GRAND THEFT AUTO IV FOR PS3: NOW AVAILABLE IN 630P - LULZ!!!

[hyp]

that's a PS3 exclusive feature curse.  it makes the game "look better" apparently.

[CurseoftheGods]

Guess I am picking up the 360 version then.

no

everything they could do because of the slightly lower res (better hdr, textures, more polygons etc etc) makes the game look better

Never gonna read this thread, ever.

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

The PS3, despite only running at 640P, has no anti-aliasing at all

Isn't it funny how Sony hyped up the PS3 as the only console capable of gaming in True HD?

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

this is an ugly game

[Van Cruncheon]

bobobobobobo WARMER COLORS

bobobobobobo INSTALL TO HD MEANS LESS "POP-IN"

bobobobobobo sfag tears run like the ganges

[Bloodwake]

Still looks good to me.

I'd rather have it at a lower res with less load times rather than have annoying popup items fuck me over all the time ingame.

[Van Cruncheon]

there's no pop-in if you have a newer 360 with a decent drive

dirty poors weep

[Eel O'Brian]

i don't notice any pop-in because i can't see past the ugly

[Powerslave]

you're not my pal, guy

[demi]

I see stuff fade in as I drive, but I figure that's part of the whole streaming media thing

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.

[Powerslave]

San Andreas didn't have block hands wtf dude

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

[Don Flamenco]

whoops, I didn't mean block hands like FFVII.  I meant "blocky" hands. 

[Bloodwake]

Getting the PS3 version since I don't have XBL ;_;

seriously.  GTA4 is fucking poop smeared on your thousand dollar  HDTV.

[TVC15]

I am gonna hump hump Cajole's ass in 720p

[Rman]

I saw the new comparison thread at GAF and the PS3 version looks a bit blurry to me.

[hyp]

that's the beauty of upscaling.  blurs out the finer nasty details!

[calcifer]

looks nicer but this is just as broken as every other gta and i will never ever play it again

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.

[Mupepe]

so seriously, all trolling aside, which version looks better?  i just made the decision that i'll be picking it up after work, but i don't know if i should get it for the 360 or ps3

[GilloD]

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.

[Bloodwake]

Uh, wasn't the 630p debunked on GAF?

Thought it was.

[BlueTsunami]

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

[Mupepe]

got the 360 version.  achievements did it.

Uh, wasn't the 630p debunked on GAF?

not that i saw

yup, it was debunked.  it's actually 640p.

[Smooth Groove]

[Flannel Boy]

The Vaseline filter is revolutionary! PERFECT TEN!

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Honestly, the differences look so ridiculously small that I gotta laugh at all the people getting their panties in a bunch over this.

[CajoleJuice]

Both of them look like shit.

[Oblivion]

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. 


Still, of all posters, I didn't think you would be the one to succumb to such a meltdown. On Evilbore, no less!

I gotta check that out. 

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.

update: 640p and no aa.

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?

[MCD]

new thread...?

oh, sticky.

someone post the links and end it, they are still debating whether ps3 got aa or not 

[AdmiralViscen]

i'll do it

[pilonv1]

import stores?

has it even got a date in japan?

[MCD]

capcom publish gta series in japan, so far i heard nothing about gta4.

[MrAngryFace]

maybe capcom will swoop in and fix the buggy mess

How is it possible that the PS3 version is considered the "better" version almost unanimously by the media?

[dark1x]

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).

because it is?

slightly lower res allowed for much better graphics

Wow, this motorcycle chase mission is fucking awesome. Next gen has truly arrived
