Hi I wanted to ask if bathesda is gonna improve via patch the textures on ps3 because compared with 360 and PC ps3 is last.

Thanks

The textures look sharper on Xbox and PC, so does the overall appearance. But I doubt that this is due to textures. It is more likely that the AA-method used on the PS3 is responsible for that, because it does soften the image in the post processing. One can also find pictures and videos of the PC-version using the same AA-method. Personally, I think then it looks pretty much alike to the PS3.

IMO, in Skyrim as with Oblivion, the lighting and AA is better on the PS3 version than on the Xbox 360 version, and contribute to a more realistic look.

Did you check this video?? h t p :/ / w w w. youtube. c o m / watch ?v = o9 2 1p4 TIz H4

Yep, I saw the video, and to me the Xbox 360 version still looks the worst there.

I can't see how anyone with decent eye sight can think the PS3 version looks better. It uses inferior AA and generally looks worse.

Don't know if the Xbox graphics are better, don't care.
I'm playing on the PS3, and the graphics look perfectly fine to me. They're not horrible or ugly in the least, and anyone who says they are is indulging in useless hyperbole.

It's not the grahpics I care much about - Crysis looks good as hell, but how fun is it to play Crysis for 100+ of hours?

The ps3-version needs FPS, not better looking textures etc.

I also think the PS3 version looks the most realistic. And I wouldn't expect any kind of patch to make it so all three versions look the same.

No you wrong. The version of ps3 need to be playable like Xbox and Pc.

I think they both have positive & negative points, the Xbox shapeness looks better for characters, weapons & armor.
The PS3 makes the world, plants, trees & buildings look a little more realistic.

Errm that's what he said?

I've seen them both on my tv connected with HDMI and like owain says I cant imagine that anyone with good eyesight or wearing glasses would say that the ps3 version looks better than the xbox 360 and definately not more realistic. I've heard this argument before with different games. "Oh its too clear and defined on xbox it looks like a videogame! it looks more realistic on ps3 because the resolution is lower and it looks more natural and real." ahahha The biggest thing that makes the xbox version more realistic is the better framerate to no just the quality of the textures,,,I dont think real life stutters every time I do anything.

The more detail is there is the closer it is to reality. Real life has a lot of detail! Until you reach the atom you could almost say an infinite amount from your perspective. go ahead check out your face in the mirror and see the pours in your face our the individual hairs in your eyebrows...actually if you think ps3 skyrim looks BETTER than the xbox one youd probably just look like a simpsons character to yourself with your eyesight

If think Im wrong you can explain what you mean by better and more realistic and if I am wrong Ill go get my eyes checked. The xbox version has a smoother framerate, slightly less pixelation in the shadows(in some online comparison they say more shadows but I cant verify so I wont quote that), and the detail on the textures is much much sharper. If it the result of AA? I don't know and I really don't understand why AA would make the whole image mooshier but I do know if it did make he images less sharp you could just turn off. I know a game without anti aliasing might make it look a little dated but then again so does running at 20fps

No need to be defensive. I played it on ps3, and now i play it on xbox and just beause some people are playing it on ultra settings at 60fps doesnt mean my xbox looks ugly. They all look really nice but the rankings are 1)monster pc 2) xbox 3)ps3

No the version of Ps3 must be the same (in all respects) of Xbox and Pc. The multiplatform games are always lower in the Ps3 version and this because the programmers don't know how to program.

Hmmmm that not entirely true. Its got more to do with how Sony support thier SDK. Dev's are adding to it not taking from it and misunderstanding it like they are with Nintendo. Sony just do exactly what Bethesda are doing with Skyrim. Collating the amount of input they believe is relenant and then updating the SDK. Nintendo do it differently in that they pre-empt what is needed by developers it just that up until recently there wasn't a large enough experience base in the IT industry to capitalise on it and now the point is moot because of the WiiU. However you will see 3rd party developers descend upon the WiiU with an almost Valkyric vengence that they never were in time for the Wii.

Getting back to Sony and its processes though its funny how the cascading effects of an untimely lack of support can bring.

There is nothing in the 1.4 notes about improving PS3 textures. It's not going to happen any time soon, if ever.

I am in the exception(?) that thinks the xbox360 colors & textures typically look too cartoony.


I do agree the FPS fluctuation is atrocious on the PS3 though, and there is way to much blurriness in the a lot of the textures.

However, I got to disagree when people say OB looks better on Xbox, lots of stuff from shadows to draw distance was actually improved on the OB port. This was not only due to 4J studios work but also there were some improvements to the underlying engine between the release of OB for PC+Xbox and the subsequent hand-off to 4J for the port.

At any rate, I would be pretty happy if we could get to a place of FPS parity, but not with the cartoonish bright colors the XB has.

No paladinrja, in my opinion thats all the shame of bethesda, because, the xbox 360 is in graphic aspects lower than the ps3, and you can check it on google: xbox 360 vs ps3, or you can see videos in youtube, ALL the capcom games are by far better looking in ps3 than in the 360 (resident evil, devil may cry, tekken) you can check that if you don't believe me, why is that?? Well I think that it is because the asian companies know better how to progam in the ps3, that is all, it isn't sony fault and has been discussed.

I've never seen amultiplatfrom game that was better on ps3 ever in my entire life. Ive seen incredible exclusive games for ps3 but several times Ive had a game on xbox and my friend brought it over on ps3 and we checked them side by side on the same tv through hdmo. Mortal Kombat, GTA 4, Red dead redemption, call of duty black ops, duke nukem forever, resident evil, fallout 3, street fighter 4, resident evil 5 and most recently skyrim. Usually the difference is so small you would never ever notice. I dont know about tekken obliviion or dmc.

I really really dont agree with the xbox looking more cartoony but there is a difference between the 2 so it might be a perception thing. I find in particular that the skin(especially your own hands), trees, and hard surfaces like rocks and stone walls do look more realistic on xbox. On that not they are the kind of differences no one would know or care about if ps3 was running at 30fps. The framerate jumped at me right away. Not just the after 6mb lag thing but from the beginning there was 100% less juttering. I will admit that I have seen an occasional stutter on xbox but Im talking one breif stuter every 5 hours I play. I am watching the Framerate like a hwak 2 because Im paranoid after my 150 and 20 hour runs through on ps3. Im at 12 hours and so far Im glad I spent the extra 40 to trade it in but I still have that paranoia lurking.

I have same opinion of Ingegner 3and Daldec, this problems occurs because the occidents programmers dont′s know how to program in ps3. In japan sony and nintendo governs the market, xbox is the last of the list, because the microsoft is foreign company. You can see the care they have with ps3 when program a game, they games are better in ps3 than xbox. Here, apparently they doesn't care with ps3 because of programming. Explain how they can launch a game with tons of problem on ps3 (lags, freezy, bugs) and a better version on a xbox, someone on company doesn't even test the game for ps3 and see that?? Even dlcs will be launch before in xbox...

It is a "war" between occident (xbox 360) vs orient (ps3), but what I had experienced is that the oriental companies, indeed, they care more about the ps3, but don't hate the xbox 360, like combobreaker87 said, the differences are too small you would ever notice (but there are, in my opinion ps3 better than xbox 360), but in the occident, the companies do an excellent job making the xbox 360 version of a game, but the ps3 version looks like crap and we have the example here with skyrim.
Combobreaker87 what I was meant to say was that the ps3 in my opinion and in the opinion of a lot of people (just check in google) the ps3 version of a game LOOKS better than the xbox 360 version, at least in all the capcom games that I had play.

Then why does it matter?

Alecto one of your links on this website is the first time I ever went to lens of truth and boy howdy those guys do some fine comparisons. Video games on xbox 360 and ps3 both cost the exact same amount. I own both systems. Even if the difference is small (blurrier backrounds in steet figher 4 on ps3...ive never noticed but they say it is) or huge like running at 640p instead of true 720p(red dead redemption and gta 4 which is noticable to the naked eye even if the two play sessions are a week apart!) I want to know about it. Once I have all the information I can make a choice. I read that street fighter 4 on ps3 looks slightly worse but considering the I like the controller better and they both run at 60fps I said the difference was small enough that I dont care(i got a fightstick now anyway lol).

If you only have one platform you dont have a choice so it doesnt matter. If you have both consoles and a pc you're really going to want to dig deep and fight out which one is better. Sites of lens of truth really help in this respect. People who only own on system or the other usually say that there system is the best just because they dont want o admit that they got the "wrong" system or that there game this time looks a little cruddier. A site like lens of truth seems to have no bias and for someone like me with no system bias is a reliable source to find the best version. Its not about waving my xbox copy in someones face. Its about what I see on my own tv in my own room with my own eyes.

Unfortunately, Skyrim is one of the few lensoftruth comparisons where the disparity between the two versions is absolutely horrid. Anyway, yeah, they're a very meticulous and trustworthy site. I use them a lot in my decisions to purchase games even though I only have one modern platform (have a PS3... and also a really low-end PC I play some games on, but not many current-gen console games)... if only to try and save myself the headache of a game with a sub-standard framerate or other-such performance on my PS3. Unfortunately, I bought Skyrim as all people ever said about the PS3 version before the comparisons came out was that it performed fine... I'm so angry that people thought a fluctuating fps between ~15-30 that never stayed at 30 was fine and will never purchase another game before digital proof of it being "fine".

Nor should there be. IMO, they are perfectly fine.
