    Not seeing that much of a difference. I would wait for actual video, it's one thing to look at a still image, it's another thing to see them in motion. ^.^

    The real test is to also compare the framerates. From those pics, though, the 360 has slightly better antialiasing. All of those still images make the game look a lot worse than it did in the quick look, though.

    I can't really tell them apart, asides from some minor brightness/contrast differences.

    i've heard time and time again, the brightness difference is just a result of how video capture works for each system. i've compared a few games for myself (such as red faction guerrilla, street fighter iv and modern warfare 2) without noticing any difference on my tv set, so i'm inclined to believe the vid-capture explanation for the consistent brightness difference between the systems.

    Yeah, it seems that whevever some shitty site does a "360 vs PS3" comparison they turn off Full Range in an attempt to make the PS3 version look more washed out, getting more pageviews, which is getting them more ad revenue. =

    Console wars is just nitpicking and doesn't deserve a spot on Giantbomb.

    The Gamespot review mentions the 360 version has horrid screen tearing and a poor frame rate during combat that it is noticeable enough to distract you from the game. Sounds like technical issues across the board on that version. Their review mentions the PS3 version from a technical standpoint looks and feels fine. 
     
    As for the images linked in the original post, pretty easy to turn contrast ratios up and down for those comparisons. Wait till a more reputable site does something like this before judging each version of the game. That being said most reputable sites don't do the "X vs Y version image comparison" stuff as it is complete crap to begin with.
     
    But like I said for now Gamespot's review makes plenty of mention that the 360 version suffers from a nasty frame rate during combat and horrid screen tearing when the camera is rotated so take from that what you will.

    I dunno, I barely notice a difference between the screen shots. Why do people still do this? For games like Bayonetta where there is a considerable difference sure, I understand but other games and all the time?! The game still looks great and runs fine on PS3 thus far for me.

    No, I think it is incredible looking, graphically speaking.
     
    Shame about the screen tearing, hopefully they get that fixed up soon.
    If people just don't like the game and it fails, fine - but I'd hate to see an issue like that become the cause of this game's downfall.

    Huh, kind of nice for a game to have such a wide spectrum of opinions.

    Tends to happen with most games that have a heavy style element to their visuals.
    I can totally understand how it wouldn't appeal to others - but man oh man it is right up my alley visually.

    The game is the same.  Just one put on a BlueRay disk and other on a DVD.  Programmers laugh at this all the time.  It is the same game.

    Sometimes this game does have an occasional muddy texture but all in all it's a great looking game. AND ITS COLORFUL!

    One difference being that the 360 version does suffer pretty badly from screen tearing.
    But there is at least a patch coming.
