GIGATON!!!

PS3 - 630p (1120x630)

That would explain why the PS3 version looks blurry and the 360 sharper.

 

[pswii60]

me:

WTF! Have you got the original vid that is from?

 

[furrygiblets]

Resolution plus better frame rate plus sharper image, indeed. Of course, I'm huge on framerate.

Stop talking out your ass :lol :lol

 

[Dabanton]

Is anyone actually bragging? I thought this was all just a bit of fun.

Different rules for different gamers...

Didn't you get the memo?

 

[Yoboman]

It's bizarre that a multiplatform game seems to have split into two different approaches here. 360 just being high-res, pretty bare and straight forward about it but then the PS3 team shrinking the res but improving the lighting and post-processing because of it. Maybe those Sony Cambridge programmers were teaching Rockstar a few tricks

To each their own =)

 

[Francias Castiglione]

Maybe Rockstar can patch in a 630p option for the 360 version like Volition did for VSYNC on Saint's Row? What was the resolution that could fit into the 10MB embedded RAM anyway?

 

[Crushed]

You know, I didn't think I'd ever find anything more annoying than a frame counter, but pixel counters probably beat them.

IN THE YEAR 1992...

Ahahahahaha Mortal Kombat SNES runs at 256x224? Not the Genesis' 320x224? Fanboys am cry, so much for "448p."

 

[Loudninja]

best quote Quaz for the full effect.



throws another barrel of gasoline onto the fire

SO if this the case, umm why does it matter than?

no... it's brilliant. the two games appear to have such a different look that anyone can convince themselves that they prefer either the more dreamy lighting and smoother look of the PS3 version, or the more painted higher res look of the 360 version.

everyone can now just go 'i like the way the X version looks' and no one can argue that with facts or anything.

i knew jtyettis would pop into this thread immediately he saw a glimmer of hope. time to stop crying and start celebrating. 631 baby wooot!!!

 

[plagiarize]

i'm not reading this thread to find out which version of the game to get. i'm reading it for entertainment.

the more twists and turns that happen... the longer the hilarity continues.

630p guaranteed this wasn't going to wind down any time soon, and THAT is why it matters.

 

[Dot50Cal]

That would explain why the PS3 version looks blurry and the 360 sharper.

Or it could be, ya know, the fact that 360 are framebuffer grabs vs lossy encoded video shots from the PS3? :lol

 

[Zedsdeadbaby]

OH SHIT



(I own both versions and can't tell the difference)

 

[rollingstart]

SO if this the case, umm why does it matter than?

It is a bullet point war; final result doesn't matter as long as bullet point list is longer.

Come on Gametrailers! please hurry with the comparison video.

 

[Balthier]

Quaz won't lie dude, and he'll tell you flat out if the image is too poor quality to make out the resolution.

Quaz isn't lying it's the image that's crap. for all we know they could have captured it from the comparison video. I suggest waiting

 

[Dabanton]

The day the laughter stopped.

Pretty much,I mean its a moot point.

It DOESNT. Thats the whole point. Theres so much mis-information, from both the reviewers and everyone. Seriously, just pick whatever platform you have the most friends on.

Why are you lying in the corner in a foetal position ?

Because it would certainly have mattered if it were the other way round.

630p?

inferior ps3 version confirmed...

/thread

630P VS Better effects + better loadings + Less clipping + less texture morphing
And as for framerate, i still dont know shit , many says ps3 is better, some 360 is. It means it has to be quite close

What i dont understand is that why isnt the 360 one like the ps3 one with 630p or the PS3 version like xbox with more defaults but 720p rez?

 

[Crushed]

Stop endorsing the 360 version.

 

[cyberheater]

everyone can now just go 'i like the way the X version looks' and no one can argue that with facts or anything.

And harmony is restored once again to the universe

Wait... so both 360 and PS3 versions are teh inferiorz?

both were probably the 'best' for each platform. depending on whats going on, we can't be sure how fill intensive each effect would be. i'm sure Rockstar did a bunch of tests for both to see what combination of effects and resolutions gave the best look and the best performance.

(I own both versions and can't tell the difference)

I think both the 360 and PS3 do a pretty good job at scaling. Still though, less than 720p is disappointing (no different than the Halo 3 situation, imho).

 

[szaromir]

According to Quaz51. Did you read the post?

Yes I did. He clearly is good at counting pixels, but not an expert in graphics department in general (not referring to this particular case). Plus it's not like he has access to both games. He simply stated that he prefers the look of the PS3 version, but isn't sure why.

They're both shit. Just wait for Saints Row 2.

[DenogginizerOS]

In fact, if you do a comparison shot between the native 1152x640 image and the scaled 1280x720, it's practically impossible to discern the difference. We would ignore it entirely were it not for the internet's propensity for drama where none exists. In fact the reason we haven't mentioned this before in weekly updates, is the simple fact that it would have distracted conversation away from more important aspects of the game, and given tinfoil hats some new gristle to chew on as they catalogued their toenail clippings.

Will 630P be any different?

 

[rollingstart]

everyone can now just go 'i like the way the X version looks' and no one can argue that with facts or anything.

there isn't any material out there to judge for yourself yet. I am just waiting for the Gametrailers comparison because the only other HD videos that explain which version is which costs money to view.

 

[fanboi]

How CAN it be disappointing if the games look the same?
Then you must be disappointing in both games, right?

doesn't it have to be confirmed to exist before it can win?

 

[Diablos]

So the PS3 GTAIV is 630p, while the 360 version is true HD but with that weird dithering effect. Very strange.

I really don't like that dithering effect that I've been noticing for as long as there have been GTAIV screens, so I'll still probably go with the PS3 version, even if it's upscaling It just looks cleaner.

Until 360 610p gets found out, then it's on again :lol

Oh man... wait, PS3 was 4D and 1080p?

 

[cyberheater]

er no. The 360 version isn't scaled. It's native at 720p. Which is the point.
