Why are people comparing cut-scene VIDEOS? Almost every cutscene in Max Payne 3 is a pre-rendered VIDEO to hide loading times. There's obviously not going to be any differences between them. You need to actually compare GAMEPLAY. If you look at the Max Payne 3 face-off on Eurogamer.net you'll see that the 360 version is blurrier.

There's absolutely no sense in comparing cut-scene videos though. Those are pre-rendered and they're only there to keep the story moving along while the game loads the next section in the background (just like the Uncharted series does).

Did anyone else play the piano? That was such a nice touch!

Every time you see a piano, hit triangle (or Y) to play it. It's awesome!

I said I'd be back when I had evidence. I was not trolling.

Here's the DF article: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-face-off-prototype-2

"The target frame rate is 30FPS - although jumping from a high point and gliding across the more central, heavily populated roads of New York City is a very easy way to drag that down to 25FPS on both HD consoles. It's not in equal measure at every point, but overall the PS3 does offer a noticeably smoother level of performance in like-for-like scenarios, such as cut-scenes and travel, and crucially manages to achieve this with v-sync permanently engaged.

On the other hand, although v-sync is thankfully engaged during in-game cut-scenes, torn frames appear in long clusters during gameplay on 360. This isn't restricted to the upper 10 per cent overscan area of most HDTVs either, but instead runs down its entire height and chops the screen in half for long spells of play, and can be particularly distracting. This at least keeps the game's refresh up to relatively playable speeds, but is far from ideal for the IQ purist, and the performance gains are rarely enough to match the smoother output on Sony's console."

Framerate issues on any console games are because your console is overheating, if you dont do anything about it will die soon... ps3 or 360, doesn't matter

XBox 360 gameplay. Watch when he actually starts to move Heller. It tears every other frame! Are you kidding me? That's the worst screen tearing I've seen in a while! The PS3 doesn't tear at all though, so it's all good for me.

have it for 360, and i dont notice any graphical glitches of any kind. at least not offen and frequent enough to stand out in my memory. this is likely just a troll trying to pull attention

I'm not a troll actually. I read reports and saw youtube videos of the 360 version having loads of screen tearing and I own the PS3 version and it's has none at all. I'm just going by what I've witnessed with my own eyes.

The XBox 360 version is plagued with tons of screen tearing, but the PS3 is complete free from it.

You heard it here first. If you hate screen tearing like I do, it's safe to pick up this game for the PS3. Do not get it for the 360.

Thank you for your time.
