Should I get the new Elder Scrolls (Skyrim) for the PS3 or 360?

PLEASE READ THIS FIRST:

I have both consoles so I am unsure. However, I have a 40" 1080p HDTV with RGB FULL, and with HD 7.1 surround sound that support DTS-MA (HD), Dolby TrueHD, and Linear PCM (LPCM 5.1 or 7.1). So I am not sure if Skyrim will output in Linear PCM but whenever I play a PS3 game it says LPCM on the audio-receiver. Please help me out here!

Go with 360 just because.

Well, I figured there was a possibility of getting Linear PCM on the PS3 version (better audio quality then) - so thats why I was leaning towards that BUT I love Xbox Live and purchasing my add-ons through Microsoft rather than Sony.

RGB Full crushes black. Turn it off.

Well, nevermind..... I'm assuming you have it on because your TV has a crappy contrast ratio.

The 360 is getting exclusive DLC. If you refuse to get the superior PC version, then the 360 is the second-to-worst choice.foxhound_fox

Wait and see which one is less broken at release.

I just checked that out and well when they say "exclusive" they mean the 360 is getting the DLC first about 30 days at least before any other console.BPfail

Is it higher than 7500:1? I had a Vizio LCD with a 4000:1 contrast ratio and the black level was horrible on Limited, so I had to use Full even though it crushed blacks.

But then I upgraded to a Philips Led with 110000:1 contrast ratio, and Limited looked way better than Full RGB. All Full RGB did on my LED was crush blacks and oversaturate colors. So I guess it just depends on the TV.

bethseda games run better in 360 idk why but somehow it does.i have both systems and comfermed this and if you want dlc for it 360 gets it like a month or 2 early

The only version shown so far is 360 one so we cant compare yet. All we know is that 360 version will look amazing :)

PC or Ps3, 360?lol

360. If you have the option, its probably not even a close choice to.

I'd get it on PS3. The multiplat difference hype has got to be the biggest exageration coming out this gen. Also if you get it for PS3 you won't have to worry about buying new batteries for your 360 controller. I also prefer getting a game on bluray over a scratch prone DVD.

As far as audio is concerned go with the PS3.kuraimen

[QUOTE="delta3074"][QUOTE="donalbane"] That actually says a great deal right there: devs tend to show off the version they favor.donalbane

Bethesda games have traditionally performed better on the 360 than the PS3 (with the exception of Oblivion, which was released a year after the 360 version). I also greatly prefer the 360's controller (my hands don't cramp up using it), so I will be getting it for that.

[QUOTE="Tikeio"]

[QUOTE="BPfail"] Does it really? I had my TV professionally calibrated and well he put it on; however he did mention like you said if you have a poor contrast ratio you're going to crush the blacks with it. I don't remember the contrast ratio, but I believe it was rather high. Its a Sony 40XBR4.BPfail

Bethesda has only shown footage of the 360 version, and it looks great, so it's a safe bet. We don't know anything about the PS3 version, so it's kinda hard to say.

The only significant difference from past Bethesda games (FO3/FONV before patched) was that the PS3 versions lacked anti-aliasing.

Oblivion on the other hand, was optimized for the PS3 by 4J studios instead of ported from the 360. And it was native 1280x720, while the 360 version ran in 1024x600. They had an entire year to optimize it for the PS3 though.

If Skyrim will be a simple 360 port like FO3/FONV, then it's likely that it will lack anti-aliasing on the PS3. I don't think there will be any other significant differences besides that.

Since my Xbox 360 has the E74 error, I'm getting Skyrim for my PS3. Hopefully there will be anti-aliasing because FONV's jaggies hurt my eyes :P

I'd go with the 360 version for two reasons: Bethesda games have a better track record on 360, and you won't have to download HUGE patches for the game.

Ps3 version of Oblivion was better, sure it came a year later but...

4J Studios developed Oblivion for PS3, not Bethesda. Too bad they won't be helping out with the PS3 version of Skyrim.

Multiplatform games are genrally better on the xbox 360. I would wait for reviews to come out to see if there are any differences between the two. You should get it on the pc though:P

[QUOTE="donalbane"][QUOTE="delta3074"]or the one furthest along in it's dev cycle, i am confident that both versions will be identical, the only difference between the 2 will be the 30 day timed DLC oon the 360 but with a game as big as skyrim i don't see timed DLC being a huge deciding factor.delta3074

Whichever version is less broken.

Also if you get it for PS3 you won't have to worry about buying new batteries for your 360 controller

Those 2 are pretty much PC screens, no one knows what others ones are PC.

You can play the Lord of the Rings soundtrack while playing with the X360 version.

Not a big deal, but it really added to my atmosphere roaming the landscape with epic music on when I was playing Oblivion on 360.

Get the iPhone version like most people are.

Oh didn't know that, so that's why the game was so good

Whichever is less broken, the one that is less broken will probably be the 360

Even if your pc can only run it in low, thaat will look much much better, run better, and have mods...there is no excusable reason to get the horrid pathetic console version.
