The fine folk(s)(?) at the-horror.com have posted a lengthy article comparing the graphics between the recently released (in Japan, anyway) Resident Evil 5 demos on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. I'll cut to the chase and tell you that it looks like the 360 comes out ahead. But, you should also know that these demos are probably based on different builds of the game, and the 360 version could just be a later build. Also, these comparisons were made using the component outputs of both systems, and according to the-horror.com, the PS3's component out isn't as sharp as the 360's in general. And even with these caveats, the differences here aren't all that noticeable to someone who doesn't obsess over the opacity of shadows. (Mark my words, "The Opacity of Shadows" will one day be the subtitle of a crappy Star Wars novel.)Still, does anyone else find it odd that so few games seem to take advantage of the PS3's Area 51-caliber processing technology. There's enough power in that shiny black box to run a Borg cube, but aside from Metal Gear Solid 4 and LittleBigPlanet, I haven't seen a PS3 game truly outshine one on the more sluggish 360. Maybe it takes a twelve-digited Zeta Riticulan to figure out how to utilize that Cell processor. (Yes, I'm suggesting MGS4 and LBP were developed by extraterrestrials. In the case of MGS4, you'd be hard pressed to prove me wrong.)
