GameBlurb writes, "Our Versus feature pits screenshots of cross platform titles against each other and you the viewer will decide the outcome! It’s PlayStation 3 vs Xbox 360 and the game that’s going to square off is the demo of EA’s Need For Speed: The Run. Which will emerge victorious? Or will the battle end in a wash?"

Wow...these visuals are a bit lackluster for being Frostbite 2. And what's up with the PS3 version running in letterbox? It handled BF3 just fine.

badz1494582d ago

what have they turned the NFS series into? avalanche? falling rocks? WTF?

Redempteur4582d ago

The graphics of the demo were horrible. The graphics of the BF3 beta were horrible on my Xbox. The final games graphics were much better with the texture pack installed. I mean in the demo in the snow race, the graphics were worse than black ops.

Bereaver4582d ago

Well, there's usually a big difference between beta and demo. Or they wouldn't label them differently.

ironfist924582d ago

I dont really care about the graphics, however they really need to fix the controls and the handling of the cars. Terrible demo imo, very dissapointing. Does nothing for me save for wanting to play Hot Pursuit again.

Seems like a mixed bag. Ps3 seems to have better textures off in the distance while the 360 has better textures up close. The ps3 versions AA has better edge smoothing but the application isn't as consistent as the 360's.

Laxman4582d ago

" ps3 versions AA has better edge smoothing "

You're kidding right?

Oldman1004582d ago (Edited 4582d ago )

What i mean is that they are both using slightly different AA implementations than each other (MLAA vs FXAA). And ps3's implementation (MLAA) does a slightly better job at smoothing edges when applied right. Also, a somewhat related note, one of the side effects of FXAA is that it blurs the entire image (just slightly), which you can witness in some of the screens in this comparison. Take a look at battlefield 3, which uses the same engine.

mike_d_4582d ago

Both games are the same except PS3 version is shall i say a little shittier looking than the 360 version.There isnt that much of a graphical difference to affect anything gameplay-wise.Something that minor has no affect on how the game plays.

Most wanted 2012 imo was awful, on PS3 the graphics are dreadful, and the crash cam was very annoying. Rival is the worst imo, hated that game. My favourite is Hot Pursuit, great game. Also Shift 1&2 are really good.

OnlyThoseOnTheFence1742d ago

High Stakes will always be my favorite. Great cars, great music, and you could see through the windows which was pretty mind-blowing at the time. Best of all it was ricer-free.

steven83r1742d ago

Lame. The list doesn't even include any of the originals. NFS 1 and NFS hot Pursuit 1998. Must be a youngster who created the list.

CYALTR1741d ago

He clearly stated that being this was an Xbox centered site he was going to limit his list to games that released on some form of Xbox. He also stated he had been playing them since OG PLaystation, so pretty sure he's not a "youngster"

Retroman1742d ago (Edited 1742d ago )

From my personal experience NFS I personally don't like.......
The Worst : Underground 2 , Carbon, Prostreets, Undercover, Porche unleashed, Nitro, NFS World, 2012 Mostwanted, Rivals, 2015 Reboot last but not least Paycrap.
Best NFS I personally like :
All ps1 NFS : HighStakes (the best) including NFS 3 Hotpursuit , ps2 Hotpursuit 2 (Excellent game ) ..Underground ( Best so far)
2005 Mostwanted ( Excellent game) Shift 1/2 (Spectacular) remind me of GT , 2010 Hotpursuit Great game but race Waaaaaaay to long in my personal opinion . Last but not least The Run . these are my favorite NFS titles .
After The Run in my personal opinion NFS went down hill fast with Open world mapping crap, always online, multiplayer crap, alldrive, drifting in every freaking corners, no gripping anymore,autolog. None of this crapfest is NFS original formula. until Ea contract Ghost Games to return the original formula back in NFS it will always be Shitty game.

Plenty of them that does VO for video games and animated films like batman movies.

GigawattConduit2973d ago

Huh, didn't know Steve Carrell did video games. That feels just so weird. Already knew Magneto was in Fable 3, but it took me a while to place him.

Burnout Paradise, enough said.

Revenge is better any day, shame the online is as dead as a dodo :(

pop_tarts3508d ago

Have to agree with Matt here

Rebel_Scum3508d ago (Edited 3508d ago )

Wow 4/5 games listed are Need for Speed games. Nice variety...not.

Personally I would add Daytona USA. When that was released on xbox live there was a fairly decent community playing this game.
