The Real HD DMC4 Console Comparison: Motion Blur In PS3 Version

Ripten's Patrick Steen writes:

"Any differences shown in screenshot comparisons can lead the uninformed to tout one version as superior to the other. This is the real Devil May Cry 4 screenshot comparison with lossless HD captures. What they show is that informed difference only cement how very alike both versions are."

[predator]

why cant people leave it that they are both great and that capcom have done a great job.

Yet this comparison is not the real one either, both consoles should be hooked up via HDMI then you will see no difference at all between them.

Though i do not like how sony make you mess around with the settings to get the best out of it.

Any how great job and great game to Capcom on both consoles. I look forward to resi 5.

[Cryxen]

people can't leave it because Sony fans feel they deserve a better port as their machine is more powerful.

Xbox fans won't leave it because they don't want their console to lose steam and become another xbox1 or dreamcast.

[techie]

I think you'll find that this comparison concludes similarily to your view. Both are great. The Motion Blur explains the a difference in still images though...we didn't know that before.

[predator]

@Deep: exactly, but it would be interesting to see both hooked up via HDMI but then dont say which version is which. that will prove there is no difference when people cant tell which one is which.

[masterg]

We need this because we were shown photos yesterday that told a different story.

Here are the facts from this article:
1. The texture resolutions are the same on both consoles.
2. The Xbox 360 image is also slightly over-sharp.
3. Both versions have 2xAA (gets rid of “jaggies” on the edges of objects)
4. You’ll notice an edge without AA on the Xbox 360 more than on the PS3.
5. PS3 version has motion blur, which should not be mistake for lower-resolution textures.

[techie]

I'm not sure - that would of course help. There is no difference between texture resolutions. Sharpness difference through component, which is solved with HDMI. But the motion blur will still make still images look slightly different.

[Toxic Shock]

It is instances like this that show how the true power of the PS3 and the Cell chip. Looks amazing and plays great on my new DS3. Love the demo.

[Cryxen]

Thanks for proving my point about Xbots being scared about their machine losing steam lol

[dktxx2]

If you can not comprehend that the cell is more powerful than the triple-core, you are obviously an idiot. Just look past your fanboy nature, and you'll see it. How you guys can actually doubt which system is stronger is amazing.

[TheTwelve]

Hey, you can't be uninformed due to the propaganda from fanboys on the internet. This is the first educated and fair look at the game for both consoles.

Capcom would never ALLOW the Xbox version to look inferior to the PS3 version. They love Microsoft.

This is why I was pissed when they made this game multi-console, because the full power of the PS3 wouldn't be used.

I'm only buying this game for the PS3 because some kids I know in church want to play it. Normally, I wouldn't waste my time with Capcom nowadays...

[millertime8306]

You hit the nail on the head, my friend :)

[gaffyh]

@1.6 - You should listen to the Criterion podcast that came out last week (I can't remember which one), but they basically said that when they were making Burnout, the gfx card in the 360 is much better than the PS3's gfx, but the PS3 is more powerful overall because the PPUs (Cell) can calculate a lot of data if you combine them with the GPU.

And if you can't believe that there is something wrong with you, a multi-platform game developer has said that the PS3 is more powerful, and it is unbelievably obvious that it is.

Regarding the comparison, 360 version looks much better, but some of the textures look oversharpened, the point about the jaggies is correct though, they are a little more noticable on the 360. But the game looks great on both platforms.

I will probably still get this for my PS3 rather than my 360, because DMC was born on the PS2 and the controller is much more suited for the style of game.

[The_Engineer]

"Selling Cell, Hofstee last year gave eight speeches at technical conferences. He and Kahle have visited more than 50 companies, enduring abundant skepticism from jaded industry veterans--until they run their speedy Cell demos. “It’s just amazing to go meet with people who have been in the industry for 25 years and just see their jaws drop,” Kahle says. When a famous chip designer, a veteran of Motorola and Apple, visited Austin for a demo in 2004, Kahle showed him images from the Mount Rainier flyover, eliciting stunned silence. “He just got really quiet,” as he realized “what this is going to do to the industry,” Kahle says. "

"The PlayStation hook inspires confidence at Raytheon, the Waltham, Massachusetts defense contractor, which has studied Cell for 15 months and plans to use it in scores of next-generation systems. “Sonar, infrared sensors--there are hundreds of products that Raytheon designs that could use this type of technology,” says Peter Pao, chief technology officer. “Current chips are going to run out of steam.”"

"
Cell’s creators needed to strike a balance between raw power and the versatility to do more than just play games. Special graphics chips are superspeedy, but for only one task. General-purpose chips like those made by Intel devote a lot of muscle to the ability to handle a wide variety of jobs, but they aren’t superfast at any one of them. For two decades Intel boosted performance by cramming more transistors onto a chip, but now chips draw so much power and generate so much heat that they can’t be cranked up much more. Intel and others boost performance by lashing together two or more thinking elements on a single chip. Intel makes dual-core chips. Sun’s Niagara boasts eight cores. For Microsoft’s Xbox 360, IBM linked three Power cores. !!!!!But even these multicore chips will not be powerful enough to drive the next wave, Kahle argues. Cell needed an entirely new design. "!!!!!

it really is silly to come on here and hear idiotic children talk about how the cell is "not optimized for gaming" " Sony overhyped and underdelivered" when those of us who actually work with this stuff are as giddy as schoolkids about the cell. In 2 years this won't even be an argument anymore. The games running on this beast at that point will leave no doubt that the 360 is a last gen console on steroids.

[meepmoopmeep]

everyone should just sit back, relax and enjoy the accomplishment that capcom has done in making sure that both platforms will see a near identical game in all its glory. i understand that many people, for some reason unknown to me, need to justify their platform or "side". let's just get these games into our machines and enjoy the hard work the developers have done in ensuring that everyone can enjoy a great gaming experience.

[mistertwoturbo]

On the AVS FORUM, i could recall that people said component actually looked better than HDMI for the 360. Doesn't make much sense to me. But if the 360 is already that "sharp" looking through component, then hooked up via HDMI will make it look even more "sharper" making it even more "over sharpened"

But in all honesty people, the differences are just too minimal to even argue. "Slightly" better than one or the other just doesn't really matter. It was the same with COD4. Maybe the 360 was "slightly" better in some areas than the PS3. And the PS3 was "slightly" better than the 360 in other areas. But it came down to one thing. People don't care. It's a great game, with great gameplay, with overall great graphics on both systems, and guess what. 360 or PS3, a great multiplatform game just means more people get to play them. And why cant we just get back to the old days when regardless of what console you play a certain game on, just talk about the actual game.

[The Killer]

finally someone with real brain came here, its so good to talk to normal people, i missed this feeling! this site and all others is just full of BS! people will claim something without knowing it by them selfs! like i will say wii is more powerful than ps3 because i heard it somewhere or because it can handle motion sensing better than ps3 etc!!

so many times i told those fools that cell is a super CPU(very good one i mean) and can do more things at a time etc! but yet those fools come at me and say cell is not designed for general purposes and i ask why is that and they tell me some BS or dont answer!! got what i mean?
this year and next we will start to see the power if the cell and already started with uncharted!

[mikeslemonade]

This is just the comparison for the demo. Both systems have the demo installed in the HDD. Lets wait for the full game to see how the 360 plays in the bigger enviroments and going from room to room.

[i Shank u]

you guys understand, right? if the 360 version looks so identical to the ps3 version that it takes nitpicking to find differences; doesnt that prove to a logical mind that the whole "Power of the PS3" bit is a freaking myth? its not like last gen, when the xbox had 32MB of ram over the ps2 (64 MB in xbox, 32MB in ps2) and splinter cell looked alot better on the xbox; so did max payne, etc. etc. this time, they both have 512MB of ram, and whattaya know; the games are coming out pretty damn identical. and from developers own mouths, it has become common perception that the 360 has the better grphx card, and the ps3 has the stronger processor. so why do some still go on about the power of ps3?

[zambrota]

I warned you all about Aquanox who actually posted both the videos of x360 in VGA/COMPONENT

good news for ps3 owners no doubt

Burnout way better on PS3 (60 fps vs 40 fps,better graphics and FR)

DMC4 way better on PS3(motion blur, cleaner and shinier)

[SlappyMcTaint]

Sorry, but your argument about "Sony making you tweak the settings" is weak.

Why would you invest in a PS3, HDTV and Surround sound and just leave everything at factory settings? That's ludicrous -you have no idea how much better your Receiver will sound if you tweak the settings to your setup. The same goes with your HDTV and PS3.

If you dislike messing with settings then good for you -but don't complain when Sony gives you settings to make your setup even better if you want to. I'd be willing to bet, on an HDMI-equipped 360, the same settings will be available too -just named differently...

[SlappyMcTaint]

No kidding! Well said.

Anyone is an infinite retard if you think 3x 3ghz is = or even better than 8x 3ghz.

[cmrbe]

Stupid. Any milti-plat dev will always try their best to make vesrions of their games equal. If they don't you would see similar case as Madden last year. From what i have seen i can't really tell the difference between the two. Can't we just leave it as is.

[nicholascage24]

dont be fanboyish

I am happy to see ps3 getting the better version but i have both consoles anyway

x360 cannot be compared to ps3 even on HDMI .

Reason -- only some xbox models support upto HDMI 1.2

but

all ps3 models support HDMI 1.3 .everything will look better on 1.3

[s8anicslayer]

being that the game was made for both consoles in mind and the fact that capcom said there wil be no difference between the two, why don't these stupid sites just leave this issue alone, the eye can see what ever your mind wants it to see! and remember "knowing is half the battle"!

[techie]

This motion blur was discovered from close research by Beyond3d technical forum, not by websites only using their eyes. Read the info and you will learn something.

[s8anicslayer]

whoever discovered this useless nonsense you posted doesn't matter its just flame-bait! there lesson learned! thank you!

[HowarthsNJ]

[techie]

Fair enough. But I think the point of this one is to add real technical debate to quieten the rabid fanboys with this "I can see a difference on a youtube video, so I know which one is better" type talk. :)

- zambrota below: It doesn't say the PS3 version is better - it says they are the same but different. The "motion" blur isn't really motion blur, it's more a blur of the frames, perhaps aiding in AA.

[zambrota]

nice find

i knew the ps3 version was better

The final game would be even more better because of the HDD install

another better multiplat game after Burnout on ps3

[JHFKDFNFGJKFHDKF]

I've played the demo on both consoles - and the graphics are amazing in both. What isn't amazing however; is the boring repetitive gameplay. I got bored just playing the demo.

Honestly guys - in terms of worries about this game; motion blur should be the least of them.

[HowarthsNJ]

Tips from Dahbomb:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

[mighty_douche]

Well i played it on both consoles last night, on the same TV, both HDMI, all options set to their best and frankly i saw NO difference.

People should be more concerned with the gameplay, which is repetative and quite boring, ON BOTH SYSTEMS!

f**king, moan moan moan, thats all this site has become.

[JHFKDFNFGJKFHDKF]

the mighty douche speaks the truth and is thus rewarded with positive feedback.

[DARK WITNESS]

got both systems, played both demos and all i was left thinking was...

is that it ? oh well, bring on NG2 !

[KDash]

everyone who sees mentionable differences is actually... GAY =)

[s8anicslayer]

my point exactly dude!

[nix]

ah... here we go again... for the millionth time.

is this demo also up on US PSN?

EDIT: thanks conan! need to download it... i played DMC3 but not the final fight (that happens when you reach hell or some place like that where you will have to fight with all the bosses again).

[Conan]

It is.

[Daz]

Lol this its getting out of hand.

[WilliamRLBaker]

I do believe this is the 4th comparison posted so far...

[romemac7]

Is anyone surprised anymore, PLAYSTATION 3 proves YET AGAIN that it is the most powerful console ever created. The xbox 360 has trouble keeping up with the PLAYSTATION 3 in every single game, it always plays second fiddle to the PLAYSTATION 3.

Only PLAYSTATION 3 gives gamers the true next generation experiences that they crave for with games looking and playing best on the PLAYSTATION 3 due to its superior hardware.

The XBOX 360 consistently shows that its hardware is inferior to the PLAYSTATION 3, yet the fanBOTS STILL believe all the marketing lies and hype about the XBOX 360. Sorry fanBOTS Just because a sleazy Microsoft's exec says its a supercomputer doesn't make it true. One thing I have learned about Microsoft is they are snake oil salesman, they will say ANYTHING to make you buy their garbage.

It's time to face reality, the evidence is there and the situation has not changed for over a year. The PLAYSTATION 3 has the best looking titles out there and plays them without breaking a sweat, the XBOX 360 just cant keep up with the PLAYSTATION 3.

Face the facts BOTS

ROMEMAC7 OUT!!!

[protekjv]

WHOS CARES JUST GET THE CONSOLE VERSION YOU WANT AND HAVE FUN AND PLAY THE GAME, JEEZ.

[ravinash]

These comparisons are getting pretty stupid now.
When the graphics between the two copies are getting so close that people are looking down to the nearest pixel just to claim their one is best, this its just getting sad.
And when you have things like motion blur to the mix where one console has these options and the other console has those options, then it just get retarded to look at the images at the pixel level.

[xboxrumble]

" By altering the sharpness settings on the PS3 you will be able to exactly replicate the Xbox 360 image.

The texture resolutions are the same on both consoles. The lack of RGB Full on the PS3 images, which widens the colour spectrum, also impacts the visible sharpness of the textures in these images."

I STOPPED READING RIGHT THERE. HOW YOU CALL THIS A FAIR COMPARISONS WHEN ONE IS ALTERED TO LOOK LIKE THE OTHER ONE "STOCKED"?

It like comparing an Intel and AMD chip while over clocking 1 or the other to yield similar speeds. Everything should be Stock and Default. I never thought the PS3 had to be altered to look as good as the 360 version didn't this game start on PS3 the first 2 years. Quite sad if that's the case.

[JohnRico]

Cryxen how do you explain The Sony Defense Force then ? If I were you I would shut the hell up. It works BOTH WAYS for BOTH fan groups & unlike The Sony Defense that is just one guy with a User Name. The Sony Defense Force is the one that is scared. Especially when they knowingly start LIES.

[Cryxen]

How do i explain the sony defence force? I wasn't aware I unexplained the MS defence force, I just responded to a returd with that name.

[achira]

lol, thats the same thing i said. motion blur! xbots powned again! zhuk didnt even noticed it lol. what a looser. to the ppl with sense, have a lot of fun with the game, xbox360 users an ps3 users. the game is nearly identical.

[Bubble Buddy]

I really don't get the point of these differences o_0. If the difference is that you have get up and look at the T.V 1 foot away, does it really matter?

[romemac7]

The PLAYSTATION 3 continually proves that it is the most powerful home entertainment device ever created time and time again, always providing the superior versions of any multiplatform title.

For a game that started out on the PLAYSTATION 3 AND ended up superior on the PLAYSTATION 3, this evidence in favour of the PLAYSTATION 3 superiority is massive and irrefutable.

The XBOX 360 is a dud console that failed to live up to the lies, deceit and spin by the sleazy Microsoft execs at E3 who duped all the fanBOTS on the site with their PR speak and smoke and mirror shows at E3. Every time Microsoft shows tech demos of their next console I go get the popcorn and have a good laugh while they try and pass off their console as a supercomputer and CG as in game graphics, yet the fanBOTS take the bait hook, line and sinker every time.

Microsoft is the most deceitful company out there, the XBOX 360 deserves to be the failure that it is

ROMEMAC7 OUT

[Z501]

is a great thing ~_^

inferior = RROD
inferior = 3 year warranty
inferior = no HDMI at launch
inferior = no HDD for 'core'
inferior = batteries for your wireless controller

Not every 360 has HDMI.
Therefore you judge accordingly.
*not every 360 owner has a HDMI capable console.

[Chug]

Not again...These comparisons are just breeding grounds for trolls & fanboys. (No offence to the contributor)

Look, even Zhuk has managed to manifest himself and post another worthless comment. If you want the damn game then by it for you console of choice, chances are you wont notice any difference.

[TheExecutive]

Well, even though i think screenshot comparisons are rediculous and just for hits on a website the thing that pisses me off the most is bad screenshot comparisons. This comparison is at least a good one and actually shows how many retarded fanboys visit this site on a daily basis.

[protekjv]

lol

[techie]

Agreed.

[JohnRico]

How are 360 fans owned achria ? Especially since its the PS3 version with the motion blur. Now thats owning.

[achira]

are you dumb ? motion blur is a feature! and a feature that needs many cpu power. what a moron.

[ThaGeNeCySt]

a feature that was found in launch xbox360 games

[achira]

yeah, but ugly implemented. thats a huge difference. nice blur effects are cpu intensive. for example the best blur effects i have ever seen in a game are in MGS4 and killzone 2. you can be sure that this effects eat a lot of cpu time.

[heihoosilver]

or Xbox360 games that have blur the blur is to hide low res textures but in Ps3 it´s a feature and is great? Isn´t also to hide low res textures?

[JohnRico]

Cryxen you have no right to try explaining some random person with a name like that when there is a whole Sony Defense Force group out there that starts lies & who knows what else on their site. Like I said it works both ways. If you did not know about it you should not be talking about the other.

[Toxic Shock]

No one is spreading lies, It is clear that the PS3 version looks smoother.

[Cryxen]

Learn how to reply retard.

the fact that people create a "defence Force" for their console is pathetic and proves their own inferiority complex in that they need to feel important. STOP BEING B!TCHES AND STOP GIVING SONY FANS EXCUSES TO FLAME YOU, then you wont need a, hehe, "Defence Force" lol

[Bebedora]

with a multi-port in development and show two screens and vote which console is the better one. Then reveal it next week/day.

Should give some fanboys to stutter and maybe vivid their minds?

[Chug]

Their fanboy eyes wouldn't know what to do.

[mighty_douche]

This thread has turned like many others into a complete load of sh1t, you b!tches moaning non-stop is damaging the web site you like so much.

Cant you see that? enough is f*cking enough, im out.

[techie]

Don't be all high and mighty now :O

[kvh22000]

Show me one game on the 360 that looks better then gran turismo 5, ff13, mgs4, or uncharted drakes fortune and i will entertain the idea that the 360 is in fact the most powerful console. As for Dmc4 it looks the same on both consoles.

[pornflakes]

Where did you buy KZ2? Cause you talk about thebest graphics ever although we have just seen 5 min of gameplay which didnt look any better than COD4.

And once again you show that you are just a stupid PS3 owner.. always the same from ya :D

KZ2.. KZ2.. KZ2...KZ2...KZ2.. where is KZ2? Ah of course wait untill summer 08... oder wait until 09.. wait until 2010.

[Jamaicangmr]

It's no different from the Gears will own all statments coming from your side of the stream now is it?

Killzone 2 looks better than COD4 specially the characters and the realistic environments. Don't get me wrong COD4 looks amazing great lookin environment (limited interactivity but still great) one of my favourate games but am just sayin Killzone edges it out. Based on the videos and gameplay that i've seen.

Stop being so biased because if Killzone 2 was on the Xbox360 you would be praising it just as everyone else is. Hate when people hate on a game because they refuse to by the console to play it.

[zambrota]

COD4 looks nowhere near Killzone2

Gears look nowhere near UT3 not to even mention Killzone.

Uncharted ,Killzone 2 are totally in a different league unrivalled by anything on x360

COD4 looks like D** SH** against Uncharted not to even mention KZ2

[snoopgg]

you only seen 5 minutes of Killzone 2, so how can you keep saying Call of Duty 4 looks as good. Lets just wait and see how they compare when the final of Killzone 2 comes out.

[THAMMER1]

Go buy the game and enjoy it.

[krik]

Good job ripten.

Those PS3 images look amazing (the Blur effect is pretty similar to the motion blur effect Uncharted uses when we turn around very fast).

I wonder how can ripten capture those amazing screenshots from HDMI... maybe using HDMI->DVI but how do they get rid of the HDCP?

[pwnsause]

they probably have A PS3 Dev kit that turns off HDCP, according to Gametrailers, the same guys that dont turn on RGB Full and Super-white, cause they're Ultra Dumb.

[techie]

it says they caught them via component

[JohnRico]

The only way the fan boys will stop uselessly whining mighty_douche is if the comments section one day becomes PROPERLY MODDED with mods watching this section when they are on. But that will NEVER happen or it would have happened already.

[pornflakes]

MGS4 looks good but not better than uncharted, thats first.

2nd: You talk about FF13.. i havent seen any screenshot or gameplay movie of the game, you did? Please stop showing ONE again that PS3 owners are just kids who dont buy ps3 games but just talk about CELL power hardware etc etc.

[Equinoxe_7]

All you xboxfans can do is whine, Sony is the company with most exclusives, can you handle this.

Your talk like your xboxfanboys have been on the console market for 10 years, go back to your crappy windows will ya.

[achira]

sorrry uncharted is nice. but it doesnt hold a handle agains mgs4, in any aspect. wait and see. oh, i forgot, you will never play that game. i am sorry for you.

[protekjv]

am pretty sure the person who posted this "game news", is laughing at every because we're arguing.....AGAIN!!

[IRONMAN_X_357]

cryxen basically just told it all

xbots need something to look for even though its not even true i bet

They no that cell is way better than a triple core, OH no wait they dont

F*kin rtards

[kvh22000]

to me both have good exclusives...in the long run i believe ps3 graphics will be better.

[Solid_Skip]

For anyone who hasnt played a DMC game its no where near "boring and repetitive". this game has great puzzles, fights and one hell of a story line. the only one that was not as good was DMC 2. the first one was great the third one was the best, and i bet this one will be great too. and for once but down COD 4 for at least a few hours, and give DMC a try.

[kvh22000]

vhcgartz.com claiming to have gameplay screenshots of ff13...they are amazing! I will see if i can link to it.

Many Xboxfanboys would like to have this game too, and MGS4, and i'm not lieing.

But I would like to have Gears of War and Bioshock on Playstation 3 then, that's a deal.... ;-)

[picker332]

What an xbox fan.

motion blur gives you headache now?!?

Lostplanet had more motion blur on the 360 & no one said anything about it can give you headaches there.

[techie]

lol It might.

[prowiew]

Well, Xbox fans can claim the pictures of dmc on 360 looks better than on ps3. I can see a news headline there.

[JohnRico]

Is that your impression of Dark Sniper Zhuk ? If so thats a good one.

[Equinoxe_7]

The Playstation 3 continually proves that it is the most powerful home entertainment device ever created time and time again, always providing the superior versions of exclusives.

I think Zhuk is the new Phil, bad pr style.

[skagrerrrr]

you people are funny. dmc4 still s*cks no matter what platform

ROMEMAC7 OUT"

Too Bad Sony's BIG BAD console can't output this game in 1080i on my TV, which also means no 1080p...Isn't it SONY who said "IT's not HD unless its FULL HD...meaning 1080p? Most all games I want to play on ps3 I refuse to buy because I get knocked down to 480p while I can play it on 360 in 1080i...Believe you me, I really want to buy software for my new toy, but time and time again have no choice but to go the 360 route due to SONY shooting themselves in the foot time and time again and not supporting all forms of HD. Please argue that its not SONY's fault its up to the devs, well to this I say you should A)make it a requirement that all HD formats are supported or B) should open up the so called mystery scaler that is in the box for the devs to use...I'm so sick and tired of having to go to a thread on the ps3 forums to find out which games are safe to buy (meaning support 1080)

"HDNA...HD is in our DNA...The only True HD is FULL HD" I say Bull Sh*t

[Silellak]

Yup. This is the reason I still don't own a PS3.

"The next gen doesn't start until we say it does" indeed. It would be nice if this next gen actually played games in high definition on my high definition TV. But, I guess if I want that, I'll have to go to the "last gen" 360.

EDIT: Heh, I love when someone 'disagrees' with posts like this. Are you disagreeing that the PS3 won't play in HD on my TV? Because it won't. I have an older TV that only supports 1080i, so the PS3 automatically down-scales any non-1080i-supporting game to 420p, while the 360 automatically up-scales it to 1080i. This is a FACT, and I'm not entirely sure how you can *disagree* with that. The FACT is that if I want to play high definition games on my high definition TV, only the 360 will ensure that ALL games play in high definition.

Given Sony's statements about next gen and high definition, this seems a bit absurd. I guess I could always grab a PS3 VGA cable and plug it into my 1680x1050 widescreen monitor...oh wait, I can't. Because there isn't one. Awesome.

[lesferdinand]

That's why in Europe HD ready and Full HD were quickly adopted as HD standards. All TVs currently sold in Europe are capable of at least displaying PS3 games in 720p resolution. Early adopters of 1080i sets like you are screwed, which sucks. Just like owning a HD-DVD player or a profile 1 non-upgradable Blu-Ray player sucks. That's the risk of adopting technology before if becomes established.

[Silellak]

That really sucks is that there's no reason for it.

If the 360 has a built-in hardware scaler chips that automatically upscales to 1080i, why doesn't the PS3?

[go0se]

Hey I got an idea.....Why don't you get a job/save from your current job for about 1-3 months and go out and buy a flat panel lcd/plasma tv.......full native 1080p. Problem solved.

[Silellak]

Maybe because our existing HDTV's work fine for everything BUT the PS3? The cheapest PS3 is still $400. Add to that the cost of a new HDTV *just* because the PS3 won't work properly with older HDTV's and suddenly we're talking a $1000+ entrance fee for the PS3.

Somehow, I don't think the PS3 is worth that, upcoming exclusives or no.

[go0se]

I see what your saying. But for me, Buying a fully capable HDTV is worth it because you get a lot more out of it than just using it for your ps3. Maximizing the way you watch TV and game is def something I want and will save for.

[Silellak]

I also see what you're saying, but from what I've read, CRT HDTV's tend to have a better picture than most other HDTV's for both HD and SD TV. Television broadcasts won't be 1080p for awhile, and the only way I watch HD movies right is now is on TV (either downloaded from XBL or recorded from HBO/Starz). I have little desire to get an HD movie player for at least a few years, once the price of the players and the movies drop to an acceptable level.

The only things I can't do with my 1080i set are use a PS3 or an upscaling DVD player, neither of which are worth the price of a new HDTV to me.

[midgard229]

they both look the same, i have a ps3 and i dont care even if ps3 one was superior unless it was a difference between a wii game and a ps3 game drastic.

2nd, u cant tell ps3's full power from a multi platform game, it makes no sense cuz they dumb it down for the ps3 version, the exclusive ps3 games look better than exclusive 360 games, Gran turismo vs, forza, uncharted vs gears, heavenly sword vs mass effect, resistance vs halo 3, not to mention upcoming games like final fantasy versus 13 where ingame looks exactly like cinimatic vs lost oddessy which looks like a really good ps2 game

although after i say that i'd like to say it matters if the games play well most of all, no crazy load times or load ins (no more heroes) no lag, no freezing, and no repitition. peeps only only care bout graphics, even if the gameplay sux, i mean seriously, go back to bein a gamer everyone, not an advertiser

[The_Engineer]

that tout the 360 as a graphical powerhouse are the extreme fanboys??

We all know the history of MS and it's management when it comes to speaking out against Sony and the playstation platform. If they the people who actually DESIGNED the 360 are mum about it's graphics and instead we have seen a steady EXODUS out of MS's xbox division since the launch of the PS3. What does that tell anyone with more than two brain cells?? To me it says MS already threw in the towel and are just milking their install base for a return on investment.

You don't let BUNGIE (their premiere developer and cash cow) go independent if you have plans on sticking around in the console market.

[lesferdinand]

The 360 is a graphical powerhouse, at least, in the traditional sense. The whole architecture of the system is streamlined for creating nice graphics for as far as I can tell from the various sources on the internet. The PS3 doesn't work in the traditional sense of CPU and GPU and therefore gives developers headaches because they need to learn new tricks. If I'm not mistaken, originally the PS3 was designed without a traditional GPU but with two Cells.

As for the Bungie point, I don't think MS had much choice. A developer is as good (and valuable) as its people. If they decided they didn't want to work on just Halo anymore and therefore would leave MS, there's little MS could have done to keep them, though they could have retained an unstaffed Bungie Inc.

[Maddens Raiders]

comparisons, and admittedly the reason I've stayed out of this debate, is because some people will actually think that somehow this makes puts the 360 on equal footing with the PlayStation 3. The fact is that we know publishers like Capcom and EA have to "dumb down" games on the PlayStation 3 in order to reach comparable specs of it's competitive predecessor; and let me say that this is not a put down on the 360, but just the raw facts when it comes to apples to apples on both consoles. I'm not saying that the 360 version of this game looks bad in anyway. In fact quite the opposite -- I think the game looks terrific on both consoles and certainly on my 65" 1080P DLP. The truth of the matter is that "some publishers" unlike an IW will just stop once they've reached that happy medium and won't exactly go the little extra mile citing financial constraints, time, or or programming difficulties.

This is understandable as money is the bottom line for these companies, but let's not get carried away here. DMC4 is a beautiful game, but by no means the zenith of what the PlayStation 3 is capable of doing nor a measure of what it's capable of comapared to the XBox 360. Capcom found a happy medium and decided to "just leave it alone" after that. I personally wonder though why IW had a little more success on the PlayStation 3 version of COD4 and went as far as saying that it looked slightly better on the PlayStation 3? I could care less -- believe me, I just want to know (((what))) did they do that was different? Is it simply the engine utilized as a core framework, or is it more of a pre-positioned strategy that I eluded to before which has time and fiduciary constraints? Will anything change in the retail version of this game or will they still look exactly the same?

Sorry for all the questions - just wondering! 8D

[lesferdinand]

Multi-plat means mediocrity and everybody looses.

[brooklyn127]

look all you have to wait for is when ign insiders do the side by side comparisons then you will see the truth just like when ign and other sites said BurnoutParadice is superior on the ps3 60 frames per second compared to 50, no pop in, no lag online,slightly better textures.My point is every one is expecting there system version to blow the other version out the water in terms of graphics.It's not going 2 happen with multiplat titles.But the gameplay can be better on one system then the other.In this case the ps3 wins no loading,better controls,and better sound (5.1 pcm) but the game will be good for both systems.But ps3 first party titles blows xbox360 titles away in terms of Graphics uncharted,mgs4,killzone2,and eight days. Thats when you really compare the graphics for each system.Not a fanboy I own both systems.After all were comparing demos so this infact is ridiculous.

[RudeSole Devil]

Anyone????

[OpiZA]

Isn't motion blur used 2 "smooth" a lower frame rate? Just like in movies. Just asking... all fanboys don't answer.

Oh and this website needs better mods. But I do love how quick the news pours in.

[DJ]

But Motion Blur is perceived by the human eye in real-life settings, and thus subtle amounts of motion blur within videogames adds to the believability factor. You can also overdo it though, such as in Lost Planet.

[Mr_Kuwabara]

Why is the title, the Real HD comparison? Those pics are from Dot50Cal taken from the video I submited yesterday. (Made by the same person) =/

It doesn't bother me that there is another submission of this comparison, but still it doesn't make sense calling mine fake since it's from the same person using the WMV format version of the video.

[InYourMom]

My respect for the Ripten site goes down every week...

Seems like a wannabe website anyway.

[demolitionX]

"CryEngine2 is one of the first game engines to support motion blur, motion blur makes frame-by-frame motion look more natural because it simulates what our eyes see in real-life. Another thing it does is show a trail of where objects have been and therefore the brain can interpret what was between two frames. This makes frame-by-frame motion appear smoother and makes it look more natural".
So, DMC4 PS3 version is a MUST MUST buy! 360 couldn't handle motion blur. END OF STORY!

[AbyssGravelord]

lolololololol ignorant fanboy!

[Shroomy]

I mean, look at some people taking this extremely offensive.

THEY ARE NEARLY IDENTICAL, IT'S NOT LIKE THE PS3 VERSION LOOKS LIKE THE PS2, SO SHUT UP BECAUSE THEY ARE THE SAME, GREAT ON BOTH!

Shut up and play, stop crying because one thing is sharper than the other, it's not in any way a huge difference.

[techie]

Haha this thread is hilarious. N4g makes me smile and cringe at the same time :P

[Bleucrunch]

yea gamers already know what console they are going to buy it for any way so I dont see the need for this post.

[The Devil-Angel]

For using the motion blur, you'll need more power in terms of graphism.In the action game, all is more intense and realistic. For example, look at Crysis on PC. With HDMI, the PS3 offers the best visuals and gameplay experience (don't forget the loading times)for DMC4...

[Salvadore]

Both versions are great... End of discussion.

[OmegaKulu]

Play the freaking game and shut up ppl.

[DJ]

=]

[Cynical-Gamerzus]

I just played this demo it was amazing however you can see where the xbox360's weakness(lowest common denominator) shows itself as loading and small levels and limited detail comes in..

Xbox360 is the limiting factor as DVD is not sufficient for larger worlds and graphics.Streaming would of been prefered off of BLuray.BUt guess what PS3 isn't selling well and of course Capcom had to make it Multiplatform..

pretty lame but oh well

[lucas107]

if it wasn't for the Xbox right now a lot of companies would be out of business because games are selling better on that system. I know many people who cant afford a ps3 and got a 360 instead because of this. if the 360 is making the game companies money then the 360 is good for the ps3 because it gives them more money which means more people to work, test, and polish there games which makes better games for all. it also makes for good competition which drives them to better other people and push what they can do with there games.

[NaAsAr]

funny, i made these same comments about this game yesterday in another thread and i got disagrees. ^_^

[power of Green]

Comparisons for PS3 fanboys. 360 version looks better.

Trying to comfort PS3 fanboys with these real HD pics that have 40% worse quality with some Bullshit comment attacked.

[rexor0717]

When its running, you cant tell the difference. The game is better on the ps3. The graphics are equal...but the gameplay is where the ps3 pulls away from 360. OH WELL! I DON'T CARE! Its multiplatform. What I want to see is the best ps3 game vs the best 360 game graphics comparison. That would be cool.

[power of Green]

"360 couldn't handle motion blur"

WTF is wrong with PS3 fanboys?... PS3 fanboys have bashed the 360 for 2 years about Motion blur... saying it wasn't powerful enough not to have it.

Now you guy's flip that around after digging up this bullshit sloppy low quality pics claiming all this BS RGB and sharpness nonsense. All that BS talk in the post is not going to make rocks and extra textures on the ground appear nor is it going to make cracks bumps and holes appear on the fire beast(I wouldn't be messing around with sharpness trying to get rid of jaggies. lol

[Blademask]

Games always end up looking different on multiplats. This is just a fact.

A consoles power isn't maxed out on a multiplatform title EVER. Nor is it the showcase for how amazing graphically it can be.Some devs get the PS3 version to have sharper textures, some get the 360 to have sharper textures. This entire FANBOY dumbass argument is really getting f`cking old. It keeps changing and evolving. pretty soon all of you will be zooming into pixel levels to see which has a true value of white, and which doesn't.

This all mattered early on when 1 version of the game was CLEARLY inferior due to framerate/loading which would affect gameplay. Remember that Droids/Xbots? GAMEPLAY?

Now you idiots have some how lost the focus of those original arguments which lead to the conclusion that console that was out longer (XBOX360) To have better programming support and knowledge base. It was NEVER a case of the PS3's hardware being not up to snuff, and you all know that. It was fun for a while when a PS3 title would play at 5fps and struggle to maintain. Those days are over. COD4/UT3/Burnout/DMC4 are all millions of miles ahead of R6V days. However even still, when you have reviewers sitting here saying "Both versions of the game are identical, one has a slight graphical edge" You foam at the mouth to deliver blows to the other console camp, as if that matters.

I know for one, all of you XBOTs go completely Silent when it comes to Uncharted, a console exclusive that shuts down all 360 titles to date. The stupid dumbass xbot argument is 'well i dont think its impressive yawn yawn yawn' Yet when confronted with a legion of reviewers that do say its impressive-question whether or not it can be done on the 360.. You go with the 'reviewers dont matter' argument. YET you sit here day in and day out arguing over what they are saying using it as evidence to support the case of a 360 title having SHARPER TEXTURES. Its completely retarded.

You dumbshlts are going to be in a world of hurt for a while. Multiplatforms have and always will be different on different hardware. Exclusive titles where no compromises need to be made in code are where the console stretches its power legs. You guys wouldn't have made it with the previous generations. If you did, I dont understand why you idiots think Multiplats released near the same time will be 10000x better on one console, and not the other. God damn morons.

they need to change the name of n4g to

www.broke-idiots-that-have-to -justify-their-console-purchase s-because-they-have-no-social-l ife-in-the-real-world.com/droid /xbot

[Panthers]

Anyone who disagrees with you is a fanboy. Get a life people.

[n_n]

xbots can't take the fact that ps3 1st gen games are on par with 360 2nd gen games... this is only the beginning... xbots will be crying very, very soon

[Jesso2k]

So you can have it.

[jackdoe]

Okay... I bet you don't even want to buy the game. You probably just want the 360 version to be better. Sigh. Will real fans of DMC please stand up.

[power of Green]

Motion blur is used as a Next-gen effect but is offten used to hide bad textures. The other pics suggest Capcom wounldn't have used motion blur if it wern't for them trying to hide the PS3 versions textures.

No way of getting around it PS3 version has layers of textures missing and many more jaggies and duller colors. In the other pics the fire cow beast isn't moving very fast, its not motion blur nor Sharpness nor RBG settings lol.

[eLiNeS]

just look at the difference for yourself on the fire cow beast

[Jamaicangmr]

Wow you really zoomed there, tryin really hard. Your just sad i pitty you.

[eLiNeS]

here is another example, enjoy!!!

[jackdoe]

Ripten has consistently been level headed and I like this article. It is a very, non biased read. I for one, am not really digging the motion blur. Too much blur can be a bad thing. Hopefully, there could be a way to disable it in the final version of the game, ala flicker filters and the grain filter from Mass Effect. Anyway, I find it surprising that the only thing that people want to talk about are the differences between the two versions of DMC4. Seems like no one wants to buy it, they just want their version to look better than the other. Shame on you. Textures are similar, supposedly there is some artifacting on the 360 version, AA is similar, PS3 version is slightly more jaggy in some areas but overall, and the framerate is the same, save for the cutscenes which in the 360 version is capped at a solid 30fps and not capped on the PS3 which leads to frame rate dips from 60 to 30fps at times. In the end, does it matter which version is better to any of you? I bet most of you complainers only own one machine in the first place.

[Shroomy]

Since the pads are pretty identical in button layout, the only thing that gets a minus in my book is the PS3's analogs, no grip what so ever, makes shooting more challenging but not these types of games.

Face it people, THEY ARE EQUAL. THE SAME THING ON BOTH.

What loading on the 360 by the way? I went into it and it loaded extremely fast, I was surprised.

[jackdoe]

Er, that was because the demo was installed on your harddrive dude. The final version(360) won't have that same luxury, but I'm sure people could live with a 5 second load time.

[BloodySinner]

Really funny when a game that was built for the PS3 from the start looks worse than the Xbox 360 port. I find that pretty amusing.

[Shroomy]

Load times don't bother me, with all this fuzz about *oh my god that picture is sharper than that picture*

I think people are taking the next gen too serious and losing it, patience for one thing, I didn't mind load times years ago I still don't care now. If it's not outrageous then alls good!

[jackdoe]

I agree. Load times aren't a big deal if done right. And the sharper image is all because of the "flicker" filter that blends frames together which people are taking out of context, people who haven't even played the fvcking game on the PS3 making judgement on the PS3 version from fvcking stills and vice versa. Getting real old.

[power of Green]

LOL PS3 fanboys always looking for counters to everything they don't like. Always livng in a fictional world.

They're equal enough but not equal, if that doesn't make any sense neither does PS3 fanboys responses.

[OutLaw]

But you guys kill me with all your fanboy sh#t. Why don't all the fanboys get guns and swords and fight each other with it to see whose blood looks more real.

Get over it already both systems are here to stay.

[Jamaicangmr]

While you didnt technically ask am just gonna say i'd recommend you buy the PS3 version. I am because well it just feels better on that controller. Tried it on my an Xbox360 and while it looked and moved like the same game (Really don't see why some are squinting to find a difference.) it just felt better with the Playstation controller.

Anyway that my opinion to your technically unasked question, hope i was theoredically of assistance to you my friend.

[OutLaw]

Thanks for your opinion. I just tried both demos and decided to put full payment on the PS3 version.

Thanks again, Outlaw.

[Sheddi]

They the same to me.

But im getting it for ps3 because im used to playstation.

[krik]

Looks like IGN also things PS3 is thebetter version

From their head-to-head article ( http://insider.ign.com/arti...

Overall
So which version of Burnout Paradise deserves your hard earned money? While it's a close call, the PS3 one ultimately delivers an experience that's just a little sharper, faster, and with the extra control options of SixAxis, offers an experience that you won't quite match on 360. The 360 version is excellent in its own right and, if you're not a multi-console owner, you should have no problems getting the most out of the game. If you do have the luxury of choosing consoles, the PS3 has that little extra boost where it counts. Some people might prefer the slightly brighter coloration on the 360, but for most, the added environmental detail, ubiquitous lighting effects, and slightly higher frame rate on the PS3 deliver just a little better overall experience. While we've seen lots of third party games suffer when ported from 360 to PS3, Burnout Paradise is clear proof that, when designed from the ground-up for multi-core processing, the PS3 can definitely compete with any other console out there.

Overall 1. PS3
2. Xbox 360

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

"We hate our console because it only has movies and 2nd rate games and, the only games we do have play better on the 360" Sound like a Droid to you?

[Mc187]

If you can't capture using HDMI then STFU.
I would never use my PS3 with Component.
However most 360 owners only have component.
Why should we Ps3 owners have to dumb down our equipment to placate to the 360 owners?

P.S.
This is only the demo. Maybe the title should be" The Real Hd DMC4 DEMO Console compparison" Just a thought

@jason360
Dude u are presumptuous a$$ trying to twist my words into some pro 360 rhetoric get a life dude. my comments are far and away better than any drivel that spews out of your cum dumpster. I'm sure about the first 15 million 360's shipped without HDMI so yes as my post states MOST 360's do not have HDMI.
Pwnd much?

@zambrota
thanks great comment bubbles for you my friend

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

You talk about not excluding PS3's HDMI then, you wan't to exclude 360's with HDMI ???????

Hypocrite much?

Want them to hook up both with HDMI? won't make a difference because the PS3 will still lose.

No... what you want as a "Droid" is the 360 on component and the PS3 on HDMI so it will give your PS3 a victory for a change, and you want people to forget about the "fact" that the 360 does now come with HDMI.

You b!tch, cry and whine about these things being unfair for, then you want it to be unfair for us.

Fair is
HDMI vs HDMI
Component vs Component
But you (SDF) Droids want it HDMI vs component

(((Sony Defence Force Activate)))

LOOK BELOW: I found some pics of some of the members of Sony Defence Force. One is a chick, who said Sony doesn't have female gamers?

[zambrota]

HDMI vs HDMI comparisons?

how can you do that?

x360 support HDMI 1.2 (only the recent versions)

All ps3s however support HDMI 1.3.

HDMI 1.3 streams 2x data at 2x speed as HDMI 1.2

[Mr Blings]

I hear what your sayin....I have my ps3 hooked up to hdmi as well, and guess what? more then half of the ps3 games out there will STILL get knocked down to 480p for Sony lack of supporting all HD formats, but HD is in their DNA

[Mc187]

I only get knocked down to 480p if i turn off the 720p, 1080i in the display settings. But yes that is something i've noticed as well.

[destroyah]

the Ps3 version looks better. looks like 360 can't handle motion blur

[RudeSole Devil]

After all this shi_t talking, I went home downloaded both version and compared them by placing the character in exact locations and switching to there respected HDMI port.

My sources..

40" Sony Bravia 1080p
Xbox 360 (HDMI) 1080p
PS3 (HDMI) 720p

The PS3 version only allowed for 720p, but still destroyed the 360 version. I have no reason to lie, the PS3 version was way more clear and the colors where more vibrant. This time around the Xbox 360 version look really washed out. Both HDMI picture settings where exact and I tried adjusting the picture settings for the Xbox 360, but didn't help the fact.

[Martini]

Can we have your xbox gamer tag so that we can verify that you are indeed telling the truth because i think you are full off shiat.

[InYourMom]

Played them back to back.. Xbox360 is better graphics, sharper more vibrant color. PS3 is better controls and Dante seems to be a tad bit faster when moving about.

Neither make the game any less inferior on one system or another.

@82.1/.2 - Fvck you both! Don't pretend you know me. I am speaking the honest to god truth here. You are typical Sony tools who don't want to hear the truth. My source is my own eyes kids. Destroyah you especially you Sony troll asshat, you have your junk shoved so far up Sony's azz your opinion means nothing.. NOTHING..

[destroyah]

you downloaded the PS3 demo to your imaginary PS3? LOL! what's done is done. you're always trolling just like Zhuk. get a life. PS3 version looks better.

[RudeSole Devil]

I just did this 10 min ago, and your full of shi_t. Name you source. People who don't have the equipment to fully take advantage of there systems should shut the fu_ck up.

[GITPWNED]

Even if his claim of motion blur were true, the UN-BLURRED giant boss still looks sharper and better lit on the 360 version. 360 version DOES have higher rez pixel shaders. This is undebatable. As for the last pics of the motion blur. Ha. I don't think so. If they want to prove it has motion blur, why not just show some screenshots of something when it's NOT moving? Let us see how good it really looks. Why not? But no. Sorry, but the PS3 version is not as good. Motion blur doesn't blur the entire screen like that, least of all the shaders, and especially not the shaders of things NOT MOVING. It creates trails. What would blur something like a texture is depth of field, and both version use it. sorry, fanboys. 360 FTW!!!!

[RudeSole Devil]

I just compared both version, read my posts first and stop guessing.

[jackdoe]

You probably won't even by the fvcking game. Sigh.

[ilkercruiser]

Xbox360 version doesnt need Blur
Because of 4xAA on Xbox360 , Ps3 version has jaggies and need blur for cheaper smoothing :)

Mblur is a "piece of cake" effect for GPUs

[xionpunk]

big difference from what was shown yesterday.

[Silellak]

Man, this generation's console war is a neutered travesty.

360 vs. PS3 is nothing compared to SNES vs. Genesis. I still remember the whole Mortal Kombat fiasco. Looked prettier on SNES, but Genesis had blood - which one to buy?! Now we have people staring at every silly pixel trying to figure out if a certain texture is sharper on one system over the other or if the lighting is a little better when you stand on your head and look at the screen from a certain angle. Ridiculous.

Hint: If you have to stare at comparison videos/screenshots to figure out which one might look a tiny bit better, or argue about the TYPE OF CABLE USED TO CONNECT THE SYSTEM TO THE TV, then the difference between them is TOO TRIVIAL to matter.

Own both systems? Buy the one with the controller you prefer. That'll make much more of a difference than a tiny bit of variation in the graphics.

[Mc187]

do you not understand that this is not a spot on compparison?
This is also a DEMO.
you should change your name to Igitpwnd.

[TheXgamerLive]

Ps3's motion blur is what it "HAS TO USE" in order to soften those jaggies, etc...

It's not an added awesome effect or anything. In fact, it's effect does take away from picture sharpness and contrast, so it's a wash at best, either you get jaggies w/better clarity at a distance or blur w/no jaggies but a less sharp pic, your option though so that's a good thing.

Choices.

[chrno6]

So the true comparison shows the ps3 version to be the better version. ha.

[Sneaky Snake]

This pic's are PhotoShoped.

[Kwijiboe]

My Own Comparison.

Definitely is a noticeable difference in color between the two.

[Zinger]

Fantastic. That was hilarious. Bubbles to you.

[Conan]

Bubbles to you.

[snoopgg]

this game even looks crappier on the 360 with those pics. Ha Ha

[Zinger]

So basically what this shows me is that to the untrained eye (Ex your random consumer) will not really even notice these miniscule types of things. Supposedly the gameplay is better with PS3 controllers, so whatever. I don't know about you guys but I actually like to play video games instead of stoping every 20sec to take freeze frames to see which version is better.

[Horny]

i downloaded both versions and technically they look the same. The PS3 has a little more shade going on and is a bit darker, it goes better with the games feel. The ps3 controller is also better with button mashing games such as this one. I just played both versions and either one u get u wont miss out on the gameplay experience. Personally I prefer the PS3 version and will be picking that one up on the fifth.

[sleepbox]

Stupid Japanese games take all your momentum away when they throw in some stupid puzzle.

[calis]

Jesus Christ.

Both consoles have to god damn game. Just play it and friggin enjoy it. Nit picking at little differences (if any) is just pathetic.

You fanboys (yes both Sony and Microsoft) need a god damn life. You both can play the game, why are you still debating such a pathetic point?

[Mr Marbles]

because Sony lied to 8 million customers and told them they were paying more for a superior console that has turned out to be inferior.

Instead of the idiots being outraged they make excuses for Sony so they don't feel like suckers for buying into Sonys hype. Motion blur, 360 imgages over sharp LMAO, how can an image be over sharp! LOL

[calis]

How simple minded are you? The game is cross platform.
Never has a cross platform game been made from scratch for both consoles. The cost of it is too much it wouldn't make a profit. They are going to look the same or similar.

Reviewers have said the game looks exactly a like, some say it is better on the PS3. You idiotic ramblings with no evidence on the contrary is laughable.

How can an image be over sharp? Open photoshop, open an image, and just sharpen to crap out of it. That is what an over sharpened image will look like.

Jesus I can't believe I am even lowering myself to such a moronic debate.
You are a perfect example of my initial post above. You simply cannot accept both are the same. Why is that? Why does it matter? You can play the game, who cares what it does on the other platform?
And if your version is better, why do you feel the need to gloat about it? Do you just have nothing better going on in your life you need to come here and gloat just to feel good about yourself?

You fanboys are pathetic.

[Mr Marbles]

I dont have problem with the game, I will be getting the better version. But im not going to lie to myself like you and the idiot who wrote this article, who even admits the two are not the same. You just keep telling yourself that because you can't accept that Sony lied to you and everyone else and you ate it up like a putz. Here is the reality you need to make peace with, THE PS3 IS NOT SUPERIOR TO THE 360, THEY ARE EQUAL AT BEST! Deal with it, the two versions ARE NOT the same, no one is saying that, everyone can see there are VERY minor differences. Only you are in denial.

oh one more thing, COD4 was made from ground up on both platfoms seperately, that is how they got them both to look equal.

[Xbox is the BEST]

COD 4 looks better on the 360. Better textures, better colors.

[SageFrancis]

Let's be honest here, when you're blazing away in the game are you really going to notice the SLIGHTEST OF DIFFERENCE (if there is one?) I can tell you right now the answer is NO and if you then you're a no life turd who spends all day on N4G saying "BUT BUT THIS TEXTURE IS BETTER ON 360 THAN PS3 BUT BUT ITS A BETTER GAME OMG"

just stfu and play the goddamn game. It's gonna be an amazing game whichever platform and you wont notice the difference because you'll be too busy PLAYING THE GODDAMN GAME.

[THE TERMINATOR]

Play Uncharted and then you will find out if both consoles are equal.

So much fighting over graphics, people, both version are IDENTICAL...
Gamers don't rely only on graphics, they rely heavily on game play...
Well got to go play my super nintendo...

Oh really ?? Maybe you need to dust off your monitor Mr.Steen as the textures are noticeably better on the 360 in the first set of pictures that YOU provided.

Look on the bottom of the left corner and you will see a hillside or a rock. Can you please look carefully at the surface of it and tell me that the 360 does not have a better/more detailed textures ?? Oh what is that ? Are you saying the PS3 has a RGB texture on/off switch turned off ? Oops silly me what was I thinking... (end sarcasm:)

The reason we have to take screenshots, blow them up and then rub 'em into PSfanboys faces is because of all the shiat slinging they did in the past and that includes Sony towards the XBOX.

Now the PS3 is the laughingstock of the industry with ports to 360 looking better then the originals for PS3 and games getting canned... way to go have another sip of coolaid.. there - feeling better..? now grab that KY and bend over.. :):):)

Looks like everyone wins with this game. Good job Capcom!

[spike]

The 360 wins again

[snoopgg]

keep telling yourself that. It will make you feel better now, but not later on this year when all the best exclusives are on the ps3.

[MvC Xtrm]

You want a real comparison?

Here's mine with Full RGB "on" and "Off" plus the 360 version (Elite with HDMI). 360 still has clearer and more defined textures either way. Pay attention and compare the legs on the beast and specifically the ground texture. Please see attached image links below:

I can tell you right now, there is no extra "Motion Blur" on the PS3 version. It's a fabricated, desperate lie by Fanboys. Don't give into their BS. I assure you, this is as genuine as it gets!

[skagrerrrr]

fanboys are just blind...funny

[cityboy100]

U have both consoles like I do. In which this article hits the mark for telling the truth because I've seen it for myself.

[MvC Xtrm]

That's the "truth" and that's where it's @!

Gamer tags please.

as i have a 360 and PS3, and the only difference i noticed was that the PS3 version seemed a little darker than the 360 version, and the bumper buttons on the 360 aren't as comfortable (for *ME), as the PS3's R1 button, but i attribute that to the fact that i've been using the Playstation controller for over 10 years, and i'm simply used to it.

i'd make a big fuss, and contest the differences, but the complete ridiculousness of the fanboys here has astounded me.

to the PS3 fans: just let it go. let them have this, as the complete and utter *WHIPPING the PS3 is about to unleash on the market this year will give us plenty enough to gloat about in the coming months.

i mean, what other system will let you play all *THREE of the biggest titles hitting this year?

GTAIV
Metal Gear Solid 4
Final Fantasy XIII

inarguably 3 of the most anticipated titles of 2008, and two of three can only be played on the Playstation 3.

not to mention new IPs like Infamous, Little Big Planet, LA Noire, and Heavy Rain, and the return of newly established IPs like Resistance 2 and Motorstorm 2.

i have a 360 too, but most of my gaming will be done on the PS3 this year. it's just a fact (for *ME personally, i can't speak for anybody else, of course).

multi-plat games will be what they are, and there will be some differences, but when they're this miniscule, *WHY make such a fuss over it?

[Suki03]

Well said well said. It's great to have the best of both world!

[SEAN1617]

the 360vesion is a bit sharper, but the ps3 does have the motion blur, the frame rate on the ps3 is top notch compared to the 360s(i have notice screen teering) thats about it, they both look great,and play fine but the 360 controller really sucks for the game. all in all they are both equally good so really stop this non-sense . I'll wait for the full retail version.

[SuperSaiyan4]

Motion blur exists when 'moving' I dont see the character 'moving' in those images it is with him standing STILL!

This has to the worst excuse in history for the lower quality on a PS3 port it really is.

Xbox 360 wins again with a better quality port with better clarity and stands out to be a winner yet again, no surprise since the 360 is more superior in graphical quality.

Played a little Bioshock yesterday. The game is so hyped. Jaggies, low res textures. What I do not understand is why xbots dont see this. The PS3 and the xbox does not even compare as the PS3 is so much more powerful. The next someone tries to compare a PS3 to a 360 game do not ever believe the 360 is better cause its not. The 360 is good but will never reach the power of the PS3. I am a witness.

[Aquanox]

This is the stupidest twist I have ever seen in this war. A fanboy even bothered writting an article trying to defend his Playstation 3 version by making up stuff about the games.

MOTION BLUR doesn't affect Slow Motion scenes or Static Scenes. Check this capture:

http://img184.imageshack.us...

The Background is static and the characters move slowly. Motion Blur doesn't apply there yet there are BIG differences in texturing in the background, floor and characters.

Also, the author of this biased article claims the Xbox 360 has inferior AA yet the very picture he brings up to support this shows JAggies in the PS3 version where the Xbox 360 doesn't have them.

In Short, the Xbox 360 version DOES Look better than the PS3's and this guy and all fanboys need to get over this soon, it's not that big of a deal.

[SpenserTracy]

The 360 version does not look better, you get over it. The PS3 version looks the best and plays best, it's simply the better version. Stop hyping the 360.

[AngryTypingGuy]

Spenser, I think you need to get your eyes checked. The 360 version does indeed have the edge. Aquanox is right though, it's not that big of a deal. Just like every other generation, there will be games that look better on the PS3, and games that look better on the 360.

It just so happens that this game, like 95% of the other multiplatform games thus far, looks slightly better on the 360.

[Guitarded]

Well not quite. Last gen all Xbox games looked better than PS2 games. Xbox is way more powerful than PS2. It showed in the games. "IF" the PS3 is way more powerful than 360 it has not shown in the games. Last gen there was a clear winner in power from day one of Xbox's release. This gen not so clear.

First why would you believe in this BS pictures, which there is no way in telling it comes from a reliable source.This is retarded the xbox360 fans know the truth they just don't want to accept it. So when somebody comes with these photoshoped screen shots they believe it.Take a look at these sites they say the playstation3 version plays,looks,and runs on a better frame rate,first site is (1up.com) which is an xbox360 site so there is no denying it second is (Gamesradar.com),and third is http://gamereviewsblog.com They played both full versions not a demo and said the ps3 version is better.See thats proof at least coming from 2 well known sites not from a fanboy or a fanboysite.Look it up if you don't believe me, ps3 fans please don't believe in these BS pics more sites will reveal the truth once the game is released.Remember this the truth can never be buried it will always surface the ps3 version is better it's a fact.Just like (www.gamepro.com)and (www.ign.com)say burnout paradice is better on playstation 3 then the xbox360 once again coming from legit game sites.
