Resident Evil 5 DEMO Comparison

...So we're judging a game based on screenshots and not the gameplay in motion?

Are you serious?

What matters to me is that the graphics aren't destroying my eyes and the gameplay is great.

Arsenic, you just proved my point. You passed your opinion as fact when the game clearly looks great on both consoles. I don't see why we need closeups of skulls and facials. I mean, aren't we blowing off heads in this game either way?

Why do these closeups matter so much? C'mon now.

And how would that be? Stating that I think the minor difference will destroy the game when I clearly do not? Im just asking him about the obvious shading differences, how is the lack of them an opinion?

Im not saying that the graphics blow on the PS3 but there are obvious differences and your feeling like i hurt you physically. The game looks great on both places but there are subtle differences that i pointed out, it may be significant to me and not you but I can still make them apparent since its a comparison discussion.

Its a graphical comparison news post. Did you honestly expect not to see ppl comparing the details no matter how minor? I may of written the "your blind" thing in bad taste but its very apparent that things are missing and that cant possibly be opinion if you look.

@ below And yet you do nothing to aid either argument. Instigate all you want.

If these comparisons bother you, why even click the article? You set yourself up to something that obviously angers you. Just dont look up things that bother you.

Aresenic, do I *look* stupid to you? I graduated from college with a major in English and a minor in Classical Studies but that doesn't mean I don't have a degree of common sense. When the videos were shown here, it was obvious that *both* versions looked the same. Nobody was doing retarded comparisons on how the skulls looked blurry on the PS3 version and the skulls looked sharper on the 360 version.

Why do we need these closeup comparisons? Isn't enough that both versions will play the same and will look the same?

It was fun comparing back when GTAIV came out but now, it's ridiculous.

And you're feeding the ridiculousness of the whole damn thing.

@ candystop,

Yeah, Killzone 2 has nothing to do with Resident Evil 5, but the FACT is that KZ2 looks better than anything on the 360 and it stomps all over RE5.

I could care less about Multiplatform comparisons between the PS3 and 360 because it's obvious the PS3 is capable of more graphically and Killzone 2 proves it. As long as the PS3 version of a multiplatform game looks good, it's all that matters to me.

The blur is due to Quincux AA otherwise the textures are the same. The blur just makes it harder to tell some of the finer details. However, the lack of self shadowing is disappointing and will hopefully get fixed for the retail release. If not, shame on Capcom.

On my new hp touchsmart 504 IQ the 360 verison clearly has superior contrast, color and textures. The 360 version is sharper, 27-28 seconds in the 360 version has graphical effects missing in the PS3 version period, no amount of attacks will change that.

I'v noticed there is alot of anti MSFT news post on this site now that are simply not true.

Sorry.

Wow you really are a moron looks like someone wasted time and money on a college education! Did you even read the article? He clearly states that this comparison is for those people that have both systems and need help deciding which version to get . I for one found it very useful because I want the better version. You fanboys are just thick headed. It looks obvious to me the 360 version looks better (not bad for an old outdated system -sarcasm). So know all of a sudden graphics don't matter, "it's all about how the game plays" give me a break. What a cop out, you guys are pathetic! Then you have people saying things like, "I don't care about multiplatform games I just care about how good Killzone 2 is going to look.". First of all you should care because wether you want to admit it to yourself or not Exclusives are pretty hard to come by these days. Especially for Sony, second all you talk about are games that aren't even out yet and how this is going to be the game that's going to blow the 360 out of the water. Give it up already just buy both sytems and find out for yourself which is better. Don't get me wrong I love my Ps3 I use all the time to watch blurays, but for gaming I'll stick to my 360.

So basically what you're saying is that we should judge games by screenshots rather than gameplay.

You play games on your 360 and watch bluray movies on your PS3. I'll use the PS3 as my media center. I play games AND movies.

I know for a fact the PS3 version looks the same as the 360 version and nothing will change my mind. We have passed the era where games look different on both consoles.

its almost like its getting hard to trust game developers to keep their integrity when it comes to making multiplatform games. You look at the slight image quality and think "is this how it REALLY LOOKS or did the Devs or someone else purposely make one version look slightly worse then the other?"(perhaps influenced by money) then again i hate comparison videos altogether cuz it just fans the flames and these seriously need to stop being produced.

How can you call other people a moron when you come off with idiotic statements such as "Sony are finding exclusives hard to come by"??? I assume you're either ignorant or in denial in regards to the slew of PS3 exclusives due out next year compared to that of MS who haven't announced very much in the way of exclusives.

Also, the game looks pretty much the same if you're just watching it and not zooming into portions of the video, analysing it to death.

What you SHOULD be taking into consideration for buying the "better" version is whether or not you're going to prefer any online portions of the game more on LIVE or on PSN and whether or not you prefer achievements or trophies. Those are the real factors to take into consideration when buying multi-platform games these days because visually and mechanically they are virtually identical.

I would even go as far as to submit to you that there are no "better" versions of multi-play games in the visual or mechanical sense. The only differences as mentioned before are which online service you want to play co-op or w/e on, which rewards system you prefer and even if you care about exclusive DLC when it comes to multi-plats.

Now you may own both consoles but you really did just come off as some kind of retarded and rabid fanboy. Now I don't mean to insult with this post but if it did hit a nerve then maybe you need to have a think about whether or not your opinions are actually rational.

And yes, one of those diagrees came from me.

callahan09 - 365 days 11 hours ago

Both versions look gorgeous. It's a much bigger improvement over the visuals from Biohazard (Resident Evil) 4 than the last batch of shots I saw a few months back. It's shaping up nicely.

Some of the coloring is brighter and more vibrant on the PS3 version, while some of the textures look sharper on the 360 version. The lighting looks better in more of those screens on the 360 version, but some of the PS3 version shots have better lighting and shading effects too. I'd say that both versions have a fair number of screens that looked better than the other version, but the 360 probably had a few more better shots than the PS3 had. All in all, the differences between versions is very minimal, even in matched still shots. In motion, nobody will see a difference.

The real issue in terms of quality of one version over the other will be screen tearing vs. frame-rate drop. The PS3 version is said to have more frame-rate drops and the 360 version is said to have more screen tearing. Both can take a gamer out of the world of the game and back to the reality that you're just playing with code and polygons. I wonder which is more of a problem to their respective version? All in all I'd say that the benefits and issues with each version are damn close to equal and that either version is just as good of a purchasing choice as the other... Personally, the graphic and animation differences aren't weighted to the favor of either console enough for that to influence my decision. Even if the 360 version turns out 1 or 2 percent better looking than the PS3 version, while I'm playing the PS3 version I'll never know the difference, the game will still be looking great and I'll have no doubts that I'm playing the same game as owners of the 360 version.

The reasons I will be getting the PS3 version really comes down to the controller and the trophy system. I am much more addicted to trophies than achievements. After seeing my achievement gamerscore reach over 15,000 I just don't get any satisfaction from seeing that already high number reach any higher... but I'm still addicted to trophy-hunting. I guess I like the system better, that's all. Rather than just seeing an arbitrary number that keeps growing to unfathomable heights, I like to be able to see an exact number of each bronze, silver, gold, and platinum trophy that I've earned, and to increase my Trophy Level. So, I'm more interested in increasing those trophy numbers and my trophy level than getting a few hundred more measly gamerscore points tacked on to my 15,000.

And the controller is more important than the minute graphical differences because I've played every single Resident Evil game with a Dual Shock controller, and it's just what I feel comfortable doing with Resident Evil 5 all other things considered.

In summary, both versions of this game are shaping up awesomely and I can't wait to give it a go.

MNicholas - 365 days 9 hours ago

the 360 version looks much better.

Having said that, given the exceptional visual quality (incredible textures, shaders, polygon counts, lighting, etc with very solid frame-rates) of games like Uncharted, MGS4, etc., such a poor effort in creating the PS3 version is inexcusable. The old "we're trying to figure it out" is no longer valid. If people are paying $60 they deserve better than a rushed port. Shame on the developer for short-changing customers.

As the article points, xbox fanboys, the ps3 build is older and lacks some of the shaders and shadowing that the 360 build has. Let's reserve judgement until the final build comes out b4 you guys start pointing your pea shooters at the opposition.

@POG - If kz2 could be done on the 360, it would have come out by now. Afterall, the 360 did come out a YEAR earlier. where's 360's KZ2? Ninja blade? Don't think so.

To me it looks like the PS3 version hasn't gone through touch ups yet. There are bulidings without ridges and damage like the 360 version. And the clothing doesnt have the textures yet. I think this comparison shows the 360 version looks better but I don't believe the final build will have this much difference between both versions.

mm..... I saw both demos, and that "blurry" is fault of the ingame motion blur, remember the "blurry" in DMC4?

"An issue with the Xbox 360 version is the screen tearing. It rears its ugly head quite often on the Xbox 360."

"I haven't seen any screen tearing on the Playstation 3, but I have noticed more framerate dips on it compared to the couple of times it hits the 360. I assume that the Playstation 3 has v-sync enabled by default, thus rather than tearing the screen, you'll get frame drops."

"Another shot shows the lack of dust that kicks up on the 360 version from the majini."

and both versions got their pros and cons

"Here is another shot showing the lack of self shadowing on the Playstation 3. Note Sheva's headset, and hair."

did someone notice that the shadows on shevas are on but on the other char got shades on the PS3 version? looks like there are faults on both versions

then all these people "I can clearly see which version is better", actually no you cant! haha it really amazes me how idiotic people are here.

1) Only a fanboy will start pulling out differences out of his ass, and claim his version is superior. Real gamers will notice no difference, as there isn't.
2) Comparison videos are old, and not worth anything, considering multiplats now are all going to be the same pretty much.

COMPONENT CABLES AND a good HD TV = CRAP images, when compared to what you see when you run a game or Bluray movie with HDMI. I promise you the image will look night and day. The problem you have here is that not all 360's have the HDMI out. So get both demos up and running on systems that support HDMI and then take your screen shots. This entire thread of comments is pointless :)
