[QUOTE="dhjohns"][QUOTE="MojondeVACA"]lol ps3 version runs at 630p, it can even handle a 720p image, the 360 version might have pop in and seconds longer loading times,but at least it runs a 720p and not a subpar resolution like the ps3 version.MojondeVACA
This is a serious thread please. No trolling allowed. Thank you.
Its the best i can do, im not trolling,if u don't agree with my opinion is your problem,i didn't flame anything or anyone i just pointed out some facts.
So the guy at beyondwhatever is god now? From what I know, the pixel count in Halo 3 was confirmed, the rest of the games were not, at least not by the programmers. And, anyway, doesn't GTA 4 look better on PS3 (better antialiasing + less texture pop in + shorter load times), at least in every reviewers opinion so far, except for kotaku (a blog)?
IGN's review:
For those wanting to know which version looks better, the edge goes to the PS3. The textures and framerate are comparable, but the PS3 has far less pop-in. The 360 has richer colors, but the PS3 has better anti-aliasing making it look a little cleaner. Because GTA IV can preload onto the PS3 hard drive, the in-game loads are faster. Don't worry Xbox owners, the load times are rarely more than 30 seconds and don't occur very often. The slight visual edge goes to PS3, but the 360 is no slouch. Either version will do you proud.
Kotaku's comparison:
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.
The good news for Grand Theft Auto fans is that whatever platform you have chosen as your own, GTA IV excels on both. They are almost evenly matched, feature for feature. Gamers will have to decide which is more important to them, a slightly more technically sound experience on the PlayStation 3 or downloadable content and Xbox Live integration on the Xbox 360.
...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.
