Bioshock PS3 demo - major downgrade...

...compared to the x360 version, or is it just me? I remember the x360 version framerate being rock solid, this is just all over the place.

also i remeber the 360 version having some jittery framerateblazinpuertoroc

:? If anything, I think this version has a slightly higher framerate. Even then, the two games are almost identical.

The only thing the PS3 version is missing is the "unlock framerate" option.

But the visuals aren't without flaw--the game has an annoying seizure problem that almost looks like a correctable bug. On some consoles, the game hitches up and totally freezes for anywhere from one to five seconds at a time, then proceeds as if nothing happened. It doesn't seem to be tied to any particularly noteworthy parts of the game, and it happened only after playing the game for hours; but once it started, it didn't stop happening--even after we began an all-new game--and it can freeze up two or three times a minute. It's not the end of the world, but it's extremely frustrating and one of the few knocks this game has against it.

I noticed a bit of texture pop in when i played on the 360, along with the game giltching up on me to where i had to restart it when i was about to go get andrew ryan (frame rate dropped really low then it froze), but other than that the game ran fine

BioShock was the only UE3 game that didn't have texture pop-in for me.

i never downloaded the update so that may be it

That's pretty telling, right there.

This was a problem with their 360 if I remember correctly. When the review came out and this was posted lots of people said they never had this problem (Me included).

The second time I played through the game I had the hitching problem in the beginning level. However, the patch fixed it and the thing runs fine for me.

Also, with the unlock framerate thing, has anyone done that. What are the cons of doing it?

Well, I did have issues, and had the game crash on me twice(360). It didn't stutter much, but it did stutter. I haven't bothered to even check the PS3 version, as I have it for PC now.

Either way I only got to play the demo for a few moments and WOW I havent played the 360 version in a while but I noticed a big downgrade. I dont remeber the 360 version looking as blurry, or TONS of jaggies and even dull textures. Maybe the 360 also had the same problems, i dont remeber but Im very dissapointmented. It is VERY noticeable

My neighbor brought over his PS3 and we played the demo and the 360 game side-by-side. The 360 textures definiately had more detail to them and the PS3's framerate would get jittery during fights. The 360 would slow down but not like the PS3.

Verdict: I guess the PS3 just doesn't have teh hidden powarz

Wow, a verdict from Willie Beamish, that's going to get all over the netz.

The Demo just popped up a few hours ago, Your story sounds like complete Bull.

Oh, and my neighbor is a PS3 fanboy. He tried to say that even though the 360 version looked better, the PS3 version was going to be better because of the DLC.. I told him if the game get this unplayable with the framerate, the DLC is only prolonging the agony.. lol.. He laughed.. was kind of bummed because he's always swearing that the PS3 games look better. I finally put that argument to rest for him.

How long does it take people to catch on

Stuttering is a HDD caching issue and has been solved SINCE

Just finished playing it. No framerate drops and looks exactly like the 360 version, TC is lying/misinformed.ChrnoTrigger

You are telling me that theres no framerate drop after you get off the sub and fight the guy thats up the stairs? I just watched it on my neighbors PS3 and the framerate dips like its wheezing. I can't tell if you're flat-out lying or if you don't know what a framerate drop looks like, but it definitely does NOT look as good as the 360. You can expect comparison videos to be put up online any day now and we'll see your credibility sink.

It was fine for me.. maybe i'll replay it and reiterate.

xbox 360 better textures in some places, ps3 better lighting in some places. Less Popin textures on ps3, framerate about the same, in the end both look about the same.

Okay, replayed it. You're obviously BSing because it ran fine..
