360/PS3 multiplats comparison?

So as of early 2009 I was reading that multiplats for the 360 and PS3 looked better, ran better (framerate), and played better (no lag online), on the 360 with a few exceptions. I finally got myself a PS3, and want to know if this is still the case with the newer games. I never worried about this since I only had a 360, but now that I have both I would prefer to get the better game. Of course if the difference is nearly nonexistant, then I'll probably get it on the PS3. But can you guys give me comparisons of some newer games (RDR, Street Fighter, CoD, BFBC, Borderlands). Is the framerate on the PS3 just as good now? I think the graphics have never really been noticably different, but shouldn't they look a lot better on the PS3 by now? And also, how is the PS3 online compared to 360's?

Note that this isn't a comparison of exclusives. It's already pretty much a given that most PS3 exclusives look better than 360 exclusives.

Also I am not talking about Fallout 3 GOTY and Dragon Age Origins, because I already know that there are pretty big differences in quality for those two. I'm wondering if there are any other games that have big differences? And is online for PS3 just as good as XBL for multiplats?

Digital Foundry comparisons are probably your best bet (just google *game name* Digital Foundry comparison). However you could also give Lens of Truth a go.

I believe there is also a list giving a general idea of which multiplat turned out better on what system. I forget where it is though :P

RDR is better on the 360, no Qs asked.

All the Call of Duty's, the Street Fighters and the Battlefields are identical on both platforms, so it's probably a matter of controller preference, or which console your friends are getting it on.

Borderlands is better on the 360.

As for the online, there is NO difference in lag between the two platforms, I don't know where that myth stemmed from, but XBL has a larger community. This will be unnoticeable though since the numbers of people playing are generally high on both platforms so finding a game won't be a problem, but if you want to find more people with headsets, then XBL is the way to go. It doesn't matter to me though since I always mute people.

RDR, Street Fighter, CoD, BFBC, Borderlands

RDR looks better on 360. Like by alot. It runs at a smoother FPS on PS3 though.

Street Fighter is close, but its more vibrant and has Anti Aliasing on 360.

BFBC 2 theres no differences really.

Borderlands actualy looks better on PS3, but is missing effects that the 360 version has like partical effects, bloom, and stuff liek that. Plus, it runs better on 360 FPS wise.

take it froma guy who stresses about this kind of stuff. Most of the time, the 360 version of said Multiplatform ends up better then the PS3 version. I can link you to legit comparison sites to prove this. however, the degree of these differences depends game by game. Sometimes theyre big, sometimes there not. However, still, 80-90 percent of the time theyre better on 360 in some way. Wether its screentearing, Textures, AA, Effects, Frame rate, etc. etc. Its rarer then the Browns winning for the PS3 version of a game to be better then the 360 version. but its as common as the Colts winning for the 360 version to be better.

Always found that to be a bit confusing. Also, Its best to read teh in depth analysis rather then the final "this wins or that"

But yeah, this article proves my point.

I would also recommend this site. theyre pretty indepth: http://www.eurogamer.net/archive.php?platform=digitalfoundry&type=face-off

Youll find that most times 360 gets the nod.

Alright so 360 wins most of the time still (which I find amazing), which are the major exceptions? Dragon Age and what else? How was Batman: AA? What games for the PS3 offer more bonus content than the 360 (for example, Batman with the Joker levels and Spider-Man 3 with Green Goblin)?thequietguy

Upcoming games that have exclsuive content for PS3 are Medal of honor, Mafia 2, and Dead Space 2.

Im not sure what upcoming 360 stuff is getting Exclusvie stuff outside of every Call of Duty from now until 3 years from now getting the map packs first on 360.

Batman looked better on 360. I didnt find the Joker levels to be worth getting it on PS3 over getting it on 360 where it looked better on 360 personaly. Bayonetta is balls on PS3, RDR is not quite as bad, but its still alot worse on PS3. Personaly, I would jsut look at the site I linked you, or the site youw erelinked that gave a accumulation of all the comaprisons. Or try Lensoftruth.com. Keepin mind it can take some time to formulate their findings, so you can either wait till tehy come out, or just paly it safe and get it on 360.

Most of the time the 360 gets the better version and that's before the optional game installs.

according to various critics,the large majority of multiplats, including titles such as MW2, RDR, GTA4, the Orange Box, RE5, GRAW2 and Assassins Creed 1/2, look better on the 360.

MOH adn Dead Space 2 gets speacil PS3 Exclusvie limited Editions. The good thing about these limited editions is that they are the same price as a standard game (60 dollars) and the MOH one comes with a HD remake of MOH Frontlines and the Dead Space 2 one comes with a PS3 version fo the wii game Dead Space Extraction, which is a on rails light gun game. The game will support PS Move. And I assume tehse speacil editions will come with speacil bocing adn all that. That Mafia 2 Exclusvie DLC is Exclusive Missions on PS3. However, im eharing rumblings that Mafia 2 may not be that great on PS3 froma graphical and performance side. This si from a impression that Shacknews.coms Garnett Lee said and from soem comaprisons I saw of the two versions side by side, but that site might be questionable. But Garnett Lee did say that when he saw the PS3 version of Mafia 2 he said it looked "Rough"

Its rarer then the Browns winning for the PS3 version of a game to be better then the 360 version.

no need to take a shot at my browns!

Right now, the difference is not significant except for a few exceptions, your good with either version.FIipMode

don't fall for the myth cows have created. Eurogamer has proven that most multiplats nowadays still look noticeable better on the 360.

but obviously the differences are significant enough for eurogamer to write articles to tell people to purchase the 360 versions. :o

i didn't say eurogamer "stated" such a claim. i said they proved it.

they proved it with their 100+ comparisons, most of which have the 360 versions as the winner.

From the 360 winning to 360 multiplats being "noticeable better" there's a huge distance.

Usually, those victories are based on unnoticeable differences.

how can eurogamer decide a winner if the differences are unnoticeable?

"Little" differences don't signify a clear freaking winner. A "major" difference like FFXIII and Bayonetta are significant. Little differences are what we call in reality not important. Why would Eurogamer make an article about something not noticable between two games? To get hits, money, popularity, etc, etc.
