Is Assassins Creed better on 360 or PS3?

Question

What are your reasons? Don't say PS3 has better graphics because look here http://uk.gamespot.com/features/6191251/p-3.html

Answer 1

The gamespot review is biased, the PS3 has not been used to its full capacity. Look at the video below, this guy realised it too. Changing a simple setting on the PS3 display menu resulted in the graphics improving a lot.

All in all though, the difference is minute and not recognisable so buy whichever one suits you, e.g controller preference

--------------------------------------...

As for GTA IV, even though a blu ray disc owns DVDs on storage the games look pretty similar. I have played it on both consoles and couldnt tell a difference in HD really. The only plus point for PS3 was the game ran smoother because of the 4GB install to the hard drive.

Answer 2

They do look exactly the same for Assassin's creed, for GTA 4 the graphics are barely better on the PS3.

Answer 3

i don't know about assassins creed but i heard so many times that the game is c**p. i also heard, i don't recall where but i heard that the graphics for gta4 are better of 360 but the controls are better on ps3

Answer 4

if that comparison is real they both look close to the same it is just different lighting so it doesn't matter just pick the one for which system you like more

Answer 5

For Assasins Creed (which my bf is playing right this moment on 360) it looks wayyyy better on the 360.  360 has better shading.  GTA4 honestly looks horrible on the PS3 its blurry and the night time shots are orange, the 360 one looks like what night time is supposed to look like.  I just looked at the COD4 one and they are pretty much the same on both systems.

I own both the Xbox 360 and PS3 also the Wii.  Xbox is my fave of the three.

Answer 6

why ask this question when you know if the person likes the 360 they will say it was better on the 360, and if they like the ps3 then they will say it was better on the ps3?

Answer 7

I heard that the game controls better on the PS3, because the DualShock 3 is more accurate.

Graphics are the same, so I would say go with PS3.

GTA IV has a lot of pop up on 360, so PS3 wins again.

Answer 8

Who cares the game is c**p on both machines

Answer 9

well, it actually looked better on my ps3 than my xbox on the same tv.

Answer 10

I can quite easily explain why the PS3 graphics look slightly worse on some screenshots. It has motion blur active, which can't be turned easily be turned off for screengrabs.( a site like Gamespot ought to be aware of such things, but obviously can't be bothered to explain it)

Running side by side, both look, to all intents and purposes the same.

p.s. someone must be borrowing your account, because, may be wrong, but i'm sure you asked a couple of weeks ago which was the better console (and said you prefered 360) and another where you compared the PS3 to a grill....

Answer 11

Just watch this...

It is the same.  Only exclusives for the PS3 take full advantage of its awesome power.

Answer 12

It's the question of port's quality. Depends on the developer's efforts, not on the console. GTA IV loading times are faster on PS3. As for Assasins Creed - didn't like the game at all.  

Answer 13

im sorry but it boring

the only way to describe

dont get it

its like having a history lesson on you tv

i mean i fell asleep watching my bro play

gta 4 is better on ps3

because of the blue ray

Answer 14

They're the exact same game on both consoles

About the PS3's graphics; the reason some multi-platform games like Assassin's Creed look better on the 360 is because they were developed first on 360 hardware; it has nothing to do with the PS3 having "bad" graphics

Also, although Gamespot displayed both versions in HD; you're viewing it from a computer screen, which doesn't naturally display HD picture and is actually LOWER than Standard Definition. So you would only be able to tell if you actually PLAYED it on both consoles

You like the PS3 better? I'm not sure if I can trust that considering all those questions you asked; I believe you said that "PS3 owners are cumbags"?

Also, didn't you ask this already?

I honestly don't care much about Assassin's creed

If you really do own a PS3, to make the picture look better, use either Component Cables or HDMI cables ( I use HDMI) and pick the highest resolution your TV supports ( if it's an HDTV, it should either be 720p, 1080i, or 1080p)

1080p is currently the best on the market, but 720p and 1080i is still HD and looks amazing

Also, go to the settings, then to display settings, and set the RGB range to "Full" instead of "Limited"

Finally, turn on "Super White" for the PS3, Super White enhances the white textures in games

The picture will look amazing, it'll blow you away

Answer 15

how can you say that the ps3 graphics are not better than the 360 ,ps3 has blu-ray and 360 is hd! its a fake comparison actually both are good but the ps3 graphics are better!

Answer 16

I reckon PS3 the whole d**n thing runs smoother... it was basically made for the machine... plus the game is so ****** hard and i'd rather sit there and play ps3 rather than 360.... as for GTAIV well i liked it on ps3... i am a ps3 owner and fanatic gamer so...  i dunno if my opinon really counts that much cause in any situation ps3 will win... unless it's like Halo on PC or Xbox..... you know what i mean?

Answer 17

sweet i'll star this cause i want to know so i know which console to buy

Answer 18

With those comparisons the RGB isnt set to full.

When it is it looks better on PS3.

Seriously those vids are old and disproved.

Multiplatforms look pretty much the same on all consoles, you need to look at exclusive games like Uncharted.

Assassins Creed is the same on both.

Answer 19

when i developer makes a game they make it for all consoles it dont make much difference id say ps3

Answer 20

The ps3 does have better graphics, I don't care what a magazine writer says in some article. It varies from game to game, but games that are developed on ps3 first are unmatchable on the xbox. Game magazine and store site writers aren't out to enlighten the public about console facts, they're out to sell their magazines and games. Naturally when more potential readers use one console they will treat that one more favorably.

IF AC was snazzier on the xbox than the ps3, as happened on a few games, the reason would almost certainly be that it was developed on a pc or xbox devkit using Direct X. Xbox uses Direct X 9 which is a well-known graphics library that developers use efficiently. But porting the product to the ps3's RSX gpu later is difficult, even though the RSX is more advanced than dx9 in a lot of ways, when you port something you can't go back and redo all the graphics from scratch. So you end up with a minimum product.

Anyway, something people forget about multiplatform games is on the ps3 they get 25 or 50gb of disc space, and on xbox they get 9gb. I remember something about AC's content on the xbox having to be pared down because of space limitations. And of course GTA4 uses compressed files that have to be installed to hard drive... ps3's installed patches are only for load time, not for space.

Magazines and stores like Gamespot don't have the last word on anything. Whatever most of the public is using, they will say that console's games are the best, in order to sell the game. If AC was a WII game, they'd say it was best on the wii. They'd be full of c**p but they'd still say it and sell a bunch of copies.

As for comparing two different video pictures, that's impossible even in SD. Online video resolution is lower than SD, besides that the two videos are rarely recorded under the same conditions. What matters is HD and you can't show that on someone's computer even from captured video. Only on the console itself.

The setting people find makes a huge difference on ps3 is "RGB color range." Its default is limited, if you change it to "full" and your hdtv supports it, it makes the picture amazing

Answer 21

Graphically, the Xbox 360 has the more capable hardware.

This is very evident on the GTA IV comparison. The Xbox 360 console runs the game in 720p resolution without problems.

The PS3 version has to render the game in 640 lines and then upscale the game to 720p, wich will result in lines that are almost horizontal to be jaggier than on the Xbox 360.

Those PS3 fanatics, that try to tell you that in about a year, the programmers have learned to write graphics for the PS3 properly don't know what they are talking about.

Fact is: The graphics hardware of the PS3 consists of a Nvidia 6800 chipset.

PC graphics cards with more power cost less than $50.

Furthermore the PS3 has a graphical memory bandwith of roughly 50GB/sec.

However to render a High definition image at 60 FPS, even the most basic 3D calculations like z-sorting (wich object is hidden by another) and filling these models with shadowed colors needs about 60GB/sec.

The PS3 needs to calculate the data, compress it, send it to the framebuffer and uncompress it again.

The Xbox 360 however has over 270 GB/sec of memory bandwith and can therefore do z-sorting with transparent objects, bump mapping, High Dynamic Range rendering and Anti Aliasing.

So saying that the programmers just need to learn better is just like saying:

This race driver just needs to learn how to use the stick shift correctly and he will be able to drive this Formula 1 car across this plowed field of dirt faster.

----------------------

I'd also like to take the time to correct some factual errors in some answers here:

For example someone wrote:

"And of course GTA4 uses compressed files that have to be installed to hard drive..."

The mandatory PS3 GTAIV install is because the BluRay Drive is very slow when it has to load data. It's made for playing movies, not randomly access data for a game.

The Xbox version plays with better graphics directly from the disc. You can play GTA IV on a harddisc-less Xbox Arcade, and the game will still look better than the PS3 version, thanks to the better graphics hardware.

---------------------

"...even though the [PS3] RSX is more advanced than dx9 in a lot of ways..."

DirectX9 is a program library. It just is a "translator" for the communication between the programmer and the graphics chip.

So since the RSX chip is based off the Nvidia 6800 chip, you have a perfectly capable DirectX 9 chip, that is in no way better or worse than DirectX9.

DirectX is the language you "talk" to a graphics chip.

However the memory bandwith and processor architecture are what limit the ability to produce graphics.

And in this department, the PS3 is lacking.

No matter if you talk to the chip in DirectX, OpenGL, SDL or any other graphics library.

---------------------

Regarding those "tricks" with Full RGB and Super White:

Have you ever used a program like Photoshop or any other picture editing software and got to a dialogue where you can set the color of your pen?

You will see 3 values for Red, Green and Blue, ranging from 000 to 255.

Until the beginning of HDTV's the colorspace of TV broadcasts was limited. Especcially in regards of full-black and full-white.

Therefore, in TVs you couldn't get the colors all the way up to 255 or all the way to black (000).

With HDMI connectors, limitation of values was removed, so theoretically you could now transfer full 255 and 000 values.

However, it's still up to the TV to honor these settings.

Especcially on a LCD TV with background lighting, the full black setting will do nothing, as the backlight will still brighten the "full black" pixels up.

So the comparisons about full RGB and other HDMI settings won't change the programmed graphical capability of a game.
