Re: wolfenstein 360 or ps3?

For any multi format game i buy on the 360 due to the xbox live community which is sorely lacking on the ps3 IMO but each to their own is it the same price does it have multiplayer what version are your firends getting

I agree. The most important factor for a game like wolfenstein is what version are your friends getting?

Agree with the above statement, however to answer the question I would bet my house once the head to head reviews come in the following will be the case.

PS3 will have no AA or Q-AA (Which gives a blur type effect)
360 will have higher quality textures with dynamic mapping and higher quality minimaps.
PS3 will have slightly higher volume of torn frames (should V-Sync be enabled)

The majority of users quite rightly probably could not tell the difference, however if you are graphic conscious, which I am and given your question I would imagine you are, bar a really good PS3 port - I'd go for the 360.

Re: wolfenstein 360 or ps3?

if Raven have done as good a job on both versions, then it would be hard to pick them apart.
Raven did a great job with wolverine, the ps3 version looking better than the xbox 360 one, when other devs struggle with the unreal engine.

Agree that hopefully Raven will do a good job but given that the PS3 version of Wolverine performs with a lower in game frame rate, has no AA (Compared to 2xMSAA) and inferior lighting I must admit I'm lost how you came to the above conclusion. I agree each to their own but from a technical standpoint surely?

ive played both versions, straight through, and never got half as many frame rate issues on the ps3 that the 360 version had, especially with multiple enemies, and claw specials, also felt the ps3 version was sharper, and more colourful.
inferior lighting...i dont get you, what do you mean, was the ps3 using energy saving lighting??

but i suppose as you have played both versions through as well, you would be able to enlighten me, or are you just quoting others..

Well yes actually i have played both versions (As I do with most games including PC versions when possible), however neither all the way through as i thought it was quite a poor game really. Like i said each to their own so if you 'felt' that the PS3 version was technically a better version then that's your call.

For me the lack of AA on the PS3 version jumps right out of the screen at you. Neither version maintained solid frame rates but I'm sorry the 360 clearly maintained a higher frame rate from visual inspection alone.
As for lighting, I guess you're making a joke in your comment here, but to answer your question the PS3 seems to adopts a bloom type effect on lightened textures which results in a colour bleeding effect - which is dealt with better on the 360.

So no need for me to rely on others but on a quick read of Digitalfloundry and pretty much every other head to head review of the two version the findings reinforce my comments.

So consider yourself now informed rather than enlightened

Re: wolfenstein 360 or ps3?

I only tend to buy PS3 exclusives, if a game is multi format i tend to go for the 360 version for the online play.

I use Lens Of Truth website to decide which format im buying a game on. They have a Head 2 Head section where they compaire PS3 against the Xbox in quite some deatil - you will be surprised with the diffrence sometimes.

No review on Wolfenstein yet but wont be too long before its on there, check out the website

Mr Sly my friend you are getting a bit rough around the edges. I think we should set up a sharpening of the minds boot camp.

OR Add me on Live, I could do with a nice chat with my long lost twin.

Same as this man.

I pre-ordered the 360 version of Wolfenstein about 8 months ago. I`m a fan of the old RTCW on PC and if the new Wolfie`s multiplay is half as good as RTCW I`m gonna want to play it on a system when I`m going to get a solid game and also be able to play with friends as NONE of them have a PS3.

Re: wolfenstein 360 or ps3?

Just to let people know, the multiplayer on the 360 version is terrible

Played it today & wont be switching it on again

I suspect its not a 360 version problem though, its just an awful MP game

I'm really suprised by this post considering the game in question and its multiplayer pedegree.

Raven used to be a really solid developer. I have fond memories of playing Soldier of Fortune 2 and Jedi Outcast on the pc. Two top games imho.

Didn't realise wolfenstien was out, I'll have to check out some reviews.

Reading a few tid bits, it seems the sp is average at best and is quite easy due to some dumb AI. But the real shock is that the mp is average too.

I say, the developers should do a remake of soldier of fortune 2. Remember the fantastic multiplayer? Shop 2, jor 1, or italy roofing anyone?
