Now that we've seen both console version in action, the truth about quality has become more evident. Aside from a more publicized media release for the PS3's Battlefield 3, the final verdict on which console is going to have the best graphics and gameplay came from EA's CEO, John Riccitiello.

Heartnet4615d ago

Cuz Ea is sonys bitch publisher so they gotta be a lil bias now ;)

EDD2134614d ago

If thats the case then why is your PS3 so shitty compared to my Microsoft PC

360's version has already been confirmed to be using fxaa.
Fxaa is said to be as clean as 4 to 8x msaa. Unless ps3's version runs at 60 fps, I don't think it will be the better of the two console versions.

kikizoo4615d ago (Edited 4615d ago )

Where are jetlian, ihateyoufanboyz, ATI, qwerty, matadores, and others mutiaccounts, etc etc etc denying that all day long despite lens of truth comparison.... but now, with the EA guy and this article, they probably can't fight anymore (even if they are not afraid of denial, lies, etc)

"The PS3 version of Battlefield 3 looks very close in graphics and gameplay to the PC version, while the 360's lower resolution textures are slighty more noticeable in well-lit areas. However, Battlefield 3 on 360 is still the best looking shooter on the Xbox, and that says a lot given the release of Gears of War 3."

LOL. This is a totally stupid article. Firstly, the CEO of EA does not make games. He is more PR lead, not lead developer. Second, he nevr compared the PS3 and 360 versions of BF. Third, Gears is still the best looking 360 game. Stop trying so hard to down play that great game.

BiggCMan4616d ago

I'd say Crysis 2 or Forza are the best visual looking games on the 360.

SuperBeast8114616d ago

True Gears looks good but lets face it its still just the unreal engine 3 were talking about its been outdated since 2008

JellyJelly4616d ago

Gears of War 3 is probably the best looking 360 game to date.

"its been outdated since 2008"

Just shows you don't know what you are talking about. I bet that even if you tried it and found it to be a beautiful looking game you'd still say the same thing. For brand loyalty or what it is you guys do.

Prophet-Gamer4616d ago

@Superbeast
imo, Gears 3 great improved on Gears 2. Sure, it may look similar (since the art style can't just be changed) but graphically it's definitely a step up.

And I agree with BiggCMan, I'd say the Forza series is the best looking on 360, F4 looks incredible.

Heartnet4616d ago

@superbeast

wtf ur basing weather the graphics are top dog based on the engine not actually on the graphics -_- The reason why they havent upgraded is cuz they dont need to.. Gears 3 graphics are beautiful and those kind of graphics are not outdated.. id even compare em to uncharted for the art style (since they changed it)

net1234564616d ago

@Superbeast811

You do know the Samaritan Demo also was UE3 Engine ? Outdated ??

Havent played GoW and have no 360. So cant say how it measures up to other Xbox Titles but to say the UE3 is outdated was weak. The UE3 changes and improves constantly. UE 3 from 2011>UE3 2008

ApplEaglElephant4615d ago

So yea, CEO may not make the game, but people who do report to the CEO.

sooo yea.... your comment is the stupid one.

theonlylolking4616d ago

Gears 3 is a bad game to show the 360's power. The amount of frame rate drops in story mode, screen tearing, ugly textures and no anti-aliasing is not good.

The lighting, motion blur and shaders are the only good thing in gears 3.

If you are going to show how powerful the 360 is then choose a game like BF3 where it looks better than gears 3.

AKS4616d ago

Have you played it? I bought it recently, and I was stunned by how much better it looked compared to Gears 2. The art direction and dialogue often aren't so great, but the graphics are superb.

gamingdroid4616d ago (Edited 4616d ago )

Gears 3 is such a drastic change in graphics I was amazed myself. I came from playing Gears 1 on PC on 720p too!

BF3 based on the demo (masqueraded as a beta) is a mess, with nasty pop ups (oh, there is a tree or stairs there) and with very low resolution textures. That was from looking at the game on PS3 for 5-10 minutes. It might be an unfinished product, so it might all improve, but as it is there is no comparison.

Also, that pop-in is very jarring for a game that relies on distance a lot.

squeeb4616d ago

Its not perfect but still looks pretty damn good I must admit (this coming from a PC player). The main thing is, its fun. I'm having a blast playing Horde Mode online.

That said, this is a BF3 article...should stay on topic.

The_Con-Sept4616d ago

A lot of games look better than another. As for Gears. Sorry but GT5 trumps Gears. /lolfail

Even when it comes to shooters. Man Halo 3 looks nothing like KillZone. /lolfail again.

You people and your graphics.... You might as well buy a pair of HD sunglasses you freaks.

@bigpappy

aren't you the guy that made that "Everything Sony Touches Turns To Mediocrity"! also u were the 1st one 2 post a comment in that article explaining how sony's stocks hav fallen and that they r so bad now!

DigitalRaptor4616d ago

Don't bother with that troll - it's never worth it. He'll never admit a Sony product is actually more than the interactive equivalent of dirt.

As for the article, whether it's considered stupid or not, the people with the sensible brains have known this since the start of this generation.

Let's face it, the 360 version will be great, but the difference between the 2 console versions is bigger than your average "360 multiplat is superior" argument, because it's not because of developer inadequacy. It's derived from a technological boundary-pushing find from a developer who is using all the strengths that each system provides.

I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.

But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.

Hofstaderman3d ago

EA can thoughtfully eff themselves.

Makersbreath23d ago

EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.

Chocoburger2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.

Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.

Cacabunga8d ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

MrBaskerville6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Microsoft did, Phil Spencer played a minor part. He instigated the buyout that led to Kotick escaping all his controversies while getting a golden handshake.

Someone on Twitter calculated that the people hired in Tango and Arkane Austin could get a decent salary for roughly 17 years for the money Kotick was paid.

InUrFoxHole5d ago

Yeah some thing tells me Kotics $ was already guaranteed before MS made the deal. As for the studios... Let's be honest here... none of those studios made system sellers.

XiNatsuDragnel8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.

MrBaskerville6d ago

Then they shutdown Codemasters and studio behind Jedi Survivor.

Atleast they could hardly do much damage that EA hadn't allready done. EA has shut down most of their studios by now.

ravens528d ago

What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.

Extermin8or3_8d ago

I mean part of the issue is that things transpired outside of work....

MrBaskerville6d ago

That's the thing he mentioned about not being a creep at all.

KwietStorm_BLM8d ago

You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.

mudakoshaka7d ago

Nerds think they are Gods when they are making video games.

NotoriousWhiz8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."

Yep, EA is disgusting.

Extermin8or3_8d ago

I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.

Well, anything to make those shareholders happy, I guess. They're all that matters in this industry nowadays.

EA stocks haven't been profitable in over 5yrs. They better hope Take-two don't get the FIFA license lol.
