Yeah i guess thats the reason they included exclusive DLC.

2K:Sorry your Version is the worst of the three BUT HEY at least you get Exclusive content!

Yeah thanks alot 2k!
Id rather have a great looking/playing game than some content that more likely will be available to the other platforms in less than a month!

At least the PS3 gets exclusive content as a trade off for the inferior version.

Besides, I don't usually stand and stare at the ground or trees looking for bad textures when I play games.

Let's just move this game to the inferior PS3 multiplatform pile and move on.

It's a demo and not the full game morons. Can be a older build.. Start thinking for once.

Yeah, and you all said I'd be wrong. Heavens this site is shockingly stupid sometimes. I told you all this would be the case. you took bubbles. Said I was trolling. And everything came down just like I said it would. Lunacy. You would think Sony would step in, like someone from quality control, and try to resolve these instances. Games shouldn't look this bad on their system. It makes them look bad. From a business stand point this isn't good business for Sony. And if I ran the department in charge I'd tell 2K they couldn't release their game on the system because it doesn't meet quality. Nintendo did this by slapping a seal on their boxes. Saying, basically, they approved it. This is lunacy. Stupid Lunacy. Ps3, yet again, showing it's out gunned.

PS3: it only does everything - Unless everything means running a game on par with the completion. Then you might need to give it a glass of water and set it down for a long talk. Give it some Pristiqe while you're at it.

I've seen a few comparisons, and the 360 does appear slightly better in them all.

Still in general, both consoles should be producing better, they're both capable of it.

But it only does everything, right?

I played both demos and the PS3 one does look washed out. I'm guessing this is why they are offering the free DLC aswell. It's a big shame PS3 owners are getting burnt like this.

How does the console with the better hardware have inferior graphics? I will never understand this. Good thing I'm a PC gamer :-p

Not surprising. If there is ever a PC version involved the 360 version is always the superior version, since the 360 is so similar to the PC.

I was surprised how bad the PS3 version looked. I have not been able to try the 360 version since I am not a Gold subscriber, but I'm sure it'll still look terrible compared to the PC version.

Um so? You guys are acting as though 360 owners are getting KZ and we are getting Megaman. The graphics are not THAT much of a difference. You guys put to much emphasis on graphics nowadays. I think the only time we should be talking about graphics is when its an exclusive. (KZ, AW, Gears, U2) also i have RDR for PS3. SURPRISE! it doesnt look like shit. damn this is just getting ridiculous nowadays...fighting over grass

both console versions look meh and yea the PS3 looks more meh than the 360 version..
another developer screws the pooch and will lose out at sales, thats the message

i'm not getting it too many games above it on the to-get list.

All over again. 5 years on and they still can't be bothered to make the games look equal on both systems. It really just can't be the dev's being lazy, the PS3 really must be harder to work on or there wouldn't be these issues still going on.

Hmmm...

I wonder why.

As usual... the PS3 gets the multiplat shaft. But, also as usual, the differences aren't the game destroying monsters they're made out to be on N4G. I'll take the PS3's free online and superior exclusives along with the marginally inferior multiplats any day of the week.

PC version for me, thank you very much.

I refuse to play a series that originated on PC on a console anyway.

if i care much about 3rd party games graphics i would get the PC version specially for this type of game which once you complete the single player game there is no reason to keep it any longer.

still funny how the pirated pc & 360 versions are going to look better (not so much the 360 version as it still looks sh!t with screen tearing) than the retail PS3 version. LOL @ 2K

uh i was actually interested in this game. Now i might not get it, the gameplay was horrible.

You guys say such ignorant things. Who on the Ps3 side said that Bayonetta sucks becasue we got the crappier version? It is no wonder these conversations always become fights. Everyone acts like we shouldn't be outraged that we get the short end of the stick because of these idiotic third party developers still can't get the PS3 to work right for them after all this time.i thought we moved past this a long time ago.How about making ours first if it is so complicated and the 360 and PC version afterwards if it is so blasted easy to do? How is it our 1st party people can make our games shine and all they can do is give us these tarnished versions of these games?

[g]rass? Wow...Internet wins again.

This shit happens, deal with it.

This people that say that there are more ps3 fanboys that 360 fanboys on this site should read all the comments in this article and see the agree and disagrees because most of the 360 fanboy comments have more agrees than disagrees at the moment.

Edit: why the disagree what i said was true many of the 360 fanboy comments had more agrees than disagrees at the moment I saw them. What you think ps3 fanboys agreed with them to make it seem like there are more 360 fanboys or what?

the demo wasn't terrible, but i can't see the final game being great. i might get this used later on, but the graphic difference doesn't bother me because i don't have my 360 and ps3 set up on two hdtv's side by side.

on another note: the industry really needs a steady stream of multiplat games to come out where both versions are exactly the same so that there's a new standard. it's really unacceptable where they just send out a sloppy port of one just because they know that they can. it might be harder to program for the ps3, but it can be done, and there's no reason why they should takes steps even things up. it's unfair how they'll sell you a lesser quality version of something for the same price. if those sloppy ports where $20+ cheaper you can bet your ass they'd work harder on them.

If i buy it i'll have to pick up the pc version then. played the 360 version earlier and that had a lot of screen tearing

a crappy port to the ps3?? really?!?!
...
blame the lazy programmers

really makes the comment from the sdf members look stupid on here, remember it guys, it's this one-

"it's not 2007 anymore" apparently it is.

on the 360 and PS3 and I agree it is a little worse on the PS3 version.

I have only played the PS3 demo and it is quite poor. The framerate dropped low during the warehouse shootout and the game had loads of jaggies on gameplay but not on cutscenes. Also noticed a lot of screentearing. I am looking forward to this game still and also getting it on PS3, just hope the game is better than the demo.
I like the look of the city and the gameplay, and hope the story's good. But c'mon, nowadays games shouldn't be as flawed as this.

But I'll buy it on my ps3 when it's $6.99. I prefer trophies and duelshock over achievements and my unresponsive Xbox controls.

I only pay $60 for games who used advanced programming that utilizes the ps3s power like crysis 2 and not port off the weak Xbox.

Call of duty is good because it runs good on both consoles. Games can't be ported from ps3 to Xbox because of the power and the media. But already developers are tending to lean toward the ps3s power, like that fat goober from valve stated "portal 2 is coming to ps3 and it will be the best version."

if I wanna play gears I play my Xbox

if I wanna play a good multiplat I play my ps3

if I wanna play a shitfest like dark sector or mafia 2 I still play it on my ps3
but I won't pay over $10 for the fukin thing...punishment for those pissant developers but gotta get my trophies.

Sony exclusives= PS3. Nuff said. Checkmate. geeks.

makes it to the 150k mark sold on PS3 they should be
happy releasing a peace of crap port like this.
Just sell it for 29.95 and i might buy it... NOT**

PS.2K Games what were you thinking?

Pssh, no multiplayer is a automatic fail for me. Didn't even bother downloading the demo. Getting tired of crap devs, if u still can't make a ps3 game the right way after 4 years. It's time to look for another line of work

Wow fanboy`s grow up and enjoy what you have already

OMG NO GRASS. What will I do!?

I'm getting the PS3 version. BAM.

I'd like the see the spu usage PS3 wise etc.

Thought it would look alot better on all 3 systems tbh.

This game is crossed of my list now. To many good games coming out to even give this game a 2nd look. If only every developer had the same amount of talent that Naughty Dog has we wouldn't have such awful looking games :(

i dont catre about it, ive got a pc,360,ps3 and im gonna get it on ps3.

So...?
PS3 owners have always been receiving bad ports or worst version when compared to the Xbox 360. Some people are still surprised by this but am not lol
Just buy the game the difference shouldn't be that large

What is the frame rate like on the PS3 and xbox? Is it solid on both? I hate a low frame rate more than anything.

Overall i enjoyed the demo the game itself is really good i think. How about we just forget about the errors in the game for a moment and discuss how the game is itself and gameplay. I love the theme they used and how the story seems its gonna take place in the world seems amazing. I never played the first one but this game really has me amped i will not let a little bit of gimicks get in the way of me enjoying this game.

I think the game itself is going to be very fun and a really great experience for anyone looking for a GTA style type but in the mid 1900`s mafia setting.

Btw if you preorder the game for PC on steam you get the first Mafia for free. I will either go with the PS3 or PC verison.

I'v got one word when it comes to PC graphics.Overclocked. So nobody cares because its basicly cheating. And the programmers and devs aren't totally to blame. For one it's the game engine. It blows compared to the CryEngine3 or the NaughtyDog2.0. Part of the blame has to go on Sony because there are secrets to the PS3 architecture and they don't tell those secrets to just anyone.

it's nice to see 360 diehards like sak, omega and cez comes back from hibernation. not so much good news for 360 but it look like they will settle for this.

Good thing this game is not my type. god how I hate gta like games. and these developers should learn how to develop for the ps3. its has been 4 cursed years since its launch.

Wow... I made my comment above before actually playing the demo. I kept waiting for the framerate issues... got to the fire and said ok here they come, surely... no... got to the second part with fire and said ok, here they come, surely... no. The problem is not how it looks. The problem is that it's yet another GTA clone with little to distinguish itself, beyond the setting and centerfolds. I'll rent it to check out the... ummm... setting.

not another one of these discussions... alright chalk this one up with the other 100's of the same exact conversations N4G has had on this already...

in short... studios should do a better making games look identical on both consoles because PS3 is capable of doing this its only the devs not wanting to adapt the engine to the PS3.

then we wouldnt have these discussions.

Im sorry but everytime a article comes out saying a game is better on the 360 then tihe ps3 is stupid so shut the hell up ps3 yes better in every way and the 360 is old news so that's that
Still gonna get maria 2 for the ps3 and im sure it will look better no matter what the xbox fanfags will say

Could of played it on either console but downloaded it for the PC. Played it several times, looked and played awesome....

i love how this gen is all about who has the better textures/graphics blah blah blah.

I care about gameplay. Who cares about some stupid grass. Do you not get the full immersion because there is no grass in the ps3? no.

stupid stupid stupid. I wonder if this game is any good to begin with. If it is not, why the fanboy attacks on each other?

wow demo vs demo

Seen tho at the title it states THIS IS NOT THE FINAL PRODUCT
sorry for caps
but wait for full game

I will state the demo has really really bad frame rate problems on ps3
and if this is not sorted when the full game comes i will send it back

I find it kind of funny that the PS3 version looks so bad because fanboys are always bragging about the PS3's graphics. Too bad nothing the PS3 has comes close to what the PC offers. I don't give a shit about graphics, but I'd be embarrassed to brag how good the graphics are and not have the superior platform for graphics.

wow,and i had alot of promise for this game,guess ill wait to get it whens its half price now

Guys, RSX has less strength than Xbox's Xenox, end of story, this has been said time and time again by the developers. I blame NVidia for it. Don't expect multiplatform developers to go out of their way to cater to the less powerful RSX.

(I'm a Ps3 fanboy, that being said)

The point isn't RSX.

Cell_RSX is the systems way.

But if you do not have systems running on SPU'S and making use of them quite alot, you'll struggle.

Just like orange box, that game should have run easily 60fps + 1280x720. But it ran on only the PPE. No spu's were used.

As i said, i'd love to see the SPU graphs for this game.

Mafia 2 will be wack 360 or PS3. Chop it up to lazy developers.

Can we get some comparison pics of the Playboy?

LOL looks like i'll be skipping this pathetic excuse for a port. Develop the game first on ps3 or i'll keep shitting on your games Take2. Why don't you "take 2" and shove it were the sun don't shine. I'm sick of lazy devs who think they can get my hard earned $100 AUS dollars easily. Mater of fact! anything that comes out off Rockstar and Take2 sucks.

This generation has proved to be disgusting. Developers have gotten too comfortable a "port first, patch later" attitude. Gaming sucks this gen period! thanks to an inferior last gen console.

First off, those pics are taken offscreen with a cam and you can clearly tell they adjusted the color scheme on one of the TV's. Second, the ps3 arch is way defrent than qouting specs. The ps3 uses its SPE's defrenfly than just load a bunch of crap into the RAM. the ps3 streams derictly from multiple sources and the ram is only used to give the SPE's spacific commands for which info to stream. All 8 cores work in unison with the graphics card, boosting graphical performance. more than the loading it all into a ram and using the CPU to draw apon. This artical here http://www.blachford.info/c... should be the kind of stories up on N4G to inform the misinformed.

that first gif is crazy haha pc version looks so much better there for sure. I remember when i played the demo earlier and did the same thing of looking in the mirror and was like wtf, u'd have thought in games now adays they could give a proper reflection

..Because the grass looks different the PS3 version is inferior, yet the game is the same experience on all platforms?

When I'm playing a game I'm not going to be saying, the grass is taking me out of the experience, even though it would be nice to have more detail like the exclusives.

This is probably the biggest difference I've spotted in muli-plat games graphics comparison. The GRASS lol

Oh well, at least some of the major developers out there are turning the lead development do PS3... For example, Ubisoft's Assassin'S Creed Brotherhood is being developet FIRST on PS3 and then ported to the Xbox 360, that way you can get a good version on both systems (because it's a LOT easier to port to 360).

And more and more developers are doing this. thanks god... at least it will end the fanboy wars, or not. D:

Mafia II on the 360 & the PS3 sucked anyways. The Graphics are by Far trash, The view distance is weak & the Jaggies are friggen everywhere. Ill get it on PC they screwed up for both consoles

Holy crap... As if this comparison even matters. The 360 version looked and performed atrociously. Maybe it IS better than the PS3 version. It doesn't matter; it's nothing to gloat about. GTA4 looked better on the PS3 than this does on the 360! That message you see before the game starts better mean the final product will be so much more improved.

I dont know why there is a ps3 vs xbox 360 fight going on here. Its very simple in this case - both console versions suck, PC is the way to go for this game. I have a PS3 and I downloaded the demo yesterday and I was very disappointed, I will not be getting this game until it hits the bargain bin.

The demo is an old build. All versions of the game have the grass and now look the same.

Who cares which one looks slightly better? I bet they will look beautiful on all 3 platforms. This is flamebait.

These are my results :)

Everything is at maximum with APEX PhysX on High

From the looks of it PhysX works for everyone without the hack
With the PhysX hack you will see around 7 FPS increase only with non Nvidia systems

Also what makes the game lag is APEX rather than PhysX

Here how to get it running smoother

Go to your Mafia 2 Dir
\Steam\steamapps\common\mafia ii – public demo\edit\APEX

Move all files besides ones that start with “VIT“ and files named “m2skeleton” and “ClothRemapTable“ out of the APEX folder

Basically you will still get full PhysX and only APEX on Vito
It just removes APEX from AI so it improves overall FPS

I get more than double FPS with this on my HD 5850 and GT 240

Theres a artical that hasnt been aproved yet that shows the final build of the PS3 version and there is grass. Looks a hell of alot better than these offscreen shots of a old build. http://www.gamespot.com/ps3... http://www.gamespot.com/ps3...
