If you haven't seen it:

Think we are pretty much splitting hairs in the graphics. But everything on the PS3 seems to be faded.

Sorry if old.

I don't know whats with image grabs from PS3. Maybe it's something about it causes the grabe to become washed out, because I have the Virtual Tennis demo on my PS3 and it's not that bright.

Not much, but PS3 is brighter and slight less detail.hummer700

I think you're finding it less detailed because of the brightness. I don't see differences in any of these games quite honestly.

Almost all are nearly identical, the PS3 versions are just so much brighter.

It looks pretty much the same, the PS3 has a slight edge on the 360 for Oblivion (however extra time is why that is). SpiderMan 3 does look better on the 360; however it is SpiderMan 3 and shouldn't count (it sucks on all consoles)

I like the brightness of the PS3 version and the features of the closeup objects in the screenshots but the backgrounds seem completely washed out. The 360 version blows it away in terms of backgrounds.

you know what I think it is, when i switched from hdmi to a component connection just to test the difference, I noticed the games looked much lighter than when connected to hdmi, my hdmi connection gives me deeper blacks and overall a cleaner less washed out look.

The impression I have gotten between the 2 consoles is that the ps3 has more vivid colors while the 360 has better textures and a grittier look.

I think that is just how it is when comparing Nvidia and ATI though, as well.

Interesting.

Funny to watch the crowds in MLB07 become PS1 quality on mouseover for the PS3 version, yet it has much worse framerate.:?

Edit: they even turned of soft self-shadowing for the PS3 version to get framerates up. Who are the devs responsible?

"We took all our screenshots at 720p using component video cables. The Xbox 360's component output has more color saturation than the PS3's. Users can adjust TV display settings to account for the color differences, but we did not modify the color levels in the images because we wanted to preserve the original output as much as possible."

It's obvious by now, Xbox360 has better graphics, ps3 looks more blurry and less smooth. When it comes to graphics, the xbox360 is better.

Yeah but the gap is closing though, pretty soon multi-plat games will look identical.

Lemmings have been proven wrong. They kept claiiming the 360 graphics update for Oblivion would kill the PS3 Oblivion version and by a landslide the PS3 has more then an edge and its as clear as night and day that PS3's version look's better proving that PS3 does in fact have more potential of the two even though their identical in power. If it were powerlevels I would say 360's powerlevel is 50,000 and PS3's is 52,000 and Wii's is around 6,000 :lol: which is not even over 9,000.

The PS3 looks better in some shots and the 360 looks better in others. Sometimes quite dramatically. I have a feeling that its more the TV settings because i don't think its ever gonna be that dramatic in any case.

better lighting on the 360. it's subtle, but you can pick it out in a few places.. looking at the shadowing on the mech in the very last shot, there's some shadows that just plain don't exist on the ps3 shot. something like that could be attributed to gpu differences, i guess.. soft shadowing and full hdr tend to KILL nvidia 7x00-generation cards hardcore.

Are people that blind? if you look at Armored Core 4the ground in all the screenshots ps3 > 360, the 360 has smaller draw distance for the textures. think the devs went to far with the blur effect. but the ps3 wins imo.

Looking at those comparisons I think you could argue all day about which what looks better and it would be stupid. If you were playing it on your tv, went away and came back a few hours later, you probably wouldn't even realize what wss different.

I looks like the PS3's RSX can't handle HDR. It's very noticeable when you compare games made by different Devs and get the same result. All PS3 games lack the color depth a lighting subtleties HDR adds to an image. It's sad after all the bold claims from Sony their system can't run a port with all the effects turned on. Cows should be peeved to say the least.

Why wouldn't they test it on 1080? Is there any reason to make both consoles inferior to their full potential?

I agree, the cost of HDR must be too high because no one seems to be using it.

Anyone think gamespot is dicking around with the PS3 version

turning up the brightness on all shots? :?

on any HDTV if you prolly turn the brightness down to 43 or 40 it prolly looks like the 360 version.

They should of used HDMI with the ps3 and turned on full RGB. The games looks the same except for the ps3 versions being brighter. Seriously, that basically (mostly) the only difference I can discern and it sucks because it makes the textures looks worse than they actually are. Like the virtua tennis (like someone else said) I have the ps3 demo and it's definitely not that washed out...
