Those screens really don't do justice to just how big the differences are when at 1080p on a full size screen. The AA is painfully poor on the PS3, in fact I would say it was a 'major' issue as it is so different on the 360. Just for example when you start the story mode and you have the huge text "a DICE game" etc it looks like someones just hacked away with it with a saw, where as on the 360 it looks smooth and as it should.

I tried to take some pics but my camera doesn't capture it properly

Oh I'm so getting this game, it's amazing (Y)

Me too (Y) I need to play through the demo a few more times so I stop spacking out when I come across the bunch of cops you can fight, I keep ending up hitting the face buttons and end up just facing the other away etc haha. I'm just annoyed the demo isn't longer :D

You know, there never has been a source which says it was lead development on PS3. I think that all started because we saw the first ingame footage from some Sony event last year and because it will get exclusive DLC. I've yet to actually read a source which says its PS3 leading though.

So that's probably why it does have AA issues as it's actually being developed alongside the 360/pc.

Recently, Sony has talked about developers using the PlayStation 3 as their native development platform if their aim is to get quality games, whether they will eventually develop it for the PS3 or the Xbox 360.

In connection with this, EA DICE has just detailed that they are currently using the PS3 as the lead platform in the development of Mirror's Edge (PS3, Xbox 360, PC).

This was detailed in the September issue of the Official PlayStation Magazine (OPM). Therefore, PS3 fans should be delighted to experience a high-quality game knowing that it was developed with the PS3 in mind.

To those of you who haven't seen Mirror's Edge yet, this game is an action-FPS that incorporates acrobatics as a gameplay element. Look out for its release later this year on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.

If i'm honest, it does seem as if people use the PS3 as a lead platform just to be able to get decent performance out of the game. I mean look how much better it looks on the 360. How many games have come out for the 360, then out on the PS3 later but been delayed or the devs just shooting for 'comparable' performance and graphics. If you have both consoles I see no reason you'd get the PS3 version unless it turns out better than the demo.

hmm looks pretty nice.. Seeing it side by side on the PS3 and 360 I see no differences to make you want to buy 1 over the other. God I should have got a xbox over a Wii... stupid kids :)

Any word on the PC demo? Would like to try it out there.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By +Random Stranger · Posted

      I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By tradesetter · Posted

      The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
