Hell, between Live Arcade and the Wii, some of the most fun games I've played this year had graphics that weren't par for this generation of systems.

Its a deal breaker when the graphical difference is negligible but one costs twice as much as the other.

And just to prove Boogie's point go out and rent/buy/borrow a copy of Resistance 1 and 2 and just look at the difference. Hell you can probably just watch a video of each on youtube but I dont know about that.

I'm saying developers have had more time to learn to work with the 360's hardware, and because of that, the graphics are slightly better than those on the PS3.

Fathom Zero The same could be said of all consoles, ports being what they are. They're all going to be different because of the different hardware. It takes resources to simultaneously develop the same game for two different consoles. It may as well be two different games. I'd go so far as to say that the only good looking PS3 games are the exclusives.
Dec 22nd, 2008 09:32 PM
Dr. Boogie I've heard that part of the reason the PS3 version are often behind, if ever so slightly, is because there are significantly fewer designers out there who know how to work with the hardware. The 360 does have a fair lead thanks to the earlier release.

Fathom Zero Oh, oops.

I just saw the Fallout 3 video on some site a couple weeks ago. In fact, I think IGN did one. I don't go on Gamespot that much. :/ In Dead Space, it looks like the console differences are negligable with the PC taking the cake once again. I think that's how it plays out for a lot of games, with the 360 sometimes beating out the PS3. The PS3 just blows right now.

MetalMilitia There are others if you click the "Next:Dead Space" button at bottom of the article
Dec 22nd, 2008 12:55 PM
Fathom Zero I read that too. It was very interesting. Shoulda done more than one game, I think.
Dec 22nd, 2008 08:01 AM
MetalMilitia There was a PC vs PS3 vs 360 graphics comparison on gamespot recently: LINK

By the looks of it PS3 is the least powerful machine of the three. If you look at the trees or distant details on Fallout 3 they're really bad. 360 and PC are about the same apart from weird gamma settings (and the tress are also a bit dodgy on 360). Of course graphics aren't everything but it's quite interesting none-the-less.

LordSappington Then pay attention.
Dec 22nd, 2008 12:58 AM
Fathom Zero No, actually.
Dec 22nd, 2008 12:36 AM
LordSappington Anyone else notice how most of the time, 360 owners talk about how awesome that game was, and playing the game online, and ps3 owners mostly talk about how 'ps3 is better faggot, it doesn't overheat noob'.

Fathom Zero Xbox 360 components are uniform, unlike PCs, which is a double-edged sword. I love it because everybody's got the same machine to run every single 360 game. You don't have to not play something because it's specs are too high. But it's also the reason why you won't see Crysis anytime soon on the 360. There's been speculation about the PS3, though.

Steam rocks ass and is definitely the PC's Live. Because Live for Windows is stupid.

PC gaming is a bigger pain in the ass than console gaming. My 360 hasn't overheated or red ringed.
Dec 21st, 2008 09:30 PM
Guitar Woman I thought that's what Steam was for.
Dec 21st, 2008 09:11 PM
executioneer it means everyone's playin the same game
Dec 21st, 2008 07:46 PM
Hangie The fuck is that supposed to mean?
Dec 21st, 2008 01:32 PM
Fathom Zero Uniformity and cohesiveness on the Live platform.
