The Escapist review. It's as if they forgot they were going to review a GTA title and were surprised it had so much cursing in it.
If they lowered the score due to that, I think it's safe to say that the majority of people who know what to expect from a GTA title could probably ignore that one.

Sounds like it was meltdown city in the last thread.
Guess people who have played the game already must have disagreed fiercely with some of the reviewers, huh?

I'm sure they've said before that they wouldn't ban early users if they were using a legitimately sourced copy.
I've played loads of games a day early on Xbox 360, think I even did it with Gears 3 because I got it on the Monday.

Eh what does that matter. There's terabytes, terabytes of information online about this period of mankind, individually they may not be equal but combined they completely dwarfed, Historians won't be putting much weight in a source whose sole purpose is sales and entertainment, in comparison thousands of other sources that aren't.
This game will be important for video game industry and likely some of the controversy around, as a peak into the past for society in general there's little reason to even use it. Which is why I consider it a fairly silly comparison

Are there any reviews that touch on the differences between the 360 and PS3 versions? That gif has me a little worried.
But its a good thing to mention. I'm not really a fan of the earlier GTA games because, in part, of the great deal of cursing.

When they conclude a review like that, then most likely those were the main reasons it didn't get as high a review score as other websites.

As a historian myself I question that.
But, we'll agree to disagree. We'll both be dead before we can know the answer anyway!

Exactly what I'm thinking. Though the images are nearly identical in terms of distance to the trees, we could be seeing one version that's loaded the detail of the leaves already, and the other version/console caught in a moment micro seconds before loading the final details. Too hard to tell.

I expected as much. Rockstar-developed games are always better on 360

OT.
Nope.
End OT.
That's not an accurate comparison, something is up with that shot, maybe pop-in or something. There's been many different side-by-side shots with plenty of trees and other objects and they have never looked that different
Edit: actually, found the source. Trees do look different but could still be pop-in. None of the other comparison shots are like that though

I've been watching a PS3 and 360 stream at the same time and the trees look identical on both versions.
No i mean logging into Xbox Live and actually playing the game, just a fear of being banned

I don't mean this in a bad way but you are probably the biggest graphics whore I have ever seen. Graphics are more important to you than probably anyone I have ever come in contact with.
Again, not a bad thing at all. You really should have had a tag a long time ago though.
Yeah thats what i mean
They just reviewed the PS3 version, and didn't mention the 360 version at all. There was no comparison.
That is incorrect he did not compare it to anything, also we have several people here say its crisp looking.

The way I approached this was that the chances of the PS3 version being better than the 360 version, given history of multiplatform titles (specifically Rockstar games) was slim-to-none. This is why I went with the 360 version.
Needed to make a decision before the complete analysis was done by DF due to pre-order incentives.

Any reviews talk about how good the golfing, tennis, swimming, underwater stuff, etc is?
Holy shit, it's at 98, the exact same composite rating Grand Theft Auto IV had. I hope GTAV stays there so that they share the position of greatest Metacritic score of all time.

Yeah, the trees clearly look different in that shot.
Also, looks like the 360 has a larger draw distance to a slight degree.
welp, bought the wrong versionOT.
Nope.
End OT.

But that downgrade at least makes sure it runs at a smooth 25fps.
Don't be silly! the gone home fans will make everyone angry.
Not in the game that I've seen. Unless hidden in options.

Trees exibit the same look as in that gif, unless i'm misunderstanding you?
Or wait, you're saying that the trees do look different in those shots but PS3 copy is better closer up? So, a draw distance thing?
Well... in the criminal culture.

How is it not?
I'm not talking literally about the gameplay, obviously. We aren't all skydiving out of blimps while shooting guns on the way down.
In terms of the satire they execute on and the overall setting of the games how is it not?

I don't know man I just don't know.
It's about as much a window into our culture as a season of a crime drama to me. Which makes the comparison worthless (again to me at least).

One of the reviews I watched (IGN?) said they're grippier this time around but still have some body roll so it's possible to lose control if you're not careful.
It's a satire of American culture and takes all the problematic parts and the stupidity and gives it the stage.
Clearly it is a desperate 360 fanatic, this game looks best on Ps3 why would Rockstar showcase the game for the first time ever reveal...on a lower quality version? Come on.
360 gamers got the port this time, its that simple

Is the PS3 version 720p?
There are enough screens / video out now that someone should have sussed out the resolution of both by now

More like SD.
Yes.
Yes
Satire is often a very generous descriptor. When you use the language Sessler does (invoking Dickens!), you are placing this in some very select company. We are talking about the series with "tw@t" Internet cafés. This is not Jonathan Swift. I don't know why we have to ascribe a sharpness it really doesn't deserve. Without having played GTA5 but having played all the previous entries, I'd say it is most likely to be a comedy.
I would be severely disappointed if this is our cultural time capsule. But I'm also a snooty snoot.
