The PS3 version is hardly "better"
Goddamned fanboys (doesn't matter if you have both systems if thats how you are going to act )
The graphics on the PS3 are nowhere near that much "better" to warrant some you assholes brushing off the 360 version like the lesser of the two, our touting the PS3 as some kind of winner, like this is a contest.
- It runs at a lower resolution on the PS3, allowing more and stronger filters to be used but at the cost of the overall sharpness and clarity of the image.
- The "painted" effect of some textures is a little muddier at times on the PS3, and the image appears slightly darker (unless you play around with the settings).
- The 360 has a sharper, slightly brighter (still dark as fuck), vibrant appearance (I dunno what this shit is about the PS3 being "more vibrant", yes, the colors are sometimes deeper or more saturated and darker, but in many instances that leads to an overall darker, muddier image when combined with the lack of sharpness and stronger filters, and I've seen and played both versions on the same LCDs just to see a difference)
- It runs at 720p on the 360 (a trade-off resulting in a few more jaggies and scaled down filters i.e. 'noisy' shadows)
- The 360 has more pop in in some situations, and slightly longer loading times (though the initial loading time on the ps3 is actually a bit longer) Neither of which detracts that much from the actual presentation of the game, just like the PS3s shitty resolution doesn't detract from it either.
- I'll take the 360s tighter joysticks and their placement and the triggers over the PS3's loose sticks and marshmallow L2/R2 any day. But thats a matter of preference.
- Microsoft's XBoxLive integration and stability > PSN with R*
- Exclusive DLC > little or no DLC
- Having achievements (Something else to play certain aspects of the game for. Something to compete with among friends and the ...get this, "online community" with. And something giving you a reason to go after certain shit that has no real purpose at all on PS3 outside of the game's built in stats) > no achievements, even if YOU personally think they are worthless and stupid.
So far all my friends with PS3 versions say the 360 version looks better to them, I actually like the look of the PS3 version myself, mainly because of less pop in and i like the kind of hazy filtered look, though i have it for 360 and wouldnt think of trading it in.
So but shut the fuck up with this "zOmG!1 GTAIV PS3 is somuch betterz!!!1 Face it 360 fanboiszz1!" bullshit.
