Here we go again.

Only difference I saw was the 360 was brighter, hard to say if adjustments on the TV, in-game would have made them identical. Otherwise, I saw no differences, then again, I never broke out the magnifying glass.

Mr_Bun6417d ago

These comparisons are getting ridiculous. Are they trying to imply that if I have a PS3, but the 360 version of a game looks slightly better, that I am going to buy another console just for the minor visual difference that may or may not be seen on MY television?

NO_PUDding6417d ago

To be fair the PS3 version looked better.

Better contrast, better colour. Especially when it (the PS3 screen) cuts in when 'Isaac' is running away.

Beast_Master6417d ago

I barely see a difference. I like the darker PS3 version but that could be the just the contrast on the tv.

anh_duong6417d ago

the version that looks best depends not on the actual version but on the eyesight of the player and the TV and setup of the user.

DARKKNIGHT6417d ago (Edited 6417d ago )

HONESTLY:

when i play on my xbr5 with all my custom settings, my screen looks WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy better than what these SO-CALLED journalists put up.

then ill turn OFF: theater mode, motion flow, rgb unlimited, and superwhite and a laundry list of other video options OFF....and still end up with a better picture than what is posted by these sites.

When will the b1rds#1t from these birds, cease to cover the gaming industry?

Statix6417d ago

Usually, in such video comparisons, we see the 360 version have deeper colors and an overall darker gamma. However, in this case, we clearly see that it's the other way around, for once. This is probably because the testers actually did the right thing and turned on the "Full Range" option on the PS3 settings, and they also seemed to set the 360's black level setting to too low of a setting (yes, the 360 has Range controls as well).

SRU96006417d ago

I always purchase multiplatform games for my 360 for one very important reason: the controller.

I hate the PS3's controller, plain and simple.

I have to deal with it when playing PS3 exclusives, but I will not use it if I don't have to.

dantesparda6417d ago

I dont care what anybody says, i like these comparisons. The games look the same, the PS3 is actually darker, and therefore looks more colorful, but you really cant judge the graphics on that basis, because you dont know how their color settings are or the systems output is. But they look the same.

JsonHenry6417d ago

I think they looked the same.

If you want to do a real comparison - compare the console versions vs the PC version. And when you do you will know why I am buying the PC version! : )

Seriously - who cares? Just get it for whatever console you have. And if you have both get it for he one you think has the better controls.

No Way6417d ago (Edited 6417d ago )

These video comparisons are for two things.
1. It allows multi console owners to decide which version they'd rather pick up based on visuals. Or, if it shows framerate differences, or whatever else these stupid video comparisons show.

2. It's bragging rights for fanboys to say that their console version looks better.. even though half the time you can't tell the difference.

himdeel6417d ago

...of what could be when a developer actually puts forth the proper effort so one game on two different systems are mirror identical versions of each other. Looks the same to my untrained eyes. Good job EA.

Jacobite6416d ago

Thought both looked good lol or that just me

DaTruth6416d ago

360 version looks better... to 360 fanboys. The PS3 version looks better... to PS3 fanboys. The versions look identical to real gamers, but we didn't bother to watch.

GUNS N SWORDS6416d ago (Edited 6416d ago )

i saw no differences, well, only 1 thing, when Isaac was escaping the 360 version looked brighter. but, if you look at the vid again it's cause of the smoke effects. that was the only thing i saw.

red5ive6416d ago

my god, this game is scary as hell!!! gonna have to pick up a copy later. on which system? i'll never tell. lol.

timmyrulz6417d ago

I thought the atmosphere on the ps3 version seemed brighter but everything else looked the same (apart from the extra 3 stars on the x360 version )

SeanScythe6417d ago

yea same here although the ps3 had more space then the 360 did.......get it more space.

Antan6417d ago

Good luck to our resident specialist opticians on N4G who seem to be able to see things others do not.

Looking with my eyes i say........................... everyones a winner.

bouncybullet6417d ago

Tv settings would make it identical.

That video was so choppy.

at least on my machine.

No Way6417d ago (Edited 6417d ago )

Yea. I know, right? They should get payed for that sht. Just like.. analysts. They get payed for BSing. Haha. =)

@bouncybullet
Yea.. It was choppy on mine, as well.

Heaven_Or_Hell6417d ago

Maybe the PS3 has a better contrast in the end of the video...
Anyway it's pretty the same thanks to the leading on PS3

Leading on PS3 then port the game to 360 is a lot easier and it's a win-win situation for both consoles

dachiefsman6417d ago

hopefully that stays true with MGS4.

MiloGarret6417d ago

Identical, stop imagining things, all you accomplish is to attract flamers.

dachiefsman6417d ago

not very good with sarcasm are yea....

dachiefsman6417d ago

these aren't necessary any more.

No Way6417d ago (Edited 6417d ago )

They never were...

They've pretty much always been used for one thing. And, that would be for fanboys to have bragging rights about how much their console version looks better.

EA Cut Dead Space's Marketing Budget to Pour Into Mirror's Edge Due to Mock Review Scores

Former Visceral Games devs reveal Dead Space's marketing budget was cut in favor of Mirror's Edge because of mock review scores.

Knightofelemia500d ago (Edited 500d ago )

I wish EA would just release a DS2 remake. DS is my favorite horror game and DS2 is the best one in the franchise. But because DS1 failed to meet certain numbers EA scrapped the DS2 remake. SH2 remake was great rumors are Konami might be asking for another SH remake. The RE2 remake was great EA just needs to give it another try. But all they seem to do is shitty sports games that are no different from the year before. Change a few players, add different uniform colours, maybe change a team logo. Wash, rinse, repeat.

goken500d ago

Agreed. DS was great. But DS2 was even better. Would love to see a DS2 remake, though I would love to see a DS4 even more.
The problem with EA is they make easy $ from the slight changes to their sports titles like football FC games (whatever it’s called nowadays). People just lap that sh1t up.
Comparatively, games like DS which don’t sell 10s of millions, can’t sell them team player add ons and all the like, would seem a hassle to make and unappealing comparatively. Especially when you consider that most EA non sport titles haven’t actually performed well recently.

Pyrofire95500d ago

Dark Souls 2, Darksiders 2, Dead Space 2, Death Stranding 2, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2

chicken_in_the_corn500d ago

The Dead space remake was so good. Better than the original. Shame they won't remake 2.

__y2jb500d ago

I loved the original dead space but the remake I just found boring. Game design has moved on and the game really showed its age, just small area encounters repeated again and again.

DefenderOfDoom2499d ago

I bought Dead Space during launch window and I never bought a Mirror's Edge game .

Inverno499d ago

Then they went on to screw both games over.

UnbreakableAlex499d ago

I'd rather see a new and great Mirrors Edge than another boring Dead Space.

EA Japan Exec Criticises Japanese Ratings Board

An executive of Electronic Arts Japan has criticised the Japanese video game ratings board for allowing upcoming action game Stellar Blade to be released uncensored while EA's own Dead Space was banned in the country.

CrimsonWing69748d ago

He’s got a point. If a game is M-Rated, which is the equivalent of an R rating, I don’t get why you need to censor anything. The rating is the indicator of the content and the age appropriate. If it’s appropriate for adults… why treat them like children? 🤷‍♂️

Eonjay747d ago (Edited 747d ago )

This is about gore... not about anything sexual. And specifically I think it is about the realistic depiction of gore. Unfortunately I don't know the nuance of the CERO board or how it is relevant their specific culture (as a prohibition on gore may transcend age) so I hesitate to make a statement. Can anyone else provide insight to what kind of gore is considered unacceptable?

CrimsonWing69747d ago (Edited 747d ago )

Yea, I know this is about gore, but thanks for pointing that out.

My point still stands, if a game is essentially rated for a mature audience then why censor for them as if they’re too young to view it? Makes no sense.

To answer your question: Decapitation, dismemberment, like… anything gore. They have been censoring that since CERO was established. Look up RE4 chainsaw decapitation or any MK games that made it there.

Cacabunga747d ago

EA Japan? Wtf never heard of that

ZwVw747d ago

Yet, the Oneechanbara series (y'know, the game with half-naked samurai females slicing up zombies to bloody pieces) get released in Japan uncensored.

The CERO ratings board is an equilibrium.

Smellsforfree746d ago

This confuses me since I've seen so many gory Japanese movies and anime. For example, Battle Royale.

gold_drake747d ago

definitely has a point.

but .. its japan. are we really surprised?

VersusDMC747d ago

I don't know if the EA executive is going off the one close up of an arm being cut off in the demo. Maybe it's uncensored because it's the arm of a cyborg or it doesn't happen that often (didn’t see EVE dismemberment when killed in the demo) .

In the states there's a certain amount of swear words allowed to a PG13 movie before it is deemed R. So maybe it's the same in Japan for gore?

Eonjay747d ago

Yes I think you may be on to something. The violence is gory but I wouldn't call it gruesome.

Retroman747d ago

Ea Japan please make Knack 3
in the future

Eonjay747d ago (Edited 747d ago )

Does EA Japan actually make games at all? Or are they just a regional publisher?

Retroman746d ago

I'm sorry Japan Studio made Knack
