Forums - Gaming Discussion - Digital Foundry & Lens Of Truth Square Off Over Mass Effect 2 PS3 Demo

I find the way in which DF presents its findings to be more credible than LOT. I'd also like to hear definitive word about what Bioware did to port the Demo to PS3. Whether they used the ME3 engine, or whether they did a more standard port.

It appears, due to some things looking better on PS3, that they must have used an upgraded engine for the demo because it's unlikely the engine used for ME2 on PC/360 would lead to PS3 looking better in any situations. That being the case, PS3 ME2 being made on the ME3 engine but only being arguably better looking (at best) than the 360 version, and slightly worse looking (at worst) means PS3 version of ME3 might look a bit rough compared to 360 version of ME3.

I am absolutely getting ME2 on PS3, and I hope it sells well enough for Bioware to know that going multiplat was the right call for this franchise. Getting a slew of GOTY's will help PS3 sales I hope. It certainly gives it good marketing material for PS3. And because it's on PC they don't even need to mention 360 in the PS3 ads talking about it's GOTYness: "The 2010 PC game of the year comes to PS3, with exclusive new material..."; "In the face of such great PC franchises such as Civ V and Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty, Mass Effect 2 emerged as the best game of 2010, and now it's coming to PS3..."


weird question, I thought the comic section was coming to 360 as well, and pc for that matter.

One minute Digital Foundry is fanboys and other minute it's Lens Of Truth, just N4G fanboys making up accusations because they are angry at Bioware saying it was the definite version.

I sort of looks like Bioware just rearranged shadows for their Mass Effect 3 "Engine"...

 

 

Miranda looks creepy as hell on the PS3 unfortunatly

 

Miranda's face looks creepy period.

Anyways from what I've observed, it looks like the 360 version has better textures while the PS3 version has better (supposedly) lighting.

so what do you expect..?, oh i get it.., the Lens of Truth must be the Wii fanboys who's scared enough to HD era....



Actually digitial foundry wasn't crazy about the PS3 version either so this article seems out of place trying to create a larger gap between the two analysis than there actually was.

I was about to say the same thing.

"Based on the demo code released last night, our conclusion is that the PS3 version of Mass Effect 2 is different as opposed to definitive, and while nobody is likely to be disappointed with the game, a direct comparison with the Xbox 360 version suggests that while some elements are improved, others have been downgraded and the effectiveness of some of the aesthetic changes will all come down to personal taste." -Digital Foundry
