In complete agreement. I've used UE3 in my game dev courses and even at the lowest level natively supported by the engine, it's still shiny as hell.

UT3 is a game for those of you who like no nonsense shoot every one in sight kind games. The game is kind of nice for a couple of weeks

As for the comparisons i expected a bigger leap in graphics for UT3 360. The game is almost 8 months older than PS3 build and development on 360 started first before sony struck their deal. Plus with epic optimizing UE3 significantly since then we were supposed to be seeing some gears of war 2 type graphics in the game. All it does is 360 version has better lighting in some areas and thats it.

Graphics are exactly the same as far as i can see

The game was used at E3 '05 to demonstrate the power of the PS3. 360 development started much later. It stopped when MS and Epic couldn't agree on mods. I did think they would have done more with the 360 version too though. I believe Epic has been less than honest about the progress of the games development on the 360 though. I think they pushed the date back because they wanted more time to try to get MS to except mods. I believe the 360 version was finished long before the PS3 version. If I remember right, the PC version had to wait on the PS3 version for release. The 360 version is not that different than the PC version in development terms. I know that it wouldn't have taken this much longer to make it.

It's a pointless comparison anyway. The first 1/3rd of the video is comparing a pre-recorded video to another pre-recorded video that might even just be the same damn video. I don't think the morons doing the comparison videos know that those weren't in engine cutscenes.

Agree(8) | Disagree(1) | Report

shazam - 530 days 2 hours ago

the first part that was comparing the cutscene was pointless. in fact i bet that it was the exact same video file on both disks. (its not real time)

secondly this game will get old so quick. it lasted me about two weeks. then every sweet mod that came out breathed new life into the game. but there hasn't been any mods lately so there it is again collecting dust. i dont see how this wil last long on the 360 with no mods.

player911 - 529 days 22 hours ago

I did notice that environmental effects were absent in the PS3 version (rain, snow, lava dust, etc)

That video comparison was horrible anyway. There was only 1 or 2 scenes that played exactly the same... but they played 1 right after another instead of side by side.

The only thing I could see aside from the weather effects was the graphics looked blurrier on the PS3 and the contrast was adjusted and the image was sharper on the 360.

I dunno. I LOVE the UT series and have owned every single game up until this point. The PC demo is all I have because the lack of user created content in the 360 version blows it for me.

360 for the cuscene, but only because its darker. other than that no cutscene difference. i didnt see a gameplay difference execpt for liking the weapon models on the more. also mods for ps3 version = pwnage. anyways, i have this and dont play much thanks to COD4 and MGS4..

shazam - 530 days 2 hours ago

the cutscene is not real time. its a video! the exact same video on both disks. if you play it on a hdtv you would notice that the cutscene is slightly blocky because of video compression.

the ONLY, I repeat ONLY, difference between the two versions is that the ps3 version is slightly brighter or the 360 version is slightly darker; as usual.

whenever i see these video comparisons, i look at the game im playing, and go "wow, mine looks insanely better. way more color depth and contrast." These comparisons are pretty useless, unless its done with identical hardware, on its best settings. (same tv, HDMI 1.3, and every feature turned on). Then you can decide which one looks better. Of course, it still looks best on PC, but what can you expect from PC game makers?

I can't really tell if they did it or not but you can change the type of post processing used with the PlayStation 3. The three opions are Vivid, Intense, Muted, or Default. You'll see a difference with colour dramatically and overall look.

I wonder if that's present on the XBOX 360 version.

user generated mods are the best part and they really make this game special. w/o them it would be something you'd play for maybe a month, if that and be done with it. The campaign blows [as it always does], and the online doesn't offer enough content on it's own to be worth while. It's really the user generated content that drives this game, and gives it value along w/ playability long term... It's easily the best part of Unreal Tournament. Well mods and the fact it is an excellent fast paced frag fest...

I think comparisions like this are pointless because the same are suppose to be the same. How come gaming websites can't be more like Reviews on the Run (Judgment Day) when they do their versus hosted by Victor Lucas and Tommy Tallarico. They do versus with different games like for example GRID vs. NASCAR 09, instead of determining which version of the same game is best on a console.

I'm sorry but a gaming PC is not used for gaming only. It can used for millions of things that consoles can never do.

But you're still a kid. You stated you spent your childhood playing Pokemon. you wouldn't afford a PC so you just hate it.

PC > Consoles and MORE WORTH IT

iamtehpwn - 530 days 5 hours ago

If I can buy a Ps3, a Wii, and a 360 (400 + 250 + 400 = 1050 + tax), not to mention, I bought all of these within roughly 1 years time.

Yes, I play pokemon, and I'm 17, so yeah, I guess you could say I'm still a kid.

But I'll tell you one thing. It's funny how I may still be a kid, but I know way more about the industry, and How PC gaming isn't making any money because It's less economical for a mainstream audience to spend roughly $800-1500 for a decent Gaming PC, in comparison to a Console, $250-400.

On top of which, An even larger audience than that still plays their games at 480i, and many are satisfied with 720/upscaled 1080.

You can't tell me Paying That much money is worth it to play virtually the same games I'm getting on Consoles, but with just Higher Resolutions and better AA, maybe slightly improved textures.

In other words, if you factor all these things together, it becomes more practical for developers to make games on consoles. That's why, per year, Consoles get more AAA exclusives (exclusive per console, or simply to consoles) than PC does, not to mention Piracy being very easy to do on A Pc. Thus, PC gaming is on a declined, for even more reasons than this.

so learn your fan faved industry =P

Your pc should run this game at higher rez, otherwise it must be a pretty poor pc.lol.

But on a pc, you really need 2gb ram for higher rez. At least a dual core. and at least a 7series or 1900xt, or higher. 8800gt-etc.

Point is, on a console, it looks and runs very good for a system with alot less ram, etc. And costs alot less.

The graphics are the same, the frame-rate is the same and it was a fast port as well (ie. it took only 7 months to port the PS3 version to the 360 version since work only started after the PS3 version was released).

Sorry you are not that smart Snuka. Qore = OXM except the disk always works. I prefer nice Hi-res movies - it is why I have a PS3 and a 52 inch Sony XBR. I also have a 360 but it's image quality for multimedia is hardly on par with a PS3. Games, as we see in this comparison are also looking better on the PS3.

Your post is the simple words of a bitter loser on the downside of supporting a console from last gen. Too bad. I am enjoying laughing at you as you scream and twist in the wind like a hanged man who didn't drop far enough for a quick snap and a dirtnap. Quite humorous actually. Since it only requires a click to get here, that price of admission is worth watching you make a public spectacle of yourself as you come apart at the seams.

And why shouldn't we compare games that are already out. After all you are already stating what the sales numbers will be. Or did you forget saying that because it was convenient? And since you were already boasting of the graphical prowess of Gears2 then it deserves a headshot and Resistance2 is a 50Cal API Boattail.

If you can call sales numbers on a game not yet out with no idea of relevant hard data of how it will sell, I can certainly make a video comparison having been provided plenty of video evidence by Epic and MS.

Such a comparison is especially relevant since it has been the source of untold chest beating by the dying 360 community. And for goodness sakes, have the moral honesty to admit you are a 360 fanboy. I admit I am a Sony fanboy and the vitriol in my 360 comments does not begin to approach the level of relentless hatred you express for all people and all things Sony. And don't even bother to deny it unless you can find a way to magically delete all records of your past posts. That's right. You actually had the unmitigated gall to say it isn't true but the fact is you are a fanboy so stop pretending.

Everyone should take the opportunity to peruse your past comments and witness the sheer volume of unmitigated adolescent angst that peppers your anti Sony remarks. Which is by the way anything you have to say.

I lost count after the 10th time you called someone a droid, said they were full of horsesheit(your redneck spelling), told them they were morons, or attacked some Sony product. I really like how you have a special hatred for MGS4. Sucks not having the new bar in game development on your 360 gumball machine, doesn't it.

And like any fanboy on the losing end, watching you kick and gasp for breath is bona fide entertainment. Snukadaman is at the end of the day, just Snukadaangry15yearold.

One.....im paying for the option to play games that are better then playing it on the free service.....Two...there something called inside xbox that has the exact same thing as qore...exclusive videos...news..hints on games and cheat codes....The only difference is your being suckered into thinking your free service is heads above what im paying for..of course free is great but im sure if you had the option to get a service where you can play games and actually have voice chat in games and and working xmb where you can hit up friends and tell them to join your game IN EVERY GAME...you would be all up on it so please...i didnt cry like a baby like you, I gave you clear points...please try and do the same.
By the way..I call mgs4 the best game on the ps3 by far...how is that hate?

Only when comparisons go the other way it quickly turns to the old "WHATS TO COMPARE THEY ARE BOTH THE SAME" horsesheit we see here over and over again...dont worry..when bioshock for the ps3 has comparison videos im sure you and a couple of your droid friends will proclaim it to be the version thats better....as with this comparison...bioshock ps3 SHOULD be the superior version with time in its corner...then let the "chest thumping" commence right?

Paying to play games is better than free? How does that work? Oh I see it isn't the games you like so much as paying to have ads thrown at you.

You saying MGS4 is the best game on the PS3 is deceptive. That is your saying it is the best of the worst.

As for not crying all one has to do is read a few of your posts to see you are one of the most vocal infants on this board. Teenage angst, cursing in almost every post, unmitigated anger, all forms of whining, complaining, and bawling. Grow up.

Clear points to you are ones with which you already agree, are written with a No2 Husky pencil, AND are no more than 1 syllable.

Did you not comprehend (oops, sorry more than 1 syllable) that I said unlike you I don't deny I am a fanboy. But you actually went to great lengths to state you were not in a prior post. It would have been laughable were it not such a blatant lie. I admit it openly and freely. What part of that comment was beyond your obvious 7th grade education level? All of it?

What I did say was that my negative comments about the 360 do not approach your level of hatred for Sony. And if you want to compare posts on that fact you will find you will be left wanting. You come off as an angry child that has somehow gained internet access and utilizes sites such as N4G as a loosing ground for your tantrums.

Also go back to 1st grade math class. You said "2 things" and then proceeded to display an absolute ignorance of the simple ability to count.

Your overuse of vulgarity and numerous attempts to beat the swear filter betray you as someone that has just discovered cursing and you are under the misguided perception it is associated with some degree of cool. I have witnessed this in children numerous times and you are more obvious and transparent than most. While certain people display instances where one word can be humorous, your overuse easily shows you to be in your lewd language use infancy. I have a policy against maintaining a banter with the underaged.

Since you easily reveal your maturity level to be barely above the single digit level, if that, there is nothing further you could say that I would find even remotely interesting or amusing. Here, this is me putting you on ignore. Have a nice brief and blatantly dumb life.

The 360 version has more vivid lighting and color and has greater detail in far off objects.
The 360 version is overall more crisp and has less of a ghost frame effect.

The 360 version looks more crisp in movement like the way a game that is 720p native looks on a HDTV that is 720p native if the console is set at the 720p rez.

The PS3 version looks like the console was set at 1080i when the HDTV is 720p native(blurry movement *and* somehow not more crisp while displaying still content).

Take note: I'm not actually talking about TV's and REZ just using TV and rez as an example of the visual differences.

So in this case the 360 version has the best of both worlds (1080p) figuratively speaking.

In a NutShell: The 360 version has better color, better contrast, more detail over all and even more so in the distance and stays sharper durring fast movement lacking the ghost frames.

It is clear the differences would be greater if the quality of this footage was not sh*t and in HD.
