absolutely sick of multis looking better on the box just sick of it

why is this happening?

this happen last gen with ps2 vs box and the 1st box usually had the better lookin multis

also ps1 vs 64 again any ports from ps1 to 64 not many but the 64 s looked better

then this gen sony releases there ps3 a year later ud think games would run/look better than the box but no thats not the case it really is upsetting me

Im absolutely sick of people who believe that the PS3 has an absolute advantage in everything rather than a comparative advantage in certain areas. This game was developed seperately for both the PS3 and Xbox 360 so there is no lesser console in this equation. Well guess what? The Xbox 360 also has a comparative advantage in certain areas as well.

That MSAA = Free, the PS3 pays for it in frame time.

The box has massive bandwidth for those heavy alpha scenes.

The box can deliver more consistant framerates because the work flow on it is much simpler. It doesn't matter if the PS3 can render the game in 10ms vs 14ms for the Xbox 360 if the PS3 spikes to 16ms on certain areas like with heavy alpha blend. You're only as good as your weakest frame time.

never really said that the ps3 as an advantage in anything ever on this site

all im saying is that i kinda accepted all this wen 64 and GC,box1 had the multis look and run better b/c the ps1 and ps2 came out b4 the all competition and now with there ps3 coming out later than the 360 and costing way more u would think it would be the playstations turn to have the multis run/look better

watever the case may be HW issues with the ps3 or lazy devs or watever, however i believe its the PS3 HW thats causing all these multis to not run/look as good as the box's sony needs to set up to the plate next gen

b/c mw2 isnt the only game that runs/looks better on the box there are far more games where the box has the clear advantaged and some unlike this MW2 comparison where there not to much of a diffrence graphicly there are other games where thers just no comparison on which one looks better

You should know better. The difference between the games is so minisule, that even in cherry picked screens side by side you can barely tell the difference. Rememberwhen they tried to make a huge deal about the differences in Resident Evil 5?

Does that look like a GLARING difference to you? Of course not because they are virtually identical and you should be happy knowing you can play the PS3 versions of this game in addition to PS3's amazing exclusives the differences in quality of which IS truly glaring. Stop falling for this fanboy trap.



A lot of PS3 multiplat games look washed out. I thought that was down to Full RGB and Super White not being enabled.



There's not a big difference here compared to most other games that they've analyzed.

I prefer the 360 visually speaking though but I think it's too minor to buy a 360 right now ;)



@ Steroid...


I still remember the RE5 comparison thread. There was a shot where Chris' badge on his right shoulder was noticeably more blurry on the ps3. It was as clear as day. I started up the RE5 demo later that day and was surprised - the textures were crisp and detailed. If anyone can pull up that thread, you'll see.

Stuff like that makes me wonder how some sites do their comparisons.

I'm not denying that the 360 version of MW2 looks better, but screenshots like these sometimes do overexaggerate the truth just abit.

EDIT: That didn't take long to find.

Start up RE5 on your ps3 and notice the obvious difference on the shoulders when you compare to the screenshot.

I think there toning down the graphics  on 360 to make them almost even.



I own both consoles and actually favor the PS3 but after seeing those screens if I decide to purchase MW2 I'll get it for 360. The 360 version looks far superior to me. Far more polished, the PS3 looks bland and washed out.



PS360 Owner

forget this i dont think i can trust LoT anymore look at these pics comparing the 2 screens that were taken with Full RGB and Superwhite settings on the PS3, thus offering better comparability than the former comparisons

http://www.cynamite.de/_misc/galleries/detail.cfm?pk=2633&opv=gal

in the LoT the 1st 2 pics show the ground textures to be far more clear on the box than the ps3s and all of the pics of the ps3 have a lack of glare/bloom

in the link ive provided the ps3 pics dont have the lack of glare/bloom and theres even a pic that the exact same pic from LoT

also from the link the graphics are nearly exactly the same some slightly better on ps3 some slightly better on the box

i dont know wats up wit LoT but by the comments section im not the only one whos suspicious
