PC obviously is the best, but im surprised how much PS3 is better than Xbox360. Xbox graphics look like low setting on PC

I'm a 360 gamer, but as hard as it is for me to say this I think the PS3 graphics look better. PC settings on high tend to win (as it's technology that's several years newer than the console tech.) and in this case it definitely does, but it's a real shame to see the Xbox 360 graphics hidden behind brightness settings cranked up far too high - loses a lot of the edge definition. Look really nice on all three, just a shame to see the 360 let down

I don't even know why they include PC in comparisons. The consoles are 6-7 years old now. I don't care if you game on a console or a pc, you already know that the pc version will look superior. Stick to the PS3/360 comparisons please.

The problem with PC gameplay footage is that you can't actually understand how good a game looks unless you have a 1080p+ IPS display and are actually running the game. Low resolution, compressed video looks nothing like the actual PC version, and this is why some people still think consoles are even close in graphical capability.

@gamebreakerz__ There's something to say about FPS too, and these -- what 30FPS videos? -- don't do games justice anyhow. Gotta see 'em live at 60FPS+ whatever.

@gamebreakerz__ Yeah it is frustrating, I work in HD media all day and come home to catch up on my gaming geek news, and gotta deal with sub par resolution. I did get frustrated with how much updating a PC was and stuck to consoles (have all of the consoles released since 99) But now if a game doesn't say 1080p on my nice ass TV they look like ass.

Why are these videos always in Crap 720p, My 3 year old Laptop has 1080p, my 6 year old Sony TV has 1080p, and this game runs (even if upscaled, not sure the method they used) at 1080p and on the PS3 1080p 3D...

1. PC (duh)

2. PlayStation 3

3. Xbox 360

@PlayStation4k Because for some reason, Gamespot hasn't gotten out of the dark ages with their video player. They really need to update it with 1080p and better overall quality and functionality.

@kamikazeespleen @PlayStation4k

To be fair, I work in HD and I was tasked with upgrading everything to HD from SD and 720p HD, and it is very very expencive!

With the way things are going economically it could cost a lot! BUT, Youtube allows 4K resolution for playback so WTF lol just use Youtube.

The PC version looks f***ing amazing! Can't wait to get my hands on it. High resolution and textures, and no FPS cap!


I have to admit the PS3 one looks far better than I expected. The 360 one just looks.....bland and flat.

This is actually the first multiplatform game that I can think of where the Ps3 actually beats the Xbox 360 in a graphics comparison. Of course the PC is superior.

@Tripwolf I find its the UK Gamespot that are more open-minded with regards to PC versions of games. People like Danny O'Dwyer don't hide the fact that PC could smoke any console, current or next-gen.

I honestly came here just to see how embarrassing the PS3 and Xbox 360 look compared to the PC. I really wish I could get a nice gaming PC. Let alone learning how to play on one. I guess it just takes some getting used to.

@idkwhattoput3 Yeah, having to learn mouse and keyboard really turns a lot of people off. Controllers are so much more convenient but not ideal on PC's though. Not unless your playing solo

@Tripwolf Gamespot these days have a job mainly to please casual players. People that couldn't even hear, 3 years ago, that consoles (those two ones) were already a handicap for devs and gaming in general, let alone having to hear a low score over their overpriced game. More money, more lies.

Without watching the video I know PC will win, I dont own a high end PC but these comparisons are pointless. How about if you want the game on whatever platform your comfortable with go for it.

People have (seemingly) collectively lost their freakin' minds...

How can anyone honestly say the PS3 version is sharper than the 360? Every texture on the PS3 version is gimped. Watch the closeup of the hands at 1:35 - 1:49. Night and day. The PS3 version is just plain ugly.


Then again, compared to the PC version... the 360 looks like an embarassment.


As for the washed out look, this is odd, because it must be the first instance where the gamma is brighter on a 360 port. Easily fixed in the TV settings. But then, these comparison vids always piss me off, because they should each be optimized (in terms of brightness and contrast at the very least) to show a true comparison between consoles on a level playing field.

Haha, fanboy. Nah, 'fraid not. Like I said, the 360 version still ain't no looker.

Beyond this video, I've played both... and my comments stand. The PS3 version is fugly.

Based on that video it should've been reviewed.

PC at 8.2

PS3 at 7.8

360 at 7.5

Go back to using screen shots or make the video 1080p. The PC footage is being down scaled for the videos are aren't truly representing it.

@Toysoldier34 The video would be compressed even at 1080p.

@Fiscaldeal @Toysoldier34 It would look far better at 1080p than it does at 720p and be a truer representation.

The thing that bothers me is that Gamespot uploads their videos to Youtube which supports 1080p videos so they can't even blame not wanting to support larger file sizes when they can have the higher quality there.

I really don't see the point of these videos when they're limited to 720p. The standard for PCs is 1920x1080, anything less is severely gimping the look of said version.
