As it doesn't need any improvement.
GTA 4 PS3 vs 360
- Thread starter Psycho Sonny
- Start date
Lol, you know it does, the DS3 is the only problem i have with my ps3 at the moment

If I get GTA 4 I'd have no choice but to get it for the 360 has I don't have a PS3. 
Saying that I'd want the extra content anyway so if I had both consoles I'd likely get the 360 version. I hear the PS3 has a better GPU but the 360 has a better GPU. What I've learnt from overclocking my PCs is as soon has you get to the point where a CPU is fast enough to fully utilize the GPU the CPU makes very little difference to the performance so I can imagine the 360 version running smoother. (just a theory of mine)

Lol, not for me it doesn't

Not quite the same thing with the PS3 as the Cell does some of the work of the GPU, in any case the differences graphically are prob so small that it would take a fanboy to find them
. Regarding controllers i like the DS3 far more than the 360 controller mainly down to the fact that im used to it. In then end if you have both consoles its down to personal preference, and if you are willing to pay probably £30-40 on 20 hrs extra gameplay (about 1/5 length of GTA4 as its supposed to be about 100hrs) To me that seems a lot of money for what your getting but hey its GTA so loads will still buy it.

Can we have the source on this as it sounds like quite important news? price point and length of the game has not really been discussed yet as far as i knew
Someone said this week (can't recall the site atm) that DLC 1 of 2 will be in August and is approx 10 hours in length.
The price point (based on previous DLC on Live) is assuming it will cost 1800 MS points * 2.
So its just speculation + maths

Nope its just conjecture, but do you think it will be less than £15 each? Or more likely to be £20 (2400 points) that the Oblivion shivering isles DLC was? The 10hrs has been mentioned many times lately in previews when the DLC is mentioned thats all. It could be £5 and have 50 hrs each for all we know though.

I assumed it'd be free

Dont think any real good DLC is free, just stuff thats old or nobody would wanna pay for... when its GTAIV you can probably bet your house that they'll charge 1200 minimum

I'd still like to know if it is Rockstar North who are developing the DLC, they could just offload it to the chaps who did Bully and it be utter shambles. I can't see that happening but you never know.

We all want to know which version is going to come out on top. Can't wait for them side by side comparisons

Me too, I love looking at the pixels are determining what level of AA was used on the clock hands on the tower 3 miles in the background..
Also, I think that GTAIV is the best thing since sliced bread, and I've booked 6 weeks off work to play it to death, but I'm getting it on my PS3 because I'm not bothered about DLC

Why does any version have to come out on top? I mean seriously, it's gonna be the same game no matter which console you get it on, graphical differences will be most likely minimal to non existant, controller choices come down to the individual, some people like the 360 pad, others like the DS3... neither of them are the wrong choice, it comes down to personal preference.
As for the DLC, im sure i'll be well and truely tired of the game once i've racked up 70 odd hours or whatever it turns out to be, so whether the espisodic content was released on the PS3 or not, i still wouldnt get it... but i am interested to see what they decide to intergrate into Home (if they decide to do anything at all for it).

dammit! had to buy the 360 version, dont see myself getting the PS3 for some time now

There could be a lot more jaggies on the PS3 version or the 360 version could have more stuttering, that wont affect the gameplay but if you play the game for 100 hours those small things can get very annoying.

Slowdown does affect gameplay. RSV2 is doing my ***s in, and that's the 360 version!!
