I was wondering if anybody had any insight on the graphics considering the ps3. I realize all demos have been shown on 360, and they look great, but I have noticed that multi platform games tend to favor the 360 in the graphics department. What I was wondering if Todd Howard was meaning to say that since he was using 360 both for simplicity in demonstrating the gameplay and representing the baseline of graphics, is the 360 on the lower end now considering graphics? Also, what console was Skyrim originally developed for before being ported to other systems? This has been bugging me because I am tired of having the lower end of the deal on everything for the ps3 in all games that are multi platform and this has been on my mind for a while. Does anyone think they can share any research that pertains to this subject?

I am starting to realize a lot of people on these forums are pc gamers. Which I respect, I used to be one until my 9800 gx2 broke. What you guys aren't understanding is that I don't favor any console, I just notice clear differences in graphics and playability. Look up on youtube, any game comparing 360 vs ps3 graphics, 360 tends to trumph the ps3 in looks. On top of that Oblivion contains a game ruining glitch exclusive to the ps3 and it has yet to been solved. I have also noticed, after comparing, fallout 3 tends to play much more smoothly and have significantly less glitches in the 360. Stop bringing up how PC gaming is so much better, it does not have any remote reason to be in this topic and too be honest many of you who bring it up sound quite boastful and pompous.

Everybody, put your flame shields on!!!! :flamethrower:

360

PS3 = 360 in general view in almost every game PS3 has a wee bit better hardware but its exactly the same for multiplatform games mainly..

I believe Skyrim was developed on the 360. The PS3 and 360 versions will most likely look almost identical.

I've heard that the PS3 had better graphics for Oblivion, but who really knows.

Me and my roomate tested which was better a couple years back, on his ps3, and my xbox. We checked on the same tv and it was identical.

It's hard to really say it was developed on such and such consoles first. When writing the rendering code, you're probably going to have a relatively modular hierarchy of classes for the specified platform. It would be quite odd to develop only one portion of the rendering code (which is the primary part that changes from platform to platform) and then go back to the others later. In terms of PS3 vs 360, I was always under the impression that the PS3 had better hardware and therefore could have better quality graphics, but I'm not entirely sure this will be the case.

PS3 version was released later and had a higher resolution. Skyrim is being developed on the 360 and I'm almost sure it will look a tad bit better on it. Kinda like COD. Well no, COD looked much better on the 360.

The official line is they will look the same.

The graphics will most likely be very similar on both consoles. I doubt you would even be able to notice a difference between the two.

I think it's funny... People actually are still arguing about which console has the best graphics.... (I'm not talking about you guys)
PC is like 2 generations ahead of them...
I think even PS4 and XBOX 720 won't be of any match for the most powerful PC in the market today...

Consoles will never be up to par with PCs. Sure, we might get a console that's as good as the PC that's currently out, put consoles tend to stick around for a few years, and the PC will get better than them in a few months. Knowing this, I'll still buy consoles.

PS3 is known to have a bit better graphics on some other games...but I would guess there would barley be any difference.

:ConfusedWhyYouCare:

You know this is gonna bring out the inner troll in people.

This is true. Consoles are focussed at people who like to play games and have limited funds (myself included here , I have only just got the money for a decent PC). Therefore they have to stick to a tight budget, therefore you won't see a card as powerful as the GTX 590 being used in either. At over $700 it would cost more than the entire console and that's just for a graphic card.

I like consoles and will likely buy the next xbox at some point

I bought my laptop for around $600 and it runs almost every game just fine on medium graphics settings. So...price isn't really an issue.

Oh don't get PC users started on this again. Money for console + money for computer you need anyway = money for gaming PC. Only the wasteful or wealthy buy a graphics card as soon as it comes on the market at $700 each. Most of us buy at around $200-300.

im in hopes that skyrim will support the duelshock 3 sixaxis and touch pad (so ps3 users can access console to fix broken quests) like in oblivion were that cure to vampirism bug bethesda never fixed destroying all ps3 and ! xbox players hopes of not being able to have "temporary role" as vampire in black brother hood questline
ps3 advantage is the white is white option in system settings this option improve shading in all multi platform games ported to it

Ps3 has better graphic's, but Xbox is just way better. Has better features. Ps3 does not deserve an obsolete game like Skyrim.

As a pc user, I want the ability to use a xbox or ps3 settings already there. Crysis 2 did it, and it ran smooth as silk but ever since the new 1.9 patch, it lags like crap.

Completely agree. A PC isnt as expensive as people probably fear (maybe around 600 to get a decent PC that can run anything pretty smoothly) and they probably need a PC anyway. So instead of buying a bad PC and a console buy a gaming PC. Or just wait until the next console generation and instead of buying that you save a few hundred more and get a gaming PC. PC gaming is also cheaper on the long term. Each game is 10-20 euros/dollars cheaper. If a console user buys for example 6 console games for the 5 years hes owned the console and the same PC game wouldve been approximately 15 euros/dollars cheaper you'd have saved 450 euros/dollars if you had a PC instead of a console. Then theres also the xbox network thing that costs (as far as I know). Those combined with the price of the console would easily be enough for a really good gaming PC. If someone has a problem with keyboard/mouse or smaller screen then they can just a controller and use their tv when playing. Also games are generally a lot better on PC so there's no reason to buy a console unless someone doesnt want to pay a few hundred more initially despite everything.

oh yes my beastly PC combined with my beastly xbox LED controller.. the best experience

What better features? The 360 doesn't have a Blu-Ray drive, an internet browser, or free online services (hence Netflix streaming at no additional costs) while the PS3 does and has more exclusives, is overall more powerful, and is more reliable. The 360 is, objectively, truly an inferior platform and what do you mean the PS3 does not deserve Skyrim... and by obsolete you mean what?

>Dissing ps3
>Calling skyrim "obsolete" before it even comes out


Trolls be trolling hard on this thread. Hopefully it gets locked soon before this get out of hand, :brokencomputer:
