Call of Duty 4: Modern combat trailer up
- Thread starter Rangers
- Start date
I was skeptical of console controls in FPS games, but I'm just finishing Resistance and now quite adept with the controller. My 50" plasma + 5.1 is - for me at least - far more emmersive than my 24" monitor...might have something to do with chair vs. couch/headphones vs. 5.1 and the dark room in the basement...
Still a bit torn.

Yes this game depends heavily on CPU for whatever reason which I dont find justicable considering what is rendered, AI and scripted. A single core CPU has problems mantaining the framerate wilst a dual-core does a far better job, with same GPU. :smile:
Some texture comparison photos:
Look over the tire and between the fence. There is more debris/object in the 360 shot and than the PS3 screenshot. And no, this has nothing to do with the angles. Both are looking at the same area.
Btw, it's funny to see people downplay CoD4 since it's cross platform but Halo3 was being slammed left and right.
The texturing on that wall is laughable. It's not a quarter the resolution, but 1/16th. How can this be explained? If they were being sensible, they'd have reduced a larger number of textures to half/quarter size to accommodate memory problems. It looks instead like they were using full texture quality and then found they were out of room, and which point they just started shrinking the few remaining textures. 
The other explanation I can think of is that there's a mip-mapping/LOD problem. Think GeOW as the textures load, and they jump from low quality to high quality.

I *think* I can see a soldier lying on the ground aiming with a gun...
I disagree - it's not even a quarter the resolution, the difference is less than that.
By the way, I think the 360 version is normalmapped, while the PS3 is baked, but this can only be proven in motion... the same for the ground - it is baked with more extreme lighting settings, that's why some people like it more - it's more pronounced.
maybe that, and the other looks like a truck with something on the flack.
Yep agreed, it looks like someone holding a gun to me.
Also it should be noted that while the wall texture in the PS3 version is poor, the ground texture is significantly superior.

I think that is caused by the to high sharpness levels.
Also you have to remeber these shots are from 1080P, and I think we know the PS3's scalar is worse then the 360's wouldn't this be deterimental to the image?.
(Smiling at the regular crew sniping at details)Which level is that ? I can go see for myself.
The graphics rivals the best in CoD4, but I think I prefer some more artistic treatment than just making things look more realistic (Laa-Yosh, if you're reading this... I finally understood a little what you meant by art ;-) ).
Definitly, and the filtering is higher as well, 8x anisotropic? easily noticiable on both the original and the other zoomed one posted. Seems that the X360 favours more detail up close range while the PS3 went for some balance in between.

I think we need someone with 360 version to check this out.
? check out what?
That definitely is a dude with a gun.
These comparisons are a little strange to me. So many off screen pictures blown up 1000 times. There are obviously some differences, but the quality on these images is really bad. A side-by-side video comparison would be nice.
Video compression screws image quality much worse than still image compression, so the difference should be pretty drastic to be visible in a reasonably-compressed video.
You got me on that one.
Ok, someone mail me their consoles and the games, and I promise I'll do an impartial side-by-side evaluation at my house.
I forgot. You have to send me your HDTV as well.
