As we know Far Cry 2 is available on both the Xbox 360 and the Sony PS3, and both versions of the game are good in their own right. Ubisoft’s FPS looks great on both consoles, but which one of the two has the edge.
This video comparison will hopefully let you choose, they both have their strengths and weaknesses but what one will win out in the end. When looking at the action, the Xbox 360 is great keeping up with the fast action sequences.
From a distance there is not much to choose from between the two, but when you look at the close up details the Xbox 360 lets itself down, the Sony PS3 close up details looks smooth. See for yourself in the video comparison of far Cry 2

360 is better shaded AS ALWAYS
Well i like both consoles, both are good and put up a good performance. The 360 looks to me like it has a few small better qualities in far cry to it though.. For example at :28 you can see chairs and objects fully loaded in the hut on the 360, and chairs and other objects don’t fully appear untill :30 (2 seconds later) on the PS3. Both are timed exactly alike as you can tell from the subtitles coming on simultaneously. Also at :34 you can see that the people to the left look somewhat different. On the PS3 the man appears to have a single colored plain suit on while the man on the 360 has more detail as to designs and layers on his clothing. Also the man sitting on the ground looks kind of like a statue, while the man on the 360 looks a little better detailed and more human-like. But other than those few minor details, i’d say they look almost identical
PS3 is a better console.
Games like GTA4 wernt as good as they could be on the ps3 because they had to make it suitable for the Xbox 360 first, then put what they made on to both consoles.
this same thing is going to happen with Final Fantasy 13.
I read that someone from the company said it makes financial sense to make the game for both consoles, but the game wont be as good as it can be because of it.
Once the next Xbox comes out people will be able to see what the ps3 can do, But then the next Xbox will be better than the ps3 anyway, haha.
And one last thing.
Blu-Ray won, Xbox dosent have it.
HD-DVD…. Ha.
Things like smoother graphics like in this test arent because of the game, the console does that.
By the way, i only own a PC, I dont have any interest in buying a PS3 or Xbox 360.
Games are always going to be best on a PC.
I forgot what this whole thing was about now.
LOL.
Does anybody know which version plays best online? I imagine it will be the 360 I’ve been having a few problems with my PS3
Bang, you’re a joke. Try not to–so shamelessly–make a public advertisement of your stupidity as you do of PS3 as the most powerful nothing of this century.
PS3 has a powerful processor, in theory. Unfortunately, X360 has a clear-cut powerful core and a very good GPU. At the end, they come out more or less even with x360 winning out on shaders - just a matter of numbers, little boy. There is no ‘most powerful’ contention. They’re both so evenly matched that it almost warrants robbing idiots like you of freedom of speech because you insist on comparing and making one machine look better than the other. 360, theoretically, will always have slightly–very slightly–polished visual, while the PS3, theoretically, will have the very slightly better calculations and physics.
So all in all - get over yourselves, partisan fanbots! The video hardly marks any difference. There is no greatest console this generation. PS3 is actually a marketting disaster, which could’ve done much better if SONY hadn’t hyped things up and if idiots like ‘BANG’ didn’t exist to tarnish the image of the PS3 fanbase. At the end, most games will look more or less the same with a few drifting in favour of 360 and other FEW in favour of PS3.
Grow the fuck up!
Later.
the ps3 contains a multi-core processor with 7 processors on it running at 3.2Ghz. one is used for the OS. this leaves 6 for the game. The 360 contains 3 processors running at 3.2Ghz. As game developers usually port games from 360 to the ps3 the hasnt had the full capacity of its 6 processors used. In some cases only 3 of the processors are switched on for game usage (pes 08 which meant 360 = 60fps, ps3 = 30fps) Once developers start using the 6 processors etc to their potential then we shall see a graphical improvement in the ps3 system. One game where we see this is Killzone 2. Which doesnt compare to any 360 game i have seen yet. GOW 2 uses 2gb for its graphical interface - as a comparison Killzone 2 uses 2gb for \’each level\’ this obviously requires a huge amount of space. This is where blu-ray comes in. being able to hold 50gb is essential. Now a new blu-ray has been developed which will be ready for use in (hopefully) 2010. It can store 400gb and can be used on current blu-ray players, the same company is looking at developing another blu-ray disc with 1 terabyte of storage which will run on current blu-ray players also (hopefully ready for commercial use in 2012-13! I am looking forward to a game which uses the full potential of the ps3 and these new discs. The future of this console is looking good.
It looks like my grandma knitted the shadows on the X-360 version; it’s all stitchy. How is this not noticed by anyone? I noticed it because it seems to be a common issue with HDR lighting. Somehow the PS3 version managed to smooth that out though.
its due to polygon rendering differences within the graphical outputs of both systems. in this area the 360 is inferior.
wat is with this war? that guy who said both consols r good in there own way is write but this war is about wich consol is best for this game! and i dont own a ps3 or a 360 at the moment but im getting £350 for my birthday so il be geting a 360 arcade. now look who has changd the subject!
and dont say anything about the arcade! i want a ps3 but im not made of money. and im typing this using my psp!i!i ROCK AND ROLL
