Resident Evil 5 PS3 vs Xbox 360 Comparison

re5boxart.jpg

The long awaited fifth installment in the Resident Evil (or Biohazard as it is known in Japan) series is now less than two months away from it’s worldwide release.

Below are a pair of screenshots comparing the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions:

The 360 version appears to have a rough, abrasive feel.

Whereas the PS3 version has a more smoothed out look.

But whither the superior graphical capability of the PS3?

Regardless of personal preference, the game should prove vital to sales on both consoles as they continue to butt heads.

    the 360 has incredbible amounts of screen tearing in motion, ps3 is slightly more jagged and has less Frames Per Second but without any tearing. trust. i have both the demos. ;)

    looks like anonymous retard below thinks that you're a moron because you can notice texture quality, that is probably why idiots like him probably think consoles are better than PC's because he can't tell the difference between low res and high res textures, probably doesn't even know what AA is and probably wouldn't be able to tell if vsync is on or not, for me it's him that needs his eye's testing. As for me I play Resi 5 on the PC at 1080p on my 50 inch plasma with maxed settings and keyboard and mouse controls. It's vastly superior to any console version of the game.

    I find that multi platform games don't look that nice on the PS3. Some times it is better but if the game isn't made to run on 8 cores then its makes it may run sloppy making the 3 core 360 run a little better at times.

    Are those screens from the demo again?

    The fact that the official demo looks better on Xbox has been know for weeks now (Kotaku did a comparison over a month ago, I think). People who have seen later PS3 builds all claimed that they were virtually indistinguishable from the Xbox version.

    Comparing graphics when both versions are in different stages of development is fucking stupid and will only lead to endless console flamewars.

    That said, I've got the game pre-ordered for both systems. So if one version ends up looking worse than the other I won't have to worry ;)

    Here's the thing from those two screenshots its all to do with lighting and as you can see the ps3 is more lighter while 360 has better texture. Take a look at the skies in each picture and the wall. Still thought this is just 2 identical screenshots for each console. All this hype is nothing more than fanbase war etc.

    Yeah, looks like the RGB range is set to limited and Super-White HDMI is turned off. The difference these two settings make can be huge:

    No idea why Sony doesn't just activate them by default.

    PS3 version probably feels more "blurred" because of the Quincunx antialiasing method, which no one really likes. And the 360 version's textures apparently are miles ahead. It's just like DMC4. Looks like Capcom didn't put too much effort in the PS3 development.

    Of course, the full version could be different.

    Gonna get the PS3 version regardless of what people say. The sixaxis > 360 controller ANYDAY.

    I'm used to the control scheme for RE4, so in hopes that the controls will be at least somewhat similar if not exactly the same (with the exception of sixaxis capabilities of course), I'll be getting the PS3 version.

    The controls are A LOT different from RE4, but there is a setting that changes that :)

    God! What's up with those arms? Shouldn't they both be familiar charakters? I like basically every RE character (even the traitor, cuz he had sunglasses), but those two fuckers on the cover are juste annoying. Not even Barry had those kind of arms and what's up with the fanservice-machine? F*ck!

    Yeah I know, sorry if my comment sounded negative I really mean nothing negative it, it's just the whole PS3 and 360 thing.

    I stopped going to gaming site because most of the time they talked about ps3, 360, comparison, who won, who lost, what this guy said, what that guy said, etc etc. It's a bit annoying.

    These are most likley from the demo build. It's already well published that the 360 version looks slightly better at this point but Capcom have stated both should be on-par come release.
    As for which version to get, I have both consoles so it's a toss up at the point. Although saying that the PS3 version will have that manditory HDD install that takes like 15 mins plus I prefer the 360 controller...

    OMG this is old and this comparison is totally old. Apparently the Xbox shot is from the latest downloadable demo and the PS3 shot is an old build from a past game show.

    I agree with you Icy-nee-san, I prefer the colouring on the PS3 version. But as it's been stated over and over again they are 2 entirely different builds so they'll both have that overly contrasted look when it is released...shame really.

    It's a Demo people, the final work will be shown better when it's released and most likely there will be a small if minor difference between the two. Same with FFXIII and every other game that comes out, the only good graphics for depth, smoothness and everything is one the PC anyways so yeah.

    well not to strange, PS3 and Xbox 360 GPU is both as powerfull, it differ insanly little ( CPU wise there is osme mayor differences but that doesn't matter what so ever when the GPU cannot do more then what it can for graphics )

    For graphics thought, even thought the GPU is as powerfull, the Xbox 360 have 512MB memmory shared between GPU and RAM, so for games who do not need as much memory in general can push in extra high resolution textures. PS3 it's locked to 256MB to each.

    Sure Blu-ray have superior storage capacity but that meens shit if you cannot see it on screen. It's also a very slow media to load from current as well.

    To many peoples look just blind on the CPU/Blu-Ray combo and completely forget the GPU who is the thing who matters in relations to graphics.

    Not true in this case. Sony originally didn't intend to even have a graphics card, they were going to rely purely on the Cell. They went with a card simply to save time on having to do their own implementation for video output. And even if they had gone that route, the actual horsepower within the PS3 would still likely have topped the 360. Whether anyone ever actually gets around to tapping the full potential is another matter entirely.

    I'll wait. If there's anyone that can do it, its Kojima. Back when people were complaining about how hard it was to program for the PS2, he came out with MGS2.

    If he can't do it, no one can.

    "We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so then the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine-and-a-half years?"

    Yeah, it's strange imho.
    People are yelling "CELL" left and right, but what they fail to see is the lacking gfx-architecture the PS3 is using when compared to the 360. It's like pairing up a Core i7 965 with a Nvidia 8600 (ok not that bad maybe), just makes no sense because the gfx is the bottleneck... .
    Ranting aside, I'd tend to buy the 360 version if I had one, but since I belong to the master race of PC-gamers I won't be playing this game for now anyway ;)

    Can you please PLEASE actually LOOK at the screen shots before making your blatantly biased statements about how superior the PS3 is? Look, liking your favorite console is fine but manipulating the facts so that the PS3 is always on top is just childish.

    The XBox 360 screen shot is the winner hands down, I'm sorry but it shows more detail and the color is richer vs. the PS3 which has a fuzzy, washed out look to it. However, the differences are so subtle that most people probably won't even notice them. You should be fine no matter what version you buy.

    As said, the PS3 version isn't the finished version. Of course, because it's such a pain in the ass to utilize the full potential of the PS3, it'll just look exactly the same as the 360 version, I've never understood each fan base fighting over graphics when at this point it seems it is nitpicking over the fucking fluffiness of the clouds in the sky.

    Only reason I'm learning towards buying the PS3 version is I'm so familiar with the Playstation controller, but if the HDD download is anything like MGS4 was, I may need to reconsider.

    If the 360 was not a Frankenstein hardware wise I could say the PS3 is not superior in hardware....

    But before the fanboys get their panstu out of whack the PS3 is a monster to code and optimize for they are still using less than half of its full potential, that means for now it runs...like crap :P.

    Uhg the PS3 was released by sony arrogantly and they have paid for it...altho not enough IMO...taking out BWC...the bastards should just die.... MS released the 360 in beta....and still have not fixed all of its issues... I think they'd be better off not changing the price and tossing a BR drive in it so newer games wont have space issues, hell update the firmware and offer to swap the DVD drive out for 50$ (covers shipping too) the 360 is powerfull enough to last another 5 years if space was dealt with this way they could work on polishing up the next console and not have another flammable beta...

    Oh ya...MS....unlock the Gdamn HDD and make live free already......
