is it just me or the 360 version looks jaggier, no AA or lower res like mentioned earlier?

The AA is there looking a the picture (I notice MSAA samples on the edge) but you are right, jaggies are more evident how the less alpha on the ps3 version. I suspect too a lower resolution to the ps3 version but not that much. An another bizzarre particular: in the satellite view the foliage appears the same on both platform...

IIRC Al confirmed a while ago that both versions have the same AA (2xMSAA?) while the 360 version had slightly lower resolution.

I can wrong but seem more QAA vs 2xmsaa.

I thought it was 720p no AA on PS3 and lower res with 2xaa on 360.

You could be right, it's been a while since I've seen screens of either, so I don't remember if the ps3 screens had an extra blur or not.

Battlefield 3 XBOX 360 good quality screenshots. The top and bottom black bars are showing up now.

ya its really interesting how much the 360 version evolved from the beta. could tell that prior to the beta seem like they were going to fork the lighting and rendering resolution but ended up with 1280x704 like the ps3 version.

my thoughts on the shots tho.
those power lines looks like the kind of analytically aa they used for hot pursuit.

also noticed one shot with screen tearing so no triple buffering

seems like 2xmsaa, qaa. would explain the full screen blur on ps3.

Something doesn't look right with the horizontal res. Vertical is 720. Looks like some sort of edge filter on both platforms with aggressive edge detection possibly causing excessive blur.

 

[assurdum]

Probably I'm wrong but http://www.gametrailers.com/video/nycc-11-walkthrough-part/722795 infamous2 feast of blood seem used FXAA or a sort of edge detected; I know the link is 540p, but I noticed the linear edges too much smooth for no AA...

 

[Gitaroo]

might be just the video compression, if thats true then I hope they will patch the core game to support fxaa. Would be amazing.

So is it just me or does the "HD TEXTURE PACK" also alter geometry?

 

[AlNom]

Yep. There's higher res geometry LOD and textures.

 

[Gitaroo]

bump map or normal map maybe.

 

[Scott_Arm]

From repi, textures and meshes:

"When playing #BF3 on Xbox 360, please do install the HD pack for high-res textures & meshes, that's how the game is meant to be played"

Xbox 360 does not allow mandatory HDD installs, because not every xbox has one. PS3 has a mandatory install, so they did not have to deal with the same issue.

 

[Shifty Geezer]

Are PS3's assets the same as the HD pack then?

 

[AlNom]

As far as I know. It's on DF's plate as well, but there's a lot to do.

 

[Laa-Yosh]

Why would they be different? The BR disc certainly has enough storage, HD install is possible, the only possible difference would be the smaller amount of RAM but that can be overcome with a good enough streaming system.

 

[N_B]

Lots of Uncharted 3 shots:

still edge detect?

edit: is that AF in the desert shots?
