is it just me or couldnt that all be demo footage again? if you were to do a comparison of the full game you should probably show something farther in than the comparisons weve already seen...

jtorry6418d ago

Footage is taken from final versions of both games, not the demo. It's from early in the game to avoid spoilers.

Fishy Fingers6418d ago

Aren't 2K working on a patch to sort out the PS3 visual problems? Surely comparison should wait until after that. Or do we have to go through it all again once released?

Liquid Dust6418d ago

If you have questions about the patch for PS3 version, bring it up in the official 2k Forums. Here is the thread that discusses the patch update.

the funny thing is if they used the ps3 cell propley they would not have been any need for all this videos.!!!

try doing a mgs4 vs gears of war 2!!!!!!!!

Time_Is_On_My_Side6418d ago

Comparing games from similar genre doesn't make sense to the hardcore gaming community. It makes more sense to compare identical games instead.

u got owned6418d ago

I don't see any differences, same game, awesome game.

360 > PS 3 but it still looks great on the PS 3.

thereapersson6418d ago

The only difference is that there is a blur effect over the whole screen on the PS3 version, in effect making the 360 version slightly sharper. This has been confirmed by 2K themselves. The textures and framerate are the same, however.

Martini6418d ago

There is a reason for the smeared grease effect - we will found out more when Eurogamer does their "uber" comparison in the future if they do it.

peowpeow6418d ago

OMG agaiiiiiin
im sure ive seen more than 10 in 2 days

IQUITN4G6418d ago

Yes the PS3 version is without doubt quite a bit worse having just spent about an hour with the demo.Framerate stutters all over the place and that usual blurry quality you get from a lot of PS3 games

It's not the best of conversions and you definitely wont be getting a great version here.Certainly not unplayable though in this state and worth a try if you have a PS3 ONLY

This isn't a dig rather a stating of what i saw on the same 42 plasma set as what i also run my 360 on

morganfell6418d ago

Not a single stutter in the PS3 framerate and anyone that actually played the demo knows this.

crillyconlig6418d ago (Edited 6418d ago )

i noticed this with my old ps3,framerate wasnt brill, my new ps3 tho its perfect, what ps3 you got?

bouncybullet6418d ago (Edited 6418d ago )

It's not the framerate that make the PS3 version worse.

It's everything else.

Textures.
And the fact that everything looks dull and blurry instead of shiny, glossy and clear.

The contrast has been sucked out of the game somehow.

And this is something that was even admitted by the developer.
They tried to spin it as a way to steady performance.

Cynical-Gamerzus6418d ago

Im still not convinced because the video quality is so crappy..
Im thinking there had to be some sacrifice given the Cell/RSX complexity and limited Video Ram on the PS3???
The game on the PS3 does look a bit blurry and not crispy as say Uncharted???
is there something going on here???

digger186418d ago (Edited 6418d ago )

Yup after viewing that video, the 360 owns the PS3, but its not down to Cell/RSX and limited ram on the PS3 like you said. Its just that the PS3 is not as good at handling the game engine as the 360 is.

Take a look at Dead Space, after looking at these pics, you can see the PS3 is more than capable of handling graphics.

Masta_fro6418d ago

i wish i was really small so i could see those images in a large size.

bouncybullet6418d ago

Those dead space suits are different.

The 360 pic's suit has way more stuff on the back.

Is it supposed to be the same suit?

Because the 360 pic shows a bulky baggy suit.
And the PS3 shows a thin spandex looking suit with less details on the back.

Next ‘BioShock’ Game Changes Leaders After Development Turmoil

The fourth game in the ‘BioShock’ series has been in development for more than a decade

Bioshock is one of my favourites franchises. I love all 3 games and have played each several times. I even have a room in my house that is loosely decorated around the theme of Bioshock (with a Lighthouse, coral models and postcards styled as though they are from both Rapture and Columbus).

And yet I am going to find it extremely difficult to get even remotely excited about any future episode in the series after all the problems this has had in its development cycle.

Leave the franchise alone. Remaster them again if you have to. Then put whatever talent you have to use on something brand new.

Furesis285d ago

Since ken levine isn't involved i'm not surprised what's going on. i'm more excited for his next game which looks like bioshock. Yet he still works under take2 and they are making bioshock 4 without him, strange situation.

toxic-inferno285d ago

Yes. Judas. Looks brilliant, but it's one of those games that seems to never have had a release date. Instead it's had release windows that keep getting pushed back.

Once it's ready, I'll be there for it though. Ken Levine is an excellent developer.

I get the feeling he dissolved Irrational Games simply so that 2k couldn't tell him what to do. It seems it will pay off, but I feel sorry for those who worked as part of Irrational before it was dissolved, who hadn't independently made a name for themselves.

ActualWhiteMan285d ago

He didn’t even want to make 2, that’s why they did it without him.

Rebel_Scum285d ago

tbh it wouldnt be a Bioshock game without development hell. They all had it.

Michiel1989284d ago

bioshock 2 was 2.5 years after 1, so much of a development hell it was......

-Foxtrot285d ago

"Remaster them again if you have to"

Well apparently they were doing a remake but that got cancelled

Relientk77285d ago

It sucks this game is in development hell because I love BioShock and would love a 4th game. I hope it turns out great, but I guess we'll see.

P_Bomb285d ago

Love Bioshock. It’s too bad what’s going on. At least we have Judas.

Yui_Suzumiya284d ago (Edited 284d ago )

It's been in development hell since 2014. This is nothing new. It saddens me because it's one of my favorite series. At this point, Judas may end up releasing first.

BABI-PANGPANG284d ago

Bioshock 4 (if it ever comes out) will probably still look and play like a Bioshock game, but without Kevin, it might miss that spark that made the originals so special. Honestly, Judas might end up feeling more like the real spiritual successor.

Remember there past attempts at game based show's i do heck i still remember that teenage resident evil trash fire.

anast655d ago

ha. I almost forgot about that.

Jin_Sakai658d ago

Might as well just cancel it.

just_looken656d ago

Unless its batwoman were they right it off

porkChop658d ago

It's 10 years too late for a BioShock film. The world of Rapture would have been perfect for a film. It's actually a good candidate for proper utilization of 3D, for increased depth rather than bullshit popping out of the screen. It could really show off the underwater city that way. But BioShock as a brand is so irrelevant these days that a film just doesn't make sense. Especially considering it would need a big budget and top notch effects to really take advantage of the IP.

gold_drake658d ago

i agree on the bigger budget. all the cgi they'd need for the background.

but i think it would work better as a show. a movie would be too short to establish the story

TheNamelessOne658d ago

Netflix greenlights anything, so that shows me very little faith in the project. Enough to just crap something out as they're, more and more, known to do.

badkolo657d ago

its where b movies go to live, its run by democrats , dont expect anything good from netflix

Knightofelemia658d ago (Edited 658d ago )

I'll laugh if it turns out to be better then the Borderlands movie
