Britjadg - 560 days 22 hours ago

yeah tree split looks good. looks impressive on both, dunno whats going on with ps3 version though, summit dont look right with colour. probably just way its filmed / tv is configured.

what does it matter? pick up the game for whatever console you have.

where are the articles about how broken the connections issues are? When is Dice and EA going to get on it? It will work flawless for a few hours and then BLAM you get booted from the game and can't connect for hours.

It works. Then it doesn't. Then you can connect, get booted (after a few minutes), connect, get booted, connects, get booted, runs fine four hours, rinse and repeat. WTF!

I want to play this game online! The odd thing is it seems to happen more during the day. You would think the problem would be worse at night when everyone is off work.

I really, really wish they would do video comparaison like those, but saying A and B (for about 2 days) instead of 360 and PS3.

Instead of seeing fanboish comment like: Version A look WAY MUCH BETTER or Version B as way more leaves in the 4th tree on the left, we would finally get comments like: Wow, both version look almost identical. No fanboy would take a chance to pick one version over the other. Then, 2 days later, those guys could say which console was A and which console was B. Only a fanboy, looking at this video, would say one version is WAY MUCH BETTER than the other.

Personally, I don't care if one tree has more leaves or not, or if one explosion has to more sparks. While playing, I don't have the time to count leaves. Both game look very, very good. Keep bringing them on.

P.S.: There's one more peeble on the ground, around 1 minute 37 seconds and 12 hundred of a second, but you have to freeze frame to see it. ENJOY! Me, I'll be playing the game!

how this gamer site when doing video comparing they always seen to turn off the PS3 RGB FULL RANGE(HDMI). i have both the PS3 and the 360, just got a 360 to play lost odyssey lol and have play both demo. believe you me both game looks and play the same, only different is my ps3 has RGB FULL RANGE so both looks the same.

@power of green: every game is going to look better for you on the 360 bro, let face it you a 360 fanboy. i read almost all you comments here on N4G and all you ever talk about is how the 360 better, how the 360 more power, how the 360 this and that, etc...its hard to imagine you every saying anything good about the PS3 ever. after being here on N4G so long and reading you comments they have become boring and repetitive to the point that they sound like advertisements for the 360, just how much is Microsoft paying for?

chasuk08 - 560 days 16 hours ago

I still dont understand why we are doing frame by frame comparisons of ps3 and 360 versions of games to look at minimal brightness and contrast settings and then claim that one is better than the other due to a slight increase. Dont you all think its kind of sad ?

They are the same game regardless of what platform its on, and any increase/decrease in brightness shouldnt be a reason not to buy it, and if it is your a joke.

Just buy the game and enjoy it. All these videos do is attract viewers to their site and get alot of gamers arguing over "which platform is better"

if they didn't configure the TV, that means they didn't configure it for the 360 either, so now what is your excuse? Games look better on 360, why is that so hard to beleive, why do people literally make excuses for an inferior product? If graphics are so important to you, then just buy as 360. PS3 exclusives still look great, so whats the big deal?

But you're right that the PS3 version looks much better than it does in the demo on this site. It does seem with adjustments to the TV the PS3 can look as good, but if you have to make adjustments for each game or for gaming and then for when you go back to TV, that's a pain.

shazam - 560 days 21 hours ago

First of all do you really think the developers would spend all that time and money making new, lower res textures for the ps3 version? They use the exact same textures. Besides, texture resolution isn't even that important for making a surface look good. What's important is the shader programs that go on the surface. Without shaders there would be no normal maps, specular maps, parallax maps, reflections, or refractions etc. Without shaders he surface would be just like looking at a flat, fuzzy, low res bitmap image. And the developers would not spend time writing new, less expensive shaders for the ps3 version. The shader program is just recompiled to run on the two GPUs. Since they are two different architectures the pixel comes out slightly different on each. Even if you ran Crysis on two PCs that are identical other than one has a Radeon HD4870 and the other has Geforce GTX280, even with all the same settings, the two screens would look slightly different. The GPUs simply have different ALUs for pixel processing and different algorithms for anti aliasing and so on.

Secondly, the games use the exact same physics code. And particle physics processing scales extremely on virtually every type of processor from the 360's Xenon to ps3's Cell and even graphics processors. My point is that no developer would have any problems getting physics to run on the SPUs, in fact they are extremely well suited for it and it is one of their strong points.

The fact is that you are an outright fanboy. Actually more like a fanbaby. Scratch that you are most like a fanweed. That's it fanweed.

As part of your fanweed ability set you have this strange ability to hallucinate better graphics on your favorite console. Man I wish I could do that.

As for RPG's vs Tanks. I know they purposely made the tanks tough against RPG's so it will take a good 2 or 3 hits to kill one but that was to keep the demolition class from being too powerful. Also, all the tanks...especially the light tanks have vulnerable spots where the armor is lighter (see backside of light tank) and should allow for 2 hit kills.

What do destructable ENVIRONMENTS (at least get the first letter right, please.) have to do with tanks? Tanks take 2-3 hits to destroy so the game is more balanced. How would you benefit tactically from driving a tank and only being able to shoot off a couple rounds before being taken out by a single rocket (which are much easier to get than tanks)?

clintos59 - 560 days 6 hours ago

In a real war a missile launcher is more then enough to take out a tank. Atleast make it 2 shots and the tank is dead. Because it just seems unfair when u hit a direct hit on the tank and then while u are reloading the tank turns around and kills u. That doesnt seem fun at all, especially if u are trying to catch a base and they have tanks gaurding the areas. I think everything else in this game is awesome but they need to change the missile launcher to 2 shots and the tank is dead. I just got off playing it again online and shot the tank 3 times direct hit and didnt kill it. I am the one who got killed for blowing my cover. They need to fix that.

any way, the game looks great on both... beside's from color 'adjustments' on the ps3 no real big difference; such as framerates.

Who says it's superior hardware? Yeah, BluRay has more storage, but it doesn't make the game look or run better. The 360 versions of games consistently look better.

Some games look identical, but this looks WAY better on the 360. Look at the ground and the detail in it. Also, the 360 is a lot more clear. Did you notice during the vehicle scene that there were bushes in places on the 360 version where there were none at all in the PS3 version?

With the superior RAM and graphics card in the 360, it's no wonder most games look better on the system.

360 definitely wins this one...(EDIT...nevermind)

but seriously...real question...why don't 360 exclusives EVER show an edge on the PS3 exclusives?...Gears is still the best looking 360 exclusive there is...and it doesn't even look as good as the rushed UT3 on the PS3...

Angry...you talk about 'superior ram and gpu' for the 360...why is that only applicable to multiplat games?...cod 4 is the best looking 360 game period...and it looks identical to the PS3 version (don't even bring up that crap texture BS...they look the same...they run the same...and both are well below HD)...

I am not arguing...just curious...the PS3 gets 1st party exclusives that wreck UE3...and got a 3rd party exclusive that makes every game this generation seem like a joke so far...whats that about?...

call me crazy...but this sounds very PS2 vs. Dreamcast'ish...the DC won a lot of multiplatform comparisons...yet was graphically maxed out in its first year on the market...seriously...some of the DC's best looking games were first generation titles...you could argue that that is exactly what is happening with the 360...

EDIT:...this was posted lower in this thread...Why does this paint an entirely different picture between the two versions?...this HD vid clearly gives the PS3 an edge...further justifying how multiplat comparisons are pointless...

Kleptic, 3rd party, multiplatform games are the solid majority of games, probably 90% or more. Out of all of those multiplatform games, the 360 has outperformed the PS3 in most.

The most impressive exclusive out so far is definitely MGS4, in almost every way. It's downright breathtaking. GOW 2 will be the new measuring stick in terms of graphics though. GT already said it looks better than Killzone 2.

the reason it looks different in there review is because of what most people have not understood about the PS3 since it has come out..

There is an adjust color option on the PS3 to adjust the RGB to full instead of limited-(the default setting).

When adjusted to full the PS3 and X360 look exactly alike just like in that video you just posted of the gametrailers review.

Here is a video for further proof - http://www.youtube.com/watc...

The truth is the game looks and plays the same on both systems - finally it looks like where getting to a point where this will no-longer be an issue and you can just buy the game for whatever system you like.
