Let's be honest, does anyone REALLY care about 360/PS3 multiplat "differenc

Honestly I don't and I can't imagine that anyone really does either, I was in a thread a while back and there were some people posting stupid comparison pictures that barely had any diiference in them. I don't remember the game that was being discussed but people were making a big deal about things that I honestly couldn't see, like an extra shadow in the corner of the room or an invisble leaf on a tree or something like that.

I tired REALLY hard and the only thing I noticed was that the time of day was different in the game and the guy had a VERY small piece of lighting on one version that the other did not, and I ONLY noticed that after staring at the picures REALLY hard for about 5 minutes, otherwise I wouldn't have seen ANYTHING.

What I'm trying to say is that I seriously doubt that people care about these insignificant differences as much as SOME people claim they do, and I also doubt that they even notice them in the first place without going to those stupidfanboy comparison sites. Does having a small piecee of grass missing from your version REALLY bother you? Does having an invisble frame rate difference even matter? Will these things even be noticed when your playing the game? I doubt it.

They're the SAME game and I don't think ANYONE who is thinking about buying a 360 or PS3 is going to base their decision on whether or not there isa 2% grass difference in the game. Bottom line: I don't think anyone outside SW cares about these insignificant differences and pointing them out is just a waste of time because no one even cares or noitces them in the first place.

There are a few cases where one version is better than the other by a noticeable amount (Dragon Age, Fallout 3, Bayonetta), but the difference is usually minimal. If those people actually cared about the differences between systems, I'm sure most would just choose a PC. What it boils down to is controllers, really, and their personal preference. The differences between the two consoles are usually laughably small.

I couldn't care less about minimal differences.

Out of those three games that I bolded, Bayonetta is the only one that I would call the inferior version. Dragon Age has a couple extra small textures and shadows which don't matter, and Fallout 3 was indeed inferior at launch but it got patched and works fine now. I know because I used to have the 360 fallout 3 before I got it on PS3 and the ONLY difference I notice on the PS3 is that some textures pop up a little faster and slightly more jaggies in the distance, everything else is the same.

some games look better on 360 , some look better on ps3. but in the end it looks the same, its the same game.

i LOL'd when someone posted a pic of a game and the only difference in the pic was that the 360 version had an extra garbage can all the way in the back out of focus. LOLz

It's cool man, your opinion (just like mine) are protected under the 1st amendment. There's no hate.

lens of truth makes a living off of it...so somone needs to make themselves feel better about there console choice

Who the hell buy's console multiplats? Save yourself 10 bucks most of the time by getting pc version and better graphics.WORDTOYOFACE

and here we go

If the difference is significant, then yes.

I only have a PS3, but the patches don't excuse the vanilla product. Many buy games at launch so that would be a potential problem. My PS3 version at least crashed a ton and had some awful draw distance and jags that were more apparent than on the 360. And I'm not a fan of how DA:O looks on the 360, looks even worse than the PS3 version (looks were not DA:O's strong point).

Because lots of console multiplats aren't available on PC? :o Shocking I know.

Game like Battlefield 3 I will get on PC starting in the fall (when I replace my laptop). But for Dark Souls,Final Fantasy XIII-2, Dragon's Dogma,Cursed Crusade,NCAA 12,El Shaddai, Shadows of the Damned, etc there's nowhere to go but consoles. Obviously PC has it's own exclusives by indy developers, Valve, and Blizzard. Consoles have their own 1st party exclusives. But there's been more and more 3rd party "multiplats" that are also only available on consoles.

don't really care, i own a ps3 and 360 and i buy all my muliplats for my ps3, don't care if a shadow in the 360 version looks crisp or a pipe in the ground has better textures.

Well I didn't have the PS3 fallout 3 version at launch so I don't know, I just know now it's fine. And I don't see any significant difference between Dragon Age on 360 or PS3, infact I think Gamespot was the ONLY review site to claim it was superior. I don't care because as I said I don't see it in the first place so it doesn't matter.

Does anyone care about the graphical differences between a 360 exclusive and a PS3 exclusive? The difference is just as insignificant, but to some it means a lot, just like multiplat graphics.

Yes people do.

Your average non system warring person even believes the 1080p propaganda along with everything else they're told.

I've litterally had to explain the concept of upscaling to people, not that I'm surprised.

Even then, it's really only a superficial difference. Basically, I completely agree with you, it's negligible at best.

Actually Dragon Age: Origins on PS3 was deemed the "superior" of the console versions by all the review sites, at least with it's textures and graphics holding up better. But the framerate was pretty terrible in my experience, the DLC especially was *almost* unplayable (it took ALL of my patience to 100% this game). Even a minimal improvement on 360 would have helped becuase it was pretty miserable on PS3. But I guess the framerate on 360 was nothing to write home either for the PS3 to still win based on it's texture qualities. This is an example in my opinion where the differences don't matter, because either way the game is way off with all kinds of technical problems... whereas all technical problems are removed on the PC version.

The game itself was amazing but this is one I really want to replay on a PC that can maintain 60+ frame easy - my understanding is even a mediocre graphics card can pretty much destroy this game, which is what made it especially annoying that they couldn't at least get the framerates REASONABLY smooth on the console versions... at least they achieved that with Dragon AGe 2, a shame the game itself did not compare to Origins.

Yeah, framerate was a big problem for the game. I still ended up loving it, but it's a game I'll be getting on the PC when the price drops (still costs a fortune here).

I always get a kick out of people making a big deal out of the mostly insignificant differences between ps3 and 360 multiplats. And then downplay much larger differences when compared to their pc counterpart.MFDOOM1983

LOL. *ALWAYS*? Weren't you one of those people always pimping X360 up until just a few months ago?

I'm with you on the most part that it's silly. But I do care when it's a game like Bayonetta or something... where it's console only and 1 version really does end up trash.

The differences are irrelevant and unnoticable on any multiplat made after 2008 save for like 3. Its all irrelevant stuff like their version of Call of Duty running at 60fps to the PS3's 58.7 FPS. A normal human being in the real world will not think twice about it or care.

Maybe in 2007 and 2008 or something it was different, but now, it is nothing more than mental masturbation for lemmings, which they will conveniently not care about all of a sudden when we put Killzone 3 next to Halo Reach.

I couldnt care less, i buy everything on my PS3 from exclusives to multiplats to digital downloads. 360 the lauaghble conosle is only for the few exclusive JRPGs it has and thats it

i thought i was the only one to notice that ;)

or the fact that exclusives were the world to people in 2007 now it's nothing:lol:

Yes, if you own both systems why in the world would you buy theinferrior version of the game, makes absolutely zero sense.

Yes, people care, regardless of what they say in this thread. We see that every time a multiplat game is released.navyguy21

I doubt they care in real life, I just think they make a big deal out of it on SW because....well....I have no idea why actually.

Like I said who cares if your game is missing a small patch of grass or small shadow in a corner, if you can't notice it without looking at a fanboy site in the first place and if the difference is THAT small, then I highly doubt they care about it.

Yes, When it launched it also had abolutely absurd loading times, including a long load even if you just hit "pause".

It got a patch allowying you to install the game. This corrected the loading times which at least made it "playable" for me. I still had fun with it on PS3.. However even with the patch, it still has worse graphics and gets very choppy at times. Also by default the camera movement is rediculously slow, if you adjust it to rotate fast then you introduce screen tearing (everyone's favorite). Whereas everything I've read says the 360 version is smooth all the way through.

A shame because this game always seemed more in the veign of what would do well on a Sony platform (a quirky Japanese game, and a hack and slash to boot). I have no idea what the actual figures are, but it's a safe assumption Sega/Platinum games threw away alot of PS3 sales once word got out about how terrible the port was. I was hoping this game would be given an ultimate version on PC (like Devil May Cry 4), but I guess Sega doesn't like money.

there are 2 kinds of posts I hate on system wars.

Help me choose, I should sell this system im new posts and Why do you do this thing posts...This is system wars it was created so all of us could go here and fight, argue and debate about games, and systems without poluting the rest of the forum...This stuff happens for a reason and it happens here for a reason making statements of it shouldn't matter, why do you do this...etc we do this because its what you do here its why we come here to do these things...so yes people here on system wars really do care about multiplat differences.

Does not make any difference to me anymore, just like the minimal differences in exclusives makes no difference to me. I usually get them on the 360 but that is mostly due to the controller and acheivements.
