Forums - Gaming - WTF! GTAIV 360: 720p, PS3: 620p ?!?

My question is why are the developers doing this to PS3. Imagine what it'll look like if the game was 1080p. I would think PS3 has the raw power for it so they should use it.

 because nobody figured out how to work all the cores in a way it was meant to be used? I mean, look how long they took to figure out PS2. God of War 2 is one of the best looking PS2 games and it came at almost the end of its lifespan.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

Ah.. thats too funny if true!


You know whats really funny Gebx, this is a gif of the 360 version. I hope you enjoy your higher native Resolution.


No, what's truly funny is your reliance on a 160x90 animated gif that runs at God only knows what framerate as proof of anything.


I don't really care what framerate the gif runs at, but i can clearly tell major pop-ins and textures not loading. It also looks like another person has posted a Gif showing off the greatness that is GTA4. But i'll post it again incase you don't see it.

Wow - looks like a "perfect 10" to me, and the "best game ever made" :P

What's a bit of pop-in between friends anyway...

 


I think the first one is from an old build, but the tree one could be real. It's one of the points made in a review. If that's the final build of the 360, and does not happen on the PS3... again, why not the option to install on the 360? I just don't get it.

I seriously doubt that the pop-up is that bad on the 360, even the ones iwth bad DVD drives.  Not ONE reviewer ever reported pop-in so bad that trees/traffic appeared out of nowhere and f*cked them up.  If that happened to me, that'd be an automatic 10% off.

 



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

No, the box also says it runs in native 720p for both platforms, the PS3 version is the only one that upscales to 1080p as well, I googled it.

You "googled it"? Well I guess we can close the thread now, apparently leo-j googled it....

The box doesn't say native resolutions. Game boxes have said for some time now the standard resolutions it upscales to so that the average consumer isn't confused. Halo 3 didn't say 640p. CoD4 didn't say 600p. I know the PS3 GTA box says 720p/1080i/1080p but those aren't native resolutions.

The guy who brought this up on NeoGAF is the same who found out Halo and CoD's actual resolutions. I'd say at this point he has some credibility....


If the PS3 version of the game, runs better, has steadier framerate, has less antialising, and upscales to 1080p, its not likely that just because some guy said that its 640p on the PS3 makes it fact.

I call this complete bull $hit simply because GTA 4 is better looking, and runs better than on the Playstation 3 than on the XBOX 360 as confirmed by all reviewers except Kotaku.



 

mM

Um....aren't all reviewers saying that the ps3 version looks "sharper"? A lower resolution would make it look softer, if AA is the same on both.

While it's not fact, this is the guy who broke the news on the Halo, CoD4, MGO, and GT5p resolutions (there are more but I'm not remembering them all). At this point, I'll take his word for it.

I think IGN said the trees popping up was bad, to the point of distracting. It could be he just never ran into one. Or, it could be that it's not that bad. We will know in 24 hours :) 



Doesn't matter either way the game is bad ass on both systems.Unlucky for me i have to wait until next week since my 360 is sorta somewhere in my basement but it's getting redone so no 360 for a week i'll just be beating LOZ:TP again while in waiting. Or abusing my chao's in SA2 just to have the feeling like I'm playing GTA...



Former something....

Haha, I find funny all the PS3 people who are now saying resolution doesn't matter. If you really think that, then stop pushing the BS about HD and I'll also point to this thread the next time anyone mentions higher resolution is better.

As an FYI, in general, the lower the resolution, the better the game runs. Since the processors and GPU has less actual pixels to worry about, more processing power is put to the other things like post processing effects which is why the PS3 looks better according to some accounts. This is the reason why Lair was horrible in 1080p, they weren't able to render the entire area without significant problems. Its also the reason why you can easily play Crysis in 1024x768 while having problems at higher res.

Btw, this is the guy who discovered the native res on number of other games so he has credibility, much more so than the people on here denying it.

Wait so your argument for why it's BS that it runs at 640p is that it "runs better", "has steadier framerate", "has less antialising" and it "upscales to 1080p"

First off if it runs better and has a steadier framerate how does that mean it can't be 640p or even that it'd be less than the 360 resolution?  You later argue it "looks" better according to reviews and that could be a valid argument against it having a lower resolution, but not that it runs better.

Also who said it has less antialiasing?  The IGN review said the PS3 version has better AA which would imply at least equal if not more than the 360 and quaz51's analysis backs that up.

And do I even need to bother explaining how completely idiotic you sound when you bring up the fact that it "upscales to 1080p" as a reason as to why it can't be 640p?
