Unsurprisinly Digital Foundry say the 360 is the superior version of DR2

"If you happen to own both HD consoles, there's no doubt which version you should be aiming for: Dead Rising 2 on Xbox 360 is technically the much better game, and the exclusive DLC is another noteworthy factor in its favour. However, if you only own a PlayStation 3, the question is really whether the technical inadequacies have any real impact on the gameplay experience."

i expect the cows will just dismiss this as a game they were never going to play away

Man, the gap between the two is mindblowingly. I'm digusted.

Jesus. It looks about the same more or less.

Wasn't it Kaz who wanted the PS3 to be hard to develop for? That was some genius right there, thanks for a generation of shoddy multiplats.Deathtransit

like i said this isnt even big news anymore, its only big news when its the other way around. Multiplats are best on the 360 because of this and xbox LIVE...

nothing new here.. im glad i have both consoles. People who have both n get PS3 version are just... well not too bright

thats the dumbest thing i have ever heard.

So their plan was to intentionally gimp the PS3 for the majority of its lifecycle to drive console buyers increasingly to a competitive platform.... whats the payoff exactly?

-company chief, Hirai, the brains behind the entire PlayStation empire, explained to the Official PlayStation Magazine in its February issue that Sony didn't want to make it easy on developers.

"We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that (developers) want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so then the question is, what do you do for the rest of the nine-and-a-half years?" explained Hirai.-

There you have it. and how hasn't it paid off? The PS3 has the most impressive exclusives this gen.

Dont forget PS3 version of UT3 is superior. AND Oblivion on PS3 is as well..AND having a bluray player, and free online thats just as good as LIVE is the icing on the cake..YUmm...I like icing..:)

:|

Bethesda released a patch that makes the 360 version of Oblivion look identical to the PS3 version.

Isn't it obvious that a capcom game will look better on the 360?They don't give a F* about their customers , unlike almighty platinum games that learned from their mistake and made Vanquish completely flawless on both systems by actually developing it for the ps3 and the developing it for the 360 , I know , doesn't it sound crazy?You are making a multiplat game and you develop it individually for each platform , wow these guys are insane! /sarcasm

I really wanted to see a huge spike in ps3 sales just to unveil these lazy greed asses.

Yea cause the graphical difference is so jaring:roll:. I mean hell even the scores are different....oh wait. Also you didint account for those who have both,but dont wanna pay for live or likes the DS3 more or has more friends on ps3 ect. Please think before using the term not to bright.

@Cadbury: Thanks for finding the link, but being last out the gate they could have easily had superior multiplats and exclusives, and developing engines and technology would have assured progression throughout the gen. Deathtransit

yes but the PS3 could have improved multiplats, and improved exclusives if they had went for more traditional architecture... so how is it a good thing they didnt?

it was an anti-Piracy measure. (notice how it hasn't been cracked until this year?)

considering they'd never be vocal directly to the community on that subject, that's a load of crap.

[QUOTE="markinthedark"]

[QUOTE="_Cadbury_"] I don't think they could have changed the hardware within a year to suit that idea. Anyway, it still has generally better exclusives, and I really don't think multiplat differences are that much of a big deal, they are always blown out of proportion. In the case of dead rising 2 if you didn't play the games side by side you would have no clue about what was different. As far as looks go they are identical imo._Cadbury_

@Cadbury: Forget DR2, do I really need to list all the noticeably worse multiplats? And let's not forget, there are ALOT of multiple system owners. And I don't care if Joe Casual doesn't notice differences, I do, and I don't want the sub HD or poor framerate version. As a cow, I'd like to get the PS3 version, but my preference for smoother running and better looking versions outweighs that.Deathtransit

again @ cadbury: Why should developers pay more and spend more time on a third place console. Developing times are already long. Should they delay all three versions?Deathtransit

[QUOTE="_Cadbury_"][QUOTE="Deathtransit"]@Cadbury: Thanks for finding the link, but being last out the gate they could have easily had superior multiplats and exclusives, and developing engines and technology would have assured progression throughout the gen. Deathtransit

Alot of the host noticeably are more around 06 07 I think. Also it depends what you define as noticeably. I count noticeably when something is at a bayonetta level. Iv bought tons of multiplats lately and havent run into that.

actually , it is a failure. Just look at the bad press whenever a poor PS3 port is released. @CadburyDeathtransit

But that's not why they did it, or what has happened as a result of it. Rather, it's more the reason why ps3 exclusives continue to improve (and have outshined the 360 for quite some time), while the 360 development has tapered off, and doesn't impress anyone anymore.

@FF94: I consider it worse at the GTA4 level, the PS3 version is flat out ugly next to the 360, and not as smooth. I don't like sub HD, and yes it's noticeable. Even when I didn't have a 360 I thought the PS3 version was ugly. This year we've had Bayonetta and Mafia 2, even RDR was sub HD.Deathtransit

Wait you talking about DR2? Umm from what iv seen your going overbord my friend. Also no to RDR. I can barely tell the difference between RDR on ps3 and 360 besides the grass thing. Again if this issues were as big as you are making them out to be the score and review would reflect most of that. Since it was done for games like bayonetta. This is a fine example of people blowing up small things.

Cow logic :D

Were the Cows saying this when the Saturn was released? "its not Sega's fault, must be lazy devs!!!!!!111111111"

From the very same DF analysis:

it is very difficult to avoid criticising the developer for not giving the PS3 version of Dead Rising 2 the same sort of love that the 360 game clearly received.

So according to your line of thinking, DF is a Sony Fanboy for calling out the devs for a poor port. :roll:

Yeah, I just saw this and it seems the 360 version has slightly more graphical bells and whistles. The difference is negligible IMO, while playing. The worst thing about it is the mandatory install, compared to the 360. I would get the 360 version were it not for the online co-op (not playing for XBL Gold).
