Random question: Wasn't on GAF when this thread happened, so question: Why are so many reviewers saying GTA4 looks better on PS3? That's kind of objectively wrong, right?
Some reviewers were saying they prefer the "warmer" look of the PS3 version. This goes together with a statement of one on the Houser brothers who also said he prefers the way the PS3 renders stuff. Later we found out (the twist is somewhere in this thread) that it's sub-hd and that this look was mostly caused by the upscaling blur. Knowing that HDTVs were still kinda new back then, maybe people were reminded of the picture on a CRT?
Also the 360 version had its fair share of problems itself, so this debate got rather heated. And I think there were even more threads about this. People got banned for touching up images on purpose, etc. Crazy times!
