Howcome the graphics on Mx vs ATV Reflex are crappy on my PS3 when they were awsome on my cousins Xbox?
I dont know why the graphics in this game are so terrible on my PS3, its set up with an HD tv with an HDMI cord at 1080i resolution, i know the Xbox doesnt even go that high and it looked 10x better. I know its this game and not my console to, all my other games are fine and normal, but this one is just gross looking.
If any of you have this same problem or know how to fix it pls answer, i payed $70 for a game that looks no better than a PS2 game : /
Unfortunately some games are better optimized for one console than another. The only way to avoid getting ripped off is to read some reviews of the version you want before you buy it, or just rent it first. Reviewers usually mention if there are any discrepancies between the different verisons.
Here is a quote from GameSpot’s review of Mx vs ATV Reflex:
“Reflex is not a particularly good looking game on either system, with blurry, low-res textures that are distracting in the open world tracks. The track deformation is a pretty addition, but there are better looking alternatives, especially for the Playstation 3, where the game looks considerably worse. The textures are grainier, and they tend to get drawn in slower, sometimes right under your wheels, and background objects like trees and fans often pop in just as you pass them. The PS3 version also suffers from a spotty frame rate. It’s a bummer to crest over a huge jump only to see blotchy scenery stutter into view below you. Load times are also longer on the PS3 version. It’s not bad before race events since the game lets you drive around an arena and practice some tricks while it loads, but they’ll slow you down in the menus when you’re trying to customize a vehicle. The one positive standout is the rider animation, which reacts fluidly and realistically to your commands.”
Here are some reviews of other PS3 racing games. Not necessarily motocross racing, but the graphics for some are much better: http://www.gamespot.com/reviews.html?type=reviews&category=Racing&platform=1028&mode=all&sort=score&dlx_type=all&sortdir=asc&official=all .
