Virtua Tennis 3: PS3 version a little better (IGN)
- Thread starter ManuVlad3.0
- Start date
Oh brother! This thread is getting a little retarded. One reporter says the PS3 version looks a little better and people are running everywhere stating how Xbox 360 is inferior. Why is it not a single person is saying the obvious? PS3 is the lead SKu and the 360 version is a port of the main dev teams work. It's more than likely that the 360 version is lagging behind in some ways.
I don't get where people are making the connection to the difference being XGPU isn't powerful enough, or doesn't have enough bandwidth, or DVD9 can't provide enough space for this game. I mean seriously, these assumptions are rather silly. I prefer to stick to the most obvious answer, the 360 version isn't the lead sku and it may not have all features the main sku does (yet).

but, there have been people who mentioned that.
and btw it was three reporters. not that it makes a difference.

so my numbers are off but the point still stands
A lead sku will usually look better then the ports.so my numbers are off but the point still stands
but the lead sku is the arcade board, the 360/ps3 versions are the ports.
but the lead sku is the arcade board, the 360/ps3 versions are the ports.
An arcade game can't even be considered a sku in the same sense as a console game. PS3 is the lead console sku.
Not even when the console game is a port of the arcade game? lol
The most interesting thing is the people who infer that because the ps3 version is looking a bit better than the 360 version that somehow the 360 is hitting some sort of wall or limitation with this very average looking game and the ps3 is breezing through it with room to improve.
As others and myself have pointed out, this game is not pushing the graphical limits of next gen and to try and compare this title across ps3 and 360 as some sort of measuring stick for how the systems stack up tech wise is a friggin joke. Especially given the fact that this series was never a tech showcase anyways and was more focused on the gameplay. But some people get a woody when their favorite console is showing any edge over their competition.
There will be cross platform titles which will be on the cutting edge and give us a glimpse into the positives and negatives of ps3 and 360 but this isn't one of em.
Wake me when vt3 is on the shelf so I can have a go with my favorite tennis series.

yeah a port from inferior hardware. if you want to go and argue semantics then go right ahead. You're not adding to this thread by doing this, and I'm not going to continue talking to you if you keep that up.

What is it that you're really trying to say? All this back and forth is unnecessary.
On a slightly related note, this is how Maria Sharapova looks in the Xbox 360 game Top Spin 2.

Regular
very nice next gen face with old gen hair..
I hope that in the final release code they will care about the hair because in the gameplay it can make fine the animation of the model, at this stage is not more than a low res texture glued to the head of model

the most interesting thing is the abundance of 360 titles we've had lately that looked better than the PS3 versions, but most people had the maturity to realize it was just due to development cycles rather than hardware.
Then the second a PS3 game looks like it might be, "slightly" better, here they come out of the woodwork, all but gloating about the superior hardware.
Some people really need to grow up, it's Virtua Tennis, it's not like it is very impressive to begin with!
"Slightly better" isn''t what the original post mentioned though. So there!
All kidding aside...There are two different development teams working on this port. One is star SEGA developer AM2. The other is Sumo Digital which isn't a star SEGA developer. If people are unable to realize this then there is no reason to discuss the topic further. That alone will tell you that there will be differences during the game being ported to different machines. It is that simple really, so leave it at that.
And Virtua Tennis 3 may not look to be the charmer, but I do believe it shall play better than Top Spin 2. And that's all the impressiveness I need.
Now if this thread further continues to babble on about Xbox 360 vs. Playstation 3 then it will be locked.

Sure it was " allowing us to see the slight differences between the two"
Certainly on the GPU side of things, but I wonder how many developers would pick a Northwood P4 over a 3-core dual-issue/in-order PPC. The Xbox 360 CPU probably has the advantage if you can write code to take full advantage of it.
I have both Top Spin and Virtua Tennis, and VT is hands down the better game. No comparison. Can't wait for this one.
