PS3 Or XBOX 360, And Why?

[@steveb9573]

Xbox 360 Cuz Is More Colorful And Sharper Than PS3

[@sonicfanboi9619]

XBOX 360 CUZ THE COLORS ARE LIGHTER AND ITS MORE SHARPER THAN THE PS3 VERSION

[@EternalNeko56]

Both, they are the same and Sonic Unleashed is generaly great game

[@legas2908]

Java

[@himitsusonzai4396]

Xbox, all of the above.

[@ryanburke5549]

Xbox 360 has a 30FPS cap, while PS3 is uncapped at 60FPS. Even with the cap difference, both run almost identically on native hardware. When I say identically, I mean both drop to extremely low numbers. However, in this day and age, the best way to play the game is on an Xbox Series X. While the resolution remains at 880x720, the framerate is boosted to 60FPS and it runs absolutely great! It is night and day compared to original hardware. Also, the loading is much shorter. The high frame rate does a massive service to the game’s amazing art direction and lighting.

[@Mister_Jay_Tee]

Also runs great on Series S lol. Basically the same thing.

[@ryanburke5549]

@@Mister_Jay_Tee I don’t have a Series S, but thanks for letting me know. I can imagine it would run fairly similar to the Series X.

[@Mister_Jay_Tee]

@@ryanburke5549 Yeah, it's locked at a smooth 60. I was curious for a while but I figured out they could both handle it about as well, the X and S.

[@SacilvioSantos]

On multiplat games, Xbox 360 usually destroys PS3. I have both and always prefer these games on Xbox, mainly if they are backwards compatible on SX too (I got one). But in general, I still play a lot the 360, there are tons of games without trophies on PS3 - but have achievements on 360. I got 1000G on Dead Space 1 and I'm playing Simpsons The Game to get 1000G now, both have no trophies on PS3.

[@Keelvin321]

Dead space 1 does have trophies, I got platinum a while ago, now the Simpsons game really doesn't.

[@SacilvioSantos]

@@Keelvin321 Yep, you're right, DS1 have trophies, I'm mistaken. Some famous game without trophies are Army of Two, Assassin's Creed 1, Call of Duty 3, F.E.A.R., NFS Carbon, Silent Hill: Homecoming, The Godfather, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2.

[@Keelvin321]

@@SacilvioSantos Yeah, trophy support was only added to PS3 in July 2008, basically all games before that don't have trophies, but some got updates that added, like uncharted 1, gta 4, metal gear solid 4, bf bad company, etc...

[@levimoura8086]

Xbox 360 does better here. Although it's capped at 30 FPS, it runs consistently better than the PS3, i.e. the Werehog stages. The textures seem to be slightly sharper on the 360, the saturation and contrast pop a little more, and the game has unique loading screens when changing the time in the 360 version. Other than that, they're very close.

[@gendypf181]

Sonic Unleashed, my favorite game in the SEGA franchise, since the first time I played it as a child. and the tremendous budget that they put on these 2 versions is incredible, it's a pity that most people didn't appreciate this Epic Game in its time and that years later immediately became the best Sonic Game. I don't know if it was hypocrisy or if they rectified.

[@yamandoesstuff9755]

the xbox 360 takes the cake. not only are the colors better thanks to xbox 360's built in color correction, the game is more stable because its locked at 30 fps.

[@yamandoesstuff9755]

[@BatMane95]

This one's a hard one, but Xbox 360 since the Load times are quicker, Graphics look better, and the performance is (slightly) better than PS3 because of the 30fps cap.

[@SEGAHEADDY]

Doesn't sound like much of a hard decision at all.

[@SEGAHEADDY]

@poof69420 Yup. This game + Sonic Unleashed taking advantage of resolution and framerate boost is one of the reasons I plan on picking up a Series X one day! Oh and of course 4K/60fps Sonic Colors doesn't hurt either...

[@romeoramirez69420]

I prefer PS3 because it doesn't have a weird green tint over everything like the Xbox 360. (And because I played the PS3 version and it has uncapped 60fps and personal bias)

[@destroyermcw626]

I played on PS3 first for this version And wasn’t too shabby except for that Frame rate and longer loads compared to Xbox 360

[@agentomecha634]

I like the Xbox 360 version better. The colors are more vibrant and the framerate doesn’t really bother me that much. Plus I grew up playing the 360 version so there’s some bias.

i prefer the ps3 version. The ps3 has no fps lock, thats why the ps3 version is smoother. The graphics on both versions are plus or minus the same

[@DBGabriele]

The ps3 graphic is absolutely the worst, with lower resolution, lower shadow resolution, lower post-effects quality, and the worst texture filtering. Yes, it is unlocked, but the framerate goes down 30fps very often.

[@FDave26]

@@DBGabriele I wouldn't say. The PS3 version is faster, and sometimes it sags, but not less than x360. Plus, many speedrunners prefer the PS3 version

[@dawnstar9557]

Is anybody gonna bring up the loading screen differences between the Xbox 360 and PS3? In the PS3 version, when you select "Wait Until Day/Night", the loading screen is just a moon and sun medal flipping (it changes per flip). In the Xbox 360 version, we get these Hedgehog-Werehog transformation sequences we get to watch. "Wait Til' Night" is where we get Sonic turning into a Werehog, whereas "Wait Til' Day" we get the opposite.

[@maricthehedgehog]

Sonic Origins comes tomorrow So you can make a comparison between PS4 & PS5 & Xbox one & Xbox Series X & PC & Switch ?

[@GamerFunOriginallyAarush]

Can you do a versus between Sonic Generations for Xbox 360 and PS3?

[@GroupMPro]

sure

[@JustaWatcher769]

Xbox 360 is slightly more colorful and has a tiny bit higher resolution(or at least it looks like it) and the shadows are softer, but I think the higher frame rate on PS3 makes it the better version

[@scr1pted_0]

the PS3 version also usually runs around 30 fps and if you're lucky maybe 40-45 fps. the difference isn't going to be noticeable in terms of frame rate

[@darthtyranus787]

If you are very unlucky,it wont go higher than 10 fps

[@TheAdrianyt2808]

En los Colores y Texturas... Es lo mismo. Porque en PS3 no tiene el RGB Rango Completo de HDMI activado para que se vea en la capturadora, pero el lag se debe a que el juego funciona a 60 fps en PS3, mientras que en XBOX 360 va a 30 fps. porque en XBOX fue facil hacer el Desarrollo debido a su hardware. Y la versión de PS3 es un Port solo que con los FPS desbloqueados.

[@saniquinho10]

Many are saying how much better the PS3 version is but that's not the case, the PS3 does have 60 FPS but it drops instantly all the time while on the 360 ​​it's much more unstable and solid, the textures and shadows on the 360 ​​are of a higher quality , the colors are much more vivid and vibrant and when you turn into the Werehog or Normal there is an animation showing the transformation, something that the PS3 doesn't have, in addition to correcting some flaws in the controls such as the Quick Step and Bugs in Patches, so n, the 360 ​​version is much superior, because it is also the original and the PS3 version is a port!!

[@aahiljcat]

the reason why the xbox is more colorful is because it uses a thing which people call "piss filter" which makes the game look a little greenish-yellow. This is easily noticable in skyscraper scamper day. The buildings looks a little yellowish in xbox while it looks gray in ps3

[@ChrisThePlayer777]

[@vickeyshrestha2931]

To be realistic, that gen, PS3 lost when it comes to multiplatform games. Not just this game, mostly all multiplatform games, Xbox 360 had better and smoother experiences. Now to compare here, The Xbox 360 had sharper visual. Check at 1:20 and you will notice artifacts such has fan in windmill is missing on Ps3. Even PS3 is unlocked 60 fps, the framerate is very inconsistent. The 360 even though has 30 fps, its locked and gives you much more stable and smoother experience. Sony implemented the cell processors in their Ps3, which sounds superb but was equally difficult for devs to utilize its potential. Devs just thought its worthless to even try (unless its ps3 exclusives like Uncharted 2,3). 360’s hd dvd was what annoyed Rockstar during the development of gta 4 because of ps3 having much spacious Bluray. But that’s it. More devs were even annoyed by the ps3 cell processor architecture. I am a Pc gamer and I am not blindly supporting xbox here. It is what it is.

[@MoonSarito]

The PS3 version is the best because of the two versions it is the smoothest and the PS3 version can even hit 60fps at times. Less demanding stages like Cool Edge (Holoska Day) even manage to maintain a constant 50-60fps on the PS3 which is a much better and smoother experience than the 30fps on the Xbox 360 version. Unfortunately, more demanding stages can still drop to 20fps on the PS3, but the same can be said for the Xbox 360 version.
