Effy in Chains Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 It's been said that the Xbox 360 version will have less anti-aliasing, which to me is a terrible thing , meaning more screen tearing. I absolutely hate screen tearing and only find it acceptable in very small amounts. 1. I would like to know if there will be an option to turn anti-aliasing on like in Saints Row to completely eliminate screen tearing at the cost of reducing the frame rate? It would be well worth it in my opinion, becuase a slightly lower frame rate with no screen tearing looks way better than a higher frame rate with screen tearing. 2. How much screen tearing will there be in your opinion? Thanks for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrKlorox Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Screen tearing and jaggies (aliasing) are two VERY different things. Screen tearing is fixed by vertical-sync, jaggies are fixed by fullscreen anti-aliasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA Bronx Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Answers: 1: We don't know, we haven't played the game yet 2: See answer to 1 Ok i have a rough idea. 1) No, because, well there could 2) I reckon a fair bit because unlike saints row, GTA IV will have alot more going on on-screen especially in Manhattan.

giants84 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Wtf is with all the bs about 360 version having problems, have you ever read reviews of games that come out both on 360 and ps3. Not once have i seen the same game on ps3 get anything but crap from reviewers in terms of it looking worse or having problems. With that said this is rockstar the games will be fine for both ps3 and 360 so enough bs already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mupet0000 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 You wont get screen tearing. Just the edges of things/people will be more jagged and generally look worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in they never really reviewed it but at the same time, they didn't say anything negative about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
