omg sad to know this!!!
i was planning to buy the game at first , now i may just hold back on this game =="

 

If the DLC didn't put you off, I wouldn't think a worse framerate and more popins would make that much of a difference.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

wait wait.... So PSM say something negative about PS3, fanboys take it as the "bible". but when they say something postive about PS3, it's all about "biased"?


TAKE YOUR BLOODY SIDE, who they hell are you? John Kerry? Make up your mind if PSM is a credible reviewer or not. Geez

 

Check the motostorm review thread when I said that the Motostorm review proved that the PSM wasn't biased. I've always stuck up for OXM as well.

 

 

I don't read magazine (or reviews) from any of the 3 "official" console magazines. If I want to read blind fanboyism, I will just go read one of dozen's Starcraft's "GotY" game review on xbox360.

 

I rather go by reviews from less 'biased' sources.. IGN, Gamespot... so on.

Cool, but since PSM has put it in their heads, they're gonna tell you the exact same thing about the game, I'd bet.

 

Wait a minute.  OPM is the Official Playstation Magazine while PSM is PlayStation Magazine is a publication independent of SONY.  Or did I miss something?

Its pretty simple the 360 and PC hold the same architecture since the biggest platform for this game is the PC and 360, they developed the game for the PC+360 and are porting it over to the PS3.

The issue with ports is you are taking the weakness of the 360+pc version and adding the PS3 which inherently makes it worse. As people have mentioned if you drop it months later you can re write a lot of code to fix most of the issues.

This is going to be a common theme with most muti plat games because the PC/360 market is going to be bigger than the PS3 for the next couple of years.

Last gen PS2 was the dominate platform so all games were developed for that and ported to the other players, this is the advantage you get for having a bigger user base. Plus the 360 gets to add PC people to there numbers.

But seriously if you own a PS3 only your getting a great game still

This sounds to be the most reasonable post of this thread so far.  We've all seen our fair share of multi-platform games that are virtually equal on both the PS3 and 360.  Also, both platforms have had their share of better looking multiplatform games.  This is undeniable.  Fallout 3 so far apear to be a game with a marginal graphical edge on the 360.  It's going to happen and has happened to both platforms.  Most of you guys are making too big of a deal out of it.

WHy would it be expected? Oblivion when released on the PS3 was superior on the PS3 than on the 360?

Why would fallout be worst?

 

Do you remember the awful framrate of The Orange Box PS3 version ?

 

 my copy of orange box runs brillaintly, only on episode 2 frames suffer as they do on 360 version but ps3 version of episode 2 suffers more but non is gamebreaking.

ontopic, 360 version was lead and was more refined in development, it has nothing to do with ps3 not being able to handle it., both games are same and both play same and both look same, its just in distance ps3 version doesnt look as sharp and closer up the textures arnt as sharp.

i wouldnt expect one to get higher review than other

i might pick this up on ps3 after xmas, as fable 2 hasnt turned out as i expected it to be.



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

What? Another multi title is better on 360?
Nothing new here.

PS3 owners need to stop acting like a ostrich and to face the truth.
Eurogamer gives all "Xbox 360 vs PS3 Face-Off" to 360. It is 14:0! Yes 360 loose in some games, but win or is equal in the majority! It also win both Bonus Rounds - The Orange Box and GTA IV. Blame Sony, blame developers, blame PS3, blame whoever you want, but it is obvious that PS3 is not the graphical monster many of you think it is.

At least PSM is being honest. Respect!

If it's 14:0 then how does the 360 lose some games? And how are Orange Box and GTA IV bonus rounds? Your comment is just plain dumb. Read your comment before you post it, otherwise, read it after so that you know you're actually making sense.

ROFL ... man you make my day
I laugh for more then 5 minutes!

It is not mine! Your comment is just plain dumb. Check eurogamer.net before you post dumb comment!!! Otherwise, check google after so that you know you're actually making sense!!!

In every "Xbox 360 vs PS3 Face-Off" round from 6 to 10 multiplat games are compared! Not one!

Bonus rounds compares only one game.

Is it clear now?! Or I need to repeat it slower?

Nope. XBOX games where much better in graphical department, even if their main developing platform was PS2. For PC ports XBOX just crush PS2 graphicaly. The problem was that many games didn't come to XBOX at all, or from 6 to 12 months later.

There was NOTHING wrong with xman's comment because what he said was generally true. It had nothing to do with the graphical capabilities of the console. 3rd party developers did the smart thing by developing on the PS2 first (because of it's relatively large userbase and extensive lead) from a business point of view. So a similar mentality can be said the same this gen.
Please don't act so insecure by taking things out of context.

But why Eurogamer or any other specific source? Take Assassin's Creed for instance. If you read a variety of reviews for both platforms, some say the PS3 version was graphically better while others said the 360 was better. The same went for GTAIV. What do you do about it? Don't make it an issue because it's not. Unless it's some covert way of bashing the competition by cherry picking what favors your console preference...

His main point is that PS3 version suffer, cos the main development platform is PC/360. Then why XBOX didn't suffer, no matter if the game was PS2 port, PC port or comes day one as PS2 version? Cos it was much more graphically powerfull then PS2. Now guest which console is not more graphicaly powerfull then 360?

Why not? Eurogamer is one of the most respected game site in Europe. 360 also wins all 3 rounds of "Xbox 360 Versus PlayStation 3 Graphics Comparison" on Gamespot. Unfortunately they stop doing them.

If you said that some reviews "say the PS3 version was graphically better" then pls, give us a link, so we can read it. And no links from playstation magazines pls. Gamespot, IGN, Gametrailers, Videogamer, Eurogamer, 1UP - you choose one.

And before star searching for links, one advice - don't search in Gamespot, Videogamer or Eurogamer. They all give the edge to GTA IV 360 version.
