Dynasty Warriors 6: PS3 Vs Xbox 360 Comparison

Who will dominate this raging battlefield?

[MK_Red]

Well, in my eyes both versions look terrible. Seriously, N3 looked a million times better and was way more innovative. Of course, N3 didn't sell and critics killed because they found it non-innovative and repetitive. But when it comes to DW6, not only the lack of innovation and being badly repetitve and shallow doesn't hurt and game gets 7s and 8s... talk about bias.

[poos3]

DAMN WHEN will japanese devs get into this gen all their games I REPEAT ALL japanese game devs except TEAM NINja LOOK like garbage last gen game in this

[The Killer]

the colors of the ps3 is like a bit whitey or washed out, but we all know this is because of the wrong settings like they did with Assassin's Creed!

@WhiteElite360

i was talking about the graphics and settings not framerate and other issues, i wont argue which version is better but i said about the colors of the screen. and i think the settings of ps3 is not set to the best!!

[GUNS N SWORDS]

but what about the 4 other people who made there 360 vs ps3 comparisons.

they were just contrast problems as well.

also ign, GameTrailers, Eurogamer, and gamersyde states in there articles that assassins creed for ps3 had more than just contrast problems it had frame rate problems.

Eurogamer-
While the 360 game drops the odd frame here and there, by and large it's refreshing at a steady 30fps. Not so with PS3 where even the most basic action on-screen sends the refresh rate tumbling dramatically.

IGN-
Graphics
The word is beautiful except for the pop-in and troublesome framerate issues. The animations are top-notch, but tough to enjoy with slowdown.

gamersyde-
Since some people have claimed that the retail PS3 version ran far better than the review one, I went and bought it to make sure I didn't unfairly compare both versions. So I've done another comparison video, and you'll notice that the end result is still the same.

GameTrailers-
http://www.gametrailers.com...

[InMyOpinion]

^^^ How come Sony's did not make the best settings on the PS3 default. Sounds stupid to me.

Mass Effect looks much better with the grain filter turned off, haven't seen any articles/reviewers commenting on that.

[GUNS N SWORDS]

mass effect looks better with film grain off, plus the intro slows down quite a few times with it on.

no one will comment on it be cause it's optional from the start which is a great thing.

[Kleptic]

PooS3...what are you talking about?

FFX and XII, as well as MGS2 and MGS3 were by far some of the best looking games of last generation at their respective release dates...as well as NG/B...

and MGS4 and FFXIII are shaping up to do the exact same thing this generation...

but DW6...if its true that the PS3 version has a cruddy framerate...yaayyy...the 360 gets yet another superior version of a crap game...the game looks like dump on both systems...

[niall77]

I never understand why they dont.

[n_n]

RGB Full does wonders for the contrast... like night and day

[General Pinky]

Just say it...the PS3 version looks like sh**
Come on...Sony did it again...lying to you man. First with PS3 graphics and then Kill Zone in E3 2005 and lets not forget the games (which is the most important thing)

Plz just say it...then i will say 360 got a hardware problem....ROD

[SlappyMcTaint]

..General pinky out of your a$$. This comparison looks identical -only the PS3 is washed out because GT is too retarded to turn RGB Full on.

Go away you pathetic xbot -keep suckling on M$'s t1tty.. keep drinking the kool-aid, lemming.

[Daytona]

C'mon, you know that's not it, also the game sucks period but still most ps3 games suck unless there done over a period of years like your few decent games have been.

I'm not bashing the ps3, it's just the same ya know you have to use all the features of cell to get a decent game.

[SeanScythe]

another case of them not turning on Full for the RGB setting on the ps3. We've already seen the differance it makes on AC. So unless they say this is turned on then the color contrast can't be a deciding factor anymore.

[MK_Red]

Sure it does a lot of difference but does it matter here in video of a ugly looking game like DW6? Seriously, some Wii games look better than this. The only good thing here IMO is that DW6 looks better than horribly ugly Bladestorm.

[Sevir04]

it's as i've said, koei has lost it's handle on gaming all together. the crap they've been spewing out left right and center on both platform is eveident. DW Gundam, fatal inertia, Bladestorm, and the rehash year after year Dynasty warriors one with "next gen graphics" they seriously need to just turn over and just die, They suck... better yet they should stick to releasing there games in japan only. cause only japan likes those games...

[abuze]

O.K. THATS IT! Stupid comparison. It seems like every gametrailer comparison, PS3 version is always the worst... But on my PS3 and my HDTV and every game I put on my system, they never look blurry or washed out like gametrailer's PS3 -vs- 360 videos. If any of my games looked like all those bad PS3 videos, I would Not be playing them right now... Stuped, stupid Gametrailers...

[davez82]

it looks exactly the same, hell even if this game was on the wii it would still look the same, the graphics are just not that impressive.

[MK_Red]

Finally, thougth I was the only that felt DW6 graphics look Wii-ish and not PS3/360 worthy.

[Lotto]

The game isnt about GFX if you compare DW2 and DW5 Then DW5 will only look a bit better. Its not a next gen game and its not trying to be it

[Relcom]

I cant tell the difference. Seriously guys if you want innovation quit buying it and send a message to the devs. I bought 2 Dynasty warriors 3 and 4. After i got 4 i quickly realized That they just switched names of people and added more characters.

Don't support mediocrity, and repetitive gameplay. Its a step back instead of a step forward.

[Lotto]

I got all DW games except for the first one which was a fighting game for the PS1. Why the hate ? PPL should know that nothing changes in these games.KOEI dont promise innovative of any kind they dont say sh!t about good GFX but the games still sell farly well so some PPL must like the games and im one of those. If you dont like the game because its repetitive or whatever dont buy it

[titntin]

People on this site have no idea at all do they? For once the gameplay in this title IS varied from its predecessors. Lets take a quote:

This installment varies greatly from past games in the series. The player is able to make their character swim, climb, control rowboats, destroy walls, and pull off "unlimited combos" with the use of the new "renbu" system.

None of this will matter a jot if you've never liked the game, but there are many thousands who do who will thouroughly enjoy it.

[MK_Red]

A great comment as always. I can't disagree with any one of your points.
And people should indeed stop buying mediocre games like this.

[Lotto]

Why should the fans of the DW series stop buying a game they like ? just because you and many others dont like doesn't mean that ppl shouldet buy it.

[titntin]

@MK_Red
Why don't you just give it rest??? eh? You've made the same comment over and over and over again like a stuck record. Say your piece then shut the hell up will you?
Like it or loath it DW is an important PS3 franchise that shifted a huge amount of units at Jap release and has a huge amount of support in the west too. Its was an extremely important release in its home market and was very well recieved.
Yes its repititive button mashing. So what? People enjoy that. I enjoy that. Its absolutelty no different to the countless FPS clones constantly churned out by western developers. What makes them different? 'Well I get to shoot people in the head with a DIFFERENT weapon, dont I!'
Don't like it - fine, don't buy it. But a lot of people will buy it and enjoy it to. I'll be one of them.

[MK_Red]

No need to be angry friend. This comment was meant to be reply to Relcom's comment.
Also, those cloned and mediocre FPS games deserve the same bash and attack. As for war games like, DW, I did love it back in early PS2 years but why hasn't this franchise evolved? I mean, you and all those people that keep buying it again and again just help Koei so they don't have to try harder. And my other problem is that people say DW rules but N3 was garbage while in gameplay they are no different.

But you have a point and many indeed like the series and I respect their opinion even though I completely disagree. They deserve better, any gamer deserves better.

[titntin]

You are simply too lazy to be bothered to check if anything has changed aren't you? There are extremely significant changes to this title that make it play differently to the previous iterations, but you simply assume theres not, because its still a hack n slash.

I'll quote again:
This installment varies greatly from past games in the series. The player is able to make their character swim, climb, control rowboats, destroy walls, and pull off "unlimited combos" with the use of the new "renbu" system
Whilst this may not seem huge for an outsider, anyone who likes these games and has played a few of them will know that these changes will have a big impact on how you approech the battlefield and the feeling of greater involvement.

[LastDance]

I agree with MK on this one.. I own DW 2 3 4 5 and i do enjoy them.
But I wish they would do a massive face lift on the game do something drastic(like make it more realistic for EG). I enjoy the characters throughly but i wish they would do more then change the costumes each instalment.

The improvments theyve made over the instalments should have been made between 2 games. The series definatly needed to take a big leap.

[Dpa]

Its Lu Bu!!!
What a badass, i hope they put a demo for this out on XBL or PSN because i really want to try before i buy, last DW i bought was 4.

[aggh im on fire]

This game is garbage. It's like comparing one lump of excrement to another.

[2 cents]

There`s not enough differnce to say who`s better, but it does look incredibly bad on both, but why do i have a feeling that xbots will claim that it looks better on theyr system?
I`ll call you morrons in advance.

[jaja1434]

You could have just changed the contrast on the PSV version to match the 360 and I never would have know they where different videos.

[aceman7]

I'm not going to argue about this mediocre game.

[fenderputty]

It could look immensely better one one version over the other and I don't think fanboys would be chalking this up as a win. The game is doggy excrement.

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

Sales wise DW6 on PS3 crush X360.

Why? JAPAN!

[heyheyhey]

yeah lol japan go crazy over DW games

the west? a bit but not so much although it does look kinda interesting, but yakuza 3 is my japanese fighting game of choice

[heyheyhey]

as usual the lighting on the ps3 is better

also some of the textures on the ps3 are better but i suspect thats just because they had to dump some texture quality on the 360 version to fit it on dvd- hey im not hating im just saying

[power of Green]

Washed out color and contrast differences jump out at you but then when the charactor is climbing the latter the brick shows greater detail in the 360 version. Also look at the ground after the charactor leaves the latter and get on the top.

[Hellgiver]

I would like them to put out some online for it. I love DW, but only have DW5: Empires and DW5 for PS2. I played past ones at a friend's house. If you don't like the game or find it too repetitive you don't have to play it, but I still love it. Most of my favorite games involve you being able to level up and having multiple weapons and such, and this game adds in so many characters to choose to play as. I will probably always play DW. It is probably because of the huge huge replay value of the game and the fact that it has a leveling system that I enjoy so much, which I find in so many games (e.g. Diablo 2-like games or DMC). Regardless of the way any of you might feel, the replay value of this game is tremendous, and that is justification enough for me to get it.

I do wish, however, that they'd do a much bigger overhaul on the graphics and make everything play a bit smoother. DW5: Empires really looked like it could have gone on Xbox original. However, DW6 looks like it is at least SOME improvement. You guys are right, however, that it isn't nearly as impressive looking as many games out there, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be played by given a chance by people who enjoy the genre.

[Chaos Striker]

I agree with most everyone that the gameplay is repetitive and mediocre, but I think people are overlooking the other aspect of the game, which is its historical context. Similar to how westerners love WW2 games (until recently with Modern Warfare and such), most Asians ignore the gameplay and focus on the fact that you can assume control of historical figures in that time period. That's my opinion on why these games keep coming, but I do hope that some changes are made to make the gameplay more interesting.

**lol I definitely see your point, lets hope that Koei actually gets a clue of how these games should be like...next time around? (dare I say xD).

[MK_Red]

While I agree that westerners do love WW2 games, I believe they actually do care about gameplay and graphics. Look how Hour of Victory bombed. And really successfull WW2 titles were all great games like COD2 and BIA which got 9s and 8s and had incredible gameplay variety and sharp graphics.
And in market of war games like DW6, there was a 360 game called N3 which had far better graphics, an actually new story instead of retelling the same thing for the 1000th like DW and was more fun. Same goes for Capcom's PS2 title, Devil Kings but they all failed while DW kept selling and getting decent scores that it didn't deserve :(

[Shankle]

I haven't played a Dynasty Warriors game since the original on the PS1. Have I missed much?

[MK_Red]

Nothing. Sure the DW fans will tell you how much the game has changed but everytime I try a new DW, I don't see any real difference. Most additions feel like light mods and nothing more over DW2 to DW5. Graphically things are even worse. Sure, DW6 looks finally better than previous DW (Something that can't be said about DW2-5) but it still looks like an original Xbox game.
Plus, the insanely shallow and repetitive feel of game hasn't changed a bit.

[skagrerrrr]

game sux

[power of Green]

When you stop it when the camera is showing the guys ROBE(the dude with his back turned to the camera) you can clearly see the PS3 isn't able to display full HD color as the 360 does, the proof is in every game.

The game does look bad but why is it when 360 and PS3 fanboys know their console lost the battle games suck by default as a result of the comparison.(PS3 fans do it the most).

[Covenant]

It's like the screen comparisons for Beowulf on PS3 and 360...does it matter when the game's this bad?

[MK_Red]

True but at least that game had some decent graphics while this...

[craymoogy]

I have the ps3 version, and the game looks better than that. I don't know why it looks like $hit from gametrailer, but the game looks better than what they showed.

i think my ps3's version looks better than the 360's version they show.

[Hellgiver]

Well, if you can't believe that what they show is the true PS3 look of DW6, then you really can't compare what you personally see on your actual PS3 version of the game against their showing of a 360 version.

[power of Green]

All games look better in life. No doubt both these games look better at home. Pics are to give an general idea of what something looks like their online quality isn't full-proof. The differences are real and still remain despite both games looking better in life. lol

[THUNDERMARE]

They forget to turn on RBG to full, that's the reason why many comparison look wash out in PS3. The PS3 version will look the same as the 360 version if RBG turn to full

[craymoogy]

well, I've played both versions, and I have the ps3 version.

all I can you is that that ps3 version of the game is not like that at all. in addition, the 360 looks a bit different than what they showed you. maybe they have upgraded they graphics somehow but the 360 isn't as good as the ps3.

anyway, the game is a big disappointment.

[Bleucrunch]

Hopefully they do some polish to this game because I love this series. It tested the limits of the consoles it goes on, Bravo Koei Bravo!

[TheXgamerLive]

Both version kinda suck, I mean did they really think people were going to jump on this?

This better release for 39.99 if it's going to sell.

Developers should stop as soon as they see a games looking so wishy washy and revamp or trash it.

[picker332]

At first i thought i was linked to a ps2 vid,it's not...Right?

[solar]

and here we go with GT throwing more fuel on the console war flame. ::rolleyes::

[ELite_Ghost]

neither will dominate!

[TwissT]

Does it really matter which looks better? the game it self is utter crap, it's like comparing dog crap to cow crap, one may look better but the truth is its still crap.

[Tarmgar]

I'm die hard Dynasty Warriors fan. I WANT NOOOOOOOW!

[titntin]

Hooray! Your not the only one :) Silence the damnned naysayers!
As a fan you'll be interested to know just how much the game has evolved- despite the uninformed in this thread suggesting otherwise.

Not only can you swim, climb, control rowboats, destroy walls, and pull off "unlimited combos", but dueling has returned (from DW4)!
To quote:
Duels will take place on the battlefield and the nearby soldiers will circle around the two fighters, instead of the duel taking place on a suddenly appearing plain. The A.I. is also enhanced: enemies are able to adapt to the players actions, i.e. if the player continually attacks enemies from behind, they will adapt to this and attempt to avoid the player's attacks. Wild animals such as wolves and tigers are also in the game, and can attack the character or on some occasions, become allies. Sneak attacks and ambushes are implemented, as well as the increased importance of strongholds.

Obviously this game will always be an aquired taste, but a lot of people love it.

[thatdude]

never played Dynasty warriors for the graphics. i just wanna kill 100s of men, get 100% and hear the cheesie voice overs reminds me of old kung fu movies

the graphics have got better, i can't wait to see they re did the characters

[RecSpec]

I'm a huge DW fan and I might just rent this one, they changed everyone, but took 7 people out, most notably Jiang Wei and the Nanmans. Some peoples weapons have changed and a lot of people have clone move sets (Zhen Ji and Diao Chan, who use whips) This doesn't seem to be worth 60 comments.

I laugh at all the people who are arguing over the GRAPHICS in a DW game. The console war never fails to amuse me.

[Leathersoup]

...someone will actually review how the game plays and compare it to how it looks on a different console. Seriously, when it comes to the bottom line, the appearance of the game will only slightly affect how it plays. As long as they get most of the detail and lighting done correctly and the frame rate is in an acceptable range the matter of how the game plays is what will count.
All that these articles are doing are feeding the insecurities of those to whom the game itself doesn't even matter and I am, for one sick of it. I don't want to see freaking comparisons between graphics. I come to this site to get NEWS on games. I want to know how a game plays. Will it be worth the price the company is asking.

[zonetrooper5]

Wow, graphically this game is crap on both consoles. Its basically Xbox 1 graphics but with lots of bloom, horrible, horrible bloom. My EYEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.......

[gnothe1]

here we go again with these THE RGB ISNT TURNED ON bullcrap. does the RGB have anything to do with the TEXTURES NO. come on i dont wanna be nitpicky here but you can see the SMALL differences in detail on the 360 version. look at the texture of the bricks the wood the walls. its the excuses I dont like. instead of giving the 360 its props an saying its just as powerful as the PS3 you guys write off the game as crap.the game is crap, the RGB isnt turned on. why do you have to make excuses for the PS3 short comings. if this happened once in awhile then fine but this is how amlost EVERY comparison looks. you said the same thing about AC that the RGB wasnt turned on thats why it looks washed out but what about the textures, COD4 same thing, stop make up excuses an accept things for what they are!!

[djroberts]

Textures are made up of pixels which have color ranges so yes, RGB has a lot do do with how good the textures look. The RGB range affects the color for the entire scene.

[khellendros1]

Looks like they forgot to set the RGB to full on the PS3. Other than that they look the same. The graphics still looks bad though.

[richie007bond]

LMAO looks another one RGB.RGB.RGB.RGB

[ParaDise_LosT]

Ps3Fan:Hey My turd has more vibrant colors than your turd!

Xbox360Fan:Well My turd has better AI, look at it crumble.....so smart like...

[richie007bond]

Ok the 360 version looks better,end of story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!anyone who says otherwise is a pathetic drone...ok enough said lets move on now,theres nothing more to see here

[richie007bond]

RGB.RGF.RGF.RGB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!COME ON DRONES give it a fooking rest..RGB.RGB.RGB.RGB.RGB....D RONES EXCUSE....360 LOOKS BETTER.Get the fook over it and move on!!!!!!

[djroberts]

I wouldn't pay much attention to this comparison. It was done by Gametrailers and we've already scene past comparisons where they had the PS3 incorrectly setup, ala Assassin's Creed. They fail to put it in RGB=Full mode but rather use RGB=Limited.

[tk]

They did not turn on the RGB full on purpose. They knew - at least after Assassins Creed they have been told many times.

Just another reason to not take notice of some of these so-called reviews and comparisons.

My kids love Dynasty Warriors. Will get this game for the PS3.

[Treon]

just because you guys looked at some pathetic trailer in low res, most of you say how much it sucks and how mediocre it is blah blah blah. get a hike man. i've completed the japanese release for the ps3 and it looks perfectly great like how a next gen game should look like.

[moujahed]

Rather you have the 360, or PS3 version. Your a got-damned fool for buying this horse-sh!t.
