Support NeoGAF

[kamspy]

You know, a useful comparison thread would be pretty sweet actually.

 

[Truespeed]

Hopefully, Leadbetter, over a DF, will get over his iPad fixation and get to work on something that will generate actual page hits.

 

[ryan-ts]

So is there actually anything concrete here or what? Or is it people just taking the words from various websites resulting in conflicting opinions which in turn results in me learning nothing about the actual differences between the two games?

 

[Pucc]

Bu...bu...but, your avatar depicts a character in a game exclusive to the PS3! You must be a fanboy!

:lol

:lol so true!

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Wait so what are the actual differences :lol

Judging by the thread so far I'd say that one version comes on DVD and one comes on BluRay.

 

[jiggles]

I'm sure if it was confirmed that it didn't have XMB soundtrack support that at least of few people would pop off with stuff like

"Preorder canceled"
"GAME X HAS IT WHY CAN'T BLAH BLAH BLAH"
"FUCK YOOOOUUU R*"
"Just saved me $60"
etc

Hey, if I can't play my Lady Gaga while riding through the fields, the game ain't worth shit.

 

[coopolon]

It seems like there are more people in this thread whining about console wars and discussing how stupid comparisons are then there are console wars and stupid comparisons.

Edit: Nevermind.

looks like they don't have the game yet.

I got my Justin Beiber tracks lined up ready to go.

And this surprises you?

Eurogamer already reviewed it so he should have access to it.

 

[coopolon]

I'm pretty new here.

 

[Brannon]

Man, I have a smile on my face. Old times. 1990's GAF in full effect right here. I love it!

But which version blows the other version out of the water?

 

[bryehn]

Holy Shit, this is the best.

Banned meme

Have a read of this kid.

Can't wait until Thursday. UK release isn't till Friday, but my postman tends to be like Sonic in human form.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

If Soy were smart, they'd let everyone use MLAA.

 

[Pooya]

he twitted that they won't see the game until launch, I think he meant EU launch.

 

[The Omega Man]

this thread is like the cantina/salon of RDR, shots can be fired any moment

I hear the DS version is the best.

Soy is a smart choice. Great source of protein.

Dear God I bet devs and programmers read comments like this and weep.

 

[Vilix]

We don't know yet:lol .
these are confiremd
PS3
-Exclusive content: gang outfit and gang hideout
-support for custom soundtrack (XMB)
-Home avatars
-resolution ???
-600MB install (mandatory)
-Gamespy

360
-720p 2xMSAA (confirmed by MazingerDUDE)
-Avatar awards

there were some framerate comparisons by Magnus and he said framerate is better on 360.
He wrote about lots of other things like lighting, tearing, pop in etc (nothing important, small things), I can't find his posts, they are in the official thread.

that is all.

So, the 360 version doesn't allow me to play the music on my HDD while playing this game?

 

[sdornan]

So, the 360 version doesn't allow me to play the music on my HDD while playing this game?

All 360 games let you do that.

 

[Vilix]

All 360 games let you do that.

I know that. That's why I highlighted what was listed as a PS3 pro.

Soy Jism is the best kind I hear

 

[Dan Yo]

This thread is getting out of hand. I think moderators should be controlling a thread like this because there has already been a page and a half of jokes and useless comparisons.

Also when did neogaf turn into gamefaqs? There is a lot of fanboy bickering going on.

Ever since people started name-dropping Neogaf on Gametrailers.

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

Well, in PS3-land that is a pro.

 

[RSTEIN]

omg :lol

 

[Pooya]

Because it's game specific on PS3, some may want to know if it is there or not, it's common knowledge that custom soundtrack works in all 360 games.
The list isn't a pro/con list, it's the info we know about the game, Gamespy for online for example is a con.
edit:updated the list for accuracy.

 

[zero margin]

ooofta. Got piss type level shivers from that one.

 

[G_Berry]

I'll just wait for Digital Foundry.

 

[Facism]

Gamespy isn't a con. It's a crime against humanity. Would rather have a gif of a dog fucking a cat's face when i choose to go online then have to suffer shytespy.

 

[Sanic]

Thanks for the promotion. The fact that you have no idea what it symbolizes makes it even more special.

You may want to not take it as a personal attack. Chill, dude.

 

[AranhaHunter]

Sure, why not? If they like the softer look of subHD on one game why not another?

IIRC both versions of GTA4 were sub HD.

Anyways can anyone answer

I've been curious about this and I think this is as good a thread as any to ask this, what makes a review go on metacritic? What I mean is the Eurogamer, Eurogamer Spain reviews seems to be for both the PS3 and 360, but it's only on the PS3 meta and not on the 360. Likewise Gamesradar PS3 review is up on meta, but not the 360 one. I'm sure there are more examples and other examples of some reviews that are on 360 but not on PS3, but you get my point. So does anyone know why that is? What makes a review go up on meta?

Or nobody knows?

 

[kuYuri]

Is this the first time a console game this gen is using Gamespy for online? First time I've even heard that GS is going to be used in RDR.

 

[Cant0na]

why you gotta kick a man when hes down like that

 

[Gareth Bale]

Probably true. Gametrailers has a surprisingly large community, but the forums are poorly run and the user base heavily skewed towards the PS3 section.

This thread, until there are images that we can pixel count, should root them out.

It's used in GTA4. You spend more time losing connection to lobbies and being dumped back into SP, waiting on load times, than you do actually managing to get into shitty 3 player matches where voice chat doesn't work properly.

It's also used in Red Alert 3 PC to a similar disasterous effect.

Disgustingly bad 'service.'

disgusting

 

[charsace]

Can't wait for "PS3 version is warmer," posts.

 

[WillyFive]

Like the it did with Old West, Red Dead Redemption brings back System Wars for today's generation.

 

[Truespeed]

You're reading too much into it. I was thanking you.

 

[BeEatNU]

More trash PS3 shots please!

Thank God for this thread

truth hurts :*(

Alan Wake?




I keed.

Borderlands used it, if I recall. And perhaps Section 8.

Damn, never mind. Plenty of games out there. :lol

I thought they were also forcing you to sign in with Gamespy ID.

I keep seeing this but honestly it never happen to me.

IIRC both versions of GTA4 were sub HD.

Grand Theft Auto IV = 1152x640 (QAA) PS3

Grand Theft Auto IV = 1280x720 (2xAA) X360
