Fanboyism aside, ( I happen to have a 360, ps3 , and high end gaming pc, ...2 of them were inadvertant gifts,),

but i have NO idea why everyone keeps saying that the graphics for NHL 09 are identical on both consoles.

It's obvious that this is like one of the very few cases where the ps3 version of a multiplatform game actually LOOKS better than the 360 version. So as you can see i am bashing and praising the ps3 at the same time (can u tell i hate fanboyism).

just look at the end of this high def video EA sports side-by-side comparison (it begins with brett favre's mug and is in the middle of the webpage),

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/xbox-360-vs-ps3-face-off-round-14-article?page=6

run it FULL SCREEN, and u can tell that the textures on the players' jerseys, their facial features/hair/shadows, and team logos/fonts are so much crisper on the ps3 version. PAUSE the video at like the 2:30 mark and look at the side by side shot of Kings player who wears number 35, if u look at his jersey cloth over his left lower back area and shoulder logo and shin gaurds texture, u can actually be shocked that the PS3 has a more detailed look vs 360.

even more obvious, pause at 2:47 mark and look at the side by side profile of Arnott, the 360 "smears and blurs" the helmet and jersey logo.

BTW, in case u didnt realize, no amount of pc optimization can save the pc version of nhl 09, the graphics are AGED, ( a perfect example where multiplatform games are NOT ALWAYS BETTER ON PC).

EA's Burnout Paradise as well.

I bought it for 360, but I borrowed the PS3 version from a friend (Because he wanted me to compare them), and the PS3 version really is better looking. Not by much, but you can tell, especially when you spend hours in the 360 version.

Sadly, not many developers are willing to put the time in, and would rather port from 360, because most wouldn't notice anyways (It's cheaper, and the install base is slightly larger...which all makes sense, it's a business after all).

It's hard to modivate pubs, because for them it's about sales, and spending more money to get more out of the PS3, Doesn't mean more sales all the time.

You know, in the end, these games look good regardless.

The only difference I see is different brightness and contrast settings.

Exactly, it doesn't save the game from its obnoxious fault, such as you have to resort to exploit goals all the time on Superstar difficulty to be able to win, because normal hockey stuff - it ain't there.

From the comparison, they look the same. The only thing that the images can't compare is the frame rate.

You're correct it does look a bit better, a bit brighter as well.

What's the point of this thread?

THe usual difference comes from the contrast and brightness effects, besides, to each his own, Lemmings will say multiplats look better and Cows will vice-versa, you really can't get an unbiased reasoning on these boards,

But quite honestly both machines perform IDENTICALLY on most games and are on-par with each other on exclusive graphics in my opinion, except one is 200 dollars more

I got it on the PC, but Dead Space looks equal on PC and 360, and more washed out on the PS3

PS3 was lead platform for Burnout Paradise, Dead Space, Mirror's Edge, etc., thus, it shouldn't come as a surprise if they look slightly superior on the PS3 compared to the 360 version.
The slightly should be emphasized however, as the graphical differences are likely too miniscule to even matter.

Seems like the PS3 has some better multiplats, but 360 still has a lot more. The worst case I've seen so far is Fallout 3.

Burnout & Mirror's Edge are supposed to be slightly better, I think Dead Space is identical though.

Can't we just agree that all these games are great on both systems? I don't understand how you guys can own either system but waste so much time thinking about another!

I have played NHL 09, and Dead Space and guess what? they are amazing!

For what system Legend_c4a you ask? who cares! I enjoyed the games period.

wow! how amazing is that? I actually liked these games regardless of the system.

damn guys, have fun and enjoy.

[QUOTE="Englandfc1966"]who cares teh_VU
Well many people debate about which console has better looking games, so I would say quite a few.

People care when theres a real difference. See fallout 3 or Bioshock. A sports game and some fiction that PS3 fanboys are spreading about (deadspace looks identical on both) isn't anything to care about.

edit: Add tomb raider to the list of Fiction as well. :lol: Come on guys, lets not hold back the entire multiplat games libary looks superior on the PS3 right?

Well, you guys forget about people who have all 3 systems (souped up pc, ps3, and 360). This demographic actually CARES ABOUT WHICH VERSION OF THE GAME LOOKS BETTER AND WHICH ONE THEY SHOULD BUY. even if the differences are minor.

this is not an issue about FANBOISM, but rather SPOILED BRATISM.

there are plenty of hits on google about how mirrors edge is better on the 360 as the PS3 lack the anti-aliasing so how exactly is the PS3 version superior as this is a thing PS3 fanboys love to point out on there exclusive.
