Those of you who are complaining about how this game looks on both consoles, would you be willing to enlighten us as to what you were expecting from these ancient systems?

Because it isn't there. So even bringing it up is a pointless argument. anyone who is interested in this thread (or at least most people) are interested in playing gta V now.

yeah its too ambitious IMO, stunning detail if you dont move. but IQ and framerate suffer too much, so def wait on pc or ps4/xbone version otherwise.
disappointed given the insanely high review scores

they are correct in this case
both version are identical in their low quality IQ and framerate lol
Yeah I'm on a stock drive, maybe the SSHD would help.

yeah I dont get the rave reviews
like I mentioned before, the world detail is absolutely stunning. the engine just cant keep up unfortunately. if u dont care about low framerates in the 20's thats fine, I cant help but be disappointed however especially given such rave reviews.
i'd take 20 fps after playing halo 4 splitscreen mp and having it drop to 3fps and none of the reviews mentioning that
More interesting is the place from which your accusation comes from.
A DF article that slightly slants towards PS3 seems to be your real issue.

Yeah no this game runs like poop honestly, it's suprising the reviews don't mention this at all. Also the jaggies also everything, and I even got the ps3 version 
They always dealt with things that are relatively objective. While on the rumor side they and many others gave MS the benefit of the doubt for the PS4 vs XB1, on actual comparisons frame rates, resolution, and jaggies are not things you can be subjective on. Digital Foundry has always been one of my favourite sources for technical comparisons (there are only so many sources).
A lot of reasonable people like Adam Sessler, Kevin Peraria, that guy from ReviewTechUSA, the guys at Digital Foundry, and many others including people here just can't think that MS would throw away a generation and have no response to Sony and the PS4 technically.
MS earned the benefit of the doubt through a very solid showing this gen and doing most of the important things right, although they rapidly showed they probably don't deserve it this round.
It's a testament to how hard MS has worked to change their reputation and improve their brand. As a slightly older gamer and a IT guy; having business decisions make their products stupidly bad is MS hallmark. Windows ME, Vista, Windows 8, Office 2008, Exchange, etc... It's like they have an internal war with business people and technical people and when the business people win the product sucks. XB1 seems to be an example of that. It's their Gaming Windows ME. Maybe next round they'll come back with a Xbox XP.

What were you expecting. Did you play GTAIV on either console? How about RDR?
It's as good as you could expect from a native 1280x720 with post process AA. How nice it looks kind of depends on your TVs scaler as well.Yeah no this game runs like poop honestly, it's suprising the reviews don't mention this at all.

My tv is a 2011 Samsung D7000 3dtv I think it should have a decent scaler but you never know. It just looks so jaggy messy and honestly almost looks worse than RDR/GTA IV, I did play those on xbox360 so my televisions scaler didn't touch them but since the xbox360 scaler is nothing to write home about apparently this game just looks and runs bad.

Ugh this verdict is so annoying, if I had more psn friends the decision would be a no brainer.

glad both versions are near identical. picking up my ps3 bundle today at lunch! woot!
It looks much, much, much worse than the trailers in both image quality and performance.

Yeah this is where I am currently. It's like, there's no way I want to pick the shitty 360 version and deal with the double install, but I don't know about playing it on PS3 and not having anyone in particular to play with on October 1st. Plus not having a headset for PS3...
all modern HDTV's are fixed pixel displays...they can only display one resolution...their native one...if it displays a different resolution in the upper corner of the screen its just showing you the input resolution...the TV itself MUST upscale the image...
edge enhancement off? sharpness turned down? those can help with the jaggies to an extent...wont get rid of them...but can help

I've just had 3 consecutive hard locks on my slim PS3 and I've just deleted and reinstalling the game data where it stopped at 2100 MB the first time.
Never had this problem and I played a couple of hours before it begun. Faulty disc or is the game killing my console?
I just want to play!!

So has anyone mentioned yet how taxing the game is on the PS3 hardware? Fatties getting wrecked or sounding like ghostships like with TLoU? I mean my 80gig survived three TLoU playthroughs, but I'm a little nervous about playing GTA on the old thing...

Werd, but if you do go 360 don't install both discs.

Too many pages, while I expected GTA V to be much, much closer than GTA IV and RDR I still expected the XB360 version to eek out the "win". With the PS3 version being demoed I guess that should've been enough after all and that it was more than just the marketing partnership with Sony.
Pleasantly surprised, going to be interesting to see if future patches change this though or if Rockstar can improve both versions further, the XB360 version certainly seems like it has a little room to do so.
As for the not installing the second disc thing, I've been saying since the announcement that there would be a mandatory install that people probably shouldn't bother with the second disc and looks I was right. *Gives a cookie to himself.*

Fixed HW magically improves year after year. No trade-offs required.
Quite a bit, yea. But you'll still spend more of your time not blowing stuff up.
Hardly any different between the two when it comes down to it, though. Ground textures definitely seem better on the PS3, so that's what I'd consider a difference worth talking about.
The 360 scaler is very good actually, in most TV sets I've seen it does a better job than letting the TV (especially on LCD sets) do the upscaling...well except on a Pioneer Plasma set on which the difference between the two was literally non existent.
Now as a start lower the sharpness settings on your TV (start at around 25-30 and see how it goes), turn off crap like edge enhancement/dynamic noise reduction, 100Hz & DNIe and see if that helps with the IQ.

Im surprised by how good the graphics are. Performance aint ideal but certainly better than GTA4

Too little too late, but yeah. We've known this. Shitty vRAM and high price resulting in shitty install base are what doomed the PS3 in hindsight, not the architecture per se.

so.. it performs like GTA IV did on consoles, yet has a more expansive open world, better draw distances, and better lighthing.... but people are upset?
i just picked it up during my lunch break and fully expect to enjoy the game when i get home despite the frame rate being in the 20's.... which i expected, considering i'm a reasonable person who understands my PS3 is 7 years old.

I think that word is a bit more fitting being used as a descriptor for something like..... the Virtual Boy.
Go on please.

20fps? Sometimes less (and much less) when there's action?
God fucking damn it.

lol agreed, sorry. Was more thinking of 2007-2010 period. Worked out in the end, more or less.

Is there any chance the groundtextures on 360 might be patched?

Nice... I was debating on which to get PS3 or 360... I went for 360 based on the fact I prefer the 360 controller for GTA.

Many people (me included) complain about pop in with the PSN version, although there are some dissenting voices who can't detect anything wrong. I think pop in of street lights, street signs and big cars are very frequent with the PSN version when you are speeding in a fast car. I have not done side by side comparisons, but I watched the 360 version and ps3 disc version earlier today (brothers) and found no pop in at all with these versions.
There might be differences standing still also. Filmed a really ugly iphone video of pop in while standing on a hill looking down a road. Quite obvious pop in here, but yeah I guess it is far away. Someone in the OT playing a non PSN version said the pop in was not as bad for them.

It really doesn't look THAT bad for 6+ year old hardware.
Trailers are obviously buffed up.
It's a colossal step up from GTA IV

It is not surprising. The same happened for example for Last of Us, which had severe framerate issues. I do not know why reviewers don't give a shit for technical performance as it just doesn't matter and is not relevant to the overall gameplay experience. I guess most of the reviewers are just like NeoGAF-dudes, they don't give a shit about playability as long as pretty effects and a huge world is in the game.
