I would have payed more attention to this article if the words Eurogamer wasn't mentioned. I don't know whats with Eurogamer but every single game review I read on that site was the opposite to what I thought about those games. If I played a game and thought it was poor, Eurogamer is praising it, If I think a game is brilliant, Eurogamer is rating it bad.

So I don't go near them at all for anything game related because there opinion means F all to me

LOL

 

Riiiight. And I'm sure the fact that you own a PS3 and not a 360 has nothing to do with it, considering the 360 version of most multiplatform games are superior.

And that's not because Eurogamer is biased against the PS3, it's because the 360 is usually the lead platform.  FACT!

You do understand that the whole point of these 360 vs PS3 face-offs is for people who own both consoles and therefore have a choice to make, unlike you, right?

 

Also, just because every Eurogamer review is supposedly the opposite of what you thought about the game, that means you won't listen to Eurogamer when it comes to objective comparisons of frame rates, screen tearing, textures, etc.? 

"Eurogamer said some game was good and I didn't like it, therefore they are wrong when they say the PS3 version of some multiplatform game has more screen tearing!"

 

 



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

Yeah because framerates, render resolution and AA are a subjective matter right?

We've known for years multiplatform developers often deliver better results on the 360 due to a variety of reasons that'd possibly derail the topic.

Cope with reality or become a sad troll.





Current-gen game collection uploaded on the profile, full of win and good games; also most of my PC games. Lucasfilm Games/LucasArts 1982-2008 (Requiescat In Pace).

Such small differences between multiplats on 360 and PS3 that it's sad people are even discussing them. Those numbers proof nothing, maybe 40 of the titles better on 360 were minimal differences while 5 of the titles better on PS3 were much better then the PS3 then on 360.



Eurogamer isn't trust whorthy for anything, I dont know why you guys continue to use it as a source.

1 - I'm pretty sure most multi-platform games (particularly early on) were better on 360. Developers started learning 360 first and it had better SDKs initially, plus its design better suits middleware engines like Unreal.

2 - however posting this in MS forum either implies you want to gloat with other 360 owners and/or raise a bit of a ruckus. I say this because you offer no commentary, thoughts on why this might be, etc. You simply chose to repeat a well known fact that normally results in arguments. Even if in the Gaming thread (where it arguably better belongs) this thread would seem Trollish. It's not the facts your listing however, those are fair enough, it's the motives behind why you'd list them that people are suspicious about.

3 - or maybe you're intentions are purely innocent - I'm not denying the possibility


Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Honestly the differences between the multiplatform games are so small that you literally have to look at the game under a Microscope to see the differences. I wish people would give it a rest. If you must compare games compare Exclusive games for each console.


Pardon?

 

No, it's little bit more noticable than that.

 

Nothing wrong with the old said 100 times before "microscope" remark but if your going to put the word "literally"...It would mean that your being serious.



And those results are why I buy all my multiplatform games on the PS3

Was it Eurogamer who did the infamous Wolverine game comparison?

Where the "PS3 version" had 360 buttons?

or somebody else?

Eurogame has been notoriously biased in their history. Lens of Truth has far more credibility for being pretty much neutral.

As to "It's a thread about game performance posted on a gaming forum. Relevance in terms of what exactly?" by Hardyhar

No actually it isn't. It is about gaming sites reviewing the capabilities of game developers to learn to use both systems correctly. If you are trying to imply that PS3 cannot handle what X360 can or that the X360 performs better, go check out Killzone 2 or Uncharted 2 among many other games. Both systems have their advantages, the X360's biggest asset (for developers) is it is basically a PC which makes it an easy system to program for. I prefer the PS3 but I do wish they hadn't made it so complicated so that the lazy developers wouldn't cut corners.

This one, too



YAWN!!!! wake me up when the difference between ps3 and xbox MP games are like Uncharted 2 and Gears I'll be here w8ting.
