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

For those missions where you don't need a car, try getting around using the subway and on foot. You see loads of little things going on that bring a smile to your face which you would surely miss otherwise

Is the PS3 better than the Xbox 360?

from the stills i've seen and what i've read, you can't go wrong either way (i've got the xbox version). There will be downloadable content for 360, but when is another question. To be honest, if it looked liked vice city, I wouldn't care less, for me gta is the ultimate proof of game play over graphics.

640p? I didn't know such a res existed. How come it's not 720p? And with it being lower does that mean the framerate is slightly higher than the 360, or not as the 360 has better gfx card correct?

Several games use a slightly lower res to preserve framerate (COD4, Halo 3 and this are the common examples)

To be honest, It's not something you'll notice, On release nobody did, It was only after some indepth analysis did it come to light.

If you are going for a version of the game, it still stands, that either version of the game is fantastic. And there's only slight differences between the 2.

aa improved and pop-ins being reduced on the PS3, But that's not saying the pop-ins are totally noticable on the 360. They hardly are.

Downloadable content is a plus for the 360 version, But it's not even out yet.

The 640 vs 720 thing is just fanboy fodder to be honest.

There's basically nothing between the versions, personally I prefer the 360 one.

Check the other thread which goes into more depth on which version to get.

I've heard more complaints for PS3 owners regarding framerates than Xbox360 ones. I own the latter and I saw one dip in an outrageous pileup where I flew over a hill, hit a few cars, few pedestrians, a hydrant and some lampposts. It stuttered for a split second, then continued as normal. Incredibly how Rockstar have managed it.

Does make me wonder what Saints Row 2 will be like though! :o

In relation to the res, it doesn't matter. Call of Duty 4 was one of those odd resolutions and it's one of the best looking games on either console.
 
Basically , get gta 4 for the console that all your mates play on. For me and most people that would be a 360 :)

I have 360 version for the record and it looks great with the occasional dip in framerate - nothing major though :)
