MLB 2K7 from IGN. PS3 version - 7.4360 version - 7.9 Now if you read the comments at the bottom where they give the scores, you will see that they wrote the same exact things for both games. for example, for the "Presentation" category, IGN states, "The television styled presentation is hampered by odd slowdown issues, constant rendering passes and overused blur filters." for both versions. However, the PS3 version got a 7.5 rating and the 360s version got a 8.0 rating. Same goes for the other categories. Both versions were reviewed by the same guy, and both reviews are exactly the same. I would love to hear why the 360s version got a higher score when it is clear that he didn't state any differences between the games.

I am showing how a reviewer can not give one difference between a multiplatform game but give one console's version a higher score than another console's version.

I could see the higher score if the rumble feature is really noticeably missed in the PS3 version, but not by that much. Its a joke.

I think he gave it a lower score because the six axis did not work as well has he had hoped.. which is still bs because its only a extra feature, i mean its not like the game was build around the six axis

I think it's only due to lack of rumble which hurts the pitching and that motion controls are awkward for batting.

But I haven't seen a review yet that says the visuals lack polish when compared to the 360. Which is really the only thing that seems to matter anymore between the two consoles.

The problem is...He never mentions any of that nor does he mention any of the actual differences that would call for the different scores....

The gamespot review will note the differences. IGN don't usually do that.

Agree. You would think it would be the other way around with both games being exactly the same except the ps3 having the option of the sixaxis use.

If it was then that would be mentioned in the review as a minus but it wasn't. Good gosh, I hope MS hasn't finally gotten to IGN too :cry: and before anyone cries "what just because they rated it higher on the 360 they're biased?" this is my opinion, if you don't like it - kiss my *

the thing is if the sixasas did not turn out to be that great it should not matter because you can play just like the other version. it is an option. so it should of been better because it is chioce for the person playing. what is better have 1 option to play or two options.

if anyone is crying here, it`s the fanboys, buhuu, the PS3 is rated lower, why are you surprised, every multiplat thus far has been better on the 360. stop whining on this forum and send a mail to the lazy developers or sony for making a console that is difficult to develop games on. i almost forgot, the 360 version got slightly better graphics and better online (if online), the trend continues. it doesn`t say in the review because he was to lazy to make two different reviews.

I have to agree with the guy who originally [QUOTE="eclipsed4utoo"]MLB 2K7 from IGN. PS3 version - 7.4360 version - 7.9 Now if you read the comments at the bottom where they give the scores, you will see that they wrote the same exact things for both games. for example, for the "Presentation" category, IGN states, "The television styled presentation is hampered by odd slowdown issues, constant rendering passes and overused blur filters." for both versions.

I would love to hear why the 360s version got a higher score when it is clear that he didn't state any differences between the games.

I have to agree with you on this one buddy. If GS gives one system a lower score than there must be a reason. If both systems are given the same exact review but different scores than that reads BIAS to me. I hate to say it but it has to be said given the situation on these boards and the suspicion of bias.

By the way, this multiplatform issue about games being ported from PC/360 to the PS3 in a nafarious attempt by Microsoft to make it harder for games to look better on the PS3....that plan will evenually FAIL!

Why?

1) Everyone KNOWS about it already (It's not inferior hardware, but rather the development process).
2) Other game developers WILL put more time into the PS3 finetune their PS3 games
3) We'll have examples of great games like Lair, KZ2, MSG4 that SHOW the power of the PS3. Which will  be a testiment of what is POSSIBLE on the PS3!
4) EA and other multiplatformer developers that choose to still make their games look worse on the PS3 will start to look lazy after what we already know can be done on the PS3 when more games come out that are tuned for the PS3. M$ will have egg on their face when they try to make the case that the PS3 is inferior. The amzing looking PS3 exclusives will be the PROOF!

this shows that we should only take review ratings with a grain of salt. "every multiplat thus far has been better on the 360".....but why? as this review shows, there can be NO differences between the two games and the 360 would get a better score. better graphics? please provide a link better online? please provide a link

I remember reading that the lack of rumble for the PS3 made pitching harder in multiplayer. Apparently the rumble was used to indicate where the pitch would be placed so that the other player could not tell where the pitch was going...perhaps that's the part of the difference. I agree though, the review is pretty poor, it seems to be copied word for word between the two versions and it really doesn't mention some important factors such as batting, pitching, multiplayer, etc...

How is he right? Some of you people are completely delusional. Explain to me how developers decision to port games to the PS3 is a "nefarious attempt by Microsoft." Microsoft doesn't have anything to do with it. I agree that there will be games developed primarily for the PS3, they will look amazing, and they will be a "testament" to what is possible on the PS3. The same will be true for the 360 and the Wii though. It's obviously up to the developer though to capitalize on the capabilities of a certain console and it's certainly NOT Microsoft's fault that games are not necessarily "better" on the PS3. Geez, I'm sure that all the Jews and U.S. government knew about 9/11 before it happened, and that a plane never actually hit the pentagon right? Stop with all the ridiculous conspiracy theories.

OK dude, look you're a well know troll on this forum and I'm tired of your crap. Please don't disrespect the tragic memory of 9/11 by using it for your selfish deeds. MS is well known for it's erm, shall we say "marketing tactics". It's business not conspiracies. Some company play straight some don't, this is life, recognise it but don't be naive. gizmo is pointing out what he sees happening in the gaming industry, if you disagree with his views then that's fine but a lot of people agree with his point of view too.

that's rather odd. There are absolutely no indications as to why the 360 version is better. plus they've both been reviewed by the same person. If two different people reviewed the versions or there was a difference on the time of release on the two versions then the difference in scores could be justified. Right now I don't see any reason why they shouldn't have both scored the same.
