chalk up another multiplat for the 360

http://ps3.gamezone.com/gzreviews/r32624.htm

Graphically, Assault on Dark Athena looks pretty good, but not as great as it could have been. The original title took excellent advantage of the Xbox's hardware, offering some visuals that were amazing for 2004. Unfortunately, while the game isn't ugly by any means and features a pretty competent HD look, it's lost some luster in the 5 years since it's released and doesn't really compete with the likes of Gears of War or Killzone 2. The PS3 version also suffers from a few graphical bugs here and there, including clipping and disappearing characters, and generally lacks the polish of its Xbox 360 counterpart.

One of reasons to own a 360...multi's are always better

Is it worth buying a 360 for? Hell no.

I wanna play Resistance 2, Ratchet and Clank ToD, MGS4, Uncharted, Little Big Planet, and Killzone 2.

Exclusives are and always will be, what define a system.

So what? PS3's version of Alone In The Dark blows the 360 version outta the water!

Worth buying a 360 for if you already own a PS3? Nah.

But if you're in the market for one of the two consoles, my recommendation would still go to the 360.

I think there are games out there than the difference is hard to see, such as Dead Space.

the last riddick was awesome hope this one isnt a dissapointment

It seems like multiplat titles are the 360's exclusives. Lol.

TC,what exactly do you mean multis are always better ? Have you forgotten Oblivion and GTA IV ? If they both are one of the most demanding games out there,how exactly can PS3 run and make them look better ? Your theory is weak.

It all depends on the devs.

lol, agreed. crap game is a crap game. even though crap A is better than crap B, crap A is still crap.

ps3 version might be an early build?

in the entire article he bashed the game for not being good as the first and you worry which system is going to get a better massive flop?

As allways :P

The MS Defense Force! Striking with their "brilliantly superior multiplats of dooooom" Honestly, is this -really- the reason you guys own a 360? For minuscule improvements over other versions of the game?jonnyt61

[QUOTE="ZoomZoom2490"]

[QUOTE="The_Game21x"] Oblivion is better on the PS3 because it had an extra year of development time but GTA IV? That game doesn't run better on the PS3. The PS3 version is technically worse than the 360 version due to the lowered resolution, lack of AA and the generally lower framerate.

Nice!:D

GS needs to consider an ownage timeout. If owned twice in a 24 hour period, a user's account should be locked for at least 6 hours so that he/she can collect their thoughts and bury their shame.

I will be getting the PC version of Dark Athena, got underwhelmed by both the PS3 and 360 demo.
Yes the 360 demo looked clearly better but it some ways it had trouble keeping up with the PC version of Butcher Bay that I still play.

in the GS comparision the 360 version looked better

[QUOTE="bez2083"]

[QUOTE="The_Game21x"] Oblivion 9.6 (360) >>> Oblivion 9.5 (PS3) LOLOLOL. See? I can play that game too. And if you'd like to see actual proof of my GTA IV argument, I can easily go find that for you.campzor

don't forget we have great exclusives too and better mulitplats

Games built on the PS3 first will be the only ones that look better(if they're not equal) unless the multi-plat has had extra dev time (Oblivion, NGS2, Bioshock, C&C:RA3, Alone in the Dark)mmirza23

actually VF5 doesnt agree with you and that was on the PS3 first

Which is why the Gamecube won last gen and the PS3 is ibn 1st this gen, oh wait...

Just another day in SW full of 360 fanboys worrying about multiplats and the microscopic differences between the two consoles (360 and PS3). If you can play the game and the issues are so minor 90% of us don't see them, WHO CARES! There are only a handful of games that actually fit this bill and they're on both sides of the fence. I guess when you give up hope on exclusives, this is what you resort to.PoppaGamer

Please and cows didn't flood this forum with how superior Oblivian , GTA IV or Burnout Paradise were and acted like it was the greatest ever. It's funny watching cows still trying to play the exclusive card when they know nobody still wants the system...

Wow... did you read the review? I don't have even have to respond to this to show how dumb you are.

And cows that freaked over multiplats before are just a lame and guilty. That doesn't excuse the current wave of 360 fanboys and multiplat threads and posts over the past month or so.

I love the playground mentality around here. "They did it fiiiiiiiiiiirst!" :cry:
