I think this game was made with the old gen in mind and then, they enhanced it for the actual generation of consoles. I was expecting much worse, but the overall performance on the old gen is decent despite the screen tearing, the low resolution textures and the lighting. It is not a huge leap. In some parts, I prefer the color scheme on the PS3 but of course the performance is better on PS4, hands down.
It's an horror game. Horror games aren't meant to have amazing graphics they make the graphics and screen look a little older snd creepier. Graphics are still not that bad..
yeah.. you can totally tell thats the case especially when they are missing blood splatters and water ripples that are clearly present in the ps3 version.
it was made specifically for the last gen, they would have had to have started development at least 2 years before the next gen was even launched so PS4 & xbone were an after thought.
The game was made for the ps3 in mind.. But they remastered it on ps4 so fast.. While ac Valhalla on ps5 is not remastered they only enhance the settings to high and ultra but the code base of the game is the same.. Evil within on ps4 they enhance the engine graphics.. While ps5 ac Valhalla they didn't enhanced the engine, they only enhance the graphics settings... Evil within on ps4 is a truly remastered version of the game.. While ac Valhalla on ps5 is not considerd as remastered coming from the ps4..... The gap between ps3 to ps4 is way to large..
The textures and lighting look much better on PS4. Kinda crazy to see the difference but the PS3 version looks damn good too. They have very different atmosphere's with changes.
The Ps4 and other modern games and consoles almost killed gaming for me. Such a somewhat disappointing game generation. Might as well get a Ps5, though I will be skipping a console for the first time since Playstation 1 in 1996 T.T
Sweet PS3 version looks darker thus more like a horror game. Sometimes the lighting is way too bright on PS4 the atmosphere doesn't create a creepy atmosphere even though the lighting is beautiful
dsfGuest Well... what is that reasoning man? Other awesome games will come out on PS4... I can't wait to get mine someday, graphics are looking so great on some games.
The PS3 has a much darker atmosphere, which is perfect for the game of its genre. Both are great but I think the ps3 captures a much more horror feel with what I'm seeing here.
Lol if you want a darker atmosphere then just turn the contrast down. The next gen versions look way better wen u play them on a nice tv. TH-cam will never be a good way to fully compare graphics. The PS3 can't compete with the ps4
I don't play games for their look nor do I care about what system beats which, because neither of em beats the PS2 my friend lol. I have both versions and the PS3 version feels just right in tone but thats just me.
They had to make some serious cut on the ps3 version to make it ru on the system, but they made those cut in a so clever way that it somehow gave the ps3 version a more creepier atmosphere. Yes it look a little rough with some of the textures, but it looks good enough to not bother me buying this game on the ps3 before I get a ps4. Also, it is really nice to see some big budget titles like this one running so well on 7 and 8 years old hardwares so well.
I think it's more to do with this game starting out in development for last-gen hardware. The lighting seems a bit superior on PS3; everything seems a little too clean on current-gen.
It looks like the devs were smart and actually designed the PS3 versions differently, rather than just running the same game at a low resolution with decreased detail. Some of the textures and models are even completely different. I actually prefer the color palette in the PS3 version because it looks grittier and has less of a yellow tint.
This game is such a weird anomaly, where the last gen version actually has a number of spots that outshine the next gen versions. Character models, while not as high res sport little additional details like more gore on the Sadist's shirt; water is more realistic; and I see lots of different assets and textures used, they're not just downscaled. Just look at shadows, even the lighting between versions differs. And I, for one, enjoy the absence of all the bloom effects and the yellowish green filter from the 360/PS3 version. I didn't think they served to make the Next Gen versions look any better or more impressive
Lighting and textures look so much better on PS4, they almost seem like different games. Some assets are completely replaced or removed like the bloodstains and the plant at the entrance hallway. All in all PS3 holds up well but the difference is quite noticable. Thanks for the video, much appreciated :D
"look like different games" you strecthing it, there's a difference in lighting and resolution, but I thought it would be a lot worse, and the game runs fine on last gen, I preffer the 360/P33 textures, but hell of course PS4 runs better.
Josué TDS what the shadow of the door that is cast by the light above in the ps3 version that isn't there in the ps4 version? at 4:18 ?or are you talking about when his partner walks ahead in the room and his next to nothing blurry shadow is cast on the ground below him at 4:24 and up? the lighting and shadow effects in this game on ps4 blow the ps3 away!!! having played both and know the differences! trust me man! i like holding onto the fact of saying that last gen is good enough and hey!..... it still does hold it's own! but it is in no way better graphically or lighting wise than ps4! lol your kidding yourself otherwise...
After a week of thought, I bought the game for PS4 and gotta say, this comparison is pretty accurate. What bothers me about the PS4 release is that the graphics are way too f*cking bright - and no, this has nothing to do with contrast but with how the lighting is being handled in this iteration of the game. The guys at Tango Gameworks went totally overboard with effects like blooming and specular highlights, damaging the overall atmosphere. Also, some of the PS4's effects look ridiculous, like the wetness of Sebastian's coat reflecting light like it's not actual wetness, but ice. It seems to me the devs wanted to show off what they can do with id Tech 5, even though some of the graphical effects make no sense in the context of the game. Just because those effects are a default part of the engine does not mean you absolutely have to include them. The PS3 version is a bleaker, grittier experience despite its technical issues (like an even worse frame rate than the PS4 at times). Oh, and for the outraged fanboys: I'm not "defending" last gen here, I'm making a point. The PS4 version is fine and beats the sh*t out of PS3 in terms of sharpness, resolution and performance, but I just can't get behind the overuse of lighting effects, they just eat away at the atmosphere - which is why I'm gonna rebuy the game on PS3.
the ps3 version really holds up well against the ps4 version. thanks for making this comparison, it feels like no one else wanted to compare these two. i'd love to see a comparison between the ps3 version of alien isolation and its ps4 counter part.
I own both a ps3 and ps4, and i'm actually considering getting this on ps3. It reminds me more of the classical horror games i loved like silent hill or resident evil. The atmosphere is just differend, like darker, deeper, creepier, misty. In contrary to the ps4 version, where the edges appear too sharp and its overall brighter and its got a sort of more polished look to it. And also the characters look like dolls on the ps4, other than the ps3, where they look more alive. Oh yeah the 30fps make sense to me, though the horror genre is the only genre to justify 30fps nowadays.
@@youwatch2muchtv 1 year old Comment. I Don't really care about 30fps. It looks good enough for me On My Ps3 And It usually just framedrop upto 26 For a second then went back again.. 60 FPS sounds good though
@@iSeeCorpses And it doesn’t look good enough for me and it didnt even back when it came out on ps4. I feel the same way about the evil within 2 as that could have looked way better, But w.e. After playing on ps5, Ill stick with 60fps, 120fps even.
This is the only game I can think of where it looks 100% better aesthetically on 360/PS3 compared to PS4/XBO. The water animation, the fire effects, the swaying grass, even the flatter lighting casts bigger shadows and means less of that annoying lens flare. Hell, this entire sequence looks better. 7:03
After a full playthrough on ps3 all I can say is that I'm impressed with how well it all played. The framerate hovered between 30 and cinematic and only once dropped below 20. The resolution is okay. (I think it was 720p.) Overall if you guys are looking to play on ps3 I can safely say you'll enjoy the performance part of it all.
Obviously the PS4 version looks better, but I don't like the yellowish tinge... maybe that's how they designed it? But compared to the PS3 version it looks really off, and like there's something wrong with the TV settings that the PS4 was played on.
Is it weird that I prefer the look of the PS3 version? I played this years ago on PC when it came out but looking at this makes me want to dig out my PS3. Yes, overall it's lower quality but all the lower quality assets fit together nicely with the lighting and color palette and makes for a really great atmosphere. Although the differences in color could just be due to different capturing hardware/software. But looking at this really feels like this game was pirmarily made for PS3/360 and then just updated some of the textures and lighting effects for the next-gen versions, but kind of lost some of it's inital art direction in the process.
The atmosphere is gone. This game was in development for the previous gen, on conversion the original vision is lost. It's like getting a Stanly Kubrick film giving it the HD treatment changing artifacts and the lighting ruins the original concept and vision the original creators intended. Extra care needs to be taken when remastering any horror peice of art.
I get the impression the PS4 version is just a port and the game was made with PS3 in mind. PS4 looks crisper but the mood in PS3 suits the game a lot better.
After watching this video I've decided to buy this game for my PS3 because it's obvious that The Evil Within wasn't meant to be a next-gen game. They delayed the PS3/Xbox360 releases just because they wanted some time to prepare the game for the new consoles, otherwise they would be forced to call the game for the PS4/Xbone "The Evil Within Remastered" and this would have a negative impact to both Sony and Microsoft.
Some scene looks more natural on PS3, like this face 1:28. This game was clearly made for Ps3, then ported and remasted for ps4, here the blood is even missing 5:35
The gap between ps3 to ps4 crossgen games is big in terms of visual... While ps4 pro vs ps5 cross gen games in terms of graphics visual is not that large.. Evil within is almost like a remastered version on ps4 the gap is big.. While ac Valhalla on ps5 looks like a port version of the ps4 with high to ultra settings, no visual enhancement on original code game
Yeah the ps3 version just looks darker than the ps4 version, that's basically it IMO. Yeah the graphics are a little sharper on ps4 but in some places that doesn't look right if you know what I mean.
Overall cleaner and sharper on PS4. But PS3 no slouch either, at certain parts it actually looks better and more cinematic. Thanks for the video, exactly what I wanted to see. PS4 noticeable improvement but not $400 better for me. I can hold off for now and buy at a later date.
Well done video comparison! On PS4 the textures are definitely better, but it also had a weirder look. Some surfaces looked too bright, like a lamp was being shined on them just to show off the textures. Was this a PS3 game upscaled to PS4, or a PS4 game dumbed down for PS3?
While The Evil Within's artistry is outstanding throughout the game, many of its PS4 textures up close disappointingly resemble a PS3 version; lower resolution and muddy compared to, for example, many of the high res textures upgraded in Tomb Raider on PS4 (versus its PS3 version). Even so, awesome horror game.
Having completed the game I can't agree that the PS3 version is more atmospheric because it's darker. TEW isn't the kind of game that is better dark/gritty, it's the kind of game where contrast between darks/lights matter more. Toggling your latern to manage visibility/being seen is a big part of the game, along with the visual contrast between the two lighting settings. Where the lighting is stronger in the PS4 version are also the points in the game where darkness by contrast doesn't matter (canned chase sequences for example). Keep in mind that the PS4 version has better colour gradient/shadow detail as well. Now THAT is a big part of the game.
All in all the PS3 version has a "less is more" philosophy, crushing the shadows, nailing ambient occlusion and deleting many light sources. It looks great, but I'm sure gameplay must get very clunky with reduced lighting
Great comparison video. Makes me a little sad I can't afford the PS4, but it's reassuring that it doesn't look like total crap on PS3. Some textures are nice, but overall we all know it's the gameplay and story that really matter. The Last Of Us being a perfect example that the PS3 can still deliver amazing looks along with a gruesome and terrifying atmosphere.
ahhaha we are on the same page my friend i got this game on my ps3 today i was crazy but i really want my ps4 and the game it doesn´t look in the ps3 version
Derpurs Machinest That is not true and I own both PS3 and PS4. The PS4 version does look better obviously but it still looks amazing on PS3 so much so that I didn't buy the PS4 version as it just wasn't worth it. I think it's great that the PS3 can still turn out great looking games even if not quite as good as the next gen.
mark199 ok maybe it doesn't look awful but there is a definite difference in frame rate and visuals. either way why would you buy it on the ps3 when you have a ps4? its the same price and it looks better on ps4. I'm not knocking the ps3, i love it. some of my favorite games are on that console
i first played this on ps3.. loved the game and eventually got the ps4 version.. ps3 had a softer image but i was able to play it full screen with a consistent framerate.. when i played the ps4 version it had a sharper image and some better textures but the framerate was horrible full screen.. had to enable the black bars to get it to be consistent.. i won't say one version is better than the other.. i mean i guess technically you could say ps4 version wins with some better effects, but the ps3 version almost feels more gritty with its appearance... i wouldn't mind a ps5 remastered version.. fix the pop in, have consistently high framerate and resolution, and no loading.. this is one of my all time favorite games.. the gameplay was second to none
Actually the game was made with PS4 in mind first, not the other way around. And because they made a decision to release the game on the old consoles, they went into serious trouble with performance issues and final polish. They had to redo the whole assets, lightning and mood on the PS3 which required double the amount of work. PS4/X1/PC has tessellation, screen space reflections, superior geometry and textures, bigger draw distance, SSAO, SMAA, Shadows and better performance. It was done on a heavily modified ID Tech 5 that supported dynamic lightning. If they didn't focus on the last gen consoles, the final work wouldn't be so sloppy and hasty. The game had some serious problem at launch which was fixed with a day 1 patch, and later on with a patch that removed the framerate cap and black bars. But because of this, the game was received poorly, even tho the game is one of the finest survival horror games. And while the plot might be a bit confusing, the game wouldn't work without it, you couldn't produce such nightmarish hellscapes and creatures because of some "experiments" or "viruses". It was like a blend of RE4, Silent Hill and REmake 1 (Burning Matches) without any heavy puzzle solving. The game also had a really solid cast of voice actors which sadly didn't return to TEW2. The only thing that looks a bit better in the PS3 version is the water effect and the fake lightning from the chainsaw run shaft, and maybe the blood on the floor when you wake up, but that's up to debate. The PS4 has a stronger colour and contrast, making it far darker than the PS3 counterpart. They should have really ditched the last gen consoles (sorry), the game would perform much better and be received a lot better if they did that. This was like making two games at once, and neither turned out to be perfect until they patched it (Unpatched PS4 runs at 20 frames and even lower). At least i played it on PC which had all the benefits from the current gen consoles. I know this is an old video, but i wanted to share some light into it.
Considering PS4 dev kits shipped out in late 2012, the game started development in 2010 and it released in 2014, I have to imagine the game was made with the PS3 gen in mind first.
Very helpful video! Remember director Shinji Mikami was pissed when RE4 was ported to PS2 and "watered down" from Gamecube. PS2 was still great fun and that's how I played it but now that I have bought the PS3 version of Evil Within (because I couldn't wait to play it) I now feel I have to trade it in. The game was meant to be played on next gen. No doubt story and gameplay are most important but the way Shinji Mikami intended gamers to experience the journey and his directorial vision is on next gen with better lighting, textures, shadow detail, movement, etc. He may not have even wanted the game to be ported to PS3 and 360 but it probably wasn't his choice. I'm just going to be patient and wait to buy the PS4 in the next year then play the game. No more ports.
I've just bought the PS3 version (and yes I also have a ps4) and I must say the graphics are great, the screen tearing is minimal and affects the cut scenes more than the actual game. The fact that I got it from eBay for only £6.00 is even better.
+benbmw1980 I also bought it on PS3 for like $20 as I couldn't find it cheaper elsewhere. But seriously TH-cam videos really hide so many details that you won't notice until you play the game for yourself. There are just SO many extremely blurry textures that look like its being rendered at less that 144p that it gives me the impression that I'm playing a PS Vita game. Great atmosphere as a whole but the engine is trash...The PS4 version looks like what the PS3 version is supposed to look like.
For me the ps4 is better when it comes to the character models and the frame rate. However, I still think the ps3 version looks better but the screen tearing is annoying. They're like different videogames in a sense, just like Tomb Raider Underworld for ps2 was to the ps3\xbox 360 version. The ps2 version of Underworld was awful, it is hard to believe it was made after TR Anniversary. At least The Evil Within has some good enviroment differences between both versions. I like the blood and objects, and the lightning in the ps3 version, like I said, I just hate the models and the screen tearing, totally remind me of "The Killer is Dead" frame rate.
As long as games continue to come out for the PS3 I can not see upgrading anytime soon. Personally as a grown man with a job and a family my gaming time is limited, so the PS3 satisfies what ever gaming time I can scrounge together. Right now I am playing RAGE again and I am loving it. That game looked so good I am still impressed with the character models in that game, sadly the wasteland was under whelming but no matter Fallout New Vegas is satisfying that itch, oh and lets not forget Skyrim. Never been a graphics nut so what the PS3 pushes out is more than enough for me, but one thing I truly look forward to when I finally do upgrade is the jump in frame rates, although we have seen so called next gen games suffer in that area as well, Assassins Unity is getting raked through the coals for being sold in the state that it is currently in, and that was designed specifically for the next gen Consoles.
The game may be the same but there many things like shrubs, trees, and the such that are totally different in both. Watch the clips slow and play I spy comparison and you will see exactly what I'm talking about.
I have PS3 port and it was the worst one there was screen tearing everywhere, framerate drops, late graphics loads, texture glitches it was so bad than a low setting graphics on pc only the fact that they only made the game playable on the ps3. Ps4 version is way way better looks so cool and clean its sad that they resolved the issues only on ps4 and xbox one.
Feel like looking at the left side that they have a LOT more experience with the older console and it shows in the colours, though the sharpness and textures on the ps4 pop out a lot more because of it's power and resolution. Both are impressive! :-)
From what I've seen, there are only a few aspects where the PS4 version is better. His coat in the PS4 version is more detailed, and the door at 4:07-4:10 is more detailed in the PS4 version. However, if you look at the brick wall at 3:47, it's much more realistic looking in the PS3 version, and the protagonist has much better shadowing on his face and the coat in the PS3 version. Overall, I think they both look good, but I actually think the PS3 version wins because of its better shadowing effects. I saw the same thing in Watch Dogs. It seems that the PS4 makes the games too bright for some reason.
You nailed it man. They stone wall like a more realistic design on the ps3 but yeah, there are so many things that are different really. Almost like two different studios built them with different ideas on the environment and details.
Yeah, it does seem that way. I feel that games look so much better with good shadowing effects, and it really needs to be emphasized in survival horror games. I remember in Watch Dogs, I was seeing way too much of Aiden's face compared to the excellent shadowing that was in the PS3 version. I think that these development teams just don't know the new hard ware that well yet, but with a couple more years into the PS4 lifespan, they will be able to manipulate the graphical details much better.
I am happy I bought this on PC as I couldn't get into the game with 31% of the screen missing like that, it's a horrible compromise just to unburden the GPU a little. I hope no other developer decides to go down this route as it would be better just to scale the image to 1080p or just dial down some of the settings.
***** So wait a minute, you accuse ME of being a troll when you stalk my youtube page firing off 100's of posts to every single comment I have made on this site in the last month or so?. Who are you to decide people are trolling when they give their subjective opinion?. According to you me checking out how Evil Within runs on console and being thankful that I got it for PC due to 31% of the screen missing is being a troll?. That isn't trolling, that's having an opinion that you may not appreciate. It's STILL an opinion. I honestly don't understand how people can accuse others of trolling when all they are doing is talking games?. I can link very specific examples of what I class as "trolling" and those comments look nothing like mine.
i like better the look of the ps3 version,when the guy is running down the hall the floor looks like destroyed and bloody while the ps4 looks too detailed and not really horrific,don't know maybe is just me but i like the ps3 version better.
Ghost12345678900 yeah me too,although i have a ps4.Actually i have been thinking about selling my ps4 and just keeping the ps3,what do you think?,sorry i ask everyone.
Yordan Montero Dude are you on something? You do realize this is not a next gen game? Why are you being impatient? PS4 just came out last year and you want the developers to bring out all their games immediately without thorough improvement and made according to the PS4 engine?
Tom Red i don't want anything dude!!!,and don't do drugs or anything similar.The issue here is that as you said the ps4 came out last year,but sony is working so slow on the ps4,even the youtube app(which i use a lot on the ps3)is still not available for the ps4,games are taking so long to release,and when they do is not really a big gap from the ps3,i understand what you said that these games are not next-gen but i don't know man.
Impresionante pero real, la PS3 aun compite con la nueva generacion y en momentos gana, me gusto mucho el detalle de introducir mas sangre en ps3 es fantastico.
If you haven't already guessed by now, they make these graphical differences purposely. Maybe purposely isn't the right word but they certainly put the most effort into the next gen version, thus paying less attention to the previous gen. We all know the PS3 and 360 hardware are more than capable of rendering maps, textures and overall graphics way better than this. See GTAV for example. Watch Dogs, Thief and this game have all done the same thing. Can't blame the developers though. At least they give people the opportunity to enjoy the games even on the older consoles (although they gain a lot more money as the new gen isn't that popular yet).
You totally nailed it. I thought it was just me thinking this. I get the impression that the graphics can look just as good on the ps3 but I get the impression they purposely dumb the graphics down. This new jump into next generation consoles seems inferior to past next generation console jumps. I remember when ps3 first came out and how much better it was to ps2. Not saying ps4 is bad. I do think it's great but the next generation jump just doesn't have the wow factor.
Well the ps3 an Xbox 360 are using 10 year old hardware therefore most games have to be downgraded to keep last gen in mind. Also the ps4 and Xbox one sales are around 48 million units combined so they are quite popular.
The Boss Stage1 Make sure to read my first comment properly, then reply. And by my last reply to you I mean, time has passed and people have bought more copies of course.
Ps3 was more atmospheric and they had a hard time capturing that for the ps4 and next gen consoles because the games development cycle as probably for the ps3 and 360.
The atmosphere is gone. This game was in development for the previous gen, on conversion the original vision is lost. It's like getting a Stanly Kubrick film giving it the HD treatment changing artifacts and the lighting ruins the original concept and vision the original creators intended. Extra care needs to be taken when remastering any horror peice of art.
It honestly looks pretty bad. Low-res textures, lack of effects, bad lighting, washed out look over the whole thing. It's like someone managed to import high-poly models into a game from 2004.
Everything looks better in the PS3 version in my opinion (except Sebastian's face). It has better lighting, more gritty textures, less glare, and the PS4 version has a weird green filter
I'll opt to get this game on Ps3. It looks a lot more darker than the current gen counter part. And overall the character models look more clayish with the lighter environment on the Ps4 than the Ps3 does.
Almost no difference between the two versions. PlayStation 3 version still looks fantastic. The PlayStation 4 version is obviously higher resolution in some scenes, in others it's not so noticeable. A few scenes also contained environments that were slightly more detailed on the PlayStation 4 version, but again nothing major. I was on the fence about getting this game, but after seeing this video, it looks really good, and I'm going to go for the PlayStation 3 version. A slightly higher resolution and the odd scene with a marginally more detailed enviornment is just not a big enough incentive for me to choose the next-gen. version of the game.
O PS4 só ganha em algumas texturas em cutscenes principalmente no começo do jogo ae, depois de começar a Gameplay em muitos momentos o PS3 simplesmente humilhou reparem bem em 5:52 adiante no PS3 tem bem mais sangue no maluco da máscara e no PS4 está bem mais amarelado, que remaster porco hein
Let's get one thing straight. This isn't a fair comparison because it's 100% obvious that the video is doctored. Sure the textures and sharpness are better on the PS4, but it's no where near as bright and faded on the PS3 as this video would make you believe. You can tell it's doctored because of the varying levels of brightness on the PS3 side. It changes at 3:03 and then even brighter at 4:38.
This ran really badly on my ps3. Bad textures, and felt kind of glitchy too. Not sure if it's better on ps4, but it's not great considering it's a 2014 game.
I love how the characters are in ps4 but I don't like the unnecessarily excessive brightness in the ps4 version. In some aspects the ps4s graphics look more bloody and run down but so bright. Ugh. Still love this game though
Textures and lighting in the PS4 version are a million times better. And after watching this vid, the scenes where he's being chased by the chainsaw guy and running into the elevator! Look at that lighting on the Ps4!!! And this type of game needs those effects to be scary
I just got the ps3 version (I have the modded Steam Version as well) and the grittiness and poopy textures actually make it feel like another game tbh..not by a lot but much darker.
The ps4 version has more detail, is brighter, and has a yellowish filter. The ps3 version has more shadows, a more natural lighting, and more blood and gore on the floor. The ps4 version also seems to have a bit more draw distance, while the ps3 version has more detail in the pool of water. I have the ps3 version. The ps4 has a massive 40gb install requirement, while the ps3 only requires a 7gb install. I have both a ps3 and ps4, so I'm not a ps3 biast. So take your pick. :)
+Gardevoir Trainer The PS4 version seems obsessed with detail. It's nice to see the PS3 version to hold this well. Seems like graphics are becoming more than a question of definition and polygon count. Also the PS3 version has frequent screen tearing and pop-in, and sometimes stutters in the framerate. I have also the PS3 version.
Lol looking at it again, the PS4 is beautiful when comes to detail and the PS3 looks a bit more grim. They're both good, I love this game a bit too much and would be insane to buy a PS4 copy as well.
Don't think it would matter....the ps4 and xbox one can't even maintain a steady 30fps and the game isn't even running in 1080p on either system on top of it.
Games coming out right now are still designed for Ps3 and 360. Around Next year you will start to see games that are exclusive to next gen and it will be leaps better.
Exactly the kind of music that goes with this game
xddd
I think this game was made with the old gen in mind and then, they enhanced it for the actual generation of consoles. I was expecting much worse, but the overall performance on the old gen is decent despite the screen tearing, the low resolution textures and the lighting. It is not a huge leap. In some parts, I prefer the color scheme on the PS3 but of course the performance is better on PS4, hands down.
It's an horror game. Horror games aren't meant to have amazing graphics they make the graphics and screen look a little older snd creepier. Graphics are still not that bad..
Agree with you in absolutely everything.
yeah.. you can totally tell thats the case especially when they are missing blood splatters and water ripples that are clearly present in the ps3 version.
it was made specifically for the last gen, they would have had to have started development at least 2 years before the next gen was even launched so PS4 & xbone were an after thought.
The game was made for the ps3 in mind.. But they remastered it on ps4 so fast.. While ac Valhalla on ps5 is not remastered they only enhance the settings to high and ultra but the code base of the game is the same.. Evil within on ps4 they enhance the engine graphics.. While ps5 ac Valhalla they didn't enhanced the engine, they only enhance the graphics settings... Evil within on ps4 is a truly remastered version of the game.. While ac Valhalla on ps5 is not considerd as remastered coming from the ps4..... The gap between ps3 to ps4 is way to large..
So brutally different. Besides this PS4 gives you a feeling of ''Follow where the light leads you''.
The textures and lighting look much better on PS4. Kinda crazy to see the difference but the PS3 version looks damn good too. They have very different atmosphere's with changes.
its 2025 and i am enjoying this game in my ps3 for the first time. Really appreciated ✌✌
Im still happy with my ps3 . Really. Ill get ps4 when it down to 300
What about now? 5 years later..

@@HamZa-lp9pt cant wait for PS5
The Ps4 and other modern games and consoles almost killed gaming for me. Such a somewhat disappointing game generation. Might as well get a Ps5, though I will be skipping a console for the first time since Playstation 1 in 1996 T.T

Sweet PS3 version looks darker thus more like a horror game. Sometimes the lighting is way too bright on PS4 the atmosphere doesn't create a creepy atmosphere even though the lighting is beautiful
yeah i know right. Damn i shouldnt bought ps4.
dsfGuest Well... what is that reasoning man? Other awesome games will come out on PS4... I can't wait to get mine someday, graphics are looking so great on some games.
@@dsfGuest you should buy a ps5 in the current year 😂
@@philippebeauchamp2827 Bro, you better buy a PS5
The PS3 has a much darker atmosphere, which is perfect for the game of its genre. Both are great but I think the ps3 captures a much more horror feel with what I'm seeing here.
I agree, It looks a lot like saw 1.
Me too it looks great on ps3
Just played it and you're very right dude! Still good on Ps3 :D
Lol if you want a darker atmosphere then just turn the contrast down. The next gen versions look way better wen u play them on a nice tv. TH-cam will never be a good way to fully compare graphics. The PS3 can't compete with the ps4
I don't play games for their look nor do I care about what system beats which, because neither of em beats the PS2 my friend lol. I have both versions and the PS3 version feels just right in tone but thats just me.
They had to make some serious cut on the ps3 version to make it ru on the system, but they made those cut in a so clever way that it somehow gave the ps3 version a more creepier atmosphere. Yes it look a little rough with some of the textures, but it looks good enough to not bother me buying this game on the ps3 before I get a ps4. Also, it is really nice to see some big budget titles like this one running so well on 7 and 8 years old hardwares so well.
@7:40 strangely the water looks much better on the PS3.
You write
@@DIMA-fy8pc you nepravilno napisal
I think it's more to do with this game starting out in development for last-gen hardware. The lighting seems a bit superior on PS3; everything seems a little too clean on current-gen.
@@DIMA-fy8pc so do you.
It looks like the devs were smart and actually designed the PS3 versions differently, rather than just running the same game at a low resolution with decreased detail. Some of the textures and models are even completely different. I actually prefer the color palette in the PS3 version because it looks grittier and has less of a yellow tint.
What i like about this game is that it looks like if it was created for the Ps3 and 360 in mind. It looks gorgeous on last gen consoles.
Thank you for posting this! Glad to see the PS3 version isn't half bad!
This game is such a weird anomaly, where the last gen version actually has a number of spots that outshine the next gen versions. Character models, while not as high res sport little additional details like more gore on the Sadist's shirt; water is more realistic; and I see lots of different assets and textures used, they're not just downscaled. Just look at shadows, even the lighting between versions differs.
And I, for one, enjoy the absence of all the bloom effects and the yellowish green filter from the 360/PS3 version. I didn't think they served to make the Next Gen versions look any better or more impressive
Did you notice the plant/tree at the lobby of the hospital is totally different from the PS3 version? They changed the tree :-D
5:32 hmm.
Lighting and textures look so much better on PS4, they almost seem like different games. Some assets are completely replaced or removed like the bloodstains and the plant at the entrance hallway. All in all PS3 holds up well but the difference is quite noticable. Thanks for the video, much appreciated :D
At least the shadows on beginning look better on ps3 anyways it look decent for 8 years old hardware
"look like different games" you strecthing it, there's a difference in lighting and resolution, but I thought it would be a lot worse, and the game runs fine on last gen, I preffer the 360/P33 textures, but hell of course PS4 runs better.
shadows in 2:03, 2:12 and 4:18 ps3 version looks better.
Like the color scheme of last gen
Josué TDS what the shadow of the door that is cast by the light above in the ps3 version that isn't there in the ps4 version? at 4:18 ?or are you talking about when his partner walks ahead in the room and his next to nothing blurry shadow is cast on the ground below him at 4:24 and up? the lighting and shadow effects in this game on ps4 blow the ps3 away!!! having played both and know the differences! trust me man! i like holding onto the fact of saying that last gen is good enough and hey!..... it still does hold it's own! but it is in no way better graphically or lighting wise than ps4! lol your kidding yourself otherwise...
After a week of thought, I bought the game for PS4 and gotta say, this comparison is pretty accurate. What bothers me about the PS4 release is that the graphics are way too f*cking bright - and no, this has nothing to do with contrast but with how the lighting is being handled in this iteration of the game. The guys at Tango Gameworks went totally overboard with effects like blooming and specular highlights, damaging the overall atmosphere. Also, some of the PS4's effects look ridiculous, like the wetness of Sebastian's coat reflecting light like it's not actual wetness, but ice. It seems to me the devs wanted to show off what they can do with id Tech 5, even though some of the graphical effects make no sense in the context of the game. Just because those effects are a default part of the engine does not mean you absolutely have to include them. The PS3 version is a bleaker, grittier experience despite its technical issues (like an even worse frame rate than the PS4 at times).
Oh, and for the outraged fanboys: I'm not "defending" last gen here, I'm making a point. The PS4 version is fine and beats the sh*t out of PS3 in terms of sharpness, resolution and performance, but I just can't get behind the overuse of lighting effects, they just eat away at the atmosphere - which is why I'm gonna rebuy the game on PS3.
the ps3 version really holds up well against the ps4 version. thanks for making this comparison, it feels like no one else wanted to compare these two. i'd love to see a comparison between the ps3 version of alien isolation and its ps4 counter part.
Man I haven’t heard this song in years it takes me back
I own both a ps3 and ps4, and i'm actually considering getting this on ps3. It reminds me more of the classical horror games i loved like silent hill or resident evil. The atmosphere is just differend, like darker, deeper, creepier, misty. In contrary to the ps4 version, where the edges appear too sharp and its overall brighter and its got a sort of more polished look to it. And also the characters look like dolls on the ps4, other than the ps3, where they look more alive.
Oh yeah the 30fps make sense to me, though the horror genre is the only genre to justify 30fps nowadays.
Fwuffycodbunny 3 year old comment but I bet you’re singing a different tune now. Lol
@@youwatch2muchtv 1 year old Comment. I Don't really care about 30fps. It looks good enough for me On My Ps3 And It usually just framedrop upto 26 For a second then went back again.. 60 FPS sounds good though
@@youwatch2muchtv I'm fine with 30fps. But of course 60fps is better
@@iSeeCorpses And it doesn’t look good enough for me and it didnt even back when it came out on ps4. I feel the same way about the evil within 2 as that could have looked way better, But w.e. After playing on ps5, Ill stick with 60fps, 120fps even.
This is the only game I can think of where it looks 100% better aesthetically on 360/PS3 compared to PS4/XBO.
The water animation, the fire effects, the swaying grass, even the flatter lighting casts bigger shadows and means less of that annoying lens flare.
Hell, this entire sequence looks better. 7:03
After a full playthrough on ps3 all I can say is that I'm impressed with how well it all played. The framerate hovered between 30 and cinematic and only once dropped below 20. The resolution is okay. (I think it was 720p.)
Overall if you guys are looking to play on ps3 I can safely say you'll enjoy the performance part of it all.
Anybody know the music? I like it, good to see this video again.
PS3 - Darker darks
PS4 - Clearer
Considering this is a horror game you want the darks.
More importantly how chilled out is that music?
Obviously the PS4 version looks better, but I don't like the yellowish tinge... maybe that's how they designed it? But compared to the PS3 version it looks really off, and like there's something wrong with the TV settings that the PS4 was played on.
The ps3 version has a kind of "found footage" look, like the Blair Witch Project.
Is it weird that I prefer the look of the PS3 version?
I played this years ago on PC when it came out but looking at this makes me want to dig out my PS3. Yes, overall it's lower quality but all the lower quality assets fit together nicely with the lighting and color palette and makes for a really great atmosphere. Although the differences in color could just be due to different capturing hardware/software. But looking at this really feels like this game was pirmarily made for PS3/360 and then just updated some of the textures and lighting effects for the next-gen versions, but kind of lost some of it's inital art direction in the process.
The game looks pretty good on the ps3, considering ps3 only has 32 shader cores, and the ps4 has 1152 shader cores, which is alot more then ps3.
The atmosphere is gone. This game was in development for the previous gen, on conversion the original vision is lost.
It's like getting a Stanly Kubrick film giving it the HD treatment changing artifacts and the lighting ruins the original concept and vision the original creators intended.
Extra care needs to be taken when remastering any horror peice of art.
Well done, thanks for the Video. I think the PS3 Version looks great for its age.
I get the impression the PS4 version is just a port and the game was made with PS3 in mind. PS4 looks crisper but the mood in PS3 suits the game a lot better.
Thats how cross gen games are
Thanks for the upload. This is what I needed to see.
After watching this video I've decided to buy this game for my PS3 because it's obvious that The Evil Within wasn't meant to be a next-gen game.
They delayed the PS3/Xbox360 releases just because they wanted some time to prepare the game for the new consoles, otherwise they would be forced to call the game for the PS4/Xbone "The Evil Within Remastered" and this would have a negative impact to both Sony and Microsoft.
Some scene looks more natural on PS3, like this face 1:28. This game was clearly made for Ps3, then ported and remasted for ps4, here the blood is even missing 5:35
The gap between ps3 to ps4 crossgen games is big in terms of visual... While ps4 pro vs ps5 cross gen games in terms of graphics visual is not that large.. Evil within is almost like a remastered version on ps4 the gap is big.. While ac Valhalla on ps5 looks like a port version of the ps4 with high to ultra settings, no visual enhancement on original code game
Noice 😐
Yeah the ps3 version just looks darker than the ps4 version, that's basically it IMO. Yeah the graphics are a little sharper on ps4 but in some places that doesn't look right if you know what I mean.
Overall cleaner and sharper on PS4. But PS3 no slouch either, at certain parts it actually looks better and more cinematic. Thanks for the video, exactly what I wanted to see. PS4 noticeable improvement but not $400 better for me. I can hold off for now and buy at a later date.
7:50 Wtf??! The next gen...
The game it self is not even considered as next generation.. What you see here is a remasterd version of the game base on ps3 original source
Well done video comparison!
On PS4 the textures are definitely better, but it also had a weirder look. Some surfaces looked too bright, like a lamp was being shined on them just to show off the textures.
Was this a PS3 game upscaled to PS4, or a PS4 game dumbed down for PS3?
While The Evil Within's artistry is outstanding throughout the game, many of its PS4 textures up close disappointingly resemble a PS3 version; lower resolution and muddy compared to, for example, many of the high res textures upgraded in Tomb Raider on PS4 (versus its PS3 version). Even so, awesome horror game.
So much better on PS3, damn
Having completed the game I can't agree that the PS3 version is more atmospheric because it's darker. TEW isn't the kind of game that is better dark/gritty, it's the kind of game where contrast between darks/lights matter more. Toggling your latern to manage visibility/being seen is a big part of the game, along with the visual contrast between the two lighting settings. Where the lighting is stronger in the PS4 version are also the points in the game where darkness by contrast doesn't matter (canned chase sequences for example).
Keep in mind that the PS4 version has better colour gradient/shadow detail as well. Now THAT is a big part of the game.
Wow, diminishing return hit hard this console generation... Thnx for posting DudeRandom84!
All in all the PS3 version has a "less is more" philosophy, crushing the shadows, nailing ambient occlusion and deleting many light sources. It looks great, but I'm sure gameplay must get very clunky with reduced lighting
Great comparison video. Makes me a little sad I can't afford the PS4, but it's reassuring that it doesn't look like total crap on PS3. Some textures are nice, but overall we all know it's the gameplay and story that really matter. The Last Of Us being a perfect example that the PS3 can still deliver amazing looks along with a gruesome and terrifying atmosphere.
have you seen the last of us on ps4? makes the ps3 version look awful hahaha and it's probably the best visuals you get on a ps3.
ahhaha we are on the same page my friend i got this game on my ps3 today i was crazy but i really want my ps4 and the game it doesn´t look in the ps3 version
Derpurs Machinest That is not true and I own both PS3 and PS4. The PS4 version does look better obviously but it still looks amazing on PS3 so much so that I didn't buy the PS4 version as it just wasn't worth it. I think it's great that the PS3 can still turn out great looking games even if not quite as good as the next gen.
mark199 ok maybe it doesn't look awful but there is a definite difference in frame rate and visuals. either way why would you buy it on the ps3 when you have a ps4? its the same price and it looks better on ps4. I'm not knocking the ps3, i love it. some of my favorite games are on that console
Derpurs Machinest I already had it on PS3 since the games original launch day.
i first played this on ps3.. loved the game and eventually got the ps4 version.. ps3 had a softer image but i was able to play it full screen with a consistent framerate.. when i played the ps4 version it had a sharper image and some better textures but the framerate was horrible full screen.. had to enable the black bars to get it to be consistent.. i won't say one version is better than the other.. i mean i guess technically you could say ps4 version wins with some better effects, but the ps3 version almost feels more gritty with its appearance... i wouldn't mind a ps5 remastered version.. fix the pop in, have consistently high framerate and resolution, and no loading.. this is one of my all time favorite games.. the gameplay was second to none
Basically, it looks like the PS4 is more colorful, has more contrast, and its more flashy with its effects and lighting.
It is just like just cause 2 on ps2 and xbox 360... Who remembers that huge difference ?
Ofcourse the PS4 looks better, but I like the bluish / cold look of the ps3. Plus, check out 7:48, the water actually looks better on ps3 :o
Actually the game was made with PS4 in mind first, not the other way around. And because they made a decision to release the game on the old consoles, they went into serious trouble with performance issues and final polish. They had to redo the whole assets, lightning and mood on the PS3 which required double the amount of work. PS4/X1/PC has tessellation, screen space reflections, superior geometry and textures, bigger draw distance, SSAO, SMAA, Shadows and better performance. It was done on a heavily modified ID Tech 5 that supported dynamic lightning. If they didn't focus on the last gen consoles, the final work wouldn't be so sloppy and hasty. The game had some serious problem at launch which was fixed with a day 1 patch, and later on with a patch that removed the framerate cap and black bars. But because of this, the game was received poorly, even tho the game is one of the finest survival horror games. And while the plot might be a bit confusing, the game wouldn't work without it, you couldn't produce such nightmarish hellscapes and creatures because of some "experiments" or "viruses". It was like a blend of RE4, Silent Hill and REmake 1 (Burning Matches) without any heavy puzzle solving. The game also had a really solid cast of voice actors which sadly didn't return to TEW2. The only thing that looks a bit better in the PS3 version is the water effect and the fake lightning from the chainsaw run shaft, and maybe the blood on the floor when you wake up, but that's up to debate. The PS4 has a stronger colour and contrast, making it far darker than the PS3 counterpart.
They should have really ditched the last gen consoles (sorry), the game would perform much better and be received a lot better if they did that. This was like making two games at once, and neither turned out to be perfect until they patched it (Unpatched PS4 runs at 20 frames and even lower). At least i played it on PC which had all the benefits from the current gen consoles. I know this is an old video, but i wanted to share some light into it.
Considering PS4 dev kits shipped out in late 2012, the game started development in 2010 and it released in 2014, I have to imagine the game was made with the PS3 gen in mind first.
Like the music in this. Also, it seems like the ambiance through visuals is nicer in the PS3 version.
4:54 I think they confused the floor xD
Very helpful video! Remember director Shinji Mikami was pissed when RE4 was ported to PS2 and "watered down" from Gamecube. PS2 was still great fun and that's how I played it but now that I have bought the PS3 version of Evil Within (because I couldn't wait to play it) I now feel I have to trade it in. The game was meant to be played on next gen. No doubt story and gameplay are most important but the way Shinji Mikami intended gamers to experience the journey and his directorial vision is on next gen with better lighting, textures, shadow detail, movement, etc. He may not have even wanted the game to be ported to PS3 and 360 but it probably wasn't his choice. I'm just going to be patient and wait to buy the PS4 in the next year then play the game. No more ports.
I think its development started in the 7th generation then it was improved on ps4 and one
I've just bought the PS3 version (and yes I also have a ps4) and I must say the graphics are great, the screen tearing is minimal and affects the cut scenes more than the actual game. The fact that I got it from eBay for only £6.00 is even better.
+benbmw1980 I also bought it on PS3 for like $20 as I couldn't find it cheaper elsewhere. But seriously TH-cam videos really hide so many details that you won't notice until you play the game for yourself. There are just SO many extremely blurry textures that look like its being rendered at less that 144p that it gives me the impression that I'm playing a PS Vita game. Great atmosphere as a whole but the engine is trash...The PS4 version looks like what the PS3 version is supposed to look like.
For me the ps4 is better when it comes to the character models and the frame rate. However, I still think the ps3 version looks better but the screen tearing is annoying. They're like different videogames in a sense, just like Tomb Raider Underworld for ps2 was to the ps3\xbox 360 version. The ps2 version of Underworld was awful, it is hard to believe it was made after TR Anniversary. At least The Evil Within has some good enviroment differences between both versions. I like the blood and objects, and the lightning in the ps3 version, like I said, I just hate the models and the screen tearing, totally remind me of "The Killer is Dead" frame rate.
As long as games continue to come out for the PS3 I can not see upgrading anytime soon.
Personally as a grown man with a job and a family my gaming time is limited, so the PS3 satisfies what ever gaming time I can scrounge together. Right now I am playing RAGE again and I am loving it. That game looked so good I am still impressed with the character models in that game, sadly the wasteland was under whelming but no matter Fallout New Vegas is satisfying that itch, oh and lets not forget Skyrim.
Never been a graphics nut so what the PS3 pushes out is more than enough for me, but one thing I truly look forward to when I finally do upgrade is the jump in frame rates, although we have seen so called next gen games suffer in that area as well, Assassins Unity is getting raked through the coals for being sold in the state that it is currently in, and that was designed specifically for the next gen Consoles.
This game really surprised me graphic wise!!
Still looks good on PS3. Looks slightly nicer on PS4. Same game on both PS3 and PS4.
agree
The game may be the same but there many things like shrubs, trees, and the such that are totally different in both. Watch the clips slow and play I spy comparison and you will see exactly what I'm talking about.
And now on the PS5 it looks much better.
I have PS3 port and it was the worst one there was screen tearing everywhere, framerate drops, late graphics loads, texture glitches it was so bad than a low setting graphics on pc only the fact that they only made the game playable on the ps3. Ps4 version is way way better looks so cool and clean its sad that they resolved the issues only on ps4 and xbox one.
Feel like looking at the left side that they have a LOT more experience with the older console and it shows in the colours, though the sharpness and textures on the ps4 pop out a lot more because of it's power and resolution. Both are impressive! :-)
Whats the name of the song? Even tho its the same thing over and over, its still a wicked tune
Victor Alvarez Parasail - Silent Partner :)
Thanks homie
From what I've seen, there are only a few aspects where the PS4 version is better. His coat in the PS4 version is more detailed, and the door at 4:07-4:10 is more detailed in the PS4 version. However, if you look at the brick wall at 3:47, it's much more realistic looking in the PS3 version, and the protagonist has much better shadowing on his face and the coat in the PS3 version. Overall, I think they both look good, but I actually think the PS3 version wins because of its better shadowing effects. I saw the same thing in Watch Dogs. It seems that the PS4 makes the games too bright for some reason.
You nailed it man. They stone wall like a more realistic design on the ps3 but yeah, there are so many things that are different really. Almost like two different studios built them with different ideas on the environment and details.
Yeah, it does seem that way. I feel that games look so much better with good shadowing effects, and it really needs to be emphasized in survival horror games. I remember in Watch Dogs, I was seeing way too much of Aiden's face compared to the excellent shadowing that was in the PS3 version. I think that these development teams just don't know the new hard ware that well yet, but with a couple more years into the PS4 lifespan, they will be able to manipulate the graphical details much better.
I'd say the ps4 looks smoother the face models and cloths, the ps4 version is slightly brighter, the games to dark to care to care about shadows
I am happy I bought this on PC as I couldn't get into the game with 31% of the screen missing like that, it's a horrible compromise just to unburden the GPU a little. I hope no other developer decides to go down this route as it would be better just to scale the image to 1080p or just dial down some of the settings.
***** So wait a minute, you accuse ME of being a troll when you stalk my youtube page firing off 100's of posts to every single comment I have made on this site in the last month or so?.
Who are you to decide people are trolling when they give their subjective opinion?. According to you me checking out how Evil Within runs on console and being thankful that I got it for PC due to 31% of the screen missing is being a troll?. That isn't trolling, that's having an opinion that you may not appreciate. It's STILL an opinion.
I honestly don't understand how people can accuse others of trolling when all they are doing is talking games?.
I can link very specific examples of what I class as "trolling" and those comments look nothing like mine.
i like better the look of the ps3 version,when the guy is running down the hall the floor looks like destroyed and bloody while the ps4 looks too detailed and not really horrific,don't know maybe is just me but i like the ps3 version better.
i know what you mean man, im considering getting it on the ps3 now xD
Ghost12345678900 yeah me too,although i have a ps4.Actually i have been thinking about selling my ps4 and just keeping the ps3,what do you think?,sorry i ask everyone.
Yordan Montero
Dude are you on something? You do realize this is not a next gen game? Why are you being impatient? PS4 just came out last year and you want the developers to bring out all their games immediately without thorough improvement and made according to the PS4 engine?
Tom Red i don't want anything dude!!!,and don't do drugs or anything similar.The issue here is that as you said the ps4 came out last year,but sony is working so slow on the ps4,even the youtube app(which i use a lot on the ps3)is still not available for the ps4,games are taking so long to release,and when they do is not really a big gap from the ps3,i understand what you said that these games are not next-gen but i don't know man.
Not only Sony but most developers are coming up with games next year. So be patient dude
Holy shit, glad I got this for PS4. Thanks for the comparison vid! :)
Impresionante pero real, la PS3 aun compite con la nueva generacion y en momentos gana, me gusto mucho el detalle de introducir mas sangre en ps3 es fantastico.
If you haven't already guessed by now, they make these graphical differences purposely. Maybe purposely isn't the right word but they certainly put the most effort into the next gen version, thus paying less attention to the previous gen. We all know the PS3 and 360 hardware are more than capable of rendering maps, textures and overall graphics way better than this. See GTAV for example. Watch Dogs, Thief and this game have all done the same thing. Can't blame the developers though. At least they give people the opportunity to enjoy the games even on the older consoles (although they gain a lot more money as the new gen isn't that popular yet).
You totally nailed it. I thought it was just me thinking this. I get the impression that the graphics can look just as good on the ps3 but I get the impression they purposely dumb the graphics down.
This new jump into next generation consoles seems inferior to past next generation console jumps. I remember when ps3 first came out and how much better it was to ps2. Not saying ps4 is bad. I do think it's great but the next generation jump just doesn't have the wow factor.
Well the ps3 an Xbox 360 are using 10 year old hardware therefore most games have to be downgraded to keep last gen in mind. Also the ps4 and Xbox one sales are around 48 million units combined so they are quite popular.
The Boss Stage1 It's because my comment is 6 months old. Things change during that period of time.
***** pfff what sort of reply is that? The technology was still the same 6 months ago anyway
The Boss Stage1 Make sure to read my first comment properly, then reply. And by my last reply to you I mean, time has passed and people have bought more copies of course.
Ps3 was more atmospheric and they had a hard time capturing that for the ps4 and next gen consoles because the games development cycle as probably for the ps3 and 360.
The atmosphere is gone. This game was in development for the previous gen, on conversion the original vision is lost.
It's like getting a Stanly Kubrick film giving it the HD treatment changing artifacts and the lighting ruins the original concept and vision the original creators intended.
Extra care needs to be taken when remastering any horror peice of art.
Wow i thought PS4 will look incredible more detailed but PS3 looks good
TikiAssassin
No ._.
It honestly looks pretty bad.
Low-res textures, lack of effects, bad lighting, washed out look over the whole thing. It's like someone managed to import high-poly models into a game from 2004.
Honestly i don't care, i expected a cubic robotic horrible game and isn't bad at all.shobonimaster
ps3 looks better as always
+carmelo romano as always?...do you even own a ps4?
Everything looks better in the PS3 version in my opinion (except Sebastian's face). It has better lighting, more gritty textures, less glare, and the PS4 version has a weird green filter
nice music, but i don't know the name :X
Btw thx ur cprs ps3 vs 4

***** thx dude :D
First game that made me want to get a ps4 now. Can't wait to see a next gen Bioshock too.
Very good comparison video))) Btw what is the music name for this video???
shadowdancer Parasail - Silent Partner
Great thx)))
I'll opt to get this game on Ps3. It looks a lot more darker than the current gen counter part. And overall the character models look more clayish with the lighter environment on the Ps4 than the Ps3 does.
Its sad that we actually drop below an hd resolution for last gens consoles and almost for next gen as well.
I actually prefer the ps3 version in a lot of shots. It feels like some lighting and effects were thrown into the ps4 version just for the sake of it.
very useful reference video. Thanks a lot!
Almost no difference between the two versions. PlayStation 3 version still looks fantastic. The PlayStation 4 version is obviously higher resolution in some scenes, in others it's not so noticeable. A few scenes also contained environments that were slightly more detailed on the PlayStation 4 version, but again nothing major. I was on the fence about getting this game, but after seeing this video, it looks really good, and I'm going to go for the PlayStation 3 version. A slightly higher resolution and the odd scene with a marginally more detailed enviornment is just not a big enough incentive for me to choose the next-gen. version of the game.
Ps4 has more details,shadows,blood,the atmosphere are more scary.Nice video btw !
You mean ps3?? PS3 had more gore details
characters faces look a bit blurred on the ps3 while ps4 is crisp
O PS4 só ganha em algumas texturas em cutscenes principalmente no começo do jogo ae, depois de começar a Gameplay em muitos momentos o PS3 simplesmente humilhou reparem bem em 5:52 adiante no PS3 tem bem mais sangue no maluco da máscara e no PS4 está bem mais amarelado, que remaster porco hein
It's clear the devs gave the PS3 and 360 versions more love than their next gen counterparts.
Ps4 version had better lighting. Game being "darker" doesn't make it better. Ps4 had more accurate lightning and of course better textures.
Let's get one thing straight. This isn't a fair comparison because it's 100% obvious that the video is doctored. Sure the textures and sharpness are better on the PS4, but it's no where near as bright and faded on the PS3 as this video would make you believe. You can tell it's doctored because of the varying levels of brightness on the PS3 side. It changes at 3:03 and then even brighter at 4:38.
This ran really badly on my ps3. Bad textures, and felt kind of glitchy too. Not sure if it's better on ps4, but it's not great considering it's a 2014 game.
I love how the characters are in ps4 but I don't like the unnecessarily excessive brightness in the ps4 version. In some aspects the ps4s graphics look more bloody and run down but so bright. Ugh. Still love this game though
excelent comparison
Oh wow kidman looks much better in the ps4 version. I thought she looked weird in the ps3
Textures and lighting in the PS4 version are a million times better. And after watching this vid, the scenes where he's being chased by the chainsaw guy and running into the elevator! Look at that lighting on the Ps4!!! And this type of game needs those effects to be scary
I just got the ps3 version (I have the modded Steam Version as well) and the grittiness and poopy textures actually make it feel like another game tbh..not by a lot but much darker.
The ps4 version has more detail, is brighter, and has a yellowish filter. The ps3 version has more shadows, a more natural lighting, and more blood and gore on the floor. The ps4 version also seems to have a bit more draw distance, while the ps3 version has more detail in the pool of water. I have the ps3 version. The ps4 has a massive 40gb install requirement, while the ps3 only requires a 7gb install. I have both a ps3 and ps4, so I'm not a ps3 biast. So take your pick. :)
+Gardevoir Trainer The PS4 version seems obsessed with detail.
It's nice to see the PS3 version to hold this well. Seems like graphics are becoming more than a question of definition and polygon count.
Also the PS3 version has frequent screen tearing and pop-in, and sometimes stutters in the framerate.
I have also the PS3 version.
Lol looking at it again, the PS4 is beautiful when comes to detail and the PS3 looks a bit more grim. They're both good, I love this game a bit too much and would be insane to buy a PS4 copy as well.
+Gardevoir Trainer Does it hv a difficulty setting ?
+Belt Holder Yes, both versions have difficulty settings.
Gardevoir Trainer Thank u!
Love the music. Name of the music ?
Dyms roro Parasail - Silent Partner :)
***** Thank you ! :D
Dyms roro sounds a bit like Akira Yamaoka :B
Jose Fuentes I was just thinking that.
Darude - Sandstorm
ps3 is more the horror type with its blurry graphics, looks good though, gonna buy it for 9euros on psn 60percent discounts.
Finallyi game with a big noticable differnce their is so much more detail in the enviroments on ps4
this is like that early 90s type music kinda reminds me of fugazi or something
Yeah, I wonder where this music is from
Just imagine if this was a next gen only game.
Next gen "25-30 FPS" 900-1080p...performance of a 4 year old GPU. Oh yeah...NEXT gen baby!
Don't think it would matter....the ps4 and xbox one can't even maintain a steady 30fps and the game isn't even running in 1080p on either system on top of it.
1:29 certain shots just suit the ps3's darker pallet better and look more realistic.
Games coming out right now are still designed for Ps3 and 360. Around Next year you will start to see games that are exclusive to next gen and it will be leaps better.
The Ps3 looks a little Bit blury but the Graphics are Realy God for a 2006 Console:)
