Are PS3 multiplats really inferior?

A few days ago I was helping my friend decide what system to get (he plays on PC but also wants a console) and I told him that he should get the one that has the exclusives he wants the most. I didn't mention anything about mulitplats as I can't honeslty for the life of me tell the difference in 90% of them, even in the so called "bad" cases like red dead redemption, black ops ect... Same goes for in cases when the PS3 version is supposedly "superior" like Dragon Age, or LA Noir ect... I can't really tell if one's "inferior" or not. I'm being COMPLETELY serious here, I can't .

But I hear alot of people talk about how the PS3 versions are practically train wrecks and that the 360 is the system to get for multiplats and that only a fool would buy a PS3 multiplat (their words, not mine). The quesion is, did I give my friend the right advice? I told him other stuff like which controller he prefers, the diffferences between the online services and the pro's and cons of each network ect... But I didn't mention multiplats at all because the issue didn't even cross my mind at the time, I just never really considered it an issue.

But I would feel bad if my friend ends up with a multiplat exprience that he is dissapointed with. I don't know if he can see if a difference or not, just because I can't doens't mean everyone elsecan't does it? He doesn't go to stupid sites like Lens of Truth or anything like that (neither do I) nor has he ever cared to.

I guess I'm just feeling a little worried about my advice, any help? Did I give him the right info or did I screw him over?

It depends on the game.

FFXIII is better on PS3

But by "better" I don't understand. Because I honestly can't tell if one is "better" than the other like people are saying. Hell like alot of people say Red Dead Redemption is "better" on 360, but your saying it's "better" on PS3. Which makes me wonder if I'm not the only person who can't really tell a difference between them.

So in what way are they "better"?

yes they are

Didn't you say he games on a PC? He should probably buy the Multi-Plats on there. :P And the Multiplats on 360 and PS3 version are usually just fine, I don't think most people care about minor things like extra leaves or Small Framerate drops. :PMr_Caboose007

lol well there are some multiplats he wants to try out that arn't on PC like Mortal Kombat ect... Also he wants to play some of them on consoles too for some strange reason, I don't understand him sometimes.

Rarely. It use to be a big difference back at the start. Now its barely notcible things.

Usually the slight edge of a multiplat is on the 360 version but 9/10 its not big enough to notice

From what I gather from what developers say it tends to be far easier to develop on the 360 then the ps3

But I can't see any of it. I can't honestly tell if a multiplat game has a higher resolution or more stable framerate than another. Am I not seeing something, I mean my eye sight isn't perfect but I just don't know... Only like Bayonetta did I see a huge difference, same thing with Splinter Cell Double Agent, I played it on 360 at a friends house and when I got on PS3 the framerate was definatley slower. But it had some more multiplayer maps than 360 did so it makes up for it.

Beyond that though I can't tell

So did I screw my friend over or did I give him the correct advice?

ShadowMoses900

Technically? Yes. Noticeably? No. (in 99% of cases)

I wonder the same thing, I see alot of people talk about it being the "inferior" version on PS3. But like I said, for the LIFE of me I cannot tell what they are talking about.

Generally, 360 multiplats are technically superior to PS3 multiplats, but it's not set in stone.

Depends on the game. Plenty of games have been "better" on ps3. The differences are usually minor, and the only reason we know about them is because there are websites dedicated to pointing the differences out to us.

It's kind of like technical aspects of games and how so many "gamers" use them as ammo to show what actually looks better. The only reason anyone knows what techniques are used in games is because developers tell them, but the games themselves don't always look any better becasue of them. Kind of like Crysis 2. All these techniques that don't result in a better looking product, but they do result in a worse perfoming product.

The differences arent noticable. But lemmings can't go bragging about exclusives now can they?

Yeah they can, they have plenty. Oh wait, let me guess, you can't brag about a game more than a year old. :roll: So then why do Cows still brag about MGS4 and Uncharted 2? :o

MGS4 Came out in 2008, Gears 2 came out in 2008. Both are brag worthy (Though both are terrible imo)

Uncharted 2 came out in 2009, Forza 3 came out in 2009. Both are brag worthy (and both are fantastic)
