Biohazard 5 Demo Comparison

[Rick Hunter]

Well that still sounds like a beast to me, I only have a crappy Acer Aspire 5600, lol It can run Doom3 very well, and suprisingly HalfLife2 but nothing else

A "beast" is a 2000 bucks computer, not a very outdated 3-4 years old computer you can buy at 200-300 bucks.

You're talking about HL2, and it was released in 2003, 7 years ago... It was a LONG time ago.

I change my computer every 4-5 years now, but it's the first time in a while that I feel like my computer is not getting old. I guess it's because more and more games are multi platform and aren't demanding hardware wise. It's refreshing.

^ The glory of console->PC ports (that aren't called Assassin's Creed or The Force Unleashed)

Or GTA4, SF4... Good ports are really rare, and RE5 was a really good surprise

Actually, i think they might've just recently, in the past few months or so.

If a PC can run Doom 3 decently, it can run Half-Life 2 like a cakewalk. (Unless they finally, retroactively, updated the source engine to add a bunch of stuff to Half-Life 2 that wasnt' really possible nor there when it was first released)

A beast? My 3 years old computer runs it at max settings in 1680*1050 at a constant 50fps with a 8800GTX.

This game is very, very well optimized.

I think noone has a beast PC that can run it

Not sure this needed a bump for someone to say their are "huge" differences in the graphics? There obviously isn't.

I still can't wrap my mind around the concept of compulsory installation for console games. It bewilders me. I'm a PC gamer though and I'm dissaproving so few or none of you are playing RE5 on the PC.

Why would a "PC gamer" be "bewildered" at the idea of installing a game, regardless of it's format? Surely they're all installed for the same reason?

Further to that...why be disapproving that a franchise that started it's life on the home consoles is continued to be played on consoles at this point? Seems perfectly understandable to me.

But yes ive seen some high end shots running on PC's on NEOgaf and wow they shit all over the PS3 and 360 versions.

But if I had to say it I would say my 360 version looks sharper then the PS3, yet I find the draw distance is better on the PS3. I do notice alot of jaggies in the frame refresh rate on the 360 too.. that really puts me off playing it.

Im happy to take some photos of the draw distance if people want.

It is an awesome comparison of the Biohazard 5 demo which is the new released for both Xbox 360 and playstation 3. Both of them have a huge differences regarding the graphics. According to me Xbox 360 has more AA.

and i say buy 90% of ports on 360 because half of them are total crap on PS3 .

and congrats on microsoft coming up with a new failure , error 74 it didn't even take them a month, that must be one hell of a record.

Speaking of that error. I'm a new victim. My july 26th 2006 console is finally biting the dust. Time for the x-clamp kit to get here! Looks like I'll be playing RE5 on my PS3 after all! Oh well

[ThWorldGreatest]

I'll go ahead and recommend blind buys with 360 versions of all Capcom games

First off, congrats, particularly that the new Jasper units have better heat sinks.

i didnt really notice this but it was more flashy on the 360 version but the lighting was about the same.

[Ermac83]

The effects on that electric rod weapon looks really flashy and lights up the surroundings on the 360 version really nicely, while on the ps3, the effects are less stellar and the lighting is poor.

[hellrizer]

well im just happy the game came out after 4 long years.
