No, that's just not true.
That video is highly misleading with the appearance of that Get Life building. The same thing can and does occur on both versions. In fact, it is more common on XBOX360, from what we can tell (but similar on both). The game is very dynamic and it can become difficult to reproduce certain strange occurances.
That situation could have EASILY been reversed. The 360 video has them flying directly at the building without ever changing directions. The PS3 segments, however, shows that they were turning somewhat to the left before snapping back. I believe this somewhat confused the game engine. It could have occured on 360, no doubt.
That's why I feel that segment was misleading. To the casual viewer, it makes it seem as if a pop-up problem exists on PS3 while there is no issue on 360. That is absolutely false.
sorry, no!
I was sure before, but I tested 10 mins ago by stealing a chopper and doing all sorts of stupid stuff.
no matter how I turned, from what altitude, all the big buildings where always visible to me, and from distances that are a multitude of what was shown in that comparative video.
and that specific building that caught my eye on the video, its one of the big ones in the game, that SHOULD remain visible from a long distance.
for example, that building was visible to me since I took the heli from
and remained visible until I got there.
the weather in my test was night + fog/rain, and to make sure I would not do the machine any favors,
I caused a small mayhem driving on the road right before stealing the chopper.
even pausing the game having my back turned on the building for a couple of minutes (by going to the map),
then un-pausing and turn as quickly as possible, did not produce the disappear trick.
so if I can't reproduce that "GetaLife disappearance" trick by trying my best for more than five minutes,
how can I accept your post as correct?
I guess anybody with a working 360 can easily reproduce my "test" and have the same conclusion..
its no big deal of course, but I had to test for sure since it caught my eye on the first place...
