Another ps3 multiplat title bites the dust: 360/ps3 Mafia 2 demo comparison pics

[QUOTE="FIipMode"]Oh god no, less grass, whatever will I do :roll: PS3 really fails on this one. And the over exaggeration on superior multiplats continue.blue_hazy_basic

Getting PS3 version for exclusive DLC.mystervj

It all make sense now. Give PS3 owners dlc to make up for lackluster graphics and poor performance and framerates.

Oh god no, less grass, whatever will I do :roll: PS3 really fails on this one. And the over exaggeration on superior multiplats continue.FIipMode

Its not that Overexagerrated. Theyre still better on 360 9 times out of 10.

i can't believe i'm still hearing ps3 fanboys say "but there's hardly any difference". wow, lol.

the ps3 - it only does everything. except grass :lol:

[QUOTE="Vinegar_Strokes"][QUOTE="FlamesOfGrey"] I'm a video game collector. Certain people here know that.Zero_epyon

sucks that the ps3 gets yet another half-baked version of a multiplat

I just downloaded the demo for the PS3 and other then the grass I cant see a difference at all

And who cares about grass any way?

It doesn't do grass? I thought the ps3 was meant to do everything?

There's hardly any difference and the PS3 version has exclusive missions

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.

So... you value shaggy grass over game content? :roll:

I'd agree that the PS3 version - provided these demo version represent the final products - has some graphical deficiencies (though the color seems better), but if I were in any way interested in the game to begin with I think I'd want the content most of all. Better grass isn't gonna be what keeps me playing 20 hours in.

Shame though. This far into the generation and with mountains of evidence to show these kinds of things aren't necessary. Just sloppy work.

in the real world, gamers would pick up the better version of the game. not everything revolves around this forum you know.

In the real world 80%-90% of the people won't know which version in technically better and will go with whatever system they play most on. I never hear people talking about which version has more grass or better textures because they don't care. Forums are the only place I personally see that so, yeah.

Don't worry PS3 owners. Future Grass DLC in the works only for low price of 4.99. LOL...i kid.

[QUOTE="T-razor1"]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:delta3074

Really because from what i see easy on those 2 last pics,that they are not standing on in the exact same place,just look a the pole on both version and see where they are exactly standing,probably on the PS3 version which show the character stading a little more to the left than on the 360 version,could be hiding the flowers from view on the screen.

Either way a few flowers and stuff ins't really a reason to downplay the version,since minor stuff like that would not alter gameplay,now requiering to pay $50 dollars for live to play online is a much bigger problem for any 360 multiplatform,and you people just seem to don't be affected by it.

You know how many PS2 and xbox multiplatform games where rated iqual no matter the difference in graphics.?

Once again lets not talk about minor things like grass,and talk about the bigger ones like gold subscribtion require to play online,which is something every mutiplatform game require on 360 while on PS3 they not,i mean just out of the gate the PS3 version has far bigger replay value,which is a great difference and not minor like grass.

exactly. When the difference is this big, most reviews will certainly point out the many inferiorities of the PS3 version.

The whole 'who cared about teh grass anyway' and 'nobody cares in the real world' is just a defense mechanism that revolves solely around self-reassurance.

Sounds like a fanboy war so far. But the pc version will still be better.

I'm not buying either versions, don't care for the game so there goes your whole theory. It's a big deal to people here, sure. Other than that, not so much.

Because is not just about Mafia is about every mutiplatform game that comes to 360 and PS3 and is free to play online,while on 360 is not,yet 360 owners downplay the PS3 version for some minor stuff than actually don't affect gameplay,but ignore live $50 which on PSN are not require and add out of the gate much more replay value.

Dam kids moed the lawn in the PS3 version.

dude, xbl isn't $50 per game :lol:

I love the Sony Damage Control in here, when a multiplat doesn't look as good as its 360 counterpart, its always "the gameplay is more important than the graphics" but when they try and say PS3 us better becasue of a couple of exclusives that look better they throw that mentality out the window. Double standards on both ends of the table. This is just so amusing.AiurProtoss

Yeah because the graphics difference in that game is as big as the difference bewteen Killzone 2 and Halo 3.

Better yet live completely ignore $50 a year which every single mutiplatform and not multiplatform game requieres that PSN doesn't.

Eltormo

Wasn't DonalBane (who you quoted) specifically talking about Mafia II receiving lower reviews on PS3? So what would be the relevance to your point?

The DLC just seems to be some form of "arcade" take on Mafia II, using leaderboards and such, so nothing relative to the main story. No doubt it will attract some people, but it's not exactly groundbreaking DLC.

Either way $50 a year isn't a lot of money, so I dunno why people keep complaining about it.

No is $50 a year i know that,but a non live owner looking to buy a RDR copy on 360 because it look better than on PS3,would soon find out that the 360 version needs another invertion to fully use the game while the PS3 version doesn't,ignoring that is quite sad,even trying to say that the PS3 version and 360 version had the same replay value or close is even more sad,is not true and we all know it to matain that iguality you need to put down $50 a year.

If some people actually think it wil score lower cause of some missing grass and its the worse version cause of missing grass need to take a long hard look at themsevles in the mirrior.

Those are terrible pics, when I played the demo on ps3 it looked better than all those pics.
