Forums - Gaming - My Personal PS3/360 Face-Off

I recently got a 360s and with it I got three games that I also own on the PS3. 

Enslaved:

I liked this game on the PS3 but ultimately it was held back by an unacceptable amount of screen tearing. Screen tearing is fairly common on the PS3 if the game uses Unreal Engine 3, but Enslaved is probably the worst example of this, and it ruined much of experience for me. 

Enslaved on the 360 is a much more enjoyable experience. The screen tearing is all but gone and the game seems to have a more vibrant look to it. Also, objects in the distance are much more detailed. I did notice slightly more texture popins here and there on the 360, and the camera seems to be little more herky-jerky, but the 360 version is clearly the superior.

Red Dead Redemption:

PS3 version is a really good looking game, but I was shocked at how much better the graphics are on the 360. The gameplay is pretty much identical, each seeming to have it's own quirks with the camera and texture popins. Red Dead is a phenomenal accomplishment and a great game, but one that truly shines on the 360. 

Crysis 2:

When I played through this on the PS3 I was somewhat disappointed with the graphics, for a few reasons: the lower resolution gave an odd stretched look to everything, the buildings had a slighlty out of focus look to them, and the overall picture quality just seemed slighlty muddied. 

I expected the 360 version to really shine over the PS3. And with great expectations, disappointment often follows. C2 on the 360 does look really good, higher resolution, the buildings and environments look clear and vibrant, but up close the shadows have a strange blurry look to them. I was surprised to see that objects up close, anything in your immediate vision looks better on the PS3, while objects that are in the distance look better on the 360. What this means is, in real time gameplay the PS3 actually looks better, but if you stop to smell the roses the 360 looks better. Also texture popins are much more noticable on the 360 and in some cases entire sections of buildings never loaded correctly. I thought the AI was bad on the PS3, but it is all but broken on the 360.

The 360 looks better if you just want to stand and stare off at the sunset, but during actual gameplay the PS3 looks better and is much more stable. The 360 version is glitchy/ buggy and the AI is some of the worst I have seen. To my surprise, the PS3 version is the better game.

Naaa games make the system period especially good games.

That's weird. I've played plenty of games on all of my consoles and none of them have ever needed a tampon.

LOL oh shit

It was pretty much well-known that the game itself was buggy on both consoles.

I beat it on ps3 and ran into some bugs here n there. Honestly though, it was far from game breaking......ok maybe I'm speaking too early...

At one point early'ish in the game (where you battle the chopper in the middle of destroying the mainframes in that guy's office), my game froze and forced me to turn off the ps3 through the switch in the back. Turned it back on, loaded that area again, froze few seconds later. Repeat, froze. It was frustrating, and I finally decided to go back to the start.

Really though, aside from that game was fine for the most part. Good game, but glad I didn't buy it.

I was tipsy when I said that woops.

Not when your comparing two consoles that until kinect and move were almost the same. The differance in graphics is usually negligable and not worth getting uptight about really. When there are major differences than I say the developers did not do the job right. Equality is desirable in my eyes.



Why did you buy 3 games you already owned on the PS3 rather than buying new games for the 360? Was it specifically to compare the games between systems? Cause comparing those 3 games does not say much. We all know both systems are capable, and given the right developing team with the appropriate know-how, both systems will shine beautifully.

I would have bought games that I haven't purchased before, but that's just me.
