360 vs PS3 Showdown 18 by Eurogamer (56k warning)

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/xbox-360...ound-18-article

Skate 2

360 has more stable framerate

360 version
Reduced: 50% of original size [ 1280 x 720 ]

PS3 version
Reduced: 50% of original size [ 1280 x 720 ]





Silent Hill: Incoming

360 is 720p and PS3 is 576p
360 is 50% more detailed than PS3

PS3
Reduced: 50% of original size [ 1280 x 720 ]


360
Reduced: 50% of original size [ 1280 x 720 ]




Need for Speed: Undercover




PS3
Reduced: 50% of original size [ 1280 x 720 ]


360
Reduced: 50% of original size [ 1280 x 720 ]


Quote - In just about every measurable sense, NFS: Undercover is an unsavoury experience on PS3, while on 360 it is, as Kristan said in the original review, 'a reasonably decent game' and while it's too easy, there's enough of the old Most Wanted DNA in there to make it sufficiently entertaining. Certainly its technical credentials are a league above what is on display in the PS3 version.




Tom Clancy's Endwar

Quote - In terms of other differences between the games, there's not a huge amount in it, aside from a whopping great 4.8GB, 12-minute mandatory installation on PS3. Curiously, the 360 game running from the DVD still manages to load faster.


360
Reduced: 33% of original size [ 1920 x 1080 ]


PS3
Reduced: 33% of original size [ 1920 x 1080 ]





Rise of the Argonauts

360 has more anti aliasing

360
Reduced: 50% of original size [ 1280 x 720 ]



PS3
Reduced: 50% of original size [ 1280 x 720 ]

I dont bother with Euro. Most of the time they notice stuff only if you look real hard. On the skate 2 issue IGN said they run and play the exact same.

Thanks for this.

SH:HC 576p on teh PS3? The power of the cell is showing.

The PS3's hardware is a total joke.I don't care if its theoretically more powerful in certain situations( situations that will never be replicated to give similar realworld performance),the evidence is there for all to see,and to play.

360 FTW.

when you pay $200 more for a console you shouldn't have to "settle" - it should be better

The PS3 and 360 are pretty much equal in processing power.

It really all depends on the devs.

Meh who really cares? A few, lackluster games are shown here. Non-descriptive of the awesome library the PS3 offers. Usually this is an issue of Porting from 360 to PS3, as we have seen that porting from PS3 to 360 = very similar multiplats.

So you're saying the 360 got better versions of mediocre multiplats that were built from the ground up on the 360 and ported over to the PS3?

This, as his idea doesn't seem to explain some of the fantastic PS3 exclusives. And RE5 on PS3 is pretty much equal with 360. Take your fanboy goggles off lad.

you noticed that to huh? :lol:

I can only really tell (from those stills) that SH looks better on PS3.

I'm not really sure what the intent of this thread is. *shrug*

Its obvious by now xbox 360 has better multiplats but some of the statements are suspicious to me.

50% more detail? How do you measure detail in a percentage?

Also "Curiously, the 360 game running from the DVD still manages to load faster. ", which technically makes no sense, but logically possible if the ps3 has problems.

Not the first time it happened:lol:

Nothing new here. Everybody knows that every time a multiplat comes out is ownage day for mighty cell...

Yes PS3 has can't do good graphics as evidenced by Killzone 2.

silent hill for 360 has 50% more detail? Am I the only one that thinks the PS3 shot looks better in the comparison? lol

Multiplats built from the ground up on 360 yes... When God created man, did he hand out ignorance by the truck load?

50% more detail? How do you measure detail in a percentage?

Coolio10

Render resolution

Texture resolution

Shadow resolution etc etc.

Although in that picture it doesn't look like the 360 has 50% more detail.

It just looks like it's running at a higher resolution, has slightly better textures/ texture filtering, and it isn't as dark.

The PS3 has some multiplats which are better than the xbox 360 ones such as burnout paradise, which proves it depends on the devs not the game.

Burnout paradise is equal on both consoles,this is despite the PS3 being the lead format.

lundy86_4

are fallout 3, the orange box, F.E.A.R, Rainbow Six Vegas and Lost Planet lackluster games??

those are just the ones off the top of my head with HUGE quality differences - but pretty much all multiplats are just a teensie bit worse on the ps3

and i know it's not that big a deal - it's just you're paying MORE for this crap

What its the truth. IF I must look real hard to see a difference why should I care. Im not going to pause and zoom everytime. I know theres some games that obvioulsy look better on 360,but most of the time the difference are so tiny that you have to look so hard that your not even playing the game anymore.

it's not always just the still frame images

it's the performance - that's whats more important

slowdown and bad load times

And multiplats built from the ground up on PS3 looks.......the same on both systems! Thats sad considering PS3 is far more expensive and its supposed to be more powerfull.

Anyway....doesnt the fact that most multiplats are and will be developed first to 360 and then ported to PS3 bothers you?

No, that's not true.

and it only takes one to dispel the myth.. and that happen way back in the Oblivion days.

People are still so hung up on the E3 06' promises

the sony playstation 3 - is NOT more powerful, the ram, cpu, and graphics card in the both of them are as close as you can get

people thinking the ps3 is going to like jump through the screen or something, the best you could hope for is a few more textures

oblivion got an extra year development on the playstation 3

install oblivion from 05' to the 360 hard drive and it's the same

what is it with people not reading my posts lol. Read again, i'll even bold it for you. Your point still is factual, but it offers some great exclusives, as does the 360, why can't we just enjoy them all instead of being anal and nitpicking. I also use my PS3 as my Blu-Ray player, so the price didn't bother me, as players at the time cost $300 alone

It's not supposed to be more powerful, even a PS3 hater (or disliker?) bought into the Sony hype. They are both equally powerful, with the PS3 having a much worse design architecture.

No it doesn't bother me as I own a PC, PS3 and 360. I just buy 360/PS3/PC games on PC and immediately I have the better version. However the PS3/360 offer great exclusives, so that makes the PS3 worth the purchase.

I get just as much slowdown on the 360 version of Skate 2 as I did on the PS3 version. If you don't install it on the HDD the load times are also longer, but that's due to the mandatory install on the PS3 version. Fully installed on the HDD the load times are pretty much identical. The 360 version definitely looks more vibrant, though.

I know it's nearly a year old, but I've just started playing the 360 version of GTAIV and it's a lot less jaggy than the PS3 version. You especially notice it on the car models. It also seems to be a bit less blurry.

In general the 360 has the edge in AA due to the 10mb of eDRAM, which really helps out.

Yeah...i agree with your post. Of course PS3 has good exclusives but not everyone has deep pockets enough to get all those systems and being harder to develop for is not a good thing for PS3 multiplats.

definately not... I think if developers had the time and money this gen we would see more equal multiplats, but as it stands we don't. PS3 should not be hard to develop for, because that is just a downfall for the end user. This is th exact reason why I own a 360 and PS3, that and for the exclusives they both offer

the ps3 architecture doesnt exactly bode well for business, you know people trying to make money and put out a product

silent hill for 360 has 50% more detail? Am I the only one that thinks the PS3 shot looks better in the comparison? lol

Speaking of Silent Hill: Homecoming, why do Xbots hype Alan Wake so much? It looks graphically on par with Silent Hill: Homecoming, IMO.

GTAIV is rated lower on the PC then it's console counterpart yet it's the best looking outta all three. Oh and it plays better on my PC then it did on the PS3 and 360. So, there goes your logic!
