I know these are just the demos but still people this is just embarrassing for the PS3. I mean the difference in the grass really jumps in your face. Also from what I'm hearing on the 2k forums it has poor shadows and overall the PS3 version is a pixelated mess compared to the cleaner 360 version.

ps3

360

ps3

360

Seriously if you own both a 360 and ps3 I really don't see how anyone could spend their hard earned 60 bucks on the watered down ps3 version. People can make fun of grass, foliage all they want but for me personally it's the little things...the little things man that make the difference for me. You must admit the differences really do stick out like a sore thumb...or in this case a green thumb :lol:

That PS3 screen shot is giving me some serious Shenmue nostalgia (graphics and all...and the jacket doesn't help either :P).

I was going to say what I usually say, but that is pretty bad. How the hell do they get away with this sh*t 4 ears into this cycle ? We all know that both consoles can perform pretty much on par with the 360 doing a little higher res texture. This is just horrible.

And after looking at it again, the ps3 version does look better like another poster said. The colors are better, the trees in the one pick looks better (more fuller), and also the guys jacket and pants look alot better in the top pic for the ps3 version. Also notice that container next to the car in the top pic, its alot clear and more detailed aswell in the ps3 version. Heck you can make out the roof top of that far off house in the top pic aswell for the ps3, which in the 360 version it looks like a white blob.

But the maintenance man did cut the grass though lol.

Can't you tell? This thread is about how terrible the PS3 multiplats are, not how mediocre the 360 are in relation to gaming PCs.

As much as you want to make yourself feel good I hate to break it to you but there IS a difference and as far as that exclusive mission stuff goes I see that as nothing more than a bone thrown to the dogs....uuumm I mean cows to make up for the poor graphical quality compared to the 360 and PC. I can live without the extra missions and I wouldn't be surprised if it was released for the 360 later down the line.

There is a dramatic difference. The textures are worse, and the geometry is dramaticly worse, and the lighting ... particularly regarding shadows and muzzle flashes... is notably different. The reason they had to throw in some 'exclusive missions' is because if they didn't, nobody with both systems would have any reason whatsoever to buy the PS3 version. Ditto Assassin's Creed Brotherhood.

...and it's not just the grass. I hear that it has poor shadows and is overall very pixelated with really bad frame rate hiccups.

This reminds me of RDR, maybe the PS3 does have a harder time running open world games?

So in that top pic yall can see the roof top of that house in the distance on the 360 version?

Also notice the brick work in the ps3 version on the road in the 2nd pic. That is alot more detailed than the 360 version of the brick work. The brick pattern is right over the guys left shoulder in that pic.

if you have both syetems, and you buy the 360 version because it has grass and pass up on the free missions, you are a fool. shabab12

grass?i played the demo on the ps3 and the last thing i was worried about is the grass, wow, come on unless you had a ps3 and 360 rright next to each other i guarantee you wouldn't have noticed that heck unless the TC said wait look at the grass you wouldn't have cared. Wow is this how people spend their time? the game runs and looks beautiful these comparisons are so ridiculous, seriously the grass, i'm sure there are areas where the ps3 looks better and i'm sure they are areas where the 360 looks better, but who cares the game was pretty fun. Grass, man system wars has become a joke now, but then again in resident evil 5 i remember it was a dirt pipe that was compared between the 360 and ps3, TC you go ahead and get the 360 version because the grass isn't to your liking, but guys are you really harping on the grass, this is sooo crazy, i'm sorry but man, the grass? wow

Why would any spend $60 on a horrible watered down 360 version of the game? when for $50 you can buy the crispier, sharper and much more detailed version of the game on PC.

It is obviously fake, there is no way 360 has all that grass and PS3 has none, that would be the most huge difference in a game ever, it is just not true

Grass adds vertices and much bigger bandwidth is necessary thus ps3 version looking the way it looks.

I wouldn't mind the game doesn't have lovable grass. But no grass is plain stupid. I wouldn't want to miss the extra free missions for just some minor things like this though.

But the maintenance man did cut the grass though lol.

its not just the grass. if you watched the comparison video on the other thread you would have seen that the ps3 is washed out and has less detail in everything. from the tiles on the wall to the grass out side.

Note to Sony : Exclusive DLC is all well and good.But when PS3 mutiplats are still noticeably inferior 4 years on,AND you expect your customers to pay the same amount as 360 owners for said inferior product,well thats just lame.

i have to laugh at the DC in this thread, 'it's only a slight difference' really? seriously? the whole ******* lawn is missing, in nearly all multiplats the differences are hardly noticable, but this iw worse than RDR, seems to me the Ps3 version needs all the exclusive DLC it can get just to make this game on par with the 360 version, this has got to be the hugest difference seen in a multiplat since bayonetta,lol

The ps3 version iw not that bad.I think it iw still as good as the 360 despite some problem.But it iw what it iw.
