Hmm look at the laptop in the first pic.. its definitely sharper in the ps3 version.. also textures are in some of the ps3 images a bit sharper.. the shadow blends in a bit nicer in the 360 version.. and the 360 version has some brighter colors..
But I don't really care.. not planning on buying this game.. -

if yall look at the first picture better, its darker because she is IN the boat and under a roof giving her SHADE!!! if you look closy at the with couch there is light from the sun shining through the window. duh! on the 3rd picture in the playstation 3 version, her hair casts a shadow on her forehead where the 360 version doesnt.
so its clear to say that playstation 3 has better lighting and sharper textures in this comparison.

Also, the PS3 version has Dynamic light effects and Depth of Field, whereas the 360 version does not.
Maybe they should have gotten the dev's who did the PS3 version, to do both versions.

The PS3 version seems darker in the first pic because the shadow dosent seem to be showing up inthe 36* version. you can see in the close up on her face that her hair casts a shadow on her forehead on PS3 where it dosent on 36*. there's not too much other notable differances besides the usual overly contrasted 36* visuals which make the PS3 version seem washed out but in actuality just shows more detail.
I will say though that the PS3 version is hands down more sharp so there's probably truth to the PS3 rendering at 720p.

Looks like PS3 version has more AA on screens and much more details. It seems, they are also no so blurry.

Don't see much of a differance. I would like to see a developer utilize both console's full power so that we can all see which console is clearly better.

The darkness in the PS3 version in the first shot is due to more realistic rendering. Tell me. Where is the big bright light source coming from in the 360 screen?
Now look at the couch in the PS3 version. Its near where the light from the outside is coming into the inner cabin of the boat. The roof blocks out all that light from the setting sun so in real life you aint gon get that super bright room like in the 360 screen.

WAAAAY more jaggies on the 360 version, I mean that's just ridiculous. And there is better lighting on the PS3 version.
The game isn't worth picking up IMO and doesn't have good graphics on either console, though.

The PS3 has more details and the colors are more natural and closer to real life.

@2 - I hope you feel stupid because your not even first lol. I don't know why people think its "cool" to put FIRST! whenever they "think" they are the first post of an article. Why do you care?
Anyway...
The PS3 screenshots seem to have better detail than the Xbox 360 but I don't see much difference other than that.

lol u know y its darker in the first: Its called a shadow. The 360 version doesnt even render it. It seriously looks crappier on the 360 version with lame shadowing lol. Look at the other ones. Its the first time i see such huge render quality difference between the two. Hopefully the gap will widen.

Well, it does seem that the PS3 version looks smoother...less jagged edges. All in all though, it doesn't make that big of a difference. Still looks pretty good on both consoles. Unfortunately, stuff like this flames goofball wars between console owners. It's pretty obvious by now that some titles just plain come out different between the two. Sometimes better technically, sometimes worse. Fewer pixels doesn't always mean better and neither does more pixels. It just depends.
Now, I'm interested to see if more titles start coming out that are 1080p and 60fps or even 30. That's where there supposedly is an edge for the PS3 and it will be interesting to see what next year brings. Still, it's not a matter of "PS3 rules and 360 blows!" It's just technical differences. I'm happy with my PS3 and I don't care if people go ahead and enjoy their 360's. Good for them!

ps3 looks better. the 360 version looks more jagged (the boat in #2, lara's jacket in #1, and her hand in the last shot). There's also more detail in the ps3 version (her buckle in shot 3 for example). I also found the lighting to be better in the ps3, as seen in the statue and the ligher shot.
but that's just upon stills, i dont know how it moves or how the game plays.

yh the ps3 version looks so much better espeacally in the 1st 1 - u cant even c the laptop screen rite on the 360 version, and anyway the ps3s gfx card was made by nvidia and the 360s by ATI so its kinda obvious which consoles gfx will perform better on any game.

Wow,and i thought Sony was just talkin' trash when it said that ps3 titles are starting to create some difference.The biggest difference imo is in the antialiasing,where the ps3 looks a LOT more crisp and clean.
