Borderlands console graphics comparison - is PS3 better?

Borderlands Banner Image

With any game running on Unreal Engine 3 technology, you’re going to get some texture loading issues, but by the looks of this new video featuring a graphics comparison between the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Borderlands, the PS3 loads in the higher resolution textures quite a bit faster than the Xbox 360 equivalent.

Once the initial texture load is done, however, everything looks pretty much the same.

You can make up your own mind after watching the PS3 VS Xbox 360 graphics comparison video below, and after you’re done, be sure to read El33tonline’s review of Borderlands. It’s mighty fine!

If programmed / done correctly... PS3 versions will always look better than XBOX 360.. but if the developer develops for the 360 and then does a cheap/fast/crappy port to PS3.. the 360 of course is going to look better.

But as far as which has better hardware.. PS3 hands down.

Oh come on, im sick and tired of seeing these Which looks better emails. fact of the matter is you bought what ever version for what ever system you have or choose to play on.

Stop feeding the fan boy trolls. Its "news" like this that just puts people in a pissing match.

The truth be told Both PS3 and Xbox 360 look better than what your momma played video games on so there nuff said.

Why not report real news.

I ment news, i guess thats what i get for bs'ing at work.

I can't believe the XBox version worked. Usually you get the Red Ring of Death after 30 seconds.

Well its the UE3 engine so of course is gonna look just about the same for both versions. The texture loading doesn't take near as long as the video shows if you have it installed on the 360. I'm sure the PS3 version required an install time that helps speed up the loading.

You can tell which system is superior and better by their exclusives!!! Its a fact that Ps3 exclusives have better graphics than xbox 360 games by far and that they generally get rated higher. These mulitplat games get watered down bcus these companies are tryin to please everyone and are use to working with the xbox and ps3 gamers suffer when the game could have been so much better because the ps3 is more powerfull. Please weve already seen that Ps3 is more superior with titles like killzone 2 and uncharted2 that will still look better than games like alan wake and splinter cell which are supposed to be hailed as graphical powerhouses on the xbox but wont come close.

ive got the 360 version, and mine doesnt take anywhere near that long to load the textures on 99% of loads. much like every other Unreal Engine 3 powered game, some plays you might never even have more than 1 second of texture loads, but the next time you might have 5 seconds. do that same text 10 times and the PS3 will take longer to load in half of them.

You stupid turd. The PS3 has a mandatory installation for this game. It can't even run at a proper speed from the slow bluray drive without it. On the X360 you can CHOOSE to install games. Any games. Once you do it, you will notice how it's actually loading textures faster than the PS3. It's the same for any UE3 game and it lies in the faster pipeline the X360 utilizes.

I wont lie to you, It seems like the only difference was brightness and maybe different buffer times, honestly looks like some well captured bullshit. They look the same on everything, scept pc cause pc can suck or rock. But, ps3 users have to talk trash to make themselves feel better. But sorry ps3 users at the end of the day you're still stuck with an awkward shitty feeling controller that doesn't contour to your hands. Sowwy =(

Please stop the fanboy crap, I have played on ALOT of diferent consoles over the time (PSX, PS1, PS2, PS3, Sega Mastersystem, Xbox 360, N64, Gamecube) and of course PC (FTW), and still don't understand why you love the compamies so much! Have they ever done anything for you? Yes the PS3 has the hardware edge over the 360, but programming is shit hard (kinda like the ps2 in the beggining) and developers can't be arsed to go through that all over again. I dont blame them! Xbox 360 will always have the graphical edge over Ps3 outside SOME exclusives, but hey, Halo 3: ODST looks amazing and better than all the PS3 games i have played to date (about 12). So stop saying "If they had polished it, it would look nicer", because it wasn't polished and it never will be.

I think the ps 3 have more better hardware sedge than the play station
