360 VS PS3 GTA4 in a nutshell

360: console was out first so development of GTA4 would have started first on 360 meaning that the PS3 version is just the ported stuff from the 360 that began a year & a half or two ago, and we all know about 360 to ps3 ports now don't we.

Ps3: it will have sharper textures than 360 thanks to blu ray not having to compress everthing (much like Oblivion) and thats about all the pros for the ps3, I believe preformance will be down on 360 (sad) due to the above reason for 360.

More RAM will mean better textures and better loadtime as well as steadier framerates, The PS3 as blu-ray thought.....They will break evenXbox360gamer1

You forget RAM is the most major factor in textures, the Xbox 360 has more RAM, hence better textures.

The Xbox 360 get free AA as well so laess jaggies.

Impossible, it must have load times, maybe like Oblivion though where it slows down  to load. 

And for that matter, the 360 part is incorrect too. Sometimes its like you people think that these developers actually use the console to develop the game, like Grandma's boy or something. lockjaw333

I know what you mean but the developers technology they optimise for the console, hense 360 came first and know they have to try and make it work on ps3 which came later

both games are being developed independently, end of story.mmirza23

you wish.

 Huh? where did 4gb come from?

More RAM doesn't gaurantee better textures. Although I agree with your statement, your make it seem like the PS3 has no RAM at all.lockjaw333

They have the same ram PS3 RAM is just split in two

rockstar said the game will have no loading times at all.mmirza23

The game loads once when you start up a game, after that it never loads untill you start a new game.

Well, it was going to be exclusive to the PS3 until M$ killed the game, as it has to be 'equal' so it gets dumbed down for the 360, and it'll still own on PS3 even though it could have been so much better as a PS3 exclusive. 

ya um......they have the same amount of RAM.

360=512

ps3=256+256

get your facts stright

360 fans are such and ignorants, the PS3 has two ram slot each one is 256mb, ok for the ones that cant do the maths 256x2 = 512Pelon208

Indeed, however unified ram is much better. :)

acctually two rams memorys are for multiprocesing. If you don't uderstand that here is an example, you have a world loaded, and but that wolrd is too huge that you need more space, the PS3 use the first 256mb card, and the the other one whitout stopping the game. entiende compadre

Blind, blind speculation.Ninja-Vox

Exactly. No one really knows, but everyone pretends to. I love system wars logic.

No the resolution of the textures, blu ray the textures will been uncompressed, dvd9 will have to be compressed, and compressed images equals blur.HHH316

Compressing data has no effect on graphics.

360 has a much better Ram configuration no ifs ands or buts. Why can't PS3 fans ever concede that any part of the PS3 is not as good as 360. I can concede the PS3 has a better CPU and made the right move with a standard HD. The 360 has a better GPU and RAM, get over it.

lol this thread is very funny. Gotta love the guy ranting on about how the 360 has more ram so it will have faster load times. If im correct oblivion loads faster and has less loading points than the 360 version.Sully28

my thoughts exactly. dumb fanboys give me head achs

The game loads once when you start up a game, after that it never loads untill you start a new game.

Kinda like  Saint's Row when you could walk into building without loadtimes, but is SR you still had load times when starting missions, only about 5 to 7 seconds though on average.

Damn that song (In your Sig) Gotta pop in my MGS3 Subsistance and listen to that song

*slams head on laptop* RAM affects textures and such, NOT disc space!Verge_6

Agreed.

You would think cows would do some research rather than believing Sony's PR hype.

Oh well...

Sorry, you're wrong.  It's better, very much better, due to split memory pools containing 256MB worth of GDDR3 memory and 256MB worth of XDR memory, the PS3 can at best dedicate 256MB worth of ram to textures at any given moment whereas the 360 uses unified memory for a total of 512MB at any given moment for textures.

That's before I get into the fact that the PS3's OS uses up 32MB worth of available GDDR3 for the RSX chip and uses 64MB worth of available XDR memory.  Whereas Xbox 360 uses only 32MB total for it's OS, and don't even get me started on the amount of memory the 360 saves by using 10MB eDRAM on Xenos for free 4xAA.

XBox 360's memory > PS3's memory, by a frigging land slide.

Only if compressed to much.... I gaurantee you  that if you use moderate compression with high quality settings, you would not be able to tell an uncompressed image from a compressed one. That is looking at a still image to boot. There is NO WAY you would in a game while actually playing it.

cows, write this down!

there are NO LOADING TIMES so stop using 'PS3 will have faster loading' as a reason

HAHAHAHA!!!! I really wish people would stop actining like they have some sort of an idea of what they are talking about.

Sounds like everybody here is taking bits and pieces off of little info that they know about hardware and it comes out sounding like bullsh!t.......
