Yeah, I posted this earlier, it's a shame. I'll wait for some more reviews for confirmation but I'm not really surprised. The 360 was the lead console for F 3.

i think the PC was the lead platform and it was just easier to port it to the 360 and the question is did they port it from the PC to the ps3 or did they port it from the PC to the 360 then port it from the 360 to the ps3, this game was designed for the PC so it doesn't suprise me that the 360 version is better, it is the PC's "little brother" after all

Every game is made on a PC. They were probably developing this game on the 360 while optimising the 360 build for the PC at the same time.

Please tell me there aren't any major issues. I've already got it pre-ordered for PS3, and I don't want to get it for my 360, as my controller is all wonky.

This is surprising considering the fact that Oblivion on the PS3 was actually slightly visually improved. Strange.

[QUOTE="-Sniper99-"]Meh. 360 was the lead platform, this was kinda expected, was it not?PAL360

well....thats funny that when the PS3 is the lead platform all the versions look identical :P

its because its alot easier to port from the PS3 to X360 than the other way around. Maybe in due time when people get used to the PS3 architecture, it will be just as easy to port from X360/PC to PS3 as it is the other way around. Remember when the PS2 came out, games looked like crap because it was hard to work on, on the other hand Xbox games came out looking great from day 1. I hope we see the same improvement on the PS3 as we did on the PS2 :)

As for fallout 3, it looked so boring. The first person shooting looked so dull and boring I almost fell asleep watching the vids :? I hope im wrong, but if its anything like Oblivion, im not gonna buy it. Oblivion had a beautiful world, but the gameplay was boring as hell. I would rather have a small game like GeoW with stellar gameplay than a wide, expansive and beautiful game world with mediocre gameplay like Oblivion. Thats just me though...to people who luved Oblivion, have fun with the game :)

Easier to port from PS3 to 360, than the other way around. As for the comment earlier about Oblivion looking better on PS3, while true, the PS3 version was in the oven nearly a full year past the 360 version. Not the case here, obviously. It's really obvious where Bethesda's priorities are, Oblivion looked great on PS3 with time, but sold better on X360, and thats what they really care about.

They had an extra year to work on the PS3 version of Oblivion, that's why it was better. Anyway, I doubt the difference is really that big. Certainly not to the degree of some of last year's multiplats.

superjim42

Time constraints is my thought. They wanted to release them at the same time and it would probably have taken them more time to bring it up to X360/PC levels, so they opted to release aa crap port than to hold back all the games for a few more months on account of 1 system. Thats just my guess :P

that is just dumb. and bad business the ps3 has a good install base now and they want to disregard them? launching a crappy port is what ubisoft does/did.

what happened to you bethesda. i doint care if they had to work on them at the same time. if infinity ward can do it with cod4, aheck if EA!!!! of all ppl EA with deadspace can do it then a talented team like bethseda should be able to!

no excuses. the devs suck if this is proven true from all other sources

They did had time to polish the game for the ps3. Maybe now with 3 systems to work with one at least is inferior. I was always wondering on the pc game I was wrong. Does the PC version has dx10?

Yeah, it shows something is wrong if EA can do a better multiplatform than Bethesda.

Yeah! Lets just forget about the extra year of development they had with the PS3 version of Oblivion. I mean that couldn't have possibly had anything to do with the PS3 version being MARGINALLY better could it?

Nah.

That's my point though, they already spent all that time getting that version of the Gamebryo engine working on the PS3 as it did with Oblivion. I thought Fallout 3 was using that same engine.

If the differences are only marginal then this won't be a deal breaker for me. It does seem a little odd that many other multi-platform developers can put out games that look the same on both platforms, yet Bethesda (a quality dev IMO, but then again, I'm not much of an RPG fan :P) can't manage that.

It's a modified version of that engine. Perhaps most of the optimization time went to the 360/PC since the platforms are interchangable..

If only ps3 fans accept the ps3 has an inferior hardware. All this wondering (and long winded excuses) on why multiplats look worse on ps3 would come to an end.

The only reason Oblivion on the PS3 looks better than the 360 version is because it released a year late. And even then, a patch was brought out for the 360 version so those differences are very slight. Its more the install that makes the bigger differences.

ANYWAY, i expected so much. And with the exclusive DLC on the 360 version, its definitely the one to get.

Wow. It looks like they've sweetened the deal for 360/PC owners then with this snub. I don't know why they would do that, maybe it's the completely different architecture & design tools & there is no time to refine it before release? I'm looking forward to F 3...I need a good WRPG to experience.

"action packed as a Call of Duty game".. Yeah that sums it up nicely, a PoS rpg game that tries to make it seem "cool" with some action that looks pathetic on video.

dmc4 looks better on 360. 360 version has x2 msaa, while ps3 version uses an inferior aa technique that blurs the whole screen.

Oblivion 360 is an early 360 game, and does not look very good by todays standards. ps3 oblivion is improved in some ways, but downgraded in other areas compared to 360 version.

Fallout3 360 version looks much better than oblivion 360 version.
