I preordered the 360 version just expecting that version to be superior as is usually the case but now I have found out that the PS3 was the "lead" console and the 360 version will have to be on two disks. Needless to say, I'm thinking about switching my preorder. What do you guys think?
EDIT: Corrected title cuz i'm a dufus
I'm getting the Ps3 Collectors edition, but thats just because I rather have it on the Ps3. I'm pretty sure the xbox version will have the option to install the game. Two discs is not a big deal.Quote:

Sounds like a prudent move. Get on it.Quote:

PS3 whenever possible.
That's the version I'm getting.
May not matter in the end. If I had both consoles, I'd just wait until there's confirmation from reviews/people before purchasing. With games like Bayonetta, it was clear that the PS3 verision was vastly inferior, but most games are pretty identical any more.
Any of you guys have PS Plus and played the demo yet?
Yeah, I was going to say.Quote:

Really? I thought it was usually the other way around, going all the way back to Ridge Racer. And big time in the case of FF13.
Haha vastly inferior
I would lean towards the 360 version. Though the difference between the PS3 and 360 version will be minimal at best. Just like the example of FF13, the graphical difference between the two consoles was very close, I can't really argue.
ff13 is one of the few examples of the ps3 version being better.
the 360 version was a lazy port. theres no way they couldn't have encoded the video better.
id wait and see.
if ps3 is the lead platform id lean towards that if you have to have it right away.
wish there was a pc version of most games.
I'll get the PS3 version for sure.
What's in the CE, anyway?
I'm getting the PS3 version.
You must be joking. That was "close" like VHS is close to blu-ray.Quote:

I'm also feeling the cover art alot more then the regular version.
Most times the PS3 version is better, because it is superior architecture. Not is the case for SUPER IV and SFIV though, which added a extra frame, making every combo in the game requiring a '1 frame' link more difficult. I'll be buying PS3 for titles like this. Fighters require more research.
From the red ring issue, I'd definitely be buying PS3 titles over the 360 if I had one when it comes to drawn out games. I have held out on a 360 because of this, but I want one for fighters..
There were a lot of comparison pictures and videos posted online and the difference was pretty drastic.Quote:

I've seen the website that compares both systems, and the difference is hardly "drastic." I wish I could find the site, but side by side, the screenshots are hardly discernible. You'd have to be an extremely anal graphics guy to get bent out of shape over those differences.Quote:

You are crazy. The differences included some things casting or not casting shadows. That's drastic.Quote:

for every game thats better on ps3 you can find at least two examples that are better on 360.
mafia 2 didnt have grass. ghostbusters didnt have the same particle or texture effects or the same level of aa. it goes on.
typically the main development platform looks better, and thats usually the 360. except in the case of something very japanese like ff13, which was supposed to be exclusive anyway, you get a bad 360 port.
lol, it's still a shitty game regardless of what platform you play it on :DQuote:

Guys, he already said, the 360 version's basically gonna be a port. The http://www.lensoftruth.com web site is your friend if you want to settle this dispute about which console is usually better.
I just started playing it last night.Quote:

Dude, you got guns, you rock a 'fro and a chocobo lives in your hair. Why are you panicking about ANYTHING?
Also, not digging the high technology. I don't HATE it, but it all feels played out. At least it's visual style didn't evoke memories of Episode One the way XII did when I fired it up.
From what I understand, the gameplay gets monotonous until about 25 hours in. Crazy. Can I last that long? We'll see.
Ever Since Fifa 96 I stuck to the Playstation format. Last year I bought Fifa 10 for the Ps3 even after playing the demo on both formats and noticing that the game play ran much smoother and the graphics were slightly better on the 360, but I thought it was just my imagination.Quote:

I'm still going with Castlevania on the triple though. :)
I liked it. What happens is that the game doesn't actually open everything up to you until about that far in, which is kind of annoying.Quote:

The gameplay is really solid, IMO, makes up for most stuff.
As far as the graphics go, I played it on the 360, and that version looks terrible, really. It was compressed to hell in the translation, really honestly wish I had played the PS3 version. Look at comparison shots of the cinematics, in particular, to see just how bad it really was. The textures are also really bad.
But overall, not sonic is right, the lead platform is the one that's normally going to look better, and that's often the 360 version. Thankfully, more and more companies seem willing to put resources into both versions of their titles now, and both come out looking awesome, ala Modern Warfare 2.
Yeah, I've played CoD4, WaW and MW2 on both next gen systems and if there is a difference graphically I definitely could not tell. Infinity Ward and Treyarch definitely take time to ensure their PS3 ports are good.
The only game I've personally played that was just straight out better on the 360 was Bayonetta. I played the PS3 demo and it was worse, graphically. It didn't ruin the game or anything IMO, but if you have a choice the 360 version is definitely what you should go with. What a waste, there was no reason that game couldn't have ran just fine on the PS3. Just a sloppy port.
Looks like reviews are starting to roll in:

This is the first game I've REALLY REALLY wanted to play in... a long time... Maybe No More Heroes was the last game I've looked forward to...Quote:

PS3,but I'd get it on any version if I had to.I love the Castlevania series! Super stoked about this game!
Where can I order the CE edition version for the ps3 and 360? European shops please !
Based on these reviews and how they break down the game's various parts, I am really looking forward to it. A lot.
Played the 360 demo today...what a steaming pile of shit. I hope the game's better.
idk i kind of dug the demo but then again im drunk an games look an play awsome when on liqour:buttrock:Quote:

One of the few games that makes me wish I had a PS3.
Totally called it, btw...
It looks good, but it also looks like it has some of the awkward climbing and traversing control/camera angle problems that pissed me off in Shadow of the Colossus.
i really cant wait for this game tomorow.i have been playing castlevania since thenes days.while i here its nothing like the old joints im still going to get it jus to support.shit i support snk an all they releases so its only right
I took a chance and picked this one up tonight. From what I've played so far, your comment is accurate. Why they felt the need to completely rip off SotC for a Castlevania game is a mystery. Especially in such a shameless and uninteresting way.Quote:

Excellent voice acting too, but thats to be expected out of the talent they assembled for the cast.
Yeah, this is going to sound stupid, but the voice cast is almost the thing that makes me want to play it most.Quote:

I've been hearing the opposite which is why I switched my preorder to the PlayStation version. Poo, I have to decide by 3 o'clock today.Quote:
