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.

So if you could only get one version which one would you get?

facepalm

Seriously, both look great. Flip a coin

I think he was choosing that spawn point on purpose so he could get revenge - not that it was working.

I really don't think he was considering he said in the chat that he couldn't get out of there.

I retract a previous statement.

The 360's framerate wins this. I put them both through their paces running through the most crowded town I have access to, and as much as it pains me to say it (being a PS3 fanboy), I might go with the 360 version since the most fluid image ranks up there for me on the list of priorities.

But seriously, really, they're both amazing. I'm just doing this for interest's sake. :lol

(fuck me though, I want that exclusive outfit :lol )

But goddamn, this system's loud. I only have a 20gb, and probably don't have room to install this. Let's see what I can delete, haha.

 

[Snapshot King]

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.

Wait, there's console exclusive stuff now too? Also, anybody know what gamestops EXCLUSIVE challenges is or anything?

looks like your club membership is now revoked.

 

[BobTheFork]

So if the ps3 version is up to par here, why the hell would they NEVER show it once in all of the media they have done?

 

[Truespeed]

So did we ever get an anwser of which version runs better technically?

That iPhone version looked pretty good. I would go with that.

 

[zero margin]

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).

I conceded it could mean it's the entire MP. So actually, not really opposite at all. :lol @ that last part.

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.

You might want to set the RGB Full Range option to Limited (Settings > Display Settings)

 

[jedimike]

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.

Actually, the TV has individual settings for each input. The differences he is seeing is most certainly because of the settings on his TV. Especially since he's talking about things like color saturation and brightness... All related to TV calibration except pop-up.

 

[dwin45]

Should it be set to limited for all games?

 

[Snapshot King]

Can anybody clear this up for me.

http://www.gamestop.ca/gs/rockstar/default.html

This page says you unlock the outfit via these in-game challenges...does that mean these challenges only exist in the gamestop version? Or that you can ONLY get the outfit in the gamestop version?

Or does it simply mean the gamestop version lets you start with the outfit instead of having to do that stuff?

Isn't the same case with GTA4? It seems like the 360 version had better framerate, iirc.

Good job, Magnus.

 

[Truespeed]

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.

Ah ha, 360 version has sub HD sound! Play field leveled!

 

[zero margin]

Hell yeah, grab the bag mode

 

[DaveH]

oh jeez, stop that nonsense. None of us know the business relationship between gamespy and rstar, that kind of speculation is ridiculous and unwarranted.

No, but we know the law. If they're not the same and there's no quality controls that's naked licensing. If they're not the same and done without permission that's dilution. I qualified in my OP "barring a private contract" which you ignored or are simply ignorant of the law given your need to recite "none of us know the business relationships" which is exactly what "private contract" entails. Duh.

 

[sneakypete]

The MP stream is amazing. Before the round started everyone was fist fighting in a huge group, so awesome. Then there was a showdown(mexican stand-off between two teams instead of everyone for themselves), MP looks addictive as hell.

 

[dread9]

Good job, Magnus.

from what I rememeber IGN did a review on GTA4 and concluded that the both had certain elements over the other, but ultimately the ps3 was slightly better. Could just be my memory though.

you can worry about shit like that, I'll worry about the game.

 

[G_Berry]

Good job, Magnus.

Yeah GTA IV on 360 definitely had a more stable framerate and besides the shadow dither, a much sharper vibrant look.

I figured it would be the same with RDR.

 

[soldat7]

Crossing narrow bodies of water confirmed!

 

[Nelo Ice]

damn can someone pm me the mp stream?

 

[Snapshot King]

Seriously, can anybody answer my question about those pre-order bonuses.

Yeah me too.

Best pre-game lobby ever. Just start beating the shit out of the guys next to you.

He's already said he works for a PS3 component manufacturer, but I'm sure he's not biased..

R* hasn't really commented on the exclusives at all. You'll have to wait until more people get the game to find out I suppose.

 

[Truespeed]

You really thought that sub HD sound comment was serious?

seriously?

HD seriously?

 

[Magnus]

Man, I just lost track of my mission here and just went off on a wilderness killing spree near Hennigan's Stead. Framerate was beautiful out in the wilds even on the PS3 version.

I can't nitpick here. It's a beautiful game no matter how you slice it.

I'm going to try the RGB Limited option though, thanks. We'll see if it clears up the very dark blacks I've been getting with the game.

 

[DeadGzuz]

Good job, Magnus.

360 was not v-sync'ed while the PS3 was, so the PS3 had to drop to 20fps when at anything between 20-29fps, but no tearing. Maybe the same in this game.

 

[zero margin]

edited. Inflammatory.

Would I need to do this on an SDTV?

To be fair, that component resides in all 3 consoles.

wait, I thought you wanted dark blacks. Isn't that why you buy a plasma screen?

Perhaps I'm just getting old but I don't find that funny at all.

Test your honor.

Magnus, can you answer this question?

Right i think that's enough of this thread for now things are just going in circles.

You made me do it.

SOLD me on 360 I was so far on the fence, but in heavy gunfights and online battles frame rates are going to suffer it seems on the PS3.. Exclusive content or not framerate wins.. IT can make or break a game..

 

[Loudninja]

Thanks for the impressions Magnus both versions sounds great.

Check your pm's clyde.

That's my protest avatar. Sony made Kratos severe the head of Linus Torvalds.

Is the mp stream still up? I would love to check it out.
