GTA IV looks and runs BETTER on PS3

Badie05 · GTA IV looks and runs BETTER on PS3

If you are still looking at which console to purchase GTA IV for, this is just another thing to consider.

XBOX

- Achievements
- Downloadable Content
- Xbox Live

PS3

- SIXAXIS support
- Better graphics (better antialiasing, less texture pop-in)
- Faster load times (preloaded data)
- Future "Home" support and in-game XMB support

Sure, Gamoc's blog on Thursday was written mostly from the heart, but this morning IGN's exclusive GTA IV review was posted, and confirms much of what we said two days ago.

The perfect scoring game, with 10s across the board, clearly states that 'for those wanting to know which version looks better, the edge goes to the PS3. The textures and framerate are comparable, but the PS3 has far less pop-in.' Strike One.

'There are framerate hitches here and there and (particularly on 360) there is some texture pop-in, but it actually runs better than I expected' the review goes on. Strike Two.

'The PS3 has better anti-aliasing making it look a little cleaner. Because GTA IV can preload onto the PS3 hard drive, the in-game loads are faster. Don't worry Xbox owners, the load times are rarely more than 30 seconds and don't occur very often. ' Strike Three. You're Out, Xbox.

In case you missed all that: 'The slight visual edge goes to PS3.' So there you have it - if you want the most important game this generation, why the hell would you buy it on Xbox 360? Full IGN Review.

This is kinda [mod edit]..
PS3 loads and performs better because it's preloaded.

However M$ makes it possible for gamers who don't have alot to spend to play the game aswell.
People with an arcade bundle can play the game aswell, with the GTA IV packs it only costs you 200 dollars.

Only if you pay 250 more you have a PS3 with GTA IV but is that really worth the cash..
Graphics look better on PS3, but not that much better! I've seen it with my own eyes.

Those are 2 of the same things btw..

PS3 FTW

I wonder what will happen to the PC version. Theoretically it should have better texture, faster loading times, higher frame rate and better graphics overall.

i hear the 360 version does play slower, and looks a bit worse, but has more default and downloadable content? IS this true?

The PC version is gonna have exclusive content and modes and story and releasing on October 2008.
