The Lens of Truth comparaison don't show much of a difference between the PS3 version and the 360 version. Nothing to worry I say.

Nothing to worry about, in that the game will likely play the same, but the PS3 version still looks noticeably better in many ways. Kinda like the differences between Red Dead Redemption on 360 and PS3, but in reverse: game was great on both, but the 360 version looked nicer.

On that, were Valve helped with their PS3 version, as it's pretty rare to see a dev get it right on PS3 for the first time?

Valve hired some Naughty Dog employees back in 2010 and they tweaked the engine to be PS3 compatible. Must be one of the reasons why the PS3 version looks better a multiplatform is finally using the PS3 assets intelligently.

EDIT: Unless, of course, they screw up on performance in some way.

Hold on this is really true? You mean temporarily, or actually that ND employees left ND to join Valve?

Actually, not temporarily. As in now they are ex-ND employees working for Valve.
