On Friday I posted up a Assassin’s Creed 2 comparison article based on the findings of Digital Foundry and was subsequently told that we can’t believe Digital Foundry as they are Xbox 360 fanboys and if we wanted a valid comparison then we must use Lens of Truth.
Normally these sorts of comments just ignored but since the chorus of people against Digital Foundry has been growing I thought I would just follow up and see what the difference between the two sites were and whether they had come to the same conclusion.
In short, yes they had. Both agreed that the two games are very similar but the Xbox 360 wins it due to the PS3 version having far more screen tearing than the 360 version. The PS3 version also generally had a lower FPS rate but it wasn’t bad enough to be an issue.
The load times are marginally (4 seconds) quicker on the 360 version and the PS3 version is also missing one or two assets but again they are not important enough to alter your experience.
So all in all both sites came to the same conclusion and hopefully this will help stop the fanboy accusations that get levelled against Digital Foundry.

MY wive has informed me that I’ll be getting the PS3 version, as the PS3 makes less grinding noises when I play 🙂

Hey Fred, The review copies arrived late for the game, so we weren’t able to have a review out already but should have one this week

Why do comparison screenshots of Lens of Truth always show one platform more washed out than the other? I have both consoles and neither one has ever been more washed out than the other.
I call bullshit on Lens of Truth and their methods.

what happened to this site. I was gone for a few days and the sh!t hit the fan. I am dumbfounded, I am refering to the earlier articles and comments.

Don’t ask, Global Warming is apparently the hot (lol) topic at the moment in that other PSN thread.

Global Warming? Well that is easy, we all know M$ is responsible for that. Bastards for causing the extinction of life as we know it.
