Should i buy GTA V for xbox 360 or PS3?

I have the Hao 4 console and the PS3 slim. Both are in good condition.  I don't want to pay for xbox live anymore but i don't really like PSN.

I heard that majority of games from R* are better on xbox 360.  I have friends on both consoles but it always feels like a ghost towm on PSN.  I also like both controllers. Will i miss anything or be making a mistake if i purchase GTA V on either console?  I really want to get it on which ever the game is more popular on, and at the moment i think xbox 360 has more pre orders.

It has been confirmed to be superior on PS3.

PS3, then if you have a good enough PC, for PC too.

It has been confirmed to be superior on PS3.

yep this is the one time the entire gen a rockstar game (or open world game of any type) will be best on ps3.

anyway like the other dude said get it for whichever one your friends will be on.

Rockstar have said multiple times that performance wise and graphically, the PS3 is superior.

Yes, and the PS3 is much more powerful than the 360.

Buy it for whatever one you want.

R* said there is literally no difference between the two versions this time so buy based on which you have more friends on as the Online looks awesome

I'm getting the 360 version and hoping it doesn't RROD my console lol.

HyperWarlock

lol no they didn't. People were worried the PS3 version would be shit cos all their PS3 versions are shit for games this gen. So they replied that both versions are almost identical with no big differences between the two.

[QUOTE="Tessellation"] why you lie bro,the only thing they said the game is pushing both consoles to their limits.Tessellation

Yes, and the PS3 is much more powerful than the 360.

Maybe you should try taking a shower then.

All open world games are superior on 360. The POS3 just can't handle them. mems_1224

Lemmings are so butthurt to get the inferior version of the last great game of the generation.

They are showing the PS3 version because the 360 version would damage their reputation if people thought that mess was the lead version.

Not really. I still have a friend trying to convince me to buy GTAV, but I'm not sold yet. Might get it just to bridge the gap until PS4. And it could be great.

That is some nice damage control. They also needed to make an exclusieve PS3 bundle and Pulse Elite Headset for it as well? Face it Grand Theft Auto V is PS3 experience first and foremost.

y'know, i was not going to say alot about this subject other than the importance of getting the version your friends will be playing but if people want to just lie about it then here is the comparison between the red dead redemption versions.

gta 5 and rdr run on the exact same rage engine which is rockstars proprietary game engine.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-red-dead-redemption-face-off

"So, we're just left with the matter of the final recommendation. We've demonstrated conclusively that the Xbox 360 version of Red Dead Redemption possesses higher resolution, improved levels of detail, noticeably superior performance in-game and fewer jaggies owing to a more consistently applied anti-aliasing solution that doesn't blur the image. Shadows are generally sharper, and of better quality (particularly on the characters' self-shadows).

Just about the only area where PS3 commands an advantage is in terms of loading: the 515MB mandatory install shaves off a few seconds, but as the only in-game loading occurs during fast-travel between locations (using the campsite), it's hardly worth mentioning. Certainly the install doesn't grant any kind of tangible performance boost in terms of less LOD-popping or anything like that.

However, none of this is to say that Red Dead Redemption is not a good game in its own right on PlayStation 3. Play on PS3 without having seen the 360 version and it's difficult to imagine that the fun factor of the game has been massively impacted. And if Rockstar had decided to deliberately dial back 360 to make the game look and feel identical to the PS3 version, it's hard to imagine that the enviable scores it has attracted would be any different.

In short, Rockstar is to be commended on what is an absolutely fantastic game on both platforms, but the technical analysis is pretty conclusive: if you've got the choice of buying the game for either console, Xbox 360 is the version of Red Dead you should buy."

biggerdjam

The game is supposed to max out both consoles, so i would say both versions will look the same. Maybe 360 version ends up performing slightly better, due to it's ram advantage.

You came to the right place to get this question answered, you'll get plenty of level-headed and unbiased responses.

[QUOTE="mems_1224"] Not really, Rockstar has to show the PS3 version off because everyone assumes its trash by comparison. They know its superior on 360 and dont need to promote it. mems_1224

You think people are going to stop buying cheaper PS3 and 360s just because new consoles are coming out? Hell I saw a people on here that bought PS3s just because of The Last Of Us.

PS3 version is better confirmed

I do play games, but probably a lot less than most on this forum. I will admit that.

PS3 version is better confirmed

Do you scream like a bitch when you play Outlast? Jurious curious because Brad does and find it hilarious and pathetic at the same time. I may do a comparison.

It definiely gets tense but I wouldn't say I scream like a bitch or go overboard. 

lol why would you do a comparison? I have 2,000 subs Brad has 1million+ and has been doing it for years. He's clearly gonna be better than me

Just the playstyles. I really don't like the way he just completely ignores the details in games sometimes. Like completely skipping documents/notes and stuff like that. Or completetly ignoring what is being said to him/clues in games and getting lost. He still plays the games OK, but it is obvious he is on schedule to crank out stuff as a job. Even admitted he didn't want to play this game, but is doing it becasue people want to see it. Maybe a smaller channel with focus would be better for this type of stuff. What is wrong with a comparison? Just because someone is doing it long doesn't mean it is better. Honestly I started watching him when Dead Space 2 came out well over 2 years ago and he seemed a lot more passionate back then. I imagine I would start phoning it in too if had to play every major release. The games he really likes are usually good videos though. I assume you only play the games you want to play at this point.

Well every other version has looked and ran better on the 360 so its safe to say the last one for this generation will be no different.

Assumptions make you look like an ass. PS3 had the better versions of Bioshock Infinite and Tomb Raider so far year. Developers took forever, but PS3 is getting the better mulitplats now.

StrongBlackVine

When starting a channel you have to be careful of what type of stuff you put up. He does an excellent job with the amount of videos he pumps out but yeah guys like that start to show yhey're under pressure to get games out and end up rushing some things, which is a shame because he is well able to take his time and doesn't need to pump out the newest game instantly. His fans would wait for him

You can compare if you want, just saying don't expect me to be as good as one of the best let's players on youtube :P

I play a bit of everything. outlast is definitely one I wanted to play and no one was gonna stop me. Same with A machine for pigs tomorrow. I did take a lot fo requests before and played a tonne of really poor games and it shows in my commentary. Someone said "it looked like you were forcing it for a while" and they were spot on to call me on it cos I was forcing it. But you can't totally ignore suggestions from subscribers because they're the main and most important part of the channel. 

That being said I'm definitely covering something like Battlefield 4 when it launches even if a lot of my subs only like the horror stuff because I really wanna play it

I have the Hao 4 console and the PS3 slim. Both are in good condition.  I don't want to pay for xbox live anymore but i don't really like PSN.
