Tomb Raider Resolution and AA for 360 and PS3

Quaz at Beyond3D offers a comparison between the 360 version and PS3, positing that the 360 is 1024x576 2xAA and the PS3 is 1280x720 2xAA.

[Lord Shuhei Yoshida]

Either way this game sucks.

Keep in mind that all PS3 multi-platform games are superior anyway so this really isn't news.

[na2ru1]

teh 360 has teh betterz multiplatformz

[smturner68]

screw that, I'd rather have the motion blur that the 360 verson has!

[predatorV4G]

all ran at 1080i native on PS3 and lower rez of <720p on X360

any multiplat game could be made to run at 1080p on PS3.

the most realistic game ever made --the GOD OF ALL FPS KZ2 runs at 1080i on PS3

so GTA4 should have run at 1080p on PS3 since the game looked like dogshttt

[Bathyj]

Thats not motion blur, is just low rez. ;)

[blackbeld]

360 is too bad..

[360 man]

predatorV4G you chat so much crap

i will love to know were u get ur info from

[ravinshield]

360 stills looks better

[Oner]

Uhmm, yeah....sure :rollseyes:

I guess some people just don't want to hear it now but any other time when it's the other way around it's okay. But that's okay here is some more proof people don't want to "hear"

I'm playing them on PC 1920x1200 @ 60FPS+

[NegativeCreep427]

Another Microsoft exec is going to make another public statement; saying gamers don't care about High-Definition. High Definition is so last-gen!!!

Microsoft will once again be riding the spinny go-round!!!!

[Snake Raiser]

ya man, I, BIG BOSS, agree. why should we fight over who has a better version of a near-flop? The graphics are bad on both. And who ever took these screen shots is an idiot. Look at the second one, that is just a time of day difference in the game. Imagine taking a picture in GTA4 at night and asking someone to compare it to a daytime picture.
Dumb-@$$ arguments ensue over a bad game with so-so graphics.
1.9= flaimbait, and I say that as a sony-fan.

[dukadork]

xb!tches called it an 'uncharted killer'
xb!tches now call it a flop

"but but but... teh multiplat..."
SFTU xb!tch

[Giriath]

It really doesn't matter which console you choose to build and port from when the developer doesn't put enough time in it.

[GrieverSoul]

Sure! But wasn´t the X360 version developed in the lead? They even went announcing exclusive DLC for it!

This article is a little funny IMO!
They didn´t put Trophies in the PS3 version but they go for the trouble to optimize the engine to 720p?! o.O

[predatorV4G]

Multiplat games dont matter at all

But this should give readers something about the power of ps3

Uncharted looks 2x as good as Tomb Raider or any x360 game

Uncharted 2 looks way better than any game out there

Uncharted 1 ran at 920p native not just 720p

so this means any dev can actually make their game run at 1080p on PS3 since multiplat games dont require that much of ps3's power

KZ2 runs at 1080i too so this should tell everyone about ps3's power

[predatorV4G]

yes x360 was the lead platform for this game

Prince of persia also run at 720p on ps3 and 600p on x360

same goes to Dead Space and Farcry 2

DMC 4/burnout/alone in the dark /COD4 all ran at higher native rez on PS3

[Elven6]

Also factor in the universal developer excuse into the equation, it goes something like this:

"The Xbox 360 Will Upscale Everything to 1080p", I believe the PS3 also upscales content but not "natively" meaning it has to be coded in if I recall. This makes developers lazy which is a shame!

[TheXgamerLive]

You believe a member from a forum that's a sony fan and take his gossip and though it's the bible?

First the pics look the same second I've played it on 720p and it looks great on my Xbox 360, so if this were true lets hear it from Eidos themselves and the reason behind it.

Fanboys be them Xbox 360 , PS3, or Wii isn't acceptable as the truth behind what they wish were true or make up to bash another.

I've said this before and I'll say it again, "NO" article should ever be allowed to be published on here when it's basis is a forum members only.

p.s. OK, with that said , the game is great and a hell of alot of fun in my book. Much better than the games you compare it too.

[moja]

"But this should give readers something about the power of ps3"

What, you mean the article or your custom 1080p Sony underwear? Honestly, spend more time on your schoolwork and less on formulating idealistic throes.

In this case, good for PS3. It goes to show that developers don't have to be afraid of the 360s upscaler.

.. and seriously, healthy competition aside, some of you just act like M$ slapped your mother and sh*t in your oatmeal. Jesus.

[pansenbaer]

@ XGamer

This guy has been counting pixels since this generation started. Alliances aside, he knows what he's talking about. When 360 games are rendered better, he makes it known...

...also, I'm not even sure where you are getting where this guy is a fanboy. The forum is Beyond 3D. Doesn't really have anything to do with either system. They count pixels. They let people know the truth.

Check out these pages.

http://forum.beyond3d.com/s...
http://forum.beyond3d.com/s...

XBOX 360 - Grand Theft Auto IV = 1280x720 (2xAA)
PS3 - Grand Theft Auto IV = 1152x640 (no AA)

See, no bias

[Elven6]

That list brings alot to light, it seems like the guys at Crystal Dynamics have never gotten 720p on the Xbox 360, same with the COD series on both!!!!

I'm surprised to see even MGS 4 isn't native 720p.

[SonyOwnsNextYear]

BURRRRRRRN

[pushergreen]

Even with fewer pixels it seems the 360 is just as good at rendering the graphics as the ps3. The colors are more vibrant on the 360, multis seem to have the vasoline effect on the ps3. Who cares though, just play the damn game.

[Vip3r]

Even though this is the guy who pointed out the GTA4 resolutions, you still don't believe him?

lol...

[gaffyh]

Who the hell cares? Stupid POS Tomb Raider. MS stop wasting your money on exclusive DLC for crap games, and start developing some more first party stuff!

[Danja]

whats this doing on the front page again ?....

[power of Green]

The 360 version has less jaggies.

[thereapersson]

This "PS3 fanboy" as you put it was the one to discover that GTA IV's resolution was running lower on the PS3, as well as the crappy resolution that HAZE runs at. What's your excuse now?

[theEnemy]

who cares?

The game is not really that great anyway..

[Johnny Rotten]

I just picked this up for the holidays and it's really good! If you like tomb Raider you'll like this one.

btw people need to stop comparing Tomb Raider to Uncharted, Tomb Raider is a puzzler Uncharted is an action shooter whatever. The only thing they have in common is the treasure hunting.

happy holidays!!

[antt3]

I was actually thinking of getting it as sort of a appetizer while waiting for Uncharted 2.

[strongbad1441]

Not on the PS3 or 360 version. To me, they BOTH look like last-gen titles

[AshleyRiot]

@strongbad1441- You are insane. When the game first shows you on the boat surrounded by water and then you dive under the sights are pretty stunning. Anything but last gen. The game is like this throughout with amazing environments. Sure TR isn't going for a realistic look it has it's own TR style in the art more so on character design. Personally I think it looks very good.

@JohnnyRotten- I totally agree. It's my favorite since TR1/Anniversary.

[badz149]

I play this on my PC and despite not as interesting as Uncharted, it is still a good game! personally I'll give it an 8. seriously, it's not that bad at all!

[Ju]

The game isn't that bad. However, I think it could have been so much more. The story has potential. But the bike level is a joke, nice environments, to minimalistic character models and the camera drives me crazy. Sorry, not even close to UC. But it has its moments and shines in some situations. And about the comparison to UC. Sure, they can be compared. These are the big "treasure hunter" franchises out there. Not much else that I know of.

[SonySoldiers]

The PS3 version supposed to be 1080p, aight?

[yanikins111]

hows that bubble?

[Gue1]

Who gives a flying fuk? Stop nitpicking the freaking games fanboys!
edit: And stop approving so much crap too...

[dragunrising]

OH NOEZ!!!!

Come on people, it doesn't matter. GTA IV was a lower rez on PS3 and no one cared, same thing here. If you love Tomb Raider and have both consoles, you might want to get the "superior" version but for everyone else...

[predatorV4G]

TR looks much better than GTA4 though

But uncharted 1 easily tops any game on X360

576p is TR's rez on x360

[iistuii]

games be less resolution but with AA in them, looks a hell of a lot better than the jaggie games on the ps3 with the lack of any AA. Every game ive ever played on the ps3 has a problem with no AA, mainly multiformats but still saw lots of it in LBP and Home.GTA was the worst, terrible jaggies, also fifa 09 and my god look at pro evo, go to take a corner and the corner flag looks like a ladder its so jaggie. Nah lower res with aa is much better looking.

[PirateThom]

Well, you'll be happy to know this game has 2x AA on both consoles as well as higher resolution on PS3.

Funny that the 360 has a choice between AA or higher resolutions.

[cactuschef]

Where are all the people who keep talking about how GTA4 had a lower resolution on the ps3 than on the 360?

[Homicide]

I blame lazy devs for the 360 version :P

[Danja]

this game isn't that good ne ways besides im sure all of you guys who are gonna talk smack about this didn't even buy the game....so whyu care about minor stuff like this

[na2ru1]

wait a sec!?

[predatorV4G]

"yes, X360 1024x576 2xAA and PS3 1280x720 2xAA (with quincunx)"

ROFL

this means Tomb raider would have looked 2x as good or as good as Uncharted 1 had it been PS3 exclusive

[Nogames08_09_360RROD]

This is not surprising as the Sh1tbox 3-Fix-Me is an inferior console with inferior multiplats and isnt capable of high caliber graphics that only the PS3 can produce.

Giant Enemy Crab/Lobster: bu bu but teh sales.

Me: Too bad sh1thead, Tomb Raider sold more on the PS3.

Giant Enemy Crab/Lobster: bu bu but we get exclusive DLC.

Me: Too bad sh1thead, the game is crap no DLC is going to make it better.

[predatorV4G]

I simply dont get it

why do americans buy that xbox.

all its games bombed this year except fable2 and gears 2

all its jrpgs are flops and craps .

all its games are crap like too human

[Avto]

This is news? wow most of the games nowadays run ar sub HD resolutions and if 720P is relatively widespread, 1080P the True HD is a very rare native resolution for modern console games.

[thereapersson]

It's just as valid as any post saying a PS3 game runs at a lower resolution than the 360 counterpart.

People don't care how good the game is -- they only care about numbers and technical specs.

[Avto]

Sure people at Beyond3D, talk about resolutions, and frame buffers, and it's all they seem to care about, but News is something new right? while the sub HD resolution is nothing new ever since Halo 3 and COD4.

[predatorV4G]

cuz recently i mean all games including Far cry 2 and Dead space ran at 1080i on ps3 and lower rez 720p on x360

Uncharted 1 ran at 920p on PS3 and it looks almost 2x as good as Gears 2

so with time and optimization any multiplat game could run at 1080p on PS3

GTA4 should run at 2160p on PS3 . same goes to Fallout 3

[Avto]

Actually if beyond3d is to be trusted Far Cry 2 runs at 1274x692 that is to say 692P on PS3 and at 1280x696P on X360. Uncharted runs at 720P not 920 and yes I do think it looks a lot better than Gears and a little bit better than some of the Gears 2 graphics.
I don't think PS3 or X360 could run all of the games at 1080P no matter how optimized they will be. And GTA at higher resolutions can barely work on good PCs let alone PS3/X360.

[Ju]

Avto, I agree with you. Not much is 1920x1080 on consoles now a days. Most native 1080 games use less shader power or fewer textures. However, KZ2 runs 1080 lines (but scales horizontally, like UC and some others). Wipeout HD runs 1080 lines with a dynamic line length (anything between 1400 to 1920, AFAIK). I think 1080 has been hardly tapped into yet. There is some space left to exploit 1080 a bit more in the future I think (I am guessing GoW3 could be that milestone). KZ2 is a first for GG and I can imagine, building on what they know now, and possibly getting inspired by others (WipeoutHD?) a 1280+ x 1080 res is possible at some point. I don't think full 1920x1080 at a sustained frame 30 or 60fps will ever be possible, though, with the fidelity of, say Uncharted. But, you never know. I have nothing against a positive surprise.

[PirateThom]

I find it amusing that this isn't news, yet when it's a 360 game running at a higher resolution, it's "power of da Cell" and "PS3 is difficult to program for".

And you're right, this isn't news, JUST AS IT WASN'T NEWS WHEN IT WAS THE OTHER WAY AROUND!

[kazuma]

yeah, that's pretty much it. whenever a 360 game runs at 720p and the ps3 version runs at like 640p, these threads spawn like 5 pages of mindless stupidity.

whenever it's the other way around, these articles are pretty much quiet. i wonder why? =D

[ukilnme]

I think I know why. Everybody (especially the Sony Faithful) knows that the PS3 is supposed to blow the 360 out of the water. So when an article pops up that says the 360 is superior, Everybody (mostly the Sony Faithful) comes flooding in with comment after comment like, "The developers were too lazy to properly program for the PS3." or "PS3 should have been the lead platform.

When it's the other way around, Everybody (especially the Sony Faithful)knows all is as it should be and should have always been this way.

This comment is intended strictly for entertainment purposes and does not reflect the views of N4G.

[baum]

I could also say it is the "360 faithful" coming here and trolling and bashing PS3 and its owners, which is actually true. But the truth is that it's a mix of both.

Funny how you always try to come out as neutral when you're clearly not. I don't care if you own all consoles or not, I own all too, but clearly you still have a bias.

Reserve your low quality comments for -------------->

[ukilnme]

@ baum

I definitely prefer my 360 when it comes to gaming and don't see that changing anytime soon. As for the "Faithful" on both sides, I am definitely biased against the Sony "Faithful" as I feel they are full of more crap than the 360 "Faithful". Always crying about the media being biased, lazy developers, PS3 blowing the 360 out of the water and my personal favorite which is crying about exclusives going multiplatform, link provided below. It may happen on both sides but I see this type of thing much more from the Sony "Faithful".

http://n4g.com/up/13764/Blo...

Allow me to share one last thing. I was in Best Buy on Christmas Eve doing some last minute gift shopping. I was on the PS3 aisle (go figure since I'm obviously biased against the PS3) when I was approached by an older gentleman looking for advice on which PS3 to get for his 21 year old son. I recommended the PS3 Uncharted bundle. He then mentioned that he was going to buy a 360 Elite but was not sure about it because his nephew's 360 just died on him for the 2nd time. I told him that all electronics fail but some fail more than others. I also mentioned that the 360's failure rate was reported to be around 33% and that the PS3's was about 1% to 2%, was not sure exactly but I knew it was low. I told him based on those numbers it was a no brainer to buy him a PS3. I honestly could not recommend a 360 to somebody not knowing if MS has fixed the hardware issues or not. So much for my bias against the PS3.

Edit:

As for reserving my low quality comments for the Open Zone. I'll take mine there when you take yours there.

[baum]

If you feel that PS3 fans are "the worse", then you're evidently 360 biased, as you just admitted. All fanboys are terrible. I can't stand some 360 fanboys but I'd be lying to myself if I thought Sony fanboys were better. I bet you that if roles were reversed it would be the exact same situation.

Kudos for you honesty

[MRMagoo123]

@ukilnme
Really if you think the media isnt biased you must have ur head up something dark and smelly all you need for proof is gears of war 2 getting 10 out of 10 from any site what so ever and im not just taking a dig out of the game but how on this green and blue earth can you give a game 10 out of 10 when its online mode is broken beyond repair if thats not biased i guess the definition in the dictionary is wrong.Anyone that says the media is not biased are idiots plain and simple.

[ukilnme]

@ baum

I know it's sad that I have a bias against a lot of Sony fanboys. It's one of my many faults.

@ MRMagoo123

I know the media can be biased but it just cracks me up how much people here on N4G complain about bias against the PS3 and that MS controls the media. Oh well, we all believe what we must to get through the day.

MGS4 and LBP also received many 10 out of 10s. Are those reviewers biased? Can you tell me those games are perfect or are they perfect for you? What's the big deal if a reviewer's experience with a game is so enjoyable that they decided to give it a 10 despite the flaws? There is no way to say your experience would be the same as taste in games are completely subjective. A 10 for them may be a 6.5 for you.

[MRMagoo123]

I have in all honesty yet to find a fault in LBP or MGS i have yet to find a single glitch in MGS in all the hours i have put into it.But my point was that these sites must have been a bit more than biased to not notice the obvious flaws in Gears of war 2, its not like you rarely stumble apon them there apparent every time you play and arent just a fluke when you see them.I can forgive sites for not seeing a glitch or bug every now and again when its a rare thing in the game to happen but when there like they are in gears of war 2 you cant miss them.Ide like anyone to play gears 10 times online and see if its not 10 times youll see a massive bug or glitch because i can bet you it will be 10 out of 10.No one in there right mind can say the media in general wasnt out to get sony the day they released the ps3 even before it came out and the funny thing is even though there are sites now that see that the negatives where mainly false or had been fixed pretty fast some sites still cant let go and are trying everyday to make the ps3 seem worse than it is.Even game shops are biased i have gone in to my local eb games and have heard the staff telling ppl not to buy the ps3 and get a 360 which i think is a basic disregard to work ethics.In a perfect world there would be no biased media but sony sites are gonna steer towards sony and 360 sites to the 360 but the ones inbetween should be neutral but more times than not arent.sorry for the million words.

[ultimolu]

Lmfao, so true Thom, so true.

[Keyop]

It's not that different to be noticed really is it...

At the end of the day this is a good Tomb Raider game, with a big nod back to it's original heritage with some great Puzzles. Fans of the original game will like this as I did, regardless of a few tell tale pixels between resolutions...

[rrodhaha]

its more then just resolution. PS3 has better textures and 360 version is missing self shadows in parts check pic 5 in the link.

[Sarcasm]

Tomb Raider wasn't that great anyway. Although I'd have to say Lara was super hot in that game.

[Droid Control]

Even though i also own a PS3. There are 4 reasons for this:

NORMALLY they look and play better
They are often cheaper to buy
The onine component is always better on LIVE
and all my friends always own the 360 version as most don't have a PS3 yet.

However, now i'm really pissed. I've also found bug issues with the 360 version(not sure if its just 360 or PS3/PC also) and the save files corrupt)

The only saving grace is the DLC announced EXCLUSIVELY for 360!
TWO new packs.

Looks like with tomb raider, you can't win either these days.

While we're talking about tomb raider, you know what would be rerally cool for the next game? 2 Player co-op! co-operative puzzels!

Lara needs a companion, a fellow adventuer. A man or woman, someone you can your friend can play as together.

And keep the DLC flowing!

[predatorV4G]

all my friends have sold their x360 for PS3

PSN is free

Multiplats look better on PS3 now

Multiplats usually run at higher rez on PS3 --FC2/DMC4/alone in the dark /Burnout

PS3 supports full 1080p native.

Uncharted which looks way better than anything on x360 runs at 920p on PS3

[yanikins111]

lol

[HDgamer]

I hardly doubt real gamers would care about this. And I honestly doubt that this forum is credible enough to be recommended. They don't play games they count pixels in photoshop.

[yanikins111]

thats why this is funny. all the guys that ripped on the ps3 because a few games ran in a lower rez than the 360 version. Now all of a sudden, graphics dont matter.

but yeah, who cares anyway. Gimme wkc already.

[Baba1906]

i enjoyed the game very much.its not perfect but its ok. i thought it looked pretty good too. but well irs no uncharted.

[scratchbox360]

remember the 2x aa quincunx, ladies and gentlemen. Why? cause iits the future. Thats why the PS3 has better AA. Remember when bots used to brag about regular 4xAA? LOL, what a bunch of idiots thinking their regular AA was superior. 360 couldn't handle quincunx anyway. Wasn't designed for it. Instead it got a cheap crappy daughter die that is nothing more than a capacitor to do this, Lol.

face it bots your system was designed with cheap tech and now look your platform sucks. I know because after playing gears 2 I realized how sucky the 360 really is. There is no way in heck that the 360 could run any first party PS3 game without being redesigned and then taking a massive hit. Not just a little either, trust me when I say massive. muhahahahahahahahah, moving on.

[Software_Lover]

This is not gonna end well. But what goes around comes around. This has happened before with the ps3. Some of you deserve the flames to come

[Sangria]

I have finished TRU on 360 and it didn't look that bad, i even found it quite great, even if it could be better. Now i'm just starting Halo 3 and i find it technically horrible with a huge amount of aliasing and crappy models.

So i guess 576p isn't always bad for every games, even if Halo 3 is one-year-old.

[scratchbox360]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. 360= power. I'd like to see uncharted get ported to the 360. I need a good laugh.

[Vip3r]

What does it run on the PS3 at?

[TasteLikeVictory]

I thought after Gears 1 games would continue to improve but they really havent. While they have refined the graphics and allowed for a little bit more on the screen I think its safe to say the 360 has already topped off...

Its a good game either way but that resolution is pretty low. Its not even 1024 x 768. I remember running my 9500 with a better resolution about 7 years ago... Battlefield 2 era.

[LinuxGuru]

Um, Battlefield 2 came out in June of 2005 (last line of GeForce FX cards, barely getting into the 6000 series).

2001 is like...Return to Castle Wolfenstein era.

[gamfreak]

is always good for a laugh, especially there's a news on Flopbox 360.
Because 360 is a joke and will always be for many yrs to come..... Hahahahahaha.

[Mr_Luke]

Why the war now? The game (that i DON'T like, but just my tastes...) works good on all the formats.... i'd be angry if i had the console XXX and i couldn't play cause more bugs/problems/commands/etc on that version than the others.
I tried both, the differences are invisible, so....
I know i'll get lot of disagrees from fanboys, but remember i'm not attacking or defending anyone ;) i've just seen and compared, for curiosity

[Parappa The Rappa]

"**Laughs uncontrollably**

[ultimolu]

...I lol'd.

[darkequitus]

All militant fanboys are anti competition and anti progress, therefore anti gaming. They are so wrapped up in wanting the other side destroyed or ridiculed, they don't realize what the world be like with a one part oops, I mean one console environments.

Now I will go of to play a little LBP and R2. And round the day off with a little Horde :)

darkequitus:psn/xbl on of few true gamers on this site!

Edit: I am expective 1,001 disagrees from every fanboy nut.

[Parappa The Rappa]

what? i think i get what your saying. its just in broken english.
or did you mean to say it like that?

[Official General]

I played Gears 2 and I saw the graphics, and I'm being honest - they were not anything special or outstanding. In fact Gears 2's graphic's looked a lil' pixelated in some parts and some textures were lacking and all it seemed to have was nice artwork design. The gameplay was good, but not groundbreaking. I saw Halo 3 being played for the first time (I'm a PS3 only owner) and man were those graphic's a complete pile of sh*t! Halo 3's graphics looks just about better than a PS2 game! I just wanted to see the hype that these two 360 games were all about, since so much noise has been made about them. None of them really impressed me at all (Unchartered blew me away!. This is just my view from what I have actually seen, so it is subjective not factual fanboys.

EDIT: And YES I played these games on the 360 on my cousin's 32' LCD 1080p Samsung HD TV before anybody asks.

There is no way Gears 2 looks better than Metal Gear Solid 4. Even Uncharted 1 and MGS4 clealy beat Gears 2 in graphics. Anyone who seen these games and says otherwise - well your entitled to your own opinion but I think you are just fooling yourselves.

[scratchbox360]

general you are so right. Uncharted and mgs4 were mind blowing. Try playing little big planet and then play gears 2. Yuck. I thought the same thing about halo 3 until I looked closer at the screen. The textures were pretty impressive in Halo, and yet it still looked like a ps2 game. dunno why its that way but it is.

[DaTruth]

MGS4 looks like it's native 1080p. It looks absolutely stunning!

[ikral]

360ers changed their song, sounds better now. Now lets play games.

[eliasg]

dont matter cause Gears of War 2 (GOTY) looks and play better from any PS3 exclusive, included uncharted...

[PirateThom]

De Nile.

Not just a big river in Egypt.

[baum]

Is that why there are twice as many enemies on screen on Uncharted than on Gears? Is that why the animation and color gamut in uncharted is a lot wider than in Gears? Is that why Uncharted is longer, more realistic and has a better storyline?

Look forward to your not so intelligent reply.

[ultimolu]

Lol @ Thom.

That was clever.

[ikral]

I´m not happy cause PS3 is stronger, i´m just happy for all those good games are to come. And i wish you luck, all of you with X360, may your consoles work smooth. And to Bill Gates, shame on you, old man, for fooling all those kids with your foulty hardware.

[kyleg]

i am no fanboy i got both the ps3 and 360 and you do know that the 360 can upscale ever 360 game to play in 1080p it might not be native r but its better then it just running in 720p. it will have less jaggies if i run it at 1080p it might not be native but it will look better. and when you have a game that has a 720p native r and you upscale the rest it will look a lot of a hell better in 1080p then it running 720p.

".. and when you have a game that has a 720p native r and you upscale the rest it will look a lot of a hell better in 1080p then it running 720p."

Not really. A lot depends on the quality of the scaler, i.e. is the scaler in the 360 better than the scaler in your TV. Many people tend to forget that HD tv's have built in scalers, otherwise they'd be HD only.

Even very expensive dedicated scalers still won't match native HD resolution.

Oh well......

That chink c0ck feels good up your asses yes?

[Sergeant Osiris]

you bots show why you will NEVER be #1 and will NEVER dethrone Sony.
buncha racist morons.

[PirateThom]

When it doubt, resort to racism. It's what all the adults do...

Oh, wait, no it isn't.

[bobdog626]

It may Look a Little better but do it Run Better?hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[LTC]

Yes
Just watch the videos.
Hummmmmmmmmmmmmm

[jack who]

GTA4 ps3 wasnt in HD

your point?

"Early test reports are finding that Grand Theft Auto IV is only running at 630P on the PlayStation 3—falling short of hi def—while the game runs at 720P on the Xbox 360"

[Erotic Sheep]

If I recall the 360 crowd was making quite a big deal that the PS3 version isn't HD. And now the roles have changed it's something we should ignore?

Your point?

That's right.. shut up

[kenjix]

Wow there horrible lighting on the 360 version and absolutely no self shadowing looking at the last 2 pics. 360 and last gen dvd tech for the Phail :)

[Elven6]

Disc space has nothing to do with a games resolution good oll C# and C++ do.

[PS360PCROCKS]

ZOMG! ONLY 576 lines!? what is the world coming too?! The POS 360 is holding the world from advancing.

[iiraymoii]

I did not think there would be a difference..but was I wrong. Its night and day to me, 360 owners got jipped on this one. I will say the game is rather good, so even if the 360 version got gimped in the graphics dept. it more than made up for it in the gameplay dept.

[DJ]

PS3 version looks a lot better. Both versions look like crap.

[Kush_Reaper]

*In todays breaking news* 360 exposed lol.

OBAMA!!!

[The Judderman]

Ive played it on 360 and PS3 and it looks the frekkin same. This stories are garbage. Mine looks better than yours blah blah blah. Its the same game, its looks and plays the same.
I swear people on here arn't actually gamers but just nerds.

[Iceman100]

who gives a damn the game looks better than most out there.

"Is that why uncharted has twice as many polygons per character than Gears of War 2?"

is that way nobody cares about a tomb raider rip off, and a poor one at that.

[TheMART]

Well...

GTAIV

360 - 720p
PS3 - 640p

GTAIV was a much more important game then Tomb Raider. So I guess the 360 is superior.

[Oner]

Why do I hear a baby crying?

[ultimolu]

...And MGS4 came along and killed both games.
Seriously Mart, you can't be taken seriously.

[xg-ei8ht]

Mart your forgetting one small detail.

GTA4 was ported from the 360 version. And GTA4 is dlc for 360.hmm hmm.

But even though it was, it still does more pixel 4 pixel. Lighting is better, water fx are better. 360 has trouble with alot of shaders, that's why the rez has been dropped in the 360 version of Tombraider, it uses alot of shader fx.

Don't get me wrong, Gears of war does look good. Just not as good as most stuff on PS3.

Kinda like racing games.

Go Play Motorstorm Pacific Rift.

It Freaking Rox.

So much going on, with so much detail.

It's like being in offroad heaven.

[FxckOSX]

PS3, still can't 100% optimized

360, entirely optimized

[moja]

For someone with hate in their handle, I have a hard time stomaching your judgment

[sak500]

Desperate for anything against 360 in news are we? Reported author and story. Forum post against guidelines.

[Kyur4ThePain]

Oh, shut up.

[Vip3r]

PS3 screenshots do look better imo. But then again, comparison mean jack when you only have the one console. I'm sure both 360 and PS3 gamers will enjoy the game regardless of resolution.

[sak500]

FAKE NEWS BY DROIDS
Desperate to get anything negative to post for 360. OH hw are the sales of LBP and R2 doing?

[bunbun777]

VG charts so you know I don't really care....

Res 2 -- 1.0 mil

LBP -- 1.5 mil

and if you think that's not good enough, that your system is better because of it, that you win and they lose --than awesome!

you go guy.

[dkgshiz]

Tomb Raider was a bad game. Very boring. Just go play uncharted. Its a much better game.

[moja]

Fully agreed.

[dirtrider]

the fatgirl says mart cant be taken seriously........hey juuken atleast he owns BOTH consoles. something you havent ever done.......you are the one that cant be taken seriously since you think ps3 has "momentum". third place isnt "momentum" you fvcking hamburgler. outsold by 360 3-1 outsold by wii 8-1 yea where is this "momentum". stupid fatass. go back under your fvcking rock stupid b1tch.

[KidMakeshift]

I played the 360 version and it's HD. This isn't like the GTA4 debacle where the PS3 version actually looked like it was SD

This is another bull sh!t site like that Lens of Truth that claimed that the 360 version was sub par to the 360 version because they showed mocked footage then later apologized

I have both systems so I always want to get the best version (which is usually always PC), but the PS3 has only 2 multiplatform games that stand out that I know of: DMC4 and Burnout Paradise

[I_am_rushin]

Quote: "Lens of Truth that claimed that the 360 version was sub par to the 360 version:

eh???

[jalen247]

I am noticing a trend...poor xbox! I thought multiplats were supposed to be better on xbox 360

[xtreampro_REVENGE]

i dont see why the BUTTHEADS r getting afended, Uncharted 1 destroyed the Crash'n'Burn-BOX and every title anyways, and uncharted 2 has just PAWNED every 2009 360 title with perfect headshots, so yeah....OWNED!!

[Condemnedman]

I'm laughing my socks of . I have now packed my 360 away and will use my ps3 for everything including bathing and ironing(cant press my smalls in anything lower than 720p god forbid) and who said halo 3 and gears looked crap are a little bit jealous and twisted get a life while these games may not have the best graphics in the world they do look great on my tv (why dont the silly ps3/360 fansboys start their own little geek website and aurgue all day while holding their willys who's console is more powefull while we can enjoy gaming on no matter what conlose we own. I own both by the way

[MiztaToungueTwista]

this isnt really news .. everyone knows that ps3 has a slight advantage

[Information Minister]

I never thought I'd see the day! But it's only fair I guess, considering that every single game powered by the unreal engine runs at a lower resolution on the PS3 (except UT3).

[kewlkat007]

Disagree if this gives you a chance to troll retaliate....

[OSIRUSSS]

The 360 IS true next GEN!!!!

[/snark]

[Hot_tea]

For real tell the difference between the two? I can't.
The only different thing I see (as usual) is the 360 seems to render a lot darker on the contrast.

[yanikins111]

yeah look at her character, you'll notice
shadows cast from her hair on the ps3 version. also, the picture of the ship, you'll notice the image is noticably better on the ps3. in particular, look at the chairs in the boat.

[IQUITN4G]

Apart from people like ourselves that read articles like this every day it seems, people just give a stuff for this sort of rubbish

I'd be happy to play it regardless of which machine it's on and so will most people outside of sites like this

N4G is a great site but is this really the sort of thing we want on the site?.Do these articles somehow give people a stiffy every time they log on here?

Tiny differences here and there between each version so just be happy whatever format you're playing

The biggest differences between machines i have noticed has been Bioshock, but if you're the owner of a PS3, the loss of clarity on that game still shouldn't be enough to put you off playing

Looks like PS3 version of TR could be slightly clearer but it's differcult to say really.The only option anyway for me is to enjoy it for 360 so i wont be having nightmares over this

[TIKUP]

This game is good but no way is it a uncharted beater!!!

[rrodhaha]

someone make a new story the lame xbots complained its a forum post.

[xg-ei8ht]

Failed because 360 owners can't see the RROD for the PS3./

Strange when i was stated, by the same person in the same forum that gta4 was lower rez on PS3, all 360 owners welcomed it.

Now all games are running lower rez or looking worse on 360, they fail approve the story.

Strange that!

and xGamer.

Fake: (19 hours ago)
A fanboys forum page isn't official news, it's just a Xbox 360 bashing, should be removed as all stories like this should be, whether there against any other console as well.

Alot of devs go there. and know the place well, it's also been proven time and time again, this guy knows the correct resolution of anygame. and how it came to be.

Just because you don't like the news, doesn't make it less true.

[Drealmcc0y]

The first Multiplat that looks better on 360, and the PS3 fanboys are having a fking party!

Achievments > Trophies
Live > PSN

Guess not

[Magic_The_Celt]

wow, so this is the first one to look better on the 360?

LMFAO oh man you just owned yourself so hard.

[Drealmcc0y]

ROFL your right i made a typo, i just got owned, lol

[ironmonkey]

ps3 has less antializing just look at the handle bars on the boat
so therfore it looks better on ps3

[darkequitus]

I think you mean more anti-aliasing or less aliasing.

darkequitus:psn/xbl

[Rockstar]

Gamers, please just enjoy your games.

None of this sh!t matters.

[HDgamer]

How does this affect gameplay?

[locos85]

Her tits and ass don't look as good on the 360 than it does on the PS3. Isn't that the only reason we play this game.......

[farhsa2008]

its probably the only reason you play the game but i'm all in it for the face lol.

[Adversary]

It makes me sad sometimes that the third-person-view is from behind Lara instead of in front :(

[GUNS N SWORDS]

in terms of graphics or audio or whatever it's got nothing on bioshock (ps3 version =680p, 360 version 720p, 60fps)

and it sure as sh!t ain't got nothing on gears2 :P (720p 2xaa)

[Neurotoxin]

Do you Spy on your next door neighbours?

[Adversary]

Clearly the AA is slightly better on the ps3 for this game, like 8x vs. 4x or something, but there's other things too. Like the extremely subtle texture differences (which can most easily be seen on the face of a statue in one of the pics), and the extremely obvious lighting and contrast differences. AA is great and all, but I think the contrast just looks better on the 360, and I'm not about to go tweak my TV all out to try and make the PS3 version look the same because then everything else I watch will be too dark. Too bad that I like the ps3 controller better for everything but shooters, or I would probably get the 360 version just for the contrast differences.

[The Judderman]

There the frickin same.

[be_wrong]

ps3 version is way better

[_Q_]

Who the f@ck really cares. Ill never play either version. Tomb Raider is dead

[Neurotoxin]

Now your talking sense! +1 Bubble for you sir

[Jeppe]

Wow, Lara Craft looks a lot more sexy in 1280x720... :-)

[Lord Vader]

"Complete the game on hardest possible settings
Acquired 12/31/2008"

"HARD" setting is noooby easy = good game though, always liked Booooooob-Raider. Nice open world puzzles.

I'm renting the PS3 version 2morrow 2 count the pixels....

LOL = No i'm not....

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

[The Judderman]

Xbox versions better obviously. Always is.

[swinesucker]

I respect both consoles, I am a PS3 owner but honestly this stuff gets old. I bought my console for exclusives as did many 360 owners.

The main thing here is that every single game released for both consoles is getting 16xAA 1920x1200 on any decent PC.

I simply cannot live with games like oblivion that LOOK SO MUCH BETTER ON PC. I for one will never buy them until I have a decent PC. And that goes for Tomb Raider, too.

These designers forgot one thing this time. WE gamers HATE jaggies.

2x... BLAH.

Killzone better be smooth and pretty because I am at my wits end. Half the games aren't even supporting AA at all on PS3.

It is uncomfortable to say the least when I paid 500 dollars.

Edit: for the poster above who said tomb raider is dead. You are simply out of your mind. The only reason for the low ratings is because the gaming press is obsessed with FPS at the moment.

The best puzzles you can find anywhere outside of Echochrome or something like that.
