I really have a hard time telling the difference between both ports.
All I can say is that the lighting effects on PS3 look fantastic.
It'll be a beast on PC.
That's for sure.

Why do people even pretend that there is any difference in these comparisons. Just so long as one of the versions doesn't have a really unstable framerate then it's all good.

Don't matter. Skyrim goes behind the fanboy war that is old and played out.

Enjoy the game! One more day peeps!

Both look very similar. So it shouldn't be a big thing to worry about.

the excuse chart rundown for ( *1 input system of choice here)

-man, its so much better for *1
-yo bro, you can't judge something on an early build, that's like an old e3 build
-see, the problem, its the streaming issues...obviously they don't know how to code for *1
-I heard there's going to be a full install option to make it look better, I wouldn't worry
-wait until you install the HD texture pack
-theres a bug
-theres a glitch
-theres a patch
...then when all else fails after its proven that one version is better than another...

-but but but, as a true gamerz you shouldn't carez. there's basically almost no difference.

In regards to my other post in the video article, I take a step back on my point. The reason being is this game apparently has dynamic weather of sorts, hence something like fog effects will be different at different times.

Some PS3 looks better and others 360 looks better really hard to tell when the screens are not taken exactly the same because the lighting and stuff is changing constantly

In my opinion the PS3 version looks a little too bright in some places but to be honest they look the same

It would of been better to try and get the same exact screen from each game, guess you have to leave it up to Lensoftruth to do that

looks like he has the brightness up to much for the ps3 screens, both look similar apart from the brightness,noting i cant fix

Both look the same to me. But then again I'll be playing the superior PC version. :D

They both look pretty decient, But As I expected the ps3 still suffers the big 4.

1)Weak Black level shading
2)Weak texture res(*especially at drawn distances)
3)Weak color dept
4)Weaker frame rates, usually from 5 to 12 behind the 360.

I blame this solely on the the ps3's outdated 7th gen custom nvidia GPU, it's splitted RAM and with it's inferior vertex shader tech, and nvidia themselves admitted they trashed and stop using and went "unified shader" with it's 8th gen GPU's up to the latest, greatest gpu's to date. Go to nvidia Geforce gpu's on wikipedia and check the versions history chart and view the shader tech chart and see what gen GPU's made the change.

For any of you want to trash my comments about the PS3's gpu, might want to view the great, accurate & stellar 12 rd, "x360 vs ps3 console war" videos from the techno geek, I'm sure a lot of you probably seen this GREAT review, it's pretty old, at least 2, maybe 3yrs old. But I believe nobody explains the in's and out, positives and negatives of both consoles any better than the techno geek. For those who already see these video, just recap on rounds 4/CPU and ESPECIALLY rd5/GPU and then watch rd9/multiplats, but for those who never watched the console wars review I IMPLORE YOU TO MAKE TIME(*save to your favorites page for future references) AND WATCH ALL 12 ROUNDS. Believe me!! It's tells ALL in the most accurate details you likely to find anywhere on the web.

here's the link, Please watch and enjoy.

Both versions will pawn. The only difference is the X360 version has a one month DLCs timed exclusivity.

All torture yourselves every time a game comes out, it's pathetic really. Get which one you feel more comfortable with the controller or online pals, that's it. I mean the PS3 version of B3 was meant to be the slightly better version, and yet the 360 outsold it, so people obviously don't mind the odd bush looking a pixel better.

if there's any difference, it'll hardly change the game anyway.

In the end there may be a slight difference once we start playing but I don't really see a massive one here.

You can't compare different screen shots as the lighting is bound to change and the textures in both look dark to me but that could just be the pictures.

I dont get these comparisons though...Its not like someone is going to buy a new console for mild (if there) difference in lighting or textures.

The only difference I noticed are shadows. They are sharper on the PS3. Other than that its very hard to tell one from the other.

Both versions look great however textures seem a tiny bit better in the PS3 version. I am not surprised at all because the PS3 version of the game is 1.8 GBs more than the 360.

I am happy that Bethesda didnt screw PS3 owners over like the majority of fanboys were saying in N4G. Congrats bethesda for a job well done.

Now i can sleep at night knowing that the PS3 version looks great.

I'm convinced it indeed looks better on the PS3.
I've seen a vid on another website and textures are slightly sharper on the PS3, with select elements looking markedly better.
This is not necessarily a surprise since apparently it's still based on the same tech as their previous games, and New Vegas had slightly better textures on the PS3 too.

It seems there are also the same issues with load times getting longer as you play in Skyrim, as well as just being ominipresent. I've seen some videos on the 360, and load times are already pretty bad, so if it's worse on the PS3, it could be an issue.
So we'll also have to factor load times in the comparison.
The 360 version fully installed on hard drive almost always loads faster than the PS3's partial install.
But how will load times hold up on either console after extended playthrough.

I'll wait for thorough comparisons on both topics before chosing the platform I'll play it on.

In some pics ps3 looks better, in some pics the 360 and in some they look the same.

Conclusion: Pointless article.

You fools act like your life depends on it. Are you all insecure about your console purchase or what!? I won't spend one second running through this game thinking about the other console or pc. I don't care what a plant or light source looks like in this game on something I won't even use.

they look the same man these ppl could use a hand with art direction this game is down right ugly

The images dont even match up so you can't accurately compare the two.

Why is it not hard enough to get the images close to the same this comparison is a joke and clearly done by a novice with no common sense.

The difference is far too minimal, regardless of the console you're getting a bang for your buck.

To me the PS3 version looks more clear. The 360 version looks as if it has a smog layer over it or something.

Xbox version has the edge - it was the Dev platform probably why

Why is it so hard for people to do screenshot comparisons with the same exact screen for each version?

Either way - it is a cool way to compare the two...

ps3 version is million times better!x360 version is completely unplayable!well,it´s because i don´t have x360 so it would be stupid of me to get that version xD

PC for me. The 360 is years behind and costs yearly fees... sigh.

They look similar, but it's a pretty bad comparison. Hardly any of the screenshots are of identical views.

We're not doing THIS again. Please tell me we're not doing THIS again...especially over a multiplat that is also on PC.

PS3 vs Xbos screen comparison are getting old

another 360 win, maybe one day sony will be a winner again, but not now friends, not ever....

I originally had this ordered on 360 and then yesterday I switched it to PS3. I am so thankful it wasn't a bad decision. Something told me it was the right thing to do and although I'll have to wait a little longer for the DLC, at least it looks on par if not better than the 360 version.

I think we're all in for a hell of a time with this one, so lets game on and enjoy :)

I think the xbox looks better then the ps3 but the ps3 looks better then the xbox

Its skyrim people and it looks great for both..might be a few things in there but overall what i really care about is putting a blade through a dragons neck.

as if we hadn't enough of these,i am gonna kill my self if another one of these ever popup again and wtf with the pictures their not even the same and you expect us to compare them???

Consoles suck. Debate over.

Thanks a lot. My buddy told me that there were people on this site that would debate if a game looked better one Xbox or ps3. I didn't believe him. Lol. This is sad. And how about the guys who say "it looks better on a computer!" Lol. Wow.

So do we compare the pictures and say which one is better? No thanks I choose life

PC! Mwahahaha...
Seriously though, I know this is a console comparison, but I was surprised at how good the PC graphics are. With such a small installation size (less than half of even mw3) I was worried that all the assets would be low quality, but it looks damn gorgeous. With 2 gtx 460's I'm able to max it out, but it gives my rig a run for its money at certain points. Not to mention that the art itself has way more gravity than any of the technical properties, everything is clearly hand-placed with an obsessive amount of attention to detail. Bethesda have really outdone themselves here.

Seriously, I hate to be... you know "THAT GUY", but WHO THE HELL CARES!! Get the damn game, play the damn game. They both look good, and visuals are good enough and won't take away from whats really important... the GAMEPLAY.

And to be honest, with your REALLY that hung up on the Graphics, why you foolin with a PS3 or Xbox anyway.

I haven't read this article and i don't into , i couldn't care if one looks better than the other , i'm too busy playing the game and loving it.

All this does is make me glad I got the PC version, both of these look a bit washed out compared to what I played on PC last night.

6 years in and we are still counting pixels.

Here we go...

Pretty hard to tell much differences on this comparison, both versions look very close.

Well done Bethesda.

There is absolutely no difference in the pictures.

I would seriously not be surprised if this website is trolling the N4G hivemind, by just putting the "comparison" pictures from the same console over and over again, just to get tards to make up bullshit like "WOW XBOX 360 VERSION LOOKS SO WASHED OUT!!! PS TRIPLE FOREVA!" and "PS3 VERSION HAS HORRIBLE TEXTURES HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA!! YOU MAD FANBOYS?!?!!!"

So, on PS3, the camera and game are always in slightly different places than the 360 version? That's all I picked up from this article - thanks a bunch, NowGamer.

I've got the PS3 version, and things look so good that I'd love to see how it looks on a souped-up PC. That water in the first non-prologue town I went to, man!

The answer is...PC!!! lol. Pre-ordered my version for the PC and will pick it up first thing after work today. Moving my PC to the living room to connect it to my 50 inch 1080P!!!! I will be off the grid for several days, lol!
