PS3 Underdelivers Again - FarCry 2 Gimped?

After all this hullabaloo about how the PlayStation 3 is the only "true" HD console, here comes the release of FarCry 2 to slap Sony's PR in the balls. In addition to people complaining about the messed-up widescreen and mandatory 3.5GB install, the PS3 version falls short of its Xbox 360 counterpart by only supporting 720p while the 360 version supports full 1080p.

Ripten noticed this themselves just by looking at the back of the case for the game, a photo of which they've conveniently provided for you:

Updates:

Ripten has updated the story with the following:

It is also worth noting that in a recent IGN head-to-head comparison of the game, the reviewer had the following to say regarding the differences:

“The only real differences are the PS3’s occasional framerate hitches and the dropping of some sound effects during hectic gunfights. These issues don’t really hurt the experience in any major way, but will be a minor irritation for some. If you’re at all interested in shooters, Far Cry 2 is an experience you will enjoy on any console. If you have the luxury of choice, the 360 version runs just a little bit more smoothly.”

OVERALL:
1st = PC
2nd = 360
3rd = PS3

Translation: gimped?

@elsh,

Please humor me and show me this confirmation you speak of?

@No Pudding,

If the PS3 version could support 1080 like the 360, why not say so on the box? They say this on the box for the PS3 version of FaceBreaker.

Look, I own both consoles and I haven't bought a game for my 360 in over 3 months because I refuse to play the damn thing until they fix all the hardware issues. That aside, I see no reason why (if they can do it) that they don't label the box such

1.6 - Fox01

no, thats what happens when you don't port from PC to PS3, instead porting from PC to 360. After 2 years, AFTER 2 YEARS of PS3 Developers stating to other Developers that the only way to develop on PS3 is to make PS3 lead or port from PC>PS3>360, Developers refuse to do so and these are the consequences.

This is why EA got S**ted on by PS3 gamers last year. if Multiplatform games like Dead Space and Burnout Perform equally on both consoles, why dont developers see that and go that route? Even Factor 5 stated this when they were developing for PS3 with Lair.

And BTW Farcry 2 on consoles is 720p native. the 360 version upscales it to 1080p. the PS3 can upscale to 1080p as well, but this is an example of "lazy Developers" who just wants to make a quick buck on what they are doing, and not completing the job on making the game better on that platform.

Burnout Paradise was a game that got patched recently to allow PS3 upscaling to 1080p. its not that hard to develop on the PS3 if you develop on that platform first or port it from the PC version. Devil May Cry 4 was PC lead BTW, and look how the PS3 version compares to the 360 version, the PS3 version was superior to the 360 version. so as i said before, WHY SO LAZY?

And Ripten the idiots strike again! Far Cry 2 runs at 720p native for both console versions. 1080p upscaled is not true 1080p. Please get your facts straight.

Halo 3 supported 1080p. What was the true resolution for that one? 640p. I'm not surprised to see Twizlex post something as idiotic as this. Everyone at Ripten is brainless.

1.14 - The real problem is a lack of a hardware upscaler

As the previous posters have mentioned, the game is upscaled by the 360's HANA hardware upscaler. Whey they don't have an upscaler in the PS3 is beyond me. I have a cheap 1080p set and I rely on the upscaler in my systems, so I do notice a difference between my PS3 and 360.

The weird part is that the PS3 has one awesome upscaler for DVDs, it must be software based. Either way it makes the 360's DVD upscaler look like crap in comparison. Since my inexpensive LCD HDTV isn't up to the job I end up buying most multi-platform games for the 360, which is a shame because the PS3 is so reliable and such a beautiful system with a beautiful interface (XMB).

Real Gambler - 427 days 2 hours ago

1.32 - Ripten is only looking for hits, so they will publish anything stupid for that.

But the true fault belong to Microsoft. They use the fact that most kids do not know the difference between native and upscaled resolution, so they put upscale resolution on all their games. Even worst than that, many HDTV do better upscaling than the XBOX itself, so if these kids ever buy a good hdtv, they are screwed because they will let the 360 do the upscaling instead of their TV, which is really sad. They could get a better picture by trusting their tv and they don't know about it.

As far as the real native resolution goes, I would wait for the expert to come up with it. So far Quaz51, who's usually a reference is claiming that the PS3 is 1080p (but not 1920X1080P, only 960X1080P so Sony could not put 1080P on the box since it's not TRUE 1080P) and is also confirming that the 360 version is only 720P. Still, this is not official yet, so I would wait before you or me make a fool of ourselves.

PS3 version runs at a higher resolution according to Beyond3d's Quaz51 (respected by both "sides" of the console war).

Far Cry 2 on

PS3: 1.04M pixels/frame (960x1080)
360: 9.22M pixels/frame (1280x720)

They both have upscaled 1080P output but neither is true native 1080P.

so does that mean every game thats 720p on 360 is gimped cause hdmi 1.2 doesnt support it? XD

or does that mean if you only have a 720p t.v. all your 360 games are gimped cause hdmi 1.2 doesn't support it?? XD

2.1 - BS

you can get up to 1080p (including 720p) on component and even VGA.

it's up to your TV whether or not it accepts it.

edit:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

among the minor revisions stated in the hdmi 1.3/1.3a spec, it's the support for X-HD resolutions that 1.2 doesn't have. but i don't think we'll see either console actually utilize those anytime soon:) and it's getting even harder to find 1080p games on BOTH consoles, since resolution is often the FIRST thing developers cut back on to make their games bigger or better somehow.

hdmi 1.3 (ps3's) supports 720i, 720p, 1080i, 1080p etc. all native without being down scaled.

2.3 - Lack of 1080i/p support sucks in my case, because...

Far Cry 2 on PS3 effed me personally up the as*, because it doesn't support 1080i/p (upscaled) output. My TV is slightly older-generation, made by SONY in fact, and doesn't support 720p. Therefore, I'm forced to play FC2 and many other PS3 games downscaled to 480p. :(

I just wish so much that the PS3 had an internal hardware scaler that can do 1080i/p (upscaled) for every game like the 360 does.

Oh noez! There they go again trying to be bigger than they're not. Apparently Microsoft has the smarter packaging designer. Maybe Sony should hire him as well.

Edit: I am staring at the packing for the PS3 version for FaceBreaker, and the back reads 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. So the assumption that is a Sony guideline of sorts is false.

In other words, FaceBreaker on the PS3 supports not only 1080i but 1080p.

This is like how they did it with MGS4/Halo 3/and various other games... The game most likely doesn't support "native" 1080P, but does have the option of using "upscaled" 1080P.

I thought that the developers already stated that the game was made to be at 720P, but not to the "golden standard" or 60FPS.

Nostradavis, you are sounding like a massive fanboy here. I thought you made some smart posts in the past, but today is not your day. You know the difference between native and upscaling resolutions. The 360 can upscale much more easily than the PS3. Apparently, Ubi didn't want to put in the effort to include software upscaling with the PS3 version. But that does not make the PS3 version gimped.

Point taken...

^-^ I guess the only way to get to the truth behind this matter is to get an actual "pixel count" of each version of the game.

Although it won't really matter since the PS3 is gimped in more ways than just the supposed resolution difference according to IGN Insider's "Head-2-Head" (I would post the link, but you need to have an "insider" account to actually look at the article.) states that:

"[T]he 360 version runs just a little bit more smoothly" when compared to it's PS3 counterpart despite the 3.5GB mandatory install.

EDIT ADDED: As well as "[t]he PS3 version of the game was prone to a bit more hitching. During one story sequence the visuals froze for 2-3 seconds while the characters kept talking. I experienced some half-second hitches out in the world as well, usually when driving quickly or moving into new areas that needed to be streamed in."

And even "PS3 version was prone to dropping some sound effects in the middle of big gunfights. Sometimes there wouldn't be any sound for my gunfire if there were a lot of enemies on screen or there had just been a big explosion. This happened in the 360 version as well, but much less frequently in my experience."

^-^ Of course they stated that the PC version is the best looking on of the bunch (...obviously) although I think that the DRM implementation is stupid. But hey!! At least it's $10 USD cheaper than the console versions.

Smoothly is subjective tbh. How do you define smoothness? How can you compare smoothness when the difference is so low?

-edit- Wow, those differences aren't really that big of a deal, so I don't think you added ammunition. But, man, IGN really has a sh!t load of time to comb over every little detail for differences. And again, some of those differences are subjective.

News update from the site.

"UPDATE: Some articles about FarCry 2’s resolution have been brought to my attention, but upon reviewing them, I don’t think anything has changed. Articles mentioning the native resolution of the game, on PS3 and 360, as being 720p are only talking about the native resolution, and I made no mention of native resolutions. It is irrelevant. Yes, both consoles run the game at 720p native resolution. The 360 can upscale it to 1080p, but the PS3 does not do so naturally. While it may be possible to “trick” your PS3 into outputting in 1080p, the game itself does not actively support it. Many PS3 games that I have seen clearly show that they support 1080p, not necessarily natively, on the back of the box — FarCry 2 is not one of them.

I find it odd that if the PS3 could support 1080p on all games that it is not mentioned on the game’s case. Requiring customers to resort to some backdoor trick to achieve what is supposed to be built in to the console and that other games (on both 360 and PS3) more clearly support — it’s ridiculous.

I explicitly said that the game likely plays just as well, so I don’t know what the fuss is about. Sony has clearly done it’s job convincing some people that the PS3 is obviously superior, but I’m still left wondering why they wouldn’t help advertise that on the games themselves."

No were moving on.MGS4 comes out and destroys your lineup and the xbots deny.LBP comes out,xbots deny,Resistance 2 comes out,xbots deny etc.Catch my drift? Meaning the PS3 can outsell the 360 1000 times over,have 40 AAA games and the xbots will deny because they are what they are:xbots.You tools will be will support 360 until M$ scraps it in 2010.This isn't about proving the PS3 is better or whatever.This is about your delusions and the BS Microsoft is giving to people.

The 360 doesn't have any good exclusive games anymore.Cod4 destroyed Halo 3,Tears of Bore is unworthy of a story or innovation in gaming,I bought Fable 2 and NG2,definitely not AAA games and full of glitches.Your time is running out xbots.You can only rely on multiplatform games for a few more weeks

Nope

PS3 has 26 games at 1080p native

PS3 has more games at 1080p than 360 but its not 26.I can think of Wipeout HD,GT5:Prologue,Ninja Gaiden and confirmed through Level 5,White Knight Chronicles

Sorry thats about it.

360 has Virtua Tennis and some other flops

Last time I checked the 360 had SIXTEEN games rated 90%+ on metacritic
compared to ps3 having a measly SIX!!!

I know, it must be hard to see the mighty playstation brand consitenly PWNED by the 360!! Just look at the highest rated games this gen..... GTA4, BIOSHOCK, HL2,.... ALL superior on the 360, and Fallout 3 will be on that list shortly.

blowing every game ever made on the 360 away. Yeah thats what I'm talking about. Until then, I have So com and resistance 2 which is coming out soon to play. I just picked up Far Cry 2 today and it plays and looks just fine. Although Killzone 2, will make this game and all the other 360's AAA games look like shat. Not that all of Sonys first party game don't that already, but Killzone 2 will be the icing on the cake. Dream on Microsoft, play beyond Sony!!!!

everyday, ps3 owners are sh1tted upon.
i'm actually starting to feel sorry for your guys......NOT(in my best Borat impersonation)

It's like every week there are more and more negative about the ps3...
- first 360 gets FF and MS steals the Tokyo game show,
- then COD5 beta only comes to the 360
- then we hear their biggest exclusive, MGS4 is coming to the 360,
- the demo for Endwar only on 360
- then ps3 gets the Biosh1t version of Bioshock,
- then Legendary turns into a timed exclusive on the 360,
- Motorstorm 2 is a Motorflop
- then their's the fact that one of PS biggest franchises, SOCOM is released and it's is a broken game that let down the loyal SOCOM fanbase,
- LBP gets delayed
- and who can forget that the 360 is not only selling more than the ps3 worldwide, but it beat the ps3 in it's homeland for SEVEN weeks straight!
- Far Cry 2 has a HUGE mandatory install
- Fallout three looks like "rubbish" on ps3 compared to the 360 version..
- No DLC or demo for ps3 version of Tomb Raider

- and now this? DAMN!! WTF!!

SDF activate!! hahaha.......

I am feeling bad for you guys...

Again, if any of you SDF just want to 'talk' and have a good cry... just PM me. I don't mind being a supportive shoulder for you to cry on. Heaven forbid you guys get so depressed that.... *shudders*

PS3 - 28 native 1080p games

360 - 3 native 1080p games...not upscaled...

On the upside, it has 35 non-native 1080p games...

Also, I was wondering if you got a chance to see those new Killzone 2 Beta clips. I mean...when you have the time...check 'em out.
