It's official: Oblivion on PS3 owns the 360 version

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/762/762108p1.html

The PS3 version of Oblivion isn't a simple port of the game either, although players who have picked up the 360 version will be very familiar with the control scheme. For one thing, the PS3 version has been optimized to take advantage of the Cell processor and hardware that the system offers. As a result, the game runs a lot faster than the 360 build. Entering dungeons or buildings results in a load of 3-5 seconds, compared to the 7-10 seconds or longer for the 360 version of the game. Similarly, the amount of framerate drops or hitches that cropped up in the wilderness as you accessed a new area on the 360 have been substantially reduced on the PS3 version. There is a plan to completely eradicate these issues as the game nears release, as well as fixing a number of bugs that were present in the other builds. Kiss the item duplication glitch goodbye.

The visual presentation of Oblivion has also been significantly enhanced. While it was a beautiful title on the 360, far off environmental details often displayed low resolution textures. This has been fixed with new shaders dedicated to rendering the foreground cleanly with sharper details, so rocky landscapes now have craggy appearances instead of smooth, non-distinct surfaces. While there is still a fair amount of pop-in that occurs (which can't be helped due to the size of the world), the draw distance is farther than the 360 version. As a result, screens from the PS3 version should approach those from high end PCs running Oblivion, which is an impressive feat.

So, because the PS3 version has shorter load times, less slow down and more draw distance - it owns the 360 version? :|HeedleGlavin

and everyone else knows,360 version is getting a update to fix a certin thingsadam_1_basic

You mean the game I've been playing since March? :?YellowPik

So. . . IGN said the PS3 version is better when 1UP said the 360 one is superior?BK-Sleeper

So I need to throw my 360 away, get a PS3 and oblivion just becaus it loads a couple of seconds faster:|Rougehunter

you do know that there will be an update for the 360 which adds many of the new things you said, like less pop up scenery and being able to see far. also I played oblivion last year, so im not interested in it again. oh and morrowind>>>>>>>oblivionFilm-Guy

For those who read both IGN and 1UP can you tell me which has better performance? I heard the 360 version has a lot of framerate problems. Is the patch going to address that, and will ps3 version have better framerate?

Personally I would prefer the version that runs better.

100% guaranteed to come true prediction: the editors here will find some way to score it at least .2 points below the X360 version. Guaranteed.larshaun

Cool, I would say I hope that this will silence lem's claims of PS3 inferiority but alas, that'll never happen. And BTW the 360 patch will fix shader models on far-off textures but not loading times. So the PS3 version still has a leg up in some respect.espoac
