  • xbox 360 is better

  • The very first time I played the PS3 demo I was like WTF is this garbage? The controller doesn't the game either. Best way to play is on 360 or PC with a 360 controller.

  • on the NES stable 60fps, NES fucks xbox360\ps3!

  • My pc: 70-120+ fps

    I still like consoles too though. My current setup is 720p 15 inch LCD TV next to a monitor about the same size with my PC, Xbox 360, and NES.

  • @BenTheEpic The thing is, 70-120+ FPS looks like garbage, unless you have a monitor that supports 120 hz refresh rate, and even then, still looks like garbage.

    I can easily tell the difference with my eye between 70 and 120 fps and gives me a headache. I just cap my FPS to 30 FPS like it is on the console version.

  • @b00mYou What you say doesn't make any sense. You're saying 30 fps is better than sixty plus. That's false as hell. Sixty fps is considered real-time and for a reason. Games running at 30 or less create much more eye strain than games running at 60+ fps. Why? Because motion is less smooth at 30 which creates a lot more motion blur as the camera turns around. You get less motion blur with 60+; very little in fact, thus reducing eye strain.

  • i know m pc was damn expensive but i don't regret the purchase. i think it's great that we have these comparisons available

  • i have both console. and before buying game i always see to it that the game im buying are good in graphics. that why i always watch game comparisson in youtube. and i find out almost all game graphics are good in xbox. i just play ps3 bcz of there exclusive. but lots of my game specially old game are played in my xbox. sorry for my english.

  • i shouldnt have bought this game for the ps3 ... it has some really bad FPS-problems. should've stick with the pc-version. its just another shitty xbox-port again...

  • is it me or does ps3 lag at big explosions just for epic ness?

    BOOOOM 24FPS!

    XBOX:Boom 60-10fps? unstable.

  • a pc is worth investing in anyways, because you get blu-ray capability for $50. PLus the visuals are way better.

  • Megadrixfirez, nope. They are about the same.

  • @TheFunnyMonkeyBoy You ever played cyrsis 1? Shit forgot, too much for an xbox too handle.

  • no kidding... RE5 runs flawless on the 360 and the PS3 port has some frame dropping. it's pretty ironic cause you would think Resident Evil games would look better on the PS3 just because it used to be a Sony exclusive at first

  • my resident evil 5 on the pc runs so slow, any ideas on how to fix that

  • i find my ps3 unplayable due to the stupid frame rate drop on most games. My pc cost me 500-600 bucks and i can run Re5 on Mid settings with 60fpsand the same graphics (even slightly better) , so im really pist with how shitty the modern consoles are these days . Im gonna go back to play my ps2 :/

  • Xbox fucks PS3 any day man :)

  • @fixfluff Rofl no, te ps3 is much better in hardware, but everything depends on programming.

  • @TheFunnyMonkeyBoy (PC better FPS if you have a good computer obviously) Xbox and PS3 always 30 fps so you decide.

  • i thinks theyre the same

  • @DragonAge2k Well I can see a clear difference between 30 fps and 60 fps and I've played games at 100-200 fps but at that point I can't see a difference. I think 60 fps is plenty, 30 fps is acceptable but 60 fps is definitely preferable to 30 fps by a long way.

  • Im on like 15 fps lol,no lag,just that the buttons respond like 0.5 secs after pressing it haha.

  • And that's with everything on high.

  • its the same shit doesnt matters about fraps

  • Comment removed

  • when you see the difference on a large tv....its as plain as day. It was so noticeable for me - that i actually sold and rebought the game for the 360

  • so what if the frame rates a little bit off on the ps3.its still the same game nothing different about...

  • Xbox = constant 30fps

  • ps3 version looks better becuase i want it to lol jk. good comparison.

  • damn,the max rate for this game is only 30 fps?

  • Everyone knows that PS3 exclusive games are the best. Games ported badly from other platforms are a result of developer's ignorance. That is why I only buy PS3 exclusives.

  • PC fucks consoles.

  • well of course, but I don't want buy each 6 months a new nvidia graphic card with SLI. With consoles you won't have problems with games...

  • @NarutoUzumaki Its BETTER said that PC fucks your Money every year xD

  • @ABN5X You're not goddamn forced to update your computer. My three year old computer can play this game decently (still better than consoles), and my own personal computer I won't need to upgrade for a couple of years and runs RE5 flawlessly.

  • its weird the 360 version is a TAD bit better and re5 was supposed to be a ps3 exclusive until Microsoft bribed them..lol rich bastards

  • Disappointed in PS3 version. Those scenes in the vid aren't even graphics-intensive. In heavier areas the frame rate can drop to a crawl. Like in Uroboros Research Facility spinning elevator, most of the Savannah level, and a lot of the boss fights. Trying to get Capcom to admit this problem but so far not getting anywhere.

  • 60 frames per second? what the hell is the difference between these version of the game!!!

  • The game runs pretty ok on both consoles. Still a couple of frames more on 360, but I cant see the difference

  • Next gen consoles lol!..My old dreamcast did 60 FPS no bother!.As does my current PC. 360=RROD. PS3 = YROD.

  • @Naomi0111

    Devs fault

  • @Naomi0111 60 frames per second on 10 year old games. Impressive.

  • @Denshuu i know it is isn't it.

  • cant see the difference so it doesnt matter.

  • @switchblade129

    The difference is very easily noticeable imho

  • @switchblade129

    You cant see the differences in a flash vid but if you play the demo in both consoles you are going to see the differences easily. Anyway in the RE5 Gold Edition you are going to see more framerate issues in the "Desperate Escape" chapter. The PC version is the best it have 60fps and the sharpest textures but Gold Edition is not in PC so the best choise is the 360 version and 360 version have better textures too (see lensoftruth . com comparison)

    Regards

  • @krismagix so is the ps3 version of gold edition slower then 360 or what...cuz im beginning to think its my ps3 and not the game

  • @fordmike @fordmike

    gold edition is the same RE5 but with extras so it have the same ugly framerate issues and the pal colors in the ps3 too, and if you are going to buy the RE5 Gold Edition you are going to see much more the framerate issues in the chapter "Desperate Escape".

    Regards

  • @krismagix i already have re5 gold for both systems but the ps3 seems to have bad frame rate while the 360 is smooth as hell.

    is it the game or the ps3 system.

  • @fordmike

    Really are both, the game engine of RE5 cant run correctly in the PS3 system thats why it have framerate issues and some textures are different on both, like the garbage details in the floor or the hairs of the characters.

    The majority of multiplatform games have this issues in the PS3, only in exclusive games you can see games with high quality that's why i recommend you the 360 for multiplatform games.

  • @fordmike

    or you can see first the differences in the head 2 Head section of "lensoftruth" or in digitalfoundry (search them in google) before you buy multiplatform games

  • @fordmike its the same game running on different hardware.this uses 360's 3ppc core things,while ps3's actually needs the 7 other cores.ps3 cant use its core in almost every game because developers didnt code that in

  • if u want to play this game on high frame rates, go for pc man, set it to 60fps , and u will be a happy camper

  • @slaveknight

    100 hz screen + 100 fps = big win

  • @slaveknight I scored average of 97 fps on my PC.

  • @slaveknight that isnt how computers work, you just cant set it to 60fps, you got to upgrade the cpu, the ram, and the video card( sometimes the motherboard

  • my frame rate is arond 40 fps but it drops to 2,3 r 5 sometimes with no reason!!! can any ' help me i'm on pc"

  • Forgot, and it for PC.

  • Guys i need some help, i've been trying to play this game but whenever i enter the game, the frame rates drop like hell, one thing i notice that when the game run smoothly, the game runs like freakin fast( character running around like freakin Sonic) Please help me.

  • i play this one n pc, its hell alot more better frame rate with same settings...

  • i playir on pc too but my framerate at maximum settings 1680x1050 is always around 25

  • Xuse me? A no life, what the hell is that suppose to mean, do i know u?

  • Oh btw boys and girls get ready for DOOM4 in 2010 they say. Is going to only be for PCs(consoles won't handle it) and said nothing out there will even come close, not even Crysis. So next year save up for a new card and direct x 11 and 12,(rumored) we'll need it.

  • omg... what a no life

  • summer or winter?

  • Yeah sure will, i love my rig, even though everything is digital download now mostly. I for one think its great because the downloads you get from gamestop, Direct To Drive, Capcom, etc have NO DRM, ir Secure Rom, unlike when you buy the disc. I downloaded Dead Space and was beyond pleased the DRM that was on the disc version vanished, so yeah its a lot of fun to be able to download PC games right from your home. Plus the up close and personal with PC games is like no other!! KUDOS

  • Oh, no i dont doubt that the PS3 is a marve, i mean with 8 processors its def the most powerful peace of electronics that you can own in your home. It just uses an older model Nvidia, the RSX=7800gtx. It relies more on the processors with its exclusives which make them awesome(why i own one, besides blu-ray). Its just some ported games suffer badly from low Frame Rates, and lag. But yes even with lower details, the sony exclusives still use a lot of psychics etc. Which is what makes it unique.

  • sir you are right, because ps3 multiplatfrom games are made from 360 and then ported to ps3, they do lose some of that quality. the ps3 exclusives are the ones that take full advantage of the ps3 cell.

  • Yeah, my comp with a Sapphire 4650 gets 42.6 on average. It was only 50$

  • This is why I don't play multiplatform games on consoles.

  • PS3 for a fact has a less powerful GPU and gets its get up and go using the 8 cell processing cores it has.The textures and color are much less on the PS3. Xbox 360 has always been known to have a better GPU since its inception. I have both systems and a gaming PC, and my PC gets 47.9 average frame rate on 1920x1080, and its 169$ ATI Radeon(XFX) 4850 with 1gig of DDR3, and smokes both systems. Also the quad core and 8 gigs of RAM it has helps. So i like all the systems for different reasons.

  • excuse me the ps3 version is exactly the same watch the game trailers comparison and the gpu is only slightly better on the xbox 360 and the games are set to run at a certain amount of processing power, so u r right; but think about all the exclusives:

    God of war 3, uncharted one/two, killzone 2, motorstorm one/two, god of war 3 and gran turismo 5

  • Jesus my pc destroys that framerate, and thats with 16xq and fullhd. Pcs are so much stronger today. Atleast highend.

  • The xbox 360 version is better than the ps3 version in all aspects

  • Another win for 360 and the 360 version has way better textures also.

  • way better textures... fanboy...

    its just slight frame rate differences, fuckin lazy developers

  • fucking faggot, re5 textures on 360 MURDER the ps3 textures yuou can even watch comparison videos of it, you fucking retard.

    Lazy developers is just your EXCUSE and it's IRRELEVANT the FACT is 360 is SUPERIOR.

  • Look how old are you?? 10?? First theres NO difference in the RE5 textures dumbfuck, second the PS3 is MORE POWERFULL than 360, that's fact, if you werent a dumbass you would know that. 360 is weak, Gow2 used 99% of total 360 power and the game doesnt look as good as Killzone 2, Uncharted 2 or Heavy Rain so shut the fuck up.

  • FUCK OFF, the texture difference is FACT.

    FACT, the 360 is more powerful and is PROVEN in the games, retard. No , GoW2 did NOT use 99% you fucking idiot. KZ2 doesn't look good, small confined spaces and SHIT CONTROLS. UC2 SUCKS SO BAD and heavy rain wishes it was Alan Wake.

    Make me shut up, you fucking powerless queer.

  • LOL Dude you're pathetic, you're just a troll who cant have a PS3. Alan Wake?? That shit?? Heavy Rain looks 100 times better. KZ2 does have better graphics than Gears of War 2 and Uncharted 2 beats any game ever made on console so shut the fuck up, do some reasearch you dumbass, ps3 is more powerfull, 360 sux, piece of shit system.

  • I have a PC/360/ps3 you stupid fag.

    I did the research and OWN BOTH, 360 wins EASILY so go cry some more you broke little faggot.

  • The best game in the world is the Legend of Zelda ocarina of time on the nintendo 64 its the highest  rated game ever made so fuck your Heavy Rain, fuck your KZ2, and fuck your Uncharted 2 and most important go fuck yourself cos the playstation 3 sucks balls

    U just got whipped BITCH!!!!!

  • Legend Of Zelda?? haha who the fuck cares about ratings, Heavy Rain KZ2, Uncharted 2, all those games are better you dipshit, fuckin nintendo nerd LMFAO

  • First place Wii

    Second Xbox 360

    LAST ps3

    Now i think we all who the winners are yes i rest my case OOPS I ALMOST forgot too mention Your ma chews on cocks in hell poor bitch got jizzed on but she loved every second of it

  • Again, who cares about sales?? Im not gonna be happy because my console sells alot, im gonna be happy because my console rocks. Oh and overral PS3 is selling very good and 3rd party game developers (EA, Capcom, Ubisoft...) they are all making more money on the ps3...

  • @DominoEffect66

    faggot

  • Omg, im gonna throw myself in here, the ps3 is by a fact more powerfull that the 360 BUT games are coded fore the 360 wich uses 3 PPC cores, the ps3 tho only has one PPC core and 7 more SPEs so most non ps3 exclusive games only run on 1 of the ps3s 8 cores, hence the worse performance.

    Also the texures and shit is the same, the difference is the gamma wich is shit on ps3 ports making games look worse.

    So yes, 360 original does look better then the ps3 ports but look at the exclusive titles!!

  • nope it aint ps3 is superior

  • @ado908

    No offense, I've ditched 360 and gone with PS3, and my experience tells me PS3 is definitely not superior. Sorry. Most of the games have poor frame rates.

  • @DominoEffect66

    you're just a faggot

  • Both versions suck! PC is best!

  • agree..once you have a high end gaming pc..theres nothing u need

  • I'm a ps3. But why do they always make an idiot play the ps3 version?

  • hehe i have everything maxed on the benchmark and i doubled the consoles frame rate

  • Now they should make another video and add the pc version (they released the benchmark) running at 100fps in 1080p with 16xAA.

  • it looks stunning on PC in DX10 mode, it pretty demanding too although i suspect the drivers need tweaking so whatever performance you get in the bench will improve quite a bit come the next driver releases. really though the controls need the attention, the graphics were always gonna be superb

  • The benchmark run already quite good for me (45-60fps) even if i have a 2yo computer :P I can't test dx10 though since im still running winXP (boooo!)

  • most people are gonna good settings on this. its reasonably demanding, but the good thing is that performance at least its appearing to be a good port. vysnc on the game is smooth like other MT framework games even when it falls off the v lock. most are gonna be able to max it, and then the difference will be how much AA you can afford to drop on it.

  • Draken4426 = LOL xD

  • MGS4onXbox360LOLwut = microsoft and xbox fanboys can only wish that would happen xD.

  • Yeah, has anyone seen the assassins creed video? the one where the guy clearly shows using full range RGB and super white made it look ten times better? I bet digital foundry havent done that. Sure maybe the frame rate is consistent on 360 but I bet you the colours would like much nicer on PS3 if full range RGB was used. Still u get the game for the system u own. Im waiting for the PC version which will be better than both with higher res.

  • Both settings are actually set as you describe, even though super white is only used on digital component signals (ie Blu-ray movies to all intents and purposes). Still carry on believing what you want to believe.

  • "Still carry on believing what you want to believe."

    What do u mean? i assumed that u didnt use Full range becos most ppl dont who do these types of videos forget to and results the PS3 version looking washed out. I still "believe" that the PS3 is a better built machine than the 360 and im no fanboy, its just fact. Id rather play this game on the PS3 for the sheer fact that i dont have to worry about the system over heating. BUT, nice vid either way I must admit.

  • digitalfoundry what i wanna know is how people can deny evidence til they are blue in the face, am i correct in saying that this game also has anti aliasing on 360, none on ps3? most multi platform titles are the same arent they with the difference often being filters noticeably. no AA on ps3, often some anisotropic, no anistropic on 360. when can you do a FEAR 2 comparison? because to me, it runs awful on ps3

  • ppl deny evidence because they're fanboys. Keep up the good work digital foundry.

  • i dont think people realise how just enabling anti aliasing on game is a pretty huge leap in performance. when the game is designed to be at the limit of the console abilities, then using AA would incur an enormous performance penalty. IF you could implement AA on ps3 the game would probably be lucky to run above 20FPS at all! whereas the same thing on 360 and the game still runs 30FPS rock solid all the time ps3 is dropping frames with less work to do!

  • im no fanboy, although ps3 can handle much better material than resi 5 at solid framerates so this actually suprised me lol cant wait for the pc port of it.

  • its not ps3 fault that it some how runs better on 360. if the developers put more effort into the ports then im sure they coul have both had the same framerate and detail. ps3 can handle more than what resi 5 offers like uncharted at solid framerates. fear 2 is better on pc than both consoles so id like to see a comparison including the pc version.

  • its never ps3's fault is it. despite the fact that practically every multi plat title runs best on 360, every developer must be lazy. cmon. its been nearly three years and ports still arent up to scratch on ps3. its about time people faced up to the truth and start pointing the finger at the hardware, which is clearly to blame

  • okay whatever, but you need to know the facts also, PS3 wasnt the lead platform for this game same as DMC4 wasnt lead platform on PS3, it was PC. Thats why this game and DMC4 will run much better on PC becos capcom are using same engine they did with DMC4, hence why every1 was gobsmacked it was such a good port. perhaps the 360 version looks a bit nicer, but I bet you my last penny it looks best on PC.

  • MT framework is the engine this game and most other capcom titles now run on. the engine is optimised heavily for all next generation platforms, including ps3 and 360. people somehow think that companies dont optimise for ps3, when in reality the underlying engine has already been vastly optimised for each platform, and then the final game dictates further, pretty minor in reality, optimisation. hence for most multi titles, its just boring when someone says its not coded properly for ps3

  • @DigitalFoundry Played both and still dont see a difference in frame rate

  • pc version it already out. assassins creed is pretty close on both platforms. but 360 edges it texture detail. extremely close however and it doesnt help ps3's reputation that the game was supposed to be lead on ps3, and as per usual 360 still manages to pull out a superior version if only slightly...

  • 360 may have the better multi plats, but PS3 has the better exclusives which look better than the multi plats. Its pretty even to me. what ever console you have u get the game for that console and shouldnt be but hurt if theres a spec of dust on one version and not the other.

  • your opinion ps3 exclusives look better than most multi plats. for a start forget MGS4, it runs 1024 x 768. the model;s are greast but the environments are average, GRAW probably has better looking environments and its a 3 year old game. still least MGS4 is the better offline game. all most ps3 owners claim is uncharted and killzone 2. in my opinion they are no better than 360 games just different. and theres only two of them. not exactly worth extra money for two games versus hundred multi 360

  • i like both games but there is still no escaping the fact two gears games are rated higher and frankly both better games than uncharted, and halo 3 looks far worse but again it is the better game of killzone 2 especially online. maybe if the developers of both games had concentrated less on graphics they could have made even better gameplay. i have high hopes for uncharted 2. we will have to see

  • they look the same but the xbox 360 has better framerates thats FACTUAL EVIDANCE !

  • This is pure rubbish.

    Digital Foundry you really should fix it.

    Watch the first part on the 360, you can see the slowdown at the beginning, but the fps does not change. Strange. Conspiracy.

  • ps3 owners shouldnt feel too hard done by though, the ps3 version isnt as badly behind as some other game slike the recent ghostbusters as one example. if you hadnt seen the 360 version you would be happy with the ps3 version. i am however going to buy and keep the pc version when it appears. no doubt it will run much faster and be overall far superior to console

  • no ps3 owner is feeling hard because of this, because we have our own advantages, we have better visuals, and this game is selling better on the ps3 than the 360. and u just proved urself that u don't have a ps3. i win once again

  • ahhh indeed you prove how childish and ignorant you are post after post. i gave enough sites that point to the 360 versions looking and running better, eurogamer portugal is ANOTHER one that backs me up with a whole series of telling shots my lad :o). no question that 360 version is superior, but people who only have a ps3 will be okay i guess. last time i checked selling more doesnt affect graphics, but then they have sold reasonably evenly anyway. not that it matters.....

  • a seperate eurogamer in depth comparison article in march also confirmed the findings of the horror analysis. with addition to these comprehensive framerate videos that show 360 version runs smoother. i dont think there is anyone that could possibly claim otherwise, i agree with the findings of several seperate sites after playing both versions close after each other. 360 wins although its not enough to spoil the game for ps3 owners. not the best resi game IMO but still very good

  • vids are locked to a set framerate when encoded for utube you will not tell the difference only in front of the game directly. thus the overlay to show the games speed otherwise you wont know on youtube. a faster framerate does of course require more processing speed and power. so if it looks the same but runs faster indicates better hardware. thats why pc guides talk about 'faster' graphics cards enabling more effects to be turned on before the framerate slips below 25FPS into sluggishness

  • Can someone please explain what frame rate is? I can't dicern any difference.

  • framerate. well what are movies or games? they are essentially, a series of quickly refreshing, static pictures. one frame is a picture. when you start seeing more than 12-15 frames per second your eyes start to perceive it as motion as your brain blurs the edges between the frames. you never seen a flick book animation or a picture carousel? the principal is the same. because you are seeing slightly changing pictures flicking quickly in front of your eyes, you start to see motion

  • the more frames you see in a second, the smoother the motion appears to be. for example a game refreshing 60 frames every second will be noticeably smoother and quicker to respond to controller input than one running 20 frames per second. thats 1/60th of a second for a frame and input response, instead of 1/20th. its a smaller timespan so that explains response. typically games running less than 25FPS appear sluggish and 'chuggy'. so frames per second, more and more stable = better

  • Thank you very much for clearing that up. Good explanation, I tried to find one on the internet, but to no avail.

  • 360 version also has better graphics

  • no the ps3 does, i download the demo on both systems and compared them, 360 has better frame rate and the ps3 has better visuals

  • 360 has a rock solid framerate as seen above, anti aliasing lacking on ps3, and subtly better textures and effects like smoke/dust. ps3 version is inferior in every way that actually matters. however at least its not a massive gap. 360 version is clearly better, but the ps3 version isnt terrible by a long shot

  • yes, u r true about the aliasing on ps3, but i have to disagree with u on the textures and other effects. i wouldn't say the ps3 version is inferior because it has its own advantages. 360 version has better frame rate and self shading, and the ps3 version has better textures and other effects such as lightning etc..

  • well you need to see the comparison shots. the-horror. com website has an extremely good comparison of the versions backing up my comments as usual. ps3 is sorely lacking against 360 with smoke and heat haze effects, textures are here and there slightly lower res on ps3, shadows are lower precision, aliasing more pronounced and finally the killer is that the framerate as seen here, is less stable. 360 better overall all things considered

  • yes, i already have a prior knowledge about the web site, but that comparison was even before the demo released, capcom changed many things on the ps3 version compared now to those photos. for example, u see the fence, the 360 very has better reflections than the the ps3, and the same goes for the textures on the human guts. but now if u compare the ps3 version to the 360, everything is different, the ps3 version of the game has better visuals. u can check from the latest comparisons.

  • the article was AFTER the game was released, as stated on the very FIRST sentence. you need to learn to read. they were indeed, retail, FINAL copies comparison that show and confirm the advantages the 360 version has graphically in the departments i highlighted. thats all anyone needs to know. not excuses from you.

  • well i believe u r mistaken because u didn't read the comparison throughly, this is stated in the article "What you should keep in mind when viewing the pictures below is that, as of the publishing of this article, the game still has three months of development time and any of the things you see below could very well be changed by the time the game is released." so ya, u lose again

  • i carried on my comment and unfortunately, you didnt appear to read the eurogamer comparison that confirms the findings of the other site 'horror' that i mentioned. indeed, 360 version is superior and the 'changes' you claim were implemented clearly dont exist, as in march eurogamer confirmed, as expected, ps3 version lags behind 360. case closed. thats just the truth

  • what is frame rate really?

  • lol u sonyers fanboys are mad hahahha =P 360 and wii pwn ps3!!

  • you are a fanboy your self

  • just one thing, the graphics of the ps3 version of this game are more detailed... just for you to know...

  • Cant wait for the PC version. The framerates are going to skyrocket!

  • long as its not a godawful port like resi 4 was onto pc. capcom are going majorly multiplatform here. DMC4, dead rising 2, SF4, bionic commando and this, all on pc. no doubt lost planet 2 will follow too. most of these games made for consoles now can be easily run on a relatively cheap pc and they look amazingly better. resi 5 is a good looking game, but im waiting with great anticipation over seeing the extra polish the game should have on pc

  • Trust me- its gonna run better. Their proprietary 3Dengine, MT Framework, has games built originally on the PC then its ported to the 360 and ps3.

  • it should but the original lost planet did not run very well on pc, at all. its still relatively demanding even today. newer games have managed to improve performance a LOT tho, like DMC4, which i am pleased about

  • I think its because the GPUs werent as good when Lost Planet released back then, but Ive been playing Lost PLanet on my PC and it runs very smooth at framerates above or around 60fps.

  • not really. they werent as fast, but that was still 8800GTX time period and yes, it was still demanding. DMC4 maxed for example runs over 100FPS easily on a 8800 series at medium resolutions, lost planet does not, even now. lost planet was just not quite as good a pc port as it should have, i would probably put it down to DX10 more than anything. inefficient use of the new codepath. considering that lost planet was the first ever commercial DX10 release, it kinda makes sense

  • well lost planet runs well on my PC, but it SHOULD run better.

    its not as demanding as some games nowdays, but its much more demanding than it should be for how good it looks.

    when i ran it on my geforce7600gt it wasnt very good at all. it runs better now, on my 9800gx, but still should be better than that.

    also a shame it was a bit boring anyway

  • i initially used an X1950XTX two years ago and i couldnt believe how badly it ran and looked, even at 720p. wasnt even close to the 360 version, despite the fact an XTX would be at least a match or slightly faster than 360's xenos. yes it does run better than 360 on an 8800 series or better these days. but still, it wasnt as good as it could have been

  • I still don't understand how the ps3 can have games like GT5 and Killzone 2 which run faster and have much higher detail, yet the multi-platform games ALWAYS trail behind the 360 counterpart.

  • cos the production cost of Killzone 2 was astronomical compared to most multi's. How many years it took to make? How many years is GT5 still in production? Shame KZ2 flopped in sales compared to Halo/Gears/RE5 etc.

  • well consider this, killzone 2 looked better than RE5 now WAY back in E3 07, same goes for GT5 Prologue, which was revealed also at that show. Now RE5 has been in development since what, 2006 when it was first revealed at e3? Multiplatform or not, they had the time to work on the game. Not to mention its one of capcom's more prominent titles; i'm sure they would put more money in for development.

    KZ2's prod. costs were ~20 mil. That's nothing compared to what Gears or Halo cost to develop, btw

  • KZ2 cost more to develop. 22mil is the lowest claim, excluding marketing costs.

  • 360 must be able to run even faster than the 30FPS cap here, it never drops below that lock. chances are without v lock 360 would be doing 40 frames a second most of the time. 360 also has 2 x MSAA to clean up the worst of teh jags. easy win for 360 overall. still the game is very similar on both platforms, no major gap unlike some others

  • I get this feeling that capcom v-locked the ps3 because the screen tear would be far worse on it than on the 360.

  • Oh and to all ps3 fanboys... Why do you think we don't have cell processors for pc ? Maybe because it's impossible to code something optimized for this crap ? And don't get me wrong , i'm not fan of the xbox360 either. I challenge you to give me ONE advantage the consoles have over the pc except the price. Good luck on that heh.

  • Console exclusives

  • And theres tons of pc exclusives aswell

  • I've fulfilled what you asked for. Having a certain game the other platform does not is an advantage in that individual scenario no matter how you cut it.

  • ohhhhh SNAP! BURN-NATED!

  • Consoles have MUCH more exclusives that I like, especially in the form of Japanese-produced games. I don't care the least bit about MMOs and RTS games.

  • You kind of do. What do you think a quad core is? Almost nobody supports them, but laughing at multi processor CPU's is not even remotely a bullet point in a console vs PC drama.

  • i'm talking about ps3 cell processor crap btw and this have nothing to do with pc cpu's.

  • You're talking about the PS3's CPU. The Cell's just a variation on a multiprocessor CPU, PC's have also started moving towards multiprocessor CPU's.

    You've blundered into the least important non point possible. (What next? Start bragging about how many bits a PC is?) Cling to it if you like.

  • the 360 has a multiprocessor cpu

  • but why on earth is the framerate locked at 30?

  • It doesnt matter on the ps3 since it can't even keep 30 fps.

  • BTW, why the fuck is it lagging on the ps3 side, your ps3 is broken O_O

  • How the hell are you even seeing this, it looks so fake.

  • im mad they only caped the game at 30fps

  • ports always have frame rate loss,

  • probably because Ps3 games are blurays so they have more compression, which means more uncompressing time than xbox

  • and here we hav a ps3 fanboy contradicting himself. with blu ray there is actualy less compression needed as it is a bigger disk. yes the Cell requires rediculous amounts of programming etc but still it doesnt need as much compression as the xbox. the reality is that the blurriness is due to the fact that the ps3 is not using Anti aliasing as it is too taxing unlike the xbox which esentialy gets it free. so to cover it, the ps3 blurrs all the images

  • Frame Rate Issues for the most part is depend on the type of coding used. The 360 is such an easy system to bild code for games that developers have less stress than coding games for the PS3. However, no notable difference have been notcied between the two, as CAPCOM has found a way to use other featuers of the PS3 to provide the same experience and some say, a little better experience than the 360.

    But still an older console is surpassing a newer is unacceptable.

  • what other features are those?? (seriously i'd like to know)

  • Xbox solid rock...but there's rly no difference
