Re: Battlefield 3
From my understanding,the PS3 version will be using pretty much the same lighting effects as the PC. There was an article that explained it all in depth....I'll see if I can find it....here you go...
Why the PS3 version of Battlefield 3 might be the superior console port
It looks PS3 owners would be getting a better looking port of Battlefield 3 than Xbox 360 owners will be entitled to. This isn’t because DICE wants to discriminate but because of the fact that the PS3 version of Battlefield 3 will support SPU-based deffered shading whereas the Xbox 360 version will only have tiled-based deferred shading.
DICE cites the reason as being the Xbox 360 not having SPUs, however it appears this will provide a better experience for PS3 owners as it’ll enable them to produce better visuals as having the ability to use the SPU+GPU together “raises the bar.” This also enables to offload some of the SPU’s work to the GPU, providing them with more space to create better looking shaders and environments.
Although, DICE says they’ll be able to use some of 360′s CPU power to offload its GPU’s work to an extent, it still wouldn’t provide them with the same level of freedom that having a dedicated SPU-based deffered system will for the PS3. Here are some slides taken out of their presentation:
The first one confirms that the PS3 version will be using SPU-based deffered system:
The second shows that the Xbox 360 won’t have that feature and will be using a tiled-based deffered system instead:
The final one shows why exactly it’s better to have an SPU-based deffered system:You can view detailed reports of having SPU based deffered shading on the PS3 over at DICE’s official presentation regarding the same over here. The presentation regarding the Xbox 360′s tiled-based deffered shading can be found here (Slides 63-83).
Although, this doesn’t mean for sure that the PS3 version of Battlefield 3 will be the better looking console port of the title, but if DICE’s presentation is to be believed it certainly looks to be that way. Do let us know your thoughts below.
I played both versions of the Beta,and while the 360 did look good,it seemed to me that the 360 was over saturated and blacks were crushed in comparison to the PS3.
Either way,both consoles are going to look great,and I would figure that the decision would be made on controller preference as well as where your friends are going to be playing.People are for reviews if it backs their argument, and against them when they don't.“I believe the game is designed to reward the ones who hit the hardest – If you can’t take it, you shouldn’t play!” Jack Lambert“Quarterbacks should wear dresses.” Jack LambertComment

Re: Battlefield 3
I've pre-ordered for the PS3, and I know there was more than a dozen of us in an OS Platoon during the beta. I think there will be a good amount of OSers at least playing on PS3.
I have a laptop that could probably handle it, but I'm not going to game much on the PC until I get a new desktop.Comment

Re: Battlefield 3
Ill be getting it for the PS3 as well guys. I have both systems, the BETA looked much better on PS3 than the 360. The only beef I have with the PS3 side of things is that no one has mics on the PSN. Add me on your guys friends list for the OS groupComment

Re: Battlefield 3
If anyone needs someone to play with, feel free to send me a friend request on PSN. I'll be playing this a lot with friends/clan mates. We all use mics, too.
Oh, and if you do add me, like authentic said, please put something about OS in the message. Otherwise I'll just think you're another person that thinks "Miss" means I'm a chick...Comment
