I dont deny there's some truth to what he says, but this is EA, they dont put that much more effort into one version of a game than another. Its possible this is what the game looks like, and everything we've seen thus far is "target render" bullshit. I seriously doubt the 360 version will look any better than the ps3 version. They will be identical. This is EA.

This is also Unreal Engine 3, of which we've seen NOTHING released on the PS3.

take a look at Final Fight Round 3 & Need For Speed: Carbon.
they look similiar on PS3 & X360, but NOT identical.
thera are always some diferences in textures, lightning ect.

I tell you how that comes: Electronic Arts.

then explain why most EA games that are on both the 360 and ps3 look significantly different. especially in terms of texture resolution and lighting. things missing from these shots. we all know the 360 handles lighting WAY better then the ps3, and the 360 has more memory to use better textures. if the 360 version look like this, i'll honestly be shocked. i hate EA as much the net guy, they're a money grabbing, monopolising company that gets by by buying out their competition. but that doesnt mean i dont like some of the games they produce (burnout, SSX, im looking forward to army of two) but considering there is barely any lighting in these shots, and some textures (the P90's etc) are so bad, i still think they're ps3 shots.

just look at any comparison images of multiplatform games, CoD3, splinter cell : DA, etc, while not necessarily EA games, they are good indications of what PS3's lack. ubisoft, yet another money grabbing multiformat based company (although one that actually inovates every once in a while) has recently said the new splinter cell is not possible on the ps3 due to its lighting, and after seeing the mess that was the ps3 double agent. im going to agree.

if these are 360 shots i'll gladly admit i was wrong. but i'd be surprised if that was the case.

The 360 handles lighting way better? I dunno.. some first party stuff on Sony's platform has pretty nice lighting if you ask me (F1:CE, LBP come to mind). The PS3 doesn't seem to handle multiplatform stuff very well at all though. I always assumed that this is because the 360 is the lead platform for many of these games.. who knows.

I expect both versions of this game to look pretty simular though.. and it's not looking to hot right now. It's not a downgrade necessarily.. these just may be the closest things to real screen shots of the game that we've seen so far.

I'm more concerned with how the game plays than how it looks at this point though. There are some good ideas floating around in this one.. but I hate the overall image/direction that it's taking at the same time. The whole bling-bling-your-dead thing is pretty lame.. the armor and accessories are pretty lame too.. but all of that could be made up for (imo) w/ some really solid co-op gameplay.

Double Agent was already a mess on the 360.. and we've seen how well things port from 360 > PS3.. so I can't say I'm surprised that the 360 version is better. Hell, multiplatform development in general seems to lean towards the Xbox 360.. but it is at this point an older and more familiar platform for a lot of these developers.. it's really not all that surprising.

............ Simple answer.

Most games that people are comparing here are ones that came out on the 360 way before they did on the PS3. The developers have time to enhance the PS3 versions, its obvious.

Number 1 reason why I don't give a shit about this game: EA.
