    I meant the people who commented on the site. I have seen no screen tearing or graphical bugs on the PS3 version. The graphics look much more better than the ones in those pictures too. I have to use a non-HD TV, and it STILL looks amazing!

    Oh sorry. Missread your post. I think the whole point of Lens of Truth is silly flamebate, but I think they keep it pretty balanced (ie. not only showing 360 looking better etc etc.).

    I don't really have any complaints because I'm kinda used to seeing the age of the Unreal engine, but the game looks epic in other ways, and it's hella fun to play. I really wish it was cross platform so I could play with some of my 360 buds.

    Make sure you Update your PS3 an Update was resonantly released

    I was Trying to load FOC, And it would freeze Every time, so I Checked for an Update,
    and sure enough there was an Update!
    I Downloaded it and it stopped the freezing! hasn't giving me any more Problems :) 

    PS3 Is the Best it has such Amazing Graphics!
    there a Reason to why it has SO Many Exclusives, I Hope this Problem get's fix for you guys! :)

    I have seen the green pixels where sparks are supposed to be, it's not a huge deal, but it's there.

    I've never seen the green pixels. The only problems I've hard are the game has frozen twice over the entire campaign and the character textures are super-low res. Like PS2 era games.

    There's texture pop on the 360 . Not sure how bad it is since I have it installed, for me it's 1-2 seconds except on the customize bot screen where it can be up to 5 seconds.

    There's a few things I agree on this thread. I played the game and feel that its amazing, and the stages are so big giving a lot of areas to explore.

    The negative things I noticed were occasional freezes. (1st chapter when Bumblebee transformed. Grimlock Chapter when he first transforms and fights insecticons)

    I got an HDTV, the PS3 is connected with a HDMI cable and the console is updated but the graphics occasionally do look a bit crap/grainy/pixelated (especially on the multiplayer) Sometimes I wonder if it is in HD. It certainly does not look as good as the pictures I've seen on the internet posted by HMS.

    Not sure why that is the case, and I don't understand why would XBOX 360 would have better graphics.

    Overall though, it doesnt really bother me. I enjoyed the game and I will continue playing on the MP.

    The pixelation and bad "graphics" as the OP said is due to glitches with the PS3 version. The textures do not load completely, giving it a crappy look. But if you leave it alone for a few seconds in multiplayer, the character parts will fully load within 20 seconds at the most.

    The PS2 comments make me laugh. Either you don't remember what PS2 graphics are like or your PS3 is seriously messed up.

    From what I heard about constant freezing and stuff, it sounds pretty bad for PS3.

    But PC might have it worse.

    Just to clarify, do ppl who own/ played the game in both consoles find that the graphics in PS3 and XBOX 360 are identical? I get the impression from what ppl wrote online that PS3 are worse. :(

    It's the whole high res, low res texture thing. The 360 seems to load the high res faster. However, this may be due to the fact you can install on the xbox but not ps3. I think your best bet is to buy FoC on the PSN so there's no disc reading for textures... In theory.

    I read somewhere that the 360 has the better video card, but the ps3 has the better cpu(but is harder to program for).

    Idk. I have both systems, and even the ps3 had Massive frame rate drop in 6v6 MP matches. Like 2-5 FPS. It's tough.

    Before time began, there were consoles.

    We know not where they come from,

    Only that they hold the power to make people mad and fill them with hate.

    That is how the haters/flamers were born.

    For a time, we lived in harmony,

    But like all great power, some wanted it for good, others for evil.

    And so began the console war, a war that ravaged the internet until it was consumed by death, and the haters/flamers were lost to the far reaches of space.

    We scattered across the internet, hoping to find them and stop the flaming, searching every site, every pixel.

    And just when all hope seemed lost, a message of a new discovery drew us
    to 2 unknown consoles called; Xbox360 and Playstation 3.

    But we were already too late.

    low resolution looking (im gueesisng its sub native and blown up to fit 720p) and slow loading of the low to high resolution textures are the main visual annoyances.

    the original had all the same issues.

    its partially the engine and the hardware. nothing you can do about it but get the pc version if you want the best graphical fidelity from the game. none of these issues exist on it if you have the hardware to run it.

    constant 60fps
    added graphical effects
    native resolution support
    no memory restrictions causing constant swapping of low to high res textures.

    never had the pc version freeze up on me, but then again i haven't had the ps3 version freeze up either...but my play time with both the console versions hasnt been as in depth as the pc so it could only be that i havent invest the amount of time needed with them to experience it.
