Pure director Jason Avent has assured gamers that the PlayStation 3 version of the forthcoming off-road racer will perform exactly the same as its Xbox 360 counterpart.

"It's the same; exactly the same," said Avent, during an interview with consumer website Eurogamer. "I'd say around January time we had all the functionality in the PS3 version that we had in the 360."
 
"Now we've got them both running and 30 frames per second is our target. It does dip down, but we've got months to optimise it. We do side-by-side comparisons just like you guys do."

Avent noted that he has had access to a PS3 SDK for some time now as a result of his working relationship formed with Sony while developing ATV vs. Offroad Fury 3 and 4.

Production of the game is being lead of the Xbox 360, however, due to the fact developer Black Rock Studio had a "mature engine" from MotoGP ’06 and ’07.

Pure is due out on PS3, PC and Xbox 360 this fall.

    Bout time they've been equalling the playing field. But most times I haven't seen a difference on games that were soposively '' faster '' than the ps3 version.

     More games are starting to look and perform better on PS3 so I'm not all that impressed by this. From launch, PS3 games have sounded better.

    i bet developers are wasting a lot of time trying to make versions look identical... time that could be used inmproving the gameplay elements. everyone is scared of fanboy backlash... its two separate consoles, just use them to their best dammit.

    psn id: gingo....i  always get a strange feeling when i read "lead development is on xbox 360" it makes me wonder why devs dont realise that it worked for criterion with burnout and follow suit, but i suppose its easier if they already have a good engine that works better with 360

    It's a shame that videogames have to suffer and be held back by the vastly inferior technology found in the 360. *shakes head*

    I dont plan on buying this game anyways.  I think the fact the try and equal both systems is dumb.  If sony got smart they would spend money paying developers to make their versions better, and thus wiping out the 360. That is their goal right??

    yeah right so it will be, gta4 was men to be the same but that turned ot better on the 360 and it makes me wonder why i got it for the ps3=(

    Nice honesty he has there about the frame rates.

    Im glad to see developers respect gamers like this and not treat them like mushrooms.;)

    Although , I don't think that PURE would be a game for me.

    You know, I think that by the time developers start actually stepping up PS3 development, Microsoft will have launched the xbox 720, and I don't think the ps3's 10 year plan will work if MS can release another console, especially with the large following they have aquired this generation.

    I WILL NOT BE  GETTING THIS OR LOOKING AT THIS. IT IS A SHAME THAT WITH ALL THE POWER THE PS3 HAVE THEY WANT IT TO LOOK AS BAD AS 360. THIS IS CRAZY. I HOPE THAT THIS GAME FLOP HARD FOR EVEN SAYING THAT LIKE THEY HAVE BETTER POWER THEN US. LISTEN PURE DEV......THAT DOSEN'T MAKE ME FEEL ANY BETTER BY YOU SAYING THAT. USE UP 75% OF A BLURAY AND PUT IT IN 1080P DO MORE THEN EXSPECTED THEN DOWN GRADING PS3 TO THE LEVEL OF 360.

    Wow my PS3 might be as good as the Xbox 360 - Gee wiz I'm so impressed by this news.

    Well to be honest I don't really care... Why would I want to buy this if I can get Motorstorm 2 that runs at 60fps.... I'm really only looking forward to exclusives these days as 98% of the ports are crap... Unless it's definately a game worth getting and a proper port.

    The divide their resources only to what makes the development for both easier. Going to the 360 side was more like a #1 priority for them any way. One leads, others usually follow.
