You SWINE should just crawl back into your PIG PENS and prepare for Judgment Day! If you think your "console" can DARE to hold back my Beast in Black 'n' Blu, you are sadly mistaken!

45 days until Judgment Day, Nazisoft!

MWAH-HA-HA-HA!!!

but i kinda 4got about it

good to hear the PS3 version seems up2par

I remember a couple of years ago, before the launch of PS3, an analyst said that people won't be able to differentiate between the PS3 and 360 in the first couple of years, but once the learning curve is passed, you will see far better graphics on PS3 then on 360. Now I am not a fanboy, I own both consoles. PS3 has just started its life and already we have seen some jaw dropping games & we are seeing a trend where developers are favoring the PS3 as the lead format, because leading on PS3 doesn't cause the 360 version to suffer as incase of the other way around.

death, taxes, PS3 version is better

And so it begins......(with GTA4 it began).............

That is the sound of the winds of change... Not that it's all bad, I own both consoles. ;-)

Well I'm sure if they put just as much focus on the 360 version it would look just as good!

I just want the game, I don't care which system as long as gameplay is intact. I can't wait to go co-op and wreck stuff up with friends.

Honestly there's not much more you can do with a triple core processor. It has it's limits, much like PC games has always been. When reached to a certain amount, more hardware is required.

As for the Cell Processor + RSX GPU = mystery to it's potential. Which is a good thing in the long run.

Get used to it Xbot SUCKA'S

That ED-RAM really did end up being worthless after all. Should've made it capable of handling frame sizes larger than 480p.

it's good that developers are getting to grips with the PS3 hardware.

Well this is interesting, I've yet to see an install on PS3 from EA, unless you can name some.

could be because of Insomniac? Does anyone think 3rd party devs are utilizing their free code they're giving out?

I remember that Xbots were touting that 360 had "Free 4xAA"!! hahahah

lol

Did you guys miss the part where it said that the PS3 version isn't even completely ported yet. AA isn't the holy grail of a game looking better unless the 360 has none at all. I doubt the average person would be able to distinguish 4 samples from 8 or 16 while playing a game in any definition.

If you're using the fact that a developer said AA is easier on the PS3 to judge games looking better in the future you are grasping at straws. AA is a minor afterthought compared to things like on screen poly counts, AI, framerate, texture size, and lighting, which the systems are very comparable in.

So many big words,so few bubbles.

Nice!!!

I wont buy the game though but nice!

I like the fact you can blow up the real in game advertising (or at least a mission?). That sounds pretty smart from an advertising standpoint. Gets your product noticed even if it is for nefarious reasons.

Woah, epic meltdowns incoming!

The trailer looked rather uninspiring to be honest not a game that's on my radar.

Because it's only coming to PS3 BIATCHES!!! Thumbs up for PS3.

PS3 will from now on be referred to only as- the most technologically advanced gaming platform in existence.

oh wow, look what console is getting better anti-aliasing now, the console that had bad anti-aliasing before, wanna know how this happened, simple, you make a game from the ground up on the console, it wont be hurt by these things. developers are finally realizing that this is how you are suppose to make PS3 games. make them lead platform or build it from the ground up.

It's unusual, but it once again demonstrates the differences in approach of these two machines.
AA is available on the 360 for free. Its not the best, but its there and no developer needs expand any effort in getting it working.
AA for PS3 has to be programmed by the developers.As a result, it can be good, bad, or excellent, it simply depends on how the code and memory has been optomised. Better developers will achieve better results, and poor ports, will have no AA at all.

I'm not suggesting either approach is the best, but clearly building it into the system has resulted in a better qulaity of this feature for many devs. However, Sony's approach can allow the coders to create better AA, but only if they program for it! Theres an argument to be made for either approach...

Starting to see MP games looking better on PS3 =)
Devs are finally understanding it...
It started with Burnout and it keeps going.

no wait,not all gamers have been here last year as the filthy spew of "FUD" was spread by armchair 360 developers.

again,we see that ps3 is more powerful.

again,we see that ps3 can do anti-aliasing better,and still keep it's quality up.

again,we see developers say what ps3 gamers knew since launch.

PS3 DOES MORE.get used to it 360 fans.more is coming to shock your worlds.it doesn't matter when it's all about having fun.but don't ever say that 360 is more powerful than ps3.because you would be lying to yourselves.

scientists prove daily that ps3 can be used for anything(number crunching,raytracing,walking the dog,brushing teeth,finding terrorists like osama bin laden,etc).it just does more.

if one system is being called a "game system",and another,a "computer entertainment system".that should open your eyes to the truth.

more truth to follow leading to E3 and beyond.

megaton...................... .

I'm just happy to be vindicated after all the abuse Sony caused the PS3 to face.

Sure it will. GTA4 after effects?...

will the sony club use IF it turns out to be all talk like so many times in the past, I swear sony loyalist are easily fooled, yep if it turns out better on 360 all the sony legion will grab their pitch forks and start chanting EA sucks!....again. ha ha everytime theres any ounce of speculation that ps3 version "might" have an edge, you guys say the same old stuff,

"ha you see NOW the tables are turning in favor of sony",

lmfoa you kids were saying that all last year too.

JOY

i dont know, i kinda herd it from the man him self that the ps3 version looks better. so dont go buy what a critic says just because its in your favor, i state facts, i herd it from the guy who created the game, so there you go, 360 dosent have a wide variety of games, only shooters, any gamer who wants variety knows that xbox isnt good for games or basically any thing else....ok maybe live but you still have pay to play your games on line, gears, halo 1-10, crackdown, mass effect, your better games right? all shooters right? o wait theres still blue dragon right? i like variety of games and grand turismo! socom! the getway! tekkens awesome too, those are some of the old exclusives and the way i see it ps3s always been about variety and quality. just look at our line up, look at the game that already out.

i think people are getting a bit carried away with all this "better this better that", the ps3 was always meant to be ahead of the 360 in terms of graphics so now that devs are getting to grips with the hardware the tide does seem to be turning although the differences are very marginal, but does a few jaggies here and there make the game better or worse to play? only the hardest of console fans will take pride in these little differences but the main stream population dont notice that this game has an extra tree or that game has six people instead of five, as long as the games are good thats enough for the vast majority of gamers

Those wack "early 2007" uninspired multiplats don't even compare to the real "next gen" multiplats that PS3 will be the top dog for. Every since last Fall PS3 has had the best.

And there is no spin that will make the "???box" look great now. NOTHING. :) Welcome to 2008.

No surprise there.

PS3 da future

Ok Im getting confused here.. There are devs coming out of everywhere saying the Ps3 has more power and the blu ray is a plus.. blah blah.. but yet all these devs are still making 360 there lead platform.. Especially when some devs like the Burnout guys have stated Ps3 is better for a lead platform..

Guys like this and EA.. Personally I think are lazy.. They are takin the easy way out and developing for 360 first since its easier in the begining.. When Devs do that Ps3 gets effed and has frame rate problems..

Now im happy THEY are saying IT will be better.. But being a PS3 owner.. I know what happens when the 360 is the lead platform.. PS3 owners get gyped because the Devs are too lazy to make the PS3 the lead platform and then porting it to the 360, which some says gives the 360 a better game after being ported from the ps3...

have earned a little gloating rights lately.

not the fanboys, but the fans, that have had to put up with quite a bit of sh*ttalking from both the Nintendo and MS camps for the past two years.

all we heard was

"PS3 is too expensive" (fixed)
"PS3 has no rumble" (fixed)
"PS3 has sh*tty online" (anyone who's played on the PSN knows that, minus a few little perks, the PSN is GREAT for online gaming. better than friend codes, that's for certain)
"PS3 has no games" (just a flat out lie, but there are plenty of good games coming now)
"Blu Ray is OBVIOUSLY going to lose" (yeah, we know how THAT one turned out)
"DVD is plenty for games this generation. Blu Ray is a waste of money" (MGS4 and plenty soon enough beg to differ; also, Uncharted wouldn't look like it does if it couldn't store all that info on a larger disc; it uses up 24 gigs)
"HDDs aren' required for games on the 360" (better performance in GTAIV on the PS3, thanks to that blown out of proportion by the haters mandatory, 5 minute install beg to differ)
"Gameplay over graphics!" (last i checked, Uncharted, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, GTAIV, Ratchet and Clank Future, and Call of Duty 4 were greatlooking AND great playing games. graphics and gameplay don't have to be mutually exclusive because Nintendo says so)
"1080p games are never going to be seen this generation" (so many games beg to differ i won't even go into it here. Ninja Gaiden Sigma, which is 1080p/60fps does say hello though)

Sony was criticized for EVERY SINGLE THING they did with the PS3, and just about every single one of those criticisms have been proven, with time, to have been a good move.

including an HDD standard: good move
including Blu Ray: good move (for both movies and games; two birds with one stone ftw!)
free online: VERY good move.

developers are finally getting their heads out of their @sses, and taking on the challenge that is developing for the PS3. obviously, they get favorable results when they sink the time and effort into it.

as an aside, not that i never said that the 360 and Wii were "lame" or "inferior" systems throughout this post, only that a LOT of people have been wrong about the PS3 and it's capabilities, and they should man up and admit it. it's a more than capable console, and Sony's foresight is proven on nearly a weekly basis.

first Burnout Paradies, Call of Duty 4, and Devil May Cry 4 showing that the PS3 is more than capable of running games on par with the 360, but now GTAIV runs better on the PS3 (and looks better in some cases, ie, Anti-Aliasing), and Mercs 2 may possibly look, and/or perform better on the PS3 (i'm pretty sure the standard HDD has a lot to do with this moreso than Blu Ray)

it's unfortunate that, while Sony seems to be ascending, Microsoft has hit one stumbling block after another (Red Rings, extended warranty costs, X Box Live constantly going down), as they've been the best competition Sony has had since they entered the gaming industry. the competition keeps everybody on their game, i just hope that Microsoft exercises a lot more foresight with their next system. the 360 is more than capable of duking out this generation of consoles, but as an X Box owner who was burned when Microsoft unceremoniously dropped the original X Box in favor of the 360, i don't want them to have a repeat of that.

on topic, i loved the first Mercenaries game (i'm still beating it, actually), and i'm keeping an eye out for this one. no matter which console it's on, i'm sure it's going to be a good time (just like GTAIV).

Once again, it goes to show that PLAYSTATION® 3 is the preferred system for developers. Dark Sniper would like those subjectively on the fence to know that any multiplatform games that are of meaning perform far better on PS3.

The Xbox 360 has it's advantages. Dark Sniper has heard that Conflict: Denied Ops runs better on their platform. Enjoy.

$niper

Uh, Oh... this starting to turn the table on Sony favors. Now, now, this only the beginning??? don't u think so guys? ^__^

WOW....a developer saying the PS3 can do ANTI-ALIASING better?

But but but but teh 360 has "free" 4X Anti-Aliasing and teh teh teh 10MB EDRAM !

I feel a change in the winds....

Gone are the days of the crappy ports.

Developers now know how to program for the ps3.

difference will be minor if any.

so the games

Mercs 2 is going to rock but won't get the appreciation and love it deserves.

GO SONY!

I agree with all the games the author listed. It's not very often that happens.
