Both versions of the upcoming arcade football title were displayed side-by-side at E for All. The Xbox 360 version held a faster frame rate at 60 frames per second. Colors were vibrant and animations were solid. (Video here)
The PS3 version held at 30 frames per second, a respectable standard, but half the rate of the rival version. Additionally, the title looked less complete than the Xbox 360 build and yielded apparent collision and animation issues. (Video here)
EA in Aug. released Madden NFL 08 to the Xbox 360 and PS3 to similar observations - the Xbox 360 version is 60 frames per second and the PS3 version is 30 frames per second.
While recent comparisons may leave an impression of a weaker PS3 hardware, Sony Corp.'s basketball offering NBA 08 runs at a top 60 frames per second in full 1080p high-definition resolution.
Additionally, a developer for Activision Inc.'s Call of Duty 4 told message board readers in Aug. that the PS3 version will run at 60 frames per second with full anti-aliasing like the Xbox 360 counterpart.
However, in a tight war between the two consoles every release that showcases a superior experience can be a decision-maker for consumers on the fence. To date, the Xbox 360 has showcased a more consistent pallet of visual bang-for-buck in titles like Gears of War, but Sony's recent Heavenly Sword and Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction relay a solid batch of high-definition eye candy. For reference, both Gears of War and Heavenly Sword run at 30 frames per second.
In the end, the hardware battle may not be between visuals at all. Nintendo Co.'s less powerful Wii is outselling both rival consoles in worldwide markets with mass market, motion-sensitive software. But it's never dull to see one hardware outshine the other in a friendly visual bout.
Note: Video capture footage on YouTube is at 30 frames per second; as if you already didn't know.
