I'm mostly talking about other games where so many reviewers either didn't talk about performance issues at all or glossed over it quickly with "it looked and ran fine", only for people to get their hands on it and find out it's a disaster that runs at 18fps and tears like crazy. It's baffling how they could miss it even if they're not exactly trained to spot it, like I can't see jaggies unless I reeeally strain my eyes looking for them but I can easily spot a game struggling to run on the system at all.

I freaking hope we get 720P and mostly close to 30 fps consistent on the PS3. I will be a happy man.
For reference:
GTAIV PS3 - 640P, Shitty FPS
RDR PS3 - Also 640P, Also Shitty FPS

Not sure if fake. Help me.

I think you went from 24fps to 20fps to 18fps over the course of the last ~5 posts, with the same point.

Was Max Payne 3 720p on PS3? (i played 360 and PC)
I realize it might not be that good of a comparison since it wasn't open world.

Everybody's different. Not everyone notices the same graphical flaws. Hell, I notice screen tearing all the time, but my roommate can never see it and he's a huge PC gamer. If you mostly play console games, I think it's understandable that you probably wouldn't be discerning about the difference between 25 and 30 fps or pop-in or draw distance. Most people just don't notice or care about that stuff. Only a very tiny portion of gamers give a shit, and those are the ultranerds that post on GAF on a regular basis. No offense, as I'm one of those ultranerds. But you can't expect a major media site to not cater to the lowest common denominator.
I'd be happy with decent IQ and sub-HD for a game of this scale, with a stable framerate. But actual native 720p would be amazing.
Knew it looked familiar.

If "Manhunter" is PG13 there must be something seriously wrong with your rating system.

Max Payne 3 for PS3 was 720P. So there's some hope that GTAV will also be 720P.
Does not compute.

I'm the opposite. I'd rather them tone down the bells and whistles and give me a sharper picture.
I think IGN is playing on 360
Is IGN reliable with technical issues tests ?
Wouldn't mind the option really. Didn't one 360 game have the option for sub-HD 60Hz or 720p sub-60Hz? Depends which one would be more noticeable. My screen is only 24 inches, so the extra sharpness wouldn't be too noticeable.
ryan is the 360 guy at ign so its not the ps3 version he played

God damn. My 360 just red ringed. PS3 is of course an option but 360 is my preferred platty. I've got time, right!?!?!?

You think IGN would write a piece like this and then objectively, thoroughly assess the game's technical performance and then mention it in the otherwise starstruck 'preview'?

Join us on PS3. I really don't see there being many differences between the versions this time around.
If the performance wasn't good then no they wouldn't bring up anything technical. Some people have low standards though and consider sub-30 FPS still smooth. All depends on the writer, I'm not familiar with the guy that wrote this piece.

Aha! Thanks for the offer but I may not have to. Turns out my disc drive is a little bit wonky--to be fair it has been making funny noises whenever I throw a game in. I'm back on the dashboard now, so it's not totally fucked.
Side note for those who may know: will uninstalling my games to the HDD keep this from being a larger issue later on?
I've just replayed GTAIV +DLCs and started up Red Dead . Frame rate is so much better. I hope the jump from RDR to GTAV is similar.

And how do we know he was playing the Ps3 version? Does he say so himself?
SavagePlanet

We don't know which version he played. He didn't say in his first article or this one today.

You've already seen the PS3 version if you've watched the gameplay trailer or GTA Online's trailer. If those didn't look poor to you then you don't have anything to worry about.
Rockstar has showed the ps3 version until now, what's going on lately to be so worried? Could be 360 will show some little extra details like more dense grass here & there (I have in mind Max Payne 3) but I don't think will be crazy differences.

I like just assuming it's BS, when they aren't bullshitting you can say "wow well done", but I would rather not trust much from them.
I wouldn't trust them on that sort of stuff. I'm putting my trust in Digitalfoundry when it comes to that sort of stuff.

Why do people do this? 12 and nothing else to do?Are we happening yet?
Not sure if fake. Help me.
One thing I've noticed since GTAIV is that pretty much everyone has strong noses in GTA games.This is probably old by now, but Rockstar put up another site for their Epsilon cult in V

It's more of a joke at this point, I'd say. If I stumbled across a bad fake I'd post it. I'm 35.
Aren't those actual people?
There was a competition for this.
Maybe GTA fans are strong nosed people?

Posting it if simply found is one thing but I mean why go through the trouble of making it.
