Let's get this straight. You posted something about things that were "established" and it was a completely stupid post. I jab at your stupid post by posting like you to show you how utterly dumb you sounded, and you call me a troll. :lol Dear god help this boy.

Exactly, it wasn't retail. Were I to have been as irresponsible in posting videos or gifs of the non retail PS3 version I played, people would have a lot of concerns right now on this board about the state of the ps3 version of the game because that early build had some crazy stuff that I just knew couldn't possibly be in the final build of the game which is why when people asked if I could post videos I made up a bs excuse about my friend not wanting me to do so.
It's in actuality a version that I could've done anything I pleased with, but would it have been right to cast doubt on Rockstar's work and have them be judged on something that wasn't representative of the retail build? I think everyone knows the correct answer to that question.
It would pretty much deliberately be doing the ps3 version of the game a disservice knowing what I knew about it. I said when I first saw that tree and hospital area pop in that retail really does make a difference and we are now seeing that there is real truth to that.
Euphoria I personally prefer the look of the PS3 version, but do I agree with anyone saying that the PS3 version is established to be the better looking version? Absolutely not. I wouldn't even agree with someone who said it is established that the 360 version is better looking version regardless of what resolution it's rendering at. It's a simple matter of taste, both games have a unique look about them and you just choose which you prefer.
The differences are as pointless as one mod saying he likes the color red better than the color blue. There is no significant difference in the graphics department between these 2 games. Just a difference in how they are displayed. There is no established better looking version it's all opinion.
Looking at the latest animated gifs showing the retail 360 version going at the now famous tree, does anyone for a second think that game doesn't look impressive?
maybe equal in terms of technical achievement, but i'd gladly take less pop-in by handing over a few pixels. it's not like the ps3 version takes a hit visually compared to 360 due to the resolution difference. running in a lower resolution isn't going to harm my experience. ps3 version still looks super hot, before and after we were aware of the resolution.OverHeat said:
but whatever helps you sleep at night.
i was talking about pop-in. people are acting like the ps3 version has pop-in on the same level of 360, which is not true.squatingyeti said:
you repeating that ps3 has an install and runs at a lower resolution is just pointless repeating of what we know. i wasn't saying ps3 version doesn't have an install or doesn't run at 630p.

I think its a mutual thing. If you have a big TV, then the lower resolution may give you more trouble than slightly more pop-in. Pop-in is occasional, 630p is forever.

That would be me, and yes I was able to reproduce it, but not to the Nth degree like 50. I wasn't able to hit the tree before it popped up, however I found that if I drove right by it at high speed, it would not be there. Then there are times when I round that corner and it is there, go figure, and trust me I stood there repeating the whole (non) issue until my car bursted into a huge fireball taking out several people along the way
I guess I too could make a video showing this, but to what end?

No, but there is some muscle prrof. perhaps some bone.
Edit: This thread is moving so fast, a lot posts just poppped up before mine. Maybe GAF is better on PS3.

Apologies if old, but according to Asda (to all you uninformed Yanks: the UK subsidiary of Walmart), the PS3 version is outselling the 360 version by 3 to 1 in their stores.
Edit: Yes it's old. N/M. I'm just back from the gym here, by brain's not working correctly.
I fucked that up in high school playing rugby. Those months using crutches were a lot of laughs. But that's off-topic so whatever.

Do you think any of the major review sites buys large television that cost significantly more money and take up more space. I wouldn't be surprised if most reviewed on computer monitors.

I can confirm the ps3, does indeed, have less pop in, but I wouldn't say significantly less because it's such a roll of the dice.
There will be a period of 2 hours where you can play the retail version of the ps3 build and only see 2 popins, but in the same 2 hours on the 360 retail possibly only see 3 or 4 or even the same exact number of pop-ins as the ps3 version.
Also here is another thing, I HIGHLY doubt people here will be able to catch every single pop-in they see as they are playing. Who knows what the number would be if were able to catch every single pop in, but both versions of the game do a good job of masking it as much as possible.
Again, any talk of the ps3 version looking better is simply personal preference no different than some guy saying he likes the ps3's controller better than the 360's controller. I prefer the ps3 version, but the 360 version looks too fucking good for us to just slap one version with the label of "superior" It just doesn't make any sense at all. Especially when there are situations where the 360 version looks better and there are situations when the ps3 version looks better, but overall I feel like I enjoyed the ps3's look more. Not everybody will come to the same exact conclusion.

I predict meltdowns in next week's PAL charts. Chernobyl style.

oh god i'm sorry....i think most of us here have gone from trying to put together convincing arguments to a delirious bunch that's high on anticipation for the game's release...i think this is the first comparison thread that's not plagued with constant bickering but rather both sides taking things so lightheartedly...
or maybe i'm just not reading the posts right. Carry on fellas!

If you read reviews, then yes. If you do not read reviews, then no...
Just DON'T read the first post, if you do not read reviews...
FYI about the tree of doom: It WAS repeatable on the 360 with a retail version. It was also NOT repeatable on the 360 with the retail version. This was already posted here... someone could, and another could not repeat the TreeOfDoom... both using retail copies...

haha, anyone who believes there will actually be all this awesome DLC needs to go back and take a look at the 360 version of "Guitar Hero II"

Yeah, I can't imagine TJ Hooker and Hans aren't crazy either. The site is just a bad joke that is fueled by their serious beliefs. They try to come off as just joking, but these guys have no life other than that ruled by the love of Sony.
