Kotaku Suggest 360 version slightly better

[SuburbanBoy TM]

Though in truth there isn't much in it. I'd certainly take the word of an independent and more importantly trusted site over corporations such as IGN who have ties to Sony...

Never trust a site whose "reviewers" have an affinity for terms such as "o(p)wned," "fail," and "l33t".

 

Nevertheless, they are entitled to their respective opinions.

God you're such a fanboy it's unbelievable. "Better" this "Better" that. IGN ties to Sony?

 

Do you know how much MS pays them just to give HALO the ultimate score rating?

 

You have no idea what you're tlaking about. Kotaku is pretty much the only one suggesting this, and I have no doubt they're pretty easily persuaded by Microsofts deep pockets.

 

The only reaosn the 360 could be better is with the DLC, and htta is if you're paying more than the original game asks for. Without it, face the facts. The PS3 comes out on top ont he performance level, but why go on about it?.. move on.

 

I'm happy most reviewers have the balls to stick it in Microsofts face and speak the truth & I can tell you hate it with every inch of your body. Are you that desperate? ... Both consoles have their pros & cons, leave it at that becayse GTA IV will be great on both in it's own way. The game is out in less than 21 hours, c'mon man!... enjoy the epic moment & shut up about this crap.

 

And btw, you need to check those links because no where does it say Kotaku favor the 360 version... in fact from a technical aspect, the PS3 is the lead here. So what the hell you're trying to prove is confusing.

umm......you must be a 360 fan boy cause that is not what any of those links say.

[Bruxism]

I think I speak for the majority of this forum when I say WHO FOOKING CARES?

[mufc]

WTF

 

 

This is what it says

 

Final Thoughts

If this were a personal decision, I'd have chosen the PlayStation 3 edition, mostly based on my preference for the DualShock controller and the performance edge. However, one thing that we have yet to experience is how well the PlayStation Network will handle the online portions of GTA IV, an extremely important consideration. I place less of an emphasis on features like Achievements and Gamerscore, but appreciate how well crafted these features are.

quote from the comparison reviewFrame Rate

The Grand Theft Auto series has never been synonymous with a rock solid frame rate, something it generally seems to get a pass for. While GTA IV is smoother in general than it's predecessors, it can expectedly suffer during chaos. The Xbox 360 version seemed capable of achieving a smoother frame rate, peaking higher in certain circumstances, such as in confined spaces or during light traffic, but both versions seemed to regularly run at a similar clip.

 

Pop-In & Loading

With a huge, seamless streaming world, data must be constantly read from the disc. The PS3 version, with its required HDD install, loads missions a couple seconds faster and decreases pop-in. The Xbox 360 version can suffer from some very noticeable texture loading, as things like trees, vehicles and building signs will regularly pop-in as one tools about town. It can be distracting, especially during high speed chases, and the PS3 version isn't entirely immune from it, but it's not a game killing problem.

 

Graphics

The two versions are so close to identical, visually, that putting together a comparison was a challenge. Initially, it appeared that the PS3 suffered from more noticeable aliasing than its 360 counterpart, but after eyeballing the final retail copy, they appear to be on par. I noticed that the paint filter applied to cover some of the game's imperfections appeared a tiny bit muddier on the PS3 version, with night time scenes seeing more streakiness. Some of these minor complaints may be the result of our particular television settings and require the finest of fine tooth combs to assess.

its amazing how many people here LOVE to take sony's meat sixaxis deep in their throat.

and i dont know, id personally take someones word whos been developing the game for the past 3 and 1/2 years over any review site, biast or not. dan houser says he like the rendering better, lazlo says he likes the 360 better. so there you go fanbots, theres 2 people who made the game for 3 1/2 years who have different opinions.

personally, live beats the ever living sh*t outta PSN, in terms of lag, voice communication, features and everything elce( remember, you get what you pay for, how much do you pay for PSN? oh thats right, its free because its sh*t). so my vote goes with 360. i could care less about splitting hairs with graphics, but thats all the sony boys have. is a little less pop in.

Finally a good, non-fanboy comprasion.

[SuburbanBoy TM]

I'm well aware the guy has a preference for the PS3 controller. But the real meat and potatoes is the stuff he says in complete contradiction to what IGN said...

 

IGN pronounced the PS3 version ran smoother, Kotaku have said otherwise. Also the graphics on the PS3 appear muddy at times to mask anomalies, while both versions have texture pop in. So graphics wise I'd say thats a win no matter how slight for the 360. And remember this is the gold retail version they are assessing, not an early review copy such as IGN will have played

its amazing how many people here LOVE to take sony's meat sixaxis deep in their throat.

Its also amazing how some people are so ignorant they can't face the facts, accept it, and move on without bitching about it or making up a bunch of BS to keep it going.

 

 

Anyways, this can go on for hours & hours on end, it'll never finish and people will always express different opinions as well step on other peoples toes. I'm through with fanboys. I'm gonna go get excited for the like you all should be.

 

Adios.

kotaku fails in life, they posted the leaked map(s) which NOONE SHOULD POST ON THIS FORUM, they are 360 fanboys and they cant even spell right

 

honestly all(most) of the replies are true, WHO CARES? you'll get the game and kick some police ass without caring about the other console's players

 

so shut em' up(from a trailer )

face facts? oh you mean face reviewers own personal opinion and accept them as fact when they meet your own view. your a idiot, we can wait for the gametrailers video compairison if you wanna face facts, and not base it off a reviewers opinion.

[Gta--UK]

umm to me they are still saying the ps3 version is slightly better. Did you not read it at all?

And arn't sixaxis controls optional??

[jmace]

TO SUM UP THE REVIEW FOR THOSE WHO DIDN'T READ IT:

 

Installion: PS3 > Xbox 360 because you'll be thankful for it in the long run

 

Framerate:Xbox 360 > PS3 "The Xbox 360 version seemed capable of achieving a smoother frame rate, peaking higher in certain circumstances, such as in confined spaces or during light traffic, but both versions seemed to regularly run at a similar clip."

 

Pop up and floating: PS3 > Xbox 360 "The Xbox 360 version can suffer from some very noticeable texture loading" However, he notes the PS3 isn't immune to it.

 

Graphics: PS3 = Xbox 360 "The two versions are so close to identical, visually, that putting together a comparison was a challenge"

 

DLC: Xbox 360 > PS3 Do I need to explain this?

 

Good Vibrations: PS3 = Xbox 360

 

Motion Controls: Gives PS3 no advantage. "You'll probably leave it off, just like I did."

 

Achievements: Not much of an advantage with all the stat tracking taking place

 

I think they look pretty even to me. So it depends on what you like. Personally, I want the DLC sooo....Xbox 360 for me.

I would have given this more thought, but the second you said IGN+Sony=Love(In your terms, these are my terms) I didn't care. Something tells me that if IGN had said, "Get the 360 version!" then you wouldn't have said that. So funny.

What is even funnier is that fanboys from both sides are saying, "Face facts!".

 

How about this:

If you say, "Face facts, x version is superior because x source said it and it is better than your source that contradicts me!" then you're a pathetic loser. This is directed at both camps.

seriously,

wait for gametrailers.com video compairison, there gonna do it, just like almost every other multiplatform release. then you can "face facts" and something tells me after that happens the sony boys will still be clinging to opinions to fight there battle, and the xbots will be linking to gametrailers to fight theirs.

[Lothrian]

while both versions have texture pop in.

What Kotaku actually said ...

 

The Xbox 360 version can suffer from some very noticeable texture loading, as things like trees, vehicles and building signs will regularly pop-in as one tools about town.

 

and yes ... PC gamer here, so technically I should like the 360 more, except I don't care about either since both are already out of date, however we have a PS3 in the house, so that will do until a PC version comes out.

[AtrumVindex]

LOL, ties with Sony

 

I'm sure IGN has ties with MS too..........

[GoY-Dan]

Haha, I love that the PS3 fanboys spam the hell outta the forum when there's a slither of evidence that PS3 may be better but when there's evidence which suggests otherwise... suddenly "nobody cares"

I don't have to "face facts" because I believe both sides are bullsh*t and I'm getting both versions. This fanboy war is the dominion of the sad and pathetic exclusively. If you are a fanboy, you can't be anything other than that. Are you a fanboy? I don't want to think so. So, what do you have to gain ina non-fanboy way from flaunting your version's superiority when the "Sony boys" can come back with just as much to support their case?

 

Seriously, why bother?

[Seachmall]

Haha, I love that the PS3 fanboys spam the hell outta the forum

And whats this thread about?

 

 

 

The good news for Grand Theft Auto fans is that whatever platform you have chosen as your own, GTA IV excels on both.

Why has noone posted this yet?

so does this make you a 360 fanboy? i have both systems and both has there cons and pros so just stfu will ya.

but it is also funny how you can say that and suck ms dick along the way f*ckin give it up already and just buy the game and shut up.

you've hurt my feelings immensely!!! i think i might just go waste $400 on a PS3 so i can be as cool as you.

 

PS :can you teach me how to type like a retarded 12 yr old who's parents forgot to give him his Ritalin (as seen in your name)
