Xbox 360 vs PS3: Splinter Cell Double Agent Comparison

deep - 973 days 21 hours ago

Antan...they havent all come out with the 360 on top.

A FUD bubble seems to be looming over all of us. I forward you to Eurogamer for their comparison and you will see that in most cases they are very close, or there is a win on both sides. The PS3 is not behind on these "ports" by anyones standards. Hell the 360 wins on a few, but by negligible margins, as admitted by most journalists that have played both side by side...the only broken link in the chain is Gamespot. http://www.n4g.com/News-317... I agree about this one however.

Sorry Antan...changed the comment for you :) Just wish people would refrain from saying ALL, and actually read around. I know many don't have the motivation to do so, but I have and I'm sure as Antan has done, you will see that the ps3 does not fail on ports as much as you think and it is really a jab at the devs to say that they do.

Of course i was speaking about the majority of ports but there are as you rightly say some that swing in the PS3`s favour. Naturally i can only comment on the games ive seen on both, for example-:

Ridge Racer 7 is quite a bit better looking than R6, especially in terms of HDR which looks superb on the PS3 but is not available in R6, and the new tracks look fantastic and don`t suffer from the usual portitus as they of course have been built from scratch.

Oblivion is of course well documented to have a visual edge on the PS3, though i only have the PC version.

I have FNR3 on the 360 but aint seen the PS3 version and yes the majority of reviews point in favour of the PS3, but not by much.

SC:DA going by these screenies "appears" to lack the edge of the 360 version, which i do have. I knew months ago this conversion was lacking against the 360 but this is just a bonus of working in the industry.

I think i should of said sometimes rather than always of course. As time goes on, and ive said this before, i fully expect the PS3 to show more muscle when 3rd party developers get the knack so to speak, proof of this appears to be showing, like Spiderman 3 for example. Theres more chance of the PS3 having better versions IF code is written directly and not "ported", again its nice knowing plenty of peeps in the industry.

"Sorry to burst the FUD bubble that has been looming over you". I always respect your comments Deep and of course hope you get your PS3 in June, but this comment was a bit off tbh, im not sure how you thought/think im somehow affected by this FUD lark?

Ant...........

Do us a favour die please? You spent a whole weekend renting out games and comparing them *clap clap* i wonder when this guy is gonna get laid? ye we know the answer. If you look at these first glance there is no difference, but if your a fanboy looking for differences you will see them.

I piss on this article.

also funny how people are comparing these when they are not the same pictures ha ha.

POG. I know I know...but Ive also found that on many sites they do not say that the ps3 version is washed out. Ive also spoken to many owners and they completely agree. That is not to say that the ps3 versions are not lighter...but they are not as light as some have shown. Now the screenshots shown on Eurogamer, if you do not feel are accurate, they are not what the actual article refers to if you read it. They refer to a number of graphical features and not how bright either are.

Eurogamer is not the only site that agrees. In fact Ive done quite a bit of scouting on this and there are some standouts. FNR3...now it is agreed that the crowds on the ps3 are subpar the 360, but it is also universally agreed that the fighter models are much better, with even better lighting on the ps3. Ridge Racer has been said to superior to the 360 version. Now now now, none of this as we have realised over these past months has anything to do with the capabilities of either console. But I really think it is belittling of the devs to say "they havent got the hang of the ps3. Because most ports (apart from Fear and perhaps this) are very good, and in some respects are superior to their xbox siblings.

Please I dont do this to flame. I have done my research. I really feel it is time to end the xbox has the better multi-platform games. Each win some, each lose.

I hope thats understandable POG...you must realise that a lot of it is bull right?

(amusing little fact for you...gamespot said Spiderman3 is more colourful on the ps3...funny I know :)...also Criterion said that 1080p was only possible on the ps3 and that the ps3 would have better physics and AI...I say this only to show. Wins and losses on both sides...there's no need for superiority complexs.

POG. This washed out look is something im not seeing to be perfectly honest with you, i have F1, Motorstorm, R7 and RFOM and i can say ive never once thought about the PS3 having washed out colours. I think one look at R7 (playing it not looking at screenshots) and Motorstorm should dispel such myths. And certainly the the muted look of RFOM is absolutley a creative decision.

THAMMER1 - 973 days 20 hours ago

Very true.

Last gen all games had same day releases too. Me personally I'm too hord core and picky to get the turd version.

This gen Sony even get an extra 6 months and still comes up a nose short. I do not think it is that big of a deal but Sony did set up HIGH EXPECTATIONS that have yet to be delivered on.

This makes me wonder how VF is going to turn out.

DEEPBROWN DO YOU EVEN HAVE A PS3 YET? COME ON MAN PUT IN ON THAT $#!T IF YOU BELIVE IN IT SO MUCH.

*Below*
YEAH God of Gaming

I feel that the PS3 is the same cost/price as most peoples rent or mortgage, but this guy flies around this site as the CAPTIN of the SDF but dose not put his money where his mouth is.

In my area we call that type of $#!t what it is ((COUNTER FIT)).

God of Gaming - 973 days 19 hours ago

To be fair... he more than likely has to pay rent or mortgage so that ususally comes before a PS3. As much as I do not care about the PS3 I would have picked one up by now if it clocked in at $400 bucks!

yes it does take money to get a ps3, and thanks to having a job, I got plenty of that. One major quip about people, and that is a major bullet point for 360 fanboys, is the lack of **must have** games, although the 360 didnt have theirs until a year after launch in the name of GeOW. People are simply waiting for the must have games, the Heavenly Sword, the Lair, the MGS4, the Killzone, the Home, the LBP, there is pretty much a must have game in all types of genres of gaming, and a lot of people are simply waiting, I couldn't wait, and had to have it immediately. But I do agree with the someone crappy ports, well some of them. And it is definately not because of the capabilities of the system, we call all see the ninja gaiden, the oblivion, and HS, Ratchet and Clank, both systems have the goods for excellent games. But you do have to look at it from a developers standpoint. A lot of them are all about money. They have created a game, for the 360, that is optimized for the 360. Now, in order to make the most money, and since the game is already created, they take the least amount of time to maximize the profits to get the game to other systems, its pretty simple. And you do have to look at the shottiness of ubisoft as a developer. I mean cmon, a new game, GRAW 2 is having a multitude of problems on the 360, due to the developers programming, cmon now. I am losing faith in ubisoft day by day

lol. funny. Dudes I've done my research and I'm going from what I have read and seen, just as much as any of these comparisons on this site do. PS3 is on its way but sadly I'm up to my neck in Uni work at the moment and can't actually buy one until I finish and move out of this hell hole.

All these comparison opinions are coming from articles and screenshots as I'm sure most of you don't own both, so I'm just pointing you towards the many journalists on this thing called the world wide web, where the opinions are in line with mine in most respects.

Man you should go ahead and pick up 360 as you dont have to wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and...well u catch my drift..to enjoy great games.

To rest of you PS3 fanbois, I along with huge numbers of 360 owners have been enjoying next gen HD gaming since Jan 06. I feel pity for you guys who have blindly believed SONY hype/lie machine, wasted 1 year of enjoyable gaming and ended up paying $200+ more on a console which has yet to deliver 3rd game (after MS and RFOM) which is actually good. 90% of the ports which you guys are getting are inferior to what 360 users have had for more than atleast 6 months. So why keep on waiting and never able to play beyond on the console in 3rd place3???? Why the blind faith in company who is renowned for lying to public when it comes to its consoles. Its not necessary that they will have success like ps1/2 evertime. Wake up and smell the cofee guys.

How about armored core 4, the 360 version does not have jaggies, has better textures and reflections, plus a better use of hdr and AA. so what do people have to say about that. the only prob i saw with the 360 version was that it was too dark, don't know why, but from some of the gameplay trailers it looked a lil' too dark. But that is not a graphical problem. Both consoles are powerful, people love sayin that it's the developers fault, actually it's not, it's the console makers fault. If they build something, then build the tools to help people extract all they can for the system. in the end the console maker looks bad, not really the developers. So i wish people would stop blaming the devs, and start pointing the fingers at those that can do something about it. And i know the sony tools sets are coming out soon, but that should have been done. They had a whole year delay because of a blueray diode, why couldn't they have had the developers of the console making all the necessary tools back then. And please don't say the console is only half a year old. it has had games in development for years now, so cut the bull. And one big statement for all those 1st gen 2nd gen crybabies, gears is a 1st gen game. it's epics 1st time on the console, 1st release for the console, and was announced for the system pre launch during e3.

Sony tends to no know when to insert foot into mouth. making claims like

"the next generation doesnt start till we say it does"
"ps3 is the only TRUE HD experience"
"we consider it more of a xbox 1.5"

why oh why cant you just be humble sony? being the leader of the console war, you shouldnt have to smack talk about how your machine will kick the piss out of everything else. the underdogs should be the ones saying that so that they can take attention away from the console leader.

What about the ones they did make for the ps3 from the ground up? They are no better quality than some 360 games. Moto storm being the 1 that may have a slight edge graphically on the average 360 game, but not much of an edge. And it lacks in most other areas.

well i think sony just sat back on their laurels. I mean really, 360 didnt have crap until gears came out, and that was the same time ps3 launched, i bet sony just sat back and went.. wait this is what we're up against..pppfffttt.. but yeah, the high end games are coming, and its mostly from first party exclusives, I wonder if thats coincidence or not.

ubisoft is crap, check out the problems that graw2 is having on the 360, and its not because of the 360, its the programming. ubisoft is cutting corners left and right, its not a good thing

You should be lucky, if devs stopped making ports/Multi platform games for PS3 altogether then you'd be left with 4 games to look forward to. So stfu about blaming devs as those guys are doing their best to bring games to your, already in hot water console. BTW look at the pic of US flag on guys shirt, the one ps3 looks like ps2 texture. I guess they even had to dumb down that small a texture for ps3.

Compared to what? Does is look greater than (better than) the 360 version? Equal to? Greater than the PS2? Next-gen graphics in general look great.
