Image Quality and Framebuffer Analysis for Available/release build Games *Read the first post*

Never mind, it's something funky at my end. Just checked again and this time the XB360 version had the posterized clouds! Reloaded both pics and neither had posterization. It's as if IE's image rendering decided randomly to limit the pic to 256 colours or something :???:
 
I'm wondering if they've patched the bug that stops all the dynamic lights and shadows working if you've paused it?

I thought they were pretty much equal in that regard but the last picture shows a massive difference.
 
It would certainly be a surprise if the PS3 version could push >1.5x the pixels of the 360 version for "free". It will be interesting to see how big the difference in framerate is between the two.

Have we heard anything from the studio to suggest why there's such a difference (e.g. talk of lead platforms or development issues)?

I'd guess it's because of the 10MB of eDram, if you don't tile then you won't be fitting 720p 2x in it and it seems they chose 576p 2x AA over 720p 0xAA.
 
Nice timing. I'm looking at Tomb Raider now. There is a clear resolution and IQ advantage to the PS3 code, which is very clean.

Thanks! Btw is it me or is the xbox version lacking shadows in the second and last set?
 
If the previous poster is on the money, perhaps I paused the game!

EDIT: I didn't. In those sections there does appear to be shadowing in the PS3 version of the game absent in the 360. Either that or the light sources are at different places as the 360 game definitely has shadows.
