GTA PS3 runs at lower resolution than 360 version
More tech talk about GTA's graphics, this time comparing the resolutions of the two games. While it appears as if the PS3 game has marginally less pop-up than the 360 version, the latter will almost certainly look better on those with giant 1080P tellies, given that it runs at 720p compared to the PS3's 630p.
Confused? Us too. Apparently, the lower number of lines on the PS3 version means the picture has to be stretched more to fit a larger screen. So it'll look sharper on 360, but have a bit more pop-in, and - oh, does it REALLY MATTER?
GTA's never been about the graphics, and that's not about to start now. Frame-rate problems and objects appearing out of nowhere are pretty much expected from a new GTA - and let's face it, it never caused any problems for anyone else before.
As for which is the best version to get overall, that's still pretty clear, and can be summed up thusly:
DLC, baby.
With LIVE likely to make for a smoother, superior online experience, and the promise of maybe even a whole new city to cruise around in August, if you've got a choice, the 360's still the one to go for.

Guys, this is actually very misleading as the proof of the 1080p mode for the GTAIV game on PS3 can be found on any of the boxes for the PS3 version. Unlike the Xbox artifically upscales most of its games.
Face it, the 360 version is inferior and you've just been outdone by the superior hardware.
Are you and MS really that desparate to sell 360s now that you have to resort to pure bull? Sad, pathetic little xbots!!!!

"The PS3 has better anti-aliasing making it look a little cleaner". "or those wanting to know which version looks better,The slight visual edge goes to PS3, but the 360 is no slouchge". "GTA IV can preload onto the PS3 hard drive, the in-game loads are faster". All from IGN.com's review of gta.

630p???? Now you resort to making up screen resolutions. Heres your next tagline "xbox has brighter boxart than ps3" its inane crap but hey that seems to be your what your shovelling. The only reason I was buying GTA on ps3 was because it does run in native 1080p and is going to look fantastic on my bravia. Now I have another reason because I'm embarassed to own an xbox when you publish this kind of immature bulls**t, sort it out.

Hello readers,
There's no agenda here - if you read the post fully, you'll see I've linked to where this info comes from. I'm not making up anything - if it's untrue, then I apologise, but that's down to the guy that started this on the Beyond 3D forum. There's stuff on there that I really don't understand, but it seems genuine from where I'm standing.
For the record, I own a PS3 and enjoy playing on it very much. Just reporting the news, folks - don't shoot the messenger. ;)
Chris

so if i was too make a fourm saying all the 360 in the wrold now have rrod that would make it true?
lol
lol!
xboxer sucks.....
Posted by: nacho | April 29, 2008 1:13 AM
No, because that would clearly be untrue, whereas this appears to have basis in fact. I imagine you've not read the forum from whence this story came, am I right?
Posted by: Chris Schilling | April 29, 2008 1:19 AM
Well, I'm pretty sure it's not 1080p. Just put the PS3 version in and my telly automatically adjusts to the default setting closest to the actual resolution. Which is 720p. Unless GTA's messing with my PS3, I'm pretty sure it's not true 1080p.

more propaganda than CNN and Al-Jazeera combined. Typical around a big game release though.
Posted by: Dizzle | April 29, 2008 2:20 AM
So why am I playing the PS3 version at the moment? :) There's no propaganda, it's just an observation. There's a serious lack of sharpness for 1080p. Not that it matters really - it's still a great game, whichever format you buy it for.
Posted by: Chris Schilling | April 29, 2008 2:42 AM
you guys are pathetic. you are actually visiting an xbox forum to read some crap and comment about crap:) now that i put you all in your place; you can stop shaming the ps3 and finally play a game worth playing. embarrassing aholes!!

dear Chris Schilling...
you are a big fat poo poo head... HOW DARE YOU POST THE NEWS!!!! Dont you know that people who read the Xboxer mostly own a PS3??? How can you go against your kind?? Get ready for more articulate comments as "XBOXER SUCKS" and "THIS POST IS STUPID" and "YOU SUCK CHRIS" and "DEATH TO AMERICA"
I dont care which version has the slightest edge... Im going to buy the original on my PS3... because my 360 is modded and I wont buy the pirated version... although I saw the pirated version (the one on utorrent http://www.torrentz.com/18bbc4b9d7c25b97289236f093679aac60da28b2) being sold on the shops last saturday.. had to control myself from buying it....
Posted by: darkwhitehair | April 29, 2008 4:56 AM
More pixels, less pixels who cares. Most reviewers are saying the PS3 version looks better.

ps3 version of GTAIV runs at 630p while xbox 360 version of GTAIV runs at 720p. this has been proven. Those silly people who look at the back and say, oh look ps3 version is 1080p cus it says on the back of the game case...well listen. it says that too on the 360 version.
These are what the game can be scaled up to!
like your laptop...set it to a lower res than its higest res (which is its native resolution) and it stretches a small resolution to fit your screen. this is similar. the native res gets streetched to 1080p.
Think about this tho. ps3 lower res than 360 and gtaiv still runs slower on it. speaks for it self really...although maybe they lowered it for the antialising and other smoothing effects

fact: PS3 resolution = 630p
fact: Xbox360 resolution = 720p
fact: Pop up occurs on both versions
fact: The Xbox360 pop is more noticeable
fact: The game is brilliant on both systems
fact: The PS3 version has 7.1 sound
fact: The Xbox360 has DLC
fact: DLC will run from the HDD
fact: You will notice how you won't have a new City and missions to play in August if you own the PS3
fact: The Xbox360 version has Xbox Live integration
fact: Stop worrying about all the facts and play the game - you won't notice anything apart from how superb the game is on both versions

levi3man, you win the internet.
Yup - as I said in the piece above, it doesn't really matter. GTA's GTA. It's still an amazing piece of software whichever format you own it for.
I'm not sure how reporting a simple point of fact is some kind of fanboyism - I guess that those replying as such may be a little prone to that particular affliction themselves. ;)
Posted by: Chris Schilling | April 29, 2008 12:57 PM
This is a perfect example of ps3 idiots in denial. Just b/c it says 1080p on the box and on your tv screen does not mean it is running at that resolution. Check out the HD comparison video for yourself:
http://www.talkxbox.com/article2576.html
and see why the critics either were paid off by sony or felt sorry for the demise of the PS3. There is no doubt about it. The 360 version looks SIGNIFICANTLY better. Look at the faces. Just like every other cross platform game. Nothing new here guys. I am left to ponder how many months 360 owners had to wait for R* to get this game running (at 640p) on the piece of shit PS3.
