What do you think would be the reason? Lazy devs?

Also, what do you guys consider GTA IV graphics? good /decent / bad / etc...?

They are keeping the PS3 version secret. Could be the megat0n.

I would be disappointed since I want the PS3 version.

I think it's possible though considering they've already worked on Table Tennis 360 so they do have a background development for the console. On the other hand, they've been working on GTAIV for ages so I expect both versions to be very similar.

The only major difference between the two is what was seen in the previous GTAs. They have always been the same game on the PS2, PC, and Xbox, with the only difference being the Xbox and PC version had better graphics for the most part (GTA III looked better on the PS2 then on the PC). This time around I feel the PS3 may have the graphics advantage, however small it may be.

 I honestly don't think the two will look different, at least not to a point where its very noticeable.

You think? Yeah, it's possible I suppose.

I don't think I'd really care if the PS3 version had better graphics or worse, as long as there wasn't a significant difference. I know "ownage" will be handed out to the side that has the worse version but again, doesn't bother me since both PS3/360 fans will be playing GTAIV, GOTY.

will, Rockstar did show concern regarding the core 360 since it does not have a harddisk. how is this gonna effect the game on the 360, i guess only time will tell.

but i think they'll look comparable for the most part. with the exception if there is a pc version coming later

Considering GTA4 was built from the ground up on the PS3, it will obviously be better, plus almost no load times and far more features. The 360 version of GTA4 will be massively downgraded compared to the PS3 version. Blu Ray is needed, especially considering how large the game will be and the high quality graphics will take up a lot of space.

I don't think it will really matter which version is better... the more people who get to play it, the better. :)

:lol: as much as I agree with you, some people on these forums especially just don't need to play a game like GTA.

how would high quality graphics take up more space(remember FEAR on the pc maxed out looks better then any thing on the 360/ps3 and that game fit on 6 CD's)? why would the ps3 have no load times yet the 360 have load times (the xbox 360's disc drive is actually faster then the ps3 blue ray drive)? The rage engine or what ever has actually been built ground up with table tennis on the xbox 360. why would the ps3 have more features?

Recently (well since Oblivion, and on), the developers seem to be closing the gap in the differences between the two systems.  By the time GTAIV comes out; the two versions will be so identical it'll be hard to spot any variations.  And that's how it's going to be for the rest of the generation I believe; unless of course, porting ensues.

Why are people so system biased? Graphics are not everything and even if PS3 has better graphics than the 360 games run better on 360 because Devs are familiar with the 360 and know how to tweak things to make things smoother.

I really wouldn't be surprised if it looked better on either the 360 or PS3.  Certainly there will be a winner as far as superior graphics goes.  Then again, the 360 might have something better A and PS3 have something better B.
