Mass Effect 2 PS3/360 Retail Screenshot Comparison

NowGamer compare Xbox 360 and PS3 retail code with one another to confirm whether BioWare's 'improved engine' really stands up.

"After BioWare confirmed the finished version of Mass Effect 2 would be considerably better than its demo on PS3, we couldn't resist another comparison between both final builds..."

PS3 version looks better just like Bioware said.

and difference is pretty significant as well.
even Nowgamer says there is "clear" winner.

oh sir you must be blind,retarded,or just a fanboy.OR a combination of all 3

Tinasumsum5594d ago

I agree the PS3 version lost some of the gritty feel. Digital Foundry has some interesting words about the two versions.

FrankMcSpank5594d ago

TinaSumSum

By gritty feel you are refereing to the grain effect used to cover up the graphical issues? I like film grain sometimes(GTA IV LatD or House of the Dead OVERKILL) but didn't like it on the first Mass. It really only covered up the hiccups in the textures and such. I prefered how polished the PC version looked.

This should come as no surprise

they had a whole extra year to work and improve on it. Plus the playstation has more processing power.

On the other hand i am very happy that i enjoyed the game last year.

DualConsoleOwner5594d ago

actually they started working on it in August...

and they made the demo version by october which was released in november.

so technically 4-5 months to work on it which is not whole lot.

duplissi5594d ago

yeah but the game was already complete, so its not like they had to rewrite the story or build the levels from scratch... all they had to do was port the existing assets from the me2 engine into the me3 engine...

oh, i just realized this may very well be the first unreal engine game to look better on the playstation!!!

specialguest5594d ago

The PS3 version has a lot of inconsistancies in lighting and shadow. It's almost like they tacked on the new graphic engine without optimizing it.

malik : i was thinking to buy 360 just to play this game
thank you sony

gypsygib5594d ago

Thank EA and the fact that 360 gamers didn't buy that many copies considering the caliber of game, they bought more Fable 3 than ME2 surprisingly.

duplissi5594d ago

yeah WTF is up with that... fable is just... bleh its just too many ideas half baked... i will admit i havent played fable 3 but i just couldnt beat fable 2 it put me to sleep.... the first one was decent but #2, nah.

Feckles5594d ago

PS3 version certainly has more contrast, the shadows are more subtle on the 360 version.

ThatCanadianGuy5594d ago

Wow! PS3 version looks significantly better in all areas! I knew it was going to look better, obviously, but by this much? Good job bioware!

What ever gets you to sleep at night.

Zonsenzo5594d ago

i love how the ps3 fanboys that plague n4g just are blind, they even comment without having a look at the hole article. I also saw the video and I'm sorry to say that the 360 version had the same and in some cases better textures than the ps3, it has better performance and the lighting overall looks better than the "lighter and more visible" ps3.

Finally it costs less....

but the differences are minimal, even though I hate the fact that too many 360 exclusives have been lost to the ps3, its a great opportunity for ps3 owners to play this game, one of the best of this generation.

quiddd5594d ago

I'm still playing on an SDTV. Is the text issue still there?

Drekken5594d ago

They should dedicate a group of 5 people to code to cater to the three people in the world with SDTV's.

Buy HD.

duplissi5594d ago

what is this "SDTV" you speak of?

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!

The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result

isarai_lee75d ago

It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way

lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6

lodossrage110d ago (Edited 110d ago )

Wait,

The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.

NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.

thorstein110d ago

No. There were elections and some of the scum were replaced.

TheColbertinator109d ago

Different elections. Different scum. Same results.

rlow1110d ago

i know its a long shot, but i hope this gets shot down.

ZwVw109d ago

EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
