This game look awesome on both system. But damn that looks great

morganfell4591d ago (Edited 4591d ago )

Seriously? BF3 on the 360 looks great. Nevermind, I just looked at your post history. Anticonsolers are, if nothing else, quite predictable.

How does Gears of War 3 or Uncharted 3 look on the PC. Oh wait....

Iroquois_Pliskin4591d ago

Bubbles morganfell another awesome post.

the PS3 version is going to look good as well.

da_2pacalypse4592d ago

yes, both version will look good. Always trust Dice to give all platforms an equally enjoyable experience.

PRHB HYBRiiD4591d ago

yeap im very happy with the console visuals looks amazing imo cant wait for monday!

MGRogue20174592d ago (Edited 4592d ago )

Indeed.. and the PS3 version looks *EVEN MOAR* phenomenal thanks to the PS3's SPEs helping out with the deferred rendering which leaves the GPU to do other stuff. :P

Prepare for the attack of the xbox fanboys guy...

damnyouretall4592d ago

and that must make you a fanboy of somethin cause youre already startin shit. kinda like what a fanboy does, ya know

Chuk54592d ago

Well this is someone playing the retail build, so well see if it does. I still think the pyrimad has the Pc way up top and ps3 and 360 below at parity.

qwertyz4592d ago (Edited 4592d ago )

according to dice they both look equally crappy(run at pc lowest settings)at 1280x704 with no v-sync, no texture filtering and smaller maps and player count

the ps3 uses spu based differed rendering while 360 uses tile based differed rendering

they are both the same thing but the ps3 version is simoly called spu based differed rendering because the differed rendering is done on SPU and NOT the gpu

the 360s gpu is much more advanced than the ps3s gpu(which is why the gpu can handle the differed rendering while with ps3 it must be done on spus) while the ps3s cpu is better at graphics calculations and simple physics than the 360s cpu but the 360 cpu does win in branch intensive operations ust so you know the 360s cpu can also help out with graphics operations and post processing effects just not as much as the cell because MS focused on putting more power into the gpu

even IBM stated that the cell is better for more things than xenon but that the 360s gpu is "very sophisticated" compared to the ps3s rsx.

Shaman4592d ago

Both consoles HAVE AF, do you know how crappy would textures, half feet from you look like if there was no AF?

And for the last time...BOTH VERSIONS have(infact ALL of them) TILLED BASED DEFERRED SHADING, but PS3 uses SPUs to do it, PC uses GPU with DX11 api and 360 uses Xenos(GPU). Lighting(number of lightsources) should be the same on all platforms, but consoles won't have dynamic global illumination and higher precision HDR.

humbleopinion4591d ago

Wow, that was sad. When you use big words which you don't even understand out of context, at least learn to spell them right. It's DEFERRED shading, not "differed"...

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.

EA can thoughtfully eff themselves.

Report: Sexual Misconduct Investigation Conducted at EA, Suspects Named and What They Did Revealed

EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.

isarai6d ago

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.

Cacabunga5d ago

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

MrBaskerville3d ago (Edited 3d 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.

InUrFoxHole3d 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.

XiNatsuDragnel6d ago (Edited 6d 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.

MrBaskerville3d 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.

ravens525d 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_5d ago

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

MrBaskerville3d ago

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

KwietStorm_BLM5d ago

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

mudakoshaka5d ago

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

NotoriousWhiz5d ago (Edited 5d 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_5d 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.
