DiRT for PS3 to look and run better

Snake_Doctor - 856 days 12 hours ago

PS3 had been getting some jacked up ports in the past. I just hope it continues to get some pluses just like VF did for 360. I think it makes sense to improve a game after it releases late for a console as it would improve sales.

Actually most of the games that have arrived later on the PS3 suffered in quality with the exception of Oblivion & most recently R6V. Hearing that the framerate is improved for the PS3 version is the main plus in this case.

Saying RB6 look sbetter on PS3. It doesn't. I have played both.

RB6 looks the same on the PS3 as the 360 when played at 720P. 1080i on the PS3 looks bad, even the text is blurry. But in 720p the text and graphics are very clear.

Because it had more devtime, which is good

Those ugly blureffects (or "bloom-effects") on the 360 were removed (though the 1080i wil bring the blur back:D) which is a big plus

If DiRT wasn't looking better on PS3 despite the extra devtime I would never buy any game from Codemasters again...

Try to read some game engine book to know how it work before writing about it. PS3's is better and newer technology. Will not only be better on DIRT, lot others already are and soon you will get more reasons to trash your 360. Don't cry.

it doesnt matter anyways, sega is the only 3rd party developer that knows how to make kick @ss graphics on any system. Codemasters has always made sh1tty graphics on the xbox systems. they suck

Added dev time is always a plus, but if you watched the video, he states that things like uncompressed 7.1 surround sound were ONLY ACHIEVABLE on the PS3 -the 360 can't produce high-quality surround sound like that. Get used to it, within a year, the 360 will be getting the ports and all the best editions of games will be coming out on PS3.

...the best bit of information in that video. They have support for the G35 as well as the Driving Force Pro & Pro 2 steering wheels.

" Take my bubbles if you want you little piece of coward asscracks HAHAHAHAHAHAHA "

Imagine seeing that spray painted somewhere on the side of a bridge, or a building... lol

Anywhore...
I don't think anyone is saying that the PS3 is inferior to the XBOX 360.
Anybody with ANY technical knowledge knows that the PS3 has some amazing potential, and is a great piece of hardware.
With that said, we really cannot expect anything innovative or "mind blowing" for the PS3 unless it is a SONY exclusive.

The XBOX360 is powerful enough, and has more friendly developer tools so that developers have become comfortable with the XBOX 36o architecture, and rely on the extra power of the CELL processor to help when the game is ported over from the XBOX360 to run on the PS3.

Many of these games that go multiplatform aren't optimized for the PS3, so the developer does a little work as possible to get the game running acceptably on the PS3.

We will see more developers taking more time to code multiplatform titles for the CELL, but the XBOX360 has proven to be easier to build games for, so expect most developers to start working on the XBOX360 version first.

It kinda sux for the PS3, but you can't really blame the 3rd party developers when money is at stake.

ShiftyLookingCow - 856 days 11 hours ago

sajj316, here is another example, I want Burnout for my PS3,because I know its going to much better on it than 360,so I dont want Burnout PS3 to ship much later than the 360 version. It will be much better if developers release their titles simultaneously so we can choose the best. Dirt is going to better on PS3, but Tommie had no idea of it, he wanted to play it early so he got the 360 version and finished it, now it really doesnt matter a dime if PS3 version is better for him

due to Blu-ray diode shortages.. The devs had the kits at the same time as they did for the 360. Please get off this Cell and Blu-ray superiority trip, nobody is buying it.. I will say yes the Blu-ray can hold more space, but even that is answered with compression.

SlappyMcTaint - 855 days 20 hours ago

Did you ever think maybe if the devs apply that same compression to Blu-Ray then you have freakin MASSIVE games?!?! Think, xbot, think! Devs are already saying how quickly they're making full-use of Blu-Ray, and how their game would never fit on a dvd -and who wants multiple dvd's anymore? It's so last generation.

keep dreaming....DVD9 and an sku without a hardrive is not helping the 360. as time goes on these games will be getting bigger and bigger.

Why o why - 856 days 10 hours ago

with haze thats anybody's guess but it was built from the g up on ps3. With ut3, unless they include key n mouse support and allow mods then other than graphical tweaks i cant see it being better. And then theres always updates for the first released version of any game on any format.

maybe its spin from the devs because of the delays, only time will tell but the part about the uncompressed sound is something that will always be thorn in the 360,s side because of dvd9/no guaranteed hdd. As we move into hi def and surround systems these things will increase gamers immersion. Never underestimate great sound.

I didn't click disagree either...

but UT3 I think only has the potential to be equal or "better" in terms of graphics...and that is if Epic and Sony still don't get the engine optimized correctly...Interviews with Epic earlier this year made comments on how impressed they were with the PS3's hardware, but that it was taking more time than they thought to perfect...

but who knows...the 360 version may end up looking better...but MS still won't allow the user generated content to make it onto XBL...and anyone familiar with the UT and original Unreal series understands that that is a very bad thing...If the PS3 and PSN support this through Home, or however they claimed to do it, and MS does not...There is absolutely no way to say that the 360 version is better than the PS3, even if it looks slightly better...

and who knows about Haze...They are still being wierd about the other platforms...the websites shows nothing on the PC and 360 anymore...for whatever reason...

But UT3 has the potential to be the absolute best fps for consoles...bringing everything that made PC gaming like this so great...free mods...free map editing...It really suprises me that this game hasn't been getting a huge amount of attention...Even if I owned a 360, I would be all over this compared to Halo 3...This is the first thoroughbred franchise to go up against Halo on a console, aside from
Quake...and aside from the Q3 on the DC, they all sucked...

I'll bet M$ paid more bribe $$ to get the "free debugging", er, I mean beta testing only on 360. They waste their money on dumb stuff like that instead of fixing their console. Next will be the Viva Pinata-edition 360, and the Mass Effect 360... different on the outside, same faulty innards.

uh...I don't know if sales have slowed down considerably...but it sold extremely well its first couple of weeks...like over 500,000 or something on the 360 pretty quickly...One article said it, and Forza2 which was selling at a similar rate, were the fastest selling games since Gears...

it lacked something that motorstorm had. i'd say if you want to play dirt it aint worth buyting. if you've got a friend that has it play it there or just rent it when it comes out. but you aint missing much. Motorstorm is still the premire and perfect offroad racing game you'll be happy to own. just think what MStorm 2 will look like OMG

Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report

Kleptic - 855 days 13 hours ago

yeah I have only played the PC version...and it just seems floaty and not right...it looks great, easily on par with motorstorm in parts...except for the layer manipulation, where in Motorstorm you break through the crusty dirt to nasty mud underneath...nothing has touched that yet...

But motorstorm's online is far superior to Dirt's...Dirt has the equivalent of Motorstorm's recent Time attack update released a few weeks ago...where as Motorstorm lacks split screen (I don't know if the 360 version of dirt has this), but has the time attack leaderboard thing, and a true race against other people mode...which is fantastic...

Motorstorm shipped not quite complete...but through the updates has turned into one of the best arcade racing games on consoles right now...still...and next month they will finally release the new track and some new skins I guess...which to some might be nice...

I don't really care about this either, It's taking longer so it should look better and I already have it on Xbox, but why not just give credit where credit is due and let it slide.

Theres no reason to downplay this unless you're THAT insecure but I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.

First of all, I am an audiophile, so besides ps3 having SACD and blu-ray support, all of these games(this and killzone specifically), having uncompressed 7.1 surround, (the uncompressed being really appealing--i.e. better qual than dolby digital or DTS) is really pushing my buttons. I'm sure 99 percent of xbox people dont care about that, but that's just a different perspective I guess. You're right that these ports for ps3 have not been great, but if they come out later they do tend to get a lot better, such as oblivion. After E3 though, I think we are starting to see that the best quality games of all systems are ps3 non ports, Ie games developed first for the Ps3.
Also, don't you think that it is a little ironic that you have a ken logo as your avatar and super street fight II HD is coming out for Ps3? you might want to reconsider you're loyalties...

Warhawk beta was the first game I have played that had 7.1 uncompressed TrueHD sound...and holy crap...That is the single place where absolutely no other video game device can even come close to the PS3...A TOW missle slowly burning from behind, over your head, and then wrecking the other teams base in 7.1 surround sound is one of the coolest things I have ever heard in a video game...
