Worse On PS3(TM) - Lost Planet has "a less stable framerate and lower texture quality"

xbox-360-lost-planet-comparison-ps3.jpgObviously we take no pleasure in reporting that Lost Planet is worse on PlayStation3.

The fact that a new PS3 version of a year-old Xbox 360 game has a lower framerate, less detail and quite a few glitches is rather a sad state of affairs, really. We are definitely not smiling and giggling while typing this.

Here's how 1Up described the shameful differences between PS3 Lost Planet and the Xbox 360 game:

"There are downsides to this largess, though, which mostly look to come in the form of a less stable framerate and lower texture quality than the Xbox 360 release."

1Up also moaned that the rubbish and soon-to-be-obsolete SIXAXIS controller is too sensitive and makes it harder to aim accurately - so the game is tougher and less enjoyable to play. Plus, of course, there's no rumble in the PS3 version. Unless you've imported some proper controllers from Japan.

Such a shame. Such a terrible, terrible shame. On the plus side, PS3 Lost Planet does come with the extra downloadable maps Xbox 360 owners had to pay for (but were later released for free) included on the disc.

That's the power of Blu-ray for you! Shame PS3 hasn't got the power to match Xbox 360 circa 2007.

Like anyone cares about this very average game.

Oh, I just realised I'm on a site called the 'Xboxer'.

The Sixaxis is not rubbish, and it isn't obsolete.
Even the Dual Shock will have motion control.

I know that this is an xbox site so I am not expecting much compansion from it's contributors.

The problem is NOT the PS3. The problem is the the DEVELOPERS who have not devoted enough time to make games properly on the PS3. Those who have taken the time have produced great games that are Multiplatform (COD4, DMC4, Burnout).

I got sent here Via a link and never heard such Garbage but should expect this from a fanboy. again it is a developer being lazy and not the system. you talk trash about a game nobody really cares about but yet look at all the games that look better on the PS3 and a few games that are not even possible on the Xbox..

Posted by: SRS | February 7, 2008 1:28 PM

u forgot to mention that the ps3 version have to download to hard drive too the power of blu ray lol and man u guys are a real fanboys just accept that its worst on ps3

Posted by: amroalhiasat | February 7, 2008 1:38 PM

Guess it just goes to show you the true nature of "xboxer" Fanboys- "worst on PS3" I can't take anyone seriously in posts IF YOU CAN'T EVEN SPELL...............Idiot.

I'm going to leave the game out of this cause it sucks on both platforms.Guess we forgot to say that when we were to busy trying to figure out how to "spin" the truth about consoles. This site is a little too arrogant over a nearly obsolete computer with a high failure rate. Thank god it doesn't run windows, it would probably implode.

harsh words towards the ps3 coming from the xboxer....lets see what happens when they try porting over iono mgs4 or why not try resistance 2 over to the xbox? either way this year my ps3 is gonna get more love than my xbox

Posted by: jr | February 7, 2008 2:24 PM

My first impression of the test review I have performed revealed that the framerate is good, the controller accuracy is no different that that of Xbox and , the graphics contrast and details are much better in PS3. It is a decent porting of the game. Just like the xbox version, this game gives you the thrill of the campaign mode once and after that, no more thrill, in other word, just rent the game. The what if situation of which game is better than which can be compare to heavenly sword, if I were to port that game to Xbox, the xbox do not have the capability to produce such a heavenly sight.

Just ignore everubody first impression including the above comment and wait for the official reviewed from a reputable game review site.

Posted by: XboxFamistuOnkyoNihongo | February 7, 2008 2:35 PM

It also come with all of the down-loadable PC exclusive content that 360 owners never got a sniff of. Lost Planet is crap anyway so the fact that its a lazy port doesnt really matter in any way shape or form. The best thing about this game though is that its another exclusive lost just like Dead Rising and Just Cause. I think that leaves the 360 with about 8 lol.

People should be aware however that this review is from 1up who are basically up Bill Gates arse. They are the idiots who said The Orange Box on the PS3 was 'totally unplayable' but every single other person in the world who has played it just says its slightly worse.

Posted by: fjfjfjfj | February 7, 2008 3:05 PM

its a deep shame that you so called 'journalists' on this website have to resort to dogging the PS3 since you know whats coming round the corner. 2007: quite simply yours. well done. now however its the PS3's turn. and will be from now on. developers are getting better and im afraid your obselete console will just gather dust or break (again). i wouldnt call myself a fanboy before this, but god coming to your sight and reading this crap makes me annoyed. and quite frankly, its a laugh at the same time

Posted by: upyours | February 7, 2008 4:06 PM

This is from 1Up, good to back up 360, but why to bild up such a fairy tale??

"Put side by side on identical HDTVs, the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions looked and played very similarly; we noticed only nitpicky graphical differences. And while it's encouraging that not much got lost in the translation, we have to wonder why the game didn't get any better, either. It has been a year. As it is, our experience so far points to a standard port of what is almost a good game."

i am a fan of xbox 360 i like it more than ps3 but when it comes to 1up i dont believe shit about what they are saying they said that orange box which is worst on ps3 is unplayable seriously unplayable i like x360 more but 1up are just a fucken lyers

Posted by: amroalhiasat | February 7, 2008 4:48 PM

Wow - I don't have to even talk about this game when it is very apparent that everyone loves the PS3. What I find pathetic about this post is that you have been called out as a XBOX Fanboy by just about everyone that responded here. Also, face the facts XBOX 360 is over. We all know it and the time will come where the PS3 fans won't have to play these crappy ports and will enjoy games only playable on the PS3 because of it's storage capacities, oh yeah and the fact that it has EIGHT cell processors in it an not just two like the 360. And are you just plain stupid about your quote "Shame PS3 hasn't got the power to match Xbox 360 circa 2007" do you not know how to take ten minutes and just review the technical specs of each system. The 360 basically sucks.

Posted by: espostal | February 7, 2008 5:18 PM

I love Xbox fanboyism. The 360 is in a mjor slump and thats what causes articles like this to appear.

Posted by: Xboxfanboi | February 7, 2008 5:21 PM

Xbox dead in the water.. fanboys clutching at straws... 2nd gen ps3 games far superior to 360 dross... circa 2007 was xbox at its peak it aint gettin any better, ps3 has years of development growth... are there still any 360s working? who cares.

Posted by: churlish | February 7, 2008 5:41 PM

"Dead in the water"?

Xbox 360 has sold seven million MORE across the world than PS3. So PS3 must also be dead in the water. Wii has already won this generation.

Posted by: Losers | February 7, 2008 5:48 PM

This really isn't news. Like most xbox original exclusives lost planet is not a good game. It wasn't well made to begin with. No one cares wether it runs well on the ps3 because no one cares about that game. I played it on the xbox and it sucked from a technical programming stand point and now your suprised that its sucking on ps3? WOOPDY FRICKEN DOOO!!!! You could throw that game in a super comp and its still going to run like shit.

Posted by: Media man | February 7, 2008 6:06 PM

Why Don't you guys stick to providing info on xbox not ps3 you tards.

Posted by: Framp u biatch | February 7, 2008 8:05 PM

Because who wants to talk about a piece of shit 360. Man its a POS. PS3 is quality. Way more bang for your buck. And it comes stock with BD and wireless. Sony gives you what you pay for. The development of new technology.

Posted by: DudeGuy | February 7, 2008 10:46 PM

At least you PS3 fanboys can use your 8 SPEs for folding @ home because they seem to be completely useless for games. . No wonder the 3 PPC cores in the Xbox are mopping the floor with the PS3 which only has one.

Posted by: me | February 8, 2008 12:22 AM

7 million more? thats a lie! 360 is about 4.5 million ahead. Add a year on the growth plus about 8 million cheap americans who dont wanna pay 150 more dollars to get quality and u have a xbox fanboy. Thats about all i have to say! Go xbox and your red ring of death! xbox 1 had about 7 percent rrod. 360 nearing 43 percent!! (but thaTS JUST ACCORDING TO MICROSOFT) BUT YAY MICROSOFT LOL

"That's the power of Blu-ray for you! Shame PS3 hasn't got the power to match Xbox 360 circa 2007."

Get over yourself Xbit! Your talking about LOST PLANET for gods sake! Are you freaken kidding me? What happen to COD4? Runs and looks better on the PS3. Burn Out Paradise?? Runs and looks better on the PS3. Uncharted?? And all you can come up with is sorry ass LOST PLANET?

It's funny how all you seem to write about is negative shit on the PS3 and shit that is irrelevant. Shit that no one seems to give a rats ass about. I love how you call your site "XBOXER" yet you never talk about the XBOX. Must be nothing to talk about. Maybe you should change your site name to "PS3 HATER".

"People should be aware however that this review is from 1up who are basically up Bill Gates arse. They are the idiots who said The Orange Box on the PS3 was 'totally unplayable' but every single other person in the world who has played it just says its slightly worse."

The power of the PS3 ladies and gentlemen! It's only slightly worse than a 360!

Hahahahaha! You PS3 girls are a COMEDY GOLDMINE. You're so easy to wind up it's astonishing. I truly hope that Worse on PS3(TM) is a regular feature - go on Gary, you KNOW you want to do it. Thank goodness you're not representative of the majority of PS3 users or Sony would be crying into their tea on a daily basis with embarrassment.

The best bit is that you're all obsessed with MGS4 as if it's the only game in the universe and that having that invalidates every product on the market except the one that you own. Cracking stuff!

I also love the all guns blazing approach... but sadly pointing downwards blowing a sieve of holes in your own feet as you show astonishing ignorance of, well, pretty much everything.

Oh, whatever. This is great. Keep it up, PS3 girls! And remember, we're laughing AT you, not with you.

okay first of all lost planet isnt that good and its worst on ps3 but who the fuck said that cod4 and burnout paradise are better on ps3

Posted by: MeTaLlIcA | February 8, 2008 1:42 PM

"Also, face the facts XBOX 360 is over."

It is? That's odd, because i could've sworn it was still outselling the PS3, still has a far higher attach ratio, and still has a nicer line up on average for 08 at least. Might as well take it back to the shop!

"We all know it and the time will come where the PS3 fans won't have to play these crappy ports"

See you in 2010.

"and will enjoy games only playable on the PS3 because of it's storage capacities"
"oh yeah and the fact that it has EIGHT cell processors in it an not just two like the 360."

There are three cores in the 360, not two. There are indeed eight in the PS3. However, only 6 of those 8 are actually free for games, and it's not like we're seeing anything super duper amazing being done with them. It's funny you forget to notice that even with three more magical cores available the games are still pretty much neck and neck with the 360's "puny" three cores.

"The 360 basically sucks."

Thanks for your brilliant, technically minded, and obviously thorough conclusion!

Muppet.

This only goes to show that Crapcom engineers do not have the skills to handle the power of the Cell and Blue Ray. They should just stop developing for the PS3 until they get their acts together. The sophistication of the PS3 is not for everyone. Only top-level programmers are worthy to program for teh PS3. All that power comes at a price, and Crapcom has failed its loyal fans everywhere.

"but who the fuck said that cod4 and burnout paradise are better on ps3"

I did. Don't cry because it's true! I have a tissue for your eye if you need it.

@ Coffee Plant
HAHAHAHA. I love your name, it's pretty cute. Don't hate because you'll never be able to play MGS4 on your Xbox Red Ringer. I love how these Xbits cry every time we mention Metal Gear. It cracks me up. Too bad Microsofts Xbox 360's Red Ring Of Death(TM) is already a trade mark. Or how about "Wait One Month to play on the 360(TM)", "Fucking tray won't open man(TM)", "Charge me to host my own game(TM), "I wish we had MGS4(TM)" Have fun playing the best games on your ticking time bomb.

So let me start something new.... Microsofts new project.... Has anyone heard the rumors of the online merging with p3 and 360?? and how sega is buying rights to logitech controllers that microsoft now owns?? How Rare is in development on sega games but they are a microsoft 360 exclusive game developer?? I personally think it is awesome!! Cause microsoft has been talking about how they plan to be strickly download and software! And I think that if Sega and Microsoft would merge and make a Dreambox(xbox 1080(code name)). I would trade my p3 and my sony fanboyism in with it towards this brilliant piece of machinery!! I mean I am a sega fanboy at heart they were just to far before their time! I love Sega but 2 things piss me off about microsoft I bought a 360 at launch and had three in a year (rrod). 2 the games are kinda lame. I love Gears, Bioshock, and Dead rising but thats about all. My p3 games look way better than their counterparts on the 360... and I like the p3 controller ten times better... I HATE THE BUMPERS!!! But all i gotta say is Street Fighter 4 bitches!!! multiplatform so when the internet merges Im kicking everyones azz!! btw Sega rules!! Comment back!

Posted by: justin | February 9, 2008 5:19 AM

oh yeah.... MGS4 will own Halo!!! lotta luv for my boys at Konami who have been around a hell of a lot longer than Bungie!! (the reason is because after all this time Halo 1 is better than halo 3). Peace Bitches
