In nearly all reviews so far, it's specifically stated that both Xbox 360 versions as well as the PS3 versions are alike. Nothing in the matter of gameplay(not counting DLC, just the 65$ you pay for the game itself) is "favorited" to a console.
So what's making GTAIV the current hottest topic in System Wars? The tiny fact that the PS3's got better anti-aliasing, framerate and colors. By a little stretch.
Allow me to counter-b****.
WHAT THE HELL DID YOU EXPECT!? The PS3's got more power, better processing capabilities, more disc storage and uses it's Hard-drive to "install" itself, to become an even faster working game. AKA - Heavy pricetag is smacked ontop of it like a falling hippo.
Where as the X360 is a more... civilized console. Average price, average stability, average doom-control and superb games.
Doesn't that sound like your average near-college dorm? Civilized buildings, decent rent, puking seventeen year olds all over the place, if a fire rages all hope is lost and has superb drinks.
Both games still run as smoothly with the PS3 having a slight upper hand. Who gives a ****? Has the day finally come that you can say "YES! I paid 600$ for this black futuristic...thing, and now it's superior! KNEEL FOR ME *****ES!"?
Hell, none of the PS3 owners have reason to feel superior. The X360 version isn't like fat lady on a unicycle trying to finish the million pound march, in the sense of framerate. It's a bit less good. It's not like you're talking True Crime NYC Xbox360 here.
You guys need to stop nitpicking, man. Better yet, people are making 250$ v.s 400$ decisions on wether the game runs a tiny bith more smooth.
Make a decision over something that matters, to name somethin'; Crowded online(with jackasses inc./55$ a year) v.s Smooth Online(1/4th of Xbox Live's Community in people/free). Achievements v.s Home "Trophies". Xbox Controller layout v.s Playstation Controller Layout. Red Rings of Death v.s Infamous "Yellow Light".
Unless, you're sitting four inches away from your screen - Then, yes. I don't need to go O'Reilly on your ass.
But don't forget that it's a game. A source of entertainment. If the frame rate dips to 27FPS, or if a trashcan pops in at a 50ft distance instead of the 500ft because you're zooming past driving 120MPH... Are you gonna yell "MY GOODNESS! I'VE BEEN RIPPED OFF! THIS VERSION SUCKS!"?
If you can't stand the framerate falling down a notch, go and play Forza Motorsport. Or, GT5. Or try to get better reasons to get the System Wars back on fire.
