    FIRST!

    IMO there's not much difference on the other ones but there is on the first one.

    The PS3 is darker.

    Although I still have to go with PS3 because of the extra details.

    The xbox screenshots seem to have richer colour but that seems to give them a sort of plasticy look whereas the PS3's more earthy colours look more realistic.

    The shadows in the PS3 version appear to be more detailed too.

    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..

     They should make this comparisons, have the fanboys battle as their ones looks better and then a week later say "oh, we made a mistake, it is the other way around"

    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.

     Seems to be less jaggies on PS3 screenshots.

     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.

    Look how bad the jaggies are on the boat in the 360 version (second pic).

    Finaly we can see other games than exclusives with better GFX than the X360 version.

    sorry guys. imho the 360 shots look better. but who cares one way or the other, its still a bad game.

     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.
