In another edition of "my console is more powerful than yours", we've been informed that Bethesda's
Fallout 3 looks graphically superior on the Xbox 360 when compared to the Playstation 3. Or so says Playstation 3 magazine (PSM3).
You read correctly,
the UK's official Playstation magazine PSM3 received some hands-on time with
Fallout 3 and, as part of their game review, mentioned that "the PS3 version compares poorly to its Xbox [360] and PC counterparts." How very honest and un-fanboyish of them. But after their pro-360 words caused a stir within' the Playstation community, the PSM3 staff tried to calm Playstation fanboys by "clarifying" their
Fallout 3 remarks. "The PS3 version looks the same as on Xbox, but things in the distance are slightly jaggier/rougher, the textures seem 'muddier' up-close and the frame rate is choppier, especially during the last few story missions." Nice attempt at saving face.

PS3 fanboys take themselves too seriously.., they shouldnt have been all retarded about the comment but then again thats PS3 otaku for you. Dont get me wrong ive seen the 360 ones but even they seem to be able to take a joke. Reguardless.., All joking aside.., As long as the game is gorgeous on either system who really cares what you play it on.., the aforementioned is minute at best. I have all the systems and love and hate them all for different reasons. I developed for them too. The point is get the game.., support the DEV team and the company publishing it by buying it and not pirating it. And above all enjoy it and stop caring about whos CPUs are bigger and whos systems are girthier. Nuff said.~Q

PSM3 isn't the Official UK Playstation Magazine, that honour goes to OPM - Official Playstation Magazine.
PSM3 is independent.
Either ay, the game will be great on both platforms - obviously the blurrier textures and jaggier edges won't be hindering the Xbox 360 version :).

I was just about to say that.
No matter how much better the 360 version looks over Playstation, They both still trail Quad core PCs with dual GEforce 9500s, 8GB of RAM etc.

Dual 9500's aren't very fast. Dual 9800's maybe, but not 9500's.

I dunno, I've only got the one 8400.

500 and below in any series of cards, 6, 7, 8, or 9 absolutely blow for gaming. you want 600 and above.

Show me where you can get a top spec quad core processer, dual 9500's, 8gb of ram, plus all the other little things you need to get a working pc of the spec for under £150. They might trail it in the looks department, but not in the price department.

it would cost you around £850-£1000 to 'Build' a PC to that spec.

Your all idiots. Look into the facts before you believe anything.
PSM3 is NOT the official playstation magazine in the UK.
The official one is called OPM.
Get it right and look into the facts. Im dissapointed in all te fanboys for believing it, and xbox 360 fanboy for writing it.
BAD FORM

You should never expect "journalistic integrity" from any of Weblogs' "Fanboy" sites, or Joystiq for that matter.
Never.

I cant believe anyone is actually surprised, disappointed or in some way vindicated by this 'revelation'.
Has no one found it even the least bit suspicious that 5 days from its release, the PS3 version of the game has yet to be shown to the public? It never will either until people get their hands on it and start posting footage online themselves.
I also dont think anyone is upset by the obvious fact that the lead platform will always trump every other platform, they're upset with Bethesda pretending all this time like the PS3 version will be a pristine copy of the game, worth every penny the other platforms are. (Apparently the prospect of DLC and achievements are worthless in Bethesda's eyes). After such a successful port of Oblivion, I guess a lot of people just lifted Bethesda well above any station they deserve.
Personally, it makes no difference, I always planned on getting it on PC anyway.

The problem that the PS3 is having with ports is that since the PS3 still doesn't have as large of a base as does the 360 developers will choose the 360 as their base and will put a little less effort into the PS3 version but just enough to make the game respectable enough to be purchased by PS3 owners who dont have a 360. Orange Box, Rainbow Six Vegas and a few other titles seem to have suffered from this and consequently us multi-platform owners will choose the 360 for those games.
But not all developers have been this way, GTA IV was equally good on both systems. Bioshock seems identical on both judging from the demo on the PS3.
Regardless, Fallout 3 hasn't captured me yet, too many other good games this fall/winter. LBP, GOW, Dead Space, Resistance 2 etc.
I have no idea how I am ever going to get to play these games with a full time job. LOL

When development cost get as high as they have in recent years it only makes sense to build a console that is easy to program for. I'm sick of these claims that developers are not using the PS3 to it's "full" potential. Maybe they are. Just because Sony claims it is SOOOO powerful doesn't make it so. I'm sure any day now the PS2 will finally have Toy Story like graphics...And who will care at this point.

Tee hee. It may not be a big deal, hell it might not even be a 'deal' but I find this kinda funny. Little stories like this (and the crazy fanboy flame wars that follow) are always good for some entertainment.
