PS3 has the gimped version of Resident Evil 5.

Is the demo out for this on the PS3 yet? Its been out for a month on the 360, I just had a search for it but can't find it for the PS3, where the hell is it? :mad::mad::mad:
 
I would say its a shame but i honestly thought "meh" to the demo wasnt anything new at all imo.

I really enjoyed RE4 which from the demo is all 5 seems to be only difference is graphics/location.

It felt stiff and sluggish. I miss the old RE =(
 
It doesn't bother me in the slightest. I still play all the Resi's to this day and the dated PS1 graphics don't bother me at all. I'll still be ordering this on the PS3. :)
 
I guess it's just down to how skilled they are at making use of the PS3's architecture, take Tomb Raider Underworld for example, PS3 version ended up becoming superior, the 360 version is @ 1024x576p, where as the PS3 version is rendered @ a full 1024x720p, So the 360 version ends up suffering from the slight blurriness that is usually akin to PS3 ports, also the PS3 version has less jaggies, and better shadows and lighting, I'm not sure about the textures though, they look a lot more detailed on the PS3 but that could be because of the resolution difference.

I think what this goes to show is that end of the day both systems are very very similar graphically but the small difference we see between multi-platform games can usually be attributed to different dev's working on each platform and taking advantages of each systems architecture differently, sometimes we'll see the 360 ahead slightly, other times the PS3.

I know this is a sore point for some but I do believe that technically the PS3 is the superior machine and will be able to edge ahead on the GFX front but not by a large margin, and I think it's something that we're only going to really see from mainly first party games from Sony and big exclusive titles as those dev teams have the extra resources and time to take advantage of the PS3's architecture, on the multi-platform gaming front I can''t really see things changing much, tbh I think the 360 will ultimately win out on that front with the majority of multi-platform game being slightly superior on the 360.

Any way just for the record I have an Elite & PS3 but I will be buying the PS3 version of RE5.

I think its just that there are two versions. One is obviously better looking than the other, so why not get the better one? There is really no feasible reason to get the inferior version unless you prefer the PS3 controller or something like that which i can understand.

PS3 games are more expensive in my local video game store than the 360. Not by much, like max £5 more. Not sure what the price will be on this, but generally, PS3 games tend to be more expensive instore (not counting online here).

Why are you purposefully getting a gimped version? Do you... love your PS3 more? You know we cannot tolerate such ludicrous stances here. :p

To be honest, the PS3 version still looks graphically superior to 99% of games, it's not like the textures have halved in resolution or anything. Also, I don't know if it's just me or not, but the PS3 version appears to have some alpha texture multisampling that the 360 is missing. Just look at the tree leaves and the clothesline in the example link in the OP.

I hump my 360 a lot more than a do my ps3 but it keeps giving me those puppy dog eyes so i need to give her some attention.
 
I am going to be getting the PS3 version and I have both consoles.

Co-Op mode and I know more PS3 folk in real life for that. Controller preference. I find PS3 games cheaper tbh as they can be imported as well and I buy online. Also if my friend wants to borrow it what use if the 360 version to me if they have a PS3? Just a few (possible) reasons, I am sure there are more.

Either way he doesn't have to give a reason. His choice.

You say there is no feasible reason and then give a possible feasible reason as an example yourself, although my reason for buying the PS3 version over the 360 is different, I will be getting it on the PS3 as that is the console I still prefer to collect the bulk of my games on, plus the sound of my Elite does still bother me a little, I do most of my gaming in the early hours of the morning so I can't really drown out the sound of the console with my sound system and I don't want to be forced into wearing headphones, (and yes this is with the games running from HDD), I realize that is a subjective issue that may not bother many people but it bothers me, also I know 360's do seem to have varying degrees of noise levels, my first ever 360 for example was almost silent on the dash.
 
I think in some cases the PS3 version looks better and vice versa.

like in this image, even though the PS3 version is blurred a bit i think it makes the textures look a lot smoother and authentic. But on the 360 screenshots the smoke and bloom seems slightly more natural.

I'll go with the 360 version as it's the only version i can get :D.
