Vanquish demo showdown 360/PS3

darkequitus|5755d ago |Article|159|

Platinum Games is on a mission with its upcoming shooter, Vanquish. In the wake of the disappointing reception offered to the third-party PS3 conversion of its last title, Bayonetta, the developer has switched to the Sony platform as its lead console.

"The PS3 is kind of like a sports car that's very high-performance and specific in its usage, whereas the 360 is more like a car that everybody's driving. It doesn't have the same range as a sports car, but it has more versatility," producer Atsushi Inaba told VG247 during E3.

I still remember the haters saying PlatinumGames are lying about how good the PS3 version is.

Good job PG! Nearly identical on both platforms!

That's because the PS3 version has V Sync turned on while the 360 version is just capped at 30fps, but has frame tearing.

Personally I'll take V-Sync + Triple Buffering > Slightly higher frames + Frame tearing

I do it on all my PC games, sure I can run something like Bioshock 2 on my PC at 150fps but without Vsync, the frame tearing is horrendous. So I force VSync and Triple Buffering to maintain a silky smooth 60fps

I was very impressed with the Vanquish demo. It seems that they really worked hard to give a good experience. The graphics look really nice compared to most multiplats on PS3, and I was delighted to find that my "safe spot" was actually destructible cover. I might purchase this eventually...just not at launch.

It's eurogamer, when it's "comparable", ps3 win in reality, and when xbox is "superior" for them, most of the time, it's comparable/equal.

" They did a really good job in making them as close to possible."

no, they don't, if you take hardware and exclusives for examples, ps3 versions have to be superiors, but ok, if you take for example uggly ports, it's good too see vanquish.

They're both sub-HD :)

What's interesting is the triple buffering on ps3 and the double buffering on 360, it's a very cosmetic thing but it does impact interaction with the human.

On ps3 you'll have a smoother image, no tearing but the response will be affected a whole extra frame at least. On 360 the game is slightly more responsive and also has some frame tear due to double buffering.

If that's the only difference then absolutely fucking-A well done that team for getting the ps3 up to standard.

My only problem with your comment was that it wasn't the ps3 version they had to "get up to standard" as it was the lead platform for the game making the 360 version the port and the one they had to "bring up to standard."

Either way they did an awesome job on both versions they are clearly both very smooth.

Do you know anything about porting games? Both systems have problems with multiplats,Xbox inferior multiplats - Final fantasy, dead space, assasins creed 2,dragon age, fallout.
Touting which system has better slightly looking multiplat games is ridiculous, now touting which system has the best looking exclusives, well you know the answer. its PS3. Its funny xbots say they dont care about graphics but when they get "a slightly better multiplat, they care"

It's clear you are the one who knows nothing about ports. The only reason the ps3 has a history of bad multiplatform versions is because the 360 is known for being easier to develop for so it was used as the lead for more games. Now as more developers gain experience with the ps3 and see what it is capable of they are starting to lead with it more and more and then port (admittedly more easily) to the 360. If they were not so concerned with making both versions of the game identical you would likely start seeing much more impressive ps3 versions instead of a game like this where the differences are minimal.

IHateYouFanboys5754d ago (Edited 5754d ago )

@catch:

its clear that you also know nothing about ports.

multiplatform games this generation, apart from games like Bioshock, FFXIII, and now Mass Effect 2, have NOT been ports. a port is when they take a FINISHED version of a game on one platform and then convert it to work on another platform.

what developers do is they have 2 teams, one who works on each platform AT THE SAME TIME. they will share code, in-game assetts, and ideas etc. they use the 'lead' platform as the one that they get things working on FIRST, and then use that knowledge and code to make that same stuff on the other platform.

again, this is NOT porting. its concurrent development.

there have actually been very few ports this generation, you could count them on 2 hands, if not 1. vanquish is not one of them.

catch5754d ago (Edited 5754d ago )

That is just semantics though. When you use one platform as a lead you still have to "port" that code to the other system and tweak it to make it work. They aren't exactly building the game ground up on both systems at the same time that would be redundant and wasteful.

The main point of my comment still holds true in either case. Historically it is almost always the lead platform that runs best the other version has to be tweaked to match or come close to the performace that was already optimized for another system.

I don't expect much out of the graphics. I do like the AI, diversity in gameplay options, and destructible environments.

I do worry about it getting boring, though. Will need to wait on some reviews to see if it's the game for me. If they can keep it up where I always have a lot of options to approach how to defeat my opponents and provide me some new capabilities as I grow, it may not get too stale.

There is no graphical differences. Game is sub-HD on both platforms and sport the same AA and graphical effects.

Game looks decent, has a lot of stuff going on, motion blur is awesome and the gameplay is crazy fun. I'm not very happy tho.

I'll get this game, for sure, but it is kinda sad to see how PS3 owners are almost begging for the next multiplat game to be "on par", when the PS3 is capable of much more.

Vanquish is a linear game and technically is right in the territory of games like UC2 and KZ2. Why Vanquish on PS3 is not full 720p? I'm starting to get worried that multiplat devels may never be able to use the PS3 potential.

Nice, Riki, you're getting your day in the sun with this awesome demo - seriously, Mikami doesn't disappoint (but Sega tends to do so)! I've gotta say, despite Bayonetta having some major problems on the PS3 (again, thanks Sega, thanks a lot), the demos for both of Platinum's games drew me into buying them. They just play so well - the control mechanics of these games are just unparalleled.

I'm not big on the steroids-and-dark-brown style that's dominated shooters in the past couple years, so when I started playing a colorful, fast, futuristic shooter where a giant robot set off a barrage of Bangai-O-esque missiles, followed by dropping grenades and kicking them my way, I was impressed. Granted that the full game has more of everything that was in the demo, this is a Day One for me.

I'm a fan of Clover/ Platinum, but they dumped a pile of 360 code in SEGA's lap and washed their hands of the PS3 version. That strategy doesn't work well for PS3 development, and SEGA doesn't deserve all of the blame.

They did a really good job in making them as close to possible. What I noticed is that the 360 version looked slightly crisper, but I did detect some very minor screen tearing in the part where you begin. For most of the demo the screen tearing is not present and the difference in the crispness of the image quality was also very minor. This is truly a good buy on either console based on what I experienced in the demo. I'll be getting it for PS3 since I want to play more multiplatform games on my PS3.

Another Gears wannabe. I downloaded the demo on 360 and it borrows heavily from Gears, right down to the games dialog...shameless rip off.

Gears is untouchable and while the lighting in Vanquish is nice, the overall graphics in Gears lays this game to waste. When you copy this much gameplay from a game like Gears, there will be comparisons. Just from a melee, weapons and enemies standpoint, Gears out right embarrasses this game, let alone the fact Gears has 4 player co-op, Horde mode and dedicated servers for the all new multi-player. How this is game gonna compete with that...lol

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

In terms of demo comparisons, I haven't downloaded the PS3 version yet but from what I've seen, they look very close if not identical. Running both demos/games side by side in real time would be the only way to compare...looks like a rental to me. You need a multi-player component in this day and age if you want to run with the big dogs.

"As it is, both demos operate at the same rendering resolution: 1024x720, with 2x multi-sampling anti-aliasing."

They are running at the same resolution. I did find that in order to get the brightness to match I had to raise the PS3 version's brightness +1 or lower the 360 version's brightness -1. This resulted in very similar brightness and contrast levels.

According to their analysis the 360 version has a slightly more solid frame rate, but it has some screen tearing. The PS3 version has no screen tearing, but it does have some minor slow down.

That does seem to fit with what I saw when I played both versions of the demo.

Maybe the PS3 has a slightly higher Anisotropic filtering? That's one aspect that isn't look at too often anymore.

Like Dragon Age, the PS3 had a higher anisotrpic filtering, hence the textures looked much much clearer than the 360, but that made it run with a slightly lower frame rate at times.

Things like this impacts performance, and idiot kids these days just see "OMG higher framerate??? It's superior!!!!"

Sheesh, I know you are joking but people place way too much importance on resolution. There are a dozen other things that are more important. There are full-HD games that look softer than sub-HD games, and there are also sub-HD games that look as crisp and detailed as any full-HD game.

Now, when I say full-HD usually for this generation of console games that means 720p. And when I say sub-HD I am still talking about games that are above the standard definition format of 480p. Obviously if you are going from 480i/p to 720p or 1080p then the difference will be a lot more noticeable.

It is really all about the overall graphics that they achieve. Vanquish looks really good, so that is all that should matter.

Don't really care as long as the gap is not as wide as the bayonetta fiasco. That was appalling for ps3 owners everywhere. Glad that everything now runs pretty much the same on both so everyone can have their cake and eat it too.

The only difference is the amount of screen tearing the 360 version has which isn't present on PS3 version?

great more multiplatform devs needs to do this more with their games than slacking off with pathetic ports.

Yeah it looks that way, but game is great for both platforms. It's beyond human comprehension why the Xbox fanboys are trying to claim victory over the FPS, when both versions appears to have the same FPS.

From the video the framerate looks to be the same for both. They both even drop down to 22 FPS at one time. Although the colors on the 360 version seems to be more washed out than the PS3 version from the video. I guess I'll get the PS3 version this time around.

Come on guys, the game is the same on both platforms. Instead counting frames enjoy the damn game!! The game is excellent.

These showdowns are really for the usual fanboys on this site that only have one console so they can brag about having the "so-called" superior version. I wish the guys at Eurogamer will think of a better way to gain traffic on their instead encouraging this fanboy crap to go on.

How can you even tell the difference with the game running at that speed? From my point of view, it was two identical videos running parallel with one another.

Thank you bro, you deserve a bubble for that. EG is full of sh!t it's hard to tell the FPS from either version, especially a game that has this much action going on screen. And they're not slick either, the part where they display you fighting that giant machine. In the PS3 version, they're moving and shooting at the machine which reality the FPS will take a hit. In the 360 version they're standing still and shooting and the 360 has a higher FPS?

Come on people!

You can tell on the playstation 3 version the developers are relying on the rsx to handle the visual representation because you can see the use of "QSAA " commonly used
with nvidia gpus.Also put into perspective blu ray is a actual hd format that can hold 50gb of uncompressed data so there is no need to upscale into hd where as dvd holds compressed data so therefore it has to be upscaled into hd & there is a noticeably significant difference via hdmi connection.Also having faster & more efficient main ram helps prevent frame drops which can cause technical errors such as screen tearing,lag ect..

IHateYouFanboys5755d ago (Edited 5755d ago )

wow, you really have no idea do you lol.

blu-ray isnt an 'actual hd format'. ANY physical media is capable of storing HD data - its just a matter of how much HD data it can hold.

HD video and HD resolutions for games are 2 completely different things, dont get them confused. HD video takes up a metric $hit-tonne of space, but games being in HD dont.

the reason its in <720p is obviously performance reasons. the same reason why MGS4 wasnt in 720p, and why alan wake wasnt in 720p, and why GT5 isnt in native 1080p.

given the choice between a better framerate and more responsive controls, but with a bit of not very noticeable tearing, and a worse framerate with no tearing but not as responsive controls, ill take the one with the better framerate/responsiveness every time.

even if one version was 1080p and the other was 720p, id take the one that runs better.

from the video of vanquish, im hard pressed seeing any differences (although of course videos dont show responsiveness, which they mention the 360 has the advantage in). looks like a good job all around.

PG should ditch the 2x MSAA and go with the SPU MLAA provided by Sony. It would probably allow them to use a full 1280x720 framebuffer, and yield the same performance, while having better AA to boot. 2x MSAA is relatively expensive for the RSX -- SPU MLAA is the way to go.

Bayonetta is the best game ever made by them and it's horrifying on PS3, Vanquish is a shallow attempt at making yet your stupid TPS look cool and it will perform fine on PS3.

I guess I was right. Luckily I own a 360, I still feel for people who only own a PS3, since they got shafted not once, but twice by Platinum Games (mostly Sega's fault but yeah).

At least they got the engine up and running for Bayonetta 2, assuming the game doesn't suffer the DMC2 syndrome. ._.

How is the playstation version clearly better?? Those who said it please enlighten me. They look identicle if you ask me. For a game that was developed for the ps3 the "older hardware" of the 360 can sure do a good job of matching it. I wonder how the ps3 version would have turned out if it was the other way around. Game doesn't interest me anyways but interesting comparison.

A.it's only a demo so therefore improvements & or changes can be made before the final version releases.

B.blu ray is not only a clear storage advantage but a clear asdvantage in visual & audio presentation as well because blu ray is a actual hd format for displaying true pixel per pixel hd display & can store uncompressed data for holding high res textures,high qauility audio samples ect..

C.the playstation 3 version is heavliy relying on the rsx processor in the visuals presentation because you can see the use of qsaa which is a antialising techniquie used by nvidia gpus which isn't bad but not as effective as mlaa.

storage is the only difference, "blu-ray an actual hd format" is a lie because you can have a dvd with hd visuals and sound but not very much of it. just like you can't tell me a harddrive can't to hd video and sound.
