GamePro compara la PS3 y la 360 en juegos multi

The majority of games released these days are multi-platform, getting released on at least two of the major consoles at roughly the same time. This is especially true of this generation’s PS3 and Xbox 360, but which console does the best job with these games?

Until the day that we possibly get a universal console which plays every game by every company on it, the debate continues to rage over which console has the best version of a game available for it. If you’re an owner of more than one console, then you may have to make a decision over which console to buy a certain game for.

The Wii doesn’t really come in to it, as it’s not capable of playing many of the games that developers are making, and consequently, third party support sucks. So it comes down to a straight fight between the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360.

Gamepro decided to try and answer this question once and for all, in an article titled ‘PS3 vs. Xbox 360 ports: The cold, hard truth‘, but whether you choose to believe their conclusions or not depends which side of the fence you sit.

In the feature, they compared Assassin’s Creed, Burnout: Paradise, Call of Duty 4, and Devil May Cry 4, looking at controls, graphics, loading times and online integration. The results are fuzzy and more down to opinion than anything else.

For starters, the author of the post, Tracy Erickson, is clearly a fan of the PS3 Sixaxis over the Xbox 360 controller. On numerous occasions in the article, she (I assume) refers to the superiority of the Sixaxis for playing games with:

Assassin’s Creed - “The Xbox 360 excels with first-person shooters, but third-person action games…not so much. As such, the Sixaxis is better suited for free running about the ancient domains of Assassin’s Creed.”

Burnout: Paradise – “The Xbox 360 controller’s triggers feel better for acceleration than the L2/R2 buttons on a Sixaxis, but really, it’s a subjective point.”

Devil May Cry 4 - “Even though it lacks the vibration of an Xbox 360 controller, there’s no question the Sixaxis is better for playing Devil May Cry 4.”

I’ve heard many people argue the other way and chosen the Xbox 360 controller as the best out there, so this seems to be just about opinion rather than “the cold, hard truth”.

Then comes the conclusion which, surprise surprise, informs us that the Playstation 3 really is the choice for multi-format releases. But there are some huge leaps made to arrive at that conclusion:

“While we can’t definitively name one console as having better multi-platform releases across the board, there’s a clear winner among these four games: PlayStation 3 beats the Xbox 360 handily.”

“Judging by what we’ve seen with these recent games, you may be better off picking up PlayStation 3 versions of high-profile multi-platform games for the time being.”

There’s nothing wrong with including opinion in articles, and we do it all the time at BLORGE, but you can’t pass those opinions off as fact with a title and content which purports to be “the truth”.

There are very few differences between the multi-platform games released simultaneously on the PS3 and Xbox 360, and certainly not many that ordinary gamers would notice. But without any solid evidence whatsoever, Erickson is urging you to buy PS3 every time. That’s quite a jump, unless of course the writer herself is guilty of being a fanboy?

La mayoría de los juegos lanzados hoy en día son multiplataforma. Esto ocurré más que nunca en la generacion de Ps3 y 360, pero ¿qué consola es mejor en los multi?

Este dilema, estará presente hasta que podamos jugar a cualquier juego en cualquier consola. Si eres poseedor de ambas consolas, debes escoger que juego comprar en cada una. Wii, no toma parte en este debate, ya que no puede mover la mayoría de los juegos que salen para estas dos plataformas, por lo que la guerra está entre Ps3 y 360.

GamePro ha usado los siguientes juegos en la comparación: Burnout, assassin's, DMC4 y COD4. El resultado es una opinión más que otra cosa. Para empezar el autor es un claro defensor del Sixaxis, frente al control de la 360:

Assassin's: " El mando de la 360 es bueno para los shooters, pero para los juegos en tercera persona..deja algo que desear. El sixaxis, es superior para este tipo de juegos.

Burnout:"Los gatillos de la 360 son superiores para acelerar y frenar que los L2 y R2 del sixaxis, pero esto es una opinion subjetiva"

DMC4: " Incluso teniendo vibracion el mando de 360, no hay duda de que el sixaxis es mejor."

Mucha gente opina lo contrario al autor, en los comentarios de este articulo en GamePro.

Ahora llega la decision de que consola es mejor, sorpresa, sorpresa....el autor elige la PS3, estos son los argumentos:

"No se puede decidir un claro vencedor en todos los juegos multi, pero en estos 4 la Ps3 gana a la 360."

"Juzgando lo visto en los juegos recientes, debemos elegir la Ps3 (entiendo que es por el tiempo que lleva en el mercado, no lo entiendo demasado)"


No hay nada erroneo en esta opinion, pero no puedes aceptar este tipo de articulos como ua verdad absoluta. Realmente hay muy pocas diferencias entre ambas plataformas y la mayoria de los jugadores ven ambas versiones iguales. sin pruebas claras el autor nos dice que la Ps3 es mejor. ¿Eso es un salto, a menos que por supuesto el escritor mismo sea culpable de ser un fanboy?
