Why do you guys trust a post by Leo J? In the review it states nothing about the PS3 version looking inferior. It states the PS3 runs worse. It has framerate drops and pauses. Nothing in the review states it is worse. Leo stop trying to make it seem like the world is out against the PS3. I've already commented about you doing this in another thread and you created a thread to try to do it again. If you want to read the review yourself here is the link. http://ps3.ign.com/articles/108/1088085p1.html Second paragraph talks about the 360 and PS3 versions.
P.S. The game got a 6 on the 360 and a 5.5 on the PS3. Why are we even wasting time on this game that obviously is not good.

 

In what sense are framerate drops NOT a graphics issue? The only two aspect of graphics that I care about are having a solid framerate and decent draw distance

Leo created this thread to make it seem IGN was bias towards the 360 and that they state that asthetically the PS3 graphics are worse than the 360 when they mention nothing about that. They mention framerate. Framerate is a performance issue, not a graphical issue in the sene that Leo tried to make it sound.

Framerate is considered a part of graphics by all reviewers I can think of. IGN certainly consider framerate to be a graphics issue, as do our own VGChartz reviews. Graphics encompasses the following things

Artistic merit - in which Little King's Story does well

Technical merit - things like resolution, explosion effects and the like come under here - GT5 and Metal Gear Solid 4 are good examples of this

Performance issues - Framerate, jaggies, poor draw distance

 

Failure in any one of these warrants a decreased score in the graphics section. You of course can consider framerate to not be a graphics issue, but then you will have misunderstandings when reading reviews, as you have misunderstood IGN and Leo-j in this thread. I don't know if you've noticed, but this is probably the first time I have ever stuck up for Leo-j :P I'm not defending his point in order to try to help him troll a console. I am defending him because what he is saying agrees with conventional definitions

however the fact being, if I recall most reviewers Gamespy, Here, IGN, Gamespot, Games Radar... for FFXIII those reviewers said even though it was 576P on xbox it did not detract from the gameplay and recieved an equal score... etc, whereas this does because framerate detracts from gameplay  in a lot of people's opinion, the score the score was dropped in this case.

I'm not saying it's correct, but a lot of revieweres did it, atleast the ones that I go to. Also Bayonetta had the problem as this apparently does and was rated the same way. However, like you said graphics should be reflective of both performance, technical and artistic. But, a lot of review sites tend to not follow that rule... which is a problem with their reviewers.

Dunno what sites your referring to but if you take Meta, then almost all the sites give both versions the same score, the only reason meta for this crap of a game is higher on the box is cuz of official xbox mags keep giving it good scores, nothing else

Heck even IGN Uk gave the same score

This is usual IGN BS, the biase they have against PS3 and Wii are just so apparent now it's not even funny....honestly all their journal articles of late sound like someone lost their period or something bla bla bla whine whine bla bla no wonder most of the staff is leaving

@thelifatree: Even when IGN UK gave the same score? When all other major sites gave pretty much the same score? I think your missing the point here, IGN US is pretty much the ONLY major publisher who deducted points from the PS3 version, guess they saw some special defects where all other reviewers were blind to yes? Let's face it, it's a another BS move by IGN to get page hits, simple as that....

I don't wanna bother keep this convo going longer cuz frankly the game apparently sucks monkey nuts..with all that hype and this is what it ended up being, pathetic....no need to waste our words on the matter

Yah f this game and the police. Still I think IGN loves to milk the 360 bias, but one thing really concerns me trophy count. A few months back IGN had a trophy whore competition; however, by the end of the competition most of the editors were still under trophy level 10 and I had more trophies than all of them. Wouldn't you assume that the people responsible for playing and reviewing PS3 material would have a lot more trophies if they actually played their PS3's.

Shocker, another review site that doesn't know how to review effectively. THIS is why only YOUR opinion matters.

Yeah yeah...everything 360 is terrible. PS3 FTW! Lets move on...

IGN is just a biased bullshit site.

This kinda reminds me of a thread on VGC about IGN and their scores on FFXIII a while back...

IGN has no problem giving PS3 scores less than the 360 version, but when its evident that a 360 game is worst than the PS3 they'll always score them the same.

The worst part of all this is simply their inconsistency. If IGN wants to do separate reviews then fine, but not to only games that makes the PS3 inferior.

If anybody finds IGN reviews that has the 360 score lower than the PS3 should post it.

I betcha if there is a game IGN reviewed that the PS3 score is higher than the 360 its probably a crappy game that nobody's gonna play/buy anyways while still maintaining the image that big multiplat games are better on 360.

At least Gamespot had the balls to give the PS3 score for Dragon Age higher than the 360.

You always have to remember when watching video of a game is that how the image is captured may not be what you see on your screen especially if it has to do with color. Things you can pick up is frame rate, aliasing, textures etc.



themanwithnoname on 12 May 2010

*yawn* Just another typical BS PS3 conspiracy theory. Have any of you actually played the game? Yeah, that's what I thought. This is no different than the crappy "Edge is biased!" threads we get five times a year.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.
