Xbox 360 has better framerate, Ps3 has SSAO, PS3 has better shadows, Xbox 360 has better AA, Both the games are amazing no matter what you pick,Thread over.

Grainy shadows are the last thing people would look to to notice it's got an 'old story' vibe. If they were serious about playing in a noir inspired style they would have used the option to play in black and white anyway.

I bought the PS3 version of the game, but it wasn't because of which version was better. I usually always buy the PS3 version of a game and only buy 360 games when they're either exclusives or majority of my friends have the 360 version.

Looking at the "pipe" in the screenshots, Xbox360 is better

.
Also, Mafia II and RDR looked better.
But I got only a 360 anyway...

why opt for ps3 games? just curious lol since most ps3 games run at 720p while xbox versions at 1080p(this is why i opt xbox for multi console versions) with L.A. noire suffering from the same,

I wonder when will ps3 just let games run at 1080p since the console is running at 1080p and once the majority of games run the tv flops to 720p. I know its not the tv and it be silly to think that companies who make a multi game would have the 1080p option on xbox but not in ps3 and its the same game lol. The funiest part is if u set the ps3 to ONLY run at 1080p by eliminating the other output choices and try to run a game it gives an error stating the software does not support any of the current resolutions :/

So to me almost every game i buy is on xbox not cause of any reason besides the 1080p output in games this in my tv makes games look better, thankfuly most ps3 exclusives run at 1080p. but example ff13 I grabebd it on ps3 due to being 1 disk vs 3, not graphics so I dont think next gen consoles should go lightyears ahead on graphics but rather add the features tv's have (1080p, 3d) and go the nintendo way, cant wait for the wii 2 since the rumors say its a 1080p machine its gona replace my wii instantly if the BWC works just like the Dolphin on my pc(where I play wii if the game allows it just to have 1080p wii games)

im facing this dilemma

i can pirate it on 360, but i respect rockstar and their games and this really does deserve a purchase , so dunno still torn between if i should just ignore my morals and pirate away or get it for the PS3 (which is strictly only for online gaming and exclusive games)
can pirate it on ps3 too:P

I don't care about which console has the best graphics etc. PS3 has a larger library that appeals to me, while the 360 mostly gets used in the other room for Netflix purposes because there are very few exclusives that are interesting to me or coming out in the future. Also I have a 3D TV and play a lot of games like Killzone 3, Crysis 2, Mortal Kombat, The Sly Collection, Super Stardust HD and Motorstorm Apocalypse in 3D.

BEST. TROLL. EVER. Just curious but how long does it take you to type up something so factually inaccurate so fast? It amazes me how you say you opt for xbox versions except FF13 because of how many discs it were yet you grabbed L.A. Noire for xbox even though it has the same amount of discs? Damn you win, no one could resist that excellent trolling.

No I understand this mentality, a lot of people would want the 'best' version, however it is just odd that this was on the front page. I mean I can understand it being in the forums but on the front page just seemed odd. It's no different from any other discussion about which multi-platform game has better graphics on a particular console.

No it doesn't. I'm not a fanboy, but the PS3 had a positively significant advantage over the 360 when it came to framerate. The only part where the PS3 version was lower was in a small fraction of the shootout scene.

simply because xbox 360 runs at 1080p while the ps3 one runs at 720p, in the case of ff13 the ps3 one runs at 1080p, in my case 1080p is the top decision when buying games. Its as simple as that. and its not inaccurate i have 280 ps3 games tested and 485 xbox ones on the ps3 side only 27 of them run at 1080p rest drop to 720p when the game loads(ps3 runs at 1080p) on the 360 however only 20 or so games drop to 720p and these are old games which didn't have 1080p to begin with. So i was wondering what makes some ppl prefer ps3 versions of games when its multiconsole, is it the gamepad, number of disks, looks better to them in ps3? everyone is entitled to their opinion and I was simply curious. In my case 1080p is the most important factor when gaming in a next gen console. Its a quirk I enjoy and my personal grading curve towards movies and games. Calling my comment trolling just makes you look like a fanboy trying to defend a console by stating the resolution factor is inaccurate when it is. If i value resolution first/media quantity second and then the rest its just how I choose, but I can also be curious as what are the reasons the other tempers choose a specific console for a specific purpose, everyone has a reason why they like something more than something else, fanboys dont event try the competition they just try to defend their console. I buy every console the market produces no mater if its junk, scrapped, bad sales or good. I simply collect consoles, if they remade every RPG the ps2 had in 1080p on the ps3 I would buy every one of them, but since that aint hapening I have to resort to using emulators on my PC to get 1080p up-scaling which isnt the same time but looks a heck lot better than the built in ps2 method my ps3 has. Only portables I accept lower resolutions because the screen was made with the console in mind, but if I have to hook up a console to my tv sadly things like the wii hurt my eyes so i had to go to an old 32 inch tv for the wii.(the one with the nes and other clasics) Wich has left me with PC/PS3/XBOX360 as the major competitors for my main TV but (and I owned the ps3 before the xbox) the ps3 wasn't using the most out of my tv and right now its only use is Blu ray player, games that use the 3d of my tv and ps3 exclusives or big games that are single disk but include 1080p and Ive had a few state 1080p in the box and once home they are 720p so i take em back and grab the xbox copy and Gamestop dosent give me any lip about it because im not the only one that does this in my area.

There is a comparison video and it clearly shows the PS3 version as the successor. Not only are the textures sharper and more defined but the drawing distance on the PS3 version is practically infinite. Meaning when you look into the distance on the PS3 version you can see buildings and people as far as a human can see whereas on the 360 version you can clearly see that everything gets cut off at a certain point. Not to mention that since PS3 is on Bluray you only have one disc rather than swapping between 3 DVDs like on xbox. I also think that's why the PS3 version looks better because they have a huge amount of space leftover on a bluray even after 3 DVDs worth of data to put higher resolution textures.

Just to correct the painfully obvious technical NOOB in this thread about this whole "xbox has 1080p" nonsense you should realize that multi-platform games that run in 720p on PS3 and 1080p on 360 is not because the 360 is better in anyway. It's because 360 chooses to force an upscale on the game to 1080p rather than leave it at the native resolution of 720p. This causes quality loss considering you are stretching the image but they think it helps market the game better to dumbies like you when it says 1080p on it (looks like it works). Playstation chooses to leave the games at their native resolution but still give you the CHOICE to upscale to 1080p. So if the game is done in 720p then it remains in 720p which retains it's quality unless you choose to force upscale to 1080p. So sorry buddy but you're insanely wrong and should do some research before spouting off opinions on what's better when you clearly don't even know what you're talking about.

I bet people like him go around convincing people to get a 360 based on false information like that and it's seriously ridiculous. What is hilarious is how some people are such whores for numbers when deep down they know it makes no difference whatsoever. The difference between 720p and 1080p on an HDTV is so minimal that the human eye can't even tell the difference. You need an HD projector set at a minimum of 100 inches to even see any benefit. But these people are so hung up on what's "better" that if the market tells them it's better they'll be willing to shell out more money for it. This guy damedus doesn't even realize how pointless the 1080p upscale is. He is just one of those goofballs who thinks his game is better because it says 1080p at the top when he starts the game. He's reaching desperately for a reason to justify his purchase rather than really look at the facts.

People are so ridiculously sensitive about purchases these days that they will flat out lie about being upset that features are missing or will pretend like they like something that annoys them just so they can say "what I own is better than what you own". God forbid someone admits when something they own is sub-par or is lacking features that another thing has. His mommy probably told him he had to choose just ONE system for christmas and little tommy picked 360 so now he has to say it's the best thing ever even if he finds himself wishing he got a PS3 instead.

Here are LEGIT reasons to compare when it comes to the two consoles. PS3 outperforms the 360 in so many ways and has so many features and exclusives that 360 is lacking for the same price point that it's almost absurd not to consider PS3. Way way WAY better exclusives that you are HORRIBLY missing out on like Uncharted, God Of War 3, Infamous, Resistance, Killzone, Metal Gear Solid, Littlebigplanet, Heavy Rain, Ratchet and Clank, MAG, Ninja Gaiden, and on and on and on, bluetooth controllers that have internal batteries that charge via USB so you don't have to shell out money for some stupid 360 controller charge pack, SATA hard drive that is swappable with any 2.5" SATA drive instead of some clunky xbox hard drive where you have to pay a fortune just to get 250GB, FREE internet gaming and playstation store, not only plays blurays but the games are on bluray and it also plays 3D blurays, Wireless WiFi built-in instead of paying $100 for some stupid 360 connector or needing to shell out money for the new xbox model, and the list goes ON AND ON.

I own both systems by the way so there's no shilling here. That's just the facts and seriously other than Gears of War the 360 doesn't have much going for it. I sense Microsoft going downhill during the next console wars. With the new Playstation Vita handheld coming out which is compatible with PS3 and eventually a Playstation 4 it's something that Microsoft simply can't compete with. Sony and Nintendo with their new Project Wii U will lead the next console wars for sure so mark my words and see.
