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

That's not a reason or an excuse, it was asked in the opening post not to show this, the reason being that nobody cares!
And Fox has as much right to post here as he does in Motors, or any other part of the forums thank you. In a space of 4 posts you've broken two of the guidelines from the opening post.
 
Wish some PS3 and Xbox360 owners would grow up. It's not just Xbox360 owners in the wrong, nor is it just PS3 ones.

Xbox360 ones might bite back, but PS3 owners will also be the 'poor winners' by gloating (and this thread wouldn't be the first time).
Why when this is a thread about the game (that's on both formats) it turns into a war on consoles I don't know.

It's a simple request.

If we made a list of threads where 360 owners gloated about superior versions of games ... I wonder how many of them where you or another mod jumped in to ' calm things down '.

Who cares anyway.

Whether we did or didn't then doesn't matter, I am now, for a game of this magnitude it makes sense to keep things in order.
Because one set has done it doesn't make it right.

As for who cares, I think you do, as you were part of it on the last page, amongst others. This thread is for the game, not console bickering. Leave that to the PS3 or Xbox360 threads :p.

I really wonder what prompted the reviewers to give this a 10 in Graphics while uncharted gets a 9 for it "flaws". Caught in the hype.

Whilst undoubtedly true in the simple sense of screen appeal, you must take into consideration game scale. GTA4 is freeroaming and huge, Uncharted is linear and small. You have smaller areas it's easier to intensify the details.

Hidden packages are now pigeons highlighted in orange, you shoot them once to get the 1/99 or whatever. (I think it's 100)

They are basically the same, but they called "Flying rats"

Oh I love you.
I saw pigeons on the stats page, but I was confused. Went to look in the manual... Worst.Manual.Ever.

Can you let us know what it's like online on PS3. I was at the store in midnight and had both versions pre-ordered and bottled it at the counter when I traded in CoD4, the guy picked up the 360 version and I was £4 short of being able to afford both.

If it's rock solid online I'll be picking it up on PS3.
 
I'm amazed people are criticizing the graphics of GTA4. It's exceptional what they've managed to do. It really is.

The blurring of buildings in the distance is phenomenal and such a fantastic feature (it's been done before, but I've never seen it done so well). Then there are the sheer number of textures of which most of them are fantastic.
 
The hud isn't too bad. It's not razor sharp, but it's not bad.
I've only noticed one frame-rate dip and it's as I flew over a hill into a car, a few lamp posts and pedestrians. :p

I'm on the 360 version. Don't know the differences outside of DLC. As I said before, I knew nothing of what GTA4 was about before buying it :p.
