<PS3 fangirls hear GTA4 looks slightly better on the PS3>

"Everyone get a PS3 GTA4 looks better on it"

<Turns out PS3 version is only 640p and no AA compared to 360's 720p 2xAA>

"It doesn't matter, they both look fine, who cares about graphics"

Mr anti sony grow up m8.
 
How amusing.
Everyone claiming 640p for the PS3 version, when it was a rumor stated by some 360 owner on B3D. lol. Theres evidence of truth for ya! :p.

It'd be interesting to make a poll on the frame rate issue, and have people who have actually played both versions for a good amount of time to vote.
As most of the opinions im seeing thus far are people who have only played one or the other. And so, are heavily bias.

lol ill explain. my complaints against gta4 on the ps3 arent just limited to a comparison with the 360 version - the whole thing is blurred and it is the worst example of blur ive seen on the ps3 so far. i posted a comparison a few pages back of gta4 on the ps3 and gta: sa on my pc running at a lower resolution....and the pc was sharper. people are trying to make this a 360vPS3 argument. its more than that, im saying it looks awful full stop and i bet the people who think otherwise wouldnt prove it by posting up some photos of it , and other games, running on their systems. you could say 'well, perhaps they dont care enough' or 'thats just being anal about it' (not you personally). well then, perhaps they shouldnt try to convince us we are wrong without some proof. you get people saying 'who cares about graphics anyway'. well, thats probably why most people bought a 360 or ps3 in the first place:o all the excuses come out when people want to defend the game lol

I was just expecting someone to defend the game with their life, it happened.

It's an amazing game, I'm totally hooked. Game of the year. But the shadows look rubbish, sorry.

Edit: My good friend Mr. Sly just linked me to this, shows what I mean exactly.

Gotta agree with you.

Shadows (especially on people) look awful at times.

Playing it last night, and some of the cut scenes of Brucie in his house... The shadows around his next suffer from this quite a lot.

It's nothing to do with TV settings, it's purely poorly done shadows.

It's one of my very few gripes with the game :)
 
Nooo! I've put about 20 hours into the game so far and last night the game decided to stop working!

There are only 2 very small scratches on the disc, which I really think wouldnt stop the game from working. Its not my xbox (i think) as all my other games work fine. Anyone heard of any discs that just suddenly stop working? It loads the game fine through the title screen and the intro, but as soon as the game gets to actually loading then I just get 'Unable to read disc'. I've tried cleaning the disc and reseting the console and nothing works!

Looks like im going to have to try and get a replacement disc, but that wont be until tuesday! argh

Was really getting into the storyline aswell :(

I don't think it's sad at all.

Nobody here has claimed it's ruining the game or they've gone back and traded in a copy for something else.

From what I've noticed it's most of the people who really love the game that are complaining about it.

Surely you can appreciate the fact that when you wait so many years for a game to be released and the facts that they can't sort something as simple as shadows out on one console that it must be ever so slightly annoying?

For everyone still moaning about FPS issues and lockups, just turn off the internet connection in the settings menu.
 
I hope this blurring trend doesn't continue, hopefully in the next gen things will be fast enough with plenty of storage and memory to handle this sort of thing, even on the 360 at certain times it seems to have a general screen blur filter, i suspect its for weather but I don't like it, can't be good having that all the time on the ps3, though im sure you get used to it, i wonder if its any good for the eyes? :confused:
 
Also had the lockups and loading issues and can confirm disabling network on my PS3 works (thank god)

I can understand games having bugs on release, it's hard to release something perfect, certainly something of the scale of GTA4, but something like having to disable your PSN connection on PS3 is pretty unforgivable.

Some of the fixes I've seen posted I can genuinely say I thought it was a hoax.
 
Finished the story last night after 33 hours apparently.... that's what it says in the stats.

Some of that was spent watching GTA TV and going on explorations and rampages.
 
i don't think it is as fun as the first time I played vice city to be totally honest. But that is probably because, I had never really played any other GTA game before that. Still prefer the 80's time setting though.
