Fallout New Vegas: 360 vs PS3 graphical comparison

Any decent comparisons yet? I saw some still captures and yet again the PS3 looks like it has been treated badly with a sub-par port. Waiting for Eurogamer to do their thing before I decide whether I will pass this one up, much like I did with Fallout 3. Developers should not get our money unless they provide us with a decent end product.

PS3 version seems to have better texture resolution, whilst 360's has higher AA. Differences in contrast are correctable by adjusting TV settings.

All in all, this game is amazing.

Lens of truth...ps3 has some higher res textures here and there while 360 has 4xAA and ps3 has none.

Slightly off-topic, but is anybody getting constant freezes in this game (console versions)? I'm running it on 360 and if it doesn't freeze on the initial load (after booting 360), it'll do it when loading after a fast travel.

Very, very annoying.

I'm on the PS3 version and it took me 3 do overs shooting the bottles with Sunny Smiles because every time I'd finish the game would freeze. It did the freezing with the fast travel a lot of Fallout 3. My advice to you is to turn off auto-save. I lost 50 hours of gameplay of Fallout 3 because the game froze while I was saving so I restarted my PS3 and got corrupted data

I just want to know what has better technical performance and if the 360 is getting physical DLC's again because i don't have XBL on my 360

I haven't decided which system to get it for! Which should I choose? (PC not applicable :P)

I'd go with the 360 version because it has an exclusive DLC and has anti aliasing. Normally I would mind but the jaggles in in the PS3 version are distracting. I was walking around in the game and couldn't figure out why there were short black sticks flying across the sky, turns out it was a power line with severe jaggles

At least it's not limited to just a few people then, as the internet seems to be buzzing with it.

Luckily, I got quite a ways through before the freezes started, but now they are plentiful, and annoying :P I'll try turning off auto-save as well, and then maybe i'll just wait for the patch, which they announced they are working on.

I hear ya, technical problems of games anger me more than anything else. I didn't now they had a patch coming out though. I might just play Vanquish until that comes out so the freezing doesn't ruin my experience with the game.

Well, they didn't specify what they were addressing, so just bugs in general, I think. Still, this is a whopping bug/glitch.

They need to get it here ASAP.

I'm glad Bethesda/Obsidian at least care enough this time around to address this problem. Fallout 3 had tons of bugs that were never fixed. That game probably made my PS3 freeze up at least 50 times

Goddamn it...of course theres massive glitches and crashes...it couldn't just come out and be ****ing awesome...

Hopefully the patch is released by Friday (the EU release date). I really don't want bugs and freezes to spoil my experience...

You don't have to be a gold member toget DLC on your 360. You just have be a silver member, have an interenet connection and a hard driveto do it.

That's pretty crazy. I got surprisingly little in the way of bugs with my PS3 version (IIRC), definately no freezing at least. They seem to be on top, which is good as I find this superior to FO3 in every way.

ps3 automatically fails. go to lens of truth and look at the 6th pict.

floating objects LOL

ps3 cant do no gravity epic fail. IT AINT SPACE xbox looks miles better.

Apart from the fact that PS3 actually has better looking textures? 360 benefits from the added AA though.

the xbox version looks noticable better everywhere else apart from the carpet pict

Look at the other pictures, better textures wont save the ps3

BIacckAce

Looks better everywhere else in terms of what? Overall look? Better textures go a long way, but the added AA of the 360 version definately helps (that's the version I have).

All in all, it's a trade-off.

Was feeling pretty good about the lack of glitches, bugs, freezes/crashes on my game (PS3) so far... until reading you guys talk about how they get worse as you go along. Oh well, keeping my fingers crossed and saving every time I think of it!

Open World ("Looking into the distance") i can tell you now from looking at that lens of truth website that the 360 Version looks a hell of a lot better.

Maybe taht excessive AA is what is making teh PS3s textures blurrier? Also, 360 has a color adn contrast advatage. Thats not easily correctable by TV, and honestly no one should have to do that.

For you're information it happens on xbox 360 also. When you enter a room sometimes object spawn a little above for a couple of second. I have the game on ps3 and at this place object wasn't floating so it happen that time and if you reload it won't happen. Crappy engine does make some crappy **** here and there on pc, on xbox 360 and on ps3 that's it. Also, i want to point that i've seen both fallout 3 on ps3 and xbox 360 and the texture was also better on ps3 like in new vegas. Higher resolution texture = better image quality. AA help reduce jaggie but doesn't provide better resolution texture. If you don't like jaggie and don't mind a little lower resolution texture take the xbox 360 version. If you want better resolution texture and effect and don't care about AA take the ps3 version. If you want the best version take the pc version. Picture are picture. In movement you won't see a lot of difference anyway and this engine is crappy so weird stuff always happens no matter what version you choose.

50% of multiplatform game look a little or a lot better on xbox 360. (Bayonnetta(alot), Call of Duty (a little)

25% of multiplatform game look a little or a lot better on ps3. (Fallout(little), Final Fantasy XIII(a lot))

25% of multiplatform game looks nearly the same. (Medal of honor, Castlevania)

PS3 exclusive games looks nearly always better than xbox 360 exclusive games.

Aww, come on boss! Go get a PC!!

Actually, in the case of games like F:NV you really should. It's probably going to take 2 official and 2 fanmade patches to sort the game out and then a mod or 2 to sweeten the pie.

I prefer the look the anti-aliasing the Xbox gives to the game. I can sacrifice some textures for better aliasing.
