Tomb Raider Resolution and AA for 360 and PS3

GrieverSoul - 362 days 23 hours ago

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

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!

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.

"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.

@ 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.

XBOX 360 - Grand Theft Auto IV = 1280x720 (2xAA)

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.

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.

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.

AshleyRiot - 362 days 14 hours ago

@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.

Ju - 358 days 14 hours ago

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.

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.

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

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.

Agree(1) | Disagree(8) | Report

Avto - 362 days 22 hours ago

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 - 358 days 12 hours ago

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.

kazuma - 362 days 22 hours ago

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 - 362 days 21 hours ago

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.

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.

@ 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.

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.

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.
