"Both PC and PS3 enjoy more lavish quality on video sequences"
"PS3 ..our console recommendation."
"PS3 is also more pleasing on the eye, better suiting the game's gritty aesthetic"
"on a purely visual level, we'd be inclined to give the PS3 game the nod here if you have the choice."

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-hitman-absolution-face-off


"Quite often it can be easier to aim more precisely on the PS3"
"the variance in the position of light sources in both versions in some scenes tends to subjectively enhance the look of the PS3 game in many areas"

notice how the difference in RE6 is not just visual? "aiming in PS3 version is > 360" looks like the cell is starting to show its true power for multiplat devs now

you pulled things a bit out of context

From a general visual perspective the console games match up fairly well, but we do see the 360 featuring a small image quality advantage where clarity of the foliage is concerned, whereas the lower level of texture filtering and more heavy handed post-process MLAA on the PS3 gives that version a slightly softer look. Subjectively, the less intense use of bloom on the PS3 is also more pleasing on the eye, better suiting the game's gritty aesthetic. Most importantly though, both versions play just as well as each other, so we can easily recommend the game to both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 owners alike. However, on a purely visual level, we'd be inclined to give the PS3 game the nod here if you have the choice.

I don't think they are speaking technical any more theres a few differences and a few things better on both systems, they just prefer the ps3

Same with resident evil, they say the ps3 subjectively looks better, but surprising that hte controls are a bit sluggish with the 360, maybe it's settings? oh well,

That's a common logical flaw you are making there. That someone points to a biased source doesn't mean they trust said source. It is more like when a democrat points out a republican supported one of their ideas. That democrat isn't saying the republican is neutral, or even trust worthy, but merely that even that bias person agreed. That doesn't speak at all to DF's biases in truth, merely that the argument that using a biased source does not equate it now being considered unbiased.

Assuming Digital Foundry is biased, sure.

Good to see Sony fans trusting DF. Finally we can all agree that Forza Horizon is the best looking racing game on consoles, and Halo 4 looks as good as the best looking PS3 exclusives :)

By 1st place you mean having less games, then you are correct. PS3 the 1s place in cows minds but last to the rest of world console. BTW you don't own a PS3 so they're last place in your house as well.

GS > DF. and the GS awards go to....... as for comparisons, DF is a joke, but this particular editor actually took off his fanboy goggles, and put on his real geeky glasses, because for once its actually about gameplay and aiming mechanics, and not only graphics. but go ahead with the DF graphics BS, while GS hands out the real graphics awards.

Your quality =/= fact . Games are subjective and every person has different opinions on them. So YOU =/= quality

Critical acclaim >>>> quantity. Like I said the 360 can have all the crap they want but the PS3 library is still better according to critical acclaim.

Once again OPINION =/= fact. No matter how you slice it, reviews, game scores and awards are nothing more than opinion.
