PS3 version uses Texture Detail 1; World Detail 2

[ShmengeTravel]

After doing a comparison between the two it appears the PS3 version uses Texture Detail 1 and World Detail 2. It's possible the World Detail may even be 1, infact.

The best way to determine this is to fire up UT3 for the PC and run it at world detail 2, loading the downtown map. Do the same on the PS3. You'll see, both versions have a missing water texture where all the drain pipes are. You can jump in the water, it makes splashes, you can hear the water, but you can't see it. This only happens at World Detail 1 and 2, World Detail 3 has the water texture.

There's almost no way to do a comparison between the texture detail without having the PS3 and PC versions side by side, which I have, and it appears it uses Texture Detail 1.

Just stating this for the record books, incase anyone was wondering.

Wow. With all the talk about moving to console gaming, why would I want to? I don't want to play the game at those settings

Wow, that can't be true. 0.o

Any pics?

[ShmengeTravel]

I don't have pics atm but anyone who owns the PS3 version can clearly see the waters missing, just fire up downtown.

the graphics card needs an upgrade

It's probably a really low texture resolution, and 2 World Detail. Of course, odds are its not 100% identical to the PC settings, as its been tweaked for ps3, but thats probably something like it.

Console gaming still blows, tbh, which is why it sucks if developers are focusing on it. If consoles had become something closer-to-equal to PCs, then I'd have no problem becoming a console-gamer. But its still not even close-- just cheaper.

That'll never happen, consoles are designed to be about the same level as middle of the line gaming computers when they are made (in the case of the PS3 that'd be 1.5 years ago), unless we want to start updating consoles every few years or making consoles ridiculously expensive at launch things are going to stay the way they are.

Idd! It really saddens me whenever i hear a company decide to focus on console. I just think of the consequences for PC's.

who says the sliders on pc have any relation whatsoever to that on the ps3?

...did you miss the information of the original post? The whole, comparison thingy?

if i remember, world detail 2 has no player shadows; is it like that in the PS3 version?

The PS3 version has shadows on players, just checked

[JUNGLIST MOVEMENT]

wow, uh.. those settings sound like mine

Interesting. I don't have my PS3 handy and I wont be able to check on things on my PS3 for a while, but I didn't notice that about the shadows. I'd say they may have mixed and matched options, as obviously there's motion blur going on as well, but something just doesn't add up with the world detail. I mean you'd think releasing a game with a level that had water in it, that you'd want to have the water texture enabled, yet its disabled as if it's missing due to performance issues.

The best way would be to download the source and actually see what is set at what, anyone can get it and anyone can check. Would be a lot better than presuming anything.

You're a curious person, you requested a mutator to downgrade the speed to that of the console (which I did for you).

Too many 'probably's', unless you know for sure or have experienced both long term then rather then assuming things you should go and download the source, if you're genuinely interested in making factual comments.
