Oh god, not comparism again. There is barely any difference. Who got both consoles buy on which you have most friends online and/or prefer controller.

Also this comparism sucks nerfing PS3 for not having rumble. A lot of people have DS3 already.

Also PS3 has an alternative controller for FPS which makes X360 controller looks like a noobcake. FragFX.

to be 100% honest from those screens i can't see any difference. except ps3 handles lighting a little differently like the devs said. 360 has more color but that doesn't really matter to me

OMG who disagreed?

ok you are right there is a HUGE DIFFERENCE! OMG ITS LIKE AMIGA VS A SUPER COMPUTER!

You disagreed to buying the version which you have more friends online and you prefer the controller?

yay for disagree bots

Mouse > Joypad for FPS by millions. Joypad can never be better then mouse in FPS.

Maybe you are getting disagree's because you talking about the FragFX and how it makes a 360 controller for n00bs which is BS.

I've got the exact same controller from split fish. I haven't really had a chance to use it much though(been playing alot of NHL08 and just picked up MLB08). But this game might be just the thing to give my FragFX the workout she so desperately desires.

As far as these comparisons go, I'm really getting tired of them. The differences are so minute at this point, I mean is it really worth it. Just more fuel to the fire, I guess(flame on!).

Game looks almost exactly the same on both consoles. Good job Ubisoft, no need for a flame war.

How does the FragFX handle, because I have been seriously thinking about it, Cause FPS's on console with a gamepad is not my cup of tea.
For RTS and FPS, I gotta have me a mouse.

Why do ps3 games always look brighter than the xbox game in these comparisons?

It's call hardware difference, like how different TVs have their own native setting for brightness/gamma. It is up to the users to change that TV setting to what they see fit.

I refuse to get to petty squabbles over comparisons like this anymore. The games look virtually identical.Whats to fight over.

Most of them are virtually the same, but the Xbox 360 again looks like someone cranked the contrast too high (for my liking) and the skin tones look washed out. I'm normally on the fence about these comparisons, but for this one my two cents is - the PS3 looks better.

...not that I plan to buy it anyways.

I was thinking I was the only one to notice that. Some comments on here are saying the 360 version looks better, but to my eyes (from the screen shots) they either look identical, or in two of the screen shots, the ps3 had better color, and in the thermal, was more fluid without the color banding. I will be picking this up for the 360 however. Not because the 360 has feedback because I own a DualShock for the PS3, but because of all my friends. I enjoyed the original Vegas on the 360 and two of my friends are already playing vegas2 (the lucky jerks)! I am hoping to find a copy tonight or tomorrow so I can join them.

The PS3 version has less jaggies and looks smoother but as usual the colours are washed out.

The Xbox 360 version looks more colourful but has jaggies in some areas now this is something I cannot understand, the 10mb of EDRAM is supposed to offer up free anti aliasing so am confused to see why jaggies still exist in Xbox 360 games.

Both versions have their ups and downs on the graphics so I call a tie not as different as the first game but I wish they had used a HDMI Xbox 360 in their comparison.

Why cant you just look at them and call them the same... Theres basically no difference unless you have a magnifying glass.

It doesn't matter to me, but it actually is visible without much inspection.
The PS3 has better AA, but I would say more skin toned colors than washed out, while 360 version's color is a lot brighter, but less AA. I would compare it as 2xAA for 360 and 4xAA for PS3.
Other than that they're both the same, epecially where it counts....the gameplay.

It's very hard to tell what the games look like judging from screenshots. Most games give you a different impression when you see them running live, on a tv.

You cannot judge a game purely by the screenshots. So obviously your 'opinion' is invalid. The reviewer compared both consoles side by side. And after thoroughly going over the graphics/sound/gameplay he has come to the conclusion that the 360 version is better.

Sure you can go off an buy extra peripherals for the ps3, that may make it equivalent to the obviously superior 360 version (even though the p3 costs more then the 360 to begin with) but that is defeating the point of the comparison since you can also buy more peripherals for the 360 as well.

Its obvious as day to me that the 360 is the better console in this war, you guys just have to suck it up... you bought a machine due to the hype of its "specs".. the mysterious cell.. and now you have to pay for your naivety. Sony did the same thing last generation with the ps2 hyping up the 'emotion engine', making everyone believe it was superior, but we all know dreamcast was the superior console graphically. Only trouble is that there are a lot of suckers in this world that bought into the ps2. This generation people are more intelligent, that is why sony is loosing.

It has been 2 years.. Just admit it already.. the 360 is better for gaming, it has better framerates and better exclusives and it is cheaper. Sony has lost this generation, the only reason it is around is because it has blueray, and its endless promises to one day be something 'equivalent', and of course the suckers that believe in it.

3.5 - xbox 360 clearly is superior
I agreen with adalwolfe, the 360 is clearly the better system with the best games. Gamers need to open their eyes the ps3 is not what sony claim it would be.

Well that's the point of a comparison, so people can share their opinions before the game is released and you can make a more educated decision buying it.

I own both consoles, and I know I shouldn't Bring up COD4 cause its not the same game at all, but I have COD4 for both and I still prefer the PS3 version, I've owned a 360 for almost 2 years now and I will probably continue to play exclusive stuff on it, but to say the 360 version is better for this game its just crazy. I used to believe the 360 version of any game would be far better than the PS3's because the PS3 got crappy ports of the games, until I bought a PS3 and played COD4 for it. Its the same game for both like COD4 is for both. But if you want the opinion of a guy that has been die hard 360 fan and has just recently purchased a PS3, (keep in mind only owning COD4 for PS3) I'd pick up the PS3 version.

5.3 - thank you
Man, I was worried I had bad taste by not liking this game. My brother got the first one when he just got his PS3 and to me the game was boring. I didnt like the missions and the gameplay but since everyone talked so much about it I though that maybe I hadnt really found out the real fun in the game but never really wanted to bother. For those who do like it cool but I am one of those that didnt like the first one so I also wouldnt be getting the second one. But this game is looking better just not my type of gameplay. Im waiting for GTA IV.

whats the point, comparing crap with crap. they are both the same...CRAP ! I think RB6 was a good franchise, but it has lost its way and its quality in recent times.

ever since black arrow ( if i remember right ).

6 - Could care less if the 360 version is better
The game looks the same if not worse than the original. And look at those draw distances. I'm sorry, this game is fairly rushed and probably was meant to capitalize on the popularity of shooters out right now like COD 4.

Nothing to date is better than COD 4, still tons of fun and will only get better with the new maps.

8 - I'm glad to see the ps3 is getting closer
The 360 won every category, but the ps3 is getting closer they say.

*edit* either a 360 fan isn't happy that the ps3 is getting closer, or a ps3 fan is just upset it lost in every category. Blind disagree's are so funny! Get a grip folks.

I know I'm new to this forum, but I've been reading for quite some time now. How come Your words ooze with viral intent(like a snakes venom slowly entering the system, systematically shutting it down until it ultamitly dies). You like so many others on this site are a rash(an irritation) I can scratch, but never seem to get rid of. Why don't you throw on a helmet and play with the cars on the freeway.

the PS3 IS miles ahead in hardware. it just depends who makes the games. first party games and exclusives are the titles that can prove this. uncharted had amazing graphics. killzone 2, MGS4, FFXIII (and versus), etc. will blow any 360 game straight out of the water.

8.9 - 360
The thing that people dont understand is this, when you buy a ps3 you are supposedly buying the most advanced and powerfull system outhere that was supposed to be twice as powerfull as the 360 according to sony and because of this justifying its 600 dollar price when it first came out. Is it true??? ofcourse not!! that year advantage sony had to improve its hardware didnt help a bit, hell most 3rd party ps3 games are having problems matching xbox360 graphics.Now do you believe the ps3 to be twice as powerfull?? reality is this, both systems are about the same with some advantages and disadvantages but if i had to choose it will clearly be the 360 but i still believe the ps3 has potential with some AAA games to be released later this year.
Another thing, please ps3 fans stop saying uncharted is the best looking console game to date cause it isnt.

As long as rumble isn't standard and 360 have achievements he will declare it the winner.
