Like real life where Ps3 is also outnumbered by 360. what a great social commentary

I'm not sure that was the intention of the esteemed moderators on this forum...

 

[Cataferal]

Can someone explain why this is 50 pages long?

I've actually seen the term "game breaking" used while skimming over it. :lol

Guys, they're almost fucking identical. If this thread seriously manages to get bigger and bigger when the game is out at midnight, I'll feel sad for gamers everywhere.

They're the same game pretty much. Just play it and enjoy. :\

Exactly...

Dear Neogaf Mods,

If the size of this thread exceeds the official one, please ban me.

PS: Otherwise, just make me a Mod. That looks like 24/7 entertainment.

 

[Kosma]

Only watched that once and wasn't paying much attention to it.

Awful sequel.

Yeah, the sequel was shit.

 

[fse]

Seems that quaz dude is gonna post the rez of the ps3 ver. I bet it is the same lol.

Better yet, Realise that we understand the need for a "septic tank" of a thread to keep the crap from spewing into the other thread, we're still here, still watching, and importantly still fully willing to ban, so try not to make your crap stink too much

 

[plagiarize]

No no no. You're completely missing the point of this thread.

STFU FAG

was that better? or does it need more venom? i'm just trying to fit in.

 

[PuppetMaster]

Look at the objects especially in the background in these images.

Look how the filters on the 360 version make it looks all splotchy like some kind of van goh impessionist painting. Intentional art direction?

Look at how much more softer and natural things blend into the background on the PS3 version.

It's like 2 totally different games. Do reviewers just not have the eye for this stuff? Or is it just very difficult to see in motion?

and you don't like it not because of the fanboys but because your XBOX is losing in the comparison and you're tryin to discredit it

The point is not to reach a conclusion. But to endlessly and blindly defend your corner to the bitter end.

Let's play the fun game where we grab great and/or crappy screen grabs from completely different areas of the game just to prove our point! Everyone has fun!

Hint: it's only a good comparison if they are showing the same thing.

The chap at beyond3d said it is possible the the PS3 version has post processing.

 

[neorej]

Actually. The thought of having this on my PC gaming rig with dual cores + 8800GT has me salivating. No pop-in or texture problems @ 60 fps @ 1080p +AA. Awesome.

Never forget: pop-ups in SanAndreas on PC were as worse as they were on PS2.

I don't think its fair to compare screens off a lossy video to lossless shots off the framebuffer. Capture cards and the eventual re-encode would destroy fine dithering details like that.

Also, stop hotlinking my screenshots or your going to be very sorry (rehost that, like right now).

 

[szaromir]

Since when depth-of-field, clearly visible in the 360 version, is not post-processing?

 

[rhino4evr]

I just looked at a bunch of comparisons shots, and I cannot tell the difference between the two. either will the majority of people playing.

 

[cyberheater]

I'm not trolling. I'm just injecting some gentle humour here and there. Tongue in check style.

I already said that I'm getting the PS3 version. You know. For my PS3. The one that I paid the equivalent of over $850. The launch machine that I queued up for at midnight in a freezing cold night in the middle of Glasgow. Scotland.

 

[Balthier]

ya the subtle softness.

you're in denial if you think the ps3 pic doesn't look better. I don't know if the pics present the feel of the two versions correctly but if they are I like the ps3 version much more.

Man, that was a cold night. Which store?

 

[plagiarize]

i thought that the 'splotchy' filter was on purpose to make the game look more like the cover art, and i thought both versions have it.

it's unquestionably intentional.

 

[fse]

Never said it looked bad.
I am getting both versions, I could care less which one is better as long as I am playing it.

Not really a fair comparison. The first shot is one of the most beautiful game shots i've ever seen whilst the second shot looks a bit meh.

You queued up at midnight for the PS3? :lol I went in to Argos on the launch day Friday afternoon to pick up mine. They had 47 in stock.

They don't. The PS3 one is from a HD video, and the other is a frame buffer capture.

GAME in the middle of Sauchiehall Street. It was worth it though.

I was at Gamestation, Union St. Police escort out the building and everything. The crowd of kids outside was pretty big...

 

[Dot50Cal]

Change the fucking link, dude.

I warned his ass. Fucking 1MB PNG posted as an image link and he doesnt even rehost it? Use up my bandwidth? I don't think so.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Why do people STILL hotlink in this day and age?

I'm going to go ahead and say I have no idea who Nicole Bass is and I AM TOTALLY FINE WITH THAT SO DON'T PUT A PICTURE OF HER OR IT UP.

Dot50cal you bastard I almost had a seizure. Your hotlinking image is one of the most evil ones ever. I demand an apology when you read this. Oh god my eyes.

Love the video description. The legendary band WAR (NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED). Oh that makes it ok then!

Actually. The thought of having this on my PC gaming rig with dual cores + 8800GT has me salivating. No pop-in or texture problems @ 60 fps @ 1080p +AA. Awesome.

That + the awesomeness of keyboard + mouse and the incredibly straight forward custom radio station setup.

I'm still hoping it will be quicker than the last 3 as I presume they'll be going from 360 to PC rather than ps2 to PC which should be a lot easier. Of course they might just all be working on DLC for the time being. We shall see.

It's all right though. Still looks good. Thread size will double. 100 pages here I come.

 

[McLovin]

Oh man.. why is this thread so massive. Slightly better frame-rate/less pop-in/smoother edges on ps3... DLC down the line on the 360. Seems pretty cut and dry to me :/

[painey]

that ps3 pic on this page looks incredible.. like a photoshop, the background especially. Im sure the 360 version doesnt look that bad all the time, just a bad shot or something.

No. Framerates are roughly equal on both platforms. It's post like yours that legitimize this thread...

 

[danwarb]

So the reason the PS3 version looks softer is because it's upscaled.

 

[Yoboman]

And a number changes everything again (not really)

 

[plagiarize]

best quote Quaz for the full effect.

regardless PS3 media look better for me, the light and atmosphere is more real (maybe HDR vs X360 MDR, post-process...), i agree with global reviews feeling but more comparison screenshots would be good
it's interesting, it shown that number of pixel isn't enough for determine better visual

throws another barrel of gasoline onto the fire
