Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Analysis Video
Conclusion: Overall it’s clear that the 360 version has a very definitive advantage this time around. Lower resolution texture maps, sloppy shadow implementation, and a few torn frames doesn’t make things look to good for Sony’s platform. On top of that, even the 6.5 GB mandatory install couldn’t help any of it. With all of the time they took to make this game, this should have never been an issue. Unfortunately this appears to be a classic case of what happens when you focus all of your resources to one console and then try to port to the other. While those with only a PS3 will still be able to play and enjoy the game, the 360 version will definitely offer a better experience if you have both consoles.

| I wasn’t expecting this big of a difference this late in the generation, especially after 3 years of development time, but that is why we do these Head2Heads. Xbox 360 for the easy win. |

| The dev team behind the PS3 version of this game has left me very disappointed in this case. It was like they didn’t even try for parity at all. Needless to say, I’m going with the 360 version here. |

360 takes another one! We don’t need no next gen system! The 360 can reign supreme for another 5 years! Sony, on the other hand, better come out with the PS4 sooner rather than later because the PS3 is looking obsolete.
Don’t talk nonsense.
Releasing a new console costs money and Sony can’t afford to launch another system anytime soon. How many BILLION$ in cash has Sony, as a whole, lost over the past year or so!?!
Funny u say that.. Cuz games like uncharted, God of War, & now Last of Us, arent even possible on 360.. Sure these high res PS2 games run better by western developers.. Shooters always will but 360 cant handle REAL POWER.. Castlevania, FFXIII, etc lol.. even with 4 discs
let it go mate. Let the xbots have thier win. Just take note of all the sore winners and hand thier asses back to them next time PS3 pulls a win. Which won’t be long.
You PS3 fanboys can say what you want about “real power”. All I see is countless games running better on the 360 than on the POS3. It’s all in the numbers, boys and girls, the Xbox 360 is better than the PS3. Maybe Sony can get it’s act together in the next gen…maybe…
@samchez77
Don’t you mean the Xbox win after win after win after win after win after win after win after win? Yeah I thought you did. I mean, you do actually read the site right? I mean the Xbox has been beating down the over priced internet blu ray player from the very beginning ROFL. Again, I mean you do read the site right? RIGHT?
Yes yet ANOTHER victory for the the superior Xbox 360 and no M A N D A T O R Y install LOL. Wow 6.5 gig install and still get’s it’s a$$ kicked AGAIN. LOL
Xbox 360 is the BEST console EVER made. –John Carmack
Great! Another boring generic shooter has a win on the overpriced subscription-based DVD ad machine! How will I ever sleep tonight?
Instead of getting this game, I’ll just sit back and enjoy all the exclusives on my PS3 as well as all the exclusives I can bring with me on the go with my PS Vita.
@Buying1999
Mate, this is the reason gamers hate xbox fans so much. I’d like to sy “see you when the PS3 wins the next one” but I know you won’t show your face.
I am being humble. I still and will always believe the PS3 is the better machine of the two….for many reasons.
Take the win graciously. You’ll get your ass handed back to you. And look at it this way. This game is just another boring generic shooter. The REAL shooter that is by far the most popular, Battlefield 3, won on PS3.
Be humble in your victory’s. You just never know when your time will be up.
@samchez77
ROFL “The REAL shooter”?? ROFL Well I have to hand you that one. BF3 did win that head to head. But then there’s the REAL role playing game Skyrim, and the REAL open world game Red Dead Redemption, and the REAL practically ‘Everything else’ games LMFAO!!! But you’re right. The over priced internet ready blu ray player did win the BF3 Head to Head. LOL Congrats on that there.. ‘Mate’
Well you sound like the the typical delusional ps3 fan. You’re right about one thing. The over priced internet ready blu ray player will EVENTUALLY win another one……eventually ROFL. But getting beyond a tie with the SUPERIOR Xbox 360 is a massive feat for the resource strapped over priced game machine impersonating internet ready blu ray player…’Mate’. Good Luck to the over priced internet ready blu ray player against the SUPERIOR Xbox 360…It’s gonna need it. LOL
Xbox 360 is the BEST console EVER made. –John Carmack
whats with the “mate”, mate? I’m aussie and its just how we talk. Your not making fun of my cultural nuance’s are you? Starting to get personal?
Ok. I won’t call you “mate” anymore. Besides, I think “complete and utter f*ckwit” is probably more appropiate anyway.
Keep it above the belt.
@samchez77
Personal? Absolutely not. If I came across that I was making fun of your aussie culture then I sincerely apologize. Really. After re-reading my own comment, I can see how you would have came to that conclusion and again I am humbly apologize. We’re still not going to be buddies LOL but I am seriously sorry for that. I was merely attempting, very unsuccessfully it seems, to use one of my favorite catch words from your dialect. I regret that I failed so miserably at it. I hope you accept my apology.
This unfortunate incident doesn’t change my point of view on the over priced internet ready blu ray player.
G’day Cobber
Every so often you surprise me. Apology accepted. Not needed really. I got thick skin. After all, I hassle Americans enough
. I can take my own medicine.
Its all good.
Anyway, my Kangaroo is fueled up, and we got a long ride into town. It’s gonna be a tough day. Many crocodiles to wrestle. 90 degree heat. But its ok. I got my vegemite, my fosters beer and a big bag of weed to get through the day. finising off with a surf, and some dusty circle work in my ute which is done up to look like a Mack truck. Shrimp on the barbie for dinner. lulz :p
@Samchez77
ROFL.
Seriously, what the heck is with all these mindless chickens? You people are seriously thick in the head. For one, I own both consoles, and yes while I prefer the 360 for multiplatform titles and for games that take advantage of Xbox LIVE like FIFA, the PS3 clearly has more power when it comes to exclusives. Most AAA PS3 exclusives are graphically elevated, such as Uncharted, God of War, Killzone, Last of Us, hell, even Infamous 2 looks sick if you stay 5-10 feet away from a 46″+ TV. And this is the exact reason that I keep my PS3, and for Blu Ray of course because normal Blu Ray players are slow and have crappy interface. I think all you need to pull head from arse but I know you’re not gonna, because whoever says PS3 is a “pos”/”obsolete” is either doing it on purpose or is too poor to afford one. And don’t say Uncharted is crap because it hits all the high notes, story, voice, graphics, cinematic experience, sound and atmosphere. If you wouldn’t be poor enough to not afford a PS3 you would definitely agree with me that Uncharted alone is a system seller.
i am sick and tired of xbox and ps3 fans tryin to show off whos fukin consoles r better! jus go n buy both consoles if it bothers u tht much! its out there for everyone to buy is it not! the only reason u talk shit to each other s bec u dont own the other console or u r such a big fanboy u jus stick to one console and feel your console is better than everything elz out there n dont appreaciate or respect games on any other consoles,wel if thts d case then u r missin a lot a good game, ps3 fanboys r missin out on halo or gears and xbox fans r missin on uncharted or god of war! wel m njoyin the best of both consoles! u dumbasses cn stick to one console and talk shit. bt if u r comparing graphics between the two console u cn kiss my ass morons. to me gameplay,good online connectivity ,story,inovation comes before fukin graphics! dont tel me to have fun playing cod online u need good graphics!! all i need is a good connection and a good team to play wid!
its so ovious this game looks better on xbox and same thing how ff13 lookd better on ps3 bt these dont even come close wht the console are capable of! look at halo or gears on xbox and uncharted and gow on ps3!! u think this game compair to exclusives? not even close! u jus kno developers r lazy to do it on ps3 n for good reasons. its harder to do it! same thing happen wen they took out ff13 originaly for ps3 and it lookd like crap on xbox! one console wil b worse bec it doesnt get ful attention like exclusives! u kno this is true bec uncharted looks a lot better tht ghost recon! which means this game cud have lookd a lot better! same for xbox wid ff13 u have halo and gears tht looks way better than ff13! n u keep hearn how they pushd the graphics on exclusives! not on multiplat! its on multiplat for a reason so they cn sell more! the game doesnt need to push they consoles capabilities!
Gimme a break, fanboy.
Do you know WHY most of the games runs better on Xbox?
Xbox is from Microsoft, GAMES are MADE on computers. Is WAY easier to test a game on Xbox then in PS3. If you want to know the diference between 360 and PS3, compare the exclusive’s graphics. You will see that ps3 will kick 360 ass.
Stupid fanboy.
And 360 needs THREE CDS to run Final Fantasy XIII, while PS3 only needs ONE. How do you explain that?
Guess 360 can’t handle the glory of Final Fantasy’s graphics.
I play both systems and if you like to play in 3D the 360 doesn’t have as many 3D enabled games. GRFS is 3D enabled for the ps3 vs higher res on the 360. I truly enjoy playing in 3D so they both have advantages.
See what you mean by the shadow banding. Ubisoft were obviously focusing on the 360 with this one. PS3 seems like a sloppy after-thought port, and any extra sales deemed bonus. Oh well. What cn you do. Enjoy the win Xbots. You deserve this one, thats for sure. It’s obviou were Ubisofts loyalty’s lie.
Indeed – that said, I’ve still got it for the PS3 and it looks and plays just fine.
Enjoy what you have… and I have a good game with free online. Win win.
I’m sure it is just fine. As usual, the nit-picking differences we see here usually go completley un-noticed during gameplay. But I STILL know thay are there…..which is irritatiing.
Is it relevant where Ubisoft’s “loyaly’s lie?” No, because wherever their loyalty lies there is a reason for that as well. You’d be assuming that people would not buy the games if they ran well on the PS3 just like 360. If it were easy and possible to do, then every company would bank on it and make every game run well on PS3. But they do not. So the issue is not likely with Ubisoft, but with the difficulty of programming for PS3
9 times out of 10… Xbox 360 prevails. Glad I went with the 360 version!
lets cut the crap for a min
theres only 3-5 games on either system that hurt ur experience
to act like ur experience is effected is just being a fanboy
Thats what sony gets for only putting 1/2 the ram the 360 has.. But for some STRANGE reason, Japanese developed games usually are better on PS3.. I think western devs dont even bother utilizing PS3s strengths & i dont really blame them.. Its a pain in the ass making the same game 2 different ways instead of just saying “Oh well, at least it works.” I dont really mind cuz western games arent really my thing
You got a point. It is very costly to develop one game two completely different ways. When parity is as differnet as this game is, you can tell the developer focused on one console demographic, and ported it over the the other as cheaply as possible. A sign of the economic times.
Its not really the developers fault its sonys for making a system that is a nightmare to code for, remember they have a budget and thats life sony should have thought about it before they did something stupid. And japanese developers pretty much produce crap these days they need to wake up to.
If you look at platinum games they created bayonetta and it is a wicked game but the ps3 struggles with it because of the alpha used in the game so they then decided to make vanquish on ps3 lead platform and the game was terrible next to bayonetta, so as for people saying that xbox holds ps3 back its a load of nonsense, the only games the xbox struggles with is games with a shit load of video files like god of war and uncharted, if xbox had blueray it would not be the case. there are more restrictions on ps3 and theres games on 360 that ps3 could not do nowhere near as good.
Its guaranteed that sony won’t be using the cell processor so that kinda says in itself that sony messed up, Stop blaming developers and realise that they have to make money and can’t spend years just getting things right because 1 system is hard to code for. remember games like god of war and uncharted probably get more money, bigger teams and more time.
@SMOOTH
Xbox struggles to even get its exclusives to run at 720P. And the bayonetta shitty port runs on only the PPU of the CELL ….if you know what that is.
Of course xbox is holding back this gen, the overpriced DVD player doesnt even have the capacity to include video files or even produce a game with a cinematic feel. Best part is, your so-called exclusives are available on PC….hell-o??
@smooth
While it’s true that comparing to other platforms of this generation, the PS3 is rather difficult to code for, I still think it’s the developers’ fault for producing such a sloppy port. Sure, they need their share of profit too, but so what? If they can’t cope with the PS3′s architecture then just don’t bother porting the game to the system in the first place. They know full well how hard it is to work with the PS3 but included one version for it ANYWAY, then they could’ve at least done their job right and made sure that the quality of both console versions would be on par with one another, not just handing out the gimped port to one side of the community and ask them to just deal with it. But I guess nowadays people who got the short end of the stick have just have to put up with it, all the while, letting the fortunate ones just sit back, relax and spit in their faces.
I blame both developers AND Sony.
Sony got a bit artrogant after the landslide success of the the PS2. It’s almost as if they said “here is some tech that is leagues ahead of eveything else and hard to understand…….DEAL WITH IT!” Miocrosoft had the right idea by working WITH developers when they designed the architecture. Good move, and saved the console.
I fully understand budget restrictions blah blah. But if a dev is not going to give both console equal funding and time spent, then don’t release half assed ports. they only doing themselves damage in the long run.
FMV isn’t the only thing XboX struggles with. Sure, lack of media space results in compression artifacts everywhere, but explain to me the actual gameplay graphics of the likes of Uncharted, God of War, Killzone etc are far superior to anything the box can spit out?
That was well said Bloodios.
don’t blame developers, blame publishers. the publishers 90% of the time decide what consoles they’re willing to put a game on and if the deal is that it has to be on both the developer has to try and get the game to run (and look) well on both even if they don’t have the proper team to do it.
@Smooth “if xbox had blueray”? It doesn’t indeed. It has a junky DVD player that doesn’t even hold 9GB of data! And it doesn’t either have an internal HDD as a standard. Games like FF XIII have been massacred because of the port to X360. That IS holding back the PS3 games.
And let’s stop kidding around, the PS3 256MB RAM for general processing is obviously a limitation but the X360 does NOT have twice that memory. It has 5212MB of SHARED memory. Developers that know how to program the PS3 proved many times that it is capable of more things than the X360. For the simple reason that all together (Cell+RSX) the PS3 has a more powerful hardware. The addition of the BR drive and HDD also gives more freedom to developers. Freedom that it is lost on multiplayer games. But the PS3 exclusives, which are many more than in the counterpart, show the PS3 full potential.
i was just expressing my opinion which im allowed to, @REDBLACK why is it that people like you think the ps3 is some kind of god machine, the way it uses memory is probably its biggest downfall. remember its alot easier for developers that only make a game for 1 console to get it right, i do agree with what people are saying that if the port is to sloppy then they should’nt bother putting it on the system games like bayonetta and skyrim should have been exclusive its not fair that people pay for rubbish ports like that.
@REDBLACK remember god of war and uncharted are quite linear games and god of war has fixed camera which makes things even easier, but don’t get me wrong they are both nice looking games and play to the ps3 strengths which is a good thing.
Both the xbox and ps3 are tired machines now we need next gen to come and have consoles that have similar architecture so everyone gets good multiplat games.
Any sloppy port will always be the developer’s fault. How else can you explain all the embarrassing PC ports we’ve gotten this gen?
@smooth and samchez
I say if can’t get it right, then don’t do it at all.
There should be no excuse for shitty porting.
Looks like a rather lazy port but PS3 still looks playable anyway. Will be picking this up for 360 once I finish Max Payne 3. Definetly does look better on xbox but tbh its not a particarly good looking game in teh first place.
both games look crappy but ps3 version is way crappier. not buying this pos at all. such an atrocious port is embarrassing. I’m staying the f–k away from any future games developed by Ubisoft Paris, Ubisoft Red Storm and/or Ubisoft Romania.
still got it for ps3 even though i own both systems. thank you free online play. love both systems tho
It’s nice to have the Head2Head analysis back to normal but what happened to the Max Payne 3 analysis???
Ouch for ps3 only owners, another crushing defeat for them to have to put up with
Decent game as well.
Right on Android123. Another, yes another, crushing defeat for the over priced internet ready blu ray player. Developers are figuring out that it’s OK not to program for the lowest common denominator over priced internet ready blu ray player for the sake of parity. They’re figuring out that it’s OK to program for the SUPERIOR Xbox 360′s strenghts and not dumb it down for parity’s sake. Yet another to the very very long list of wins for the superior Xbox 360.
Xbox is the BEST console EVER made. –John Carmack
xbox 360 has better gpu more memory take less memory for his os has 10meg cache memory on gpu better dev kits for devs and better architecture thats the reson why the 360 is the better console the ps3 fanboy always shoot the same excuses after and after uncharted god of war but those games are not on the 360 to compare visuals so its easy for them to claim that 360 has no game to compare but 360 has no dev like sony santa monica or naughty dog those devs are god devs and if those guys were or will be on microsoft and naughty dog could be game like uncharted will be more beautifull with better visual on 360 with his better gpu more memory access better devs kit so stop crying ps3 fanboys because its gonna be like that until the end end of this gen and dont come back any more with the port excuse after six years cuz the pc receive port from 360 and has better visual than 360 even if it s a port because the hardware is better and ps3 crap visual because crap hardware end of story sony company has always be a specs seller hardware in each gens and when their console arrive on the market were nothing spécial like ps2 was supposed to be so powerfull but beaten by xbox 1 on th hardware and dreamcast with his nec gpu and 8 meg vram against only 4 meg vram on ps2 was better than the ps2 but the sega condole was too much easy for copy game and sega financial problem and bad timing gave up but l have to admit one thing in sony favor they have better exclusives game than microsoft more diversities microsoft 8 games on 10 is a shooter their exclusifs are just shooter like third party versus sony exclusifs god of war uncharded are adventure action game versus halo or gear of war 360 exclusif microsoft should give us more action or adventure game on exclusif instead of shooter third party just make shooter most of the time so give us something else
Why does Ubisoft remind me so much of, Activision…? Oh yeah; because they both think it’s obviously funny to release shitty looking ports for PS3 owners. To me, releasing a shitty looking port is kind of like a girl, who is screwing one guy while just making out with his bestfriend on the side (even though, she knows he likes her too). So, one guy is getting lucky while the other, gets to watch and be hurt by it… My question is, if the chick knows she can’t satisfy both men, why remain friends with the one she obviously doesn’t like? Because just like this chick, developers are nothing but a bunch of whores who only care about one thing… Them selves!!!
Umm… Modern Warfare 2 was pretty much a tie on both consoles and Prototype 2 was better on the PS3 with no screen tearing and a more stable framerate.
By the way, I didn’t know Activision ported games. That’s news to me.
This was a SURE win for the 360. I bought the 360 version and borrowed the PS3 version from by friend just to see for myself and the difference is almost embarrassing. I’d hate to only have the PS3 and wanted to play this game. You guys really don’t know how drastic the difference is until you see it for yourself on your own TV. I mean the same was with G.R.A.W. 2 also. I knew better and went with the 360 version by default.
I’ll get this game on 360 as well… for once, i agree with shitbox fan-nerds on this game. Honestly, I’d rather this game took on more of the mass effect 3 aproach; same graphics with some slow downs than, shitty port graphics just to try and match performance…
in the last screen on the first page you can actually see the difference in texture quality in the unzoomed screen in the corner of the screenshot. that’s pretty bad.
Ouch! That really is a dodgy PS3 port! Makes you wonder why they even bothered!
Here’s LoT: oh crap Max Payne 3 is so ridiculously close with a slight edge in graphics sharpness, quality and vsync to PS3 and a narrow margin in framerate advantage for 360! Digital Foundry proved them extremely close! What do we do? Let’s bull**** people by coming up with a mock “new” format where we release analysis of one format and then pretend the other one is coming soon! Prototype 2 was superior overall on PS3 as proven by Digital Foundry but let’s ignore that entirely and analyze Ghost Recon FS because it’s easier to point out a 360 victory!
You’re right about one thing LoT “ It is a shame that after all of the great strides console parity has made over this generation, there are still games that sport differences this noticeable.” it is also a shame that despite these strides towards parity, you still always strive to curry favor with your original core demographic: 360 fanboys. Gee why put out analysis for high profile titles like Max Payne 3 and Prototype 2? Nobody wants to see parity or PS3 edge anymore right?
UnIversusAll Gamer, they said the 360 had the slight edge in max payne 3 visuals, not the ps3.
‘So with the 360 commanding a slight advantage on the visual front, how do they actually perform by comparison?’ < DF's words not mine.
Like a lot of deluded ps3 fanboys, i think you make stuff up as you go along. You see a 360 advantage and the SDF automatic brain protection response kicks in.
The 360 advantage is automatically converted to something favouring the ps3 lol.
There's still sony fanboys out there who will swear blind that red dead redemption and skyrim are better on ps3
Wow, somebody just turned 12, ehh? Here’s an idea tool, don’t comment, visit or read LOT ever again. All you do is bash the site, if you hate them that much then don’t bother visiting, just hang out and comment on the almighty Digital Foundry. Until of course Richard says something to piss you off, which then you will accuse him of being paid by Microsoft because of your blind devotion to a plastic gaming console. Seriously, grow up or GTFO OF here.
DF still awarded MP3 to 360 even if a slight victory. Not surprised the only advantage of the 360 you listed was the frame rate while you listed 3 (one of which ‘quality’ is pretty vague) for the PS3. DF also pointed out the 360 has better AA and alpha effects (glass, foliage and explosions). They did however miss out some other PS3 advantages such as the higher quality reflections and precision buffer and they also seemed to be playing an older PS3 build since some of the missing effects of the PS3 version have according to those who’ve played the it have turned up on the retail release.
@badassbab
MP3 also had image clarity advantage, but as someone currently playing mp3 on ps3 now, I cant help but say that the game is crap imo. Graphically it’s pretty nice, and one of best this gen, but dear god it’s repetitive and has clunky controls, along with a boring , dull script and some of most retarded gaming moments ive ever come across.
R* cant do combat and imo this game is pretty poor.
Keep playing it, Suarez. It takes a few hours for it to really shine. I just couldn’t put the controller down. The campaign is VERY lengthy and it’s nice to not get interrupted with a “Please insert Disc 2″ message. lol
What a shit port. Might as well kept it a 360 exclusive. Resolution looks to be better on 360 as well. PS3 looks stretched.
I’m sure that the developer did the best it could with the extremely limited resources it had available on the over priced internet ready blu ray player. I mean they even installed 6.5 gig of data to the hdd and the over priced internet ready blu ray player still couldn’t keep up, as usual.
Xbox 360 is the BEST console EVER made. –John Carmack
They should have led on ps3 so that both versions are closer.
Codemasters would probably have to cut down the amount happening on screen then just to keep the lead ps3 version running without framerate drops and screen tearing, but it’s at least a better option than porting over a game designed for the superior 360.
The poor old ps3 just can’t handle it without cutbacks
Ubi-soft i should say, not codemasters.
Talking of codemasters though, dirt showdown h2h next?
Just been reading the reviews and it sounds another good race game in the series.
It is so sad to see that some people ( XBOX FANBOYS ) truly believe that the XBOX 360 is better than the PS3. The only reason and I repeat, the only reason XBOX wins so many Head to Heads is because the developers are lazy to make the game work on the PS3 so they just port the game, make a few tweaks and that’s that. Let me see the ALMIGHTY XBOX play God of War 3 or Uncharted 3… hahaha. It will probably die just by inserting the DVD in. So yeah, XBOX fanyboys, shut the hell up.
P.S. I own a PC and I think console wars are stupid. Everyone that argues about this stuff is stupid, but I just couldn’t bare to see the PS3 spammed like that when half of the things you people ( XBOX FANBOYS ) say are not true.
Now V1rgins go out and get laid already.
The PS3′s is only “superior” if its potential is exploited.
If it’s not exploited, then it’s “superior” hardware means nothing.
The PS3 is inferior most of the time because it’s hardware isn’t easy to exploit.
It doesn’t matter what’s under the hood. The end product is all that matters. The end product on the PS3 is usually slightly inferior. The PS3 is so superior that multiplat games are inferior on it the majority of the time. That tells me the PS3 is inferior most of the time, with the execption of their exclusives and some multiplats.
But everyone knows this already.
“The PS3 is so superior (except it’s graphics chip) to the 360 that PS3 game usually suck vs. the 360.” What an irony.
The PS3 is the King of wasted potential.
@Twisted xbot:
your mom is the King of wasted porential, stop hating hater
LOL
just another lazy port title nothing so special to compare for as victory always on the lead platform…
Game looks like ass and STILL runs at sub HD resolutions on BOTH platforms. Jeez, all it looks like is a 3rd person Call of Duty but that game at least runs at 60FPS.
What a shame. Although a definite 360 win, it’s still isn’t something to make me dust off that disposable pay-for-your-internet DVD shredder of mine.
Max Payne 3 was too close to justify buying the two disc version with online play held hostage for a fee.
Let’s hope for my 360′s sake that GTA5 comes out this year and will be superior on that system.
The 360 has already won the year Cerna
Mass effect 3, max payne 3, metalgear hd, dirt showdown(guessing), ghost recon and of course GTA5 if it does arrive, all better on 360
Both machines have hardly any exclusives of any note this year, bar the odd decent title.
It’s all about the multiplatform games and the ps3 desperately needs a change of fortune if it wants to keep up.
Even the downloadable titles on 360 are hammering the ps3
Couldn’t care less about Mass Effect 3 seeing as how painfully boring Mass Effect 2 was. And I played that one on the master race of gaming machines!
Max Payne 3 I already explained. The convenience of one disc far outweigh the slight performance advantage on the 360 (also it’s not as blurry lol).
Dirt Showdown? Ghost Recon? lol
Again, GTA5 is really the only one I’m anticipating. Let’s just hope they don’t suddenly pull an LA Noire where the PS3 comes out on top. lol I need at least one new game for the 360 this year!
360 win, flawless victory
i point out that ive been a member of gamefly for years and have had a wii since 2006 and a ps3 since 2007 and a 360 since 2011 so that being said ive played almost every game to come out the last 5 years and 95% of them on my ps3 my last save on skyrim is 160 hours on my ps3 the point is if muiltplat is enuff for u to justify ur 360 good for u but know its invalid the 360 fanboys on this site look retarted
for example trying to bash uncharted for QTA is proof u dont know what ur talking about uncharted gameplay is just like gears of war
u can get a ps3 for 200$ at gamestop
if u dont think the ps3 has any exclusives then u need to open ur eyes twisted meatal starhawk and journey(psn) all have already come out this year and u can bash these games all u want but we all know ur just doing it cuz its ps3 only u havnt played them like i have
u 360 fanboys have the weakest arguments in the history of gaming and i would know i was around for the 1980′s and i remember the saturn vs ps1 days and the snes vs the genesis days
everything u 360 fanboys lean on is either false r irrelevant
Here’s the deal you guys…
The xbox didn’t “win” anything. The xbox didn’t actually DO ANYTHING. It’s all up to the developer to program to the strengths of each console. They obviously focused more on the Xbox than the PS3. It doesn’t mean the PS3 has crappy hardware and it doesn’t mean the Xbox is superior. This just happens to be one of those games where the developers weren’t competent enough (or didn’t have enough time) to make the PS3 version shine.
But, for some reason, the little kids on this site think that just because one system runs the game better and looks a little better means the other system is a piece of crap… what you should be saying is that Ubisoft just aren’t very good at optimizing for the PS3.
The same exact thing happens to the Xbox when the PS3 is the lead console. We saw this with Prototype 2 and Saint’s Row the Third. The weakness here are the developers, not the consoles.
I realize that all of this is going to go right into one ear and out the other for most of you fanboys because you don’t look at facts, you just think that the developers make one game and copy one to DVD and one to Blu-ray and release it. It doesn’t work like that. Anyone who is smart would realize this, but I’m afraid that’s not how people thing around here.
Best comment ever on this site.
(Only thing is that most of the time developers don’t care about a ps3 so it’s like they ‘copy paste’ it and then cover up with ‘we developed the game at the same time for both consoles’ like bioware, but they dont get it that this saying only makes them stupid!!!)
agreed! justpatzik has a great point!
PS3 has better exclusives thats for sure, but multiplatform games look and run better on x360. Funny thing Black Ops on x360 has even better graphics than maxed out PC version.
Good God the PC version of Black Ops was a shitastic port.
This thread, my friends, is the reason people dispise Xbo fans so much…….Where are they all when the PS3 pulls a win?
Actually it goes like this-
360 fanboys despise PS3 fanboys
PS3 fanboys despise 360 fanboys
Nothing more, nothing less. Both fanboys are as bad as each other. Both gloat when they win. Both whine when they lose.
‘Where are they all when the PS3 pulls a win?’
Rubbing our eyes in disbelief
Its true though. look back at the PS3 wins, and most Xbox fans don’t even show up. especially your mate Buying1999. You Xbots have really made idiots of yourselves on this thread….thats for sure! lol
The amount of fanboys on this website is so damn sad. *Looks at Android123, Synk, and Buyinn1999*
Well i saw this coming from a mile away! Ubisoft was clearly pushing this game for the xbox 360. Lets not forget that the big hype wasn’t for the gameplay itself but the for kinect support and gunsmith modes. And then of course on E3, Ubisoft made it sound as though they were pushing the entire Ghost Recon series for the 360. That said, i did expect more than a sub-par port for the PS3. Wherever Uthe dev’s priorities are, it’s hardly good strategy to alienate a third of the gaming community.
“You Xbots have really make idiots of yourselves on this thread.” Actually, their statements are not anymore idiotic then most of the Ps3 fanboy statements. Here’s a few words for you. You should probably put the blame where it belongs on Sony for making a crippled gaming system.
ONCE AGAIN(after a looong time)
LENS OF TRUTH BRINGS US ANOTHER EXCITING H2H
After seeing this analisys and thanks to the bad job done to devs of the ps3 version there’s only one thing to say:
PS3: OWNED!
- 360 has more visuals
- 360 has better shadows
- 360 has better loading times compared to ridiculous 6GB of install!!
- 360 has no screen tearing
- 360 wins hands down
Nuff said!
Oh man how many times xbox fanboys said ps3 doesn’t got power or it ‘doesn’t add up’. Are you to stupid to understand or you don’t want to – ps3 gots power, hell it’s used to hunt perverts and combining 50+ ps3 they made like a supercomputer.
xbox360 or ps3 it doesn’t matter if you have fun with it and you should be thankful the price is so low (250$) hell i have to pay 400$ for a new 160gb slim or 380$ for xbox 250gb slim.So if you don’t have much money buy a ps3 (free online) or if you want to throw 60$ just to play with friends then fine it’s your money, not mine.
Yeah xbox360 gets this generation but only because of lazy developers (who i keep asking myself how come they even got a job, damn i want a job where you don’t have to do much).
I compare xbox360 to ps3 like a whore to a classy woman (the better the whore more she will cost, but if you want to have a c.w. you have to work hard to get her ‘good stuff’)
So in conclusion if you love 2+ discs fore some games, paying 60$ for online, missing out graphicly wonderful exclusives then buy xbox360
but!!!! if you want minor fps and color differences (1-3 fps max and brighter games) in exchange for more awesomer exclusives then buy a ps3.
Huh all my 1/2 year thoughts in 1 commentary, damn i’m good.
)
I just have one more thing to say….The SUPERIOR XBOX 360 wins again without the need for a M A N D A T O R Y install. LMFAO!!!!!!!!

@Richie
And here on display in Sony Defense Force play no 2 “When the INFERIORITY of the over priced internet ready blu ray player has be exposed and there no defense resort to personal attacks.” Man you know that play by heart. I bet you’ll get a promotion.
Now back to reality…
To borrow one of the best comments to ever grace this site I quote Sulf4…”xbox 360 has better gpu more memory take less memory for his os has 10meg cache memory on gpu better dev kits for devs and better architecture thats the reson why the 360 is the better console the ps3 fanboy always shoot the same excuses after and after uncharted god of war but those games are not on the 360 to compare visuals so its easy for them to claim that 360 has no game to compare but 360 has no dev like sony santa monica or naughty dog those devs are god devs and if those guys were or will be on microsoft and naughty dog could be game like uncharted will be more beautifull with better visual on 360 with his better gpu more memory access better devs kit so stop crying ps3 fanboys because its gonna be like that until the end end of this gen and dont come back any more with the port excuse after six years cuz the pc receive port from 360 and has better visual than 360 even if it s a port because the hardware is better and ps3 crap visual because crap hardware end of story sony company has always be a specs seller hardware in each gens and when their console arrive on the market were nothing spécial like ps2 was supposed to be so powerfull but beaten by xbox 1 on th hardware and dreamcast with his nec gpu and 8 meg vram against only 4 meg vram on ps2 was better than the ps2 but the sega condole was too much easy for copy game and sega financial problem and bad timing gave up but l have to admit one thing in sony favor they have better exclusives game than microsoft more diversities microsoft 8 games on 10 is a shooter their exclusifs are just shooter like third party versus sony exclusifs god of war uncharded are adventure action game versus halo or gear of war 360 exclusif microsoft should give us more action or adventure game on exclusif instead of shooter third party just make shooter most of the time so give us something else”
Xbox 360 is the BEST console EVER made. –John Carmack
man you with your ‘overpriced internet ready blueray player’
you know that microsoft will steal (again) from sony and put blueray in their new shitbox(oh it’s shitbox because i had it like 3 years and it broke – the 120gb elite jasper)
and btw. john carmac is not that smart because is behind RAGE – ps3 better performance game and if he said xbox is …… why then the game RAGE is on 3 discs ?
Dudes of LOT, start calibrating the monitor, stop putting more contrast on the 360 image, and last but not least take the picture with the texture loaded. You americans need to study more, u are becoming quite stupid. manipulation of photos is crime and u keep doing this because 360 is an american console your economy is fucked and you need to make stupid and brainless american teenagers to keep buying microsoft low quality products… It is a real shame… You guys should use techinal tools to the analysis, I thought you americans were more well organized and better supplied with your material… Sucks to be you blind teenage kids, lost in a decade without a good fight to cause, or good music to hear, or a good company to support, instead you are backing up a company like M$…they are getting all the profits and you living an illusion that you are part of it… stupid consumers…
Please, next time do more research before posting.
about x360 and ps3 gamma diferrence http://filmicgames.com/archives/14
If the game is designed around x360 no matter what it will look worse on ps3.
this is from developer of The Witcher 2:
“Xbox 360 has its own specific output colour/gamma curve, different from PCs, and TV sets have totally different colour rendering from monitors designed for gamers and office work. We had lots of issues like overexposure, ugly colour-banding in shadows, strange colours and wrong gamma.”
To overcome the issues, the programming team stepped in to assist the artists with some much needed modifications.
“We helped artists and implemented colour pre-scale that helps to fight banding, changed the tone-mapping process to work differently with a more intuitive set of parameters, and designed a special filmic-like colour curve that looked just fine on most TVs,” Wroński continues, pointing out that the decision helped immeasurably with the final presentation of the Xbox 360 game.”
Ignorance truly is bliss. At least this one is never going to realize just how ludicrous the nonsense he spouted was. Because otherwise, he might just too ashamed to even show himself to the rest of the society anymore.
I love my PS3 for exclusives and the added blu-ray player, but when it comes to multi-platform releases I always go with 360.
Sorry fanboys.
Ok, so… Where is the Max Payne Head to Head?!!! And for the records, i know is a free site and etc, i don’t want any moral ppl telling me that im wrong and stuff, but guys, you finally fix your machine and what do you do?!! You analyze a sucky game that no one cares about, Max Payne Head to head, can i have it please? im still waiting for it to know what version to buy, thank you
ez will for the supreme console. Xbox 360 is the best console ever!
I just don’t get it, we had some amazing progress with Assassin’s creed and revelations looked so close.
Now we get this lazy port. we’re back to 2007 all over again.
i used to believe that BS that 360 ran better then ps3 untill i got my 360 ive not played 1 game on my 360 “s” that doesnt have bad texture streaming and pop-in (i install all my games) and some of them look awful like AC:R cuz of the void around the char modals that killed the emerson same with battlefield 3 anytime it gets good half my screen gos blank on my 360 and the tip of my guns suck the background into it looks like crap
but hay believe what u want ive seen it for myself
Well, try some games released before 2010, especially The Darkness. It’s the worst port I’ve ever seen it runs like 15 fps on PS3, barely playable.
You are either simply making up lies, have damaged 360. Maybe you have bad tv, cables. Who knows.
What you’re describing does not even make sense. What does it mean “half my screen gos blank on my 360 and the tip of my guns suck the background into it looks like crap?”
I own and play Battlefield 3 on 360 and I have literally never ever encountered what you are describing. I use and HDMI cord and played the game both ways, from dvd, and later installed.
Another reason I believe you are simply lying is because, if you have both systems, and believe ps3 is superior, why on earth would you buy Battlefield 3 for the 360? Just to take a look at it?
“but hay believe what u want ive seen it for myself’
Everyone can see on each Head2Head this website has, dozens of people confirm results contrary to what you’re writing. This leave only two options I’ve mentioned. You’re either a liar, or are playing your 360 through old school Composite cables.
Though even if you used composite cables I doubt you’d have what you’re describing, so you probably made the whole thing up to make yourself feel better.
You battling Xboxers and PlayStationers are still missing the point to this site. LensOfTruth isn’t here to provide “proof” on which system is better, they’re giving the fans of VIDEO GAMES a chance to see what developers have done with a game on 2 very similar yet very different systems.
I own and play both systems. My PS3 is great with it’s very diverse exclusives and loads of deals and my 360 is great because I can easily hop online and play a game with friends around the world.
I come here to figure out which system I would prefer to get my game on, not argue like a bunch of uneducated ignorant children.
The PS3 is once again #1 in wasted potential. And PS3 fanboys are so proud of that. They like to brag about how the PS3 is so superior that game developers don’t bother to exploits its full potential most of the time.
PS3 fanboys like to brag about how superior the PS3 hardware is, but the actul games for the PS3 are inferior most of the time.
Another disapointing showing for the PS3. Why bother making a PS3 version anyway. Game developers should only make PS3 exclusives for the PS3 most of the time.
Here is genuine gaming facts from a gamer that buys games every week for all consoles and pc.
1. PS3 has the best line up of exclusive games period all year every year and the most diverse titles from mature to young making it the best machine for the serious gaming guru that is why most of the ps3 games do not sell as much as say halo because there is a bigger option of games to buy, online is free but very standard, features like chat and party are missing which is ridiculous but I must say I have less lag on ps3 than on 360 could just be due to my adsl.
2. 360 has less exclusives than ps3 but each exclusive that the 360 dishes out is perfectly polished right through to online play and I feel that they really make sure their exclusive games are top notch unlike the ps3 eg. gran turismo 5 was a mixed bag so many years to make but we still got dodgy shadows, standard and premium cars wtf!! this is 2011/2012 unacceptable. However when it comes to the real polish of exclusives uncharted trilogy kicks all 360 exclusives out the park becuase its as smooth as butter and as solid as diamond.
3. move vs kinect with this category i say they’ve both flopped so far but have opened new doors to what we can expect with the next gen of videogames or interfaces for technology, however I find the move has more games than kinect and cater more for the hardcore gamer eg. house of the dead series, resident evil 5, no more heroes, resistance 3 and killzone 3 to name a few where as with kinect which cost me three times the cost of move i have very few games that appealed to me eg. eden, sports, adventures, ubisoft fittness and a few more very disappointing no competetion to ps3 move.
4. blu ray yes you can all say what you want 360 fanboys but you love it and you want it because once you’ve watched a blu ray movie dvd sucks and dont say you have a blu ray player instead of a ps3 because a ps3 costs almost the same price so get a life and you cant watch 3d movies without blu ray.
5. online yes its true ps3 fanboys this is where microsoft and the 360 changed the way we all game on consoles even ps3 had to change there ways to get close to 360 online eg. trophies for achievements.
ps3 just never could catch up to the awesome xboxlive experience and that is why its free otherwise sony would have had to dump the ps3 in my opinion.
6. at the end of the day not everybody has the money for both consoles but either way be thankful u have one because they both good and some people cant even afford a controller not to mention a console.
7. now for the big shock yes its the PC its unbeatable it does everything has the best graphics, biggest library of games, backwards compatible, super fast, online is amazing, internet browsing rocks, used for work, watch movies(blu ray, 3d, dvd etc.) and will always set the bar for consoles. However its the most expensive machine to maintain in the top tier so I cannot use the PC here as a alternative to consoles.
8. the end sorry for the long write but its my two cents and i’ve read quite alot of you guys writes for quite sometime.
you have Needles Kane picture and xbot in name and you talk shit to ps3, well:
“Shut up and bleed, you Motherfucker”
—Sweet Tooth, Twisted Metal (2012)
Alright, I withdraw previous statement. Not waiting for bargain bin, eliminating desire to purchase altogether.
Shiiittt, I nearly wasted money today if I wasn’t so lazy. luckily, this review came up to save me.
read my other post b4 u ask if ive played games b4 2010 i still own bfbc1 of my ps3 point is stop being fanboys pick ur poison bad frame rate r bad texture and pop ins facts is neither one run games like a wii and ps3 exclusives run smother and look better then anything this gen 1 thing most of u need to realize is u play games in motion not screen shots
It’s really no surprise anymore when the 360 edges out the PS3 in terms of graphics or performance for multiplat games. It’s almost becoming the “norm”. It’s much more of a surprise when the PS3 edges out the 360.
The only games that I buy for my PS3 are my MS3 exclusives. Everything else goes onto my 360. I am not strapped for money so I have no problem paying for XBL, especially when I know I have a much greater online experience playing on my 360 than my PS3.
The 360 has a couple franchises (Uncharted and God of War) where the graphics look great and the developers know how to get the best performance out of the PS3. However because those games are exclusive, we will never know how well they would perform or look on the 360. Gears of war is an amazing looking franchise on the 360 with Gears 3 leading the way. Forza 4 is also an amazing looking game and performs at a solid 60fps in native 720p with some of the best lighting in games yet. I also think Halo Reach has some of the best backgrounds this gen and the online multiplayer has yet to be beaten by any other exclusive game on either consoles.
Multiplats are the ONLY way to be able to argue which system strengths out perform the other systems strengths. You can’t compare exclusives because how they look and or perform is in the eye of the beholder. Number of exclusives mean absolutely nothing as just because a game is exclusive, doesn’t mean it’s a great game…cough Haze, Lair, Too Human…..
If you ONLY own a PS3 or ONLY own a 360 then these comparisons are meaningless since you can only buy the version of the game for the system you own. I LOVE this site as it tells me which version is the best version for my hard earned $$$. Since my closest friends also own a 360 and buy all their games on the 360, I also have to buy some of the lower quality version of multiplats on the 360 for that reason. I also prefer the 360 controller much much more than the PS3 controller and XBL is a godsend with it being integrated into every game on the 360 making communications with my friends so much more easier than on PSN…or whatever the new stupid name it was changed to too try and get people to forget the PSN hack.
Thanks LoT for your hard work.
Sorry, the comment:
“The only games that I buy for my PS3 are my MS3 exclusives.”
should read The only games that I buy for my PS3 are my PS3 exclusives.
@man of the year
Dude that is one of the best comments I’ve read on here to date. I also own an over priced internet ready blu ray player and ONLY use it for the sony exclusives. and to play netfilx in my kids’ room. Everything else goes to the 360 and my gaming pc. That exclusive explanation that you gave is awesome and really takes away ANY argument that the over priced internet ready blu ray player camp can come up with.

Best comment. I have the same opinion.
man of the year says: “Multiplats are the ONLY way to be able to argue which system strengths out perform the other systems strengths.

I’m sorry to bust your bubble “man of the year” but that is the most ridiculous answer anyone can give someone to jusyify buying a console based on strength, imagine working at a video game shop and you tell them this garbage you just said.
I bought my 360 because i wanted mass effect 1, gears, halo, alan wake, forza, kinect, project gotham racing etc.
I bought my ps3 for resistance, uncharted, ratchet, demon’s souls, move etc.
Its because of those strengths that people buy consoles not graphic comparisons, I bet you out of the millions of people out there that play the multiplats on either console only 10-20% give a shizzel which console it plays better on I know you said it matters to you I respect that but there are way more strengths to each console but exclusives are what really make them appeal to the client and thats why we have mascots/poster boys or girls etc. eg. Wii has Mario, Sega had/has Sonic, 360 has Master Chief, PS3 has Kratos.
So bottomline your a 360 fanboy dont be so narrowminded
@Buying1999:
”Dude that is one of the best comments I’ve read on here to date”- no it’s not
‘I also own an over priced internet ready blu ray player and ONLY use it for the sony exclusives’ – no you don’t

@keeping_it_real:
hahaha ps3 got kratos nuff said
I have a 360, PS3, and Gaming PC. I get games on each system due to how it performs as well as controls an graphics. Online is also a big component since it really does affect how the game is played. Xbox Live is better, then again you have to pay $60 a year whereas PS3 is free, but not as good. 360 usually is better at multiplatform, but there are exceptions to the rule.
fanboys… fanboys everywhere…
BUYING is trolling really hard LOL LOL. I wonder how poor you are.
You can only afford a poor man’s PC called Xbox 360.
While I own both of the consoles (plus wii and portables) this analysis just adds to the prevailing truth that nearly every multiplatform game is better on the 360.
I like the PS3 when I play an exclusive on it, but truth is truth, most games are better on 360.
Even if you ignore the games, the store of 360 is better as well. It simply has many more games, faster connection, and each downloadable Arcade Game has a demo.
(but yes, in case anyone wants to mention this, ps3 is built better when you look at it from the outside. Sure)
You know what’s funny though? You NEED analysis like this to even find out what differences there are between both platforms. I’m sure if these analysis articles didn’t exist and people would just look at each game side by side themselves, most wouldn’t even tell which one is better.
Now unless a multiplat game is SERIOUSLY screwed up on either platform (Bayonetta, Red Dead Redemption, Final Fantasy 13) then there really is no reason to gloat about the performance of a multiplat game on a certain console.
Xbox Live and PSN is a much different story of course. But seeing as I need to pay a fee just to access the ability to BUY newly released games, access other PAID services such as Netflix and Hulu or even access to FREE services such as YouTube and facebook or to even try out FREE DEMOS a week before silver members…. it really isn’t worth it at all. PSN has online play and it works. It gives me the free option to join other services such as Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Video for a separate fee. I can chat with people, send messages, join their games, invite them, etc all without having to spend a dime. The “faster connection” thing you brought up is pretty false though. It entirely depends on your own internet provider. Oh and to be quite honest… Playstation Plus is a FAR better value than Xbox Live Gold has ever been.
its funy how u brag abt multiplat games! wen u have games like halo,gears,uncharted,gow,heavyrain,forza.. multiplat games dont come close to these games in terms o graphics! and dont tel me u have more fun playn multiplat games knowin your console has better graphics! u idioT! u had to come here in the first place to even notice it! wel to me good games depend on story, how wel it plays online, how stupid the ai is, wht new and inovative things they have done with the game,how long is the game, is it worth the amount i payd for! and then finaly does look like ps1 games or does it look like current gen! does it look better on ps3 or xbox? umm it doesnt matter! u wil get the same experience in the end! coz its the xact same game!!!! unless u care abt graphics and analysis then u wont njoy it n u dont deserve to njoy it! so its al in yr head!!!!! or is it???
