Hey everyone, i have a high end radeon 4870 x2 quad core pc, ps3, and 360. I didnt plan it that way, it just happened. The most important thing I care about is graphics. While gamespot and eurogamer did do some features about comparing among the 3, i still am having much aggravation deciding which version to buy.

So I'm starting a tentative list here of which version of a game I am led to believe GRAPHICALLY LOOKS the best (taking into consideration with PC settings on very high - to max) .

And let me just say first off...IT IS A MYTH THAT A MULTIPLATFORM GAME WILL ALWAYS LOOK THE BEST AT MAX SETTINGS ON A HIGH END PC. (examples where the pc versions are ATROCIOUS include NHL09, Resident evil 4, Halo 2).

360: 1) MK vs DC (much crisper on the 360, and the PS3 has 'missing' eye candy),

2) Saints Row 2 (sucks on ps3 and the pc is even worse?? Can someone please confirm that there are no pc enhancements at all to SR2).

PC:1)Fallout 3*2) Far Cry 2* 3)Devil May Cry 4*4) GRID* 5) Mass Effect* 6)Bioshock*
7)Gear of War 1 (without a doubt I am sure that GOW1 on the PC (with the screen tear fix) looks better than even GOW 2 on 360.

*(clearly demonstrated to be graphically a lot better on PC)

PS3:1)Soulcalibur IV (sharper floors and backgrounds on PS3, character models are identical),
2) NHL 09 (just look at the end of this high def video EA sports side-by-side comparison (it begins with brett favre's mug and is in the middle of the webpage),

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/xbox-360-vs-ps3-face-off-round-14-article?page=6

run it FULL SCREEN, and u can tell that the textures on the players' jerseys, their facial features/hair/shadows, and team logos/fonts are so much crisper on the ps3 version. PAUSE the video at like the 2:30 mark and look at the side by side shot of Kings player who wears number 35, if u look at his jersey cloth over his left lower back area and shoulder logo and shin gaurds texture, u can actually be shocked that the PS3 has a more detailed look vs 360.

even more obvious, pause at 2:47 mark and look at the side by side profile of Arnott, the 360 "smears and blurs" the helmet and jersey logo.

But what I want to know is if PURE is exactly the same between all 3, also is Left 4 Dead better looking on pc than 360, and I know DiRT is better on ps3 than 360…but is DiRT better on PC than PS3? please feel free to add or contest to this neurotic list.

No Pics, No Go. System War Graphical Comparisons are based upon *56k*'s. Text only angers us.

Go PC. The only reason it'd look worse, especially on a rig like that, is if the developers don't know how to optimize or code properly. That's a rare instance generally with games that aren't worth playing anyway (straight up console ports from sub-par devs like Ubisoft are also a main culprit). On PC for every game that the developers took more than a few seconds to create games will look better and run better than their console counterparts. Plus, there's always graphical mods (Fallout 3, Oblivion, Crysis, STALKER, etc. have many great ones) that make the game look like it had come out a year or more later.

On the PC you can add AF and AA + you can crank up the res, which does a very decent job of improving graphics, then you can tweak colors, vibrance ect to you liking. Then PC games/ports tend to look sharper and crisper than console games/versions.

TC, you mentioned Soul Calibur which isn't on the PC... So that game would be omitted in your final results, unless you are going for just 360/PS3 comparison.. Also Sports games don't have as big of followings on the PC, so they don't upgrade the games to match with the console counterparts usually. Everything else is better if it's multiplatform on all systems.
