What's the point of making zebra patterns different? Anyway we need more full sized directfeed shots for more precise comparison.
There seems to be slight blurring on PS3 shots duo to lower resolution but it seems like AF on wall in 3rd shot is higher in PS3 version.I'm glad they didn't go for total parity if consoles can do other things better than the other one.
I don't know whats the point but it looks to me that way.In 720p shot also.

A few things I noticed from those shots. Am I crazy to say the textures are actually a bit sharper on the ps3 version especially in the first comparison? The fire distortion effect seems to be missing in the 360 shot.
On his arm?Yea,thats weird texture bug when you don't have game installed on your HDD.Checked on my TV and it looks sharp as that one I have posted before.
There are also differences in how trees are lit,and in bloom effect that i have seen from footages,seems bit less on PS3.There is definitely more AF on that 3rd shot on the wall on PS3 side.

I believe LoT guys dont install 360 version because it is not mandatory.
Could be some streaming delays compared to say the installed ps3 version.

Check the dude's chin on the right in the first pic, it's definitely sharper on ps3's. I thought the bloom is about the same, a bit more orange for the 360 though. Where did you get those shots from? They're the best quality I've seen yet.

ya, the bloom looks the same to me too. in the second pic, it appears to have more bloom on the 360 version (the added effect in the bottom right of the screen), but that may be simply because the player is in a slightly different spot.
I think there is also texture bug because there is texture loading on that guys shoulder as well.In this shot it appears to be exactly the same.I had comparison somewhere when you get out of the doors to the street,than big bloom,that HDR effect shines on you and it looked slightly pared back on ps3.Maybe because of different HDR method.No big deal.

I think character models look great btw.For example this one...

Definitely.Didn't check it without install but it definitely loads faster.I except it to have less pop in as well.PS3 has mandatory install so that might be problem with those textures loading later.
Now that's better, looks like installation is a must then. Also can you confirm the heat or water distortion effect is missing from the 360 build?
edit. Just checked the distortion is there.

In this screen the brightness seem a bit too high on the ps3... looking the last video comparison, need to decrease slightly the brightness on the ps3 to have a better palette & definition more close to 360.

The way I understand it, MP can be more demanding than SP since it's less controlled. A SP designer can place 5 enemies in one area to fight against the player, they know the enemies weapons, options for the player/enemies, etc. However in MP the developer can't control if all 12 players want to grab rocket launchers, meet up in one location, and just blow each other up.
One is slightly predictable/controllable, while the other isn't. Optimizing for the former seems like it would be easier than to optimize for the latter. So things may need to be scaled back or redesigned to help minimize any spikes.
On top of everything Al said, I also read that MLAA isn't the best pick for sub-HD resolutions. MLAA works better the higher resolution your game is running at. Could be wrong, don't remember where I read it, probably here.

Well, but cost a part, if MLAA was feasible, why not try its custom AA+MLAA? I think could to work greatly...
Game drops frames even without MLAA...quite alot:smile:

You can clearly see in the video that the PS3 version has worse LOD for shadows. Self shadows are poping near player or totally missing. The bug fest with decals is there too. The temporal AA is not working good in PS3 version. Maybe because of sub-HD?
