Eurogamer often notes in their head to head comparisons that the PS3 versions look softer. I can't remember their exact explanation but the softening is done to disguise the way the game is internally rendered and/or the lack of AA.
Bioshock looks dreadful on PS3
- Thread starter Johnnytoxic
- Start date
Tried the demo yesterday, graphics were horrible - game stuttered and the frame rate seemed lower than the 360's too! Wont be buying for the new content I'm afraid
Really? I didn't notice any of this
If it did occur, then I was probably too busy playing to notice.Scort.

Scort.
Well I've got the game for the PC and 360, and I can say this is definitely the worst looking version - the lack of AA is awful too! There were jaggies all over the place and I thought it looked horrible
The PS3 looks horrible.It looks exactly the same?
Don’t want to be rude or funny but if you can’t see any difference maybe there is something wrong as I can see a huge difference! The PS3 images are blurry and you can’t see they kind of detail like you can in the Xbox version.
Are people comparing the small images, or clicking on them and comparing the large images ?
The PS3 images look much better if you look at the full size image although there is to me an obvious difference in quality between the 360 and PS3 versions.

if you run the pics through photoshop and apply a little sharpening, nothing else, they actually look better than th e360 shots. i think we're looking at something similar to gtaIV on the ps3, where bumping up the sharpness on the tv would transform the image. but id have to dwnload the demo to try it, and i cant be bothered 
Bioshock sucked anyway
The storytelling, artistic direction and atmosphere were truly a breakthrough for computer games, unfortunately imo the game play was below average. It was because the game had nearly all of the makings of potentially the best game ever but missed so badly on one of the key aspects that makes it one of the biggest letdowns ever for me. It didn't suck, it just could have been so very much more.
/agree terribly blurry, tbh I don't believe the shots, there's no way there can be that much difference between the two. People saying that it's different rendering engines/harware, it's only that if it's lazy coding.It looks exactly the same?
It was well overhyped, it didn't suck so much as it was sub-par bore-o-thon, everyone seemed to get fireworks in their panties about the weapons which for some reason 'they' seemed to think were revolutionary, it was nothing that hadn't been done before.Bioshock sucked anyway

I meant the actual game.
Sorry, didn't make myself clear. I meant the PS3 demo and the xbox full game. Played both.
I personally think the person who did the article has taken an image and done some editing to it and produced 2 copies to play down the PS3 version even though they are identical on the full game, picture quality wise.

Response from the 2K Community manger, I'm pretty surprised actually, seems like quite an honest reply, it's great when company's take on-board the community's concerns and look into addressing them as promptly as 2k has.
Also if you force the game to run in 720p most of the blurriness dissipates.
Exactly, the way people overreact on here sometimes is just silly, it just looks softer to me, but running it in forced 720p with sharpness upped on my panel I can barely see any blurriness, certainly nothing like in the comparison pics.
There has also been an issue with the big daddy textures, although if you've the read response I posted above from the 2k community manager it apparently slipped by, hopefully they will fix/patch it.

Now before jumping all over these pic's with stupid responses like 'OMG LOLLLZZZZ 360>PS3' make sure you've read the entirety of my post.

I'm sorry but anyone who thinks the 360 version is just sharper needs their eyes testing - the textures look a lot better imo. And there's also the jaggies...
