So to sum up thread

360: Horrible fucking dog shit with horrible pop in

Ps3: The fucking godly version without flaw

Just wondering. In all honesty what seems to be the verdict at this point? And I hope it comes from someone without bias.

Popup probably affecting both versions, seems to be more prevalent on the 360 version.

I just have a hard time believing there's pop ins that bad, and they weren't mention in any of the reviews. They said some pop ins, nothing that severe.

We will all have to wait until Monday/Tuesday. Reviewers cannot possibly explore every aspect of the city.

I watched the PS3 videos on IGN, and I couldn't tell any difference from the 360 version. If you tried to pass off the PS3 version as the 360 one and vice versa, you would probably get away with it.

Final one for the night, sign messed me up :( I was going for the high score dudes!

popin2.gif

I think that's the worst one of all of the ones you posted, the sign popped up a long time after you hit it :/
 
we need a gametrailers comparison STAT. i may end up with both versions eventually if rockstar doesnt patch it up. This thread IS full of shit tho. Out of all the streams i've watched I havent seen much pop up as bad as these gifs.

If the PS3 version has fake achievements a la Burnout Paradise I'll probably pick that one up.

If it doesn't... I'll probably get the 360 version to be honest.

Yes I am that lame. Truth be told I am also waiting for Eurogamer's comparison.

We only have one source on that. And they're...a bit....cylon...y.

Well to be fair, you are making the assumption that it isn't going to be that bad on PS3 as well, for all we know it could be identical.

No matter which version turns out to be the best, in the end, we all lose. If the game was PS3 exclusive it would have been better than what we've got now.

If the pop-ins are as bad as 50Cal is showing us, then there shouldn't be so many 'tards on the live streams asking if the player is playing the 360 or the PS3 version since it should be easy to tell. :D

Gamesradar says no achievements for the PS3 version.

All reviews so far have said this, he is not assuming anything.

We all win actually cause everyone with a X360/PS3 can play it if they so choose.

IGN:"10" :lol

Oh for fuck sakes, the pop-in isn't that bad playing off a disc. I don't know how many times I and many others who've played it have to say this.

If it was that bad you'd better believe that it'd be mentioned in every review.

So the reviewers were simply lying?

And again ...

Well thank you Dot50Cal, you have helped me decide which version.

I doubt it's not too terrible, but if I have a PS3 I may as well use it.

Why do you keep asking these questions?
Obviously, dot50cal has PURPOSEFULLY SABOTAGED HIS XBOX 360. If only he had the credibility around these parts of Deus Ex Machina and Emiru - then we might take him seriously
 
segarr said:
IGN:"10" :lol

If only games without glitches are eligible for a 10, I doubt we'll ever see a 10 again.

Regardless, isn't a '10' score supposed to reflect the relative quality of the gameplay experience, and not technical perfection?

Deus Ex Machina: Maybe his dev kit is old and dusty lol

<Dot50Cal posts pic of RROD dev kit which is in fact dusty and old>

Deus Ex Machina: WTF why is it old and dusty? lol

You haven't seen anything from the PS3 pop-ins.
