I really feel that the devs did a really crappy job with the PS3 version. I mean even when you can't pull out an equal looking version when you use the PS3 as a lead platform just speaks tons of the talent the devs have.. I don't care about the game since I am not a big ghostbuster fan, but I really feel the devs should have done a better job at it.

Especially looking through all the recent multi plats looking nearly identical (RE5, SF4,UFC.. Even better for PS3 in case of Prototype and RFG), this ones a bummer.It mainly ends up on how talented the dev is to handle the PS3. I mean look at all the multiplats by EA,Capcom.... All look so identical, one has to strain his eyes to look out for differences.

lol... @omega below... Wow now he is like a kid in a candy shop.. Trust me, he will also post that FF13 will also look better on the 360...LMAO. Poor chap always resorting to 'But teh 360 multi plats have one extra pixel than the PS3 version'. Ya Omega keep telling yourself that till the next 360 exclusive arrives.

EDIT: Lol.. Hey pumpkinpunker did a pumpkin land on your head? 360 is more powerful LMFAO... Ya check Uncharted 2,GOW3 and Heavy Rain videos and then say that.

"We're running the same game for both platforms but if we made a PS3-only game, for example, you could double the amount of objects on screen that you're seeing," stated Randel. "The PlayStation 3 has seven processors and the 360 only has three, so seven versus three means you can do a lot more on the PS3. We're keeping the game the same over both platforms so we don't want to take out any features."

Dude.
Did you read the article?

Apparently the developers HAD TO hype the ps3 so that sony (who owned the rights) would allow the title to be developed in the first place!
what a way to own yourself, Sony!

Don't believe me? Here's the quote:

'So why the mix up between what Terminal Reality said during development and the final product? Of course, the team said a lot about objects on-screen, rather than textures and resolution, but that's surely pulling the wool over our eyes. A PSU.com interview might highlight the reason for complimenting the PS3 version of the game; pressure from Sony Pictures who owns the film's rights:
"Sony and the talent were adamant that before they got involved with a Ghostbusters game, the tech had to be capable of providing an authentic Ghostbusters experience, and that required graphics and physics tech," Terminal Reality Executive Producer Brendan Goss told PSU.'

All those who disagree, please bear in mind, that this is, in fact, what the article is saying.

Don't shoot the messenger.

The PS3 is clearly capable of more than this. My guess is they put equal resources on the 360 and PS3. Realized how powerful the PS3 is, then screwed up when it was complicated to finish the product. Is this the studios first PS3 game?

However, it would be interesting to see a comparison of personnel resources needed on both 360 and PS3 to achieve the same result.

In this Dr. Dobbs Journal article, for simple Breadth First Search algorithm (this is taught in lower division introductory Datastructure courses and is extremely simple to program) it took 20 times (1200 lines) as much code as required on the x86 (only 60 lines). The performance? About 22x faster. The issue, the difficulty in splitting and synchronizing (a mechanism to organize access to data, not the traditional meaning) the work. Now this doesn't necessarily apply to everything, but certainly gives you an idea.

The state of gaming is so sad. Who really gives a fvck! I mean seriously are you going to play both at the same time next to each other. I've been playing for three days now on the Ps3 and althought the graphics aren't the best this gen the game is really fun and the story is awesome! If you are a Ghostbusters fan then buy it or rent it but make sure you play it! Lots of great set pieces and cool gameplay. Definitely not just a money grab. buy the version on the console you own or if you own both buy the version your friends are on (it has online) and have fun. Geeshh people these days are soooo anal.

The difference is not enough hurt the fun you will have playing this game people so don't fall for these flame BS articles!

-This doesn't surprise me. We see the same thing time and time again. The ps3 is around the same power as the 360, but it is much more difficult to work with, which results in most games looking worse on the ps3. According to some devs it takes nearly twice as much work getting the ps3 versions up to the level of the 360. And from what I have seen they almost never achieve it. Sure, a couple of first party ps3 exclusives manage to look as good as the better games on the 360, but the vast majority of games look or run better on the 360. It's time to start admitting that the ps3 isn't nearly as powerful as Sony has led us to believe.-

"It's time to start admitting that the ps3 isn't nearly as easy to develop for as Sony has led us to believe.-"

-Fixed.

It's already proven it's power and ability to allow more action on screen than what the 360 is capable of, now it's time for the devs to step up and learn the PS3's architecture. I mean KZ2 only took as long as it did because they made themselves their own game engine while developing the game. It's hard to understand why others won't take the time to learn cause once they do it'll be cake. God, they act like it's an unsolvable puzzle.

I see Sonys first party developers pushing out awesome looking games in 2 years or less which is around the time frame for a game to be made.

Sure multiplat games may take longer considering they have to develop for two systems instead of concentrating on the one, but if they don't want to take the time to learn how to use the power given to them then don't make the freaking game in the first place. I'd rather wait instead of being force fed this pile of crap.

EDIT: Yea I know guys, it's hard to face facts...poor fanboys. I too play games with a magnifying glass by my side sitting only inches away from the screen so I can one up those Sony droids when I find that shred of screen tearing or a lesser quality shadow.

No it hasn't, Jaces. The PS3 has only shown that in ideal circumstances it can have games that look just as good as the best 360 games.

The fact that Guerrilla and Naughty Dog have the talent and the manpower to push through and create fantastic looking games is great for the PS3, but the reality is that most developers have neither the time or the money to invest in overcoming the inefficiencies of the PS3's design.

Hell, not even all 1st party Sony developers are able to make outstanding looking games. I can think of more than a few PS3 exclusives that are fairly average looking.

I agree with you somewhat.

Some may not have the time or manpower to learn the PS3 but from what I've seen in a lot of multiplats, this has to be the worst. I just don't understand how bad it turned out.

A lot of the others were mere jaggies or slightly darker here and there, hardly noticeable in comparisons.

My point overall though is that the PS3 has the power but that doesn't mean the developers have the skill to tap that power which blows. It's a hiccup, yea, but it's a learning curve and hopefully devs will get more comfortable with the PS3 in time seeing how it will be around for a bit.

The bit about the some PS3 exclusives looking average...I've yet to come across an average looking exclusive. All have been amazing, some more than others but not average. Although that's your opinion so this is mine.

"look at dead space, lead platform on ps3 and looked better than 360"

Another myth spread by ps3 fans. Dead Space in fact looked about the same on both machines, but the 360 version had a much more solid frame rate than the ps3 version.

Here is what Eurogamer said in their comparison:
"Despite some pretty frank comments from the Dead Space developers that working with the Sony console was 'challenging', the internet has spoken and apparently the project led on PS3 for some or all of its gestation. A cursory look at the game itself reveals that although the conversion isn't bad at all, it's very clear indeed that Dead Space is first and foremost an Xbox 360 game."
"For those with both consoles, the more stable frame-rate makes the 360 build the one to have. There are platform-exclusive downloads - costumes and the like - but the smoother, more responsive 360 gameplay experience gives it the edge."

In fact, so far on metacritic the slightly blurred textures have only accounted for 1 percent difference in the metacritic score.

Since when is that a game breaker?
I'm downplaying because ultimately a few blurry textures DON'T MATTER! Christ, if graphics were everything they wouldn't sell a single Wii game vs the PS3/360.

IGN gave the PS3 graphics a 8.5.
IGN AU, who are notoriously hard to please also gave the graphics of the PS3 version an 8.5. "This isn't the prettiest game ever (although it does run at 1080p which is nice), but the powerful physics engine is crucial to the action feeling authentic."
In fact, of the myriad of positive reviews up, the biggest criticism of the games seems to be that it's easy and sometimes the graphics range from "good" to "average for what we can expect to see from next gen games".

As I mentioned before - if you want to buy it on the 360, buy it on the 360. You make it sound like the damn things unplayable on the PS3. Personally, I'm not going to be playing the PS3 and 360 version side by side anyway. I'll get it on my PS3 because I don't trust my 360 hardware and to me that's far more of a concern then "does this particular game have a slightly blurred texture vs the other version".

You can SDF up your own ass. I play games, I don't care which console they're on. It's people like you that ruin these gaming spaces for everyone with your ridiculous, console wars obsession.

You simply can't admit it to yourself!
Thus how can you possibly admit it to anyone else!

You keep throwing out Sony defence regular as clockwork, yet when i come along and offer some straight-up reality, you back into a corner and once again proclaim yourself the innocent gamer!

Let me help you with some more facts.
In the ps3 version:
- reduced resolution to 540p
- reduced textures
- inferior quincux AA
- blur filter/vaseline effect

Judging by the heat surrounding the two stories on GB it looks like hundreds of 360 and ps3 users are flabberghasted at this poor ps3 GB showing, despite the darkrider damage control effort.

I am personally very disappointed that this game, which was led on ps3, can only manage to run at 540p on ps3, while running beautifully at 720p, with better AA, better textures and better clarity on the 360.

Aren't you always saying that the ps3 is much more powerful?
It is 2009, darkie. How is this all even possible?

Do you see anywhere where I say the PS3 version isn't the inferior version? Do you?
No. In fact, I stated quite clearly before in my comments that if you have a choice it sounds like the 360 version is the way to go.

The difference is that I'm not an idiot. I know that one version being slightly better doesn't suddenly mean the other version is crap, or like you said "ps3 fans must feel like dolts for forking out more money..." blah blah blah.

Clearly, based on the bulk of reviews, this is a good/great game that should be played on whichever console you own. If you were a gamer and not Sony hate-monger, that would mean something to you.

If you watch the video from the Lensoftruth guys you'd clearly see that both versions in action look like a blast.

Edit Below. Of course the landscape of multiplats has changed. One game doesn't simply negate that fact. The idea that PS3 games are gimped is a lie, and metacritic backs that up. Even recent sites like lensoftruth back me up. Half the games they compared are slightly better or the same on the PS3, half are slightly better on the 360.

Slight texture differences and the occasional jaggie don't ruin a game, on either console. They certainly don't mean that all PS3 multiplats are gimped. If you were a gamer, you'd know that. Clearly, you've drunk too deeply of the console wars Kool-Aid and there's no reasoning with you anymore.
Pity.

Of course i don't give up.

I find it very difficult to accept that you are taking the 'gamer' stance, when for months and months you have kept on and on about the ps3's power and the changing nature of multiplats on ps3 since 2007.
It really seems that you flip-flop between the 'no.1 sony fan' and 'innocent-gamer' whenever it suits you.

I seem to recall you telling me that the multiplat landscape has changed and ps3 multiplats would start to look better, especially since many were being led on ps3.

I just like to see you eat some humble pie, darkie - I think you need it.
Because getting you to admit ps3 multiplats have been, and are still, gimped, is more difficult than extracting teeth without anaesthetic.

Ghostbusters is a prime example, it being a 2009, ps3-led game.
I am eagerly awaiting Tekken6 and Crysis comparisons.

get ready.

He's trying to claim that all PS3 multiplats are gimped. There isn't a soul out there that truly believes that. Certainly professional reviewers don't believe that as even a cursory glance at metacritic will prove.

I love my 360 just as much as the next guy, but this console wars crap needs to stop. Are you seriously throwing in with his lot? There's a reason it appears he's been recently banned to the open zone. It's because he's just trolling.

It's like arguing with chimps sometimes...

@Darkride

Of course all PS3 multi-platform games are not necessarily "gimped", but the majority are demonstrably inferior. That is beyond dispute.

How about we let the remainder of the generation ride out before we compare graphic capabilities.

Neither console are leaps and bounds above the other one so it honestly doesn't matter either way.

Maybe not to you, but those of us with eyes can tell the PS3 is far ahead of the 360 in terms of graphics.

@mgoelite: No, I can't show anything better than Uncharted2, that's the beauty of it. Imagine what they could have done with a stronger graphics chip, tho..

@maverick:
Sony's consistently pushing with quality, it's devs really have to push the boundaries of the system, that's why we have so many quality titles. MS however does not have to prove itself, it has franchises that simply sell.

As for my Nvidia comment, I was closely following Nvidia and ATI news for their DirectX10 cards way back between 2005-2007. Nvidia was constantly stating, during 2006, that unified architecture was too early, that their DX10 would be hybrid, all the while stating their "suspicion" at ATI's unified Xenos.. Here's for you to read:
http://www.xbitlabs.com/new...

In november 2007, however, they unveiled *working* directX10 cards, with, ahem, *unified architecture*. Here's the link:
http://ixbtlabs.com/article...

It was a TOTAL departure from the old ways. Now, anybody should know that they could not have changed their core design in a year. This wasn't a progress in design. It was in the work for *years*, all the while they could play "safe" with Sony, and give them their old arcitechture, and all the while they expressed their doubts about the unified arcitecture.

It probably was their corpororate game, they wouldn't accept that unified was the way to go, because they have to dump their 7xxx architecture in our beloved PS3.

That, my friends, is why I am pissed at Nvidia, and not the multiplatform devs.
