Forums - Gaming - I think it's safe to say the PS3 is the definitive graphics king for this gen

Wait until the Last of Us drops, that game from what I read will not support 3D nor Move, meaning ND will go ham and cheese with that engine on the PS3.

I think that game will be the first one were you will see the Cellz at full force on a mostly single player experience and I predict you will clearly see a difference between The last of Us and U3 graphically, prove me right Naughty Dog

Granted.

However its really only with 1st party exclusives. And the reality is a giant letdown then what the E3 2006 graphics hype was. It aint like the xbox gap with PS2 graphics. And multiplats are generally favoured on 360, even recently with Skyrim and ME3.

But heh, a victory is a victory



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

When it comes to single player campaign the small number of PS3 exclusives (KZ3, UC2&3, GOW3) wins hands down BUT...

Halo Reach and Gears 3 allow 4 player co-op and split screen (2 payer split screen in Gears case) through the campaign. Can you imagine 4 players trying to fit into an Uncharted 3, Killzone 3 or GOW 3 campaign level?

Generally speaking 360 handles open world and sandbox better. RDR, GTAIV, Fallout, Skyrim, Saints Row 2, Kingdoms of Amalaur all look and perform better on 360. PS3 has Infamous 1 & 2 but they have no AA, aggressive LOD, low res alpha and frame rate problems to put it up with the best of the PS3 best. Saints Row 3 performs better on the Sony console but looks better on the 360. Fallout 3 and NV has higher res artwork on PS3 but there's no AA and drops more frames.

Most multiplats are better on 360 but that's more to do with the 360 being lead console. 360 is better at handling PS3 ports than the other way around most but not all of the time.

Sorry guys, guess I'll just post some more screens of these LINEAR CORRIDOR SHOOTERS and such. Too bad the PS3 can't handle all those ugly looking open world games huh?  ヽ(´ー`)┌

Oh, I also wondered why you mentioned Saints Row 2 instead of 3. So I looked up a comparison of 3. Guess what? From lensoftruth.com: "When you look at the overall package as a whole, the PS3 version is the one to buy without a doubt.  Both versions sport quick load times with very small visual advantages and disadvantages, but the performance aspect of the game was just one sided.  If you go with the PS3, you have perfect performance all around.  If you opt for the 360 version however, you will have to make a choice of whether you want massive screen tearing or noticeable frame rate hits.  With that in mind, it is foolish to have to choose one when another version can give you the whole package."

Silly PS3 and your linear corridor games!



Double post. All that messy formattin. Ew.

Those screenshots are lovely and show off the power of the PS3 but there's nothing sandbox/openworld about them. And I believe you missed my comment on Saints Row 3:-

"Saints Row 3 performs better on the Sony console but looks better on the 360."

Wait wait wait. 

The first thing I want to bring up is image sharpness.  In this aspect the 360 version has a noticeable lead here when both versions are pinned up side by side.  In motion however, you probably won’t even see them though.  

As we continued to go forward with the analysis, the reason for this blur became quite clear.  This is none other than Anti Aliasing that manages to cover many jaggies found throughout the game, at the cost of a little blur to the overall image.  This brings us to an advantage that leans toward the PS3.  Anything from shadows to objects in the distance will look fairly smooth on the PS3, but pretty jagged on the 360.  Bear in mind however that while the PS3 version does have an Anti Aliasing advantage, there are a few that manage to slip under the radar in some spots which would hardly make it “jaggy free”.

In terms of texture streaming and pop ins, both versions handle it well.  Draw distance is also pretty evenly matched as well, so there is no fade in disadvantage present either.  Shadows look better on the PS3 by default due to the Anti Aliasing advantage it sports, but aside from that there are no real differences here either

In the PS3 version, screen tearing is hardly an issue as well.  On the other side of the fence however, the 360 has some of the worst tearing imaginable.  Now there is an option to turn on V Sync for the 360 version to help with this, but then you will see a noticeable frame rate drop when the action picks up.  The PS3 version however seems to have no problem with keeping frames up with V Sync already enabled by default.  In the end the results are pretty obvious, it is the PS3 version that will take a commanding lead in performance.

 

So, the Ps3 one looks worse huh?

 

I guess the funny thing is, while I'm combing through this review and looking at the images, I'm just thinking how damn ugly the game looks compared to the screens I've posted, no matter the system. Anywho, we're not arguing about that anymore, are we.



The PS3 does have the best looking games of this generation (in my opinion) but the gap between PS3 and Xbox 360 graphics isn't a big as what we were led to believe it would be when this gen started.

I don't think anyone could really sway a potential buyer either way with a graphics argument. There's a reason we call them the HD twins after all.



Signature goes here!

These thread piss me off, because they're pointless, and what more piss me off is that Sony "Fans" (read graphic whores!) never... NEVER show off Killzone , why the hell not? its the best looking FPS game on a console hands down.

The only thing I'm getting from this thread is that the PS3 is very good at producing graphics in highly scripted and linear games. If that's the sole criteria for being the king of graphics in a generation, then the PS3 does indeed take the crown.

EDIT: Which is of course without taking the PC into account, as it wouldn't be fair to the aging home consoles.

truer words



More expensive console has better graphics? Say it ain't so! Next you'll begin to tell me that newer PCs have better graphics than Playstation 3s!



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
