Grand Theft Auto IV, face to face.

The spanish website Meristation makes a comparison between the 360 and PS3 versions of the GTAIV game. The comparison takes into consideration all of the aspects of the game.

It afirms that the PS3 version of the game has superior AA filter, better HDR, less loading, better controls (with great use of the Sixaxis) and solves the framerate drops without any difficulty, contrary to the 360 version which this causes a little more problem.

While the 360 version has Downloadable content and achievements, not available on the PS3 version.

In the end, the article goes to say that, if you have the option, go for the PS3 version.

Translated version on the Credit URL.

[butterfinger]

buy the game, period. If you have a 360 or a PS3 you are really missing out if you don't pick this title up. This is not a rental either, this is a must buy:P Even if you're not all that into sandbox games, you should pick this one up.

[Porky Pig]

But this comparison was still very good,as it definitely shows why the Ps3 version is considered by even Rockstar themselves,to be the superior version.I have both versions so I've known this since day 1,and I would've done a comparison showing the better lighting and less pop-up on the Ps3 version,but I don't have a way to capture still images/video directly from the consoles

All in all,the Ps3 gets the better version this time.Let's leave it at that

And th-th-th-that's all folks!

[sonarus]

lol @ meriSTATION supporting playSTATION

[Diugu]

Meristation has nothing to do with Playstation.

This website/magazine is most certainly unbiased. I have followed them since I've first started to look for news concerning games on the internet and I have come across numerous criticism towards the PS3 and the Xbox 360 and also found many praises to both on this website.

I consider them to be one of the final websites of the media to be unbiased. Most of the videogame "journalists" out there are clearly biased, this is not the case.

This is one game review, if you look further on the site you will be able to encounter several reviews in which they criticize the PS3 games heavily.

They have always been able to show the flaws and the qualities of all consoles through long research and by having a serious approach to gaming journalism.

To conclude I would like to state that I am in no way affiliated to this website, I am Brazilian and Meristation is Spanish, but I admire their work and I am always looking for other sites that provide unbiased information.
I would appreciate if any of you have suggestions.

[theKiller]

maybe PSU.com?? they r for sony but they aren't bias i think!

i cant wait till i have my ps3 and GTA4 and MGS4!! 400EU is still a lot for me at this point!

EDIT

ur welcome bubble for u too!

[Kojima touches kids]

I leave this site for a 2 weeks and come back to the same old lies.

Fact: PS3 GTA has slightly better loading times
Fact: PS3 GTA has less pop-in
Fact: PS3 has no AA

Everything else is a complete lie.

FACT: THE 360 VERSION OF GTA HAS BETTER GRAPHICS, AUDIO OPTIONS, RESOLUTION, FRAMERATE AND ONLINE PLAY.

Also the fact that they mentioned AA in the PS3 version, means anyone that agreed with this rubbish now looks like an idiot.

[Diugu]

I already know PSU. I enjoy reading it, but it is a specialized website.

Anyway, thank you for taking the time to make a suggestion. Bubbles for you!

[sonarus]

Well i don't speak spanish so i don't know but i have to believe they are supporting sony more since they are from EU and also carrying station in their name

[theKiller]

dont believe everything u read!

[Amanosenpai]

Meristation is well known as an X box supporter site...

I'm impressed with their conclusion...

@Sonarus... i speak Spanish... and believe me, many Spaniard users hate this mag, specially ps3 users.

[Diugu]

Well, I've seen them praise the PS3 capabilities many times as I've seen them praise the 360. They also speak poorly of them on certain areas.

I only own a PS3 and I've never felt any kind of hate from them. Also, against some of my personal belief I've noticed them praising the xbox on areas I disagree, maybe that is why the hate from PS3 owners.

Given that, I do see them as unbiased. Mainly because they always show their means to reach some conclusions, which gives them more credibility. They always make a profound research before publishing.

[Tarasque]

Well i have to somewhat disagree with the article. I have played both version's side by side. Ps3 does have little less pop up's but the lack of detail compared to 360 version is a quite a bit less, i think due to the fact the ps3 version use's blurr to make it look smooth and it loose's detail cause of it. And the lose of deatil get's worse at farther distance's. There has been quite a few video's that have showed this. And far as framrate goes i think it is about equal maybe slight edge to the 360 version also. Due to the fact that the explosion's on the ps3 render's a very bad framerate. And far as loadtime's goes well the 360 doesn't have to do a install so an extra sec or 2 of loadtime is not noticable. I understand that most people on here will disagree, well mainly the ps3 only owner's. We shouldn't listen to anyone on here that doesn't own all 3 and doesn't make valid point's.

[lessthanmarcus]

And I went for the PS3 version. My 360 is only meant for FPS's

[Sez]

wow i guess frame rate and texture pop ins are more annoying than freezing and online problems that are more common on the ps3 version. i mean both games have frame rate issues and texture pop-ins. but the suffers more issue with freezing and online. sounds a little bias to me.oh well no worries i have the game for the 360. can't wait for the DLC by the end of summer.

[omni_atlas]

No freezes for me yet and I'm about 30 % through the game. Those that do, have been able to work around the situation by disabling PSN. A patch will be issued by Rockstar soon. I rather have a freeze in a game then take RROD anyday.

[Porky Pig]

The ironic part?Though the majority of the gaming media are trying to pin the freezing problem on the Ps3 version,I haven't encountered a single freeze or hiccup on the Ps3 (including gameplay,Online,AND cutscenes)yet have had problems getting past the INTRO screen on the 360 version

And th-th-th-that's all folks!

[Kojima touches kids]

The news that the freezing issue is happening on both consoles is a lie. The only people that have so called 'freezing' issues are recently created accounts on pro Sony news sites like this.

Nobody reputable in the gaming industry (developers/journalists/websit es) has experienced 'freezing' issues on their 360's. This was clearly a poor attempt by certain people to cast a shadow over the successful launch of GTA on the 360.

The fact your account has only been active for 13 days makes your lies even more transparent.

[LegendKillar]

i havn't really had any framerate issues on my 360 version, and from most reviews i hear the sixaxis controls suck.

[thehitman]

Used the sixaxis besides for reloading which I think is the only useful part. Everything else its easier to use the analog since u have more control over analog. But its cool using it to reload since in the game its a pain to reload since square is used for shyt like jumping and things.

[BLuKhaos]

Actually hitman the circle button is the reload button.

[Mozilla89]

I use the six axis controls for reloading too, it just seems natural and its better than having to press circle the rest are okay. The only other one i might use if for is the boats. Bulkhaos you can turn on six axis reloading from the start menu.

As for the comparisons well I havent seen the 360 version in action but I do know some of them did have problems. One of my friends doesnt turn on until he puts the disc in three times. Then again we think its his 360 so he's going to send it in...again. Sorry I couldnt help it but hey I'll admit GTA wouldnt get past the loading screen for my ps3 (40 gig) if I didnt get offline.

[Mr_Bun]

Am I the only one tired of hearing about which it is better on? I have a PS3 and I don't care which it looks/plays/loads better on...I only care about playing it. The games rocks and I am sure that it is equally cool on the 360. Unless you have both consoles, just buy for whichever one you have and have a blast like everyone else!

[Nevers]

... weeks before it even launched. Can't wait til we get ACTUAL HONEST TO GOODNESS NEWS instead of these insignificant editorials and opinions designed only to get a buncha nerds ready to throw down over something completely inconsequential.

"Better HDR"??? ummm, neither game has HDR LOL. dumbass. this is almost as hilarious as the paid-off morons claiming it looks "sharper" on PS3 LOL. and SD game looking "sharper" than an HD game? lol no. go look at the comparisons.

[edhe]

Innacurate article proven by the AA pattern. Been proven already that there is no AA, just lower resolution upscale smudge.

[Electricear]

Most if not all videos I've seen links for on these forums have been shrunk down from 720p thus are inaccurate to judge the AA quality. The only time I saw full resolution comparisons were in single screen shots, and they clearly showed more AA on the ps3 version. I even pointed out where the AA was occurring, and why it couldn't have been an artifact of upscaling.

I've linked to one of the full resolution images thats most revealing below. I'll point out areas where the ps3 clearly shows better AA than the 360 and is more or less proof that the ps3 version is not upscaled, but AA. Ok first look at the credits on the left of the image. The "o" in "Dukos" specifically is hard to tell if it's an O or an e on the 360 version even though it's clearly a "o" on the PS3. This is because the ps3's version has AA, and the 360 version either does not, or has a lower amount. To show that AA isn't always a good thing the third line down. The "e" in the word "Lead" is identifiable as an "e" on the 360 where as on the ps3 version the AA from the two lighter colors surrounding the thin sliver that would be the background hold more weight in the super sampling so the mid-tone blend is virtually lost making it look kind of like a distorted "o."

I pointed out the light on the right hand side of the image in my prior post. That light clearly has no AA on the 360 version, but does have AA on the ps3 version as the lower side has a shaded half step that, and both versions have an identical step count. If the ps3 version were scaled up it would not have an identical step count or a shaded mid step. Lets look at the plate, the table, and the front chair on the left side of the image. The 360 shows a clear stair step pattern on the edge of the table where the ps3 versions AA makes it look like a smooth edge. The chair's seat also shows the same thing. The plate on the 360 doesn't convey as clean an oval shape as it does on the ps3 version. All these areas clearly show that the ps3 version is not upscaled, but instead has cleaner AA.

Some other areas to look at are his collar, and the stair runs. So this all raises the question why then does the ps3 version look blurrier? It's not an artifact of upscaling, but a byproduct of the AA. Maya's mental ray does this if you use it's production settings left at their defaults. I suspect that the AA routine they used in GTA IV lacks things like a contrast ratio (the threshold of contrast two pixels have to exceed to invoke super-sampling) in order to streamlined the real time AA speed. By not including such a routine even subtle elements that don't need AA get it causing the image to soften. This can be seen in areas such as his hair line which looses some of it's subtle detail on the ps3.

EDIT: The attaching process scaled the image, so here is a link to the original,
http://static.videogamer.co...

[Electricear]

does not know anything about anti-aliasing. Opinions are one thing, but I posted a link with physical evidence from a review that claimed that the ps3 didn't have anti-aliasing as well, and yet the image speaks other wise; however, as it is obvious some people are ignorantly clicking on disagree with out actually understanding what AA is, here is a link to wikipedia to try and help educate people. http://en.wikipedia.org/wik... I can only hope that whom ever clicked disagree just didn't understand, else I'll have to chalk it up to them being a fanboy.

[Jeromejones]

its good to see the end of this long chapter. Xbots, dont worry tho, u can go right up to the tv and find those extra 80p worth of pixels.

X360 version has jaggies and pop-ins and is unplayable

GTA4 was ported from X360 to PS3 and yet it looks better on PS3

Here is what the reviewers said:-

Swedish gaming mag Gamereactor said that there are MAJOR DIFFERENCES between the 2 version

http://www.gamereactor.se/r...
Swedish Gamereactor mentioned in their 10/10 review that they were pretty surprised regarding the difference between the PS3 and 360-versions. The PS3-version features better colours, contrast, load times and what looks to be better resolution textures. The game also looks sharper and has a more stable fps.

IGN

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. "

http://www.n4g.com/NewsPend...

EGM "PS3 version looks slightly more vibrant and sharp "

GAMESRADAR

http://www.gamesradar.com/x...

"Occasional pop-up".........ONLY IN X360 version of GTA4

http://xs226.xs.to/xs226/08...

So happy that i own a PS3

GAMESRADAR also confirms that PS3 version is SUPERIOR

"While the PS3 and 360 versions of the game are functionally identical, the PS3's visuals sport noticeably smoother edges, along with a warmer color palette that makes everything look slightly more realistic. If you're looking to compare Accomplishments with your Achievement-hoarding friends, though, forget it - GTA IV ignores these half-assed consolation prizes altogether. PS3 owners also have to put up with a nearly eight-minute installation the first time they start the game, which puts the normally slower Blu-ray load times on par with the Xbox 360 version. (That is, unless it's running on a 360 with no hard drive, which we're told will face much longer loads.)"

Lol I dont need confirmation from 20 websites that Sony PS3 version of GTA4 is superior.

ROCKSTAR, the guys behind the game, is OFFICIAL source and thousand times more credible than all these sites bundled together.

And they have clearly said so on many occasion that the PS3 version is the BEST one yet. It takes a fking moron to think Gametrailers is correct but Rockstar (the guys who made the game) are incorrect.

So whats it gonna be, xbots. Fking moronic or what?

[green]

I dont speak spanish.Anyway buy which ever version you want.They are both great

[celticlonewolf]

Enough of these already to make up our minds if you have both consoles on which one to get? All of the head to head we have seen with our own eyes and we have had plenty on this site from screen shots to vids(not like this one which just talk about it) and we have seen hardly no diff between the 2. I have seen no pop ins(I was expecting something like mass effect great game by the way) what so ever with the 360. Frame rate seems great on both considering on just how much sh#t can go on in both games at once. Let this go already and enjoy the game which ever system you have.

[flexbox360]

y r people so insecure about the version they have? its good on both consoles, just play the damn game. fanboys will go to the end of the earth to find some news even in other languages just to say their version is superior. come , u need to grow up.

Look at how the XBUTTS are twisting tales there. None of them own a PS3 , yet they come up with fantasy stories about trading SUPERIOR version of GTA4 PS3 with GTA4 X360 with jaggies /pop ins and washed out colors

[Official General]

Why can't these 360 guys and everyone else just accept that the PS3 version of GTA 4 is the slightly better version? It has been stated numerous times by many credible websites like IGN, Gamesradar, 1UP and EGM that the PS3 has slightly better graphics, AA, framerates and less pop-in than the 360 version. But you still get these silly nerdy internet punks trying to hate on the PS3 by doing worthless pixel counts on a PC screen by spreading rumors that the the PS3 version is 640p. Rockstar confirmed that the PS3 version supports 720p natively and 1080p which is also stated on the on the back of the box. My HD TV plays the PS3 version of GTA 4 in 720p. I'll accept that rather than some online geek A-hole. So stop the hating and live with it. It doesn't mean that the 360 version is not good, it obviously still looks great. It's just that the PS3 version is slightly better thats all.

NOW PLAY THE DAMN GAME BECAUSE IT'S ONE AMAZING GAME!!!!

It's just nice to know I am playing the best version of this game (on the PS3), even if the differences are minor.

[Leathersoup]

I'd like to remind everyone that due to the variable weather in this game. Pointing out the differences between the game running on 2 separate consoles doesn't work so well.
In the screenshot by the 69th Street Diner they didn't even bother to make sure the time of day was the same.

[thehitman]

I noticed that in almost all the comparisons that they arent really reliable since there all at different times of day, which doesnt really help at all.

[power of Green]

None sense there's been around 10 stories with proof in detail that says these guy's are full of sh*t. Sounds like the BS they were telling Sony fanboys just before launch.

Wouldn't pay this Sony fanboy morale piece any mind.

These fucers are late to the party they didn't get the memo, they have no idea how fast the media and fanboys destroyed that *PS3 version is superior* Bullshit over here.

The 360 is more powerful and better suited for games.

I was wondering why no one was in here.

EDIT Below:

You've missed the flood of reviewers and techies findings; these guys don't have anything to lose and have shown their proof pieces after the game launched?. You're talking about the *payed* launch hype BS I'm talking about the flood of video comparisons and pics and articles that came out ofter the *payed* or *fearful* launch reviews.
(The big reviwers were not truthful but the PS3 fanboys would have cause this industry to implode so I forgive them)

We already been blasted by tons of video's and pics we've seen with our own eyes even most Sony fanboys admitt the PS3 version does not have the edge visually.

[Mr_Potato_]

Numerous serious sites reported that the PS3 version was the best one. Even Rockstar admitted it...

Maybe we can stop talking about that now (the 360 is still nice after all) and enjoy the game.

I'm new to this game. My question is, when does it become more than "fetch" quests? Granted, I've only been playing for about 2 hours. But so far it's "go get some clothes", "drive to point A", etc..... I'm not doubting the game is great, but when?

[bym051d]

Beyond3D was pretty sure the PS3 version has *no* AA.

[RAM MAGNUMS]

You shouldnt go by what the intenet site say is the best. If you have a friend that has a hd tv like yours or can bring the ps3 or xbox to your house, then do it like that.

Ive seen both version with my own eyes. Honestly the few differences in difference is: The first thing you notice is the color, Who really cares but the ps3 looks realer. 2nd thing you notice is the pop up. Xbox kinda surprised you alot with pop ups but the ps3- it just performs better you have hardly any pop ups. They are there but you have to be paying attention to something else intead of the road or traffic or the mission to see it. The 3rd thing you really notice is the loading times in between stuff. The ps3 has a 1. 2. 3 load & the Xbox is Like 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12.13. 14.15. O.k. here we go!
Lastly Ive noticed that the online performs just like the game but the xbox has connections problems & when you do get a room it chuggs alot when cops and players are in 1 spot. Ps3 Smooth, no pop ups little to none lag. But it could just be the intenet connection.

Still its the same game, the ps3 is missing in game chat cross game & In game music, in game messaging & Achievements & Dlc.

So the preference comes in do you want to play a vigilante Simulator or you wanna play with friends in a cartoon movie on adult swim?

[cliffbo]

how can anyone condemn a game for having a Sixaxis 'option'. yes that's 'option'! you can play it without the Sixaxis. the point is it's there, even if fundamentally it's broken. if you don't like it, don't use it! as far as which version is best... it's about time the PS3 owners had something to be happy about, the 360 has had many games that are better than the PS3 version. the trouble with 360 owners is they want their cake and eat it. it's only going to get worse for you in the coming months, when more Blu-ray games hit the 25 - 50GB size and games get improved because of a standard hard drive... and that's not even taking into consideration the fact that many more devs are beginning to understand what Cell/RSX combined can do. expect better AI, Bigger environments and more on screen at once. yes this may sound very fanboyish, but i'm affraid it's going to happen

[devilhunterx]

Interesting read

http://forums.gametrailers....

[InMyOpinion]

Spanish website named MeriStation. Spain is Playstationland, and the name of the site tells us that they favor the PS3 from the get go. Biased indeed.

If they mean better AA by being blurry, then I guess the PS3 version is superior. If you, like me, want your next gen games to look crisp and sharp the 360 version is the one to get. They are trying to make the 360 version look worse by taking screenshots at different times of the day, 360 morning while PS3 is early evening etc.

The funny thing is that you can still see which version is sharper. The PS3 version has more jaggies and looks like they moved the camera while taking the screenshots(blurrier). I guess that's the 'vaseline' effect I've been hearing about lately.

The custom soundtrack option, one of many features that give the 360 version the advantage, is a must for this game. Since there is no real metal channel I made my own "radio channel" by ripping tunes I enjoy. They work just like the other radio stations in the game, which is sweet. By that I mean they only play while you are in a vehicle.

I could go on but I decided to only mention the features that are of most importance to me.

PS - It doesn't lock up + the 360's limited edition has Niko Bellic on it, not some silly b*tch like the PS3's.

[Kleptic]

then apparently every other site is also "playstationland" dude...

nearly EVERYONE pointed to the PS3 version getting the superior version...it was only a forum post about it being slightly less resolution (of which not a single review mentioned, and in a lot cases determined it as sharper) that gave the 360 side ammo...

watch the videos...see for yourself...if you like stuff tinted blue like the real world in the matrix...get the 360 version...if you like it to look more realistic...get the PS3 version...I am not saying the 360 version looks bad...only saying it looks different...a lot of reviewers 'prefer' the PS3 version...just let it go...

[InMyOpinion]

I have watched all video and screenshot comparisons I have been able to find so I don't get your point.

Tinted in blue? The only difference between the versions is that the PS3 version is blurrier and has colors that blend into each other.

when was LA Noire a PS3 exclusive?...just asking, I never saw that confirmed...

the only thing I ever remember being confirmed was Rockstar working on 2 different exclusive games for the PS3, one of which was a new IP...one was a 'western sequel'...which was speculated to be RDR 2 or something...

LA Noire was a PS3 exclusive all along. That's one of the games that the PS3 had that I wanted to come to the 360, so I'm pretty excited.

As far as RDR 2, I haven't heard to much on it. I'm not sure what the PS3 exclusives are.

LOL @ Angrytypingguy.

Did you even look at the date of this article? Its dated 16/06/2007.

Read the bit about when GTA IV is going to be released.

"GTA IV will launch on both consoles on October 19."

Lmao too funny.

They forgot to mention that the AA issue only applies if you are playing on a SDTV.... I have both versions and in HD, the 360 actually has decent AA, where as the PS3 looks way more jaggy because of no flicker filter or AA in High Def. They should do their research before making these claims that PS3 has better AA, when it is obviously based on standard definition only. Now if you are comparing them in SD only, then yeah the PS3's flicker filter will only make it look less jaggy in 480i. The pop-in on 360 has actually caused me to die or be trapped before though, its pretty bad driving into an alley you think is empty only to have tables pop-in all around you.

Having both I would say they are similar enough that anyone should be happy with either version. I play both about equally, they each have their good and bad points. Hopefully they will fix the multiplayer rank reset issue on PSN, but I'm sure they will since nearly every game on PS3 with a ranking system had that issue at first.

I have a question for PS3 owners of grand theft auto, no flaming here please. Is the sixaxis actually any good for driving in GTA because i have found it is challenging just using the sticks? I imagine the sticks would be easier, a little more control?

It's pretty usless with every thing but the helicopter. A lot of my freinds claim they fly better with it on. Whats more important to this debate is the fact that your cell phone in GTA Ps3 packs the social tools in live. It allows you to invite friends into the game, call freinds in the game. Something the Ps3 lacks.

It should be in every gamers library, pick up the copy on the console where you have youre friends to play online..

this website has the balls to say the facts streight without being afraid to anger one side. if more sites acted on their own opinion and not thinking what fanboys gonna say, gaming news/reviews would actually matter to me.

I must admit I really dont lke the 360 graphcs they are too edgy..why could they not smooth it out like the PS3? I hope the PC version looks more like the PS3.. anyway GTAIV is still a great game whatever.

[Cop_Boy]

GTA IV was certainly over hyped , well at least the 360 version was !! ;)

Looks like the 360 has it!

[sleepbox]

These arguments are pointless but if you really take it for what it's worth, the 360 has:

better framerate
no freezing
custom soundtracks
MUCH better online multiplayer
future DLC that is going to be exclusive and rock our socks off

PS3 has:
Slightly better AA
freezing
slightly better popin
slightly better load times

Yea, you can see the best version there eh?

[Gantrfaxx]

Of course Ps3 version is superior, i expeceted nothing less. Achievements don't atract me and DLC is so far away, when it comes i'll be playing MGS, Little Big Planet, Motorstorm 2 or something else, i won't be playing GTA anymore

[jinn]

best experience on the 360
