Is framerate as bad on 360 as PS3?

Hey Bombers!!

I was dying to get a copy of this after all the GOTY discussions, but all my local stores were sold out of the 360 version, so I ended up nabbin a copy of the PS3 one. I gotta say though, the framerate is pretty atrocious whenever....well, ANYTHING happens! It's not taking me out of the actual gameplay TOO much, but it is hella annoying, especially when there's alot going on enemy-wise, the game slows down so much its like a slideshow!!

Is this an XCOM issue, or a PS3 issue?

Cheers guys!! :D

I own Xcom on the PC and the frame rate is perfect all the time ;)

It's fine on 360. No major issues.

Always!! :D

And cool about the 360, I think I'll see if anywhere near has any 360 copies in so I can switch em over on trade in! Pity there's no optional install for the PS3 to sort it out, but not to worry!!

Thanks guys!!

I'm currently playing the 360 version and there are definitely some slowdowns here and there. Don't know if it's better or just as bad as on PS3 though.

on 360 no frame-rate issues for me. only time it gets slow is sometimes when its the aliens turn and it takes a few seconds before i can move my guys even though they're selected

I haven't gotten any slowdown on the 360.

Frame rate on 360 is solid, although the hard locks are another discussion.

Hope this helps. Looks like PS3 is the worst version in terms frame-rate.

Thanks guys!! Yeah seems I crapped out getting the PS3 one, which tbh I kinda thought it would be a worse version but I was sick of being told the 360 one was out of stock and I had a voucher to use!!

If the 360 one comes back in stock I'll nab that!!

Thanks again!!
