Ok ive been a full on PS3 fan since around 2008 ........
-
Like (0)
before that it was always PS2 and before that PS1......
Up until a few weeks back I had a FAT ps3 40gb console that i put a 120gb hd in, never failed i must say!
Recently a slim PS3 120gb console became available to me and i bought it
so having the FAT console spare i decided to trade to try an xbox cos a few friends of mine have them and i wanted Trails Evolution too!!!
So i went out traded/swapped and aquired an xbox 360 with "another" (cos i like taking it up the arse from activision obvs) copy of MW3,
hook it up to same connection as PS3,
slap MW3 in (ready for a laugh)
and......... am dumbfounded by how much of a differant game it is!
It took me around a week to get used to the controller (prefer the PS3 one, and the fact im 0 prestige instead of 20)
but most lobbies I have are with english people, hardly any insta kills, a f'in RED screen before i die aswell!!!! a red screen!
one other thing ive noticed is the sound it seems to have a completley differant sound to it :/ i play both through hdmi cables on the same tv etc so cant understand that, but to go back onto the PS3 version after playing for a few weeks i feel like we are missing out somehow ![]()
So i suppose ill get flamed for this post or have "the tech no it all" telling me the xbox supermegastupidchip makes the sound travel faster and your eardrums pick it up at a lower frequency etc
but i just wanted to point it out and see if anyone else (not 360 fanboys) notice anything if they have had chance to play both versions?
Id never get rid of PS3 or stop playing it, like ive said im no fanboy but games like infamous or Uncharted make me want to play games!
If you want to add me or slate me on either console its Adsjones thanks for reading ![]()
I have 3 friends who have are 360 players and I've been a Sony fanboy since original playstation so I am biased towards Playstation but I will whole heartdly agree with you that the game and even sound is different on MW3. It is very odd, but different hardware and specs def mean different experience.
meh, doesn't surprise seeing as how microsoft gave activision MILLIONS. Wouldn't you put more effort towards something if they gave that much??
Crossed my mind tbh, sellouts!
{Sarcasm: on} They didn't sellout they are buying in. {Sarcasm: off}
hahaha
Its the port thing man. I played TW online for years and any game that is ported is made first for the xblox then ported to ps so things get halfassed. In TW things like the trees moving in the wind etc. were on xbox and not the PS. The game also ran smoother and had less problems at launch. Any EA game is ported and all of the games in this series is as well. The only way to get the best PS games is to buy PS exclusives which are awesome but do not fall into the major online gaming (madden, cod etc.)
Im not a tech guy but from what I have read the coding to port a game is very complicated but due to contract stuff they cant make the game individually for each. That or cost which is probably more likely. We are the step children and get treated as such with every cross platform game.
On the controller thing look online bro. There are controllers out there where you can move the joysticks to where you want them. So you can have an xbox set up on PS or PS set up while playing xbox. From what I have heard the xbox controller is much more confortable anyway.
Too true, On the controller point i did look for a ps3 style controller for 360 but seems 360 is the more desirable with PS3 owners wanting a 360 style one, I on the other hand find the 360 too bulky and have had cramps when playing for an hour or so, this could be down to not using it before tho so i guess time will tell, thanks for the info!
For the life of me I cant remember who posted a thread on the controller. It was really cool though you could actually move the sticks to either position and it didnt look too bulky. At one point I thought about getting one due to my hands cramping when I play for awhile. I dont have tiny hands and have some arthur going on in em haa..
Disappointing to hear your OP though. Especially givin the same exact connection, tv etc. Really frustrating.
ill have a look around on everyones friend google
yeah bad point of being an adult gamer aches and pains when playing for while lol.
The search on the PS3 goes <50ms maybe 2-4 games found sometimes join one of those if not always <75ms but on 360 it searches quicker and always bangs me into what MW3 classes as a <50ms game :/ PS3 users are treated as second rate gamers in that respect by Activision.
Its not just Activision though bro. EA does the same dam thing. Everything about EA games is better on xbox. Cleaner graphics, smoother play, chat system etc. not to mention the small things like trees moving in the wind on TW which when added together end up being a big thing.
I have seen on the forums the side by side gameplay comparing the two and its no contest for this game as well as all cross platform games.
On TW our big ***** was that our BR disc could hold twice the courses so why not put them on there. They actually did that this last year for PS users which was amazing. They added courses to a more expensive version of the game only for PS. Granted theres no contract with like cod has so it was easier. They just have to keep both sides happy.
That was a very interesting read. Not suprising though.
But all in all it is just a game, and I did not buy a PS3 just to play CoD (if that was my goal I would have bought an XBOX)
I agree like i said earlier PS3 has some great exlusives as does 360
(cannot wait for STATE OF DECAY!!!!)
And if it was purley CoD I wanted to playid have to choose 360, my mew dilemma is ... blops2 on PS3 or 360
lol
Maybe it's just me and the fact that I only got to compare Black Ops on both Xbox and PS3 due to the fact that I broke up with my ex (who had the xbox) a couple of days after MW3 came out. I found them to be the same. I'm not as techie as some of you, but neither I nor my ex found any difference in the game. The only reason he has the xbox is for his forza games.
Hmmmm....do you work for MS????? This is making me think about buying an xbox now for BO2!!! Lol
You advertising troll, you! ![]()
Lol no im not a MS employee or an advertising troll haha im stuck with the dilemma and can see myself being a complete kn0b head and buying it for both :/
All id say is if you have a chance to try it have a go, the differance is clear but I am a PS3 player at heart <3 lol
I just don't want to waste money for obvious reasons in today's economy. I hope you are wrong, don't take it personally!
Ok the only thing im gonna give Xbox is that the game prob runs smoother, People your not going to get around LAG, MW3 is just as laggy on xbox as it is on ps3
I dont know how many threads are in this form from xbox gamers complaining about LAG, hit detection etc.
( not to mention they have to pay to play)
There is deffo lag present in both that is certain 360 seems a little bit less but as you point out you have to pay :/ im coming to the end of my 1 month gold free and am still uncertain whether id pay to play online whilst on my ps3 i can play the same game for free, I wasnt trying to big up the 360 version i just wondered if it was me lol
Ok Ok wait i rendered a vid last night while peeing about on mw3 on the 360 have a listen and see what you think, it echos in certain places, like the tunnel on hardhat (not in the vid but ive noticed) and in the large area in Terminal (in the vid)
Please excuse my QS crap i was being slaughtered and since im such a low rank on 360
thought id try it out (which also seems easier on 360).
I have both versions,and aside from the controller,I don't notice much difference.
My Sophmore year of college I had a roommate with an XBox and I played Black Op almost religiously on it. I couldn't believe how easy the game was. I developed the idea to start killing myself after 11kills so that I could start earning killstreaks again
That summer I moved back home and powered on my PS3, I had to put so much effort into it just to get a UAV. Everything seemed slugish, almost like I was moving around in mud. Kills took forever to get, I often ran out of ammo before I got 7 kills. Amazing how different the felt
Like RAMBONER said it must be due to it being ported to the PS3 its annoying tho cos I have most friends on ps3 and feel like the new boy on xbox lol
With the new xbox and PS coming out next year (I think), I just don't want bother with more expenses. I read in the BO forum that the Devs are taking the porting to PS3 wiiu and PC very seriously but I guess we have heard that before. I do see better support from Treyarch than IW by leaps and bounds so all I can do is trust them since I have not been disappointed with any of there games in the past.
One of my friends from high school hates Sony with a passion. He's a Nintendo fanboy
