Ridge Racer : PS3 vs. XBox 360

[chemoballer22]

I may be mistaken, but isn't this comparison unfair due to the fact that computer monitors can't display images at a high enough resolution to compare 1080p and 720p? I thought only the newest televisions could display 1080p...
I see the subtle changes as pointed out on the pics, but I don't think it is fair to say that the ps3 looks worse than the xbox 360.

Because they're taking the pictures with a CAMERA, theres going to be plenty of colour and image quality loss. If you want a proper comparison, you take a screenshot of both and save the image in a lossless format.

Suppose you have a point there, but unfortunately I doubt there is the option to take screenshots in-game, so either way we're at a loss.

The PS3 version has much smoother edges, but the colors are less dramatic and more washed out. The road lines shows this, being a vibrant white on the Xbox version and a pale gray on the PS3 version.

I think the Xbox version got the colors more accurate, but the PS3 certainly looks alot better in terms of edges.

well of course the PS3 version has smoother edges. It's running in 1080p! If you ran the 360 in it's new 1080p mode it would probably look just as smooth. Also the PS3 doesn't have as much ram accessable to the GPU as the 360 does. (remeber the unified architecture of the 360 GPU). This makes for richer textures on the 360.

I personally think that the 360 will look better for the next few years because dev's are more experienced with it and it just has more memory for the GPU). The PS3 is going to shine when it comes to physics and framerate while the 360 will look better and have an equally impressive framerate.

I wouldn't buy a PS3 at lanch though! It only has 3 games in it's launch line up that haven't already been released for 360. Also all the good games aren't coming out until 2007. (motorstorm, heavenly sword, formula one, MGS4, etc..) I might buy one but it will be a while before I do.

Wow... 360 looks better. As far as the jaggies, yes there is some but not much. The details are much better on the 360 and there seems to be more going on in the back ground. Even though taken with a camera, you have to think both were taken that way. So, they both have the same limitations. I have stated this a few times, the PS3 is all about FP calcs, which is NOT that great graphic wise, but it should be amazing when it comes to AI, physic engines, aliasing, etc. Truth be known, it will take a few years to really see which is better. The battle wont really heat up for at least another 3 years, so patience.

xbox360 looks like a game, ps3 looks real

[lmtlmt]

the water in the "ps3 one" cough cough is non existant, the water looked beter in vice city for crying out loud. and in the top picture the ps3 looks way better if you really think about it, the x360 one is too dark and blue

[Darksaviour69]

lmtlmt, they are clearly 2 different version. you can dull and bright things in photoshop but you can add and remove detail like these shots. take a closer look

[lmtlmt]

i did and they are different, but if u really think about it the x360 one os too dark and blue.and btw you said

but you can add and remove detail like these shots. take a closer look

if your trying to prove apoint i think you ment cant

[Darksaviour69]

its a bad picture of the 360 version, its not a screen shot, its a photo.

also you said that both photos are from the xbox 360 version, which is clearly not true.


yeah I meant can't.

[lmtlmt]

dont you eman its a bad shot of both of them?, and how did somebody get to the exact same part of the track, and th cars in the background to be in the exact same place?
