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

and 1 more thing half of u dont know wat u r talking about
i agree with stringy! ovbiously the ps 3 is betta but they both hav strengths but only the 360 has a weaknes
While all the statements are true, there is a hitch, Stringy, and Bob.
Firstly, the PS3 hardware is not multicore in the traditional sense. Those are not seven CPU cores; the Cell is made of one PPE with seven sub SPEs, which are far less programmable or flexible; people just don’t acknowledge this difference enough.
It is the nature of this architecture that gives developers a hard time making use of the cell; the real purpose of the SPEs should be in aiding post-processing and other related shader-effects, which is why PS3 will always have amazing exclsives - Killzone 2, etc. However, multiplats and traditionally created games will generally be about the same on both machines. So long as people continue to compare the two machines spec of spec rather than realising that the PS3–as a whole–works more like a unified graphics system, these arguments won’t get anywhere.
Now can we please move on to the real subject: PS3’s niche as an exclusives console, because that’s where the system can win the market.
@bang dad your the biggest dick head that i’ve read a comment from you know shit about sony as well as 360 this consoles should be doing much better specialy when both have 512mb for specific task what you need to do is stop sucking ms balls sony will beat ms in the long run, is a shame that american developers are still strugleling with cell processor but even that ps3 have stud up to 360 potencial that remind me that top dev have meet with maxxed360 gpu get a life
yeah i know that the ps3 is more…betta (cant think of a betta word and i dont know how to spell beta!!) what i ment is bothe are good in 1 way and good in the other! but at the moment the only thing betta (!!!) on the 360 is x box live! but any body with eyes can see sonys psn is getting much betta (!!?) than when it startid! but any way i got my 360 arcade the other day and im going to go get far cry and compare it with my brothers ps3!
i have the ps3 far cry and i can say this! that vid looks nothing like my ps3! my chairs wer ther! and i do not see loading right before my eyes! somthing is going on here! who made that video! and i geuss that guy is right! multi plat games will look alot alike! but games made only for ps3 are amazing! like mgs4! or gt5! later on the true power will hopefully be used and we will see some high qwality gaming in the futer!
bandolero,
Firstly, tell your parents to use a condom next time, as you were clearly a mistake. It’s 220-192 ram - video and system, dedicated. Xbox 360 and PS3 are not the same. If you read my post, you’ll notice that I state that PS3 can do amazing things. These ‘multiplat’ titles are crap, and as a Sony-mother, you should do the company a favour and support more exclusives rather than shoddy multiplats.
To make it simple for you: I am on Sony’s side, you sick little ****! Take a reading class, and then take a TOEFL test, and please, PASS IT! It’s your duty as an American Citizen to know the language.
. . .and you’re right, Stringy, Far Cry 2 doesn’t play like that on the PS3. Devs used Cell and streaming, which made Far Cry 2 rather good, and perhaps, better on the PS3 than the Xbox 360. It’s one of those better multi-plats.
However, on the whole, multiplats will always limit the PS3 from doing some great things.
ok its gone to far!! ps3 wins!!! in my eyes! and its my choice!! and any body got msn add me!!! stringy@live.co.uk
no guys seriously… I do have both consoles…
i bought it first on ps3 and rented the second on xbox cos people were saying xbox 360 graphics look better than ps3
i found ps3 to have better framerate and graphics.
however, the textures were not that hugely different.
if you dont believe me…then thats your choice
