How do I verify the shitiness or lack of shitiness of my 360 DVD drive?a Master Ninja said:

I think it might be reveling backlash from the Halo3 launch bashing & premature/unwarranted GTAiV praise of PS3 superiority...darkressurection said:

Every single sub 720p game markets their title as 720p. It's what the game outputs to the television set, not necessarily what it's being rendered at. What you're disputing is a mathematical process that indisputably reveals the native resolution of the game being analyzed. It's a process that had proved 100% accurate across the board for both consoles and the Quaz isn't doing Microsoft or Sony an favors.

:lol Dude, let it go.
The review sites don't give two shits about pixels, it has nothing to do with the game. It doesn't hinder your appreciation of the game at all. It is their job to review the game, not count pixels. I mean hell, did you count or care about pixels during the last gen of consoles? Why the hell does it matter now? Its not like the screen won't fill, the systems will scale the content fine and 99% of gamers won't/don't know the difference...
No, they didn't do this with Halo. People still play it even though its only has 640 lines of vertical resolution.
(thats what 640/630p means for all you idiots shouting OMG it has no P's)

I should have it in a couple of hours on 360.
Never mind about that tree of doom. I mean I do see more pop-in when you are wanted than normal simulation. That tree might have already cached or fixed.

can we get comparison shots of the ps3/360 LE? Didn't anyone actually get the LE?

It's a difference of nomenclature. Factor Five fudged a bit saying 1080p because that means 1920x1080 to most people. Although if Quaz says its 800x1080, for some people, that could still mean 1080p. Like how Polyphony called GT5 1080p although it's actually 1280x1080, not 1920x1080.

Close. PS3 GTA<=>360 GTA -
-Cinematics smoother framerate on 360
-PS3 less pop-in
-360 full 720p
-PS3 vaseline filter actually looks good
The law of averages...
Either version is excellent! /thread again

I'm not sure which brand of DVD drive for the 360 is considered the best, but I suppose you might have an idea by how well your 360 handled texture streaming in Gears and Mass Effect.BobFromPikeCreek said:

The way I see it Halo 3 wasn't bashed because of the 640p but because of the -according to many- dissapointing graphics in general. Hell it was being bashed about its graphics waaaaay before the 640p thing was revealed.

You forgot the sub 720p and required installation takes it back to: GTAIV PS3=360 with good DVD >>360 with shit DVD.
Back to you!

I agree with what you have said but this is abit different. Since this is the biggest game of the year,two versions are out tomorrow,you sorta need to play it up and mention which version is doing what,yaknow?
I mean were getting frame rate and pop in reports,why no HD specifications then? I don't mind the fun is hyping up which version is better but c'mon,were in the HD era. Both companies have been spouting this stuff since day one. GTA IV releases and they don't mention which is in HD? Same with Halo3,I was never around for that craziness,not the actual thread I mean. The below 720P fiasco I mean. Its shaddy journalism if you ask me.
Not too cool.

That's not the way I recall Gaf... but glad you had a decent experience... I recall 'MEGATON' repeatedly thrown around - and not in a positive fashion...
That said - Halo 3 has amazing lighting thanks to it - and so it appears the PS3 version of GTA as well...

Required installation was essensial for the PS3 version to be better in some areas. Take the installation bullshit out of that list please.

Still that's one hell of a difference between Polyphony Digital and Factor Five and many devs in general, they achieve an actual native resolution 400,000 pixels higher than 720p @ 60 fps with 2xAA to spare in GT5 when it's all said and done, while many devs are just trying to fill 720p with their engines.
I certainly won't cut their achievement short just because it isn't completely fullHD. People with 720p tv can't even take advantage of GT5's full resolution but they do gain a nice 4xAA in exchange.

Yup. Louder is better. The Thompson/Samsung drives have a faster data rate according to some of the mod site's I've read. They're annoying as all shit, but there's something like a 15% increase in speed for tolerating it.
Press releases said otherwise though. But I'm more tempted to believe the guys who fuck with this shit routinely.

Yes or No answer, two identical TV's, two copies of GTA IV, a PS3 and a 360, both running GTA4 side by side, could you actually tell the difference between the diifferent resolutions that the game is rendered at ?
