Chance that Treyarch didnt take the time to make Black ops on PS3 as good?

Maybe this is just me being paranoid, but MS is obviously heavily involved in this game and in bed with it marketing wise. Could this mean that since the game is so heavily tied to 360 as a result, Treyarch is going to make the effort to make it atleast on par for PS3 from a graphics or performance standpoint? im asking because I would like to know which version to gun for my rental. (note, dont care about online.).

I mean, it would seem odd for a company to do this just because theyre getting money from another to promote the game, but its something you gotta think about. im not saying MS is paying them to shirk the PS3 version, but I am saying maybe they wont feel compelled to optimize to make the PS3 version on par with the 360 because they figure they are going to sell alot more on 360.

Yes, that is extremely paranoid. Gimping one version for the other to sell not only doesn't affect the dev (a sale is a sale), but it is incredibly stupid even to suggest that a dev would do that. Exclusive DLC is as far as it goes.

I share your concern. I fell that this happened for MW2. MW1 was pretty on par when SP was concerned. Yet MW2 was such a drastic difference. How could that be if they had a team with PS3 experience?

With this coming after Halo reach I don't think MS will support it and pay for advertising it :P.

PS3 MW2 sold 8.6 mil, why would they piss off their fanbase.

MS relies heavily on COD though, its like an exclusive to them.

CoD4 was probably the closest I've ever seen the two consoles as far as multiplats. However MW2 wasn't even close as the 360 version was a fair bit better, I would say at the very best they are close to the same like CoD4 but it will probably look slightly better on the 360.

The CoD games don't even have any differences between the two versions, same with GTA IV. Obviously you have the cases with games like Bayonetta on PS3 or Dragon Age on 360 where it is noticeably worse then its counterpart, but with CoD there is no differences whatsoever between the two. Same exact game people, so stop with this paranoia BS.

I have MW2 for both systems , the graphics are identical , if anything the xbox has one disadvantage that I cant stand , you cant mute everyone all the time from the settings . You have to do it each game , I cant stand listening to other players yell and sing .

i guess that could be a reason and normally the difference is pretty slim but this being sw i have to ask was ms in bed with the devs on the other 90% of the multiplats that didn't turn out as well as the 360 version?

MP is the same yes. I was referring to the Single player. Where the graphics came washed out and brighter by default on the PS3 and the PS3 version suffered from framrate and had lackluster lighting effects.

MW2 is developed by a different studio so its irrelevant. World at war on the other hand: Handled blacks better on xbox but had sharper and more detail on textures for ps3. Thats if you buy into the various sites showing this. If thats the case I'd imagine it will be the same for Black ops

Considering how much the franchise sold on PS3 it wld be stupid not to make sure both versions are of same high quality..

personally i'll get the PC version but am sure the console versions will be practically identical in terms of visuals and performance..

I doubt it the ps3 version of MW2 sold too much for them to ignore it.

Wait, will Black Ops be on PS3 too? :o:P

Seriously, the last Treyarch CoD game was very similar in both consoles and Black Ops uses the same engine so i see no reason for worries.
