Forums - Gaming Discussion - Civilization Revolution (PS3 vs 360)

The demo seemed promising. Waiting for some reviews to get a general feel for what works / doesnt work before purchasing.

They're indistinguishable, for the most part. I think my PS3 tends to look better (upscales better? not sure), but that's probably not true for everyone who owns both.

Honestly Civ: Rev seems way too simplistic for me. I much prefer Civ4 on the PC.

Man I just hope that Civ has uncompressed audio. If any game needs it, it is this one.

Like all those gametrailers comparisons that were proved to be forgeries... I would trust GameTrailers for anything these days.



Lost my faith in VGChartz. Too many stupid and ignorant Americans, even as moderators.

It's a shame, really. "The Boss" should do something radical about this Americanization, but it seems hardly feasible, so my days here are numbered.

 You might want to edit your post, you are giving conflicting comments.

This version plays perfectly well without a keyboard and mouse. After playing the demo several times I don't think its dumbed down, its more streamlined and targeting a different much faster gameplay model. It wont ever supplant the main pc civs but its still a great game from what I've seen.

Thats impossible(and from what I've seen) the PS3 upscales via software whereas 360 has an upsclaer chip built in.

Since when is upscaling hardware better than software, and not merely faster (and unchanging, which is not always a benefit)?

If upscaling is done in software on the PS3... then its not very expensive (or its done on a SPU), and thus is almost pointless to have done in hardware to begin with. If upscaling was expensive, you might get a "better" version by having hardware that can do a more complex algorithm in the same amount of time (or less). From what I'm seeing with Civ:Rev, the PS3 is looking cleaner.

Say, for argument's sake, the PS3 uses the 7th, reserved SPU (Sony reserves one... devs only get to use 6), to do upscaling, amongst several other tasks. A SPU is a ridiculously powerful processor for many different kinds of algorithms (image processing included), and any cheap (meaning an inexpensive component MS might add to their hardware) "hardware" implementation could possibly (even probably) be completely blown away by a "software" SPU upscaler, in terms of both speed and quality.

Its my opinion, that my PS3 looks better when upscaling than my 360 does. That's that. Lots of folks agree with me. Plenty don't. Sorry that you don't like my opinion, but... its far from "impossible".
