Ghostbusters PS3 Vs 360 difference shown in screens [Update]

Digital Foundry’s Richard Leadbetter’s put the “rumours” to rest regarding the differences between the PS3 and 360 versions of Ghostbusters. The PS3 version’s resolution is far smaller, basically.
Here’s the PS3 game, and this one’s from the 360 version. The difference is a tad obvious.
Rich tells us the PS3 version runs at 960×540, while the 360 game hits 1280×720.
And that’s that.
Update: A Terminal Reality spokesperson told Joystiq yesterday: “For the record, the PS3 version [of Ghostbusters] is softer due to the ‘quincunx’ antialiasing filter and the fact we render at about 75% the resolution of the 360 version. So you cannot directly compare a screen shot of one to the other unless you scale them properly. The PS3 does have less available RAM than the 360 – but we managed to squeeze 3 out of 4 textures as full size on the PS3.”

“To me you seem to have tendencies towards narcissm masking a deep-seated angst about your own ability to function in a world other than one which privileges anonyminity and ego-worship, as suggested by your auto-heroic website.”

Where have I dictated to you why you say something, what your motives are and what you’re feeling?
I haven’t. So, really, stop insinuating I have and stop trying to speak for someone who you know absolutely nothing about.
Or continue – and, like every other reactionary fool on here, keep proving me right.
And, as you can see Axle, I’m perfectly demonstrating how I don’t discriminate against a person. I respond only to what someone says, not who they are. There’s very very few people on this site that can argue the same thing. Even though, like O’Connor in #99 and #101 they’re so full of their own belief they can’t see what a mockery of themselves they make whenever they write something. But they all club together in one big amorphous blob of mob-rule and denial and consistently focus their energies on one person (that’d be discrimination, kids!) they never have to admit to themselves how they’re just as bad (and, thanks to discrimation, worse) than him they are.
Deny deny deny deny deny fuel deny deny deny deny
Ooooh. I’m so bitter and miserable! My keyboard is covered in stinging, salty tears. Oh woe!

I don’t see any other discrimination apart from against you.
Are you special? Or are you wrong?
Could you look yourself in the mirror and ask that question? Could you ask the same of your wife/son/daughter/dog?
Am I special? Am I wrong?
Reflexivity and self-evaluation is the sign of a healthy human being. Can you do it? Or is everyone else wrong?

“Where have I dictated to you why you say something, what your motives are and what you’re feeling?”
“…get the hump, spit out a troll comment, then pout when his longer statement isn’t regarded as anything I should give two shits about.”
“And Hunam, even though you reference the point in your post, you still failed to understand that after trolling someone (and reasoning that, hey, it must be ok because everyone is doing it – classy thinking there!) exempts your reasonable attempts at posting of any worth. I already explained this once to you already but you’re just going to continue to bang your head against that wall and then argue that I’m unreasonable because I don’t respect people that just attack me out of the blue because that seems to be what the other sheep are doing.”
“Hunam,
As for comparisons, this is the bit none of you fakers and trolls ever understand. You’re are ALL so busy pointing the finger and laying the blame at me you always give yourselves the benefit of doubt. Your ‘reasonable’ way of always blaming someone else for your repeated trolls and attacks totally destroy any worth in your statements. You like to attack first and then, sometimes, try to reason afterwards.”
“You’ve already decided you know what I’m doing, why I’m doing it, what’s motivating me etc etc.
You’re another one of these self-proclaimed Shatner experts where you decide you know me and your word on me is more accurate than my own.”
Take your pick.

Don’t bother reading them. The essence: Shatner is deluded and he likes to upset people, using other’s argmemnets to validate his own viewponts before invalidating them through straw-man arguments.
Let’s talk Ghostbastards.

It’s also worth noting that in the EDGE review the PS3 version suffers with a few performance issues and framerate drops too.

Is it any good? I’ve got a 360 and was wondering if it’s worth importing or not? Pretty difficult to tell though if no-one’s played the 360 version yet . . . ?

Yay! Don’t read stuff. Just listen to a summary events by another person who hasn’t read stuff.
Blind leading the blind much? Haha!
As for you Hunam. I told you before that after you go around trolling people you can’t possibly expect them to care for your efforts to make a reasonable statement. You acknowledged this twice. Yet, hours later, like an red-faced pouting infant, you’re still going on as if you’re a victim and have acted impeccably.
What a beautifully entertaining stream of delusion this is to watch.
Gotta keep pointing fingers at the same ONE guy and ignoring you own behaviour. Funny how ONE guy gets such a response from all of you PERFECT citizens isn’t it?
Good to see Axle, newcomer that he is, has fallen right into the mob rule that all the rest of the blindly reactionary sheep live by.
Comply with the mob behaviour or have the mob turn on you at length. Not that there’s ANY evidence that supports that view at all. No siree! It’s all made up.

Oh goody. The grammar nazi routine. Excellent!
I’ve not seen that for about 5 days. And that was another wonderful display of pettiness and discrimination followed up by VG247 itself trying to slyly move the goalposts and editing poorly written articles on the quiet.
I’m sure Shyvah, the newly-signed-just-so-they-can-join-in-with-the-other-trolls has grammar checked ever other post and article on the site. Grammar Nazis care about grammar, not about who writes it. Right?
Hunam, it should sound familiar: the text you quoted says “As I told you before..” in it. Seems like you’re too quick to react before you’ve even comprehended what you’re reacting to.
And you topped it with a “Yay don’t read stuff” quote too. That’s like irony squared! Wonderful work.
Glad it’s finally starting to sink in. Will you learn? Doubtful!

Newcomer? You talk some shit Shatner. I’ve been visting this site since the day it launched and was promoted by Eurogamer.
I’ve even had debates before with you, but you patently don’t remember.
You don’t half talk some bollocks, now fuck off and go and play with your 15-year old friends on Destructoid.

Now, you see, THERE’S a person demonstrating anger and bitterness.
We don’t have to guess at what he’s feeling because he’s made it so clear.
So good to see that those who like to dish it out are so uniformally rubbish at getting it served back!
I still see you’re littering your comments with assumptions about me and my behaviour though. Not really learning how that one works are you Axle?

grown men justifying their purchase of console. its embarrassing. who in their right mind should give a shit if some blert on the internet thinks the xbox sucks or ps3 is awful, the game will play exactly the same on both systems yet that really doesnt seem relevant to anyone.
i also find it funny the way a lot of people on these games forums go on about the power of these consoles, as if they have actually worked on them, had the chance to develop a full game on them. have you? show us proof.
its seems a lot of people are hell bent on telling everyone how great they are and focused on proving it by yelling at everyone how the choice of system they made was the right one and everyone else is dumb. just get on playing games for fuck sake.

I see Hunam’s really embracing the “I’m just gonna troll now” thing. I look forward to his next pouting effort when he wants to have a more reasonable comment be taken seriously.
Trolls who want to be taken seriously. It’s fun to watch. So long as you have a healthy sense of perspective that is.
Shyvah, you also missed the pretty fucking blatant irony in that post too. But then, so many people are busy ONLY seeing the parts they want to see. You’re just another one that does the selective comprehension thing, it appears. I’d encourage you to be less reactionary with your retorts but, hey, everyone else knows SO much better than me.

I really hope no one will buy this PS3 version bullshit. If they are not able to do a good version, better don’t sell it, but don’t insult users that already know what they could have done. SD, come on, that’s no even a bad conversion, is just a “we didn’t want to work so we just converse the PS2 version to be playable in PS3″.

Still, it makes a change from an unhinged loon making death-threats over the internet. Heh. 360 owners! I hear it’s the red-rings and all that violence that make them go mad.
Oh, and careful Hunam, you didn’t use correct grammar in your post. Someone might want to pull you up on that. Assuming they’re not a discriminating troll.
