BioShock Video Comparison - 720p

Hagaf22 - 447 days 10 hours ago

is it just me or couldnt that all be demo footage again? if you were to do a comparison of the full game you should probably show something farther in than the comparisons weve already seen...

360 > PS 3 but it still looks great on the PS 3.

Yes the PS3 version is without doubt quite a bit worse having just spent about an hour with the demo.Framerate stutters all over the place and that usual blurry quality you get from a lot of PS3 games

It's not the best of conversions and you definitely wont be getting a great version here.Certainly not unplayable though in this state and worth a try if you have a PS3 ONLY

This isn't a dig rather a stating of what i saw on the same 42 plasma set as what i also run my 360 on

Yep, both look like Bioshock to me.

What you're not seeing is how crystal clear 360's visuals are - truly a remarkable difference that leaves the PS3 version coming off as looking almost like an xbox1 game

I really had no idea PS3 was not as vibrantly clear as 360.An example would be Uncharted - nice enough but i was lead to believe it had heavenly visuals.Better than what Bioshock does here though in terms of it's muddy display but my time with PS3 and with one of PS3's "best games" has made it abundently clear that PS3 has a hard time with clearness and just general virancy

The experience detatches you from the game

How do you guys put up with this?

360 wins this one. If you only have a PS3, then go for it. But 360/PC versions are better as you can see. No major or nothing though, maybe even marginal.

To some PS3 might look even better since sharp graphics are not the same thing as good graphics, the sharpness on X360 shows better the jaggers, which is the thing I hate the most in Video-Games.

Mostly the same, bad textures will be fixed via patch. Blur is there but looks fine I think. I believe the game is confirmed 720p several times so blur was a design choice.

Both versions have their stutter points, good port. It will have issues competing this holiday though.

I agree with IGN though, it retains its predecessors flaws, and for a year some of them should be addressed. It is still the same atmospheric experience but this port was a chance to be the most polished version and it really just ends up the same with more content.

Well on this 42" plasma Bioshock didn't look as impressive purely from a static point regardless of any jaggies 360 games may have.There is a delightfull crispness to the how 360 renders to screen that PS3 obviously has a problem with.

This is the first time iv'e had a proper look at the PS3 on the same display i run my 360 and i was expecting something a little better than what my 360 does.Iv'e defended at times the potential raw power of PS3 but what good is that it if the whole thing looks like cr!p

Gears of War textures are heavenly, i didn't know just how heavenly they were until i saw PS3 running like this

PS3 equals cr!p, something i wouldn't normally say but you learn don't you

This footage shows the Ps3 version in a new light. 97% of it was indistinguishable from the xbox 360 version. I think the biggest difference being the dynamic lighting on Big Daddy when he attacks the guy and throws him int the window; other than that these games are, to my surprise, very much the same looking.

Ps3 version might be a tad under par, but it'll still be invited back to the club house.

Well apparently Ratchet is also consistently 60 frames but that also has stutters in places and i'm, guessing people don't see this for the most.360 version only stuttered when it was to do with the cache, not like here where it drops 1 or 2 frames every second.It's not hugely stuttery but not like 360's mostly consistent framerate

PORTS USING THE UE3 Engine?

Epic obviously doesn't want to optimize it further for the PS3. Maybe its not worthwhile and this Code was PORTED not written from scratch.

SO duh!

i hate to disapoint all the 360 lovers

but there identical

with a few exeptions... the ps3 version has improved textures

you need to compare the game at 1080i or 1080p
you will see

and the patch wich is out already fixes all the texture issues with the big dadies

Adropacrich2 - 447 days 8 hours ago

Yup this is not showing PS3's raw power whatsoever

It's more powerfull than the 360 in polygon terms and all that floating point business

PS3 clearly has a problem with clarity and a lack of great standout textures for the most.Coming from a 360 to PS3 shows a remarkably noticable difference in this area

I'm actually quite stunned how poor PS3 is at handling visuals

young7yang - 447 days 8 hours ago

wow

i guess im blind then

i own 30 games on 360

including the special edition of bioshock

and currently only have 9 games for ps3.. and after taking the time to compare them side by side for nearly an hour...

they are identical in almost every way... with the exeption of the textures.. and when you are playing at full resolution on 1080p you can see they are identical

pluss the ps3 version has improved textures in certain areas.. look at the ign video review to get a better idea of what i am talking about.... also... if you do not have a 360

buy this game its well worth it

f*&k what everyone else says

Iv'e not had the chance to see PS3 running until today

I'm not overly complimentry about Sony but have always thought their Machine to be the best this round - it is of course regarding storage, general polygon power and floating point potential
in games

The reason iv'e wrote what i did concerning my experience with the PS3 is because i am now at least able to offer a factual opinion based on what i have seen

360 obviously has a better quality to it's graphics shown on screen, that much is very clear having seen it with my own eyes - dispute what i say as truth regarding my time spent on the PS3 today as much as you like, you simply don't know

This isn't going to stop people enjoying their choice of hardware but it's quite a shock seeing the PS3 in action coming straight from a session on a 360

Uncharted lol that's the game i thought was going to knock me out, what a wake up call

That said it's an excellent game that i wouldn't hesitate to own if it were on 360.Classy scripting and acting too

Haze too was not at all bad and goes to show that sometimes people should just go with their feelings

At some point maybe in a few years i think it's highly likely i will get a PS3(too many great games i would rather not miss out on) but i'm really taken back by the quality is all

lordgodalming

Uncharted looked perfectly splendid.In all honesty though it looked far less stunning than what i had read so often about it.As for contridiction, i'm banging on about visuals here not gameplay

No i only sat down long enough to see the visual differences between the two machines, something that doesn't take any time at all - PS3 is inferior here.Were this not the case, i wouldn't have bothered posting this

You have a wierd understanding of what contradiction by the way or maybe this is just an assumption about what you think i'm suggesting.PS3 just like any machine has and will continue to have great games, but it sure is a pile of junk when directly comparing to 360 in this area

360 is a pile of sh!te as well as far as hardware and absurdly loud dvd noise but i can live with this because graphic sharpness is so super crisp

I'm glad to have pointed out the differences true that they are and i'm not expecting anything but disagrees here of course

Anyway it's good to be out of bubbles because truth sometimes doesn't like to be heard

Let's hurry up and get that comparison in before the final PS3 version. We wouldn't want to do the comparison after the graphics patch is released on launch day.

So that settles it, Big Daddy's foot looks better stomping you on the 360 version than it does on the PS3. Or should I just be truthfull and post some numbers.

360 5943
PS3 3

Whats that smell? AHHH! I stepped in PS3 sh!t, quick some one hand me a stick while I wipe this off in the grass.

I believe the PS3 to be a superior console to the 360. However it doesn't stop some things on the 360 being better than the PS3 and vice versa. On the other hand the 360s been around a while longer and devs are only beggining to get hold of the PS3s true potential. Wait for the patch for the real comparison. however it's still one game and does not show the real graphical difference of the two consoles.

Anyone who actually believes this crude has got issues. Just look at what they compared and you'll see what I'm talkin about. A port from the Unreal engine anyway, and the sad thing is the graphics look so outdated, play deadspace and you will know what I'm talkin about. actual game will be on par except for the added textures that make the water look better. Dated
