This results in a somewhat uneven form of scaling for PS3 owners, compounded by the anti-aliasing solution chosen: quincunx, which combined with the lower resolution adds a somewhat obvious, and unwelcome, blur to the game. Yup, a it's sub-HD detail level resolved on PlayStation 3, with a bizarre 1280x576 resolution chosen for the game up against 720p on Xbox 360. In terms of visual quality, there are some differences though, as the shots below demonstrate.įlat colours and the nature of this image play down the difference level, but due to demo content variance, it's the only similar-looking shot we can produce for now. Similarly each version is v-synced, with no tearing.

Tales of Vesperia runs at 30FPS in the field sections, while the battle sections run at a crisp 60FPS on both systems. Curiously, the actual content of the demo is very different to what Xbox 360 owners got in their download, but there are several differences and similarities that can be discerned. So with that in mind, let's take a look at Tales of Vesperia, the demo of which has recently found its way onto PSN.

In the vast majority of cases, demos are actually produced after the final game has been submitted for evaluation to the platform holder, and it's very rare indeed that there are any palpable differences between the sampler and the 'real thing' in terms of pure performance.

Playable demos are often the first chance we get to check out gaming performance before the full retail or review code is made available to us.
