*** Grand Theft Auto IV - The Official Thread ***

re: the ps3 / 360 comparisons.. I'd wait a few days for the dust to settle, as most screenies so far not from the final versions, if anyone does want to compare, I think you want retail copies and comparisons of the same exact scenes, etc.. Some reviews have said that some 'issues' they saw in the early review build had improved in the retail version..
 
Really not the best comparisons on that Neogaf post. One is taken from IGN, whilst the other looks like a user took it. They are at different times of the day aswell, so the shadowing will look different.
 
Jesus, all this ma******ng must be making me go blind, but not only is that a god-awful comparison by using totally different pictures, but there's barely any difference.

Maybe the PS3 owners have Sony-filters on their glasses.

Either way, both comparison reviews I've seen (one of which is here) claim there to be barely any difference at all.
 
If you look at the HD gameplay footage on gametrailers the backgrounds on the 360 version look the same as the PS3 version in that screenshot. It's probably just a bad location combined with the extra sharpness of the 360 screenshot.

Right. I've booked tomorrow of work. Gonna get up about 7am and be ready to hit the town in search for a copy of GTA IV. Hopefully the chances of getting one will be okay.

The 360 doesn't have the distortion seen in that screenshot, judging from playing it myself.

The PS3 version is a screencap, 360 is direct capture, that's why it looks so different. (not saying there ain't differences but one is like I said a direct capture)
 
OMG
Just stopped past my local supermarket on the way home from work to get some bits for tea, there are already about 12-15 people sat on fold-up chairs etc to the side of the music and video desk :/ GTA '£37' banner on display. Thing is, none of them look old enough to buy it......
 
I have the 360 version and my son has the ps3 one.
I have tried them both on the same lcd tv and to be honest there is very little in it between the two.
I had to turn the brightness up a little bit on the ps3 version and the colours seem a bit better on the 360 one.
The cut scenes load in slightly quicker on the ps3 but there is not a lot in it.
To me as i have seen and played both of them its down to throwing a coin to which version to get.
Unless of course you want the DLC on the 360 version and you like the 360 controller better than the ps3s.
To prove that i have and played them my gamertag is geordie 10 on both consoles.

100% serious. Couldn't believe it.
Tragic isn't the word. I know its a much anticipated game but thats ridiculous. God only knows how long they've been sat there. The supermarket is packed and it just made me laugh a bunch of idiots gormlessly sat there like waxwork models, looked so out of place :D

Why is it tragic? People queued up similarly with chairs for XBOX 360, PS3, Harry Potter, Star wars movies, Halo 3, Some new albumns.
List goes on....
