It's like I can almost feel your little fists balled up and clenched ever so tightly as you hear that someone likes/wants the PS3 version more than the 360 version.

to what extent is CS used in the 360 version?
because just having custom soundtrack use like all 360 games (music playing over everything non-stop) would not work well with GTA

Like I said before, I'm a GTA fan, I would have purchased a PS3 if the DLC had gone the other way.
But imagine whatever you want if it makes you feel better.

Do we know the PS3 version doesn't have pop-in like that? I thought the consensus was that the PS3 version had slightly less pop-in, not no pop-in?
How can footage showing pop-in in one version be proof that another version doesn't have it? I don't get it.

There's a good chance the PS3 version is rendering below 1280x720.
chance | ch ans|

People sure have a lot of faith in DLC that may or may not come out this fall, may or may not be on the PS3 and may or may not be worth it. I am going with the PS3 version for now, and if this game happens to be the first game in history to keep my attention for over 5-6 months and the DLC sounds great, I will trade it for the 360 version.

It works great for free-roaming play... but not so good when you're trying to follow the story. I'm really looking forward to that period after having beat the game when you can just cruise around and do as you will, with either random play from my music collection or streaming internet radio. It's really fucking cool and it boggles my mind to see people discounting this feature. It's one of the rare things MS did right.

It happens in the ps3 version, but it's more common in the 360 version for obvious reasons, but what nobody is mentioning is that you might see one area pop in on either the 360 or ps3 version the first time around, but then not see the same occurrence thereon afterwards as if certain things are being saved in memory for future reference.
If people think there is no object pop in the ps3 version of the game, you are in for a surprise. If people think there is no texture pop in on the ps3 version of the game, they are yet again, in for a surprise.
I've been from the get go treating both sides of this discussion as truthfully as humanely possible, but I would be lying my behind off if I didn't say that this 360 version exclusive issues propaganda that people are so delicately pushing is getting annoying.
What I want more than anything now is for many more ps3 videos to be released so people are able to cut through the bullshit for themselves.
Anyway I'm out.

I've been playing a review copy thats loaded onto my buddys XDK Hard Drive, but even with this, We still get pop up. Its not just minor stuff either, entire buildings do this, so do benches and other obstacles. I can't imagine what it'll be like running off a disc. Heres a gif:
How can footage showing pop-in in one version be proof (don't even tell me that's not implied here...) that another version doesn't have it? I don't get it.
Or perhaps this is some sort of bizarre internet gaming forum logic?
CowboyAstronaut said:Yea don't forget the part where I told you I also saw a side by side of both the final 360 and PS3 versions of the game.
Nice try though
I don't need to beat the final PS3 copy of the game to know that the same exact pop ins people are trying to pass off as exclusive to the 360 are also in the PS3 version of the game.
Here is where things get even more interesting. The pop in people are showing in this thread with their gifs they are ever so careful to not even bother mentioning that such an occurrence doesn't happen all the time, just sometimes.
Everyone has an agenda.
No way the PS3 version is perfect.

I received both versions this morning (one preorder was half a year ago and I had totally forgotten about it) and while there are differences, it's really minimal. In fact, the time it takes for textures to popin, objects to appear, LODs to change, it's actually variable on both systems. If I left the room and asked somebody else to turn on and play a random version of GTA4 I wouldn't be able to tell which one it was if it weren't for the slightly different color palettes. Some objects appear far in the horizon just fine for the 360 version for example, while the PS3 will struggle itself just to load a fire-hydrant next to you every now and then. It is totally variable and if you really really put an effort into finding the differences, yeah maybe you'll find the PS3 will do a little less struggling every now and then but it is going to require a bit of effort on your part to distinguish the differences.
Port-wise, it is on the same level as Call of Duty 4 and Burnout efforts. Seriously. Because GTA4 is a massive, massive game, and traditional viewpoints are at stake here (such as GTA being a 'PS' game through and through), people will jump onto differences no matter how big or small - and they will stick to them. It's big news when the biggest game of the year hits two major rival consoles in the midst of cheerleaders and fans trying to root for their preferred format of choice. It's a no-brainer to say everyone expected to find differences and shout about them from the rooftops, but GTA4 is by far the biggest example of vastly overstated differences, where one system is the clear superior version and the other one is a bodged job. That's far far far from the actual case here. GTA4 is an excellent textbook case of bloody and decades-long conflict between different platform owners really going the long distance over so little. Even the Halo 3/MGS4 sub-HD resolution controversy nets less attention than this.
