^ Topic. I just wanted to get everybody's opinion on it. Ive seen the trailers and its looking real good right now. Probably gonna be one of the best looking FPS to come out this year. But Im still debating if I should get it on the XB360 or PS3? Now I like to play all FPS and games that are good online on my XB360 and I play my JRPG and fighting games and exclusives on my PS3. I like the analog placement better on the 360 and also the analog nub is not " mushroom shape " so its actually more confortable for me. But I guess I play Resistance fine. :p But I've tried COD 4 on PS3 and I like it better on 360. Ok. My question is. Which version would you guys get and which would you think look better on? Im thinking it may look pretty similar. I guess I can say if a game came out for both systems same day I would get it on 360. I'll only get a PS3 game if it takes advantage of it. *sign* Cant make up my mind. But maybe you guys here in system wars can help me make up my mind.

If you must choose the console variant of Far Cry 2, I'd suggest the 360 version, as the DS3 is not very suitable for shooters. To me at least.

I'm going to be getting the PC version but if I had to choose between the concole versions, I'd get it for the PS3. I prefer the controler and chances are it will have less texture popins and other graphical problems due to a better processor and install.

Depends on where your friends are.

Although I also heavily recommend the PC version.

They are basically the same game so go with the 360 version because it has a better controller for FPS' and it will have achievements. There are no trophies for this game.

360. Achievements + xbox live would make it better. I've also heard the PS3 version is technically inferior,but I can't confirm that.

That's funny because Gamespot just had a hands on on the game and the developers said the PS3 version has better AA. Just do any many miny mo and choose one topic creater.

The developer says that the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC versions have been developed from the same core build, so they'll all share the same features. While we didn't see the PS3 version, it's claimed that the aliasing on Sony's machine outperforms that of the 360, while on the PC it's all dependent on the specifications of your machine.

I'd wait until the reviews are up, so you get a good comparison between the two.

Getting it for PS3 as I don't pay for LIVE, and I started to get used to the DS3 for FPS to the point where the 360 controller feels awkward now. :P

It would be best to wait to see which one ends up performing better since most PS3/360 multiplats end up being finicky-close in terms of performance. You should only choose the console version if the PC version is completely out of the question.

For that kind of games is obvious that the pc version will be best..but since you ask for consoles u should get the one with better framerates which is the most important thing with open world games..and the xbox360 seems to be the one with higher framerates judging by the videos of both versions side by side.

If you prefer cod 4 on 360, then you'll probably enjoy farcry 2 more on the 360. And since you like the 360 controller better I would recommend the 360 version.

Haven't they been demoing it mostly on 360? That would imply to me that it's the version they've put most effort into. I doubt there will be much difference between them tho.

I say 360 for its controller and achievements.

Everything about the game should be identical on both consoles though.

Well the developer told them too''

''we're told, but Far Cry 2 will happily get the most out of even the most monstrous rig. Redding describes the console versions as comparable to a "medium load-out on PC", and warns us that, "graphically you're going to notice slight differences". Which we did. The Xbox 360 was the better of the two with its anti-aliasing, but both looked unspectacular and even drab in points. Far from ugly, mind you.

and they got to see both versions,unlike gamespot.

Still..they saw both versions running next to each other..and aliasing isnt a big issue,the videos where they've show the consoles version running side by side the ps3 version has frame problems which = crap version,frame rates are more important than aliasing which u dont notice at all, i play crysis without AA n looks great.

PS3 version should go 25+ FPS, while X360 version will go 30+ FPS , a developer said in spanish forum.

It's hard to trust i know, plus i haven't posted too much on this forum, but well, just wait till reviews, or ask any person that works in the game (in the case you know any).

I'd post the source, but im not sure you guys know spanish, if you do, tell me and i'll put it.

I'd get the PS3 version. It will probably have an install to help it run smoother. And in the unlikely event that you decide to stop paying for live, you wont have a game with no online component.

As others have said, If no PC, Id say its up to your gameplay style, Xbox has the better online stuff, While if you are just a casual that perhaps doesnt care much about multiplayer, I'd say grab it for the ps3, gonna look mighty pretty on it.

Ifyou want achviments and stuff then go to 360, but if you want free online then go PS3, but if you want fun go PC
