360 version is using Gamespy, too?
Ugh. Ugh.
I really wanted to play this online but this is equivalent of taking the online mode out.

Has anyone given any impressions of how online works yet? Probably won't be too bad.ShockingAlberto said:

I have bad, bad experiences with Gamespy. If I can avoid it (and I can!), I never want to use their terrible service ever again.

here is one for $5.99

sorry about that extra 99 cents....you might have to get a second job
but seriously, I'm sure if you keep searching you can find cheaper ones...most plug and play usb headsets.......I bet electronic stores have some old PC/PS2 ones they have stashed somewhere on clearance..
edit- heck you can get Bluetooth headsets for $10 or less

Could they even do that? I thought EA was the only ones allowed to have their own kind of online tier to use in conjunction with XBOX Live?

Are there no NPC pedestrians in free roam? I haven't seen any in these free roam streams.

Who in the hell wants to be tethered to the console like that? I always laugh when people suggest USB headsets for the PS3, it that thing plugged into the controller it'd be a different story.

Right now I sit kind of close to my TV so it wouldn't bother me too much.
However I would love for one that connected to the PS3 controller instead, just like the 360's. Does no one make those? Seems like Sony is missing on an opportunity to offer a cheap headset that is essentially wireless through it's controller.

Pretty sure there are, as you can go into towns and shoot them up to get the law after you.
For the record, I feel like a complete twat having both versions of the game and alternating between the two to try and compare things. :lol
I'm not as wonderful a nitpicker as so many of you, but at first glance, both games are really quite on par.
First initial impressions are that the 360 image is definitely brighter and consequently has a slightly washed out look by comparison, but conversely, the PS3's image is a little too dark in dark scenes. This is kind of par for the course with a lot of multiplatform games I've found, especially GTA4.
I could swear the pop issues are a little worse on the 360, but I mean, I might have just been racing the horse too fast at those moments when I noticed things, or whatever.
The audio seems somehow richer on the PS3 version. It's like there's a bit more bass and power to every sound effect and the dialogue.
To any normal human beinglol ) the framerates are fucking equal. I haven't stress tested it yet, but I shall shortly.
Really, they're both excellent. Are there are any specific things people want me to compare?
I have the 360 running at 1080i through component and the PS3 running at 720p through HDMI.
Also, funny story, first thing I did when I had liberty to roam in the 360 version was race out of town, and shoot the first passing rider I saw. He fell off his horse, foot still stuck in the stirrup, and the horse bolted, dragging him by one leg for half a mile before the body fell off! :lol :lol :lol

I would guess that there are, especially after GTAIV's Free Roam had pedestrians, but I have yet to see any in these RDR Free Roam streams. Kinda weird.

IIRC you have to do challenges in-game to unlock the outfit, you don't start out with it. That's how the Deadly Assassain Outfit is from my understanding.
You should see a silhouette of it in the Outfits section though, try to find it there.

well the console only sets resolution right? IT won't effect color or saturation of brightness, seriously I'm asking. If the games have the same gamma defaults then it's shouldn't matter is what I'm assuming.Big Ass Ramp said:

I'm getting it on both platforms too...got a friend who's just dying to play online with me but only has a PS3. I want the 360 version, though. Yah, I'm a consumer whore.
Actually, the opposite. If they put it on and it's not in there that's misappropriation/trademark infringement. If they put it on there and it's not substantively the same as PS3 it's arguably dilution (barring a private contract licensing the mark for this specific and different use).zero margin said:

Poor Magnus. This is sort of like letting a soccer mom drive a Ferrari then making her describe the experience to car experts. :lol :lol

I think you can change color settings. I think it's more than just resolution, at least.
