Madden '08 Xbox 360 vs. PS3 comparison video

Oh yeah, that video is definitely much better. The part where you can really tell is right at the end when it shows them side by side slowed to 25% speed.

Sure. While we are at let, lets see which console will sit on store shelves for months.

Lets also see which console gets outsold by the fucking gamecube during its first year.

Lastly, lets see which console lost the most exclusive to the competition.

Spider Pig. Spider Pig. Does whatever a Spider Pig does. Spin a web... I wasn't humming out loud in a coherent way. No siree Bob I sure didn't.

As long it takes, Brian ;)
Problem it's not only Madden...

"The PS3 difference.: Sadly, just like with NCAA Football 08 and All-Pro Football 2K8, PS3 owners are stuck with an inferior version of Madden. While the game runs at 60 frames per second on Microsoft's box, Madden only clocks in at 30fps on Sony's console. The result? The gameplay isn't nearly as smooth as the 360 version and even stutters at times (see the difference in this comparison video). And that's the reason why we're scoring the PS3 edition slightly lower."

"For PS3 owners, this isn't as exciting. Madden 08 runs (sometimes) at 30 frames per second. It makes a huge difference, as you lose a lot of the subtleties in the animations. There are plenty of framerate hitches that will likely frustrate players. This can cause a lag in the Hit Stick sometimes. And, let's face it, no one wants to see a runningback pause for a second in mid air as the framerate stutters. You can still play and mostly enjoy Madden, but beware that on PS3 the game does not run smoothly."

"Closing Comments
Madden NFL 08 on PS3 is no a great game. It is a shadow of its cousin on 360. Though the feature set is identical, the drop to an unstable 30fps hurts considerably. The visuals and the gameplay suffer. If you are a real Madden nut and think you can fight through the framerate issues, Madden is an overall good game. It just doesn't run very well."

And MANY other PS3 ports - RSX is weaker than X360 GPU and framerate is main problem with PS3.

I don't notice to much of a diffrence but I think we could if they had a played them on seprate tvs and kept them both in camera shot doing the exact same moves. Personally I think the 360 version looks better. Also Brain Manning I think the 360 fans should be able to make true comments about the PS3 as much as the PS3 owners trash on the failure rate of the 360. By the way didn't the PS2 have a very high failure rate and break easily? And look at that system it ended up winning last gen.

@Anonim: Wow display some more blatant spin why don't you. Out of those 3 examples of "other games" you showed, 2 were Madden '08 (that we are talking about and EA accepted personal responsibility due to less time with the console), and the other was near the release of the PS3 which leads me and others to believe that would probably be the same situation like with EA on Madden.

Let's look at some near-launch sports titles on the 360. Not too impressive eh? Let's compare Gears of War to Resistance if everyone is saying the RSX is so much weaker than the XBOX 360 GPU as many claim. All these first few games are not pushing the system, the fact is, developers can make any game run at 60 fps if they work for it like they work for it on the 360. This is just like the complaints when the PS2 came out, and Dreamcast games looked better, despite it's inferior hardware. Maybe, JUST MAYBE, it's because people have been able to program on it longer? Maybe? Fanboy less thx.

In the Gametrailers one the PS3 colour was wrong, while in the Gamevideos is was not. I smell a bit of bias there.

Also Quake 4 as 360 launch apparantly had terrible framerates compared to the PC, but I rarely noticed it.

So just drop the whole argument.

hahha score

@Spider-Pig

WOW someone needs a life...

Of coruse somebody with a METROID logo (ie nintendo nerd fan) would say that. Not surprised

Yeah, I think the 360's colors are brighter (better in my eye) and I think the backgrounds look sharper in the 360 version. What are you going to do, it's EA!

Its not just EA. Its Oblivion, CoD3, and Project 8. The PS3 versions of all games look more "washed out" than their competition's counterpart.

Its a Sony type thing, it was the same with the PS2 as well.

You mean activision?,I dont remember the name of the company behind Oblivion.

What about the Wii version?

Wii version has Michael Vick Nintendog-fighting

Pfft. Nice. :p

Yes, PS3 games seem stuck somewhere between where the 360 is getting now and where the 360 was getting at this point in the PS3's life. Technical prowess was supposed to be an advantage of launching a year late the way it was with the PS2 over the Dreamcast and the Xbox over the PS2. It just doesn't seem to be panning out yet. Perhaps sometime next year it will.

I think Sony may be regretting its decision to use the cell processor when it comes to all these dev issues. Bluray I think they are very happy with including for many reasons, but the cell isn't exactly taking off in industry the way bluray has and it is holding games back, even if only slightly. The cell is rather expensive and they could have gotten a great, and more PC-like, triple core processor instead.

Ah, but what the hell would I know anyways?

Cells really aren't that great anyway, not the one in the PS3 anyway... They really watered it down.

QTF!

Even though the 360 version does look much much much better...

The PS3 version could very well outsell the 360 version in the US. Madden seems to be more popular on Playstation.

Yeah, I do think the 360 will win this generation. But when the PS4 comes out, I bet Sony will learn from their mistakes and make a better console... And I really hate to admit that, seeing as I'm a big 360 fan.

I'm pretty sure no one gives a damn about them.

Who cares?

The Wii version is essentially the PS2 version with motion sensor controls, so I would hope so.

LOL. Anime guy making fun of sports fan guy. Oh the irony...

Don't listen to him! He just wants to take us back to Monkey Island!

The Monkeys... THE MONKEYS!!!!

lol - this is joystiq. You don't need to prove anything on here. This isn't news, it's flame war disguised as a gaming site!

Agreed - quite a sound comment.

There really isn't much to say. They're slightly different, and both are playable. No other grand conclusions to derive.

I can clearly see the difference in the G4 video.

/are the PS3 colors really that washed out?
