Vanquish - No difference on PS3/360

When it comes to multiplatform games, one concern that's often the subject of discussion is that one version looks better than another. For Vanquish, Platinum Games promises that you won't notice any difference between the game's PS3 and Xbox 360 versions.

Posting at Platinum Games' blog, system programmer Hideaki Nakata shared how he went about development for the game:

For the engine powering Vanquish, I tried focusing on all-out quantity. Shinji Mikami, the director of Vanquish, made a number of requests. "I want the game to look unlike anything else out there! I want our battlefields to have the overwhelming feeling of a real battle." I realized the only way we are going to pull this off is with "quantity." More and more enemies are going to have to keep appearing, more and more bullets are going to have to fill the air, bigger and bigger explosions are going to have to ring out… We would need an engine that could pull that off while still keeping the characters and backgrounds rich in detail.

Vanquish's engine is based on work from Bayonetta, but Platinum still made it a point to add several changes to the existing technology to better suit the new game. The PS3 plays lead platform in this cycle, but Xbox 360 owners won't be missing out on anything. "Even the developers on the Vanquish team have a hard time telling the two versions apart at a glance… So no matter which console you have, you have nothing to worry about!" Nakata said.

:[ No SW's fun will be had with this one. Anyways, it sounds like the game it's going to be ridiculous with the amount going on. :] I look forward to seeing it all in motion.

If i had a PS3 i would still ge it for my 360 due to prefeence for the 30 controller, but since I don't have a PS3 i guess it really doesn't mater. The game looks amazing. Hopefully this one will actually have a coherent story unlike Bayoneta but if it plays amazing, and has that same beast to it, ima buy that ****

Makes a nice change. Should stop the pixel counting squabbling for at least one game. :PNinja-Hippo

Which ever sells more would be my guess.

Good now lets hope the multiplayer is fun too.

What is this... a multiplat being equal in MY System Wars?! Nevar!

PS3 version will run at ONE FPS slower than the 360 version. Mark my words!

I still foresee graphics comparisons in the future but this is good news.

Could be, but I doubt they'll be identical.

I'm glad it's multiplat. The more people who experience the greatness of this game, the better. I'm getting it for PS3, btw.

Lol! Yeah... about that...

That's waht they said. I'm pretty sure cows/lems will find some insignificant loophole to bicker over! ; DDystopian-X

Untill a PC version comes around. Then they'll start arguing that it's not really that much better. Just some added AA and resolution :P

if they are exactly the same im probably getting the 360 version because i can scale up to 1080p. but i will probably wait and see the head to head comparison before getting the game , the version with better performance and shorter loading time is the one i will get.

None...it doesnt look interesting to me...i like TPP shooters but thise one seems to be kinda arcadish.

Arcadish how? Because it doesn't move at the sluggishly slow pace of most other games?

Probably going to base my purchase on how the demos play. I hope theyre identical.

wait..its coming to PC?

rockstar said both the PS3 and 360 versions of red dead were going to be identical prior to release.... didnt quite pan out though.

and the fact that this guy said there arent "noticeable" differences almost guarantees there are differences. No dev will ever come out and say one version sucks prior to launch... maybe after launch they will admit shortcomings... but they arent gonna screw over their sales by giving any sort of advanced notice.

but to be perfectly honest unless comparing screen shots, i can rarely notice the difference between multiplats myself.

wait..its coming to PC?

I'm getting it for 360 because I don't own a Ps3.

Glad its going to be just as good on all platforms, though.

I think PS3 being the lead platform is the better way to go, since it is the harder one to develop for. People have expressed their distain for playing poor PS3 ports, and it shows in sales.

WTH!!!??? Now fanboys probably wont bicker about which version has teh awesome textures,sound,frames per second,etc...:evil:

Good to hear, i will be playing it on PS3 regardless.djsifer01

Im srue theyre right, but honestly, platinum dosent really have credibility when it comes to this matter. We need to see it for ourselves.

Do not want, but there's supposed to be a demo coming out next week, so I'll try it out. Really doesn't look like a game I could get into though.

Why wouldn't they have credibility? They've never lied about this before have they? And they didn't port Bayonetta, Sega did.
