It's a shame they don't just go ahead and annouced the definitive PC version, but I can understand their logic. Getting people to double-dip for the superior revision just makes sense, and it's harder to do that if they know 100% sure it is coming.

Yeah, GTA has never been technically proficient on any platform other than PC.  GTA3 was kinda a rough port but VC and SA were excellent.  

The user-made mods on the PC were also pretty cool.  Free DLC ftw.

It'll be funny when all the people who bought the ps3 version double dip and get the 360 version when the DLC comes out.

because so many of the 15 million ps2 gta players bought lc and vc stories! oh wait no they didnt

and ps3 will get its own dlc

Excuses are the refuge of the weak!

Hopefully there might be some demo or something for GTA4 on the PC. I'd like to see what the fuss is about, but I actually have some morality that kicks in and prevents me from actually buying the game and voting with my dollar that I approve its sort of completely arbitary and brutal violence.

Post by: pilonv1 on April 26, 2008, 07:40:48 AM
Even Mass Effect isn't that bad - it's got the Halo 2 syndrome of texture pop-in but geometry is fine.

That's just a complete non-loading of geometry and textures. If the game is like that I won't even play it.

i said glitch because it disappeared twice suddenly but yes it could be pop in since he was driving fast while 360 is streaming data from the disc, exactly like assassin's creed kingdom area when riding a horse.

so, lemme get this straight

Calcifer's whole argument behind the PS3 GTA4 being better is we DON'T KNOW what the DLC is, so that must mean the DLC will probably suck?

I mean, good job ignoring the fact that it's been confirmed that DLC will have a minimum of 10 hours (http://www.xbox.com/en-gb/community/news/x06/gta4) of content included.

I mean, wtf, man, can't he read?

Quote from: FROM THE FUCKING IGN RATINGS INFO PAGE YOU FUCKING IDIOT
10.0 (Masterful)
No game is absolutely perfect, but 10s represent the pinnacle of gaming brilliance. It doesn't get any better than this, and products in this range are virtually flawless. This is like winning the lottery on your birthday. It takes a rare and special game to earn a 10 from IGN.

Quote from: THIS ONE IS FROM THAT SAME FUCKING PAGE LINKED UNDER THE FUCKING SCORECARD YOU FUCKING COCKSUCKING SHITLICKER
It's important to note that the overall rating is not an average of the five individual categories. We believe that no game will ever fit into a simplistic numeric formula. Many titles are more than a sum of their parts, so the overall score is left to the judgment of the reviewer. This gives you a better sense of the reviewer's overall experience with the game rather than forcing our editors to use an average to determine the final rating for games of multiple types.

Please somebody with a GAF account own that bitch's asshole wide open

I'm no fan of IGN, but ffs, man.

If the content was free and available or at least previewed in detail right now, then maybe you'd have a point. But there are a whole lot of unknowns there at this point. The content could be great, or it could be shit, or it could be unattractive for whatever reason. It's also going to cost extra, so it's not really quite as simple as claiming that it has more content. As of right now, one version appears to be somewhat better than the other, and if the prospect of waiting to pay for content of unknown size and quality isn't appealing, one might be tempted to buy the better version.

well the past has proven that Rockstar is pretty good at staying exclusive, because they held on pretty strong with Sony for quite awhile. Then again, that doesn't exactly support the current situation.

That was more contractual, wasn't it?  By the time Vice City came out, they realized that the Xbox was not just a flash in the pan newcomer, so they released stuff for it the minute the timed exclusive limit was up.

rough translation by me:
Quote
When it comes to the graphical differences between the PS3 and the Xbox 360 verion I was surprised how much better the PS3 version actually is. Sure, the differences doesn't acount for a whole grade (obviously not, if that was the case there would be two different reviews) but it's actually not far from it. The PS3 version of Grand Theft Auto IV is nicer in terms of color depth and contrast, loadtimes are significantly shorter and the textures look a bit higher res. It's also a bit sharper and contains a more even framerate than the Xbox 360 version.

In fact, playing the game in a near-gold state a week ago, as well as now with a retail copy, my experience has been relatively glitch free. That’s not going to stop the fanboys from fighting over which version is better, Xbox 360 or PS3. Guess what…I choose Xbox 360. I’ll take achievements over a couple of higher-resolution textures any day.

It's really not that severe.  One could just as easily say that the incremental differences in the PS3's graphics do less for the gaming experience than, say, the Xbox Live system and how it fundamentally makes online play better.

Being a PS3 owner (like me), you of all people should know the joy of not being able to check invites and messages in-game.  A lot of times I miss the messages altogether, until the next time I boot my system and it tells me someone invited me to play something the day before.  I would gladly trade off some of that extra "vibrance" or w/e for a competent invite system. 

I'm getting it for the PS3 this week, but I may re-buy it for the 360 when the DLC comes out (and when I re-buy a 360.)

So apparently the PS3 version has pop-in as well.

I think people are mad that a half-Sony franchise's best version is on the 360 because of DLC.

They're overreacting when people who played both versions said the PS3 has pop-in as well.

Honestly dude, right now it'd appear more as if Xcunts just can not fucking accept that the PS3 has the edge this time around. I'm sure everyone with some sense expected both versions to have pop-in, so this new revelation that, dudes, the Ps3 has pop-in too, that's just your common cornspitting Xcod's way of cushioning the blow a bit. Of course the other camp is going to try and make a big deal out of it, this shit is stacks of gold in fantard currency.

The DLC is a future release, of unknown quality, and it's a separate purchase (and thus an extra cost). It's not here now, it's not included in the game, and none of the tards in the fanboy war trenches even know what it is. It makes some sense that the DLC would be considered less of a deal breaker than a difference in performance. But, I'm sure plenty of these clowns are ignoring it simply because doing so aids them in pushing their own agendas, but that's really balanced out by xtards blindly talking it up as a for sure awesome and worthwhile thing. Differences in quality is a factor right now, whereas the DLC could, perhaps, be worth a discussion in the future.

Easy - it's free.

This game is a coin flip, everyone has to decide which factors are more important to them. For me, online is mega and I don't want to be locked out of DLC. But it's not a no brainer.

It's amusing to observe how quickly the clown bastards adopt the jig of the much hated enemy the moment the tables are turned. Suddenly, no Xcunt in the world cares about minor differences, because you know, they are just minor differences. Certainly nothing like the abyss that separated the two versions of COD4. Abyss you say? Minor differences, say the Sony backlickers. And lord knows no Sonytard cares about minor differences in quality.

Duckman, there've been many games where the 360 has enjoyed a much bigger edge and Xbots didn't make such a big deal out of it.  It's probably because 360 getting a superior version had almost become commonplace. 


I think you're caring more about the technical differences in GTA4 than they really deserve.  Check out the info complied in the OP of the thread below.  Most reviewers agree that differences are insignificant.

If there's a multiplatform release with minor differences in quality between versions, whatever camp "owns" the marginally superior version will do its best to make damn sure that the differences are illuminated and stretched to be far greater than they really are. If there are major differences between two versions, debates tend to be less heated as the "losing" camp scoffs at the shitty effort of the developer. Xtards and Sonycunts are bits of shit carved from the same turd, and this becomes brutally obvious in cases like these. Xtards are scurrying around in panic, and of course Sony cunts see their chance to seize the village throne. And then when the next high profile multiplatform game drops, with minor differences between the versions, the tables will turn, and those who didn't give a shit about marginal differences before will suddenly care plenty about such differences.

Then multiplayer in the 360 version is discounted altogether?   ???  You guys have a point about the cost, but it gets questionable pretty fast.  Sure, for the 360 owner who doesn't have live, that's huge. I wonder how many actually don't have live.  I mean, I don't even own a 360 right now and I have a live account that's valid until next June.  Thanks to clearanced subscription cards and gifts, I've had live for years now.

Otherwise, if we're looking at guys who have PS3s, 360s, and live accounts, a completely level playing field, then it seems to me like the 360 wins.

Which is how it always is, with every damned release. And as said, the smaller the differences, the wilder the stream of tears and martyr blood becomes. The dude did, however, ask for a method for discounting the XBL advantage, and cost measured against individual needs and wants is a real argument. I don't personally give much of a damn about the actual cost itself, but as someone who don't particularly care about persistent community features (well, unless it's like MGO), a free basic service does win out over paying for community features.
That's really a matter of preference, and I can see why some would champion the Live system.
Core performance is a different matter though.

the weird thing is the XBL cost comes up time and time again. It's like we are having to pay for it for every single game that comes out. *baffle*



The cost came up this time because some dickwaver was asking for a rebuttal to the supposed dead certain superiority of the Live system. It's superior in terms of features, assuming you are willing to pay for those features. It's really amazing how expensive even a relatively cheap service can feel when its main defining strengths aren't of interest to the potential subscriber.

I wish MS and Sony would just get naked and produce an uber-console already. :(

Unless you want the community features, it's really not that incredible of a service. If the money went towards providing the most stable online gaming experience possible, sure. But with Live, you are paying for these community features.

Then again, I'm paying for Live and I don't even own a 360 right now.  :(

thanks for calling me dickwaver, asshole.  and yeah, there's no question about it-- Live is better. You can wrestle over the value of $50 all you want, but with the way PSN works, fuck it, I'll drop $50 for a fully integrated online component (not that I've ever paid full price for a year of live, but that's a different story.) 

If fully functional in-game XMB ever happens, sure, then I'll concede. but just as much as Live's price is a factor, PSN's shittiness is a factor to some people.  People who don't wonder "well, is live really worth 3 weeks of my allowance..."   

Screw the theoretical/supposedly "objective" analysis bullshit.  This is all pre-emptive damage control for NPD day.  Which is why all these little rules for determining the better version are suddenly in place--make sure the PS3 version is considered the best, so when NPD day comes around and the Xbox version outsells it by some ridiculous number, there's a tiny little thread to hold on to.  It's gonna be a fucking bloodbath.

Huh? This doesn't have anything to do with NPD. That will be a drama of its own, but this isn't that. This is a matter of Sonytards reveling in suddenly having the "upper hand", and with a high profile game to boot.

I think people are mad that a half-Sony franchise's best version is on the 360 because of DLC.

They're overreacting when people who played both versions said the PS3 has pop-in as well.

Honestly dude, right now it'd appear more as if Xcunts just can not fucking accept that the PS3 has the edge this time around. I'm sure everyone with some sense expected both versions to have pop-in, so this new revelation that, dudes, the Ps3 has pop-in too, that's just your common cornspitting Xcod's way of cushioning the blow a bit. Of course the other camp is going to try and make a big deal out of it, this shit is stacks of gold in fantard currency.

you mean the dlc we know nothing about? very few gta3, vc and sa owners bought lc and vc stories so why are you acting as if it's something new that people dont care about shitty addons?

I've already said that I'm getting the PC version since I"m not a big GTA fan anyway.  If there is no PC version, then I guess the DLC might be a small factor in which version I get.  

Most likely, the DLC won't matter to me as much as better graphics & loading.

I just wish that the PS3 could upscale to 1080p as well as the 360.  The upscaling differences between the 2 systems are pretty noticeable on my 24" monitor.

Recently, I've been console gaming alot more on my monitor than on my TV so the 360's versatile scaling has been quite useful.

Also, your comparison of PSP ports to the 360 DLC isn't very relevant because those ports were going backwards from San Andreas while the DLC is using the same tech as the core GTA4 game.

I just realized this will be the first console GTA I will purchase.

I'll end up double-dipping on the PC version. :(

Odd that we've seen less self control from you in the GTA thread than in the masturbation competition thread. Would have sworn it would have been the other way around.

Something has to give. There's no "DON'T BUY GTA4" contest.

the weird thing is the XBL cost comes up time and time again. It's like we are having to pay for it for every single game that comes out. *baffle*




I payed 30 dollars and have XBL till 2011 April to be exact.  Sfags can bring it up all they want. They still dont even have xmb.

On top of that, any media from the press are compressed, unlike when you're actually playing the fucking game.

You're pretty desperate if you're counting individual pixels to prove to people that the PS3 version of this game is visually superior by a very thin margin, thin enough that nobody's gonna give a fuck when they get the game, PS3/360, because it's fucking GTA4.

They'd have to downscale the graphics for that not to happen.
Still, it never ever happened in Crackdown.

I remember a lot of people scoffed at Crackdown's presentation, but I thought it was an all around brilliant (and a damn attractive game too). Not sure if it would have worked for GTA IV, but clearly RTW made a good decision for its game. Prototype, which I'm like psycho gaga for at this point, could also have benefited from a more stylized approach, I think. It will be interesting to see where infamous lands.

Editor's note 02/19/08: After posting this review GameSpot found that load times in the review version of Lost Odyssey were significantly longer than those in the retail game. We have amended the review accordingly and regret the original error.

in short, it's possible, same goes for pirated copies.

I guess the weird thing here is that, well, it's a review copy. Why haven't reviewers made a bigger deal out of it? Open world games tend to get away with issues to a greater degree, but this seems pretty distracting as it actually affects how the game plays.


MS thought they would have the best performing version anyways, so they just sat back.

Rockstar claims that it received plenty of assistance from both Sony and MS though.

It could just be that this type of game is something the PS3 excels at. I mean, shouldn't it, considering all the CPU hype? It seems to generally fall short when comparing games that focus on smaller but more detailed areas.

Let's be real here.

The reason why it performs better on the PS3 is because of the standard HDD.

And the real reason, as speculated by many.

The PS3 version was having lots and lots of issues form the getgo, hence why they never ever showed it.

Sony send a team of ninjas in and optimized the fuck out of the code.

MS thought they would have the best performing version anyways, so they just sat back.

They'd have to downscale the graphics for that not to happen.
Still, it never ever happened in Crackdown.

I remember a lot of people scoffed at Crackdown's presentation, but I thought it was an all around brilliant (and a damn attractive game too). Not sure if it would have worked for GTA IV, but clearly RTW made a good decision for its game. Prototype, which I'm like psycho gaga for at this point, could also have benefited from a more stylized approach, I think. It will be interesting to see where infamous lands.


If Infamous turns out the way the say it will, it will be the PS3's crackdown.

Crackdown is still one of the best looking games this gen. Some people may not like the aesthetic, but technically, it can't be beat. That game has the best draw distance I have ever seen.
Crackdown is fucking gorgeous.  The simplistic cartoon design looks great and I guess it lends itself technically by allowing more simplistic textures.  It runs fucking great and the draw distance is amazing.  I love the game.

I need to check out Infamous.  Isn't that an MMO?  I thought it was.

Also, I'd say it's just the standard HDD for caching that helps the PS3.  Not to mention the fact that it's sub 720p which probably helped quite a bit with performance.  They probably dropped the res to get it stable and it just happened to help a great deal.  That would also be right in line with the "RSX Budge GPU" shit.

The pop-in issue is overblown. Maybe I'm just used to GTA having pop-in, but when I saw the videos I was just kind of like, "Oh, duh. Looks like the rest of the series". Also, I love the ZOMG GAME BREAKING DOOM TREE when it's one fucking tree in a huge game. So what?

Kinda defeats the purpose if you think about it.

Still, its gotta suck for Sony that MS is coming in and chipping away at them like this.

Ideally, MS would have nailed this generation, as that would have basically forced Sony into submission and acceptance of Microsoft software and services on future Playstation products. That would have been awesome. But they screwed up, I guess that's what a lack of genuine interest in a market does. I'm usually all for competition, but I'm not sure that this particular competition has been very good for gamers. Hopefully they can reach some agreement and give us one console with good hardware and software. Or at least some standardized format.

Of course it has been good for gamers.

Despite MS faults this gen, look what they forced Sony and Nintendo to do.

-Have online
-Had a DL games service
-Demos
-Voice chat

To name a few.

MS always said they just wanted to keep Sony at bay. I don't think their real intentions were to completely overtake sony. MS isn't stupid. They know that EU and JAP and extremley hard battles for them..

Perhaps. Competition has its upsides, I'm just sick of the multi-console shit in general, and then especially of each system having strengths and weaknesses.

As for MS, I just really don't think MS actually wants to be part of this. It felt forced to, and has in some ways done a great job (the Xbox ruled), but everything right now seems to point to a Microsoft trudging along in a market it doesn't seriously want to compete in, with a system it doesn't really want to have around, and a line-up that peaked and failed to deliver a "deathblow" to the competition. So yeah, ideally MS would have gotten Sony to a point where Sony would be forced to accept MS software and services, and we'd finally get our uber-console. I don't care if it'd cost me $1000, I just want one brilliant gaming platform.

I really kind of agree.  After 2007, it looks like MS stopped caring nearly as much.  Maybe they got too comfortable?  I don't know.  But they definitely don't have the same enthusiasm in 2008 that they did in 2007.  Hopefully they'll change that at E3.

I dunno.  Peter Moore, J.

It's not store wide to play Talladega Nights either.  You're insane.

You can't demo M-rated games in a GameStop unless the demo has been altered for public use.  You can't show movies that aren't PG-13 either.  You're not supposed to show movies anyway, your DVD player is for GameStop TV 24/7.

But Harrison didn't stop there. He made the dubious claim that "1080-progressive... is the true definition of HD," and this, coupled with the lack of an HD optical format, means that Microsoft "doesn't have true HD functionality." The Xbox 360 has a maximum output resolution of 1080i. As a result, Harrison says that "the HD era really only starts when we are on the market."

Confirmed by Gamespot:


The PS3 version can only be played after a mandatory install that takes around 10 minutes, and its load times are a little shorter and less frequent as a result.

Assuming that the game runs at 30fps, 360 gets 3,456,000 more pixels per second
That's 207,360,000 a minute
Or 12,441,600,000 an hour

And if the average game takes 30 hours then that's 373,248,000,000 pixels you're missing out on

But then again less popup, bububububu

damn straight.  Deciding which version looks better right now is kinda useless...that PC version can't come fast enough.  I was just playing Lost Planet today on my PC and compared to that, GTA is raping my eyes.  Still miles ahead of the block hands in San Andreas.

I don't think it's ugly at all, but it does have jaggies.

And the pop in is more like fade in, and is way better than SR. Maybe even better than Crackdown considering the level of detail.

So the guys at Beyond3d found out that the 360 ver. is running at 720p with 2x anti-aliasing. 

i'd hate to see what the 360 version would look like without it

this is an ugly game

A large part of it is that I don't like the art style one bit, just doesn't appeal to me

I picked up the PS3 version (regular) at Circuit City this morning and got the free $10 gift card which I used on the new Portishead album. There were probably ten other people there to get it, and it was about 6:4 in favor of the 360 version, which makes perfect sense, seeing how there are more 360 owners than PS3 owners.

The PS3 has some nice filters that kind of smooth things out, but overall it's a bit darker. 360 had a higher natural res if you're a big enough tool to have a TV to see it and looks a little brighter. I prefer the 360 look, but on the overall it's like a 2% difference. Buy the one you'd rather have. 360 had DLC, though.

The softness of the PS3 version is appearently from a filter thats being used (and can be turned off). Definitely turning that shit OFF

alright, i lied about that being my last post, but i've been reminded that there are better things than these stupid message boards i've wasted like 10 years of my life on -- music, sex, drugs, travel, people, sunshine. practically anything. fuck the internet. didn't do any acid. did some coke, smoked a lot of weed. but that's not really what it's about. let's see if my resolution holds. nb: i don't mean the native rendering resolution of gta 4 you SAD FUCKING BASTARDS WHO POPULATE THE HELL I'VE CHOSEN TO ESCAPE

Oh, well at least you're not dead. Was worried there for a sec.  :-[

If it's gonna be jaggy and sparkly, I'd rather it have a sharper picture overall.  That blurred/jaggy mix fucks with my eyes.

The new comparisons thread at GAF is hilarious.

F@lus:  "I consider myself one of the top3 framerate whore here :p and imho , the framerate is quite close between the 2....but i think ive saw more dips on 360. Yet the overall framerate sux and is nowhere near 30. still playable though"

Does he think that anyone would take his "unbiased" observations seriously?

X360 version all over aki - PS3 version? they didn't bother with. lol.

Lot's of very happy looking Japanese and Honkey's this lunchtime.
That actually seems rather odd to me simply because the PS3 is a region free system (unless GTAIV is region free).

i wonder if they simply just thought that Honkey = X360?

i mean, the vast majority of import games in stores are for the X360. The Ps3 selection is quite minimal right now.
Ha ha, that's possible, I suppose.  That almost seems logical.
