Need For Speed Carbon Comparison 720p Comments by Robert Purchese

Hmmm

It's probably just me, but PS3 version looks like nothing special covered in next-gen slime and the 360 version looks poor. But racing games usually look much better in motion, so how about video comparisions?

The Xbox 360 version of Need for Speed: Carbon has lighting that is quite a bit better than the Playstation 3 version. The framerate is also better with the Xbox 360 version.

I think it is great that the editor would rather have, "a spruced up version of Need for Speed: Most Wanted" to play on the Playstation 3, if it were released 1.5 YEARS later...but he needs to live with the fact that Need for Speed: Most Wanted is only available for the Xbox 360.

Also, since the Xbox 360 version of Need for Speed: Carbon is better, AND the Xbox 360 also has Need for Speed: Most Wanted, then that is OBVIOUSLY the best situation!!!

Plus, factor in that the Xbox 360 versions of all the EA Sports games and all the 2K Sports games let you talk online while you are playing the games online using Xbox Live Online-Voice Chat, while the Playstation 3 versions of those EA Sports games and 2K Sports games don't let you talk online while you are playing the games online, and you will realize that the Xbox 360 is a LOT more fun to play, especially when you consider that the Xbox 360 versions of those games have faster better lighting, better texture quality, smoother framerates, more detail, and faster load times, along with the better online play, extra rumble features, and the ability to listen to any music you want while you are playing.

Even games like Call of Duty 3 have a perfectly smooth framerate on the Xbox 360, but they are terribly choppy on the Playstation 3. And Call of Duty 3 doesn't let you talk online while you are playing in the Playstation 3 version. The Xbox 360 version lets you talk online while you are playing, and it adds an extra dimension of gameplay. It is a shame that so many Playstation 3 games don't let you talk online while you are playing; it takes the fun out of playing.

Even Ridge Racer 7 doesn't let you talk online while you are playing on the Playstation 3. Ridge Racer 6 lets you talk on the Xbox 360 while you are playing, and it adds an extra dimension of gameplay to racing, as well. You can ask people for tips, and tell people when you are going to do something cool. Being able to talk to people online while you are playing is fun, and almost every Xbox 360 game includes that feature because Microsoft includes a headset with the Xbox 360. Sony doesn't include a headset or high-definition cables with either version of the Playstation 3, and that is why so many third-party companies don't include Online Voice-Chat with their Playstation 3 games...and that is why the Playstation 3 has sold so poorly all over the world.

No doubt about it, the Xbox 360 is by far the best!

so not much to it, most of the improvements are due to the devs having more time more than having superior hardware, I'd say - from reading that.

Hehe, you're just too cute mike! I really can't decide on whether to ignore you or not, after all, you made me smile.

He made me go to sleep.

(Best night's sleep all week mind you, so he gets a +1 for that)

Eurogamer - think you have the shots the wrong way round. It is the PS3 version that has the much lower detail rear view mirror - thought I better point that out for people comparing. Naughty EG!

Mike, you're on every damn comparison gallery, saying the 360 version is better.

Look at yourself.

Look how desperate MS has made you.
