Resident Evil 5 demo breaks out on PSN Feb. 2

That's what I'm worried about. RE4 was great. but the RE series is turning into an action game, and they are refusing to fix the controls as such. I know they added "shooter" controls, but I remember reading that something in normal Dead Space-like shooter controls was still gimped.

Maybe it is the newer version they're releasing.

Can't imagine why they'd release such an inferior version as the demo when they've already fixed the problems in the final build. It'd be silly.

Actually, I thought that comparison was pretty interesting because neither console is a clear winner. They both cut back in different ways in the constant game of frames versus shine.

From what I've seen in the past with the side by side comparisons was that most games had very little difference between consoles, at least not enough to make it worse than the other, in my opinion.

But, goddammit, these are horrible.

Taken from that comparison article:
"Its common knowledge that the Xbox 360 has a sharper output that the Playstation 3."

How is this true at all? 1080p is 1080p, it's the same exact resolution, and can be output through the same cables if you have a 360 with HDMI. If anyone has an explanation or reference link for this, I'd love to read it. Otherwise it sounds like complete garbage.

The comparisons are sometimes interesting, though the heat the generate is just as old and tired as the console wars themselves. Most games have such negligible differences that it doesn't matter.

Aka, the 360 version almost always looks better but lets say it doesn't matter because I don't like the 360.

I haven't tried the 360 demo yet but I'll get the PS3 one if its a newer version.

yikes, shadows and textures do look better on the 360 version.

I think my point is still pretty valid though - you're not going to notice the differences hardly if at all unless you do a comparison like this. Plus, I'm sure it has to do with the fact that they are pretty much identical versions with the slight graphical tweaks to suit the respective video cards. I'm hoping that KZ2 might make devs take a note on how to program on the PS3. I've read that the graphics card on the 360 has a bit of an edge on the PS3's, which is why we see things like better textures and shadows in the 360 version of RE5, or antialiasing in Mirror's Edge. I wonder what would happen if they delegated the processing of the shadows, heat distortion, dust, and smoke to the Cell.

God I hope I didn't just start a war XD

Looks like I did, as Lee comes out with a BS comment while I was typing that one.

What about screen tearing on the 360? I also remember reading the differences between versions of GTA4, which is probably the most different looking multiplatform between systems. The PS3 version was annoyingly chunky, with its less-than720p resolution (same as Halo 3, if I remember correctly), but that it also had graphical features that the 360 didn't, evening the quality overall.

"Aka, the 360 version almost always looks better but lets say it doesn't matter because I don't like the 360."
I do like the 360, I just don't want to spend the money on another console just to play a couple games that I can't on my PS3 - it's a waste of money to me. We tested a couple games out back to back on my friend's 1080p 42", who owns a PS3 and 360. Dead Space and Fallout 3 looked identical to us. I walked around getting indoors, outdoors, and water on each version so we could see if anything was noticeably gimped. It was the same. My point was that, if you can notice any differences for the most part, it's going to be on the internet. Put the games back to back like we did, and you just don't notice it.
