Yeah, I said the console version of BF2 was darker than it's PC cousin, BUT that was done to hide inferior textures, so I don't know 'bout X360's case (because I doubt the X360 would suffer from the same thing).
Relax!
Relax!
What? Correct brightness level? No such thing. That's completely individual setting.
For me I've found it to be a problem with this game only. All my other games, and DVD playback, look fine, even condemned has more detail in the dark areas and that's meant to be a gloomy game.
It shouldn't be more difficult in terms of system features. But it could be that devs are using FP10 on XB360, and finding BW short on PS3, use LDR.
Marvel UA's main difference on PS3 is better lighting. You can tell quite a big difference too its quite nice. Also PS3 can do HDR by itself and can do HDR+AA using different techniques like 360 uses fp10
If you read IGN's review on MUA they go into some detail on it. Cheers
I made caps of the gametrailers vid.

Funny you say that, as I never saw any difference on the gametrailers videos. Here's all I found at IGN:
Bloom differences are not related to machine power or capabilities, I can tell you that for sure.
I really think any lighting differences are from ERP's explanation of where the colours saturate. It's basically nothing more than white-crush and a bit of black-crush on the PS3.

and yet the game looks better on the 360...
That was my thought as well. My feeling is that a lot of games, perhaps the vast majority of games are darker than they should be (or deliberately use dark scenarios), not just the Xbox 360 games mentioned. I always put this down to the need to hide poor textures, because the textures look washed out (comparatively) when you turn the brightness up.
I think for the shots with the enemy soldier, the 360 version looks the best, and the Wii version looks not just technically bad, but artistically lacking.
For the driving shots...are the 360 and ps3 versions even comparing the same area? The 360 version looks like a nighttime shot, whereas the ps3 looks like early morning or perhaps a setting sun. The 360 shots are too dark to really make out anything though, and the Wii shots were taken in interlaced instead of progressive.
Yeah, this looks quite different. If this is the same scene, then this is evidence of that developer statement about much better lighting and shadowing in the PS3 version...
Btw. the only thing that these closeup shots prove is that the PS3 version runs in full 720p whereas the Xbox 360 runs far below that (@ 1024x576), as was stated by some website in the other thread.
Funny, the PS3 version looks consitently more blurry to my eyes.
How would the screen shots show what res it is running at? The 360's scaler is capable of hitting just about any res, so screen grabs would be at whatever resolution the 360's scaler is set to.
I guess you can tell buy the aliasing, in this shot

the jaggies look to be 1 pixel in size, if the shot was scaled down the jaggies would be less then one pixel
but it's still kinda hard to tell since there seems to be some type of multi sampling, but the sampling looks the same on the PS3 shots, and the jaggies in the PS3 shot are 1 pixel also
To me the lighting looks more correct on the 360 though, since the guys back is to the light his face should have more of a silhouette effect like the 360 has, on the PS3 it looks like his face is lit
but I haven't played the game on either system and the only shots I have seen are the few that has been posted, so I don't know what else is going on in the scene
