I read about this the other day and thought it was bs. But I am convinced there is a sharper difference. Yes all the jaggies are their but I still think it's an improvement.

Anyone else notice a little difference.
 
It is blurry on the PS3.

If you pan the camera round to see Niko's face it's blurry, on the 360 it's clear and sharp.

Update made no difference to me...

I'm not sure. It does *seem* like the image isn't as hard on the eyes. This could just be because I read that it is though.

The game is definitely blurry compared to the 360 version though.
 
Main thing that annoyed me on the PS3 version is the blurry/off depth of field in cutscenes.

As a whole though i think the PS3 version is better, mainly because of pop up. It's terrible on the 360.

Same, Sony bravia 52" properly calibrated for PS3 over HDMI.

It's not as sharp as Xbox 360, But it's hardly blurry, Will take pictures later if i get the chance.

i already did on a calibrated 40" bravia.

I also thought it seemed a bit sharper in places, especially with long draw distances, but it's still blurry just doesnt' seem as bad

Still could just be me, and probably is
 
LOL that was the worst comparison ever. Not only were they different scenes with different lighting in each, but you took the photos from different distances too :D

Btw where can I get that Wii sensor bar holder?
 
gta is blurry, its due to the LoD bias and depth of field effect they used to cover it up. On PS3 I guess it might be slightly more blurry due to it not running at 720p.

the blurry and sharpened photos were taken from the same distance on a tripod. and anyway, it doesnt matter what distance it was taken from as long as the screen is in focus. which it is, on all of them.

in the box your wii came in.
 
its ok if you turn the sharpness up a little, honestly. its not a big deal with some sharpening but i love the way people come up with all sorts of excuses like it must be your tv, your seeing things ect. they go to any length. for example :
Not only were they different scenes with different lighting in each,.......

BEST case, that means the blur is there and its real in dark scenes. which there are a lot of in gta4.
