There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
So is this a tactic that you learned in the business, or just your assumption? I always assumed that they took long because they liked to spend their time with games to give a more accurate score, but with the old staff gone, I wonder if philosophy this still stands.Stinkles said:

This next-gen GTA4 is starting to make me feel sick :X

This is my favorite thread in a long ass time. It's refreshing seeing so many people respond so earnestly to fanboy drivel. It's like a pre-gaming yourself on GAF so you don't have to deal with the dumbassadry when GTA actually comes out.

for kotaku's claim to be true, rockstar would have literally set the max framerate cap on the 360 version to a different value than the ps3 version. it's reasonable to believe ps3 reaches it's framerate cap in confined spaces and when nothing's going on etc, and i think it's safe to say both have the same max FPS cap.kotaku said:
in videos, both versions seem to have fine framerate. it just sounds like the placebo effect to me -- one version having a higher max framerate is just not likely. and it's not like kotaku is known for being... right.

One of the Kotaku editors also said in this thread, that the PS3 version had Substantially less pop-in then the 360 version, not just a bit like some places said, so I guess you'll have to take the good with the bad

yes, of course it has less. the review states that it is not immune from it though.

So where's the Bungie.net review?
Jtwo said:
Since everyone keeps going on about the pop up and almost nothing else, here's my corporate shill and also potentially logical 2 cents:
360 version:
1. Downloadable content. MOAR GTAIV SOONER
2. Better controller.
3. Universal voice chat.
4. Sturdy in-game Friends management and interaction.
5. More online players/population.
6. Universal rumble.
7. Exaggerated caricatures of corruption in local politics.
8. Custom soundtracks.
9. Warmer/colder/vibrant/muted/bright/soft/sharp/ colors.
Caveat: I used to work for MS and they still publish our games. Uncaveat: I am human, like you, but can bench press more and I like Moon Patrol.

I'll say this for the good old PS3 version...
...I'll be buying it for the Sony system because I'm basically too afraid to play anticipated games on my 360 for fear of it exploding/dying/whatever.
At least on PS3 you feel like it's made with care, rather than put together with pegs and stickytape.
I pretty much only have my 360 to play 1st party exclusives like Gears of War 2, Too Human, etc.
But in terms of the content of GTA4, let's face, it seems like you can't go wrong with either version.

I've been following your journalist work for years now, so when I asked about your experience, I was referring to your time in OXM and before. Obviously, now you can put just a collage of Luke Smith and get more hits than many other publications.Stinkles said:

And even i am moderately surprised
i don't mean this to come out the wrong way, but i've seen several people say this as a reason to get the Ps3 version or to not get something on the X360 or whatever.
If you are really afraid to play games on your X360 - then sell it.
It's worthless to you.
use the cash to buy PS3 games.
Seriously - what IS the point of owning a games console if you aren't going to play it?
i can give you a guarantee - when your X360 breaks, it'll break. It'll have to go back, but it will come back to you at some point. That might not even be the last time. But refraining from playing a games machine? shesh, that would drive me crazy and , as i say, if it's gonna break, it's gonna break.

i'm sure he does have an X360, i just find it baffling to own a games console and not use it for fear it'll break.
I'm not even saying X360's won't break - they do! lot's !
but just to have it sitting there and to keep going on about how it's going to explode/break/whatever, then why would playing 1st party games delay the inevitable if it's THAT unreliable?
Emiru said:
Not wanting to start anything, but please don't spout off nonsense. I have had a 360 at launch and thank it for giving me the opportunity to play Bioshock, Gears of War, etc, but to be honest, now that ps3 ports are getting better, I prefer to use my PS3 as the console of choice simply because it feels reliable, unlike my 360 which decides to have disc-read errors every 3 hours for no reason, or whirs like a jet engine, or freezes randomly, etc.
I like my 360, but I wish it was more trustworthy. It feels cheap to me, which is certainly not the case with the PS3 (which was bloody expensive, yikes).
As I said, i'm getting GTA4 and most other multiplatform games for PS3 because I wanna enjoy the latest game from start to end without having to send my machine in for repairs right in the middle of it.
EDIT: Oh, DCharlie, I do see your point, but I can't be bothered selling it now and besides it does have some great exclusives on the way. I want to delay the inevitable for as long as possible - when I have to play Gears 2 on the shonky 360, I will do so with my fingers crossed!
Okay, trying to stop this bickering...quick, say something to defuse the situation...
...KUWABARA, KUWABARA!
Erm. Okay.
I actually think this thread is a little bit funny because the general consensus is that the game is the damn same and nobody will have any less fun on either system.
Just nitpicky things to differentiate, really - I wonder when platform comparisons will die out for this generation?

Have you ever had a 360 die on you? I'm on my third system, so I'd say I have the right to be paranoid about it dying. That's why I only play exclusive games on it and multiplatform games on PS3. I'm going to play GTAIV for hours upon hours and I want to do it without interruptions of any kind.DCharlie said:
PS3 offers me that security. The 360 does not.
