The Word of Chaos

I think the gaming world has been lit ablaze by Assassian’s Creed. Reviewers don’t seem to want to tell me if it’s any good or not. Hell, my friends can’t even agree on if it’s worth my time and hard earned money.

One thing I’ve heard multiple places is that the PS3 and the Xbox 360 versions look and perform differently. So, when I found this PS3 Vs. Xbox Comparison Video, I was more than a little curious.

One thing I’ve heard multiple places is that the PS3 and the Xbox 360 versions look and perform differently. So, when I found this PS3 Vs. Xbox Comparison Video, I was more than a little curious.

I’m not going to bother analyzing the video, because I’m not interested in starting a console religion war on my community blog… eh, screw it… War is fun.

In this video, the 360 version clearly wins. I noticed the PS3 version seemed somewhat jerky at times, where the 360 version didn’t slow down as much. The textures were much more crisp on the 360 version. It may have just been me, but the video made the PS3 version just look washed out.

Notice how I prefixed the paragraph above with “in this video.” I don’t think the video was entirely fair to the PS3 version (lowering the contrast would have been a lovely start.) Perhaps this was a demo using settings out of the box? I don’t know, the video information doesn’t say.

My own personal opinion is that the video is a little bit biased, but there are some things that are not affected by contrast that were presented in this video (i.e. the comparison of the eyes, frame rate issues). I believe the 360 version is probably the superior version.

That’s all I have to say on this subject.
