Forums - Gaming - IGN bias against PS3

Reasonable said:
The differences don't have much impact, so I can see why they wouldn't deduct anything.

I mean sure, if you want to be exact then if PS3 is 8.9 then maybe 360 is 8.6 losing 0.3 for the slight visual dip for gameplay and larger dip for cut-scene resolution.

But that's going to make zero difference to gameplay and heck, surely all those shooter loving 360 fans will just skip the cutscenes anyway... (this is a joke BTW)

Lol i know its just a joke, but for a person to skip all cutscenes in FFXIII would like miss out on half the story seeing as how there's so many hrs of cutscenes in this game

Again a sony fan cry off reviews! Its old bro get over it!

The 360 version isnt flawed in anyway it plays the same as the ps3 version infact it has a better frame rate! Yes maybe a few less detailed textures and compressed video but nothing that effects the game play or the feel of the game!!!

bayonetta was BAD in the ps3 infact ot was awful!! The game play suffered it slowed down soo much it mught have well have loaded between combos!! This is not the same issue as a texture out of place is it? The same was with the orange box! It ran worse than the old xbox version and again the frame rate choped!!

360 oweners are used to good quailty games and im telling u ff13 is just about perfect!

I really don't care, most reviews are opinions anyway, I look at reviews with an open mind, I don't let them determine if I am going to buy a game or not, only you know if its something you will enjoy, I will check the reviews out, mostly to see if I agree or disagree with them. I am not a Wii fan but take the conduit for example, scores suck, sales suck, but I has a lot of fun playing the game at a friends house, if it was on 360 or PS3, it would of scored better and sold much better, the Wii just does not have a hugh market for those types of games. You can't always trust reviews from anyone, do your own review on the game, that is the only opinion that matters, yours.

I skipped the cutscenes in Uncharted 2. I hate cinematics, my response is automatic because cinematics in games = lame nearly 100% of the time and im not patient enough to wait to see if the specific cutscene is a corner case. You're probably different!



Do you know what its like to live on the far side of Uranus?

So upon reading on IGN's website that Final Fantasy XIII got a 8.9 on the PS3 I checked the 360 version 8.9...  I thought for a second, the 360 was inferior...I read it many times on different sites across the internet and even youtube videos.  So why was there no seperate review for the definitive version on the PS3 and the inferior version on the 360? 

  1. Don't trust YouTube, in fact, lawl for even bringing that up.
  2. There are differences but they are completely negligible.
  3. I believe there are spots where FFXIII is actually better on the 360 (color mainly I think it was)

I promise you that if sites didn't post a side-by-side comparison and count pixels, you could bring both versions home and you would never notice the difference.

As for bringing up Bayonetta and The Orange Box, those actually had noticeable bad things.  In Bayonetta, it took 6 seconds to bring up the pause menu along with a whole slew of other problems.

...how dare you skip Uncharted 2 cut scenes!!! lol Uncharted 2 had awesome script story but yea to all our own taste =)



Ha.

I've heard a lot of sites being called anti-PS3, but this is the first I'm hearing of IGN warranting the title.

So, I will say this: IGN is one of the most pro-PS3 sites on the internet. Their reviews are badly scored, their news is completely unreliable, and there are many other reasons to dislike them, but anti-PS3 bias isn't one of them.

I think your a bit confused considering Mass Effect 2 9.6, Mass Effect 9.4, Gears of War 9.4, Shadow Complex 9.4, Portal Still Alive 9.2, GTAIV Ballad of Gay Tony 9.2, GTAIV Episodes in Liberty City 9.2, Call of Duty 2 9.0, Prey 9.0, Left For Dead 9.0, and Left for Dead 2 9.0 are all left off of your list.  That is 11 not on your list and no games appearing on PC do not count because they are still considered Microsoft console exlcusives.

Now after I cleared up that oversight I believe there is some reality in the bias. Coming from the home page when I click on a multisystem game it always takes me the 360 version. Clear list of PS3 ports getting considerably lower scores while inferior 360 ports recieve the same scores in America.

At Wanda I am sorry but a clear distinction in video out put in cut scenes having to switch discs poor sound compression and out of place textures are significant enough for the title to have a lower score. Furthermore on the 360 having better load times and framerate that happens because of a huge pregame install that is not required on the PS3 because everything fits onto one disc. So if you factor the 10 plus min installation and time swapping discs into your overall load times the PS3 wins easily

As twesterm said...if they do a different review for FF13, they need to do a different review for:

Ghostbusters, Bioshock 2, Borderlands and many others.

Only games which affect the overall experience amd make it worse should have separate reviews.

Pretty much only reasons a game should lose points on one console Vs the other is huge graphical and sound differences, frame rate issues and crazy load times.
