Battlefield 3

Strange that it looks better on the Xbox as most ads for the game promote the PS3. Also PS3 owners are getting the DLC earlier if I am not mistaken? Glad I stuck with XBOX, although I am really going to miss Uncharted 3

Proud owner of both systems

But I have no time to play Uncharted 3 though, will be too busy with BF3 on the Xbox

Im not knocking the PS3, becaues I do own it, but it always makes me wonder how a system that supposedly has superior hardware inside doesnt look as good as the 360 and Ive seen this in alot of games. I'll be on my 360 for sure.

It has less memory, it might be able to process more, but it simply can't keep as much in the memory, which is important for texture quality and view distances.

The thing I dont get is if they are simply not porting the games, how can the ps3 exclusives look and run so well?
Iv just seen the uncharted review and it looks pretty stunning.
Gt in premium mode, god of war, heavy rain, kill zone.....
they all look superb and have very little bugs.

sorry if its off track but its always baffled me

In the 360 vs. PS3 beta comparisons on youtube the 360 version looks significantly better. I'm assuming that won't change when both have the HD textures running.

I saw that video before. I played the beta on PS3 and it really didn't look like that. That video is strangely dark and soft there.

A video may be made to compare and the XBOX may come out on top but that's definitely not the video to make it.

Working for one system allows them to specifically target the hardware much better.

Then besides that, there's the games that have taken 5 years to come out for PS3--after that much time it better look awesome. And then as far as games like Uncharted--this will be the third game they've made for the system, which means that they know by now how to work with the system well.

On the other side, just compare Gears of War to Gears of War 3--there's big graphical changes.

That's one argument for extending the console lifecycle. If a company released a game when the console first launches, they only have enough time to get one more game out for the system before it gets replaced by new hardware. For other developers it's even worse, they only get one game out for the system before it all changes again. That's why at this point in time there are so many games with graphics better than what the consoles first had, since now the developers have had a good amount of time to work with the systems.

Very well said.

However, I will now want BF4 on the Xbox 360 replacement and no longer on Xbox 360.

I imagine it will look like the PC version of BF3 set to ultra-max, or even better!

Oh well, that's still 3 years away.

Lets see, Xbox 360 replacement out 2013.

BF4 out 2014.

DICE has already said that BC3 wil come out for the 360, so that will be the inbetween game.

This threads about Battlefield guys. Not much longer to wait!

My gamertag is clstriggerfish feel free to send invites.

Jye, I'm guessing we'll see a new BF before 14. This games going to make EA a lot of money. I just hope it doesn't become annual and ruin the series.

With all the multi format games, iv personally only seen one game that was better on the ps3 and that was portal 2 although i heard the last assassins creed was also very good.

Anyways back to the thread. All you lucky people from across the pond will be getting there grubby little mitts on this midnight.
Enjoy the game and tell us what you think.
Il be joining the battle this Friday

are you serious.

this a fan boy video.
they messed up with the bightness and when they do the frame rate test they speed up the xbox side.


I played the demo on all systems pc xbox and ps3. consoles looked exact the same. best graphics are on PC.

 

[jye4ever]

I would have to agree with SS, I'm sure PS3/Xbox will look pretty much the same all things being equal with the HD textures being used on both.
