    I really hate these comparisons, but for a multi console owner I can understand this being helpful.

  • berelain #2 2 years ago

    Its fantastic to see one of these go up at the same time as the review, and before the game is released- gives multiplatform gamers like me a really good idea of which version to go for. None of them, in this case, but hey.

    PC wins....er and is dead or something...

  • Darren #4 2 years ago

    Great article and nicely timed before the game's release for a change.

    I noticed when I tried all three demos that the PC version was less annoying to play so it's good that this article also makes a point of mentioning that. I actually found the PS3 and 360 versions nauseating too and kept wishing I could turn off the horrid processing. Although the PC version isn't perfectly, it's improved enough to not be irritating.

    Shame then that it looks like the game isn't that much cop going by the EG review (4/10). :(

  • TopKatt #5 2 years ago

    Crap game looks same on different platforms.

  • GamesConnoisseur #6 2 years ago

    Games still plays like 4/10 on all platform and that the saddest thing, was damn looking forward to the game too.

  • Vitor #7 2 years ago

    Performs well on PC? I played the demo and it ran awfully on my machine - maybe an isolated incident then? Seemed to be a CPU limitation as no matter how far I toned down the graphical settings, I would only get a boost of around 10FPS, tops. Odd when I have an i7 though...

    Would be willing to give the full game a try but that 4/10 is making it look a tad unappealing at full price...

  • I\'mListening #8 2 years ago

    I don't really care which version is better when the game in question gets a 4/10. I won't be buying either version.

    A 4/10 game gets a dedicated Face Off article.....slow news week then?

  • Retro_ #10 2 years ago

    Played and loved the PS3 demo of the game. I'm almost speechless at the 4/10 EG have handed out, it was a WTF moment for me when I saw it. Each to their own I guess

    hindsight the better part of valor

  • DoctorFouad #12 2 years ago

    interesting

  • toy_brain #13 2 years ago

    Possibly worth mentioning that Giantbomb maked the 360 version down by a full point (out of 5) due to a major freeze-bug that kicked in (on multiple 360's) after a few hours play.

    360 owners that still want to buy this may be best off waiting for news of a patch before shelling out.

  • orangpelupa #14 2 years ago

    is Vsync = ON, make the game got input-lag on PC?
    some game (like BFBC2) really give a lot iput lag when vsync On.... and really make me hard to aim, frustrating.

    Mafia 2 looks truly hideous on cconsole as well. While taking amazing looksing games like Just Cause 2 into acount, I think it's time for a new round of consoles. They just cannot do what is demanded of them and more sub HD grubby looking games are guaranteed. How long before we start seeing 640X480 games? Alan Wake 2?

    Of course new consoles come with their own problems but technically speaking both systems are dogs now... Expensive dogs.

  • Nephirion #16 2 years ago

    Either the game is shit or the review ... you decide

  • TaniumZX #17 2 years ago

    @ karooo - Don't read them then, simple.

  • spudsbuckley #18 2 years ago

    Why waste time doing a comparison article for a bad game?

  • Quixz #19 2 years ago

    Many people hate these because their console of choice is always losing :D

  • Suttieb #20 2 years ago

    A lot of work for a bargain bin title! Demo was shit

  • SG79 #21 2 years ago

    "360 version soundly beating the ps3 version is not a surprise."

    Not really. If you want an example of that, look at Bayonetta where the differences are clear as daylight. With this game, you'd need a performance analyzer to tell them apart.

  • RKOwned #22 2 years ago

    wow, there really is no visual difference here. Performance is meh to me because usualy I dont notice it when peopel say there is a difference. Again, no big differene, but people will blow it out of porportion.

  • JBlokeUK #23 2 years ago

    Stopped reading these comparisons when it was determined that a 360 version was always, always better than a PS3 version. Before the comparisons were even carried out in most cases I'd imagine.

    Didn't even read this article as they are all the same.

  • Lord_Gremlin #24 2 years ago

    The game is shit. You have nothing to do, right?

  • Vitor #25 2 years ago

    @ N@

    'What gfx card are you using? I'm using a i7 with a single 5850 and that is enough to play this game at 1080p 60fps with every possible setting set to maximum so...a bit weird you are getting rubbish performance.'

    I'm using an Nvidia 285m - mobile card it may be but my performance on a lot of games will put even a full fledged 260 to shame so it's not a lightweight card by any means (can max out nearly every decently ported multiplatform game at 1920x1080 and get a solid 30FPS or more - Batman: AA gets me that with full Physx for instance and Singularity got me a constant 60FPS maxed at the same res as did the last Transformers game).

    It's highly likely that they didn't test the game on any mobile units (as is often the case) so that might be the root of the issue.

    EDIT: Updated to latest Nvidia Drivers and got a 50% performance boost... Still not a constant 60 (45 in gunfights, 90 outside) but still, much, much smoother. Thought I already had the newest drivers all along, guess not...

  • Chupakun #26 2 years ago

    So the basic summary is: if you have an both consoles, go for the Xbox 360 version? Awwh. To be fair, the difference between the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Bayonetta was disgusting. Most of the time though, I don't really care since I prefer the UI and user experience on the PS3 but for some games, I think I'll have to get them for the 360.

  • SaberEdge #27 1 year ago

    I am surprised by the score Eurogamer gave this game. I played the demo and I quite enjoyed myself. Granted that was only the demo and they played the full game, but I am still surprised. I saw a lot of higher scores from other sites.

    Anyway, I downloaded the 360 and PS3 versions of the demo and I found pretty much the same thing as Digital Foundry. The 360 version had less screen tearing and less frame rate drops. I also noticed the SSAO on the 360 that was missing on the PS3.
