Not as much as microsoft paid Eurogamer :D

I wonder how much Sony paid 1up and Egm aswell as they said the PS3 version looked better? Oh well i guess Eurogamer is far more respected publication than either 1up/egm/Ign, personally i dont care if i drop 2 FPS every now and then compared with the 360 version. Like i wouldnt care if i had to wait a few more seconds for loading times if i had the 360 version. The game is pretty much the same for both consoles, the PS2 version of GTA3/VC/SA was graphically inferior than the Xbox version, im sure people then wasnt counting pixels or checking frame rates as they was possibly playing and enjoying the game.

Everyone knew the PS2 versions would be worse. The PS2 was well known by everyone to have less powerful hardware than the Xbox.

The reason it is contentious now is because the PS3 is supposed to be at least as powerful as the Xbox 360. Of course it may well be, and it is just Rockstar's failings that have resulted in an inferior performing game.
 
looks better on my flatmates ps3 than on my 360 to be fair

and notice HORRIBLE framerate dips on both :( ill have to go tell him this amazing news. im sure it will ruin his week

Anyone who says they can tell the difference between a 5fps margin is talking crap I thinks ;)

After you spend ages trying to get Crysis to run above 30FPS, you'll be able to tell the difference between 28 and 30.

It's easy to tell the difference between 30 and 60, lol.

kudos to ms for releasing games with an emphasis on quality rather than eye candy, FM2 over GT5 being the most striking example.

lol, just, lol - GT5 isn't even out out,

and framerate is bad on both, with the added popup/load in textures on the 360 version.

Anyway GTAIV just isn't GTA anymore, no replay value or fun anymore = fail, should never of got a 10/10, more of a 8/10

Yeah I agree half the fun of gta was the over the top nature of the car chases and shootouts, it's too slow paced now. Stil a good game judged on its own merits though.
 
What a stupid thread to start, borderline sad to be honest, GTA has never been about graphics but enjoyment, but all you graphic whores just want more stuff to pick at.
(By the way I own no next gen consoles as of yet)
 
My Xbox 360 died two weeks back and yesterday I bought the GTA 4 ps3 bundle, and for a start I have to say how low in noise the console is comparede to the roaring 360.

Now, 360 maybe better, fine. But I'm enjoying the PS3 version. If people like it on Xbox 360 then great, and if people like it on PS3 then great.

The framerate issue I haven't noticed and seen this debate in the pc forum and a few frames wont make much difference to me.
 
Yeh I decided to keep the PS3 version because the 360's noise was doing my head in and I like the dual shock 3 more for driving cars.

Very true, which is why the question arises: why didn't Rockstar tone down the graphics a bit, to get a consistent framerate and to have better draw distance / eliminate pop-in etc. Those are all issues which affect GAMEPLAY, not just 'graphic whores' :)
 
So some reviewers say the PS3 version looks and plays better and others say the 360 version looks better and plays better.

What is the truth, I guess we will never know, it almost looks like the performance isn't the same with identical setups, ie one PS3 runs better as another PS3.

Can the LCD/Monitor that is used make such a big difference perhaps?

I imagine if the PS3 is told to upscale the image to 1080p it would detriment the performance a bit?

Dunno tbh, none of this really matters, it's still a fantastic game on both consoles.

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..

Great post right there.

Im going to go spend the time that some of you fanbois argue on actually playing the game.

Good day :)
 
It's brilliant how the fanboy's minds work,

They pick the smallest little details to prove their console is better, like 1 second faster loading times after install but as soon as someone says something huge like 20% lower resolution, lack of anti-aliasing and 20% lower framerate, they say it doesn't matter as it is only 20%
