can't believe I haven't got this game yet

right?
Those Ps3 pics look horrible, I dount it looks that bad...

The videos say they both look identically beautiful.Screw screen shot comparisons and screw haters.Just enjoy the game.I'm getting it after I pick up Uncharted.

Xbox 360 hands down. Enough said.

ohh no!! looks like infinity ward has just been added to the ps3 list of boycoted developers. ps3 owners arent gonna like this at all.

the proof is right there an you guys still dont wanna believe it!! so be it!! WE KNOW THE TRUTH AN YOU KNOW THE TRUTH!! its whether or not you care to believe it or not!! but like someone else stated!! if you have to comb through it like this to see a difference then maybe the difference is a non factor!!

by the way if these pics were the other way around you sony boys would have a hard on from hell, screaming out I TOLD YOU XBOTS THE PS3 IS GOD, the end is near for these xbots an all that fanboy crap.you will learn one day. but ENJOY THIS GAME NON THE LESS!!

sad when you gotta revert to fighthing over textures. just shut up and enjoy the game.

lol... xbox 360 wins duhh... but shhhhhh... keep it down... we don't want Sony fanboys to know this... we've being getting AAA games on the xbox 360 and know what it's capable of doing... let the poor sony fanboys believe the PS3 version is better... if you paid $600 for a console waited this long to get a game like COD4 would you want to feel like a sucker for not buying a 360 instead? right then... let them win this one...

Xbox has more contrast to say the least it was clear from the video many have seen more than one source of comparisons. I'v read in here somebody said "Some think the PS3 version looks better and some say the 360 version looks better" , the only people that think the PS3 version looks better are Sony fanboys.

" But it looks better at home I'v been playing it all day" Obviously somebody went though a mad mans spell to zoom in and prove it once anf for all.

" but it looks good! not like that at home" Hardly any games are perfect when zoomed in so obviously flaws will show doing a close up regardless of it looking normal when playing the game at home.

In the 5th pic, that 360 pic wasn't even captured as good as the PS3 pic abd you can still see the stitching on the back of the seat on the 360 verion.

Speaking of the video I use my HDTV to look at the video(my PC is hooked up to my 42" LCD, and its clear you can see the differences.

EDIT:

LOL I get more dissagree's than the other people saying basicly the same thing. lol

some pics look better on PS3 and some of them look better on 360. ground textures look better on 360 and wallz textures look better on PS3.

lol... 2nd pic you can see more jaggies on the image on the right.

Of course the Xbox 360 version is going to have better textures and graphics, why is anyone surprised? the PS3 has to use lower quality textures because it only has 256mb of memory available while the 360 has 512mb of unified memory available

Yes Zhuk, it's no surpise that the 360 has better textures again. History has already proven that the 360 is a much powerful console.

What's funny is that Infinity Ward said that the ps3 was EASY to work for and they still couldn't get it at the level of the 360.

We have to assume the game was possible held back to match the console versions. Could be sweet talking fans knowing the fanatics would pic each version apart.

Anybody play Naruto? man that game is doing magic aswell it may be artoonish but alot of sh*t is going on to make it one of the pretties artoon type game on the market.(has the best foliage physics I'v personally have seen in a game.

I thought it was strange the 360 version of the game was hidden before the launch of the game(fanboys would have picked the game apart causing angry Sony fans not to buy the game.

to waste your money ! RED RINGGGGG !!!! YEAAAAAAAAAA !!!! RED POWERRRRR!!!!!

Did you know that making games for PS3 is hard ? and Xbox 360 is out there for 2 years and PS3 only 1 year. So Devs are learning to work on PS3 and I'm sure PS3 will have PS1,PS2's result.

-----
U PS3 fat kid Bubble me so I can talk better

It has 256mb ram and Xbox 360 has 512mb ram. So that is why Xbox 360 with 512mb ram cannot handle more rain drops because lack of having more memory. LOLLLLLL GOOD NITE PEOPLE

anyone else notice that on the second to last picture in the ps3 one the guys wearing gloves but the hand is bare in the 360 version

I dont know but those pics look horrible, on both screens. I have the game it doesn't look THAT bad. Those screenshots make it look like it's a Playstation 1 game. But seriously anyone who zooms in that close to nitpick should just stop playing games like....right....NOW!

Both have no gloves the PS3 version is washed out.

Has anybody noticed lots of multi platform game ads on TV for PS3? only.

Personally I think PS3 version has far better mapping than X360 version also I think the PS3 version is either running on different resolution(TV) or needs a magical invention Anti-aliasing

these pictures are way to low qual the video comparison I saw they looked almost the same.
Good news for all now if we could just get M$ and Sony to go multiplat we could sort this whole my box is better than your box thing the right way ;)

First it was:

"Bwuahhwha PS3 cant do ports...Its Hardware sucks!!! lol.. developers will never develop good games for it...!!"
Then..
"Bwuhauhwuaha 360 gets the better version since the ps3's hardware is so terrible. Xbox = better framerate and multiplayer..."
Now its..
"Buwhahah take out a microscope and look at the different texture filters on both versions!!!"

You guys are seriously blowing up images made from a snap shot off of some guys TV and this is evidence of what? Different shadow samples for the hardware?

Xbot or no xbot, you have to understand that if people are JUST learning the ps3 and it already is equaling THE BEST LOOKING and PERFORMING GAME on the XBOX360, that its not time to celebrate, after all.. there is no learning curve for the 360 is there?

It really is as if xbots cant let the ps3 go with having a good port. Ratchet comes out and it gets mocked as "meh, its for kids!!" Good thing IGN/Gamespot/Gamepro/GameDaily /Every other reviewer in the world, has tipped its hat and said the ps3 has an amazing multiplat.

These devs did their homework, its good to see third party developers stepping up to the plate.

ITs sad to see that this retarded flame war will continue to go on, I figured COD4 would put some flames away and gain some respect from the xbot base-camp, but I guess not... Not even equally reviewed AAA's on both systems can do that...

you guys are really ZOOMING in on TV's to see the difference... next up.. lets look at the source code!!

PS3fanboys have stood by the PS3's hardware, its been mocked and mocked to death by Xbots. COD4, as with Ratchet/Uncharted/Haze/Heavenl y Sword all show that the PS3's early months have been very good. At this point, you guys are just crazy zealots going after the ps3 in a personal sort of way...

Even after IW said it was identical, and the constant barrage of video comparisons showing the SAME thing people refuse to let it go. Uh play the game instead of wondering which one looks better?

When would you people (from both sides) get sick and tired of this 'comparison crap'?!? Does anyone of you freakin' fanboys play your games with your eyes almost literally touching the screen of your HDTV sets? So what's next? Comparing how the game's 'virtual molecule atoms' are rendered perfectly by both consoles?

The ps3's game looks better in play and thats all that counts. Whoever sits and looks at shat screenshots are wasting everyones time. Go buy the game, play, and enjoy what infanty ward have given us. This is the best fps of 2007. Put Halo 3 screenshots upthere and see how many jaggies are present, yet many xbots never complained about them.

oh wow. why would you even bother with these images, have you not seen the gametrailers video comparasin? i take video comparasin over image comparasin any day.

And FOAD Power Of Green.

Remember!! Everybody give negative feedback to Power Of Green, Mart, CHris gtr1 jokeonyou etc... they like negativity.

Anyhoo, I picked this game up today and although very good, Warhawk is way better online game. BY A MILE. Better everything.
COD4 best gfx yet? What a load of balls.

Then again I'm not even sure this pics illustrate two different versions of a game they might be the same version running on a different setup (TV, resolution, colour, contrast) who knows?

we do all know that both look more or less the same. this is stupid. =D its not like it even matters.

This discussion is seriously getting out of hand. I guess the Gametrailers HD comparison was'nt enough? No no no, one version has to be better than the other...it has too! I trust GT more than some PS3 fanboy with a lousy digital camera.

Heh I was kind of expecting the opposite when I first saw the headline.

In any event does it really matter? Side by side when playing both games they look so identically that I never would have been able to tell the difference had it not been for the label on the screen. And while its niffty that you can press you nose against the TV and see a difference, in the end who cares as they are both fantastic games that look great.

I want real side by side screenshots not blown up pix that nobody will notice. Oh and how you guys isn't talking about how much better the PC version looks? I run mine at 1080p with 8X AA LOL!!

My PC pwnz0r the weak console, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! KTHXBYE.

Stupid fanboys and their pointless flame wars.

these are like youtube quality, so trying to judge them is pointless. get some HD screenshots, geez...the demo was flippin awesome tho!

BTW I am sad to report UT3's gameplay is just simple run and shoot, like the typical fps, I just tried the demo...disappointing...amazing graphics...disappoining game play style, I expected it to be more like an advanced version Gears, (which graphically it is) but it ain't. And no I have not played the previous versions, so yes I'm an idiot (sorta).

...if you have played the game on either console you probably won't give a flying f**k about these COD4 flame wars anymore. You'll be too busy enjoying the game for what it is on your console of choice.

I think we should round up the low lives that approved this story and kick their sorry asses off this site.

どんぐりのせ～くらべ

Did anyone notice all the free online in all those ps3 pictures. LOL

these comparison are freaking annoying and lame. 1st we get low res videos now pictures which can be easy to edit. All you need is lower resolution in photoshop.

PS3 is really struggling.

OH MY GOD THIS LITTLE PIXEL IS A BIT BLUER THAN THIS ONE OH AND THIS ONE HAS ONE PIXEL LESS JAGGEDLY LINES

Shut up. All of you. No one cares. Just play the damn game.

But... aside from that, I'd really like to know the framerates...

This is all just plain funny because many PS3 fangirls before the release of COD4 said

That the PS3 version would be superior to the 360 version. On first sight they look on par, so my question, how do you explain the great PS3 version then. When you look at it closer, like these screen comparisons, it's clear the 360 version is on top in textures, FSAA, detail, sharpness, colours, you name it.

So the 360 version is superior to the PS3 version once again. My question another time: those same PS3 fanboys that told me or in general the COD4 version of the PS3 would be miles better then the 360 version. Where are tha now, I haven't heard from you since the comparison videos and pictures are out.

After all that hype of 1080p and superior this or that...

The pics are smoother, slightly more defined and less jaggy on the 360. Who would have thought after the hundreds of hopeful sony fans bashed and prayed and trolled....

oh sony. What has happened?
(Maybe if we WAIT some more....until 2009 was it?)

360>ps3 again.
SPANK!

the game comparison videos showed no difference, so now we have to look at textures, what we gonna get tomorrow?

f*ck sake will some of you every be happy? if your not content with your version on your system dont play it, but dont moan about it either.

AMAZING GAME ON ALL PLATFORMS. just play the game already and forget whos shoe lace textures look better.

I agree with Mart. X360 has better textures than the PS3 one. In the 3rd photo, Ps3 ver is HORRIBLY pixelated. I think Ps3 has a heavy amount of aliasing. And in the last picture, the quality of texture the head rest in the 360 one is WAAAY Better. Dont have any next gen console( Guess i'll pick up the 360 after seeing this!)... plus its cheaper as well! I'll just go back to playin on my PC( Its armed with 8800 GTX ^_^)

The video comparisons look identical

Lighting is better on Ps3 and colours. Look at the gun in the first pic.
Also the patterns on the car seat in the last pic are more detailed and defined on the Ps3. Images on Ps3 especially the guns are also sharper. The quality of the screens are so bad anyway there is no point in these comparisons.

I'm a 360 fan but this slight difference is nothing to have a parade about, come on Mart just let it go, yeah I know you're right many sonykids have been screaming that ps3 version will be much better based on 1 comment from IW, but the bottom line is honestly with both games running side by side none of us can really tell the difference, so imo we should just give credit to IW for making such a kick ass game on both consoles, I'm glad I have a 360 but I don't mind seeing my fellow sonykid gamers who I love to hate get a bone every now and then, lmfao sonykids welcome to AAA next gen game with no delay, you guys should be some happy mf's right now, us 360 owners are used to this feeling=

JOY

You people are a bunch of douchebags.

Seriously, ALL OF YOU.

GET A ******* LIFE YOU LOSERS!

GOOD GOD!

GET A LIFE.

Some of you are the most blatant fanboys in a world full of fanboys.

I am sure many of you wear xbox gear and clothing so I will just stay away from the insults but GOD!

this world sucks....

I will go ahead and agree with jokesonyou here.

Both version are okay, and we should be more worried about the craptastic textures in this game on both sides.

Most realistic game my ***!

All i've heard for the last 4 weeks is how much better the PS3 version was.

But now it just looks like IW played the Sonyfans like little B!tches

I will be getting my 360 copy tomorrow. Complete with textures, rumble, friends list and achievements.

AND ON AND AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND AND ON AND AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND AND ON AND AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND AND ON AND AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND AND ON AND AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND AND ON AND AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND AND ON AND AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND AND ON AND AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND AND ON AND AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON

Well, except for the mighty douche. You are a HUGE douchebag. That is, eh, a compliment.

is a lack of bump mapping in the 360 version, especially picture 3. but we're splitting hairs here now.

but still, who cares you'll never notice any difference during gameplay and isnt that what matters???

just be thankful they didnt do a 360/ps3 Vs PC or thered be some serious moaning going on. well, more than there already is.

There is a smaller amount of memory so textures have lower resolution on PS3. I guess XBOX360 version could be much better but they did't do that becouse of multiplatform format - they need earn money on both consoles.

The walls look more realistic on Ps3. I didnt notice at first but if you look carefully they have a rough texture. The 360 looks like wallpaper you should notice it if you look carefully. Im starting to favour the Ps3 screens more after noticing this. The Ps3 version is using bump mapping and the 360 isnt. Thats why the textures look more realistic. Sorry xbots the Ps3 version IS the superior version.

Damn!
You all people are like kids!
First there are fights of which system has better games.
Now when you both got it, your at it again with who has better graphics, animation ...........!@#$%^&*

Why don't you all just forget about this kiddie talk and be reasonable people like adults.

By the way no markable difference can be made from the above samples!

Do the comparison yourself. Go watch this gametrailers video. Slide up to the point where you enter the city at night (with the roadsign saying Autostrad). Scroll back and forward while in pause mode to the PS3 and 360 version.

Especially look into the distance. Smoke is better on the 360, trees are sharper on the 360, the buildings in the far distance look blurry on the PS3 and crisp sharp on the 360. There are more of these comparison points in the video where it shows (for example where the officer is talking to you/watch the face & sharpness, but also in the shooting area, watch the gun), but this one is the best example.

They're very close, but still the 360 version on top. That's just the conclusion simple as that.

http://www.gametrailers.com...

EDIT

To the one below:

As I said, they're close, but at the points I mentioned, switching forwards and backwards you will notice the differences, if your eyes are ok at least. The trees, buildings in the distances are sharper/less blurry on the 360 version, the smoke is more impressive on the 360. If the footage runs you almost won't notice, thats why one needs to pause and flip back and forward.

Fanboys are idiots! This is nitpicking! Those differences are hardly, and I mean HARDLY, noticeable by any average or hardcore gamer (fanboys excluded).

Stop approving stories which are here just to ignite a flamewar! We have more than enough idiotic fanboys around here...

PS3 seems to have a slight edge in models.. But what the hell is going on with those floor textures!

Please if you want to compare same game in different console it will be better to use a very hight quality picture...or comparing will show nothing...

But if you want the really good question ask about in witch platform the game use more console power to run smooth...????

good luck with searching... :)

Oh screw these screenshots. Compare the damn framerates already.

PS3 uses lower quality textures just because blu-ray is so slow.

Buying the 360 version for sure, live, achievements and better looks. Should be great.

Have a look at the smoke in this pic!

*On topic*

Looks like the Xbox Does have slightly better textures from the pictures, zoomed in like your 2 inchs playing from the screen.

*Off Topic*
I Actually don`t care lol.

....are from the console versions.

These are from the PC version with minor changes to graphics quality, gamma settings etc.

*I think

first of all i know that was not the ps3 version because i was playin it yesterday and zoomed in, because i was the vid. Second of all, even if that were true, the 360 version is just darker to hide nasty jags and stuff, its just saturation. Either way this flamebait just pwned itself

See if for a minute I thought the game looked like those screenshots for either console, I'd probably have to sue Microsoft and Sony for having crappy hardware.

Poor quality screens fot epic win.

I think the xbox is better on the first two and the PS3 on the others.

First of all, Please tell every dev, to tone down the magenta in xbox games, theres way to much of it.

Nice screenshots> NOPE

Not from either version. I think the bloke who took the ps3 pics, needs to stop using 480 sd rez.lmao.

Trying using 720p,1080p.

There are no jaggies in the ps3 version. If you had a ps3 you'd know that.

Full component was used xbox360.

Lower res ps3 was used.

Its as simple as that.

metascores 360 9.5 ps3 9.6

Ouch.

This is a comparison of textures isn't it? Not what has better AA? It seems you folks are confusing the two. While the floor textures are ugly when 2 inches away, it is fine during normal gameplay. The floor textures, ableit it slightly rough on the edges, does provide an appearance of seperation between stones. When playing 5-10 feet away, it is a joy to look at. The 360 version seems to have flatter and less complex textures but is AA well. Whether you are 5 inches away or 5 feet away, it does its job of conveying smooth lines. However, the 360 version does have less complex textures. One needs only look at these screens to point it out. Again, you can have more complex textures that are less aliased. This is ALL that these pictures proof.

I don't think we should be too caught up in this. I can see 2 more articles coming out of this.

1. Which has better smoke effects?

2. Which has better environmental graphics, like rain?

At the end of the day, you have to think about macro level instead of the micro level. Graphics aside, is it the same game? Does it have the same framerate? Lastly, I think articles like these takes away from the credit given to Infinity Ward. They have done a tremendous job, let's not forget that!

Xbots must be delusional, all screens maybe outside of the 3rd go to the PS3.

good god I was joking about taking out the binoculars... seriously it makes more sense to buy the game based on which controller you like more

the last video game comparison I actually cared about was the differences between the SNES and Genesis versions of Mortal Kombat (one had blood the other didn't)

I have both systems both games and have played bothe the graphics are hands down better on the ps3 the distance is much more detailed and it almost makes it harder to see snipers in the grass not like the 360 where you can see them clearly. the ground is 3d also when you lay down there are barbed wire and rebar block coming up into your view. These pics are not at all good for both systems. I have a new 1080p mitsu dlp the tv has been porfessionally calibrated both running at 720p are beautiful but the ps3 has more polish, also the aim system and the shot registering seems slighty better too.

I know its hard to swallow but things are going to change in the next few weeks xbox is no longer going to lead in graphic because the ps3 is largly advanced over it.

Told the PS3 fanboys, less AA on your version, alot less. LOL 360 version is cleaner and more detailed end of story.

Whatever happened to just playing the game? With all the fanboys out there trying to find the smallest reason why their system is better than the other you have these stupid people comparing TEXTURES! Just play the game and enjoy it. People that do this have no life and suck the fun out of gaming. Just beat the game AND HAVE FUN!

come on! this is the reason why the ps3 is getting so much heat right now. too much hype, not enough product

XBOX 360 PWNS!!!

NUFF SAID!!!

Sorry PS3 fanboys!!!

What version of the game is the best because in my book if you have to spend some time studying screen shots of a game to see the diff then you sure as h@ll aint going to notice it when you play the game. Nobody stands around in games studing textures on walls trees or anything like that. Having siad that it is nice when you have a game come out and people brag on how there version is going to be better and the game comes out and they are near the same that always brings a smile to my face cause it just proves how being a fanboy can sometimes really come back and bite you on the as@

metacritic said....
since xbox fanboys loves reviews coming from metacritic here is the overall scores for call of duty 4, as of 8:30 this morning xbox is 95 and ps3 version is 96...

conclusion ps3 wins again....

how can you say the PS3 look better in them pics?.....

Look at them or use a magnifier glass..

I mean look at it...not that it matters much but lets be real here.

Developers have had extra time with the 360 and that same architecture is close to a PC if not the same.

So some guy is on the internet claiming to be completely non biased takes pictures with a camera and admits the quality between the pics are all different due to auto focus, angles, and flash but somehow these are definitive? There were once these guys that believed that they were talking to young girls on the internet too and when they went to see those girls they turned out to be police officers. This is absolutely nothing but flame bait. He admits there is no consistency in his pics and photoshop anyone just because he says he only cropped them means he is telling the truth when all the other major sites and screens from those sites show different??

Wow this thread was predictable

You mean 30+ creditable websites and magazines have all said that both games are identical, but you see all these differences. If he's using two TVs what are they? Are you playing the PS3 version in 1080p? I have the PS3 version and I don't see this, I will rent the Xbox 360 version tonight and do a real comparison, and on the same TV and same resolution.

wow ps3 has tons of jagged edges... i guess thats why it runs in 60fps
360 looks much better.
the detail on the pistol was sharper on the ps3 but the texture on the ground was way better on the 360
last screen shot was hard to see any difference, ps3 had a better contrast though.
score:
360 4x1 ps3

in some pictures 360 is better and in the last one ps3 is better and there is some that are identical!!
its like they are using different TV's!!

:-) 360 does it again but the PS3 does look good, so I have to give credit where credit is do.

IT looks like the last pic is zoomed in on the 360. I mean the words aren't even in focus. Seems suspicious.

Before I can play a game, I have to take 5 hours to count the pixels from some screen shot comparison from an unknown source - when the devs say something different. Good going there mate. Get a friggin life.

Stop posting this crap.

what a bunch of losers... i've been playing COD4 for 2 days straight now and your all still here arguing about which one looks better... when the games moving"because your actually playing it" you cant tell a difference.. sometimes i wonder if 50% of the people on N4G even play games.....well, i downloaded some new themes and i'm about to go download the uncharted demo and then its COD4 for the rest of the day..you kids have fun defending a game your not even playing

My man Gaz Shape up is all fuk up on the PS3 Version. Seem like the PS3 can't cut hair for sh1t lol! It seem to have a bad case of the Jaggies present in that same pic.

i think this constant micro-analysis of which hardware and software is just a little better is ridiculous. just enjoy the games. isn't that enough?
