PS3 Owner: WHO CARES

 

Just give the fanboy stuff a rest. PLEASE.

Im just happy that I bought a console with other games I like that will look slightly more realistic.

"While the PS3 and 360 versions of the game are functionally identical, the PS3's visuals sport noticeably smoother edges, along with a warmer color palette that makes everything look slightly more realistic. If you're looking to compare Accomplishments with your Achievement-hoarding friends, though, forget it - GTA IV ignores these half-assed consolation prizes altogether. PS3 owners also have to put up with a nearly eight-minute installation the first time they start the game, which puts the normally slower Blu-ray load times on par with the Xbox 360 version. (That is, unless it's running on a 360 with no hard drive, which we're told will face much longer loads.)"

 

Is this really what you're trying to start a fanboy war over? It's a slight difference, a difference you'll only notice side by side. Get over it, there is no superior version.

Nugget, tell me something:

 

Do you enjoy the Retarded- err, Fanboy- rants that happen daily?

No why do you?

 

I bet if you found out that the PS3 had crap graphics and the 360 had the over edge you would say the same thing.

 

Got a problem?

Theyve said the PS3 had slightly warmer colors and smoother edges for a long time, have fun with your 80 minute install though, im sure that will be a real knee slapper.

i like a full colour pallte tank u not warmer washed out colour any way this is the real comparison this is from the kotaku in depth comparisonFrame 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.

Haha now here is a true 360 fanboy!

 

The install takes on average 5-10 minutes.

 

Anyway I have a 360 and It's died on me about 4 times. confused.gif

Please stop clutching at straws, cos if you ask me its sad.

Both games are exacty the same gameplay wise and isnt that what matters? and unless you have both versions running simultaneously on identical TVs right next to each other, you wont notice rounder edges or warmer colours.

And tbh, out of a version with 'warm colour' or one with extra content, which would you truly, honestly rather have?

 

 

also dont reply with 'i have both consoles', or 'the ps3 will get MEGA CONTENT OMG '(according to rumour)

because i dont care.

 

useless thread.

 

CLOSE

 

ITS OVER

Sorry, i wasnt directing that comment at you. I was showing that i was a PS3 owner aswell, just incase anyone accused me of being a 360 fanboy.

 

 

 

EDIT: Yes, lets all watch biggrin.gif

1. I hate Multiplayer on the 360 because of whiney kids.

2. Achievements dont matter to me.

3. Im not willing to pay for DLC anyway.

 

Dont get angry because you know the PS3 version is better.

Once again: DLC > "slightly" better anything that's not related to gameplay.

Crazy Asian

I never took gamesrader seriously on ANYTHING other than cheats back when it was cheatplanet.

 

Either way, gamesradar says PS3 is better, Kotoku says 360 is better, but prefers the PS3 version. WHO CARES.

From what I'm reading they both say they're both pretty much equal.

Kotoku actually claim if it was a personal decision that they would have the PS3 version.

How do achievements make the game better?

And how is the Multiplayer better?

 

Also, how do you know the DLC is even worth it?

 

So how about you stfu and live with the truth.

i will never understand this fanboy sh*t. seriously. are you honestly gonna be playing the game thinking "wow, that cars edges look pretty smooth, i bet they woulda been barely noticibly rougher on the 360".

If you are gonna be like that, you got serious problems. I got the RROD twice now on my 360, and i like sony better, but i could care less which system i got, i just want GTA BABY!
