I'd say it a toss up between MW2 and Black Ops. I'd lean a little towards MW2 if i had to choose. The game is in need of a new engine for sure. For example, this game should be running at 720p with better lighting on the PS3 at 50fps easy, you can tell it's not at all tuned for it when you see a game like Uncharted 2.
Lol this review is moderately interesting until you realize only one of these consoles can play all the best games of 2009 and thats PS3 (Uncharted 2 and Demon's Souls are game of the year hands down on every site). Not to mention all the cross platform hits like Dragon Age (getting better reviews on PS3), MW2, then Blu-ray movies, free online, etc. It's not even fair for 360 anymore, PS3 owns now.
@RajHoOT uhh what? The 360 barely has any 1080p games other than a few downloadable titles. Halo 3 and MW2 aren't even HD at all, they are like 640p. The 360 just upcoverts games rendered at 720p and below up to 1080p so you think they are. The PS3 doesn't bother upconverting 720p to 1080p because it looks completely identical on HDTVs because it's not being rendered natively at 1080p since 720p is a native HDTV resolution. Actually most console games this gen are 720p. Get your facts straight before you make claims.
Cool article. I'm definitely happy with the 160gig 7200rpm hard drive I popped into my 40gig PS3 model about a year ago. It's been working great and its a huge drive with a little bit of performance gains for about $50.
It funny to see all the ppl in here talk about how they have their PS3 or 360 versions running at 1080p. The game doesn't render in 1080p in consoles. It renders in 720p or less (some reports have said it runs at an abysmal 1024x600 on consoles like COD4). On the PC you can set the resolution up to 1920x1080 or even higher if you want and it looks MUCH better. Consoles unfortunately can't handle it. Don't get me wrong I love gaming on consoles but if your gonna talk BS at least make it be truthful.
PS3 and 360 look almost identical. PC looks the best of course, basically a little bit sharper and cleaner in every pic. PC wins, except for its loss of dedicated servers and custom maps. F MW2, I'm getting Bad Company 2.
In terms of best: PC > PS3 > 360. The difference is most noticeable with the ground and wall textures are much sharper on the PS3 than 360 (especially the first couple pictures), also the lighting and and color definition has PS3 on par with PC. Overall the game is still fun on all platforms but that's definitely the purchasing order. On a side note, I definitely recommend Demon's Souls too, that game is incredible.
They are nearly identical but 2 things I noticed... 1) The PS3 version seems to have better contrast and looks less washed out in some shots 2) The refs socks are different in one screenshot, the PS3 version doesn't have the black stripe, lol. I think the PS3 version looks nicer on the 1st shot on page 3 though. Overall they are almost the same though.
Oh yea, and besides most of these cool games being for consoles (actually most of them being PS3 console, man times have changed quickly) StarCraft II and Diablo III news will be exciting.
