CE isnt worth buying IMO

blimp code is also in the regular edition, I actually prefer regular artwork to the steelbook artwork, and the blueprint map seems useless (and the cheapasses didnt put anything on the other side like a poster art)

not worth the extrs $20 IMO

 

[ufo8mycat]

This will not happen because Gamers don't give a fuck for image quality or framerate except maybe 5%. Most of them don't even notice. Hell, even reviewers don't give a fuck. I didn't read any GTA V reviews but I don't need to to know that it probably got very high ratings in the graphics departement as well.

Yeah though I think there are also some that notice but it doesn't impact them.

Me for example
Do I notice the difference between 30fps and 60fps or (720p/1080p) in games? Yes
Does it impact me and/or does moving to 60fps improve the enjoyability of the game for me? Nope - same level of enjoyability.

Though I do have a 'baseline', it's just lower.
I would expect developers to reach for higher levels for those gamers that have higher baselines though.

 

[Nymphae]

The game will be great regardless of which system you purchase it for. I pray to God I'm never as stuck up as some of you Elitist-mentality PC jackasses.

This.

 

[The Albatross]

For me, the number of friends that have the 360 and 360 version of this game trumps the slight advantage the PS3 version might have.

Also lol at everybody stoking platform wars in this thread when DF says over and over that the differences are slight and the games are as close to identical as any multiplat games.

I got the big ce and I'm not a fan of snap backs but man its a nice ce. Plus I got it for 30 pounds cheaper than retail. Really happy with it. Happy to support rockstar

 

[Bad_Boy]

If people are up in arms about small graphical differences like this between the 360/PS3 versions. I think the next gen is really going to hurt feelings.

 

[-PXG-]

I would have loved to know this yesterday. Oh well. My 360 has more HDD space anyway. 60 GB PS3 is running tight.

Do you have a blacklight?

 

[Salacious Crumb]

Probably the last DF article worth reading as I suspect it will always be PC>PS4>One next gen. Good to see the versions are as close as they are. Bring on the PC release please.

 

[UrbanRats]

Do you have a blacklight?

SONOFABITCH!

Spoiler

I don't have a blacklight. :\

 

[Recall]

I'm fine not owning a PC, to this day i dont understand why people care what others preferred platform of choice is and why we must be belittled for not being "correct"

Preaching is the worst.

We all love video games why must we fight over silly shit.

 

[BruiserBear]

Not a fan of DF, don't like how they downplay issues with 360 code to glitches and the dev's fault, however; according to them the framerate advantage on 360 is mostly in cutscenes. They mentioned that whilst playing the game the PS3 pulls ahead in more crucial situations and in more extended play.

Yeah, that's what they said in the article. Then you watch their analysis video and see the 360 with a slight advantage in all but 30 seconds of the video. I'm still trying to reconcile their words with their video.

[Krilekk]

Whoever writes that this game manages a near stable 30 fps or is an improvement over IV needs their eyes checked. Yeah, the framerate is that bad and has a huge impact on controls. The game itself is great but the technical issues should've kept it from getting any 10s. It's a stable 20 fps game.

 

[ironcreed]

So they didn't test the PSN version at all?

Come on now DF.

PSN version seems fine to me. Identical to all of the PS3 footage floating around out there. I have noticed a bit of pop-in here and there, but it is infrequent and random. Looks, plays and runs great. Considering the age of these consoles, Rockstar should be commended for pushing the game as far as they did on BOTH consoles, while keeping everything stable.

 

[RS4-]

The game runs smoother than the brutal console versions of GTAIV.

 

[pestul]

I'm glad both games are very similar.. but I really hope this gets released on nextgen or PC. Call me an elitist, but I really can't play 20-30fps games.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Ps3 version it is!

 

[jbueno]

Yuck, PC version for me, if it ever comes out.

 

[Zee-Row]

Getting the PS3 version because of the controller. RDR and GTA4 on PS3s issues didnt bother me enough either.

 

[flyinpiranha]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fbYyMq4cGU

I just watched video (only read the article earlier). Did they just happen to film something that wasn't representative of what they played or something? I notice the same thing, that the 360 has the edge (albeit very small) in a majority of that video.

 

[BruiserBear]

You should watch this analysis video and stop making up your own facts.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fbYyMq4cGU

No, it's absolutely not a locked 30fps game, but it's average is closer to 30 than it is to 20.

 

[War Eagle]

Glad I went with PS3. Can't wait to get home tonight and throw this bad boy in and play. How long did the PS3 install take?

 

[Chanser]

I'll probably triple dip, buy the PS4 and PC version.

That's what DF articles are about, minor platform differences. It's a lot more relevant than what platform YOUR friends are on, for sure.

 

[zma1013]

I've always said that devs need to prioritise IQ and framerate over any fancy graphical effects. I simply will not buy any game which runs at 25FPS for 90% of the game. I know the next-gen gen consoles aren't packing monster specs, but they are a substantial improvement over what we have. I hope all games will be minimum 30FPS next gen :\

It won't matter what the next-gen consoles pack, if the developers find it acceptable to have sub-30fps in their games, they'll simply push the next-gen consoles to that same sub-30fps point by adding more graphical effects. If standards aren't enforced by the hardware manufacturers, then the software devs will simply push the system past it's limits. This issue will not go away next gen.

People were hyping themselves up for that? There must be millions of disappointed souls today.

 

[FloatingDivider]

Well I bought the ps3 version and it runs like ass or atleast it feels that way, also it doesn't upscale to 1080 so my tv has to do it. Is everyone sure the xbox360 version is worse because this doesn't look spectacular either.

 

[maneil99]

Even though a PC version would be awesome for me personally, I hope it never comes so these babies have to suck it up

 

[Nethaniah]

Then this game is never going to get bought by me that's for sure, 20fps, lol R* can get lost with that trash.

Sure they will really miss all those PC sales. Lol a drop in the bucket

 

[Nethaniah]

Okay? Seems like you have some issues you might want to deal with, good luck with that.

 

[Mr E.]

Glad I just play games because there fun and I like them.

Why are you upscaling? Upscaling is balls.

 

[maneil99]

Yea I must have issues, being able to play any game without worry how it looks. Someone call a doctor

 

[Trogdor1123]

Its nice when everyone gets a good game to play. Happy time! Now we just need a 60fps 1080p version on next gen!

 

[Plywood]

It sounds like there's nothing that will hamper anyone's enjoyment either way.

So.... everybody wins?

 

[Felix Lighter]

Yea I must have issues, being able to play any game without worry how it looks. Someone call a doctor

He's probably talking about your spiteful desire to see the game never released on the PC platform.

 

[Nethaniah]

Yea I must have issues, being able to play any game without worry how it looks.

No i meant the issues you have with people that don't have the same platform as you, seems like there are some unresolved feelings there, did those people beat you up in highschool or make fun of you or something?? Either way, good luck with that.

 

[FloatingDivider]

Why are you upscaling? Upscaling is balls.

I'm not upscaling, my tv is native 1080p it always upscales if shit comes in at 720p which is what gta5 is coming in at according to my display info despite my ps3 being set at 1080p.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Then this game is never going to get bought by me that's for sure, 20fps, lol R* can suck a dick.

Yeah, he's got issues.

Lol.

 

[maneil99]

What? What a shitty insult. I have a PC, I am typing on it as we speak. I am saying people like you acting all high and mighty and saying this game is trash and unplayable is laughable. The game is great, wait 6 months for a PC port then may or may not ever arrive. Sure telling Rockstar to suck a dick will help. Someone seems pretty mad

 

[Nethaniah]

Yeah, he's got issues.

Lol.

He does indeed have issues, i fully agree.

What? What a shitty insult. I have a PC, I am typing on it as we speak. I am saying people like you acting all high and mighty and saying this game is trash and unplayable is laughable.

I'm still correct in that assessment though regardless of wether or not it's laughable.

 

[CoG]

Having playing the PS3 version of GTA4 I'm surprised. Never played the 360 version but hear it looked and performed a lot better.

 

[Mr E.]

I'm not upscaling, my tv is native 1080p it always upscales if shit comes in at 720p which is what gta5 is coming in at according to my display info despite my ps3 being set at 1080p.

There aren't many PS3 games at 1080p though. I don't think. My TV self adjusts to whatever come through it.

 

[Arcteryx]

Did you try forcing 720p in the display options under system settings? You have to uncheck everything but 720p. Stupid system(it should ask what you want to use) but that's how it is.

 

[matrix-cat]

I've played about ten hours of it, and it has the same problem GTA IV did where the framerate takes a dive any time you try to pan the camera in a busy area. The framerate drops as the traffic density rises

Gives me a bit of a headache, and the controls are noticeably laggy, but what are you gonna do? I'll be all over the PC version, but until then I can't exactly not play GTA V.

 

[maneil99]

If its unplayable how come people are able to play it. lol

 

[Seanspeed]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fbYyMq4cGU

Yea, that is weird. Xbox pretty clearly has about a 2fps advantage over the PS3 version on average.

Not that this makes much difference in the end, but its definitely not what its in the article.

 

[thelastword]

Well I bought the ps3 version and it runs like ass or atleast it feels that way, also it doesn't upscale to 1080 so my tv has to do it. Is everyone sure the xbox360 version is worse because this doesn't look spectacular either.

It's a 720p native game, why would you want to upscale to 1080p so that it looks blurrier. Have you unchecked 720p in video settings on the PS3?

 

[Raiden]

Is the Playstation 4 backwards compatible? My PS3 died some time ago but i feel like playing the PS3 version now.

Might as well play it on PS4 then.
