Forums - Sony - PS3 GTA 4 looks (slightly) better than 360 version in some parts?

leo-j on 13 March 2008

With Grand Theft Auto IV due out at the end of next month, Take-Two has suggested what developers Rockstar will be doing with all their free time.

According to Gamasutra, executives in a conference call with investors first noted that the studio would be first be working on GTA IV downloadable content - exclusive to the Xbox 360 - available through until 2009. Take-Two also said that both the 360 and PS3 version of the game be visually almost identical, with the PS3 coming out slightly on top in some areas. "

Its still a port. Just that they have optimized some of the PS3 uniqueness in porting the game.

I bet the differences will be so minimal only rabid fanboys will be able to see the difference.

I'm sure we'll be seeing many comparisons when the games are released.

Im just happy that it runs better than I thought it would, usually ports run at 20fps and are pixalated messes.

Sorry to burst your bubble, it is still a port

Probably some lighting differences, and we all know how that's gone down in the past.. *cough*

 Rockstar wouldn´t dare do that with a game that big, I´m just happy everyone is getting a great version of the game :)

Yeah I think the problem is most developers aren't willing to delay a game 6 months just so that the PS3 version can look as good as the 360 one. Most developers simply don't have money to burn like that. It's too bad the PS3 isn't more like a PC/360 so developers didn't have to waste money like that.

I know its a port, just not a cheap port which sucks like rainbow six on the ps3.

 I think the one difference I heard in... I think it was an IGN preview... was that the PS3 had slightly better anti-aliasing. Which is strange, considering the level of "free" anti-aliasing the 360 gets.

wow, i never knew the ps3 version was even a port. infact i thought the 360 version was the port! or i at least thought it had two different dev teams for each format.
