@jordan:

Have you played the Xbox 360 version of Silent Hill?



Tease.

@ BrayanB

You said, and I quote...

"Draw ... OK, but better? I don't think so."

...and...

"I can't see why @Jordahn decuded that Silent Hill is better on the PS3 when the only thing that is better then 360 version is the locked 30 fps rate."

...and even...

"No clear winner..."

...in which ou have opinions, but you also pick and choice the quotes that appeal to you more. Ultimately, I respect your opinion that...

"360 takes the edge ... again"

Or maybe you are disagreeing with Eurogamer with your logic.

Yes.  There is a slight increase in detail of the textures on the 360 version, but the overall mood in the PS3 version makes the game more of a Silent Hill title because of its naturalistic lighting and steady framerate.  This might sound simple, but it's the application of those factors through out the scenes of Silent Hill Homecoming that draws you in more.

Brayan - I'm not sure where you live, but where I am you can get a Ps3 for 399 now. It's still not as cheap as you bought ur 360..but 115 is quite a bit still.

Other than that Eurogamer is trash so yeh. PS3 has proven itself to be a graphic powerhouse and if devs can't wrap their minds around it (the same way that the first party's already have) it will hurt them in the long run. The best games will continue to be delivered by Sony itself.

I'm not sure where you live too, but I guess new games around you cost ~60$. For example - where I live Kill Zone 2 is ~85$ everywhere, Resident Evil 5 (360 and PS3) is from ~71$-78$ (still not available), Street Fighter IV is ~71$-78$ and Far Cry 2 is ~65$. PC games are much cheaper. Street Fighter IV (PC) is ~45$ (still not available) and Far Cry 2 (PC) is 33$. I bought Empire: Total War few days ago for 50$, which is expensive for a PC game. Usually they are around 40$-45$, but I'm a BIG  Total War fan. That is why PC >>>>>> consoles here even if you remove piracy factor.

And what did I said wrong?

This - "Sorry, but this is not mine opinion" is for this - "I respect your opinion that ... 360 takes the edge"

This - "Draw ... OK, but better? I don't think so." is for this - "Silent Hill and Endwar are better on the PS3"

And yes the last one is mine opinion! As Richard Leadbetter said - one will choose better frame rate, others will "argue that the cost of that performance increase is too high a price considering how much has been pared down". That is why Richard Leadbetter didn't wrote that PS3 is a clear winner or 360 is a clear winner, as he did in Skate 2 or Need for Speed: Undercover.

@ Brayan

Gears 1 & 2 had framerate drops, did that stop them from being stellar....right....no! I don't get you here?

This are my words in you mouth

Many excelent games had framerate drops in complex scenes, Kill Zone 2 included. I can't see why @Jordahn

decuded that Silent Hill is better on the PS3 when the only thing that is better then 360 version is the locked 30 fps rate.

Trade PS3 for X360 and one could argue PS3 has the best versions of CoD4, CoD:Waw, Far Cry 2, Bioshock etc.

Please do not vainly attempt to pervert the context of the situation.

I gave my personal assessment in my original post...

"It looks like Skate 2 and Need for Speed are better on the 360, Silent Hill and Endwar are better on the PS3, and the rest are just as equally good/bad."

And it was obvously that you agreed with Eurogamer which is not a problem. Your problem was that you didn't want to respect a different opinion when you responed...

"Silent Hill better on PS3? Really? Did we read the same article?"

These are YOUR words. Which we did read the same article. And you're acting as if we did read the "same article," I'm suppose to automatically agree with you. You obviously agreed with Eurogamer (which is fine), and I had a difference of opinion from personal experience which for YOU was NOT fine but it should have been easily respected. Keep arguing and perverting things all you want becuase your own words betray you when I exposed your lack of a gamer's heart by not respecting a view that doesn't favors your console of choice.

Actually, reading it it seems to be split between decent games that are essentially even, or games that are either poor ports or strangely broken .

I was particularly curious that, according to this, SH on 360 is in a much higher resolution but suffers from bad frame rate, while the PS3 version is in a lower resolution, with no frame rate issues (sounds like the real problem in the game engine is crap and the developer decided to throw a bit more at 360 knowing 360 owners would demand the higher res but really shouldn't have).

The bottom line remains, developers are still too often taking the east route with average to okay coding efforts on 360 then cutting corners in getting the code onto the PS3.

Again, this tells us nothing about the core machines, but plenty about their SDKs and the relevant experience/skills of certain developers.


Tomb Raider Underworld is higher res on PS3 but with more frame rate issues than 360. Why developers do this only they know and can explain though there was an earlier Tomb Raider game on the 360 and they might have used that engine to run the Underworld game while on the PS3 they started from scratch.
