IGN Reviews GTA4: 0.1 better than Jade Empire, but will it have Jade's staying power?

If this is indeed true (which will be easy to determine with both copies next week), then it appears that IGN has intentionally inflated the Xbox 360 score for some unknown reason.

What they are describing here is a noticeably inferior product with -
1. worse frame-rate
2. MUCH worse pop-in
3. more aliasing

Combine that with the distinct possibility of the PS3 version featuring uncompressed audio, and it seems ridiculous to award the 360 version a perfect score.

Ps3 version is mine.

Still interested in the X360 dlc though.

Ugh.

The multiconsole plan (what i'll be doing):

1. Buy the PS3 version.
2. Does the DLC sound good? If so, get or trade for 360 version, buy DLC.
3. Enjoy the fucking game either way.

They already said the ps3 would get DLC :/ Just not the 360 DLC that everyones been talking about. Some people seem to think the ps3 wont get anything at all. Which is silly.

Smells suspiciously like MS moneyhats to me. If IGN and EGM are anything to go by, I'd be more inclined to believe that the PS3 version deserves the 10, with the borked 360 port receiving a full point less.

I must say, for a game that I couldn't care less about (for all you whiny sissies out there that isn't an indictment on the game), the amount of 360/PS3 bickering over nothing really makes this thread interesting to read. That and the Ocarina comment.

Also :lol @ the second title change.

PS3 version is the one to get (if you don't care about DLC) due to comments made from IGN and EGM.

San Andreas was amazing. Unbelievable that they pulled off something even greater, 10's in every category is really something. EA keep away.

DLC is one thing, but a PS3 fanboy I know is considering the 360 version because of pretty much universal voice chat and the ability to see all his friends online. It is good news for PS3 users used to the reverse scenario though. It may not be that big a deal, but it's probably a nice change.

That's nice i guess, but the only reviews i take serious are those of Eurogamer nowadays.

Lol @ title. You should take the 10's away, see how many will flame because they didn't read the OP :lol .

Yeah I refuse to have the gameplay spoiled for me. I didn't even read the review. But I was soooo tempted to press play on the video. I just sat there looking at it for a few minutes with my index finger on my mouse :lol

It doesn't. Nor does the 360 version suffer from horrendous pop-in.

Funny how it was unfair to overplay the differences when the 360 was "superior" but now this will be blown up to the point where GTA4 on the 360 is unplayable and should be avoided.

don't know if this was asked or was in the review. did it mention how big the install was for the ps3?
Click to expand...

Skip already mentioned that it's a ~5 min install.

RR7 & DMC4 = 5GB 20 min install

Knowing the above....

GTA IV ≈ ~1.25GB ~5 min install

Nice, glad the only version I can play isn't running as bad as splinter cell ps3, or other bad ports. I wouldn't have minded a half life 2 "inferior" port. Glad it's running at least equal.

While GTA IV is pushing the PS3 and 360 to the limit, it also runs amazingly well. Sure, there are framerate hitches here and there and (particularly on 360) there is some texture pop-in, but it actually runs better than I expected.

its kinda implied. the word 'particularly' is kinda scary

Play with friends who have voice chat. My list of GAFfers all do!

And just to prove my good will - I'll play with your fanboy friend and have voice chat. Jstevenson on PSN, yo.

Awesome score. I'm sick of reading and seeing it, time to play this bitch already.

Looks like a great game, glad I preordered it from Dell and saved the $10. Hope it arrives on time next week.
wish their video review covered more of the multiplayer
