I remember all the face-offs, and I was horrified at how badly ripped off PS3 owners got by rockstar and their lazy port. I remember the blurry graphics compared with the super sharp look of the 360 version.

So when I bought RDR today for cheap, I wasn't expecting much. Before playing it downloaded a patch and off I went... but the graphics seem very crisp, and the only bad thing I can see is a lack of AA. So did they remove the PS3 blur filter, previously used as a cheap form of AA?

I never knew there was a difference in the graphics between the two, I haven't seen the 360 version on my setup, nor any comparison videos for that matter, but the PS3 version doesn't look terrible at all to me.

I think you were just taking the multiplat comparisons a bit too seriously.

There are very few cases where the difference is noticably large and none where one version is downright broken.

Huh? RDR was never a "blurry mess" on the PS3. Both versions looked basically the same.

I wondered what the fuss was about too. The PS3 version was always a sharp looking game to me, just jaggy.

Mmmm nope. RDR on the PS3 is crap if compared head to head with the 360 version.

Now, if you dont do that, its a great looking game by itself

That's my point. Everyone said it had that cheap AA process in place... but judging by the jaggy edges, it doesn't seem to me much of it. I'd say it is very crisp.

To be fair, the screenshots did suggest this. However, the screenshots don't actually seem to look like the game in motion. Mind you, some AA would have been nice on the ps3 version

I've seen the comparisions, and so have others. People say that if you are trying to look for the pixels, etc, then you may see a slight difference, but its barely even noticeable.

And that cheap AA is QAA. That version was at a lower resolution than the 360 version, only reason why it was blurry.

This is extremely true - very often people can play two versions of a multiplatform game seperately and not be able to distinguish between them. It's only when they're compared side by side that it's really noticable.

Exactly, I'm playing it right now on my PS3, and honestly it's still pretty amazing looking, even if there's a few less shadows, and trees. You really don't notice it (at least I don't) because the game is so much fun and still great to look at on both platforms, which is probably why the PS3 version scored the same.

I have both and the PS3 version misses some objects , has a less stable framerate and runs at a slightly lower resolution , you wont notice it unless you play them side by side .

I play the PS3 version online with friends and have no more Xbox live Gold .

Still a great game on both consoles , i'm in the middle of Undead nightmare on 360 right now and it's awesome , the graphics are even better with awesome looking God rays coming out of the clouds .

no. The problem was the ps3 ran at 640p while the 360 ran at 720p, plus No AA on the ps3 version. Less objects/missing objects (grass) on the ps3 version. And finally the draw distance was way better on the 360 version.

lol wut? they pretty much looked the same except the PS3 version had a liitle less grass in some areas and in some parts the textures where a little blurry, you can only notice those things when you compared screen still shots, but when actually playing the game they lookk the same with the PS3 version looking brighter. You sir are overly super over reacting about minor things you dont see even notice while playing the game.

I bought RDR day 1 for PS3 and though the graphics were quite good. The difference isn't as big as some people might have you believe. To answer your question, the patch is for all the DLC as far as i know.

By your logic JC2 on PC makes the the console version look like an NES game.

Well of course, you don't have a gaming PC so you wouldn't know the big difference between the console and PC versions.

It's a much larger difference than what consolites bicker over when comparing their multiplats.

i bought the 360 version first, the graphics looked great, then i borrowed the ps3 version froma friend, the graphics looked great. your just trying way too hard to over exagerate the 360 graphics, from someone who has actually played both the difference is not noticeable. nice try.

Dont think so. Maybe they fixed performance, but I doubt graphics. game is still plenty palyable. Also, its Rockstar, who have proved be be quite uncapable of doing simultaneous multiplatform development. And 2K also for that matter.

Actualy, I just remembered I got it today on PS3 via gamefly solely due to curiosity of how bad it really is on PS3. Ill play it some and let you know how it looks. (BTW: if you only have a PS3, please get it even if its a bit better on 360. Great game is a great game.)

ok, played a bit of it. Honestly, it still looks good. I expected more of a difference considering the backlash. It does look rougher because of little aliasing, and I dont have the 360 version to compare it to, but it still looks good and its totaly enjoyable. I dont know about frame rate because I havent really had combat yet, but then again I dont have a good gauge for frame rate.

no. the ps3 version is clearly inferior with it's weak draw distance and textures, inconsistent framerate and absence of AA. i know because i've seen both versions in action.

Well, im playing the PS3 version right now and havent noticed any Framerate problems. Lack of AA is annoying yes, and I guess the draw distances are kinda weak, but I havent had a inferior experince yet. And ive beaten teh gaem on 360. We all need to look up the word inferior.

There was never anything wrong with the PS3 version in the first place. Just over-dramatic haters doing what they do best. And no its graphics weren't patched.

Don't worry, the game looks so great that even at sub-HD it still manages to look better than any other open-world game out there. Sub-HD doesn't mean it looks bad, and this game is proof of that.

Agreed. I remember the comparisons and the 360 clearly looked better. But if you don't have the choice the PS3 version is still a great looking game, and one of my favorites.

The only real differences I noticed between the two versions is that the PS3 has a lot more pop in of graphics, especially off in the distance. Not that it was a deal breaker for playing the game, but it did get annoying.

Anyone who says there is not a huge difference is fooling themselves. I only had a ps3 when this was released. I bought a 360 for reach a few weeks ago, I rebought red dead for the undead nightmare pack, and I wanted to replay it on the 360 for achievements. The graphics are better in to many ways to describe. The image is sharper, the colors are better, the shadows are better, I could go on, but over all all the little things add up and the game looks amazing. I cant stand sony fans that downplay this and then hype graphics of the exclusives, IMO RDR on the 360 looks just as good as any ps3 game.
