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.

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By Nas · Posted

      Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
