Claims of PS3′s Ghostbusters Lagging Behind Xbox 360′s

I don’t believe it personally. 2 two sites claiming it have been caught faking things in the past to make the PS3 look poor.

I suspect it’s part of Microsofts FUD storm because Ghostbusters is not getting a Euro release on the 360, so the spin doctors are ensuring it’s got a damaged reputation on the PS3 aswell.

yes i think the ps3 is maxed out especially when you look at the excellent graphics of ghostbusters compared to killzone 2, uncharted, mgs4, god of war 3, heavy rain…… (just incase anyone is unsure thats sarcatic)

LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!! Are you being serious?

Don’t be a stupid fanboy, it’s been reported by lots of unbiassed game sites that the PS3 version is running at 960 by 540 resolution & the 360 version is running at 1280 by 720.

If it’s true that GB on the PS3 is sub par compared to the 360 version when Terminal Reality were bigging up the PS3′s power & potential for this game, then the PS3 is going to lose a lot of GB sales, especially for multi console owners.

I only own a PS3 & will not be touching this game until they patch it, or it’s in the bargain bin at a tenner. When games like Heavy Rain, God of War III, GT5, & Uncharted 2 are on the way, there is no longer excuses for this kind of thing.

If it’s only got 75% percent resolution then it should cost 75% of the price of the 360 version.

I believe that the PS3 is just too complicated for some developers. Valve has openly states that it is for them and dont seem to be embarrased to say it. Folks have been pretty hard on them for not releasing Left 4 Dead and its sequel but at least their honest about why. Lets face it, some companies are just better than other in any industry. For example there is a reason a company like Mcadonalds is still going strong as ever. They are prepared to change depending on what consumers are calling for. Say what you will about them but they are a enourmous , succesful jugernaut in the business world. If game developers dont keep up with the likes of Insomniac, suckerpunch or naughty dog then they will surley never exceed beyond what they are. When a game like this comes out its all about money. The folks behind this game aren not making this game because they love the Ghostbusters franchise. Im sure they do enjoy it as much as the next person but this type of game is a money maker. It will sell copies just because of what it is. The developers hired to produce a game like are usually the ‘lowest bidder’.

Never heard of Termnial Reality. That says it all. Experienced deva don’t seem to have a problem working on a power house machine like the PS3. It’s the inexperienced and lazy ones that need a dumbed down PC(the 360) to make their games work. I wouldn’t be surpises if it was MS that peddles these rumor. This is how they win market share. Not by talking up their own products. But by slandering their competetors.

Ehh, gamezine is baised.

Terminal Reality apparently did all right with the 360 version. The dumb people are the managers of the PS3. If they’re stupid enough to have a multiplatform game that is this bad on their system and better on their competitor’s, they’re just plain dumbed down. But this is to be expected from the PS3. If you want to play MORE games that are of good quality, get the 360. If you want a blu-ray player that happens to run a few great games, get the PS3. That’s just the plain and simple truth atm. No matter what any fanboy says.

I’m right with you on this.

the 360 one looks better. fact!
why bring fanboyism into this. i only own a ps3, not because its more powerful or because its meant to be or any of that rubbish but because i like the games on it and there arent games on 360 that i want so much as to get both consoles.
who ever this developer is just cant work the ps3, its more than capable of making excellent graphics for example uncharted 2 is the best looking game so far this gen, its just the developer can’t do it. dont bring silly fanboy comments here either ps3 or 360 owners!
p.s. uncharted 2 will rule

This news just rocks. And seeing the PS3 lovers on this site eat crow is just awesome.

Thank you to both Sony and Terminal Reality for making my day!

I own a PS3 because the exclusives ares in abundance and high quality. The number of and the quality of these exclusives on ps3 far surpass anything on xbox. Oh yippy, halo, halo, halo more halo and queers of war. When a games on ps3 made in 2007 (Uncharted) looks better then the 360s bread and butter (halo and gears) that doesn’t bode well for the 360.

Agreed. When ever these comparisons are done the trolls come out in full force and many of them seem to forget just about every ps3 exclusive looks and performs better then any multiplat game AND xbox exclusive. Xboxers, if the ps3 is so inferior why is it that the xbox doesn’t have games that look anywhere near as good as Uncharted 2 and MGS4?

you can’t really compare 1st party developers like naughty dog or insomniac, who received vast amounts of support and funding to make outstanding exclusives, with multiplat developers. the ps3′s complexity also means added cost in developing. if you are working within a fixed budget, you allocate your resources according to your potential for payback. if it takes more effort, and therefore cost, to get out of the ps3 what you can get out of the 360, then you will only invest that if you can be sure to make more money out of the ps3 sales. unfortunatly the sales statistics for ps3 games lag significantly behind the 360 so there is little incentive for the developers to pull out all the stops in this case.

I work at a game company and look at this email a producer sent out:

“My Xbox recently died again and I’m trying to go through the Xbox web interface to set it up for repairs. Unfortunately, the website is so slow and unresponsive that it’s taking in excess of 10 minutes to transition between pages.

Just curious (reply to me only please) if anyone else is experiencing this issue and what, if any solutions they tried to contact MS. I’d rather not have to call as that takes quite a bit of time. I’m hoping there’s a magic, secret solution that I don’t know about.”

Microsoft quality = epic fail

The biggest damage done here (on a personal level) is to the developers. They’ve made themselves look like total idiots and have lost the support of the Sony fanbase, I’m sure. Casual gamers will forget soon enough (especially if they were to bring out a great game soon… say 2010).

Also, as we’ve heard in the press this week (from other developers)… neither console is truly maxed out. Both the 360 and PS3 have plenty more to come. Just reading the God of War III PDF (explaining all manner of trickery with the SPUs) shows developers how better ways are being learnt all the time.

What makes it worse is that Terminal Reality were quoted as saying,

“Personally, I want to show off our PS3 technology. We’re one of the few developers who love the PS3 and have a great time with it. We have great technology for the PS3 and we want to show it off.”

If i didn’t have both consoles i wouldn’t take much notice of these comparisons but they are useful to me as i tend to buy multiplatform games on the 360 because i have all my friends on Xbox Live and prefer the service but if the 360 version had bad enough flaws and no muliplayer i’d get it on PS3.
I’m not really a fan of Ghostbusters anyway so this doesn’t effect me but one thing i am curious about is why do the PS3 versions of many of the multiplatform games i’ve tried tend to look blurry in comparison to the cleaner looking 360 version? i’m using a 40″ Sony Bravia KDL40V4000.

sega is th best….no nes is better! fanboy knobs!

sonic mario sonic mario tales kong . shut the hell up.

WHO YU GONA CALL!!!!!!
GHOSTBUSTERS!!

Due to it’s user friendliness PS3 is become most popular nowadays.

Hence a “few great games” Ray.

This isn’t an exclusive title debate. I’m not sure how many good exclusives are on each system, but I doubt that there are more good quality exclusives on the PS3 than that of the 360. This has to do with a company that allows their competitor to best them. IMO, Sony should have delayed the release as to not display how little they care of the quality of their product. That is something that Microsoft themselves should have done with the 360 console as well.
