not sure if this is a buy for either console
The developers need to talk to John Carmack to get some pointers on how to program FPS on the Xbox 360. The game looks horrible on both systems, but it looks worse on the XBox 360 due to poor programming. Crysis, Gears 3 and Rage pretty much proves this.

PS3 wins again
Actually, no one wins. It looks like crap on both systems and the gameplay is slow and bad on both systems. No matter which version you pick, the result will be the same. No Buy!!. lol!!
I'm getting RAGE and GEARS 3 instead.
The game looks too horrible on both consoles to see much of a difference, or care about it.
@ Zim
Yeah the textures not loading thing, that did cross my mind the Xbox 360 version can't look THAT bad surely. It reminds me of the Unreal Tournament engine games where quite often you'd see low res textures briefly on loading.
Quite a few of those screenshots it looks like they simply haven't waited for the textures to load.
Honestly though I dislike the games art style so much that bad graphics doesn't change anything.
Brink
360: 1120x720
PS3: 1280x720
The graphics are piss poor. The PS3 version being a trash can and the X360 version being a landfill. I'm also surprised the PS3 version even runs better.
And don't get me started on the gameplay.
remind me to make a lense of truth between my 2003 PC and my 2004 PC, I think it's important, you know in 2011
WTF happened to 360 version? texture loading or just really bad textures?
disclaimer: for anyone who thinks i am complaining about ign not giving xbox version a lower score. i am not. differences like these are way to small to mark off points. same with 99.99% of games (that goes for portal as well, though i do think it should have scored higher for steam integration, but thats beside the point).
i was merely pointing out the hypocrisy in their reviewing standards
[Plug in thoughts here that score more points for the console of your choice, and take down the system you don't like]
starting to notice how little these things matter.
@enrageorange
it was a joke.
i was making fun of ign for constantly taking off points on ps3 versions of games, for tiny little differences (most recently Crysis 2), but never taking off points for inferior xbox version of games.
of course i dont think the xbox version deserves a lower score, the differences are too small.
i have said that about many games, ign just has huge double standard, thats what i was pointing out
@osamanobama
so a game deserves a lower score, for being 1 frame per second slowly, and having slightly better textures. You silly little fanboy you.
Slam dunk for the PS3 graphically.
The game looks like it plays like ass though. Too bad =(, I expected a little more
Graphically that is, gameplay looks bleh
Game looks really good, you guys have issues.
PS3 wins again
We're talking PS2 graphics, especially for the 360.
The game looks like crap on both consoles period...I was gonna get this game, but I think I'll pass on it now
OMG Xbox 360 version looks like shit.
If it wasn't for these websites like lens of truth and digital foundry, would anyone even NOTICE the difference? I don't find much use for these websites because the differences in most games are incredibly subtle.....
Anybody find all of these as useless as I do.
By far most ugliest character designs I have ever seen. I can only imagine how the females look.
PS3 version is marginally less rubbish than the XBox 360 version
i think the developers becoming lazy to program this game for Xbox360 ver. since it will sell better on it anyway no point making it a better ver... xD
by the way this is a fugly game either way.
conclusion: both look ugly and totally lack of details. debunks the press "screenshots" from the gallery link as fakes...
so i i go to ign.com right now, i can expect a .5 point reduction of the xbox version. right? right? (same goes for portal 2)
im not holding my breath
Watch it, d21lewis. NES games are still awesome.
They're both horrible lols
The colors on the 360 are more vibrant. Though the textures on the PS3 version are better. I say the PS3 version wins this one.
@ mantlepiecek
I hope so, cause those textures look like crap on the 360.
Thats funny, i think the xbox version looks way more crisp and clear in most cases, was kinda disappointed seeing the ps3 be worse.
unfair comparision -- the 360 has the burden of being able to access online...
PS3 version looks a lot better its surprising how bad the 360 version looks in comparison.
I heard there's a day 1 patch coming out for the 360 to resolve a lot of issues so it may not be final.
PS3 definitely
Wow, the Xbox 360 version looks like Resident Evil 1.
Hands down Ps3 version looks better!
The PS3 version makes the Xbox 360 version look like an Nes game!!
Why is there some kind of partnership between VGC and Lens of Truth? How did it start?
@Euphoria14
Seems like the Xbox is having some kind of mip mapping issue,??
What's up with the textures on the 360 at 1:33? So much blur.
I'm tinkling the PS3 looks and plays sooo much better.
Great work guys!
