Any Differences between RE5 on PS3 or 360

The only difference between the two you'll notice is the slight framerate drop in hectic scenes that the PS3 experiences.

This, in my opinion, is countered by the loudness of the 360 during operation. If you install the game to the hard-drive, this is nullified.

Honestly, if you have gold live and most of the people you know getting it are 360 players, get it for 360. If you know mostly PS3 owners who will be playing it and/or you're kind of flaky on paying for Live like I am, get it for PS3. Don't concern yourself with the graphics differences because I can assure you, Capcom is a multi-million dollar corporation. They did what they could to the best of their abilities to make the game look and run great on both systems. Expect it to be like the SF4 differences. Graphics are slightly better on 360, but I'll be damned if I ever saw a difference.

Playing SF4 on PS3, the only difference I noticed was the longer loading time during the Versus splash on the PS3. Other than that, they looked exactly the same.

Hey, I'm just posting what I found, the guy asked for proof. I don't care one way or the other.

EDIT: Ah, forgot to mention. On the plus side, the PS3 version has v-sync, but the 360 does not. That's why it has the a screen tear every once in a while on the 360 version. It does come at a cost on the PS3 though ... the frame rate loss you're seeing. So there is a reason for it.
 
[quote name='Paco']I actually got a PS3 to get away from the idiocy of the average 360 owner. I still play on the 360 some frequency as I bum my cousins 360, but I can in all honesty say the PSN group is far more mature and far more sane then the live community. 90% of insults I see and hear are from Live. This is most likely because they give everyone a mic and mic + internets + general secrecy = SHITfuckCUNTASSGAY$$$TWATYOU or the fucktard complex. The PSN service may not have as many mic users, and I'm glad for that. Though I have met my share of idiots on PSN "Mostly from Home" But the worst idiot on PSN is about the average idiot on live. AND THAT is the TROOF.[/quote]


I guess its just the games I'm playing then because I hear just as much assholedness (I made a new word :whee:) on PSN as I do Live.

Denial.
Xbox Superior Confirmed.

Thats what like 180-3 in the favor of 360 now?
 
collector editions extras will be on bluray in HD on the PS3 and the 360 gets DVD SD footage
 
Unless you have the hands of a baby I don't see how anyone prefers the 360 controller. I like the layout of the analog sticks a little better but the buttons are all cramped so close together and the analog sticks are so tiny with very little range of motion.
 
[quote name='crzyjoeguy']id say 360 just because i like the paddle much more than the ps3 paddle, thats just me though.[/quote]

Same. I couldn't care less about 3fps dips during some action or unlocking arcade crap in home, but god, I hate the ps3 controller. And no HowStern, I don't have small baby hands.

It's just preference, nothing to with hand size. And if it did you'd have it backwards as the tiny dual shock should be more comfortable for kids and people with small hands! Most sony fans who bash people for liking the 360 controller better say those people must have giant ape hands or something. :D

I think the offset anlog sticks feel more naturally--mainly the placement of the left stick. The sticks being convex rather than concave keeps my thumbs from slipping off as much. The triggers are much better shoulder buttons for shooters. Face buttons are fine on both.

Most importantly the 360 pad is just more ergonomic and feels better in my hands. I've never liked the dual shock--PS1 and PS2 where my most played consoles the past two gens so it's useable for sure.

But I much prefer the 360, it's easily my favorite controller I've used in my 25 years or so of gaming. But it's definitely a to each their own thing.
 
^Yeah. I like the offset analog sticks better too. When I got my PS3 I was wishing I could use my 360 controller for it somehow (which is now a possibility) because of that. But I got used to the ps3s analog sticks. I also like the 360 triggers better because they curve up keeping slipping off less of a possibility. But I like how the PS3 triggers and r1 and l1 buttons are all pressure sensitive. Like for zooming and stuff, it's neat but only really noticeable in MGS4 when choking people and stuff.
 
[quote name='J7.']The far majority of people played past RE on a PS console, RE1,2,3,CV,4,O,O2. DC had 1 RE game. Wii had 1 regular RE game. GC had all but other than RE 0,1,& 4 they were limited and rarely purchased as they were over priced.[/QUOTE]

Dreamcast had THREE Resident Evil titles: 2, 3, and CV. Regardless, why would it matter if they were played on a previous console? Half of the RE games came out on other platforms before making their way to Sony's machines.
 
So insane people compare things so closely. Unless the difference is like this -

Than people are just nit-picking. People even said (about the Dead Rising comparison) that it still wasn't enough to justify purchase on 360.

[quote name='Maklershed']PS3 controller = awesome for racing and fighting games
360 controller = everything else (especially fps)[/quote]

Agreed. Although I do enjoy PS3 for adventure titles/hack N slash games.

There is no beating 360 controller for FPS games though. Although - I am loving Killzone 2 right now.
 
I know I'm really late with this but I just joined the forums (how did I not know a forum for penny pinching gamers like me existed!?!?)

2 difference I've heard of.

EuroGamer said that the textures in the PS3 version were a little more jagged, although they only noticed it after zooming in 200%...so I think that to the average person you're never going to notice it.

The big difference for me though is that I've heard that the PS3 version requires a mandatory 5GB install to your hard drive. The 360 version will not, although I imagine for the sake of faster loading I'll probably install it.

You should mention that the 360 controllers only work on a PS3 hacked with linux, and not with a normal PS3, or with PS3 games at all.

I always thought they were both fine for whatever. I mean, the only difference is the placement of the analog stick. I'll never understand why people make such a big deal about it.

Installing a second OS on the PS3 isn't hacking it...You just go to the system menu and select "Install new OS"
It's an advertised feature.

Secondly, you don't have to do that, you can make the controller by replacing the 360 controllers guts
http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/01/how-to-make-a-ps360-controller/
for people that care enough.
But I definitely prefer the PS3 controller for the d-pad and less cramped buttons.

edit: for the record, I do own both systems, so, I have experience with both controllers :p . I just usually go with PS3 for games because I don't use Live,for in true cheapassgamer form, I refuse to pay for a wireless adapter or online service when I can just use PSN for free. Can't beat free when you're a cag.

Hacked with Linux? Sony put the option there themselves, I'd hardly call that hacking.

lmao not what i was expecting but finally the mystery is solved. ty. cool pic though it has that watercolor look to it like okami.
 
[quote name='dallow']GC controller > DS3, 360[/quote]

youre joking right? the gc was one of the worst controllers ever ( just under the original xbox crayon box with buttons). i hated that yellow stick dealy and that gay button ( the one above the r button) damn thing always threw me off. i loved the n64 controller though . the 360 controller does have better should buttons ( i hate how sensitive r2 is on the ds3) but aside from that theres not much else i think it has over a ds3 aside from being able to use it with a pc.
 
Not joking.
It's so damn comfortable with it's curves. 360 controller is pretty close in terms of comfort.

I liked it's familiar yet different design too.
I also hated the N64 controller, so we must also hate each other too. ;)
 
Where is the second pic, or does mouse-over not work here at my office?

I've seen the pics though.
PS3 version is lacking with the effects (look, no reflections in the water!) and overall sharpness of details.
 
i hope they let you use a damn chainsaw. thats one weapon they need to add and to go for bonus points you should be able to use it in one hand and a shotgun in another.

thats one thing i loved silent hill 1 for all those cool extra hidden weapons and the multi endings. that laser gun was the shit.

Wow, Capcom sucks dick at ports.

K, i'll get 360 version. But, my 360's HDD is way to small and it runs way to slow... and all my friends are on the PS3.

BUT, I don't think I am going to get RE5 so soon after launch. I didn't really enjoy the demo - Left 4 Dead has spoiled me with it's zombie-ness...
 
[quote name='dallow']They shouldn't have fired the guy who did the awesome DMC4 port.[/quote]

Without him, any multiplatform game from capcom will always triumph on the 360.
 
[quote name='Monsta Mack']DMC4 was AWESOME on the PC.
No Joke. That shit ran like butter.[/QUOTE]

true that.

I think I'm gonna go with the 360 (despite the wind tunnel noise and risk of RROD). I was split because I had friends getting it for either system, but I guess the 360 controller + slightly better performance tilted. Thanks for the links guys.
 
[quote name='distgfx']http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/face-off-resident-evil-5-article

From the analysis they showed on the footage, the 360 almost never dips below 30fps while the PS3 dips to 28fps quite frequently. Every once in a while it dips to 26fps. Just saying what I saw in the footage on there and what I read.[/quote]
Ugh so what Capcom did is they made this game engine that lets them have a free PC game out of developing the console titles for each game that uses that engine. Which is stupid because the PC versions will just get pirated. So console players get the shaft so people can pirate.

I really wish they would just tone the graphics down a hair so that the 360 cinematics look fine and the PS3 framerate is stable, more than I care about how pretty the game looks. Getting jarred from the experience by tearing or unstable framerate is worse, it takes you out of the game and into what was that territory.

Sorry I forgot that DC had 3 RE games not 1. The point I was trying to make is that most people have played the past RE games mostly with PS style controllers. Half of the RE games did not come out on other platforms before making their way to Sony machines. The series debuted on PS and sold a lot better on PS machines than any other platform, and every main game and the majority of side games were on PS. RE 2 and 3 did not sell much on DC, they were late ports.

Why would it matter if they were played on a previous console? Because we were talking about which controller people would prefer for RE 5 earlier. And I've heard many times on message boards that people enjoy using the same type of controller for future games in a series that they used for earlier games in a series. I was just saying those who played previous RE on PS consoles will enjoy using DS3 for 5.

You can use PS3 controller with PC too, and its free too.

Is there some master list somewhere on which version of multiplatform games are better? I know for most games it will come out even but there are few which is better on one particular system.
