Shall i get a PS3?

Well i did the deed....

PS3, GTAIV, GT5:P, COD4 for £360 (ironic that it is 360 :P)

I didnt need to but my impulsive nature got the better of me!

Would have been cheaper to buy it on the 360!! oh well!

Now i need to unpack it all :)

YAY you saw the light, nice one.

See you in a few months :D
 
for the record - uncharted is great fun!

secondly - why did i know that before looking through this thread the order of business would go like this


new guy asks which console
fanboy1 vs fanboy2 for 60 posts

xbl better than psn debate

my religion is better than yours....

yadda yadda yadda

guy asks for advice - his thread gets filled with rubbish

tbh though
there was a massive gta thread with LOADS of info - he could have just gone there and checked - but it got deleted
 
GTA4 looks crap on the PS3 compared to the 360!

Im not a fanboy and i have a ps3 and a 360 with copies of the game on both!

It just looks sooooo bad compared to the 360!
 
There's a demo of it on the PSN you could download, it's over a GB tho, just did that myself then ordered it today.

It's a sorta Tomb Raider/Indiana Jones meets gears of war type game, seems quite good.

The demo is rubbish. It picked one of the very worst sections from the entire game, put it in a 1gb demo and it's incredibly short.

The full game is miles better.

Care pie !

He has a PS3, so I doubt he will go and buy a 360 to compare ;)
 
pffft..... id be disappointed if i had just bought a PS3 only for GTA as it looks bad!

Well i didnt just buy the ps3 for GTA, if i just wanted GTA i would have got it for the 360! I gotta admit tho...graphics have rough look to them (ie not great) for the few mins i have played it....but im not that fussed...doubt there will be mych difference...who knows i might get it or borrow it for the 360 to have a look!

weird because in our halls weve got both and they look pretty much the same apart from some slight difference in contrast and sharpness.. could probly even make them look more similar if we messed about with the tv settings
 
You don't have a PS3.. every post you type says you have both consoles yet you completely rip on the PS3.

shut up fan boy... i will post pics when i get home!

I will prove to everyone that the PS3 version's graphics are noticeably worst!

Why would i lie about having a PS3???? I love the PS3 - GT5 Prologue is awesome, Virtua Tennis 3 rocks, Virtua Fighter ROCKS! Metal Gear Beta is buggy but rocks!

You sir, have lost your mind, just pop over to the gaf where there are people that own both versions and are analysing the game right down to the pixel, these guys know what thier talking about, and even they can't decide which version is better, yet you believe you have the answer, I have the answer for you mate, buy a new TV.

hmmm... my TV is perfect mate. 360 looks awesome! ps3 looks pap! simple as!

I dont care if a bunch of guys are studying this down to the pixel... my tele (which is a good, reliable tele) shows that the ps3 version is far worst (i wish it wasnt! i wish it looked better or the same).

Now then... if i hooked my 360 through the same tele via the same HDMI port.... with the same HDMI cable... i wonder if i see any difference?

However.... to conclude! I havent lost my mind... and so far the 360 is the choice i would go for if i hadnt still bought the game!

Sounds like your tv is calibrated for your 360 and not your PS3 ;)

Hes obviously more clued up than all the big game sites giving the reviews.

Shep_Cobain>All.

Wasnt that obvious??:confused:


NOT!
 
Hi, Mr Shep Cobain, I've seen the game running on both machines, I am currently playing the 360 version on my own system. And as for the PS3 version, My friend has that, And I've been watching his.

Now what's strange is, Even though you are telling us the PS3 version looks hideous. I can't see a difference that makes the Ps3 version look bad atall, If anything they look about the same with my version having a slightly prettier colour scheme.

There are differences in the way the game acts, With regards to loading, But it's the Ps3 graphics you are attacking.

I'm not saying to you, You are wrong, Chances are what you are seeing is bad Ps3 graphics, But it's 100% definate your settings that are wrong. And if you don't agree with that, then that's your right.

Take a look around, all website show the game to be graphically better than the 360 version, with regards to aa and less graphic pop-ins. Most the people on this forum are agreeing and saying the PS3 version is better, Due to aa and less graphic pop-ins. I am going to go with them, and say from what I have seen, the PS3 version is slightly better, due to AA and Less graphics pop-ins, And i don't own that version!

The questions, Are the usual ones, What connection do you have your PS3 going through, is it set up optimally at your TV's end. Loads of people come onto these forums, complaining at PS3 jaggies, and after a few moments of playing with settings, they've ended up with better quality.

And just so you know, just because your 360 looks good using certain settings on your TV, that does not automatically mean the PS3 will look good using the same settings. Especially if both machines are running through different connections.
 
Bit of a long shot here, but i have the ps3 hooked up via hdmi into my monitor (Hyundai W241D-PVA)....anybody know good settings to have the monitor set at? im not very good when it comes to calibrating!

LOL. how about I stuff my 'care pie' into your pint of bothered as a compromise :D

hmmm... my TV is perfect mate. 360 looks awesome! ps3 looks pap! simple as!

Would you care to elaborate on what tv you have ? O and as it's perfect then I assume you have had it ISF calibrated by a professional.

I dont care if a bunch of guys are studying this down to the pixel... my tele (which is a good, reliable tele) shows that the ps3 version is far worst (i wish it wasnt! i wish it looked better or the same).

Mine is reliable too, what does that have to do wth the gfx. Thanks for your description on the differences 'shows that the ps3 version is far worst', very thourough tests you have conducted there ;)

Now then... if i hooked my 360 through the same tele via the same HDMI port.... with the same HDMI cable... i wonder if i see any difference?

However.... to conclude! I havent lost my mind... and so far the 360 is the choice i would go for if i hadnt still bought the game!

If you hook it up to the same tv with the same cable then the console will still be different, so as you said you will see a difference. Your point is............ ?????

Most importantly people need to setup their tvs properly, and I dread to think how many people have cranked up the brightness, contrast, sharpness, colour, Noise reduction, or just left it like it was out of the box.

Not got much experience in PC monitor hookups, but look out for 1:1 pixel mapping, and just adjust the settings to get what makes you happy.

Anyone else with more experience able to help further ?
