The PS3 Version looks better.

Or you just see them that way. Release night I stood in line and made the decision on which version to get. PS3 or Xbox. Live, Achievements, My own music and downloadable content won that. Especially after reading that the graphical differences are negligible from every review and comparison published.

At least I own all 3 systems and don't just ride the cock of the one I own. I up play the one I like best.
 
Which is why I spend 3+ hours a day in the gym (except Wed and Sat.) and another 2 playing on my departments softball team. Evens it all out.
 
he can apparently bench 2 average wii owners too , his post do make me lol sometimes and i only reply seriously to the things he says so that the impressionable forum goers know that he doesnt know what hes talking about, becasue theres no reasoning with him. you could have bill gates himself come right up to his face and say "the ps3 is better, we fold, sony is the best company every" and he would still stand behind microsoft and his achivments.

Achivment Unlocked = Offically Certified Fanboy
 
xbox live is a great idea, and its drivin Sony and Nintendo to move thier online service further and i thank them for that. but achivments have done nothing be spawn achivment whores who spend there time trying to unlock more points for a score that has nothing to do with the game they just beat. rather then just playing the game.

overall gamerscore just makes you look like a nerd, i can track how often i play my xbox in general. plus there is no policing this so whats stoping a hardcore gamer renting kids games just to boost his score? nothing thus the gamer score is compramized. the gamer score should be game specific ONLY, your Orange Box gamer socre is = ? your halo gamer score is = ?. the overall score is just stupid.



you just said they add SOOOOOO Much more replay value and youd rather have them then better graphics? and now your justifiing it by saying its human nature? how does this even make sense with each other? you were a hardcore achivment whore a second ago and now your a casual gamer? which is it buddy?

Wow, i commented on both systems and sure enough some insecure PS3 owner no doubt calls me a MS sackrider and quotes (without actually citing, I might add) some random shit he read on the internets about the situation.

Yeah.

Anyway, it is not simply a rumor that got downplayed. More like a debate.

Because the video game industry is the field I intend to pursue, and development interests me quite a bit, and I'm bored as fuck...I'll discuss it in a mostly civilized manner, despite the fact that I don't really give a shit one way or the other, and I'm positive this will be nitpicked and/or ignored by people firmly straddling Sony's scrotum.

Rockstar said the game would be "running 720p on both systems" way back in an EGM article or some shit, before the game's release and all this.
Just like MS forever claimed Halo 3 was 720p (after all, thats what it was when it hits your screen so it must be rendered at that, right? )

AFAIK, R* has had no official word on this particular debate
And frankly, they probably look at it the same way I do... in the end what the fuck difference does it make? The game looks awesome on both systems.

Fuck, I even said I LIKE the way the PS3 version looks a little better. (Mainly because I sit about 3' away from my 37" LCD while playing )

Not once did R* ever specify whether or not hardware or software scaling might push it to 720p from a lower resolution render, resulting in the slightly "blurred", processed effect most likely used to mask its otherwise slightly noticeable resolution difference, giving it an overall smooth appearance on today's high definition tvs.
It isn't quite aliasing, because the jaggies are still visible on a few rare occasions if you look, just blurred...that is not aliasing or multi-sampling. It is a similar process as has been used before i.e. Halo 3/lord knows what other games. Some TV's and digital receivers even have somewhat similar (though far shittier) effects available when upscaling SD-TV/DVDs.

"capturing raw 720p output from the system", as one report from gamesradar said, is bullshit.
All you can capture raw from the system is exactly what the hardware and software puts out per a particular game's programming. Software scaling, processing and all.

On a console, you cant magically strip what the programmer's have built into the game's code to get the image exactly as it is rendered before any processing/filtering/shader effects or passes are added.

The last notable time there was a discrepancy between a supposed resolution and the actual one, the SAME FUCKING GUY caught it, and nobody questioned it. In fact, iirc Sony fans were quick to jump on it in an effort to take the wind from Halo 3's sails.

All this is, once again, is yet more Sony lovers trying to block out or downplay any possible slightly (barely) negative thing someone can say about the system.
As if it even makes any fucking difference the game may have ~90 less lines before filters out the ass are added in to smooth everything out and make it look pretty, considering it is the SAME damned game and looks nearly identical unless you actually compare them side by side or on the same screen, which who the fuck would do that in any normal situation? Nobody.

Buy it and play it for whatever system you (and your friends) have and shut the fuck up.

Which is just what the video said (kind of). Just what every video has said.

They didn't say SHIT about the PS3 or 360 version being really better than the other at ALL aside from quicker loading times for PS3 and a slightly smoothed out appearance, more vibrant colors on the 360 and a slightly sharper appearance, so what the fuck was this thread about?
 
I didn't pay that much attention to the achievements on the first playthrough, I didn't actually go for any, just kind of stumbled over them by accident, as I am not an achievement/gamerscore whore.

But after I beat it, it does have something to go back and try to get, and i can look at my friends too just to see "Oh, 10 cars blown up in 10 seconds? how the fuck? let me try that too" you know, like a challenge after the gameplay is done. Just like the pointless ass rankings in multiplayer though they might be better in the future if DLC adds shit to higher ranks, i dunno if all thats even possible to add in, I don't know what parts of the game they actually left open to expansion.

Does anyone? Seriously, I'd like to know some possibilities for this whoopity-doo DLC we've been hearing about.
 
So now I go from someone defending having the option of achievements to being an achievement whore.

You guys truly are something. Lets see.... have the option of achievements extending re playability or don't have them. They're free, they add something to the game. Hmmmm big fucking decision there. I may very well have played Assassins Creed just a tad longer than I did if there had been some achievements. Hey though, I guess someone like me who has an achievement score of 1970 (Reign 3 17, check it) is a huge fag. My GF sure does enjoy my male anal cavity craving phallus however I never give it to her because I so long for man cock in my ass!

I suppose you think women shouldn't have the option of abortion... they need to be told what to do in a game. Having less choices is better!


Yeah, I like achievements! They add re playability to a game for me, but if the PS3 had them and the 360 didn't I still would have gotten the 360 version because of the Downloadable Content, all my friends are on Live, Xbox Live, and I can use my own music. Speaking of which. I don't know if you noticed, but eventually you'll hear all the songs in that game if you listen to the radio. My Xbox sharing media over the network to my PC and having access to more than 120 gigs of music... I'll never hear the same song twice.

Another nice option to have that you're down crediting. In case you haven't noticed, having options in life is good as opposed to not having them.
 
if you say achievements are a top priority, don't get insulted when people call you on it.


lol @ you typing all that shit to defend your faggotry
 
lol @ your 40,000 posts of being a dumbass and wasted time on this site. At least I'm not some ignorant homophobic piece of shit such as yourself.
 
To you they're worthless, not to other people. When will teenagers realize that what one person doesn't like, there is undoubtedly someone else who does.

Again, having the option is much much better than not having the option.
