Image Quality and Framebuffer Speculations for WIP/alpha/beta/E3 games *Read the first post*

Probably but how many times the final code has better resolution of the preview code?

 

Never. Never in the history of B3D.

 

Beijing Olympics saw a resolution increase between the release of the demo and the full game but that's it.

There is nothing wrong with MazingerDUDE's analysis of Ghostbusters. I mean, the difference is night and day and I have retail code for both. It's the worst cross-platform development I think I've seen in ages... like time-warping back to 2006.

 

From other shots I've seen, it looks like it could simply be a bias issue. Should be fixable/tweakable.

 

I don't know...

in the Gametrailers video, the PS3 version looks much better, or rather much closer to the Xbox version. It also has more debris, a more stable framerate in certain situations (i.e. the water flowing down the stairs)... But, as always with GT, the compression is hard on the eyes, so the blurring can be deceiving.

 

forza 3 photomode seems to add 16xAA, and other effects such as using the high LOD models etc (correct me if im wrong someone), forza 2 added 4xAA if i remember right

 

You are right. On GT ps3 version don't seems so terrible I mean surely 360 is true hd but ps3 don't seems so low...remember me 1024×720p of CoR dark athena...

 

So basically the two versions are the same, right? Advantage for the devs that they don't have to worry too much about different art, and can avoid tiling on the 360 as well.

 

I think it's more accurate they paid to get to release this game at the same time the Blu-Ray launched. I suspect Atari, or whatever's left of them in EU would have delayed anyway.

 

Except one is supposedly half the resolution of the other.

 

Are Quaz51's pics direct captures, or captures from the GT video? I'm not sure what I'm seeing.

 

GT video

 

Those are undoubtedly the same version, with GT doing their usual colour saturation tweaks, and calling it different.

Either that, or Lens of Truth and MazingerDUDE both completely fabricated their counts.

Considering GT has been caught on this REPEATEDLY, and the community here is quite trustworthy, I'm going to go with the former.

 

Well, 360 is surely 'pure' hd, the better resolution is evident. However ps3 has some more effects watching GT video, but the resolution remains worse only seems a little bit better.

 

No. I'm not talking of the pictures but not appears so in the full video of GT.

 

Sorry, but MazingerDUDE very rarely gets it wrong... certainly when it's not night and day like this:

360 Pic 1
360 Pic 2
PS3 Pic 1
PS3 Pic 2

 

Well ok let me rephrase then - I can't see much of a difference in resolution judging from the GT video. I haven't seen any other shots of the 360 version yet.

EDIT: hadn't, thanks grandmaster. The V on the Venkman label on the sweater shows a clear difference in horizontal texture resolution. I'm not sure if the resolution difference is as big in the overall image though. The QAA on the PS3 version is very clearly not doing the image many favors, and contrasted with the (much) better texture resolution and filtering already and less agressive AA (2x?) on the 360, I'm getting the impression from the Pic 1 for each console you've posted that the native resolution is identical for both platforms. Am I really that blind?

 

Bah. I can confirm that you can't even read signs/words in the PS3 version - all blurred out.

 

Quaz....can you please confirm the game's resolution?
