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

It's just *bilinear on PS3*, *PCF-ish weird thing on 360*
edit number something: PS3 is PCF with low number of taps.
They're doing something weird on 360 that tries to be PCF of some sort, but much lower sampling/gradations. A 2x2 filter perhaps?
The image quality is somewhat peculiar depending on occluder/receiver distances though. The 360 falling apart at extreme cases as shown above, but at other times, it has the appearance of an upscaled polygon edges versus *rounded* jagged edge, if you could call it that. I'll try to get a pic of what I mean.
Edit: attached pics... click to enlarge...
Inadequate filter or insufficient # of taps or sampling for those.

Perhaps Bandwidth issues ?
Nobody sees the lack of aniso on the ground in the 360 shot.
The screenshots aren't even properly aligned... I'm sure grandmaster's analysis will be enlightening on a few points.
Just a heads-up: bringing PC facts into a console TECHNOLOGY forum has merits. Often, the only way to properly analyse which console version's image quality is "correct" is through the PC version. Having said that, there's no need to point out the PC version of a game is better; let's stick with the technology.
Lens of Truth just posted a feature covering the color differences between the default PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 settings. They also plot the changes between the two console over all of the slider positions.

Though it would seem the reverse there judging by road end. Also Digital Foundry article says 360 has the upper hand in AF amount.

I know nvidia had a patent on shadowmap filtering but I thought there was a workaround that you could do with ATI?
I have seen the xbox360 method before with my shadows I forget now exactly why it was caused
shadow filtering is gonna be much more apparent closer to the camera
WRT bloom
Ive always been of the opinion only use a bloom buffer, or else the
A/ the scene will look washed out (I can point out parts in MW2 where you cant see the detail of the wall cause its washed out by the bloom)

At the end of the day the differnce between the versions is minimal (compared to most other cross platform titles)

Regular
FP10 vs. standard INT8 perhaps?
On that note the PC version seems to be using the same quality/technique for shadow filtering as the 360 version, despite the PS3 implementation looking nicer (to my eyes at least).
See here (some good comparison shots here between all three versions, well worth a look):

The PC version shadows upclose/dist look atleast like PS3, just saw it (ATI 4xxx series). Depending on angle and part the shadow LOD varies from sharp to blurry but not looking 'unfiltered'.
Not mine and dont know settings but the shadows are visible.

Perhaps but the bloom is also gone for PS3.

correct me if I'm wrong: the PC lacks SSAO (not that it's in the consoles but with more powerful hardware, it should be a standard).
Sadly only Nvidia users can force it on by brute force. Though baked in SSAO would still be nice across platforms.
