PS3 owners looking forward to playing GTA-alike Mafia II have been dismayed to learn that the game features notably degraded graphics on the PS3 as compared to the Xbox 360 version, a repeat of the minor fiasco surrounding the release of Red Dead Redemption.
Foliage and grass suffers particularly badly on the PS3:
A video comparison shows the PS3 version has significant tearing issues:
Of course, at this stage for anyone with an up-to-date PC the graphics should be far better than either console.

The playstation 3 just added realism that's all.
I mean come on, where does it looks as nice as it does on the Xbox?
They developed it on the 360, then did a crappy job porting to the PS3. Nothing new here.
ssrsly how long will the Ps3 be fucked over for a inferior system?
Take that PS3!
typical fanboy is stupid
Another victory for Microsoft...
HAHA!
Hocus Pocus, spot the difference.
Seems like Little Jacob has been trimming some grass ;)
uh, i don't see the difference
wow!...the 360 kids are getting just as desperate as the pc children...trying to prove that the slackers at Microsoft can actually make games...sony and Nintendo will always be tops in the gaming world.
Btw i heard the 360 demo got some slowdowns and so on.
PC demo ftw. ^^

Not Nintendo, not Sony and neither Microsoft made this game. Sorry to completely destroy your poor trolling. You suck, man.
A second rate Japanese piece of crap can't keep up with American technology? No surprise there.
Not american, sorry. Too good to be USA produced...
Made in China? ^^
Missed for half of continent...
The lawn looks dead in the PS3 one...
Mafia and PCs FTW!
My thoughts exactly. It's actually pleasantly surprising to see so many PC gaming SanCommers. My rig will make this game look better than both screens!
I doubt anyone will care what I have to say.. but I'm going to say it anyways and I'm too damn lazy to create an account right now to say it. I played all 3 versions, and yeah the PC looked best and even though I played it with a 360 USB controller I'm going to get it on the PS3.
Firstly I enjoy sitting on my couch more then my PC chair and secondly after playing both the PS3 and 360 version I noticed a ton of screen tearing on the 360 and a more jittery frame rate while actually playing the game and not watching in game cinematics.
When Rage comes out, there's no doubt I'll be getting it on the PC, but for this game, whatever.. PS3 works fine, plus I'm a sucker for exclusive free extra missions.
Well as usually it's the developer's fault, not the console's fault. Sort of.
i smell briberies from microsoft
Fucking hell this is starting to get annoying how hard can it be to make a decent looking game on two consoles, it's like they flip a coin to decide which console gets the better looking version.
Final version looks incredibly similar for being a cross-platform game, actually.
First Bayonetta, then Red Dead Redemption, and now Mafia II? Are these developers trying to give PS3 a bad name?
I would say that PS3 version is more realistic... did u ever see real grass in sooo green colour?
this is like trying to find 10 differences in 2 pictures. The videos are exactly the same.
no it ain't
Oh nooo, the grass is missing, what a loss...
Surely it played a great role in the storyline!
It's already been proven that the demo was from a very old build of the game. Even before E3. New screenshots have surfaced since then showing the PS3 version looking just as good as the 360 version. Yes this includes grass. I lol'd at the PS3 picture here though. The guy looks sad like "Dude...my grass. What happened?"
looks like Xbox's more powerful GPU started to outrun PS3's less powerful GPU.... at least PS3 still have a more powerful CPU..
never cared about openworld games.. i dont find it fun to play in a realistic situation..
i play video games to be sucked into a fantasy world and not be playing something i cant tell if its a work of fiction or fantasy
Very little difference. I'll only care it PS3 has nudity and X360 has non or vice versa. Or the game hangs on this or that.
What we see here is just very little difference.
Let's face it. The PS3 actually the nigger of game consoles.
Who cares. The pc version is better than both anyway. :)
up-to-date? Hardly, still a Quad Core @ only 2.8GHz, only two HD4870's with 512MB each and 8GB DDR2 RAM @ 1066MHz. But yeah, games look way better.
still getting the PS3 version.. it doesn't look that much worse.. and fuck the 360 controller, that shit is annoying..
360 controller, annoying? Maybe you should blame your parents for your obviously gimped hands.
Those screenshots for the PS3 version have been confirmed not to be from the final build. The PS3 version has grass, just like the 360 version.
They didn't explain why his English was so great. :O
For those who wants a comparison between two consoles and PC here are some screenshots:

PC game wont be that great on console after all. Games from consoles suck on PCs because they are too simple/supid/easy/bad for PC standarts. PC games look bad on consoles because they are too complex/hard/good/good looking for consoles. Master race rules. All console fags have to admit it already.
games are being made more accesible to a greater market than a select few nerds. there is no master race in gaming. only gamers
This time the grass really IS greener on the other side.
This is just from the demo which allocates 1GB and does not represent the final product.
Annnyways, I have it pre-ordered and am not too worried.
Well, i won't sweat it over some grass, so...
This information is very inaccurate. The build for PS3 is far from final, as can be seen in the pictures below. PS3 version has grass as well yes and the difference between two consoles are far from noticable

Good gardener that's all
Someone just forgot to water the grass, that's all.
Yeah, that was my first impression too. Just bad gardening. :)
weren't guarders around back than? or was america so shitty even mexico looked good in comparison?
