Re: Let's talk about... Grand Theft Auto 4

IGN has a head-to-head video up.

Insiders only though.

I bet someone puts it up on youtube

This is a nice slice of gameplay.

Niko - "Is this **** legal"

Also, you can see some nasty pop-in about 10 seconds and a little over a minute into the video.

Ok, no question now, the PS3 is a lot brighter and cleaner looking, just wasn't his camera in that youtube video.

That "bad" eh?

Bummer...

Can't we adjust the colors/contrast/brightness in the menu with "sliders" like the guy in the vid is talking about?

No, actually, they aren't even noticeable IMO. It was a night shot for 360, day shot for PS3, that's why I deleted my comment, because they look identical for 99% of it.

360taku has a bias against the PS3... I'm a 360 fanboy but I won't deny that kotaku's bias eclipses mine

The journalist did say he preferred the PS3 version though...he did qualify it by saying he liked the PS3 controller better though.

Yeah i'm watching the head to head. It's not so bad and if I need to make the screen brighter for myself there's the sliders.

This discussion of which version is superior is hilarious- this isn't the only forum that I visit that has the same discussion happening. I'm happy that I think I've grown past these fickle debates.

Is it a cap in the feather of PS3 fanboys that some outlets said it looks better? Hey, if it makes you sleep better at night.

I'd be getting it for the 360 except for 2 reasons: a) I don't have much confidence in the console b) I'm afraid it's going to sound like a jet plane when playing (like ME and COD4)...the fan/dvd noise is greatly annoying and distracting.

What's sad is that this isn't just a little squabbling fight between fanboys, i think there's some legitimacy to it with it being 360's Live and faulty hardware vs. PS3's horrible online but much more trustworthy system.

I honestly just like knowing that 99% of the time my PS3 will work when I turn it on...I can't say that about the 360 and it sucks. I don't want to be halfway through GTA4 and get the 3 RROD.

The only big difference I've read about is pop in, and I could see how that would be nicer not to have.

well obviously there are going to be those blind fanboys on either side who beat this to death and blow everything out of proportion. It sucks because there are the people such as myself with both consoles that really are looking for OBJECTIVE opinions about which version looks better..

all things equal, the 360 version is going to be superior with the DLC in my opinion, but i'd still love to see some identical time/place/tv/etc screenshots from both versions to compare graphically

sleep? i don't think anybody's gonna have a good nights sleep until we all get to finally play whatever version of the game you get ...

i know I've been restless...

Re: Let's talk about... Grand Theft Auto 4

Hey, I own both consoles too. I just wish people would just concern themselves with what concerns them. It just seems like people on both sides of the aisle get concerned/worried when reviews say one or the other looks better.

Bottom line, who cares? Enjoy the damn game already. Oh well, just me venting here.
