PSM3: Fallout 3 looks better on the 360

Jarhead you do realize the XBOX WAS more powerful and produced better quality than the PS2.. but the PS2 did better due to it's sheer amount of games.. it's happening all over again, except this time the 360 is representing the PS2.

Another thing Jarhead.. I'm going to use an analogy.

lets say a man is building a wheel made out of stone using a hammer and chisel (this is the 360). The man will obviously know how to do it, and wont take too long to do so.

Now lets say someone comes along and says "Now make that wheel with only using the hammer" (This is the ps3). The man will be confused, and take twice as long to make the same thing rofl.

To say that Bethesda isn't skilled enough is idiotic. Their games far surpass that of things like Uncharted and CoD 4.. Oblivion was absolutely beautiful on both consoles.

Like I said, the original xbox was better than the ps2. It had better looking, performing games. It had a hard drive, ethernet, xbox live and finally Halo. All ps2 had was instal base... which came from the popular ps1 and coming out a year before xbox. Now the tables are turned. Don't argue with facts, and don't twist my argument.

You can get a used 360 core, still under warranty, for like 90 bucks on ebay.

Then MS will give you a hard drive for an additional 20 bucks.

Hell, they're well under $200 brand new several places.

Well, the 360 is not the problem actually. I've got one of those. It's the PS3 that I can't really afford at the moment. Nor do I truly want a PS3 at the moment. The only reasons I would buy a PS3 would be for LittleBigPlanet, the BluRay player, and Metal Gear Solid 4 (which looks like may come out for the 360 anyway).

Agreed, I've never had a controller give me instant hand cramps like the PS3 controller. The 360 controller is the most comfortable controller I've ever used.

IMO, the Dualshock is the best console controller ever, been using since the PS1. The 360 controller is a close second, only that the Dualshock beats it in fighting games, otherwise, both are pretty equal.

due to the triggers on the Dualshock 3, I think it's actually a step DOWN from the DS2.

ha. then go become gay on fable 2. cuz thats you

that's a given though since the 360 has a better graphics device than the ps3 anyway so the games will always look a little better than the ps3. where ps3 really outshines 360 is in performance and actual animations in-game.

Hmmm, I'm not sure your comment could get any more vague. Performance is a very vague term. What kind of performance are you talking about? You say that the PS3 outshines the 360 in performance but then you also say that the 360 has a better graphics device. So do you not consider "graphics" to be performance? If you're talking about game performance, I'd say the 360 wins, and you've already agreed. I have no idea what you mean by animations in-game.

You essentially just said "the 360 is better at games, but the PS3 has better performance". That makes little to no sense.

well the graphics can factor in to the systems overall performance but its not limited to just visuals but rather how fluid the games play or how many processes can be done simultaneously before the system slows down or crashes, etc. and there still runs the issue of the complexity of the hardware the problems arent necessarily on the system but the developers that make the games for them.

im dying to see these documented statements that youre talking about since ive played quite a few ps3 games that run at 60fps as well.

That was meant to say "To determine which system is the more powerful we can really only Turn to developers..." and "..relative power..".
Where's my brain when i need it?

Exactly altho i dont agree on the ps3 being more powerfull.The cell maybe but what it has under the hood is not power in the form of usefull gaming.

If your talking about what matters for gaming in a machine that can actually be used for gaming the 360 has it all over the ps3.

So as far as the most powerfull gaming machine the 360 wins.

The reason the ps3 has a so called 10 year life span is because its gonna take atleast another 4 years for it to surpass the 360 and become a more chased after console.And by then the xbox will be out and will sell better than the ps3 due to full backwards compatability of the 360 titles and the future gaming titles that will outperform the ps3 easy.

The future looks bad for sony i dont think they will ever be top dog again.

Spend ten on normal rechargeable batteries.

thank you for pointing that out

it makes me mad as well to see great games like this become of lesser quality when the do it for ps3.

i am sick of xbox as well. all the extra cash you have to put into a system thats not even worth it... the price drop makes sense thus M$ can still keep making money off of its over priced add-ons like a wireless network add on or yes play and charge kits...i work at an electronics store and i sell all three consoles and ppl come in to buy the 360 and tell me they wanna do this or that and i give them the cost of the other stuff they will need to buy and most of them are either put off and rethink the 360 or they get just the console and halo 3 (IMO is the worst shooter i have played) most ppl don't like the fact that they have to pay extra to put their game system on wireless or the fact that they have to pay $60 to play online. but thats just what i see and parents are very upset by the fact that their kid said the xbox is only 299.99 but they end up paying for so much more stuff they thought they didn't need.

xbox is a waste of money... who cares if it has more and so called "better" games... most of the good games can be played on both ps3 and xbox. and the xbox only titles ie Gears of War 1.5, i mean 2 and halo 3 and such are not that great of games so i can do without them. M$ must have some strange attraction to space marines and beefcakes why don’t they try to make something new and fresh I am sick of jacked up shooters that become less fun then...

superman 64

that is all

Oh, I'm totally convinced that chelsea_smile and Over 9000 are not the same person.

Seriously.

Lame.
