PS3 vs Xbox 360

The only game I could notice any difference on was NHL2k7 and got to say the ps3 version looked a lot better.Still not trading my 360 in though, don't see any point atm ;)

i prefer the fighter models in PS3, but the lighting of the background/scenery is better in 360. Think i missed the point :?

No the point was how badly they had messed up with the lightings/backgrounds in comparison to the PS3 version :)
 
wow so they ****** up the contrast then took some screens , way to go indapendant games reviewer

why the hell is this thread still here , why did the op even make it ? theres a million threads like it

surely taking screens comes direct from the machine, and not the tv?
 
using what ?

edit - i stand corrected

Complementing each piece is a series of screenshot galleries at full HD resolution 24-bit RGB using the PS3's HDMI digital output and the Xbox 360's precision VGA display mode, both professionally calibrated

but theres no way fight night looked that bad when i played it , no way at all

Both very good consols and both quite even what one has up on the other the other wins back in another area

Overall for me the 360 has the edge just because its a lot cheeper and has lots more games and some great exclusives

These 3 things are very important i think
 
Are any of these made as PS3 games or are they ports? Pretty sure none of these are really a fair comparison.
 
Dont know, i find the 360 too dark for games sometimes, but the game mode on my TV sorted that out. GFX wise id say there is very little in it looks wise, but the way the consoles deliver the GFX is totally different. I find the 360 very jerky to play at times, and it seems to struggle to play smoothly at times, especially in big fights in FPS games, COD3 is shocking at times, whereas the PS3 is generally silky smooth when playing.

From playing on both machines I'd agree. Yet many reviews say the PS3 suffers from low FPS and frequent slowdowns. I can't say I've seem many to be honest and it's certainly no worse than the 360. Strange!
 
I have neither machine yet, but I do think it depends on personal preference over which is better. And what perspective you have on console gaming.

To me personally, a console is first and foremost a gaming machine. I dont want to pay over loads of money for some tech I'm never going to use. So from my perspective the 360 is the best choice when considering price, gaming library, online gaming capabilities and performance.

However someone else might enjoy movies and high tech gear (BluRay, HDMI 1.3, Wi-fi etc) so the PS3 would be a better option for them.

But to me, console gaming isn't about that stuff, its purely about the games. I havent seen anything on the PS3 (given its supposed superiority) that hasn't been matched or bettered on the X360.... and I guess by the time the PS3 does start to show its stuff (if it has it) no doubt M$ will have Xbox 3 waiting in the wings. ;)

It's already been said, in this thread, and by the majority of developers,

Both have slight strengths and weakness over each other, but the quality of final output is to all intents and purposes equal.

This is backed up by looking at titles that have come out on 1 platform, then released months later on the other platform after some extra tweaking, you find that whichever has had the extended development time, looks better then the other..

For example,
1. PS3 Oblivion comes out 12 months after the 360 version and has some 'improvements'..
2. RR7 PS3 comes out 12 months after Ridge Racer 6 on the 360, the PS3 version look slighly better
3. Virtua Fighter 5 on the 360 is coming out months after the PS3 version, and strangely it looks better (according to the developers, who've shown the 360 screen shots)

And this trend is set to continue..
CMR Dirt is released first on the 360, I bet that 4 months later, the PS3 version will have the edge...

However, despite all comparisons, etc, Sony's marketing machine is making the difference, I am sure 8/10 people 'believe' the PS3 is much more powerful, and at the end of the day, that's more important then facts..
 
Have these forums become stuck in rut, or am I having a serious case of deja-vu. Tech specs arguments lol hey welcome back to 2005, these arguments cannot be won, forget about it go out drink beer have a laugh spend some time with the missus and then play games on the system you have forget about what the other guy has.
