Like a AA PS3 meeting
I played for a couple of hours today and I'm most impressed.
The rain effect looks crazy and you can see god rays after the rain is over and puddles of water every where, level of detail in this game is crazy and there is little pop in and frame rate has been solid so far, props to R*, I can't wait to see how next GTA looks like, most excited.

Are there no websites that do sound comparisons? I always hear about PS3 games having better audio, but have never seen anything to back it up (not saying I don't believe them, but i'd like to hear the difference for myself).

Audio is very hard to compare, especially considering the various quality on sound systems around. People hearing lots of difference on sound systems for under lets say 300$ are just bullshitting. The sound itself gets "damaged" through bad quality systems before it even reaches your ears.I NEED SCISSORS said:

Sadly audio isn't really an important aspect for the majority of gamers (who are probably using TV speakers/cheap HTIBs). Theoretically all most games on PS3 should sound better than their 360 counterparts due to the lossless encode. This isn't a given and I'd say in most cases the difference is negligible. It also requires some decent hardware to be able to use it. I would say that the audio on PS3 exclusives has been sublime (Uncharted 2, GoW 3, Killzone 2) this gen.

Finally got the game together with Alan Wake. The weekend can come 
Will post impressions of the 360 version. I heavily played GTAIV the last few days, so I can make some decent engine comparisons.
One friend just posted on facebook that he got the PS3 version (full of excitement!)
Then one of my 360 only friends comes along and rubs the platform differences in his face. Geez, I hate that shit.
Anyway, he calmed himself with the good old "box says 720p" argument
Digital Foundry includes audio comparisons in their features now

I just don't think a vague statement like "The PS3 version is fine" with no comparison info doesn't really accomplish anything in a comparison thread. And lol at the inner fanboy comment, classic defense mechanism to attack anyone who dares to show interest in multi-console differences (no matter how small) that don't favor someone's console of choice. Hard as it is to believe, some of us don't give a shit which logo is on the machine that plays the game, just which machine has the better version.Firewire said:

So are you equally bothered by single console owners making lame jokes about the PS3 version? wtf.

Whether or not you agree with the reasoning for this sort of thread existing doesn't change that fact that it serves the most important purpose of all: keeping the official thread readable and on-topic without devolving into an especially stupid battle. And that should be enough for anyone.
dzukela said:
Nope. The experts say that the 360 version is better. Whether it's a 100:95 difference or a 100:80 difference well that is pretty subjective and seeing as I don't really care either way I won't waste my time giving you my ratio.
Another thing that is pretty much irrefutable is that despite what some people would have you think there aren't only XDF in here. There are SDF as well.
Anyway, just stating the obvious again
P.S did anybody have to eat a bowl of crow over CheapyD's comment?
:lol

Have there been any non-Sony games to ship with uncompressed PCM?
Edit: Apparently Dirt and Oblivion had it, so some others probably have as well. But judging from the quality of this PS3 RDR port, I'd be surprised if they really took the time to include an uncompressed audio track along with the default lossy DD one.
Does RDR even output actual 7.1? Can anyone with the PS3 version say? And you have to actually listen to those speakers, because the PS3 will often output 7.1 but nothing will be coming out of the extra two speakers (and of course you have to make sure your reciever isn't matrixing the rear itself). I'm 99% sure GTAIV did not.
If RDR really does have lossless 7.1, that's a pretty big boon for the PS3 version over the 360 version for some audiophiles, especially in this game where the sound is so fantastic (hell, I love it on the 360 with just plain ol' DD.) But again, I really doubt it is, which makes me curious why people are saying the PS3 sound is better.

I was talking to a PS3 owning friend yesterday about RDR and he was pissed because he heard about the differences between 360 and PS3. I was just shaking my head. Theres plenty of other games hes played where there were major differences but he never heard about them so he didn't care before.GitarooMan said:

The install is like 500 mb, just a small fraction of all the data on the blu ray.
The 360 copies ALL the data off the disc, so the game is pretty much running off the hard drive, while the PS3 is still using the blu ray heavily.

Ok, not completely worthless, but I want to see the 360 loading times at their best. Hard drive install is like, one of the best things about the 360.

I noticed that RDR (PS3) loads much, much faster than GTA4 (PS3) and that made me very happy.
I have both consoles and picked it up for the 360 due to the difference in resolution. It looks good--apparently better than the PS3 version--but some of you better temper your "superior version"comments. I've seen more than one instance of pop-up, slow-down (nothing terrible) and delays in drawing-in textures a la Mass Effect 1 (usually on cliff sides, just travel from the Ranch to Armadillo and you'll see it). The dull-headache I get after playing it for a while also tells me there is no v-sync and that the frame rate is jumping around some.
Good game, but far from a perfect performer. I'll probably get the PC version too (like I did for GTAIV) when it inevitably comes out.

Nice to see a game loading faster from Blu-Ray though , usually it's the other way around I believe !
A full install on HDD will probably speed up things , a feature I would like to have for the PS3 also now terabyte 2.5 " drives become affordable .

I looked and only saw a brief mention of the audio format. It doesn't really compare them and say which is the superior version, though I guess you can't really beat LPCM.
2 seconds faster.. the PS3 version finally gets some Redemption.miladesn said:

Didn't someone here claim they were ALOT faster on the 360?
MightyHedgehog

If you install the disc (which anyone with a X360 could do if they have a decently-sized USB storage device or HDD installed) in less than ten minutes, the loading is very freaking fast...much faster than from disc alone and faster than the PS3 from what I've seen.Metalmurphy said:
Yes, but they also said that they had the game installed to the hard drive and that might be contributing to the considerable difference in loading times.Metalmurphy said:
You probably won't save 10 minutes in loading times over the course of the game, but that's not really the point.goonergaz said:I dunno, 10mins to instal, how many gaming sessions until you break even
If you can install, I don't see why you wouldn't. You don't have the disc spinning constantly for a start, which is what creates the most noise when gaming with the 360. I would rather do one 10 minute install at the beginning and have shorter loading times throughout, even if the total time saved is less than 10 minutes, because I'm not sitting in front of the console waiting when I'm doing the install, but I am when I'm waiting for levels to load.goonergaz said:depends what side of the fence you're on I guess
MightyHedgehog

Ha, but of course, the loading will be so much shorter that you'll never find yourself annoyed by its length when it occurs during the game. Can't say for certain, but I'm sure it helps a little with the occasional texture pop, too.goonergaz said:I dunno, 10mins to instal, how many gaming sessions until you break even
edit: and, yes, the disc spinning is gone post boot up.

I still haven't decided which version to get. But it has little to do with the resolution of the graphics, or a couple of bushes missing from the PS3 version, or other such inconsequential nonsense I care little about.
My problem is, I usually buy multi-console games on the PS3. Reason being, online play. I just don't pay for Live. Or pay for online gaming in general. (But that's a rant for another time.) So if I want to play online, PS3 version it is. Unfortunately, my PS3 runs loud as shit. Louder than my 360. Probably about the same as a 360 spinning an uninstalled game. And it drives me nuts. So if I want to play the game without listening to a constantly whirring fan, the 360 version is the way to go. But then I can't check the game out online. But then again, I rarely play games online anyway.
Blargh!
