After almost two thousands words of technical discussion, the bottom line is that it's clear that Rockstar had some issues matching the basic performance of the Xbox 360 game on the PS3 hardware. Lower resolution, zero anti-aliasing support and a more variable frame-rate are the bottom line.

On the one hand, it's a touch disappointing that Rockstar's USD 100 million budget couldn't extend to optimising the experience to match Xbox 360, especially when you look at a game like Burnout Paradise that doesn't require a mandatory installation, has a basically rock solid frame-rate, and is technically identical cross-platform.

PS3 owners - your gloating at release appears to be all for nothing it seems. Let the wars ensue.
 
Can we let this rest now?

The PS3 fans have all changed their story now to "graphics don't matter" anyway.
 
It's a gaming forum, this discussion is perfectly fine and adds a very interesting twist to the long-running GTA4 platform debate :p It's the most clinical comparision by far.
 
I've found the whole debate pointless, playing on either is good, both suffer from low framerate at times, both have a slightly different 'look' but the game is still the same..


Read the whole thing it's not all positive news for the 360. Regardless both versions are fine. I honestly hate some people on this forum.

I'd sympathise with you, except I notice you seem to be very pro PS3 in many of your posts, having little digs at the 360 and it's fanboys.... :)

I have said many times that I find it difficult to notice the difference between 30fps and 60fps, so telling the difference between what appears to be 5fps would be asking a bit much imo. Anyone who says they can tell the difference between a 5fps margin is talking crap I thinks ;)

Why can't we all just get along and enjoy the damn game?
 
I can well believe it, the framerate is horrible on my PS3. Still pleased I bought it over a 360 though.

25fps is about the minimum you can get away with and they game still feel ok, so dropping 5fps here and there vs. the 360 makes a big difference.

'my eyes suck' :p

Jesus Christ. You people are still arguing about petty crap like this? Just play the frickin game!

Beat it, sold the game to a mate, no matter which platform it's on, it's still one of the most overrated and overhyped games in existence, I've had more fun with MGO and Echochrome.
 
I dont think it matters at all. Both systems have a super mega awesome game to play, just enjoy it :p The PC version will just own them anyway (if 1 comes out) :D.
 
From the article:
"V-Lock (V-Sync) is on for the PS3 and off for the 360" :confused:

Wouldn't that mean that the PS3 would have a constant framerate though?

I guarantee you would notice the difference between 1 and 6 fps ;)

Although I find this argument pointless and redundant and quite frankly boring, I can definitely tell the difference between 25fps and 30fps...The difference between 60 & 30 is more apparent in shooters for me, especially the likes of UT3.

Just curious, have you played COD4 on a console ? Not notice the difference there ? COD4 = 60, GTA4 = 30.
 
depends on the game
in a racing game 5fps lost is very noticeable
so i guess it is in gta when driving especially when is lower than 30fps
i notice framerate issues sometimes on the 360 quite easily
