Xbox 360 vs PS3 Face-Off: Round 14 Comments by Richard Leadbetter

I guess console gamers can be just as much graphics whores as PC gamers, even though most of them always like to claim that they play games for "fun" not "graphics."

But please, don't let me interrupt your pixel-counting war. ;)

wingzerosys You big idiot! ;)... yes MS have their shady history, but so do Nintendo and Sony... especially Sony(MS screwed over their competitors to win in the past... Sony screw over their consumers to win and they think they are somehow special its that arrogant "we are Sony, we own gaming so we do what we want!" attitude, the way they go on they'd tell their fans they invented gaming if they could get away with it.).

Why pretend supporting any company over the other is a more noble choice then? Frankly I find that STUPID and really you are only fooling yourself into beleiving that rubbish.

Why is that IGN and GT say one version looks/plays better (say the PS3 version ) and eg says the other one? 2 against one.

So only eg have this super comparison technology? Did they make it? Patent it? Why are they to be trusted when the others aren't? Why do I always get different outcomes? Why is it only eg that favours the 360 all the time, that they have to give it 14-0?

Yes GTA IV looks better on the 360, but not every single game does.

Who do I sue, as I got DMC 4, Burnout:Paradise, Dark Sector, BF:BC, Army of Two and SC4 on the PS3 due to *supposedly* being identical, I was robbed according to eg.

wingzerosys, didn't you read the link a few posts up provided by zooms, go and read it right now and then come back and tell me that EG has some kind of pre-baked bias against Sony. Don't be so naive.

Read it and then SHHhhhh!

I never said I support one company over the other, you're talking shit now.

@Kyron, go back to sucking Calgons prick, you seem to love him that much, especially seeing as he supposedly knows what he's talking about and your both 360 fanboys.

What bullshit? I've told my side of the story, no bullshit here.

Headbog you poor lovesick fool, no matter how many times you namedrop me I won't take off my trousers for you.

LOL, wingzerosys just sent me this private message:

I don't really care about console wars, I just want a bit of hard cock, that's why I'm trying to wind calgon and you up, it's the only way I can get another mans attention, pleases don't take offence at the things I say, I just want some hard cock baby

Are you serious, you fucking weirdo?

That proves nothing, that has nothing to do with comparing the games, both IGN and Gamespot said SW:TFU looks graphically better but more prone to glitches.

EG will again favour the 360's version, this time it will be 15-0, every god damn comparison they do will favour the 360.

That is what I find to be a load of shit, no fanboyism about it.

Wtf, do you want to get modded Kyron?

You are being childish and immature, the mods will know I never sent you a pm, nice try but you failed.

Whilst I so called sent that pm, I was writing on here, I give you 0/10 for effort.

Modded? Listen sonny, if mods cared about people talking shit in the comments section, you'd have been booted ages ago. Besides, you did just ask me for some sweet gay loving so don't deny it elton.

I'm not talking shit nor have I ever sent you a private message.

You are an idiot and sick for coming up with such bullshit, I've pm'd a mod has what you've done is the lowest of the low, I've never had anyone make up a fake pm before, its pathetic.

My argument was with Calgon until you butted in and started defending him.

Why did you go through all that trouble of making everyone think I sent you a message? Are you attention seeking? Is their something seriously wrong with you?

Why anyone would make that up is beyond me, thats something I could never do.

You're kinda easy to wind up, aren't you. Maybe you should consider getting one of those things called a "life". By the way, after you went crying to a mod, did you also run screaming into your mothers bosom like a scared little boy?

Nice edit on your post, so you decided to delete the part where you called me a f***ing c*** sucking retard. I'm glad, that was a bit below the belt tbh.

No, I don't appreciate being accused of something I haven't said or done, even if it was *supposedly* a wind-up, I can fight my own battles thanks.

And you wonder why I pm'd a mod, you're coming out with things I have never even said, its pathetic and immature.

I have a life thanks, what do you call living? Being dead? I admit I'm easy to wind up but I can still have a laugh.

What you have done isn't called having a laugh, its called being immature.

I think you are probably very young so I will stop picking on you. Good day sir.

I'm older than you think, what you wrote was uncalled for and something a child or mental person would do.

I've put you on ignore so I don't have to deal with your shit.

Sorry guys, back on topic.

I google the internet to find comparisons on both versions, if more than one person says one version looks better than the other then I'll buy that.

EG say they use RBG, well I use HDMI for my comparisons, I find the best person to trust is yourself, if you can, compare them yourself.

I just cannot trust Eurogamers comparisons, they always favour one console whilst all the other sites favour different one's.

If the other sites kept a score, it wouldn't be say 14-0, it'd be something like 10-5 in favour of the 360, which we know *USUALLY* gets the better version.

I wonder which version eg would prefer if MGS 4 got ported to the 360? My guess would be the 360.

"I'm older than you think"

So you're 12 and not 9 then, sorry, my mistake.

lol@Kryon

Nice one mate, v funny. :)

wingzerosys EG dont patent the equipment but its expensive and neither Gamespots or GTs methods are as exact or fair... this "2 against one so Im right" arguement is immature and ignorrant. Infact you are just going to stay in denial about it.

EGs footage and screens tell the story on their own(argue with that you fool, take a look and see for yourself)... Richard then summarises for the comparison articles naturally. If anything it shows bias from other sources because they arent accurate.

No doubt you will again repeat the same arguements Ive defeated already all over again, so Id like to say this discussion is over as I wont waste any more time on it.

The fact is these are THE most accurate comparisons compare the footage from the sources which contradict it and tell me thats not the case. I will the have to call you liar or an idiot if you do though.

EDIT: No its not "RBG" its RGB and its not "RGB scart" if thats what you are thinking, read it properly before arguing with it... The captures are the highest quality available from each machine(full RGB and 24bit precision = the amount of colours being displayed) so theres no arguements about what screen they were using either(unlike some other comparisons available) because its direct from console to the device as outputed from the framebuffer of each machine.

I just find it strange that Eurogamer have said the 360 version is better everytime, surely the PS3 should have some that are either identical or a few that are better.

But in Eg's case, they don't.

Then the developers owe me money, seeing as (according to Eg) I've bought the inferior versions.

I mean't RGB, infact I didn't realise I spelt it wrong, I'm not a techy so I didn't understand them when they said RGB.

To me it seems you take Eg's word with a grain of salt and dismiss everyone else's comparisons, whilst I'm the latter.

For that reason, none can be trusted and its better to compare them yourself.

Cry me a river.

There are some that are pretty much identical though COD4, Burnout, Oblivion(I think they even gave that to PS3 but there was a year between each version and the differences where slight).

There are over 10 games in this round so even if there were some that were even it would still be a "14-0"... I hope you realise thats just a wind up by members here to rile up Sony Fanboys that plague the comments... thats not EG.

So are the games I listed identical? They look it to me.

Besides, I hardly see a difference between the Mercs 2 pic, one looks slightly brighter.

Actually, that's really all I see between comparisons, the brightness/contrast differences.

Dont know why I read these posts? Maybe is this fanboy fight intertainment in some kind off perverted way?

@Wingzerosys

Well he certainly isnt making anything up, the footage matches everything he says... perhaps they could annotate the key areas of the screens/footage in future which show the differences most in say lighting, aliasing, texture detail, reflections ect. It sounds like you dont think these small differences matter too much or dont notice them(doesnt mean others can't though) and you are happy enough with the PS3 version more often than not... thats fine, EG are just comparing the differences, they arent bashing the PS3.

Funnily enough though thats one difference thats most obvious with the brightness and contrast... PS3s frames looked more washed out... thats less detail btw, 360s are richer and have more contrast.

I do care about the differences, why else would I sound pissed off? Other than Kyron pissing me off.

I bought some PS3 versions due to what I heard/read, that some are better or identical to the 360 version.
Plus the fact I own nearly 3 times more games on the 360 so I want to buy more for the PS3.

I bought the PS3 version of SC4 for a few reasons, Darth Vader, PS3 d-pad, identical graphics (which I'm now hearing they aren't).

I own both versions of GTA IV and out of a lot of multiplats, that is the only one (which I can see) that looks better on the 360.

The irony in that post is unbeleivable... Sony are the kings of hype(I thought of naming it the 'Hypestation 3' after that first E3 outing and the press' reactions to it, EG included ) and their fanboys like hedbog eat it up... they will never beable to accept the realities of it all, even after this gen is done with and devs are on the next they will find a way not to beleive it if 360 is indeed still edging it or to blame developers not having enough time or being too lazy ect.

Hedbog trolls 360 sections daily, a PS3 fanboy... obsessed with trying to prove to the world that PS3 and Sony are the best thing ever and all that is Xbox is crap(attacking those that dissagree or point out his errors, since he is often completely wrong and spreading missinformation)... a true credit to the image of todays gamers really he is. :/

@hedknob

"The only irony round here is that fanboys like Calgon and Cry-on lap up MS hype bullshit"

What hype? I believe the 360 to be a better choice (if you can only afford one system, like yourself) because the majority of multi-format games are superior, the price is more reasonable and MS have bought out many of Sony's important/system selling titles, such as FFXIII, Resident Evil 5, DMC4, GTAIV, etc, etc.

These are facts, not hype. The only nonces who seem to be into believing hype are people like yourself and wingzy, furiously jizzing in your panties in anticipation of this amazing 'untapped' power that will never materialize.

Calgon doesn't seem to be bad, even if he does agree with everything EG say.

Kyron on the other hand is a different story, he made out I sent him a private message and even wrote out what I supposedly sent him. that was uncalled for, totally unnecessary and I have never ever seen anyone do what he did before.

Even if it was a wind-up, it still proves he has a mental problem, to totally make up a private message just isn't normal.

I pm'd a mod because they can prove that I never even sent him a message, they can prove what an idiotic liar he is and infact I have ever only pm'd 3 people.

Like I keep saying, yes more so than not 360 multiplats are better than PS3s, there's no way in hell they are 100% better every single time, that is why I call EGs comparisons bullshit biased 360 fanboys.

I'm not loyal to either M$ (I put the $ because they're greedy fuckers) or Sony, I've always been loyal to Nintendo, even if they do supposedly hate europe.

Cont...

Like I keep saying (I've had to keep repeating myself) I play games, I own all 3 consoles due to exclusives, not to love them in any other way, they're just hardware made by a certain company and are used for entertainment purposes.

I use the PS3 to browse the internet, to play games and watch movies. Does that make me a PS3 fanboy? It shouldn't do.

I've been playing on the 360 more often, am I a 360 fanboy because of it? I cannot see why I should be.

My Wii is gathering dust due to being unplayed for awhile, does that make me more loyal to M$ & Sony? I can't see why it should.

As you can see, they're only companies who make the hardware and are also involved in the software side (not much though), I buy there systems and games, not because of loyalty, but because of there gaming systems/exclusives.

Infact I sometimes favour a console over the other, may it be the 360, PS3, Wii, DS, or PSP, it doesn't make me a fanboy because of it, it just depends what I play on the most at that time etc.

Kyron on the other hand is a different story, he made out I sent him a private message and even wrote out what I supposedly sent him. that was uncalled for, totally unnecessary and I have never ever seen anyone do what he did before.

BooHoo! The nathty man towd evewyone about me thending him homothexual pms, now evewybody knowth my thecret, waaa! How couwd anyone be tho cwuel! Ith the motht cwuelest thing on the internet ever! :'(

Seriously though, get over it.

I pm'd a mod because they can prove that I never even sent him a message, they can prove what an idiotic liar he is and infact I have ever only pm'd 3 people.

LOLLERSKATES! yeah, quick you should call Hercule Poirot and Sherlock Holmes as well to help unravel the 'mystery of the gay pm' just to be sure you can be absolved of any guilt... Seriously now, are you for real mate? Jesus H. Christ, Get over it and harden the fuck up.

@wingzerosys: "I'm not loyal to either M$ (I put the $ because they're greedy fuckers) or Sony, I've always been loyal to Nintendo, even if they do supposedly hate europe."

And $onĄ (see what I did there?) aren't.

wingzerosys is at school now so probably can't reply until lunch/home time. Mmm, Frubes, Dairylea sammich and a Penguin biscuit bar for his lunch today, gotta keep that strength up for a good evenings trolling on any recent 360 related articles!

I wonder why these comparisons focus on graphics, online play, installations, etc and forget that the pS3 controler kicks 360 ass in the gameplay dep. The only reason why I bought it on PS3 instead of 360 was the d-pad on 360 sucks major ass.

I wonder why these comparisons focus on graphics, online play, installations, etc and forget that the pS3 controler kicks 360 ass in the gameplay dep

1- Different pads for different genres/types of game.

2- The majority of modern games aren't majorly reliant on the d-pad, so that would mean the 360 pad is superior in general for modern gaming,

3- This article is not called "Joypad Face-Off: Round 14"

4- Which pad you prefer is a matter of opinion, most (non-fanboy) gamers are of the opinion that the 360 pad is superior in general but does suffer a pretty bad d-pad.

5- Many games that are reliant on the d-pad (like fighters) are better played with a joy-stick anyway.

agree that the ps3 pad is far superior for fighting games, but not so for driving or games where dual stick control is needed, they are too damn close together.

I wonder why these comparisons focus on graphics, online play, installations, etc and forget that the 360 controler kicks ps3 ass in the gameplay dep. The only reason why I bought it on 360 instead of PS3 was the ergonomics, triggers and dual analogue placement on the PS3 sucks major ass.

See what I did there?

Keep these articles coming, a great service to the gaming community! To think the Dreamcast may not have had an early death if EG had done these Face offs 8 odd years ago! A Dreamcast 2 would have pissed all over the overhyped mess that is the current Gen.
Maybe Sony will now give up the bullshit that tries to stop us gamers enjoying other consoles? (consider how many console gamers missed out on VGA and keyboard/mouse goodness *almost a decade ago* because of those lying fuckheads)

Arbiter, try using Google (it's very useful), read a few gaming forums/articles/views of the general gaming public. You will find your proof right there.

@ hedbog

Will you please check your spelling before you post?

Drives me mental everytime I see you've posted, because it will contain some sort of spelling or grammatical error.

Plus, you're a mongwit. Of monumental proportions.

Ok, I could put you on ignore, but I like reminding myself that the general public are basically extremely stupid.

Anyway, back on track. Stop whining all of those 'but, but, but PS3 and teh cellz are da best in da yooniverses'. If it was, then it would bloody win one of these face-offs.

Like the machine myself and the features it has; but Christ Almighty, just because you prefer it to 360, don't tell me it's the best. I can make my own mind up.

Yours,

Pedantic of Surbiton

He really doesnt get the burdon of rpoof thing does he.

Are you really that retarded? Arbiter asked for proof of peoples opinions (which is a bit retarded in itself), so I told him to go and read peoples opinions first hand. Understand now, brain-master? I suppose I could have provided a link to Google but I didn't think it necessary as Arbiter doesn't seem quite as mentally inept as yourself.

Also, amcd28 is correct. You can't even type a coherent sentence. Just in that one line of text I've quoted above, you've made four errors. That's pretty sad considering the sentence only contains eleven words...

Actually, I may have misunderstood what you where trying to say. When you say "He really doesnt get the burdon of r poof thing ", are you trying to say that Arbiter and yourself are burdened by the taboo homosexual desires you have for each other? I'm not sure now.

@ Kyron

I think he's globalising.

r poof, your poof. Everybody's poof.

And we all need a little poof in our lives. Just ask the Great Soprendo....

@amcd28

LOL, I guess you're right, and hedbog is definitely a little poof, so I guess it all works out fine in the end :D

I'm now certain these articles are not pointless. Half of you could save thousands of dollars and a few years work by bringing the comments section to the attention of your therapists.

Good lord EG prints up some simple numbers - empirical, irrefutable - and people manage to a) dismiss the facts, and b) take it personally.

Whatever the PS3/XBox can do, here's what they presently do. End of story. As noted, it's a negligible difference, and it doesn't reflect on anyone's personal merit anyway. Until they start replying in the comments section anyway...

Yeah, come on guys, stop taking the poss now.

I see Kyron's still trolliing, oh well its not like I can see what he's saying, I've already proven what an immature idiotic person he is.

@rottm.

Another idiot who dismisses my posts, its thanks to people like you why I have to keep repeating myself.

I AM NOT LOYAL TO SONY OR MICROSOFT, IF I'M LOYAL TO ANYONE IT WOULD BE NINTENDO.

I WATCHED A PROGRAMME ABOUT M$ AND THEY"RE GREED COPYING FUCKER'S, THUS MY REASON FOR THIS $.

ALSO YOU WOULD KNOW WHAT I SAID ABOUT SONY, WHAT THEY DID TO NINTENDO AND THEY ALSO GOT SUED BY THEM, OK THE LATTER BIT I ADDED ON.

I'm sorry guys but I have to keep repeating myself, so I thought It'd be best if I make it clearer for them to see.

I am used to all 3 controllers, imo the DS3 is slightly better than the 360's, due to rumble (ok so 360 has that), motion control, rechargable battery and better d-pad.

The 360 pad imo has better triggers for fps and racing, whilst the DS3 is better for action adventurers, platformers and fighting games.

I love it when people pretend to ignore me. You go girl!

@ hedbog

Thanks for clarifying.

You say you're badly educated. Take it you underwent your schooling in the UK then?

Mmmm. Two of the brightest people I know have dyslexia, so don't hide behind that as a reason for the sentence irregularities I've seen.

Still think your PS3 'superiority' complex makes you a mong. It is and always will be a box of electronics.

Oh. And I'm Scottish. From Glasgow.

So English isn't my first language.

Belligerent mumbling is...
