My name is Kel, but I am known online as PraiseChaos. The name PraiseChaos comes from a belief that no matter how much crap you think you have to deal with, there's someone somewhere who is dealing with something much worse than your problems. It also keeps life interesting.
I'm an 360, Wii, and PC gamer. I'm hoping to get a PS3 eventually. I don't stick to any certain genre of game. My favorites are rhythm games and FPS's.
In real life, I'm a student at WVU Institute of Technology studying Computer Science. I also do programming and IT work part time to make some extra cash, which I promptly blow on video games. I was also the founder and chairman of a local gaming community for two years.
I'm currently playing:
All those games I received for Christmas.
I think the gaming world has been lit ablaze by Assassian's Creed. Reviewers don't seem to want to tell me if it's any good or not. Hell, my friends can't even agree on if it's worth my time and hard earned money.
One thing I've heard multiple places is that the PS3 and the Xbox 360 versions look and perform differently. So, when I found this PS3 Vs. Xbox Comparison Video, I was more than a little curious.
I'm not going to bother analyzing the video, because I'm not interested in starting a console religion war on my community blog... eh, screw it... War is fun.
In this video, the 360 version clearly wins. I noticed the PS3 version seemed somewhat jerky at times, where the 360 version didn't slow down as much. The textures were much more crisp on the 360 version. It may have just been me, but the video made the PS3 version just look washed out.
Notice how I prefixed the paragraph above with "in this video." I don't think the video was entirely fair to the PS3 version (lowering the contrast would have been a lovely start.) Perhaps this was a demo using settings out of the box? I don't know, the video information doesn't say.
My own personal opinion is that the video is a little bit biased, but there are some things that are not affected by contrast that were presented in this video (i.e. the comparison of the eyes, frame rate issues). I believe the 360 version is probably the superior version.
It hardly makes a difference, yes the Ps3 version looks more washed out, but theres notable pixels when zoomed in on the 360's image.
Also, you could argue that the PS3 version is how it should look considering the strength of the sun in that particular area of the world kind of bleaches things...
@RivaOni - I actually considered that when I was watching the video. I made my opinion based on how the rest of the video looked. Like I said, I don't think the video is fair to the PS3 version.
the ps3 suffers from the same thing we've seen in almost every comparison. this washed out, bland look to it. whereas the 360 has more contrast and better lighting and such. the textures and that sort of thing seems to be on par in the creed. they preform about the same, but the ps3 has a washed out look to it, which is puzzling as to why that always seem to happen.
