Wow, 4 pages of graphics comparisons? Who would actually read all of this.



I read it, and its clear and simple. Both have virtually no difference in quality. The writer did super analysis, over 3000 words and thats the conclusion - no difference.



just buy the game for the console your friends have

wow, I read it. The guy is VERY 360 biased in his writing style. Is that common for that site?

That said, it's patently clear that Rockstar hasn't handed in a lazy conversion here. Creative decisions have been made to compensate for the technical limitations, and by and large they really work, to the point where you sometimes wonder why they couldn't have been applied to the Xbox 360 version too. PS3 GTA IV looks absolutely fantastic, and even factoring in zero anti-aliasing support and a lower resolution, in many scenarios it looks as good as the 360 version, if not better.

 

How can you call this bias? I just read the whole thing and this guy has used very reliable techniques, and even then, he pretty much says that both versions are identical.

He is not being dishonest in his assessment, but he does things like take a shot at the mandatory install, (you can tell he is putting it down), call the PS3 code a port from the 360 (I don't think it is), and while says they look the the same, on things that actually do look better for the PS3 (like the reflection and seeing the city from the helicopter) he totally discredits, and yet goes into detail about how the 360 "could" look better if rock-star chose to add some feature to access it.

He also takes a shot at the cost of the PS3 hardware. 

 



One important distinction. The Xbox360 framerate is 18 percent higher on top of having a higher resolution!

At that right there I would say that the Xbox360 is the better version of the game because I hate slowdowns.



Tease.

 Very. on that site there are lots of ps360 comparissens and they always pick the 360 to be the best version everytime. i have never known the site to compliment the ps3 version of a game before
