But does it run better? some PS3 multiplats look better on the PS3; better textures, load times, draw distance, but may not run as smooth like FFXIII, dragon's age

Played it last year.

Given the choice to play the game early, ot play it a year later, looking slightly (Ever so slightly) better, i'd pick playing it early.

It looks better than the PC version. PC version is the same as the 360 version, with AF, while this has better textures and stuff.

textures look slightly sharper in the ps3 version it seems. It may look s bit cleaner and sharper ...Or it could be they both have different lighting settings. It'll look and run more or less the same on both platforms. I'm sure good old lens of truth has us covered. ...Now that that's out of the way I can't wait to play this game :)

I think he means before the mods came in and spruced up ME 2 for the pc.

since the 360 and pc versions looked identical on the pc and 360, save for higher res and AA.

If that's what he's thinking then he's right.

Why would i be joking, it's true. The PC and the 360 version are damn right identical. They might as well be comparing the PC version in that video.

Doesn't look as good as the PC version. Just started on ME2 again the other day. Doesn't surprise me though that the PS3 version would look better than the 360 since it's going to be more than a year apart.

They released a patch to increase the visuals of RE4 on the PC and fans when another step further.

If you don't believe me then check out the video I recorded of RE4 on the PC

There is no AA option in ME2, and AF doesn't change much. I would rather take the better textures and lightning, instead of the extra resolution.

I doubt they are silly enough to claim the PS3 is out performing PC, everyone knows PC has the superior resolution and quality filters.

But the PC version was a none-enhanced 360 port, so PC inherited 360s graphical limitations.

360 version probably ate more than 256mb of its unified memory as ram, leaving less for textures and such. Since PS3 has faster ram it can swap out information more and probably made it fit in 256mb, and it has 256mb dedicated as Vram.

So I wouldn't be surprised if PS3 did get slight richer looking textures than the 360 version, problem is that's the version we got.

There is no AA option in ME2, and AF doesn't change much. I would rather take the better textures and lightning, instead of the extra resolution.GeneralShowzer

I would say the PS3 version looks more colorful. We only saw a short comparison of Jacob's face but going by that I would say the 360 version looks more dull and bland.

Watching more of the footage I can see it still has the ugly contrast filter that makes everything way too dark.

I am glad I can get rid of that in the PC version.

I would say the PS3 version is pretty close to the vanilla PC version (not counting modified config) minus the AA and AF and higher res.

You concluded this as fact from a video? That you probably watched in like 320p?

I know what you're saying man, the core graphics may look better on the ps3, (if there are indeed no mods), but then you have 1080p and higher resoultions. So the pc version still looks better.

Honestly? That comparison shot? People are seriously seeing an ounce of improvement over it?

Solution:

There's this option, under "options" on the PC version that's called "brightness". Usually when this is increased the dark shades in-game go away. That comparison picture is a perfect example.

How about gameplay mechanics? Like a new class, abilities maybe? Or different rewards as you level? Not the same.....thing....again...?

i like how the ps3 got exclusive content like the digital comic book
