Forums - Gaming Discussion - Digital Foundry - Face-Off : Modern Warfare 2 ... 360 wins again...

I knew it would generates emotional answers

Still the article makes sens...



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

At the end of the day, in terms of the buying decision, the sheer importance of the game's multiplayer component is such that it's your choice of friends list that is going to determine which version of Modern Warfare 2 you buy. While the PS3 version has had some early glitches, bugs and party issues, it's also readily apparent that Infinity Ward is continually working to make sure the game works as it should.

However, for those that haven't made up their minds, it's fairly easy to say that while both renditions of the game are well worthy of the Eurogamer 9/10 score, the Xbox 360's marginally superior visuals and significantly smoother performance gives it an undoubted edge over the PlayStation 3 game, and this translates directly into a tangibly better gameplay experience."

 

Now that we have a better looking (multiplat) game on the 360 that looks better than KZ2 and runs better on the 360... I hope Sony PR will cut the bulls about the so-called technical superiority of the PS3 over the 360. When a PS3 games looks better, it is thanks to the genius of the developers... not the plateform...

One, good analysis, and as expected from IW with one version only 'marginally superior' visually.  Two, MW2 does not, despite what any non-technical person might tell you, look better than KZ2 - it's fire effects, resolution, particle effects, level size, texture quality, etc. are all weaker.  It has almost as good character animation and models, but KZ2 is a shade better.  KZ2 has way better lighting and physics also.  MW2 though has, which is pretty important, 60fps vs 30fps and less latency, but let me assure you, that increase in fps and lower latency is being bought by having lower resolution and graphics.

As for runs better?  What does that mean?  Stability?

Mind you, your last comment is kind of right in that the skill of the developer is what really matters more.  However, while I've always liked CoD games, no CoD game technically has ever been the peak of the fps genre - but they do design levels well and they place frame rate over graphics, which isn't a bad thing in my book.

 

 

 



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

LOL, didn't see that reply coming.

It's probably a combination of "platform + resources + man power". Besides, if you want them to cut the bull about the superiority because this game looks better than KZ2, then I think you're forgetting something called Uncharted 2



Actually, I just saw a comparison, and PS3 wins.



I saw it today and you can argue that MW2 fits better to your personal taste but it certainly has not better Graphics then KZ2 I dont care who says this because I can see it that its not better. It has here and there an edge over Killzone 2 but if you add everything together KZ2 is the Winner. I think most people just forgot how good KZ2 looks.

Its just a hype at the moment in some months everyone will see it clearer and its not the new Graphics King on Consoles especially if you think that Uncharted 2 looks in every way better then MW2 there is no discussion about it.

The Xbox360 has yet to prof that it can make better Graphics then the PS3 until now PS3 is the Graphics King and everybody knows that. Maybe it will change after Crysis 2.

Today the PS3 superiority over Xbox360 is proven. And I dont know anyone who doubt this.

Now I don't necessarily agree, but the quotes are interesting, they refer to some very specific technical issues (though they don't include the math which is slightly disappointing).

So I'm not sure I'd agree with 'Today the PS3 superiority over Xbox360 is proven'.



that 30% speed shows absolutely no difference to me at all

yup. it all boil's down to not only just the skill of the developer but also the Time, resources and skill of every developer on the team your only as strong as the strength of the team itself.

the fact that when developer's voice their opinion it is with what experience they may have had with the system. that may be extensive or just a smattering of experience. It all depends

On which developer's has stated what experience they have had.

for example:

The PS3 has the higher spec's but it takes more Time to gather those result's over the xbox360

now he may be talking about the engine that ID software has made and its results the team has been able to get on each platform.

notice that is just their Experience. that does not mean Every Developer's experience. 

John Carmack, technical director of id Software has stated many time's his experience with working on platforms he may not be the main authority of every platform, or have the most skill with a system as other developer's but his opinion is valid on hardware capabilities. just like Valve, Suckerpunch, etc. just because they have not made a game for a system does not mean the developer may not have some Idea on the capabilities of said platform, but on the same token they may not have the best experience of what the system is able to do. which is pretty much based on time with the hardware and learning the in and out's of the hardware. which result's may not be better than other developer's.

the info that guy is trying to tout as fact's have already been proven wrong..wrong..wrong

and wrong again. there is so much false info in the data he is trying to say is fact's its so funny that even after 3 year's that false data is still trying to be used as proof. 

that Myth has been BUSTED!

THE PS3 has the higher spec's, though it does not matter because the game's is what matter's and there are plenty of game's on the xbox360 that make it a great game system

the first xbox was the high end spec machine over the PS2

this time the PS3 is the High end spec machine over the xbox360

it did not matter than and it does not matter now.

Lol this article is not new information for me.

Yes the PS3 Gpu is worse but the Cell is able to handle Graphics processing and can take a lot work of the GPU and this can result in better graphics if the team is able to handle it.

Yes some Mulitplats look better on Xbox360 and the Bluray Drive is slower.

That changes nothing. Naughty Dog said that there is even more room for improvements Uncharted 2 is not using the capabilitys of PS3 100%

But who cares for me its today proven because there is no game on Xbox which comes even near to Uncharted 2.

And Killzone is still better looking then any game on Xbox360 until there is no better looking game on Xbox360 for me its clear that PS3 has more Power. Thats why I said today. I just look at the facts and fact is that PS3 is able to offer better Graphics then Xbox360. If there will be a game on Xbox360 which shows that it can atleast match Uncharted 2 i will admit that Xbox360 is able to make same Graphics as PS3 and if there is a game which looks even better then uncharted 2 i will admit that the Xbox360 is able to make better Graphics. In the End its Games that shows us which is more powerful not an article.

If you really think about that theme its clear that every console has his weaknesses and strengths only Games counts.

I saw some Heavy rain Pics and the first 2 seconds i thought it was a real picture of a Family and it could very well be that Uncharted 2 will loose the Graphics Crown.

Xbox360 has a Chance with Alan Wake and Crysis 2 but we have to see until now its PS3>Xbox360.
