PS3 version of GTA4 is confirmed to be superior

i repeat CONFIRMED

http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-...

"For those wanting to know which version looks better, the edge goes to the PS3. The textures and framerate are comparable, but the PS3 has far less pop-in. The 360 has richer colors, but the PS3 has better anti-aliasing making it look a little cleaner. Because GTA IV can preload onto the PS3 hard drive, the in-game loads are faster. Don't worry Xbox owners, the load times are rarely more than 30 seconds and don't occur very often. The slight visual edge goes to PS3, but the 360 is no slouch. Either version will do you proud".

X360 version has FR dips too . more frequent than the PS3 version
"Past GTA titles have had mild-to-serious framerate issues and technical glitches, because the games were trying to do far more than the PlayStation 2 could handle. While GTA IV is pushing the PS3 and 360 to the limit, it also runs amazingly well. Sure, there are framerate hitches here and there and (particularly on 360) there is some texture pop-in, but it actually runs better than I expected. That a game with great AI, an awesome physics engine and a detailed open world runs so well and with such short load times is a technical marvel. For that, I can forgive framerate issues and some noticeable aliasing. "

PS3 runs slightly better because of HDD installs the 360 has higher resolutions and is more vibrant. Folks are ignoring this fact the 360 version runs at a higher rez because they don't wan't to piss off the rabid Sony fanboys. IGN also said Assasin's Creed was the same all around and that DMC was the same all Around, they also said Dark Sector was better on PS3 when it wasn't. We'll see I don't doubt the HDD install effects like framerate and pop-in but I doubt PS3 looks better though .

Watch when that EURO person does the comparisons PS3 vs 360 round $%^#; there will be detail like cracks in bricks etc missing out of the PS3 version.

and I suppose you mean me?, well I'm not doing comparisions, I'm just correcting your lies.

"PS3 runs slightly better because of HDD installs"

Just to let everybody know that this isn't because of DVD being faster (it is in single-layer, but not dual-layer), Uncharted had NO install, looked and ran great.

"Folks are ignoring this fact the 360 version runs at a higher rez because they don't wan't to piss off the rabid Sony fanboys"

hmm

Halo 3 = 640p
COD4 = 600p

To name a couple. Like I said in another article, the 360 struggles to keep games running at a stable frame rate on intense games, therefore it CANNOT go at a higher resolution, or you would have to enjoy playing the game at 1fps.

and to say the least, thanks to TheREALHarryEtTubMan, Insomniac has a bit of news for you

"8. PS3 Has a Major CPU Advantage
The GPUs on the Xbox 360 and PS3 are roughly equivalent, with the Xbox 360 arguably having a slight edge. The difference in CPU power, however, is far greater with the PS3 enjoying the advantage. The PS3’s eight parallel CPUs (one primary “PPU” and seven Cell processors) give it potentially far more computing power than the three parallel CPUs in the Xbox 360. Just about any tech programmer will tell you that the PS3’s CPUs are significantly more powerful. The problem is that it has been challenging thus far to take advantage of the Cell’s parallel architecture.

With the PS2, Sony got away with making a fairly developer-unfriendly system, and its success allowed their hardware designers to ignore developer’s complaints as they made the PS3. People high up at Sony have realized that approach simply won’t work anymore and are trying to fix the problem. Sony is actively improving their libraries, tools and developer support in order to make PS3 development easier. They are giving first party developed techniques and code to third-party developers so that multi-platform games should start looking better on PS3.

Games developed from the ground up on PS3 are the ones that will really show off the PS3’s CPU advantage. The complexity of the distributed processing architecture means that PS3 engines won’t fully blossom until a little later in the lifecycle than the PS2. This has put the PS3 at a disadvantage early in its lifecycle, but within two years you will see games that surpass what is possible on the Xbox 360."

"IGN said the 360 version ran at a higher rez etc in their after review podcast, they left it out of the review on purpose"

If the 360 runs at a higher resolution (which I doubt), so will the PS3.

I heard their both upscaled from 720p anyway.

oh and look what I found...

Agree(1) | Disagree(1) | Report

Gam71 - 601 days 20 hours ago

Yeah it's upscaled on the ps3 to 1080p
Whats your point?
That feature has to be programmed in and can hit the frame rate on ps3 dark sector on the ps3 is

"However, in order to keep the speed up, Digital Extremes has followed Bungie's example by running Dark Sector PS3 at a reduced, anamorphic 1152x640 resolution, which is then scaled up to native 720p - exactly like Halo 3. The Xbox 360 version on the other hand is confirmed as native HD."
http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

and dont forget

"While the PS3 game never reaches the slideshow-like extremities of the genuinely appalling Blacksite, you still can't help but get the feeling that you're missing a lot of the action due to the ever-changing refresh rate. Matters aren't helped if you have your PlayStation 3 hooked up to a 1080p display. Yes, there's in-game upscaling (which looks pretty good) but it introduces another performance hit (albeit minor) to an already sloth-like frame-rate - yet another reason to have your XMB set to 720p even if you have a 1080p display."

frontlines fuel of war

so if you set gta to 1080p on ps3 there could be a performance hit whereas all 360 games upscale due to dedicated hardware so no performance hit.

What was your point of that pic and comment?

"What was your point of that pic and comment?"

He said that the 360 version has a higher resolution, my point is the podcast actually said what resolution BOTH versions is at, not the 360 version is higher, I doubt it would handle it lol

Rockstar said early this month what the native resolution both versions are at.

"Rockstar also told us at this point that while the game will support 1080p, the game will only run in 720p natively"

http://uk.gamespot.com/ps3/...

Your quote about Dark Sector has nothing to prove that the PS3 is weaker than the 360, it's Digital Extremes first PS3 game, so isn't it likely that they will have problems?, and it seems that Bungie's example is that they had similar issues with Halo 3? rofl, it's funny that WarDevil is said to be 1080p @ 60fps using their RTE1080 engine, and no doubt it will be intense, it's also funny that the game was coming to the 360 too before it was canned....wonder why?

"We know the game uses a new and sophisticated gaming engine called RTE1080 (real time engine) which allows for 1080p resolution at 60fps"

http://www.psu.com/Wardevil...

Your other quote still does not mean that the PS3 is bad, I believe that is Soldier of Fortune Payback?, seeing as you putted in Frontlines lol, again, 1st PS3 game by the developer Cauldron HQ, but it does not mean that other games will be affected by this. Now I want you to give me a PS3 exclusive game that's released, that has had similar issues with your 2 quotes.

"360 games upscale due to dedicated hardware so no performance hit"

Well that's funny, Mass Effect upscales yes?, which has frame rate issues, pop-in issues, loading times etc, and your saying theres no performance hit? lol, them issues seems familiar with GTA IV lol.

"so if you set gta to 1080p on ps3 there could be a performance hit"

Well you could be right, but with the game I mentioned (WarDevil), I don't know.

Sometimes its because of who's saying it, because they might have a slight leaning towards one console, or the person thinks they do.

Like ants to sugar you just always show up spewing the same brain waist.

GTA:IV Looks better on PS3 - Sharper, AA etc
GTA:IV Runs better on PS3 - better framerate and faster load times etc

No self respecting gamer takes a internet review to be law as they are all done by gamers like ourselves thus making them opinion. However one can get a better understanding based on multiple reviews. i.e. IGN and EGM stating the PS3 version as the better version. You shouldn't get so upset when you don't agree with a reviews opinion as it won't change the it.

"This will be the last time I'll talk to you my friend, friggin calling me out wothout replying to me personally."
