What, you are some kind of hardware authority now? Laughing

Do you have any insight in the gfx-engine being used? - no
Do you have any insight in how euphoria is used? - no
Do you have any insight in how developers use ps3 vs 360? - no
Do you have any insight in gaming coding at all? - no

If any of these are wrong, I´ll stand corrected.


i actually designed the xbox360's architecture. so yes i am the authority on the subject.


I´ll stand corrected! Razz

The 360 has a more powerful GPU period, it's a matter of how OVERALL resources are used though.

For the most part, games look the same and people who argue are using poor cable/resolution combinations

(ie; HDMI on one system and VGA on the other).

Bah. Motorcycles. It is true to life, even a lowspeed hit will knock you off your bike. . .but when the teether for "losing" the biker is so short, and there is no auto-lock on while riding one. . .the handling can get a TEENSY bit annoying. . .

Speaking of No Love Lost btw. . .if I could hotrod a car before I "lost" him. . .I'd just jump in that and run his ass over.

Damn I can't take it any more.. Sad I wanna play this game now, but still 4 days left... Sad I got fed up with these guesses whether the PS3 or the XboX360 version is the better... can anyone tell me which one has the better gfx??? I heard that PS3 version may have better light and shadow effetcs and better water reflections... Is this supposed to be true? Guess many of you've already played the game so you might be able to tell me the truth. Smile I'm not a 360 fanboy but I can't believe gta4 has actually a slightly better gfx on PS3... :\


I have read 3 reviews so far and they pretty much all say the same thing. The PS3 version has slightly better visuals due to better anti aliasing and less pop ins. Apparently the 360 colors are slightly more vivid but overall the PS3 has a slight edge in the GFX department.

Those are minor details though and you should have a great experience no matter the version you will get. Very Happy

I thought that xbox360 supported full screen anti aliasing and ps3 doesn't?

The framerate is quite low. I guess maybe its locked at around 30fps like other GTA games. But either way this game is still quite fun.

I have a question, why do the cars drive like crap? Is it because I need to gain driving skills like in SA?

Because the game takes more into account the change in road surface, Inclines, Declines, Curbs, Bumps, etc. That and the new physics engine means half the time your car doesn't seem to have any level of grip and some of the tires are airborne. Also a lot of the early cars seem to be tanks and they wanted to emphasize that by having the weight shift. They seemed to have extended the braking distances too because it takes a while to stop especially when the wheels lock.

But other then that most people suck ass at driving in car related games so I blame it on that. You can't just gun it everywhere you go in the game and expect to be in one piece.

EDIT: I personally like the driving mechanics, it makes you drive more careful/cautious rather then like a mad man. And it makes successfully driving like a mad man rewarding.

Yeah I prefer it this way too. The introduction of the physics engine has made the series alot more realistic and fun to play.

OMFG this game is way too realistic. The neighborhood I live in, is in the game LOL. In the game its called "Meadow Hills" but in real life its called "Forest Hills." Its quite fun terrorizing my boring neighborhood in GTA ahahaha Very Happy Very Happy

The game is worth a 10. If you rather dwell on some technical bullshit and not realize why it's got a 10, then I pity you.

Now, does anyone know if it's possible to get a haircut/shave in this game?

totally agree more of a 9/10 game than 10/10. I think its sad they took away the stuff from San Andreas. And about cars disapearing.... never saw it once. And iv completed the game. Used about 22 hours.
