Of course, the PS3 game is playable online for no cost. Sadly the frame rate comes into play once again, making online matches a choppy mess a lot of the time. Whereas the Xbox 360 game requires you to buy the extra content for the multiplayer game modes, the PS3 game includes it all on one disc. The intention is the show the difference in frame rate between the two games.Īgain, on the face of it the PS3 game should win this category hands down. The Xbox 360 footage was taken from the final retail game over Component with the Reference level set to Expanded. PS3 footage was taken from the final retail game over HDMI with RGB Full and Superwhite set to On. You can see a direct comparison of the two games running side by side in our Lost Planet Xbox 360 Vs PlayStation 3 video. It’s an easy victory for the Xbox 360 game. In still shots the differences aren’t completely obvious, but in motion the sluggish frame rate in the PS3 version and the differences in motion blur are clear to see. While recent multi-format releases have been pretty much neck and neck in terms of visual quality, Lost Planet is far prettier on the Xbox 360. Motion blur also seems to be worse in the PlayStation 3 game, which has a drastic effect on the movie-like appearance of the game. During certain boss fights it gets so bad that it actually has a negative effect on gameplay too. On the PS3 things aren’t nearly as pretty, mainly down to the sluggish frame rate that plagues almost every moment of the game. All this visual splendour didn’t come at a cost to the frame rate either, with the game running at a brisk pace for the most part. The snow-covered levels look gorgeous, the giant bugs are incredibly detailed and the next-gen effects (such as the awesome looking motion blur) add a CG movie-like quality to proceedings. Lost Planet arrived on the Xbox 360 early in 2007 but it still stands as one of the system’s best looking games.
