I think not only "PS3 fanboys" were surprised, Halo 3 was a high budget project, actually the most high profile first party 360 exclusive. Still 640p, no AA and not a solid framerate throughout the game. Needless to say development was lead on the 360 for Halo 3.
GTA IV development was also lead on the 360, the 3rd party port quality to the PS3 is quite good (I would say well improved overall, judging from reviews and comparison screenshots). GTA IV to me seems more demanding than any multi-platform 360 to PS3 game so far and more demanding than Halo 3 as well.
More info on multi-platform (game design sacrifices and potential porting difficulties if development is lead on the 360) and exclusive development can be found within this thread:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=184843
With regard to GTA IV development Rockstar stated they still haven't 'cracked it' with regard to the PS3 architecture (thus headroom PS3 specific game engine improvements for future games). They also stated a default harddrive and more storage space is very important to them for future games.

I just thought about the possibility that someone would say that
I don't think Guitar Hero 2 can be compared to DLC that Microsoft paid Rockstar $50 million to get exclusivity on for a game that will be easily one of the best games this generation and definitely one of the best games I've ever played in my entire life.
It probably isn't overthetop to call it the biggest release this generation either.
I'm hoping the 360 DLC is really good, but if not who cares at least I got an amazing game.

IGN didn't mention pop-in in their video comparison. At least I thought they didn't.

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, no video is needed...
I just trying to be fair to dot50...

I would say that if you like big screen HDTVs, graphics delivered at their developer intended resolution with out any hackish' sacrifices, and the warm feeling you get when you buy the superior version of a multiplatform game, go 360.
If you like 19" SDTVs, blurry, unfocused graphics due to sub-standard near last-gen resolutions, sandwiches, knowing that others are playing a far superior game than you on a competing less expensive platform and trannys I'd say PS3.

I don't see how that explained why GTAIV PS3 running at 630p is excusable but slight pop-in is not. I also don't see how that it refuted that GTA IV is 10p less than Halo 3 which already got so much shit piled on it.

I last checked this thread at about a little over 3 hours ago, now that I come back I see that it has grown 14 pages. This is mass madness. Reading these pages all at once is overwhelming. This is maybe the most FUD slinging thread I've read on this this or any other forum in a long time, it is just hilarious the misinformation people keep thinking is fact. I do hope Gametrailers puts up a comparison or some real high res videos of both the PS3 and 360 version are taken in similar areas to judge which people prefer. It seems like a lot of people here (I will not name names, but it should be obvious) already are decided on the version they will buy and are simply trying to justify their future purchase or something. The same old bullet point war has been waged on for too long, we just need some legit images and videos to make the choice ourselves. The only question I have is if this beyond3d guy who found out the PS3 resolution did it off his own version or IGN screens. I don't know the history of if he found out the res on CoD4 or Halo 3 after the release or from screens.
I just want a solid video of each version at a good resolution to see what all this "warm/vibrant/sharp/cool/natural/clinical/whatever" is actually about and what it means to me when I'm playing this game.

This is really quite the thread.
I heard the 360 version has pop in if you don't have XBL gold.

Why do you have a Live vision camera?
because you have to take it in the context of reality. not only do we not see the PS3 visuals as inferior, by a few accounts and many personal opinions they same to be preferred.GenericPseudonym said:
on the other hand, pop-in is NEVER preferred.
Of course I'm not going to propagate any of this crap, but if everything were exactly as you stated, that is what my answer would be.

I heard everyone with a gamerscore of 20,000 and above is actually playing the superior PS3 version, emulated and streamed over MS' GTA4 Supreme Class Dedicated Servers.
Again, Halo 3 does not use anti-aliasing, had framerate issues throughout, and was built specifically for ONE platform with a massive budget behind it.GenericPseudonym said:
GTAIV on PS3 actually uses anti-aliasing and lots of post processing to produce a more pleasing image than Halo 3. The game is also much more demanding and development was started first on XBOX360. If anything, both issues (pop-in and resolution) are being blown out of proportion.
In fact, I highly doubt most people here would have actually noticed the lower resolution if it hadn't been pointed out (andrewfee being an exception, of course). Most people don't seem to notice or care when a game is rendered in a slightly lower resolution provided the game uses anti-aliasing of some sort. Halo 3 is picked on simply because it did not use any while still struggling to maintain a solid framerate.

Well if you wanna play on a system that sounds like it has chronic bronchitis, with more pops then pop rocks, get it for 360....
If you want just a seemless gta experiance, then go out and steal a car......

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I'm just saying, when was the last time anyone's pre-release hype of future DLC ever even remotely matched up with what got released? Even Rock Band, which has the best DLC support I've recall in a console game hasn't exactly lived up to the hype we got pre-release; where fans were promised all these full albums, full band catalogs, etc by awesome bands like the Who, Nirvana and Metallica. Last I heard, the only actual full DLC album that's coming out is the freaking Cars.
If you're actually expecting DLC that's three times the size of San Andreas, you're most likely going to be extremely disapointed.
As for which version is superior: I don't get fighting over it at all, as if individual forumites have some kind of stake in each company. Just buy the version for the system you have, and if you have both systems, just buy whichever one you think is better. What's the purpose of trash talking the other version? That makes virtually no fucking sense at all. Probably the most pointless point of pride this side of people that believe that musical taste is an accomplishment.

You comparison is tremendously flawed.
Why not discuss the other games where a platform holder invested $50 million in exchange for secured exclusive episodic content?
I can wait.
