*"High-definition video or HD video refers to any video system of higher resolution than standard-definition (SD) video, and most commonly involves display resolutions of 1280×720 pixels (720p) or 1920×1080 pixels (1080i/1080p). This article discusses the general concepts of high-definition video, as opposed to its specific applications in television broadcast (HDTV), video recording formats (HDCAM, HDCAM-SR, DVCPRO HD, D5 HD, XDCAM HD, HDV and AVCHD), the optical disc delivery system Blu-ray Disc and the video tape format D-VHS."

does this put paid to such nonsence?

You should remember to add a source.

OT: Hardly a night and day difference, but I suppose this makes the PS3 version the one to get. Even so, you can't trust a few screenshots for a general graphics analysis. Mazinger even took back the 'foliage' shot, because he said it was premature to start judging without more material. You still have more important bits to consider, like framerate, and finding neutral shots of the game. We have no idea of knowing if these shots were specifically chosen because they are in the high end of what the 360 version can output (I wouldn't normally be suspicious of something like that, but seeing as SE already "screwed up" once, they haven't really garnered my trust on this). Adding insult to injury, Mazinger said the PS3 shots were from the demo, so the visual quality should have gone up on the PS3 version (however slight it might be).

@ binary solo

"I have my doubts that the 360 shots are totally legit. Esp that one of the girl. Her hair looks so grainy at the ends it almost looks like a scan of a magazine photo of a screen shot. It's also got he slightly washed out look of a picture scan."

That is in the PS3 too. It's because the hair is being created using alpha-to-coverage, which is a method for rendering transparent textures without as big a performance penalty as doing it in a better looking way. Both GT5 and Forza 3 use the same method for maintaining their 60 FPS.

It was there, OK i should have put Wikipidia but it was there.

Well the flaws in the DVD medium is beginning to crop-up an issue here. M$ wanna go Blue-Ray way or still waiting for another medium?



i think its unfair to bash 360 version, i wouldnt score ps3 game higher off differences like this, its the overall look must be taken into account id call them same even though ps3 game might be more detailed.

its basically 3 other things that will make me buy ps3 version.

*no disc swapping, disc swapping was in ps1 era
*no scratches on disc
*collectability is higher

Does it really matter? The game is still playable.
I'm sure plenty of 360 owners will still buy and enjoy the game.

This...a million times this. I'm buying the game on PS3, but the differences being pointed out here are so small I really don't think they will matter. I can see why people bring them up, considering this is pretty much done with every multiplatform game nowadays, but if a person only owns a 360 this should not bother them AT ALL.

exactly...I think it look's pretty d@mn good, gamer's to day are completely spoiled..



I AM BOLO

100% lover "nothing else matter's" after that...

ps:

Proud psOne/2/3/p owner.  I survived Aplcalyps3 and all I got was this lousy Signature.

How many flamebait threads are going to be created about FFXIII? Are you Sony fans so butthurt that the 360 got your precious FF series that you will create endless threads to try to bash the 360's version? I'm glad the PS3 finally has a port of a game that looks better, congratulations Sony. Either way the graphics on this game are pretty weak on either console so it doesn't really matter.

Actually, the 360 version is a port. And it shows.


the 360 version isnt a port

^oh yes it is. It was completed on PS3 before development for the 360 started.



More 360 shots

 



Is the 360 version really 576P ?

A comparison shot from meristation (I made it smaller to fit the screen). The textures of  the background environment tells the whole story, as does the difference between the two Hopes(yellow shirt guy). The top version looks to be lower resolution. Check out the full screens for a better look. It (referring to the 360 screens) is not as bad as some people make it out it to be but there is a noticeable difference when looking at it top/bottom, probably won't even notice unless the eye has spent alot of time with both versions. Though the higher the resolution of the screens, the more obvious it gets.

The you can see the full screen shots here: 360 PS3



Okay, that hair is really starting to annoy me >_>
