PS3 version is much sharper and the colors more vibrant. My fears are alleviated. Not even mad about the timed exclusive DLC now.
Crystal Dynamics is a very good developer, I had a good feeling they won't mess Tomb Raider up. They should go back to their roots and make another Soul Reaver. :P
I still don't get why Lara, a strong woman with humor and a temper is now a scared teenage girl ... And I loved the TR games with exploration / riddles and some action, now it's an action game with some exploration / riddles (reviews say that all hidden temples are optional)

Because its an origin story. This details her adventures before she became the Tomb Raider we're familiar with.
Conan seems to have liked it

Link to a comparison? You sure those aren't pre rendered scenes? The ps3 always has better pre rendered cutscenes because of bluray.PS3 version is much sharper and the colors more vibrant. My fears are alleviated. Not even mad about the timed exclusive DLC now.

[QUOTE="StrongBlackVine"]And the PC version beats both 360 and PS3 graphically so not sure what your point is... I'd take the ease of use ps3 version if it's visually sound. The 7.1 PCM sound is a huge bonus for me in theatrical games like this and uncharted.PS3 version is much sharper and the colors more vibrant. My fears are alleviated.

87 metacritic score is very impressive. I didn't even think about getting it but with the rave reviews, I may have to get it. I like this type of game genre. I just watched a trailer of it "survival combat" and it really looks sweeeeet. There is so much that she can do in the game.

The 7.1 PCM sound is a huge bonus for me in theatrical games like this and uncharted. I don't see the PS3 version as any easier to use than just booting the game up from Steam, and I can get the same audio quality from my PC, but to each his own. The main point I was trying to make though, was that there's no reason to bring up a graphical comparison in this thread in the first place, especially when both versions are clearly outclassed by another version anyway.PS3 version is much sharper and the colors more vibrant.

Please take your "PCs are superior" bullsh*t to the appropriate forum. We all know PCs are superior. Do you enjoy stating the obvious? Does it make you feel smart? This is not the PC forum so YOUR point is out of place here. Understand???

[QUOTE="Texas2089"]PS3 vs. 360 vs. PC = System WarsKravyn81Fixed that for ya. You're welcome. Didn't need it fixed. The way you worded things in your response made it seem like the comparisons of graphics between 360 and PS3 was totally ok here because it's a console board, so I was clarifying that it wasn't ok to begin with. Admittedly I probably shouldn't have even brought it up, but I love how you defend him for his PS3 > 360 comment, and yet I'm the dick for pointing out that the PC version is better than both.

Yes, because it's comparing console to console. Not console to console to PC as you alluded to when you brought up the PC comparison. So in that effect it needed correction. Coming in and saying the PC version is superior on a console forum is pretty silly since that's not what the original comparison was, was it? No. It was comparing a console version to another console version which is completely legitimate comparison on a CONSOLE FORUM. Not comparing the PC version to the console versions. And yes, it is a dick move to just blurt out how superior the PC version is when nobody was saying anything to the contrary because it was directly comparing two console versions.

This is a PS3 forum, not a general console forum. Cross-platform comparison of any kind isn't what this board is for and all were in the wrong on this. If you want to have cross-platform comparisons or passively insult other users over what game system they play on go to system wars or youtube. This board is better than all that
And yes, it is a dick move to just blurt out how superior the PS3 version is when nobody was saying anything to the contrary because no one was comparing anything at all. Kravyn81That's how that should be worded, and that was Texas's point. This is not the place to compare two versions of the game, no matter what sort of gaming system they are on. And frankly, suggesting that a console comparison is okay but a PC comparison is a dick move is hypocritical.
[QUOTE="Texas2089"]PS3 vs. 360 vs. PC = System WarsKravyn81Fixed that for ya. You're welcome. Console vs console is system wars buddy.
source please? I fail to see why the PS3 version looks better graphically than the 360 version and that is with any game for that matter.PS3 version is much sharper and the colors more vibrant. My fears are alleviated. Not even mad about the timed exclusive DLC now.

I'm gonna leave it at that, and let's get back on topic. The game is getting fantastic reviews and we all can't wait to play it regardless of platform of choice. Can't wait till next Tuesday :D

Don't really want to debate this much further, but the PS3 can clearly produce better visuals than. It is harder to program for which is why 360 genearlly gets better versions of multiplats. PS3 exclusives prove this this.
As soon as I saw this comparison, I ran out and put my reserve down for the ps3 version. Thanks!PS3 version is much sharper and the colors more vibrant. My fears are alleviated. Not even mad about the timed exclusive DLC now.

there is no debate, the PS3 versions simply do not produce better visuals than the 360, since the PS3 uses Blu Ray the cutscenes ONLY look better, the PS3 exclusives dont prove anything other than thats your opinion because there are no facts in that.Please Log In to post.
