Head2Head
Welcome back for another exciting Head2Head! Today we take to the skies with the Ace Combat: Assault Horizon demo on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The demo was released over a week ago (September 13) and ever since, we’ve had numerous requests to put Project Aces’ latest under our lens. So jump in and get ready for some major dog fighting!

The shadows have a nice blur to them in the 360 version – gives it a smoother look overall. Other than that, there’s no real difference and they both look like great game.
Looks like a slight PS3 win, interesting
………get out.
Blind fanboy detect,move out before it’s too late!Warning!
When you were a child teachers used to treat you very good and you received speacial lessons in an empty classroom, isn’t it?
Slight? More like DEVASTATING! PS3 wins again… is xbox even trying?
Yeah it’s a win for the overpriced internet ready blu ray player if you prefer washed out visuals and jaggie shadows. Well, or if you’ve got on your FANTARD glasses. I’m pretty sure that last part is you Supreme FANTARD Leader Nigel.
@BUYING1999
Why bother talking? You’re a FANTARD yourself dumba$$.
tried the demo…didnt like the game at all
Agree, they both look like a TIE… just depends on your preference of lighting.
I tend to go with the “darker” looking game (Deus Ex = 360 / Dead Island = PS3), so I’ll likely get the darker 360 version for this one.
U do realize you can alter gamma settings on your your tv right lol??
Makes no difference to me which you get, but if that’s your sole reason for choice, it’s usually ammendable via your tv settings
lol
We don’t want to adjust our T.V. settings, we just want to play the damn game!!!
then youre screwed, as by default, the 360 version is too dark, unless you calibrate your tv to account for the abnormal gamma levels on 360.
if you have any intelligence, you would calibrate your tv regardless
@suarez07 Seems by the votes your comment got,the Xbots didn’t want you to tell JORDAN that the gamma can be fixed via tv/in settings..lol
well, not JUST darker, it has more shadow effect.
well not much different…I will go for ps3..hope it will get better on the final version..
Better texture and visibility range on XBOX360
Looks like 360 version is better so far. Hopefully performance is better than the graphics we see right now lol.The game seems okay. But will it blend?
PS3 has better AA, with the Xbox showing a good amount of jaggies (most noticeable in pic 3) other than that identicle, a slight gamma difference which on my and pretty much every1 elses TV will look correct on the PS3 just like the Xbox.
Identicle apart from better AA on the PS3, interesting
PS3 has worse textures and seem to run at lower resolution. This is dissapointing since this game doesn´t look like it is hardware pushing. They should be equal.
Im afraid its time for you to get some glasses lol, or maybe take those rose coloured ones off?
either that or your pure dumb, or more likely a fanboy in denial.
Both games are identicle and on the same settings with the same textures and resolution only they are both using different forms of AA and the Xbox not such a nice form with visible jaggies while the PS3 a very effective form showing hardly any jaggies, and a slight brightness difference which wouldnt make a diffrence on the end user.
Like I said Im afraid you need to get some new glasses [rose coloured dont really help here] or your a fanboy in denial, or just have downsyndrome XD
If you are going to try insulting folks, you may try and learn the correct usage of your vs. you’re. Just a suggestion. You (always) look like a complete fool with your ignorant fanboy flaming. Also, identical is how you spell it, FYI. I’m new here but I am already tired of your(not you’re) stupid, broken posts.
You are the one wearing the glasses BTW. Even in a tie, you run your mouth confessing your Sony crush like you have a Move controller up your butt.
It is painfully obvious you don’t have an Xbox360 and want one or you wouldn’t always sound so jealous. I have both systems and can recognize a win/lose/tie WITHOUT tears.
Please go away, and let the grownups discuss games.
Also, nice Down Syndrome insult. Real classy there.
- Sorry for the rant guys, he just gets under my skin…
I heart you, LYSERGIO.
Xbox= more vegetation= Win! xD
Xbox= better shadows = Win
Xbox= better draw distance
Xbox=better textures
Nah… you are right…. ps3 version is faaaaaaaar better ¬¬
@LYSERGIO
Very nice!
Welcome to LOT.
“Xbox= more vegetation= Win! xD ” agree/think I was first to spot this
“Xbox= better shadows = Win ” Debatable, personal preference decides this one
“Xbox= better draw distance ” see no evidence of this at all
“Xbox=better textures ” same textures, the difference lies in the blur filter that hides jaggies and blurs outer pixels
Xbox= more jaggies,but clearer images and more vegetation (really, ppl are arguing about this, as if you will notice flying in combat at speed lol)
Ps3= slight blur due to blur filter, and thus has improved anti aliasing, and less begetation (still funny, some of you arguing over this point)
Id give this a tie overall, but you can argue a 360 win if u include the vegetation. however if aliasing is a pet hate, you could argue ps3 win.
You could also get a life and stop being sad muppets who argue over vegetation and so forth in games which are very close ports overall(based on these shots at least, performance could decide otherwise).
Nigel,fail fanboy,it’s visible that the 360 version is better maybe “MRXBOT” is not the one in “denial” here.Fail hard.
I think by looking at each comment, XbotX & TheButthurts are the same dude!!!!!!
I didn’t recognize you at first with your comment not being all in caps.
Not even the Ps3 fanboys agree with you.
(Not intending to offend to any ps3 owner).
I have a question about steam on pc. How do you get patches and updates for games? Because I want to patch Deus Ex HR.
Steam has an automatic updater like PS3. Your patches should’ve been already downloaded right after they were released, unless you have it turned off somehow.
Thank you Dialgamrine for your help!
i ‘d say an xbox win!lighting looks better there.
Both are the same except the 360 is darker in places.
Close but looks slightly better on 360.
The ps3 version has a slight hazy look to the screenshots.
I agree 360 looks slightly cleaner, but has more jaggies, so Im guessinga slight blur filter of some sort that doesnt operate sub pixel level, as textures arent blurred enough to be QAA, and look identical in most instances.
pic 1 on p2 is a blurred screenshot, so no pint using that as example.
pic 3 on p1 however highlights a minor advantage in terms of foliage on ground that is visible, with ps3 having less of it.
usuual gamma differences, but essentially identical, with a choice of jaggies or slight blur being your options. I personally dont care, either would do a job, if performance is ok on both formats
Is not only the slight hazy look, pay attention to the shadows: on PS3 they are slightly jagged.
On XBox 360 aon the other hand shadows are nice and smooth.
So,simply judging by the screenshots it looks like a slight XBox 360 win in my opinion.
I voted for 360 for these reasons, not for the brightness of course, because I know that the wrong gamma value is the one that comes out of the XBox.
Also on the XBox 360 I can spot crushed blacks, which I hate because they cannot be corrected by adjusting the TV settings.
Xbox has better textures on the chopper and more grass… just look at the first picture on page 2.
Slight win for Xbox
I didn’t notice that but thanks to you I do now.
PS3 has better AA
360 has better shadows
Default gamma I prefer darker always.
You like your crushed blacks then I always like to see the detail in my blacks.
I was talking about the LOT out of the box gamma. Don’t like crushed blacks but dislike washed out look more.
The 360 gamma shifts everything to make it appear darker causing crushed blacks a lot of the time, when a 360 screen shot is then put next to a PS3 screen shot it makes the PS3 screen shot look washed out when infact it is not it is the 360 screen shot that is too dark.
Read this:
http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=1315460
I know all that but PS3 is still too washed out a lot of the time and requires gamma correction to make it look darker and thus richer in colour. Anyhow PS3 games don’t have to look washed out straight out of the box. There are numerous examples of this.
Badass, Dude, you’re so f$#king dumb & stupid, you didn’t understand what he explained to you, he said the gamma on the 360 makes everything appear to look darker, which means it isn’t a graphical advantage, & the PS3 version looks lighter compared to the 360 version, but doesn’t mean it’s washed out, which means, the game was targeted to look like that, you damn fool!!!!!
By saying “shifts everything to make it appear to look darker”, he meant its looks darker when it’s not meant to!!!!!
On my calibrated TV no game looks washed out out of the box on PS3 they all look correct, even the screen shots here don’t look washed out, the 360 screen shots look too dark though which makes people think the 360 has better colour like if you have the brighness set too low on your TV, the colours may seem better when the picture is overly dark but you will lose detail in the dark areas.
ps3 will get early dlc for battlefield 3! http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/09/22/battlefield-3-expansions-to-hit-ps3-first-open-beta-on-psn-929/#utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=BF3Beta_09221
360 version looks better
Either a tie or a slight 360 win.
small 360 win in some aspects but nothing huge to brag about. Not going to pick up the game because i’ll be to busy playing with dice’s jets! YEA!!!
Another XBOX 360 win. xbox 360 owners are used to this.
You’re an idiot.
The game is identical on both consoles. The differences you see here are due to gamma levels. Once you sort that out there are no differences left at all.
gamma level and less grass and jagged shadows… adjust it in your tv buying a xbox 360
Not need to buy broken hardware for someone’s TV!!!!!!
Xbox 360 owners are also used to having no games.
look at this site how many H2H xbox 360 had pwned the weak ps3.
btw, Im playing Gears of War 3 now with cross chat with my friends playing other games… ps3 is a epic fail from sony… in 2012 will launch ps4 and you all will cry with your outdated ps3.
Still being an idiot. Gotta give you 10/10 for effort.
Outdated? If anything’s outdated around here it’s the Xbox.
yawn, im playing gears of war on my 360, whilst i’ll get the best version of bf3 on my ps3 , and play uncharted 3 on my ps3 in November.
I can play with my friends on both formats, so you are the epic fail, as you miss out on some great games
With your friends who might not be your friends at all and paying for an useless feature as cross game chat, what a puppet, only things that I know are outdated are Xbox 360 & YOU dumbass!!!!!
And Xbox owners like you are also used being Microsoft’s pets, your a good dog, fetch it!!!!
Once again thetruehurts reduces a comments section into a fight.
LOT STAFF is there any news on my ban request for thetruehurts? Do we have to get a petition started. The evidence is clear that he is not wanted on here. I suspect his double account is Buying1999 so can you check his ISP and see if they are the same and ban them both.
time to read other comments CASFAN… you are a hidden ps3 fanboy, ppl who blame the xbox 360 you give a thumbs up… say me your psn and xbl cars and we talk…
And you’re an Xbot who came out of the closet TheTruHurts!!!!
The site is full of them. Just look at the posts that are getting positive thumbs up, and those getting negative thumbs down.
Site is a joke. I’m done here.
dont expect much to happen tbh, i reported truhurts for multiple accounts of blatant racist comments, and nothing happened.
This site has a lot more PS3 fanboys than XBOX 360 fanboys
you complain a lot especially when the PS3 loses a H2H
It’s time to grow into a true gamer!
why his comment have a thumbs down? pathetic ppl here
depends on the thread tbh, sometimes the xbots are out in force, and sometimes its the ps3 fanboys. ps3 ones cry when game is a loss, whilst 360 trolls come out regardless, and say its a win , even if its a tie, they crow about past glories, if its a loss, and generally act like t**s regardless, whilst the ps3 fanboys in their extreme form, are no less annoying, just less agressive
Suarez You’re a liar
says that have xbox 360 and call people who preffer the Xbox xbots? show your gamertag or gtfu
But you’re really an Xbot, or better say an XbitchX
No I call people who are morons like you xbots, those who constantly put down the ps3 and it’s games and constantly bragging about 360 wins over some grass like it’s just turned into a super pc from 2099 and can do real life quality images.
Normal 360 owners who prefer their 360 I call 360 owners, those ppl that have some common sense and understand both consoles have merits and bad points.
There’s a difference .
Tell me , why on earth would u share my gt with a moron like you who I reported twice for racist comments???
but just for you I compiled these to show my 360 and ps3, along with my brand new copy of Gears 3, and a special message for you

You’re very quiet butthurts!! Lmao
Someone been shown up as the fantard he is? Can’t handle fact that other normal people can enjoy multiple game consoles???
Grow up! That’s right , let your balls finally drop, your facial hair and pubic hair start to sprout, that squeaky voice of yours to get a bit deeper and finally realise that the hole between your legs isn’t for talking out of, and the small dangly thing inbetween your legs isn’t meant to be on your forehead. Well done, you are now almost an adult!
Brighter default gamma and PCF is used for shadow smoothing, real classic stuffs we’re seeing here. But, textures’ details and AA seem to be identical across platforms, so things do seem to be pretty good. In any case, gamma level can be adjusted in-game, so that’s not even worth mentioning and PCF for shadow smoothing doesn’t seem as bad while in motion (although opinions may vary.) Although, based on the third screenshot (on the first page) and the first screenshot (on the second page), it would seem that the Xbox 360 version has better AF and slightly more foliage on the ground, too. However, while I do think these advantages the Xbox 360 version has are definitely eye candies, I also believe that they can only be enjoyed while looking at still images, not so much during combat, when one is busy chasing and shooting down opposing aircrafts and bombarding ground forces.
I’m looking forward to see how both versions perform in the full Head2Head. Although judging by performance of the game in the demo, things do seem to be pretty promising, in my opinion.
Nah mate,
definitely a blur filter in action here, giving a “AA” advantage to ps3, but an obvious pixel blur on edges of objects.
Definitely agree with foliage, but disagree with AF. Any blur is the blur filter in action, whilst the 1st pic on p2 is slightly different screenshot, and is suffering motion blur.
Gamma differences are there as usual, and there are identical textures, but edges blur slightly
Hmm, perhaps there is blur filer there but I think it’s rather subtle, either that or it was tweaked to mostly blur out the edges, since it didn’t seem effect the textures all that much (or not at all, through my eyes, anyway.) Regarding the what I said about AF, yeah, I was mistaken about that, however, I do think that the draw distance for geometries seems a tad better in the Xbox 360 version, since I get the impression that the shapes of the buildings and other minor details seem slightly less distorted when looking at them from far away. Then again, I really do think these differences are too insignificant to actually be noticed while the game is in motion.
blur filters only work on outer pixels, they are a primitive form of aa basically. fxaa is basically a more refined blur filter.
this would explain the sharper geometry on buildings too.
draw distance would indicate that the horizon would be further out on 360 version, but they are like for like in screenshots
I guess that would explain it.
Although isn’t draw distance determined by the level of clarity that both textures and geometries are able retain as they approach the horizon, which is also what anisotropic filtering, level of details, and mipmapping play a major role in? At least that’s how I thought it was, which is also why I said what I did, because I thought the transitions between LOD for the geometries in the PS3 version wasn’t quite as efficient as what seen in the Xbox 360 counterpart.
It’s nothing major, really. I’m just trying to update my knowledge of the subject, which I think might prove beneficial in the future.
“Draw distance is a computer graphics term, defined as the maximum distance of objects in a three dimensional scene that are drawn by the rendering engine. Polygons that lie behind the draw distance won’t be drawn to the screen.”
ie where the horizon lies on screen. Anything beyond that cant be calculated, so you get things popping into view out of nowhere
“Draw distance is a computer graphics term, defined as the maximum distance of objects in a three dimensional scene that are drawn by the rendering engine. Polygons that lie behind the draw distance won’t be drawn to the screen.
As the draw distance increases more distant polygons need to be drawn onto the screen that would regularly be clipped. This requires more computing power. This means the graphic quality and realism of the scene will increase as draw distance increases, but the overall performance (frames per second) will decrease. Many games and applications will allow users to manually set the draw distance to balance performance and visuals.”
ie the distance of where the horizon lies on screen. Anything beyond that cant be calculated, if draw distance is poorer, so you get things popping into view out of nowhere and framerates dropping. its got nothing to do with AF, which is effectively like AA on distant edges, keeping them clear and individual rather than blurry.
The demo was hardly groundbreaking in the GFX department was it?.. Those pics to me just look like the PS3 has the brightness or gamma turned up higher?..We all know by now that on PS3 you have to self alter gamma to work best for you..It was nowhere near as high gamma as these pics show…
If your TV is set up correctly you shouldn’t have to ajust the in game gamma setting of any game, its the 360 that gamma shifts everything to make it look darker causing crushed blacks in a lot of games.
Read this taken from the Digital Foundry Vs HDMI article:
The basic accuracy of our PS3 HDMI shots was established a while ago in our Uncharted 2 tech analysis where the XMB Photo Export option in the game allowed us to compare the images, showing a match in colour balance. To make sure it’s not a flash in the pan, we re-ran the experiment with Gran Turismo 5, and once again, the comparison shows nothing untoward – certainly nothing compared to what you’ll see on the next page.
Accurate screenshot exports on 360 aren’t quite so common, but thankfully Microsoft kit out journalists with a tool from the XDK development kit that allows us to FTP into debug consoles and test kits and – yes – dump video RAM for screenshot purposes. Sony isn’t quite so forthcoming with its own equivalent (ProDG’s Target Manager) alas. So here are a couple of games with the same shot dumped via the XDK tool and then captured via HDMI at all three of the reference levels: standard, intermediate and expanded. While we do see the precise RGB levels we would expect, the gamma level is nothing like it should be on any of the shots. On Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, the framebuffer dump comes from the intermediate capture. We had to re-run the capture to do the other two settings, which explains minor differences in the image.
It’s worth pointing out that you are still getting the pin-point precision that HDMI offers, but getting the right colour balance is going to require some pretty nifty display-side tweaking. There is the danger that the ramped up gamma will produce black crush style artifacting that strips away some element of image definition. The accuracy of our frame-rate analysis tools is not affected, however. While the change is self-evident, many games – Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood included – do operate with a dynamic lighting subtly altered by world objects that appear to be randomly placed, so there are some tiny changes in the make-up of the image between capturing sessions. Just to be perfectly clear about the differences between the various modes, we shifted to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Reshelled, which has a very static form of lighting we can take advantage of.
Here we see similar differences and still no firm match for the original framebuffer.
Look at picture #8. It looks like the PS3 has better AA on the air vents (or whatever they are… the 3 oval shaped holes in the back of the chopper).
The textures look the same to me, but the PS3 looks slightly washed out (as always, just adjust your screen).
The xbox 360 has better draw distance and better contrast,ps3 looks blurry =S,xbox wins this time.
Nigel,dialgamarine,ps3fanboy and battlefieldfan made 67 accounts to vote for ps3 lol.
please show me evidence of better draw distance. also please explain how the slightly blurry image, and thus less aliasing, which could also be seen as a positive, is only seen as negative by 360 fanboys?
of course the aliasing issues are ignored by them in their arguments.
which is worse, jaggies, or no jaggies and edge blurring. personally i can live with either, but am probably swayed towards having less obvious jaggies
The only thing that imo, gives the verdict to 360, is that it has more vegetation, but if we are deciding things based purely on tiny bits of vegetation, when playing a game where ur thousands of feet above them, and they resemble nothing more than tiny green blobs, then youre all mental, and need psychological help.
Just see the 3rd pic dude.
u need to know what draw distance means dude.
“Draw distance is a computer graphics term, defined as the maximum distance of objects in a three dimensional scene that are drawn by the rendering engine. Polygons that lie behind the draw distance won’t be drawn to the screen.
As the draw distance increases more distant polygons need to be drawn onto the screen that would regularly be clipped. This requires more computing power. This means the graphic quality and realism of the scene will increase as draw distance increases, but the overall performance (frames per second) will decrease. Many games and applications will allow users to manually set the draw distance to balance performance and visuals.”
pic 3 shows exactly the same horizon on screen, and as image isnt moving, we cant determine the pop in of objects beyond that horizon to judge if it has better draw distance in that manner.
Seriously, people should learn what these things mean, before making fools of themselves
you forgot suarez07 =)
Does it really matter which one is better?
I don’t see any difference, except for simple brightness issues.
It’s down to personal choice, you’re supposed to play and not give a f*ck. If you’re really that worried about visuals just lower down your brightness on the PS3 a bit. And if you really wanna believe that Xbox 360 is “ten times superior” than sure go ahead. But the naked-eye can’t spot the difference and they look like the same thing.
One of the idiots trying to turn this into a win when it’s a tie…either truehurts or mrxbot…thumbed you down obviously so I evened that out.
now i read i thumbed him down… and you too =)
isnt a win? lol… go play with jagged shadows and less grass… cya.
I like how you gave yourself 5 stars and a thumbs up theTRUEhurts.
TrueHurts so you like more grass???? with Shadows, wow I didn’t know people could play with grass, if its playable, can you stick it up your ass?????
They are there if you look, but arent major, so wont hamper peoples enjoyment of game. people in here are just sad and have nothing better to do than argue about a pixel here or there
Yeah, very little differences at times. Colors being different and contrast. Like I said easily can be fixed, and it doesn’t make a difference since you won’t notice it because you’ll be too busy playing the game.
People want to find reasons to argue over which why they’re console is superior. I’ve played on both Xbox 360 and PS3. Both are great. I just prefer PS3 more because I’m into anime and fighting games. The controller is more suited for Mortal Kombat and Marvel vs. Capcom
I also love the huge list of exclusives games the system has the offer, and they’re so many to play. So would I care if I get (claimed) multiplatform games that slightly look worse (claimed) but have the best exclusive game experience? Not at all, because you don’t notice the difference at all by just looking.
Xbox 360 is good, but has no good exclusive series.
I only like Alan Wake, Fable, and L4D. And Halo and Gears don’t make the cut for me.
i like halo tbh, and splinter cell conviction was fun. gears is not my favourite series, but about to give gears 3 a go, and see if it’s any better.
I love platformers, and so ps3 is my preferred platform, as you have uc2/3(kinda platformy) and ratchet and clank. You have no arguments from me about ps3 having better list of exclusives , for my tastes at least, but wont find me slagging off 360 either.
whatever suits individuals i say. I also think most multiplats these days are only slightly diff whether its ps3 win or lose, and decide which format based on other factors above visuals most the time.
Oh joy leave it to all the delusional fanboys to call a winner when this is a clearcut tie through and through. Image quality and textures are equal. Only substanstial difference is the default gamma level which can easily (for those noobs out there) be adjusted to your preferences from your TV with a game like this. Until we have an indepth performance analysis, this one is a tie folks. Seriously, how can anyone be so blind as to see it otherwise? Wait…extreme fanboyism and blindness. Those are synonyms.
tbh u have to be blind not to see differences. theyre not major, but theyre not non existent either
Yep, but that’s if you wanna sit there and stare at the pictures for a large amount of time and compare them.
But if you play the game and enjoy yourself you won’t notice the difference at all, if you just scan through these pictures here all you can see is the brightness issue which can be adjusted.
Get the system your friends have.
Both my friends have Xbox and PS3 but I find myself leaning more to the PS3 because I’m more into single player gaming and playing online with fighting games like Ninja Storm 2, Street Fighter, and etc. Not huge on COD.
I have both systems and am not hugely bothered about minor differences , but am always interested to look at the head2heads. I won’t even bother with demo of this gems tbh, so no skin off my nose either way.
However these features on site are mean for highlighting differences, that’s the whole point of them, so it’s interesting IMO to note these, but when people go on about them like they’re life changing differences, I just laugh .
There are differences, but are the graphics the same? Yes they are they have differences such as coloring and contrast issues. In the end it’s all the same shit, minor differences.
i know.. ps3 users dont have friends.. because of that they play the ps3 single players games and think they are superior LOL!
How retarded are you?
Do you really think the Xbox 360 is the superior console?
Just because of what “appears” to be a visually better game on your system?
Haha no, I’ll take the PS3. And it’s funny how you bring up friends when I have plenty.
I’m enjoying the best exclusive gaming around, when Xbox 360 has utter shit. I’m not worry about paying 60$ a year for online play when I have it for free.
And before you say something retarded like PSN was hacked Xbox 360 has been hacked previously twice before. You’re only paying for features. So good luck being scammed while I have 60$ for games not crap.
And I applaud you for thumbing down all my comments, obviously knowing I was right. But your too much of a fanboy to see the truth.
See, myself I’ve played both the Xbox 360 and PS3.
Multiplatforms are the same shit, only brightness like I said can be fixed. All ports are looking well except for Bayonetta.
Like both systems, just prefer PS3.
Own a 360 still use it a lot.
Oh great, you have lots of friends on Xbox Live, wow, you want a cookie???? your username should be “MyButtHurts” for how ButtHurt you really are, BTW, You might have lots of friends on Live, my guess these might be people you never met in your entire life, only online, I bet you in reality, Dead4Fred and any other PS3 owner has more friends than you, both in real life & online!!!!
There is nothing wrong about someone that tends to like single player only games & fighting games more than Halo, Gears & COD, Gaming started with single player, Alan Wake, Fable are single player games so you’re talking about your Live friends as well….. By looking at your comments, you have no life, I know you feeling your butt hurts!!!!
Either way its a garbage game i product a metacrtic score of 78-75 witch to me makes it a used under twenty game some time next summer. but thats only if i am interested in it and right no i’m not.
Both look great…
But in my eyes the Xbox360 wins with a very slight margin…
I’ll wait for the analysis before I decide which I’m gonna buy for.
Honestly It will be kinda weird to use a xbox360 controller for a game that I played for PS since its exclusive days…
Anyways whatever looks good and performs good wins for me.
so because the 360 is “darker” PS3 loses? This is retarded. “IN GAME BRIGHTNESS” ring a bell? Besides… no one wants to mention about the pic with the chopper where it looks black on the 360 YET you see ALL the detail of the writing on the chopper in the PS3 pic.
you could cry …
And you Asshurt could CRY A RIVER!!!!!!
So it looks like ass on both systems and is ridiculously boring to play. Good to know.
Nice to see truehurts on his daily period though. lol
Im not sure how to rate yet due to this not the actual H2H thingy.
XBOX360 have better SSAO… so for now XBOX360 have the edge…
Shall wait for performance thing.
This aint a good game anyway so no matter whose the winner or looser it doesnt matter at all…
None will gain anything out of this sucky game not even bragging rights
No ssao differences either from what I can see. The gamma effects the contrast of shadows on these shots, but they are there, just not as pronounced .
Some of the fanboys are completely retarded/trolls.
They look almost identical. Thinks are a bit sharper on the 360 side, but nothing more.
Why the PS3 version has less foliage is simple, the artist/level designer forgot to put them there.
Hell if im the lazy artist i dont know who would give a rats ass about a couple of blots missing.
No it’s cause it requires alpha transparencies to be used, which requires bandwidth . If it’s not been properly optimized on ps3 , then a simple way to save bandwidth is reduce foliage. If u look at crysis on consoles , the first thing they’ve done is reduce number of trees and amount of foliage .
Xbox 360 slightly wins and not because of the “brightness” It seems more detailed then the PS3.
And as far as multiplatform games the graphics are the same shit, they are just porting it and at times (sometimes) it loses a little bit of textures. But as far as I can see (I have glasses) this game looks like the same piece of shit. Only the PS3 is brighter which can be lowered down in-game menu.
Why complain though?
PS3 has the superior Dead Space 2, Portal 2, Ninja Storm 2, Raging Blast 2, Battlefield 3, Mass Effect 2, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Batman Ahrkam Asylum, Darksiders, hopefully even Darksiders 2 and Arkham City.
And Dark Souls (game like Demon Soul’s) will be on PS3, Xbox 360, and PC but all footage being played was shown on PS3 and they use PS3 as the console at gaming events for it.
Woah jumping the gun there a bit and some of those listed are hardly superior. How come you haven’t listed the superior 360 games? I’m guessing PS3 fanboy?
Uh no, people tend to believe all supposed multiplatforms “look” better on the 360. So I listed the ones that “look” better on PS3.
Portal 2 – Steam support included.
Final Fantasy XIII – PS3 had full HD and Xbox 360 was sub-HD cutscenes on three discs.
Mass Effect 2 – Running on an updated/advanced engine
Dead Space 2 – looks better, had number 1 included on the disc and overall it’s one disc together.
Ninja Storm 2 – Must I say this? Fighting games suck on the 360.
Arkham Asylum – Obviously looked the same, but the joker DLC cut the deal.
Battlefield 3 – If the developers are saying the PS3 will be superior, and it’s getting DLC first.
LA Noire – No question asked, game looked really identical but PS3 takes the win for one disc and better overall look.
if the developers are saying the PS3 will be superior* I won’t be questioning them.
Like Crytek with Crysis 2
Or DICE with Battlefield BC 2?
From a purely technical POV out of those games mentioned I have to say Mass Effect 2 is debatable, Dead Space 2 I thought they looked the same and Arkham Asylum had AA on the 360 but none on the PS3.
And I wouldn’t say fighting games suck on 360. Is it because of the d-pad? A true fighting game enthusiast would buy an arcade stick or a proper six button joypad.
Batman Arkham Asylum looked exactly the same, and the controller is horrible on 360 for fighting games in general.
No wasting money on useless crap for arcade sticks, fighting games are easily superior on the PS3.
I can see a really huge different on Dead Space 2, all consoles are great but PS3 had the better lighting over 360.
Mass Effect 2 is not debatable it’s running on the ME 3 engine so it has the edge.
And yes fighting games suck on 360.
Play on PS3 and fight a Japanese gamer and see the difference.
Which is the majority of tournaments for games like Mortal Kombat is played on PS3.
If Dice didn’t have hope for PS3 why would they be giving them DLC first?
The game was developed on PC and than ported to both systems, so they both are going to look exactly the same. Does that mean will they run the same?
Xbox 360 only has “advantage” on multiplatforms that aren’t included on the PC if you wish to say so.
And AA is good, but you won’t notice the jaggies unless you wanna zoom in and I really mean ZOOM IN. and at times AA makes the game look blurry.
And if people claim the PS3 looks blurred or washed out that’s because of the brightness…
Lol use an HDMI cord and you’ll notice how much sharper the image is and if your tv can support it use full rgb and it makes one hell of a difference. if not use a computer monitor.
difference* excuse my typos tired atm
The Xbots thumb me down even though it’s the truth.
How butthurt.
I disagree about the true fighting game enthusiasts would be buying Arcade sticks or 6 button Joypad since I’m a very big fighting game fan!!!!
I can play with both the standard controllers & the arcade stick, & I beat lots of of real good players who play with arcade sticks and 6 button Joypads with a standard controller, & standard controllers are still used in Evo tournaments, not as much as arcade sticks, but still able to use them, as in the case of Tekken that some pro players like to play with the controller, which in that case is the Playstation controller, the 360 controller wasn’t designed for fighting games, it was designed mainly for First person Shooters, & Microsoft released that Silver controller with the updated D-Pad for those fighting game fans who doesn’t like Arcade sticks or can’t afford one, it’s decently good, same good controller for FPSs, but still not as good as the Playstation controller for fighting games!!!!!
A player skill is determined by how good he is, not by using an arcade stick, a true fighting game enthusiast doesn’t necessarily need to buy an Arcade Stick nor a 6 Button Joypad to be a fan or being good at them, copy that in your head!!!!!
With regards to DS2 I didn’t know it had superior lighting on the PS3, I don’t think LOT or DF mentioned that hence I didn’t know about it (if it’s superior at all).
As for ME2 according to DF it is debatable. The new lighting is a personal preference and there seems to be a minor frame rate, alpha transparencies and texture advantage to the 360.

Arcade sticks are not useless crap. If you’re serious about fighting games you will invest in one. They are far superior to any joypads. Why do you think arcades use joysticks? A d-pad cannot compare with the precision of a joystick. The best fighting players in the world use arcade sticks.
Though it’s likely BF3 is going to be technically better on PS3 (vs 360), using arguments such as it’s getting DLC first is no argument for a games technical superiority. AC:B got an extra DLC on PS3 but technically it was more polished on 360.
the only significant difference is that the 360 version is darker. im sure that if you messed with the brightness on the PS3 version it would look exactly the same.
Barring gamma it looks pretty much like-for-like. Props to the developers for this.
X360 version better. Picture is clearly then PS3 version. Lighting also better on Xbox 360. PS3 has very bad port.
