How does it feel to be beaten out by someone without an AV?

my PS3 copy looks great

 

[torrance M]

I have both copies and when I A&B between both the PS3 version looks better.

I read that the ps3s version has more pop up in places. Its definitely blurier. Also the saturation is turned higher so the colors look more vibrant (you can turn the saturation higher on the 360 version also) The main thing the ps3 version has going for it is the shadows ..seems like everything else goes to the 360

popup is actually worse on the 360 without the install

 

[JT3]

Theres many places/people who state the ps3 version has worse pop up . Install is mandatory .

What I wonder is if the ps3 is so powerfull why did the devs not render the game at the same res the 360 could handle? It was given plenty of dev time by capable devs.

 

[wreakmayhem]

probably because they knew that the 640p -> 720p difference was marginal at best, but ran better at 640p. Not sure if the XBox360 can run at 640p

Out before ps3/xbox 360 wars start

neo gaf has a crazy thread about this with some screenshots

If your tv is native 720 p the 360 will look much sharper because it doesnt have to do any scaling. Im pretty sure if your tv is also 1080p its easier to scale 720p to that res than it is 640p.

so my xbox is running 1080 now, should I drop it down to 720 ?
