Bioshock looks dreadful on PS3

PS3 bioshock looks nothing like the OP on my screen. I ran the demo side by side to the pc version and they look pretty much identical as far as texture quality goes, The lighting is different on PS3, its lighter overall but imo it looked better, The framerate was not fantastic though but no worse than the 360 version.

Can someone explain to me the point of threads like this?

You can't do anything about the textures/graphics being worse on the PS3 (if indeed that is the case), and unless you're prepared to buy a 360 to play the "better" version there's no solution to the problem?

So, what's gained by posting threads like this?

Um, owning the console gives him the right to state his opinion because he has had first hand experience - as he HAS one of the consoles he can see for himself that the graphics aren't as good. I don't believe that's trolling at all.

Id say he's making more of an informed decision than most - because he has both consoles, he can see for himself

That's not really the point of Knives post.

He's saying, Just because you have both consoles, Doesn't validate your point more so than someone who doesn't.

I don't own a PS3, But I've played MGS4 several times now. And I would say My point of view on said game would be just as important as say someone who has the console and the game

It allows for arguements, and allows people who have purchased the "better" console to re validate their purchase.

Self satisfaction and reassurance that they have bought into the right company :confused:

Personally I don't care how good or bad it looks on the PS3. Biopap's gameplay is what sucks monkey nuts and 1% sharpness here and there won't help it.

Its the game thats dull not the graphics.

You're missing my point. Wannabedamned has explained it pretty well though.

Both the 360 and PS3 versions of the game run at 720p, devs have stated this.

The whole lower resolution in a port matter is beginning to sound like the old photoshop one 'i can tell it's shopped due to the pixels and having seen many shops in my time'.

Having worked on PS3 games, i assure you it happens and in this case, based on those pics, thats what it "looks" like to me. Ill have to download the demo and take a look myself though.

EDIT: aaaargh the 2gig download is gunna take aggees :)

Ok - I don't want to ruin this thread but I think I understand now :). I still think its more than just the sharpness that's making it look worse though :p

Personally I can't see a difference except for that graphical corruption on the Big Daddy model shown earlier. Anyone who doesn't own Bioshock must buy it for their system no matter what it is.

I did have a pithy retort here but on reflection I think your point is valid, I just dont like the lecturey tone it took, politeness is a bit of a lost art on the internet but it doesn't hurt to try.

SHUT UP FOO'

I'm sorry if it came across as lecturey.
 
Ok no probs, all is forgiven ;).

I can see what people are pointing out, I do feel the 360 looks better regardless of the reason but its not exactly a game wrecker or a level playingfield to judge the two systems graphical prowess on so I dont really see that it matters much.
 
Where do you meet a Big Daddy in the demo, I played the complete demo but did not meet a Big Daddy other than the one you can't shoot?

I also found the framerate and IQ quite good on the PS3, maybe the bad results are LCD calibration related?
 
I played the ps3 demo and thought it was really nice, the art in the game is ace, and it seemed to run really smoothly, almost certainly gonna get this game at some point :)

There's a Big Daddy corpse in the demo that has the bad textures on it, it's in the room before the end (of the demo), with the waterfall going down the stairs. Look carefully for the body.

Apart from that, I couldn't really see any discernable difference. It's not like most ported PS3 games.
