360 vs. PS3 - Dead Space-Off

Looks like EA has unleashed another brilliant marketing scheme that is sure to fuel arguments from fanboys about which color is cooler (blu-ray blue or 360 neon yellow?). Instead of releasing the same content for both systems, they have gone the Soulcalibur 4 route and released console specific content that should make your decision over which version to purchase that much more difficult.

Okay not really. It's basically a palette swap and neither really has any advantage/disadvantage unless your particularly fond of, or adverse to one of the color schemes.

I think I'm slightly leaning towards the blue team on this one…. but if the 360 had done 'Red Ring Red' I would've been all over it.

Yellow is an odd color choice for the 360. It could have at least been green?

"XBL pwns PSN"
Who gives a rats ass, this game has no online component!
FAIL!

HowarthsNJ6420d ago

Does the suit get upgraded as the game progresses?

knamelis6420d ago

MAR-TYR-DOM -

And Blu-Ray doesn't play a role either... but I still included it in my joke. the whole jokes is that im exaggerating the 'console wars' thing into something very inconsequential like a pallette swap exclusive character thing.

tongue-in-cheek. look it up.

Qbanboi6419d ago

I love the Neon Yellow, but i think i'm going for the Ps3 version, last time i checked the game was been made in that system.

TheXgamerLive6419d ago

Besides it doesn't even look yellow anyway's. Some "ignunt foo" wrote this I suppose.

If true then The Neon Xbox 360 Green would be fantastic to me, I'd def. prefer it.

navyguy216419d ago

Hey, EA, how about a little less color coding and a little more DRM fixing ok!!

bunbun7776419d ago (Edited 6419d ago )

I know from reading there are apx 6 suits to get in the game, it would seem that the suits themselves are different, not console specific- if it isnt EA saying this than its probably speculation.

EDIT---I take it all back! TY Marcus Fenix with your link down below--its an additional console specific suit.

Rusted6419d ago (Edited 6419d ago )

What a hell are you talking about you mofo?

BTW, the 360 color looks like urine. No offense, seriously.

villevalorox6419d ago

looks like a light green to me

BISHOP-BRASIL6419d ago (Edited 6419d ago )

LOL @ XGamer and Villevalorox

Are you guys really gonna try and distort a color to make the version for you console of choice look better? I mean, come on, this isn't even official, even look pretty photoshopped.

@ All

It could have been purple, orange or didn't-payed-the-light-bill Black for all I care.

I'm not buying this piece of crap before, worse now if they really trying to put this cheap attempt to get some media space/hype based on fanboy wars.

MiloGarret6419d ago

"BTW, the 360 color looks like urine. No offense, seriously. "

ROFL... I thought the exact same thing. If I cared about these things I'd def opt for blu one, but I don't so...

Do not approve this. Those are the character artwork recently revealed by EA. They are not promotional, your choice between the 360 and PS3 version is just that, no color specific console war crapola.

AssassinHD6420d ago

I am digging the obsidian suit. I think it is very sleek.

Rhezin6420d ago

between 360 and ps3 versions but moronic ps3 fanboys always seem to find a difference, do you really want to live for that? Where's the joy? Just play the freakin game. YOU started this war ps3 fanboys. You can be the ones to end it. Set an example. Let there be peace.... but if there's not going to be. I'm going to rain down HELL on you.

Veryangry_bot6420d ago

Developers never go the extra mile when there is no need to.

Be sure to turn on Superwhite OR FULL RGB (TV dependant) and you will see how PS3 multi platform have always looked the same, if not BETTER.

On the exclusive fronts, PS3 wins HANDS DOWN. Its exclusives are miles and miles ahead of the 3rd60 exclusives.

AngryTypingGuy6419d ago

More times than not, the only way to truly tell a slight difference between console version of a multiplat game is by pausing the screen and closely examining it.

That's why I laugh at everyone who waited to get a PS3 because they thought it was going to blow the 360 out of the water. You should get a console because of its games.

dukadork6419d ago

you're only proving 1 thing we already knew: multiplats are scaled on the lowest common denominator: wow that was deep! i'm totally fine with it, i just need them to be avaliable on my platform so i don't have to buy a POS console :)

but ps3 is now getting killer exclusives that the 360 cannot match technically, creatively, in scope, in scale and in quantity... it's a complete pwnage, i'm afraid

c'mon, you really wanna pitch too human, bongo jazool, f@ckable2, viva pinacollada, gears of nada2 against MGS4, resistance2, wipeoutHD, LBP, Killzone2, SOCOM, inFamous?

really???
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA A HAHAHAHAHAHAHA1
you xb!tches are funny!

Raoh6420d ago

from what i remember reading, yes you do upgrade your suit as you progress through the game.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle1d 3h ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga9d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer19929d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga8d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman8d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger8d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box9d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion8d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv729d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent759d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit9d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz1499d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning779d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
