Hmmm...I am only half an hour in, but the 360 version has some goddawful aliasing. It's been awhile since I played GTA4 on the console though, so not sure if it's more then that.

Stop using component cables and you won't be getting terrible overscanned image on your tv anymore.

Well..

This and being forced to use L2/R2 to shoot made this game a pick up at $30 or lower (which should be around the holidays).

Might've already been covered elsewhere, but here goes: can you dual-wield in this game? And if so, what weapons can you do it with?

They're selling it at Home Depot close to my house. Pre-order bonus was sandpaper and I saw some happy lumberjacks walking out of the store with a few copies. Properly gloved of course.

I hope that I get enough posts soon so that the "Junior" part of my member title disappears, then I too can look down my nose at people with fewer posts than me and call them fucktards.

I think some of the other "Juniors" make a fair point. I was going to get the 360 version for the higher res, faster loading times and better framerate, but now I'm worried that my postman might decide to stamp all over my 360 disc and scratch it to shit, so I might just have to get the PS3 version instead as that's postman-proof, plus I'm not sure I can get the disc from the case to the disc tray without dropping it into a pile of barbed wire and broken glass, so a scratch resistant Blu-Ray is possibly the way to go.

My TV is a samsung 40" 720p TV from 2007, using component. Would I get a big switch in image quality switching to HDMI?

Not big. I've always thought the jump was pretty slight, but ultimately worth it.

I've skimmed through most of this thread and sadly I'm not sure when people are serious or not, I own both systems, am I understanding that the 360 is much better version?


straight answer please

The level of indecisiveness in this thread made me forget what it was that ought to be settled.

GOW 3 looks good right ? I'm picking that up (on PS3)

On my 50" Pioneer Kuro going from Component to HDMI wasn't a huge deal but it did look slightly sharper and colors looked better IMO, I'd say its was worth it. (Xbox360).

Game looks great out in the wide open spaces, glorious mountain ranges, ridges and backdrops.

Then my buddy came to a town. The geometry of the buildings and interiors looked quite aliased (360). Still a damn pretty game.

What's wrong with MGS4? That they opted for 768p (1024x768)? That's the native resolution of older CRT HDTVs and many currently sold Plasma based HDTVs. Probably quite common in Japan.

Um, there's no way to actually get a PS3 to OUTPUT 768p, so any native resolution advantage would be eliminated by the two passes of scaling.

Big improvement? No, probably not. $2.39 worth of an improvement? Absolutely. Hell, convenience alone is worth $2.39, the added picture quality is a bonus.

Has Rockstar ever made an HD PS3 game? Apparently, they let the interns do the PS3 port again. Oh well, 360 version it is when the slim arrives.

Got my RDR today with as a freebie, the bluray of The good, the bad and the ugly :)

Just enjoy the game guys, the differences are minimal, bought the 360 version just to be able to install it fully

What the hell is going on in this thread?


Did the botch the PS3 port like Bayonetta? I'm actually very interested in this game and I only have PS3.


Can someone do a non-joking summary?

I think the choice on which version to get is pretty easy for you then.

Ironically, Bayonetta on the PS3 is 720p and 30FPS for the most part. PS3 version of RDR is 640p and missing about 20% of the pixels of the 360 version. Frame rate is a stable 30FPS until the action gets hectic.

Now not caring for all this console warrior bullshit, What are the real differences? I mean, what are these PS3 exclusive things i read about somewhere and do they make a difference to gameplay or are they just extra costumes? I have the 360 version pre-ordered, but would change it if there is extra gameplay on PS3.

Damnit! So I guess I'll skip this one. Jumpy framerate gives me a headache.

Is the 360 said to have stable framerate?

Damn this thread, it's made me buy the game for my 360 instead of my PS3, which means I have to move my 360 next to my PS3 so I can play this game on a better HDTV and sound system. Game deserves no less it seems.

miamijaaz is my live handle. See you online!

The PS3 extras are a hat and a hideout with bandits to fight.

I dont think graphics, and in this case minor graphic differences, can possibly affect the enjoyment of this game. It's just so well designed and written.

Same here. I have the PS3 version of GTAIV and bought the PC version not too long ago. It's a memory hog, but damn it looks amazing. I'm replaying it because it feels like a whole new game. (Correction, I WAS replaying it but now that RDR is home, the replay will have to wait!)

Then try VGA.

720P image with 2xMSAA should look crisp as shit on most sets. Unless you are on 1080P then most 360 games are going to have jaggies.

My set is 1360x768 native res, and every 720P game I have looks really crystal clear and clean. However when I used component I'd get jaggies due to overscanning.
