Both look like shit but ps3 also looks too bland.
I like the PS3 look better. The high contrast in the XBOX version don’t look natural.
PS3 looks better but I won’t be buying this game anyway.
Where’s the dust trail on the dirt road in the 360 version???
Crappy game regardless of the system.
I think im slightly inclined to prefer ps3 version, but only slightly, and only in some shots. there is a horrible orange tint to 360 version, that reminds me of my days doing hallucinogenic drugs as teen, but then again, the ps3 version looks kinda greyish-red. omg, they really f’ed up the colour settings on this game lol
i read the games ok, but nothing special, so not high on my games list, but would not say its crap based on reviews i read.
Ps3 version too bland, 360 unnaturally bright and colourful . Someone needs to adjust the settings on both big time.
Genuinely not sure which one looks worse in their current settings .
This game has an awesome soundtrack.
PS3 wins by a mile! Anyway this looks very bad on both…
Well here’s another victory for 360. Man the ps3 fanboys must really be getting tired of this. I mean 360 has kicked ps3′s ass for 5 years now. Oh I know what it is…lets’s see..what do the ps3 fanboys say???/ Oh yeah I remember…”Stupid developers havent’ figured out how to program the PS3 yet.” ROFL. I love that one!!!
Yeah…360 still kickin that overpriced, internet ready, hacked, blu ray player’s ass.
I like how the ps3 looks dont like how the 360 has an orange tint on it
Another Crapy summertime game just like Duke Nuken, Alice and the transformer game. Times like this I’m glad i’m not some punk kid who beats all of there new games in a day and has nothing to do but play games online like Call of Duty or Halo during gaming the summertime gaming lull. I never have a gaming lull. I’m always playing new games hack I just got Portal 2 used for thirty-five bucks and i’m about to get LA Noire and infamous 2. Thats 3 good games to keep me busy till Gears 3 and Resistance 3 to come out. Ahhh it good to be a older gamer and have other things in my life to do besides videogames.
A serious improvement from Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising (for the PS3 version at least,) and I think that the color scheme of each version is as preferable as one another (meaning that they both aren’t very preferable at all.) Anyway, I think graphics are pretty much a tie, but knowing Codemaster, the PS3 version will probably have more screen-tears and performance hiccups overall. Of course, one can’t know for sure until the performance analysis is out, but I would think that one should stick with the Xbox 360 version to be on the safe side. That said, I ain’t getting this game.
I think the PS3 has the slight edge on this one. Both look nearly identical, except for the dramatic orange hue on the Xbox version, which doesn’t look real, unless its during a volcanic ash storm. Also no dust trail behind the vehicles on Xbox. Other than that, I struggle to see any other difference at all. Although the textures on the players golve are slightly more pronounced on the Xbox (umless its a motion blur issue). If it wasn’t for the orange, it would have to be a tie. I am puzzled though, all the comments so far favour the PS3, but the vote say’s otherwise. Jut another generic war game I’m afraid.
it’s not bad from what i read on the psmagazine!
but not for me! i would prefer to save my money for another game!
especially if i were an xbox player.sorry but the games look crapier on xbox.i m just telling the truth!
XBOX 360 has exclusive sunset confirmed.
This is a great game. Reviews for it seem lower than they should be, and sure its not the best lookig game but you can see enemies from 800+Meters away what did you expect.
It is a slower game though and you can dies very easily from just one person, so it takes alot of teamwork and you have to pay attention to surroundings.
But overall for a .mil sim i really enjoy it
I like the look of the 360 more because it’s more colorful. Other than that the games look identical.
Notice that in the 9th screenshot ps3 version seems to have somke effect which is absent in the xbox 360 version.
This game looks like shit on both consoles!
Christ almighty, there’s a huge jarring difference in colour.
ScreenShots screenshots and screenshots…. :/
And another clear XBOX 360 victory.
xbox 360 wins hands down this one:
-Better textures
-Better shadows
-Better draw distance
-Better sunset
-Better road, the road on the screenshot where they are on the vehicle
looks bad on the ps3 side.
both have alliasing issues.
xbox 360 looks slighty darker, but better
I don’t see how x360 has better textures, shadows or draw distance. At least, not from these shots. The road you mentioned is hidden in the PS3 version due to dust trails which are absent in the 360 version. The only thing better on the 360 version seems to be very slightly better normal maps (from the same screenshot).
Do you copy and paste your messages? I see you wrote the same exact thing about FEAR 3. Please stop being a fanboy. The 2 games are identical. For some unknown reason they just have a different choice of gamma colours and personally I like the X360 one slightly better, but that’s only a personal taste.
Oh… and PS3 has a fog of dirt coming out from the back of the vehicle that’s missing on the X360.
@Zolrak
better sunset????u call that sunset? look at you!u fooled me in the other topic(fear 3 comparison)lol
who is the fanboy now huh????man i can’t believe this sh*t
look at urself first before u talk about others
@michel: no, I wrote thos first. An style is not the same as copy and paste text.
Do many sore fanboy around!! Learn from me, that I admit when 360 is the crap when ps3 versions own its ass
I agree with you in a few things but sunset? really? textures according LOT seems to be the same. And, to finish it! ps3 has dust fx that is missing from tha road!!
I’ve given up talking to zolrak as he’s clearly mental. U can’t have rational conversation with him. I suggest u do same
360 has better textures, and a better color scheme imo, but the darkness tends to block out alot. Really doesnt matter, seeing as the game looks like crap either way, at least compared to Resistance 3 and Battlefield 3, this year’s graphical kings.
hey LoT staff i dont want to be this “guy” but the head2head aren’t working properly anymore, for example in the rollover images i get the ps3 pic first (ones the page loads on the browser)but when i touch it with the pointer mouse it flashes to xbox then to ps3, then i move away the pointer and it is set to xbox pic instead of the ps3 pic which was the first pic i got when the browser finished loading the page, on the slide pics when i click on the green bar that is in the middle which is for moving the slider to see the pic underneath, it looks like im graving the pic to move it around and the pic underneath turns blue like if am highlighting it (which im not), and the lesn feature doesn’t even work so yeah, im using google chrome and it used to work great before you guys changed the website, i also installed adblock and i have my network bridged in case thats of any help to you guys, i hope i made this clear since english is my second language so i hope you guys understand me, gracias
I’ve been having these same problems as well. It was fine before they updated but now some “lens” features don’t work and also I having the same problem where you can’t drag the slider you have to click.Yeah I’m really sick of all these ads ruining my computer, but oh well I know they don’t have so much budget.
The more colourful looking 360 version definitely wins this.
The 360 seems to be winning all the h2h screenshot comparision’s lately lol.
I think ur really stretching facts calling this a 360 win lol
I would on rinciple alone say this is a lose on both consoles, as the colour scheme is f***ed on both of them, its really a case of which s**t colours u personally prefer, as they are both a million miles away from anything resembling reality. Its like they decided to choose the colour schemes whilst doing LSD or Mushrooms on 360, and its like they decided to base the ps3 colour scheme on a someone who has a slight cataract lol
so fear is more colorful in the ps3,does that mean that ps3 wins there???
Are yot for real, amigo?(im not mexican, heheh)
Geeze, i agree with you so many times…but geeze, sometimes you are Fanboy, and not as an adjective only, you are called the Fanboy in the flesh!
yes,sometimes i am to tell the truth,it’s because the weather is hot here,so i have more nerves lol
PS3 version looks better ?
Xbox 360 Version looks better ?
WTF ?
Both versions have the same crappy textures and aliasing from hell.
Differences apart from the colour scheme are hard to find but close inspection reveals to me that the ps3 has slightly better shadows and possibly slightly better anti aliasing. 360 appears to have better mip-mapping or antioscopic filtering though which allows more detail in the distance and the colour scheme does look more vibrant even if the ps3 looks more realistic
Overall resolution and texture resolution look on a par and so even with all that being said id call this one a draw.
Furthermore having played this gme to completion on ps3 i can without doubt declare this as the worst looking game iv played in the last 2-3 years althought the draw distance and vistas can on occasion impress.
360 WINS!!!!!!!
360 has better lighting and more environment detail.
ok,let’s say this screenshots are from a pc,and there are two diffrent options for this game:the one is the ps3 screenshot which has dat color and the other option is the xbox pic which has diffrent color.
which option will you guys select on ur pc?and why?
Where’s smoke particles in Xbox 360?
Why is soooo orange?!!!
Both have the same texture resolution…
It’s so obvious wich console is better that i wont write it.(not that anyone is expecting my opinion to decide wich one to buy, hehe)
LOT why did you crop out picture #8?, The absence of a smoke trail is a big difference.
Because on picture #9 it’s there?
It’s cropped/zoomed to get a better look at the textures. While picture #9 shows your dust. If you’re accusing them of anything, just stop.
Take your “blue blockers” off android123, the orange hue looks awful and unnatural. Man, you are so blinded by fanboyism.
Well, realy we are here to compare the graphics, as we can see the xbox 360 present better anisotropic filter, soft shadows (1st picture) and better textures sn the background (last picture), i dont know the native resolution, but i guess it could be 720p for both, in conclusion the game experience is exactly the same but the xbox presents some details that could be saw when you put it side to side.
Tie. Definitely a tie.
The ps3 looks dull while the xbox has bright colours but the graphics look the same I also have this game and it is really gud both versions should be fun to play
Who put the yellow screen in front of the tv screen of the of the 360 version”lol
The PS3 Version looks better especially when one does a quick look as though your in a hurry.
