND I SAID ENVIRONMENTS, PNC'S ,AND OBJECTS (LIKE TRASH.....NOT TECHNOLOGY).

when comparing the two in motion.

[Bladestar]

wow.. both games are identical... up to the pixel... developers really did a good job... PS3 owners should be happy... xbox 360 should be hapier... they have nothing to envy the PS3 so far.. at all.

[TheXgamerLive]

The only small differences I saw was that at times, the Xbox 360 version showed more smaller detail more clearly but only at times. Also at times I noticed the PS3 version look a tad bit brighter which took some small details away. Mind you this is small differences but still there almost twins of each other. I'm sure later in HD we'll see more differences and I wouldn't be surprised if their's some frame rate issues on the PS3, it's just a guess.

[gnothe1]

I think they both look the same , but the thing thats get to me is how the sony boys try an say the PS3 has first gen games look as good or better than 360 3rd gen games!! first off where did they get the time lines from, first gen an third gen!! second , did they forget that the PS3 was supposed to launch only a few months after the 360 so those games should have been ready for launch right!! it wasnt MS fault that sony wasnt ready to bring their system to the market when they said they would!! third how can they say that developers only got dev kits a few months before the PS3 launched!! thats a LIE!! ALL the BIG developers had dev kits early( EA late 2004,ubi late 2004)how can you guys explain the fight night PS3 demo at E3 2005 running on PS3 hardware, just the smaller ones didnt get one!!

if you guys wanna talk about something, I bet you all that the 360 version sells atleast twice as many copies than the PS3. an dont dive my that bigger fanbase story, because the PS2 has a WAY bigger fanbase than the 360, but the 360 sold more copies of madden 2008, so dont even try it.!! ANYWAY I LOVE THE GAME, I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO REPLACE GOW AN COD2 NOW!!

[bestgamer94]

are dumb
the point is that this is a awesome game meant to be played by everybody who has a ps3 or xbox 360

[SpinalRemains138]

I saw almost no difference. Both games looked really good. Looking forward to playing it

[Meus Renaissance]

First people mocked the price difference; then the delayed games and the inferior multiplatform games and even lack of games.

Now those aren't issues anymore, their ace is "360 has rumble"? And when the PS3 gets rumble, what? "360 is..um..I'll get back to you on that".

[Guitarded]

How did you get so many bubbles. Do you have multiple accounts that you don't post on just to give yourself bubbles. There is still a price difference, games are still getting delayed, 1 multi thats equal, and still less games. So get back to me on that OK. Dufus! Oh yeah and Infinity Ward must be magicians with crap hardware(PS3)because when I bought my cheap@ss now 3 year old Dell Dimension 2400 with a whoping 400 front side bus and a PCI video card(not PCIE), the only game I could run at more than a slide show was COD2.

Seroiusly I hate rumble in FPS I only use it in racing to know when I am going off track.

[StrboyM]

and i couldnt see much difference....but my fanboyism wont permitt me to say the 360 version looked good

winnar!! ps3

[BubblesDAVERAGE]

Yet wiht all these sony and xbox fanboys.....you knwo what there are never any wii fanboys....WII FANBOYS WHERE ARE YOU

[HeavyweightInTheGame]

They both look identical IMO in terms of graphics. Don't deny it. Even if there was a difference, you wouldn't be able to tell.

[dude_uk]

wow you guys found jaggies in the back of the car.....

gotta love the fanboyism

IF you look properly you'll see that the game looks EQUAL in almost everything

but it comes appart in some places where theres those jaggies on the car's back (PS3); it does not prove PS3 can't handle AA, what it does prove is that maybe the devs missed it and they didn't smoth out that part, but then again im not a DEV so i wouldn't know...

also

Stiff rope and less rain drops (360) maybe because it needed to uncompress data and thats why it fell behind in this aspect, but then again why are we fighting to show which is the better version when they look almost identical????

this was just an anti-flame war post folks not trying to prove which version is better...

[IBLEEDBLU]

they look the same...who gives a rats a$$ that the PS3 version has more drops or whatever..they are pretty much the same...both look mint.

for those xbots that are saying " i thought the PS3 was soo much more powerful etc etc" ahhhhhhh yaaaa it is lol the xbox360 has been out a whole year and dev says its easy for them to develope games on the 360 and yet the PS3 less then a year out and so much harder to dev for and already matching the 360 graphically...u would expect (for the bots that think the 360 is so much more powerful)and the extra year head start so dev already familirize themselve with the hardware they would produce a better quality version...but they didnt..and just goes to show the power of the PS3...and please compare 1st year titles of the 360 to the PS3 and its no contest..HS LAIR R&C and drakes...just smoke anything on the 360..

next year i expect games to blow our minds - oh wait they already have MSG4 - FF13 & of course KZ2!

[Guitarded]

how the XBOX showed its power over the PS2 on day one of release, with third party games looking better on XBOX, and some of the Sony fanboys are all excited that a year after PS3's release it's just now getting games that are on par with the 360! I have to laugh in the face of any PS3 fanboy that still thinks it's more powerful than 360. AHAHAHAHAHA. Losers.

[Guitarded]

I come on here to deliberately flame just for fun and I still have only 9 ignores! What's up with that? I don't want to get personal, but I'll do what I have to.

[Marcellus Wallace]

Does it really matter which version may look slightly better? No. Enjoy the damn game already. This place is LOL stupid sometimes.

[sniddles]

both look exactly the same from these, even the lags are identical...

Kudos to infinity ward.
PS3 fans, be happy, your game plays as good as the 360.
360 fans, be happy, you get even more good stuff as far as achievements and online functionality/friends/invites etc..

I was in the Beta, funds are low so this'll have to be xmas for me, but, i couldn't believe the framerate and animations in the beta, it's saying a lot for PS3 to be running it this well. Maybe they're on their way now and all that crap is behind us??

anyone who has this, i'm jealous... have fun...

[Shaka2K6]

LOL $60 740p dvd games.

[JosefTor]

Regardless of which system you play it on... make sure to turn off aim assist. It will make the game more fun, enjoyable, and for pro players... easier.

[jazzmanb]

oh, more rain on the ps3....i better sell my 360 and all these amazing games i have..plus lair is better than mass effect,right? and uncharted well be off the charts,right? seriously the ps3 is slightly less powerful,got it...if they managed to get it look close to the 360 version,be happy....on a side note i just played resistance again,and man that game looks old,kind of like a pc game from 5 years back,with no advanced lighting or anything..seriously if you dis halo3 and its 640p native res,you should really take a look at resistence,because that game looks like my original xbox games..

[mirroredderorrim]

Whatever, Fanboys. The game is damn near identical.

[Jeromejones]

ps3 version is better because it has blu ray. XD

[Shaka2K6]

That and the GPU in the PS3 is superior to the x360s.
Better graphics always on PS3 look at Unreal 3 and Haze.

[LuHawk]

Only moive lovers and and sony fanboys with only 2 games to play will believe that crap

[Jeromejones]

a second. The ps3 can run DVDs too so couldnt this game and many other multiformat ones be released on DVD on ps3 to reduce costs as blu ray discs are more pricey.

[solidt12]

They both look great, Now screw the comparison videos lets all go play. Yeahhhhh!!!!!

[leon76]

Ahahahaha!!! this video comparasions are funny!!!! how you compare graphics in videos like youtube or WMV, are you serious?????....

[JoelEH]

You freaking fanboys are plain dumb...
Graphics are not that important as long as they are GOOD. at least to me. Gameplay is more imprtant. If there is anything I would like to discuse here about game difrences then I would like to talk about online play. wich one is better? is the 360s better since LIVE is superior to PSonline... OR are they the same? cause if they are I well stop paying my 50 dollars a year and play this games for free....
then again I still play Halo.......hmmmm....very itresting.

Freaking dumb to me....
"rope looks better"
"rain looks better"
lighting looks bettter"

STFU are you really gonna look at that while getting shot at?
If you are then please let me know what your gamertag is. I would love to play against you online while your sitting looking at lighting and rain drops.......DUMB!!!!!!

[bloodzombie77]

Y'know, these do look alike, but as the rain falls, I can see the clouds in the sky, the 360 clouds look like clumps of Gorilla Turds and the PS3 clouds look like clumps of Gorilla Turds with corn in them, maybe just a little...or that may be a spot on my monitor....oh wait, I just farted...maybe we should do smell comparisons to see if it would smell more like roses on the PS3 or 360.

Give me a break. The only reason I'd like to see PS3 performance match 360 in every way is so articles like this become obsolete and unnecessary.

All the 360 and PS3 c0ckwaving is starting to get REAL old, and the douchebaggery that inevitably ensues from these articles goes beyond human-capable stupidity.

I'mma go play some old-school Starflight on my Genesis...have fun everybody.

[AliC]

Very little if any difference between the two to be honest.

[THE TERMINATOR]

lighting, colours and particle effects look better on Ps3. Not a huge difference though but the Ps3 version does run at 1080p and 360 at 720p thats a big difference and clearly shows Ps3 superiority over 360. In these videos the Ps3 version is probably set to run at 720p.
EDF 2017 silly NOOB the ps3 version runs at 1080p please get your facts right before posting BS.

[Zhuk]

The Xbox 360 version is clearly superior, crisper, clearer graphics combined with a superior award winning controller, achievements and the best online play with Xbox Live's award winning matchmaking and Trueskill systems, I know which version I will be purchasing.

Only Xbox 360 offers the complete Call of Duty 4 experience as envisaged by its developers

[aliveinboston]

It's easy to tell a marketing drone from a true Xbox360 fanboy. You're not an Xbox360 fanboy. Say hi to Major Nelson for me.

[njpunk24]

Honestly, who cares. Just enjoy the game you have. I've got the PS3 version and freakin' love it! This game is absolutly incredible. How great are the 'cut' scenes where you can just sit there and look around!? That's amazing. I know there have been games I've played where I wish I could take some control during cut scenes and this game lets you do that. That scene in the car at the beginning!? Awesome. XBox, PS3, just freakin' enjoy the game.

[mcgrawgamer]

to a console bash???

On topic:
Both games look stunning I think this comes from the fact that infinity ward had two seperate dev teams working on the ps3 and 360 version. I think more devs should do this it gives gamers what we really want which is quality. Good gaming to all!!!!

[Guardian0fPeace]

I think people do need to understand that whether geting the 360 or the ps3, they're getting one helluva deal. This is not the first article from reliable sources that have constantly been working with both systems and find both to be astonishingly close in capability. Some articles from other such sources (They have been seen on this site) have described how the 360 is capable of 10-15% more graphic detail, while the ps3, due to the spe's (floating point processors) is just around 10-15% more capable of accurate physics. Really people, why all the fighting? The systems are close enough in hardware capability that if that is one of the factors in determining which console to get, you can just disregard the hardware and decide based on the games. We all have different tastes for games, there's no right or wrong in that aspect, so why people bash each other over that is beyond me.

[Leg-End]

you would have to be sad to even care

[aliveinboston]

... that it even runs in 720P on the Xbox360. Being pixel shader limited, many Xbox360 games aren't even high-def, they just upscale, just like a cheap "up-convert" DVD player that upscales regular DVDs instead of playing actual High def discs like HD-DVD or Blu-Ray.

BTW, be careful of Guardianofthepeace. His posts look like those of a paid marketer, rather than of a genuine Xbox360 fanboy, and consist of false information while pretending to be impartial such as:

"Some articles from other such sources (They have been seen on this site) have described how the 360 is capable of 10-15% more graphic detail, while the ps3, due to the spe's (floating point processors) is just around 10-15% more capable of accurate physics."

There are no such articles anywhere. He is making things up to create confusion. It's an old marketing tactic that's even used in presidential elections. I've been around long enough to spot it in an instant.

Ticks me off too since there are many people here, technical people, PS3 fanboys, Xbox360 fanboys, who are trying to have a genuine conversation about something they enjoy. These people are like telemarketers but worse because they pretend to be something they are not. They pretend to be "moderate" to gain your trust then lie to you one they have you believing them.

[EDF 2017]

ALot of PS3 games are sub HD resolutions as well, actually there are more for PS3 than the 360. The darkness, skate, Rachet and Klank, yes R & C is only 704p, proven by the same guy that tested halo 3.

http://www.ripten.com/2007/...

List of upscaled games:

* Tony Hawk’s Project 8 - XBOX 360 - 1040×585 (with 4XAA)
o Tony Hawk’s Project 8 - Playstation 3 - 1280×720 (no AA)
* Perfect Dark Zero - XBOX 360 - 1152×640
* Halo 3 - XBOX 360 - 1152×640
* Call of Duty 3 - XBOX 360 - 1120×630
o Call of Duty 3 - Playstation 3 - 1120×630 (software scaled to 720p)
* Project Gotham Racing 3 - XBOX 360 - 1024×600 (2xMSAA)
* Tomb Raider Legend- XBOX 360 - 1024×600 (2xMSAA)
* Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground - Playstation 3 - 1024×600
o Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground - XBOX 360 - 1280×720
* Super Rub a Dub - Playstation 3 - 1600×1080
* Gran Turismo HD - Playstation 3 - 1440×1080
* Super Stardust HD - Playstation 3 - 1280×1080
* Skate - Playstation 3 - 1536×864 (no AA)
o Skate - XBOX 360 - 1280×720 (4x AA)
* The Darkness - Playstation 3 - 1024×576
o The Darkness - XBOX 360 - 1280×720
* Jericho Demo - Playstation 3 - 996×560

As you can see, each console has its fair share of “cheaters” (note that not all of the above should be considered ‘cheaters’ as this is simply a list of ‘odd’ rendering resolutions). Sometimes a game will run better on a console with a lower, antialiased resolution, while on the other console it makes more sense to have it run at full 720p. XBOX 360 tends to use FSAA more often, due to the advantage of having a 10MB EDRAM framebuffer integrated into the GPU.

Quite often though, games do not perform equally on both consoles. Tony Hawk’s Project 8, for instance, only manages to run at 30 fps on the Playstation 3, despite not having any filtering. On the 360, it looks and plays smoother despite the lower resolution, because antialiasing is used.

In the end, you can rest assured that even though you sometimes aren’t getting a “full 720p” experience, like in the case of Halo 3, developers are choosing the best resolutions and setting in mind to make sure you are getting the best graphics possible without sacrificing playability.

Link: http://www.hardcoreware.net...

[tk]

Seems like the devs are still getting their heads around the techniques to get full 1080p running on the consoles. Interesting how it shifts in resolution between titles - then PS3 has higher native resolution, then the XB360 has higher native resolution. No clear "winner" at the moment on which console can actually handle the higher resolution yet.

[Guardian0fPeace]

I think you totally misunderstand me. I have been reading articles on this site since before the launch of the 360, and have only just decided to try and help calm people down, all these attacks on each other over what video game systems to buy, it's just ridiculous.

"BTW, be careful of Guardianofthepeace. His posts look like those of a paid marketer, rather than of a genuine Xbox360 fanboy, and consist of false information while pretending to be impartial such..."

I don't get how you got this impression, but I am not taking sides with anyone on this. Both the ps3 and 360 are spectacular systems, both very close in power, having only minor advantages over eachother in a few aspects, and yet people still mercilessly attack eachother for preferring the other system. Had I been a "paid marketer", wouldn't I be bragging the advantages of only one system over another? Or are you attacking me because you prefer one console over another and cannot accept with the idea that the console you prefer is far greater than the other in ALL aspects?

What am I now Catbert, the Evil Human Resources director now?
