GTAIV was lead on 360, and it was too hard to say which one looked "better". But the 360 version had a sharper resolution i think.

 

Yes development was lead on the 360, assets wise and tech wise it's a 360 orientated game. It's surprising the PS3 version looks better (better lighting and less aliasing issues). Assets wise its probably the same but for some reason close up images look much cleaner on the PS3, some at Beyond3D think it's a rendering bug, maybe it was done on purpose.

GTA IV is a big game and considering Rockstar's comment the assets have been sacrificed to fit on DVD, either the quality was downgraded or less divers content made it into the game. If the resolution differences are true the potentially lower quality graphics still resulted into the PS3 having the graphics edge.

However maybe on small SDTVs more pop-ins with the 360 version is probably the most noticeable difference.

GTAIV is a great game, but I hope a GTA V will be designed around Blu-Ray disc and development be lead on the PS3 and afterwards modified to suit the 360's specifications.


"GTAIV is a great game, but I hope a GTA V will be designed around Blu-Ray disc and development be lead on the PS3 and afterwards modified to suit the 360's specifications" GTAV will be on the next gen of consoles. It will either be multiplatform or exclusive, depending on whether or not all the consoles had launched at the time they make it. It WILL be multiplatform if it can, this generation will assure of that and as for the disk? Well it will be on a high capacity format in any case. GTAIV - XXX City and XXX City will be on this current generation of consoles. Hmm GTA IV Xbox360 vs PS3; Its Higher framerate, Higher resolution rendering, Lower quality textures with some screen tear and pop-in vs 15% lower framerate on average - Vsync - Lower resolution - higher quality textures and a "subjective quality 'brown filter effect'". Personally,I think it would have been easier to make the Xbox360 game look like the PS3 game than to make the PS3 game run as smoothly and at the same resolution of the Xbox360 game. Most of the subjective differences are just the "brown filter" - most people seem to like the effect. Also now Microsoft allows optional installs, the pop-in won't be an issue with future releases when comparing Pro to 40gb SKUs.

Tease.
