Xbox360 VS PS3 graphics comparison (round 5)

So essentially, they're showing that some multiplatform games look better on the PS3, and some look better on 360?

Shocker.


And why would the PS3 be much better in any way? Minimal work goes into porting it to PS3. They COULD improve it for PS3, but never do. They don't have to.

As someone said in the comments, the exclusives is where the best graphics designed for the console are to be found, but then it's impossible to compare.

ummm i call BS...............Uncharted 2 > anything the 360 has ever put out.

and i own both consoles b4 the fanboy chants.

You clearly have not understood what i have wrote.

I'm talking about the blurriness of titles on the PS3. Take any multiplat game and compare the two. It'll always be clearer and sharper on the xbox. I know this as fact as i have tested loads of games between the two platforms and the xbox is always clearer and crisper.

I just prefer the image outputted by the xbox.

O yeah, better put in the obligatory, "I love my PS3" before anybody calls fanboy... :-/

Also, yes uncharted did look fantastic and was a good game. Shame it was overshadowed by MW2, which for me, grabbed my MP time. But these exclusives are few and far between and a greater percentage of games are better on the xbox.

I beg to differ... but then it'll only end up in a fanboy war which this place has lacked for quite a while and I'd rather keep it that way.

Yes, but you don't have an Xbox which negates anything you think on the matter of the blurriness on the PS3. (If you do, i'm mistaken and i apologise)

If you beg to differ, please go ahead and write some points down on the matter. I would like to hear your thoughts but for me the PS3 was always blurrier and the xbox was always clearer on numerous setups and xbox's/PS3's. I'm not saying the PS3 is junk by the way, i am merely saying that it is not as crisp and clear as the xbox. That is all.

I did actually. I sold it to Baplad on here.

I think that you are correct in some examples, but there are just as many multiformat games which look sharper on the PS3, or at least, that's what these comparisons would have us believe. FIFA for one always felt sharper on PS3 to me.

Exclusives are the true way to look at graphical capability and compare the top two from each genre, GoW2 and Uncharted 2 and you'd need glasses to not see the superior graphics in U2, granted it is a newer game. Alan Wake is supposedly the next visual candy to appear on the 360.
 
You can hardly notice the difference in each frame by frame, in motion I at least would be unlikely to notice.

Its not a fact, I have both, the only difference between the two is the xbox 360 makes everything rendered in the game world look like shiny plastic (GOW being a prime example), making a bloody racket as it does so.
 
Correct me if im wrong here.

For those that find the PS3 to look muddy then perhaps part of this is down to the cables, inputs on the display and tolerances each console may have.
On comparisons Ive seen yes PS3 is a bit duller looking but it seems X360 just uses a higher contrast output! The differences are easily matched with altering contrast on a TV and tweaking. Therefore one isnt necessary worse than the other just different.

If you want to get technical then again I believe PS3 is actually seperior in its HDMI interface.
X360 is HDMI 1.2 VS PS3 is HDMI 1.3 This is one reason PS3 can support 7.1 Multichannel Audio and will be able to offer *DUAL 1080P Output for upcoming Stereo Scopic 3D Blu Ray Movies and Games. The "HDMI 1.3 Spec" has much superior Bandwidth over HDMI 1.2

*This will require a "HDMI HIGH SPEED" 1.3 Specification cable

Also to take note PS3 was one of the first ever HDMI 1.3 devices released.

Dude, what's happened to you?, you never used to be a raving loony 360 fan boy years ago?, the stuff I see you spouting out about the PS3 these days is completely ridiculous, I understand that people have their favourite consoles, I own them all but it's no secret that I favour the PS3 but at least I try my best to be objective and fair, I agree that still a large majority of multi-plat games do suffer marginally on the PS3, blurriness being one of the bigger minus points in these titles usually due to 'quincunx' anti-aliasing which often gives games a 'Vaseline effect', but regardless, multi-platform development is not a reliable testing bed for comparing the hardware prowess of each system due to the complexities of the PS3's architecture and how many developers approach this.

Many developer teams are on a very limited budget from their publishers and do not see it being financially viable to extend development on the PS3 version of a multi-plat game when 99% of people will not even notice that it's dropping a few frames or running at a slightly lower resolution, but that being said there's definitely is an improved skill-set for the PS3's architecture these days, most recently the implementation of morphological anti-aliasing running off the PS3's SPU's in the latest multi-plat title 'saboteur' looks like it 'could' be a big step forward for anti-aliasing on the PS3 which should help eliminate the texture blur we are seeing in some of the multi-plat titles.

That being said most multi-plat titles these days seem to be pretty much on par with each other, with a 'few' even having plus points over the 360 versions which would have been unheard of a couple of years ago, as developers learn to better grapple with the PS3's architecture so then they are able to further enhance the PS3's ports and multi-plat engines within a respectable time period that is cost effective for the publisher.

Overall like skippi90 says you really need to look to the first (and second) party titles that have a larger budget to see which hardware is most impressive, and atm that is the PS3.

That's because devs don't take the time to optimise for the 360.Everybody knows straight ports don't work.

I assume you mean the opposite. They don't take the time to optimise for the PS3 due to it being more 'difficult' to code for and so any botch job straight port from the 360 which most devs make their lead platform for this reason will do.

Fact of the matter is, if there's a shortcut, they'll take it.

no. they are just a way for someone to try to get one up on another gamer and is realy quite sad.

can honestly say that when playing games on PS360 i've never once thought game A looks better than game B. if i wanted games to impress with looks, then PC would be the way to go.
 
To be fair I can't notice much difference between those screens. I don't really take GameSpot as a reputable source of anything anymore.

It's easier just to say both consoles are good, and offer great experiences. Comparing two different consoles such as these is kind of pointless. It would be like comparing a SNES and a Mega Drive. What's the point?

Both are good, why can't everyone leave it at that?

I decided to say something afterall, I've had a bath and a think. Yes, thats right. OCUK was in my head while i was naked.

If uncharted 2 was a 360 release my comments would be identical. It is the best looking game to date. I don't see why its sad to point that out. Can you explain to me why its sad to say what game is currently the best looking game?
