[eshrules]

mind giving me one?

ditto that....

i wonder if he'd mind posting his address up, purely so we can go round and 'evaluate' the game,of course

ign said that the ps3 version is better

[SmileyUK]

hmm i read the other way so im guessing its too close to care about tbh im not worries about a tiny improvement/decrease in graphics quality the game is the same and thats what matters. If i owned both consoles i would get the 360 one as im a sucker for dlc and all my friends are on there and gaming with them is more important than a slightly nicer shadow etc

taken from another site..

I couldn't tell you which version loaded faster or not as the game was already being played when I showed up for the lunch party. smile.gif I also didn't ask if there was any mandatory installs or if the PS3 version was running of the HDD. Sorry.

So which version is *superior*?

Well as I said before, it's the COD4 effect. At first glance they look the same with their small differences. 360 looks sharper, higher-res in some areas. Coming up to some objects will reveal that, also things at a distance look a bit more defined too. They both suffer from framerate issues, tho it looks like the 360 is handling it better when it comes to more populated areas (people, traffic, etc). The pop-up/fade in isn't too distracting, I do admit that is DOES show in both versions, but it doesn't look to be more or less on either console.

Lighting seems about the same, honestly I was looking at texturing more than lighting to notice it too much. =p But there were some parts on the PS3 version where things look like it was pre-baked with lights/shadows... it had that faked Heavenly Sword look to it where you know they did some *tricks* to make something appear at least statically, because they couldn't get it dynamically and it loses it's richness. As for the "softness" and "warmth" of the PS3 rendering that was talked about earlier, it makes things appear smooth but it's like putting turtle wax on a low res texture. It has that soft upscaled look to it that most of you console-ers should be used to by now, and looks like some filtering was used to clean it up a bit, if not *hide* it. I don't know if it's being upscaled, but it just has that look to it.

So unless you're as nitpicky as I am and don't care about the differences, each version is good to good depending on your choice of control pads and whether or not you want the extra DLC on the 360.

weather the 360 is better or not i only have a 360 so i will get it for that

[Carlh]

I have both a 360 and a PS3

I will be getting it for the 360 firstly then once I have completed the game I might get it for the PS3 - gives me a reason to switch the console on I guess.

Well according to Sam houser(mr rockstar)

The 360 games have a certain look to them; PS3 games have a certain look to them. I like the way [the PS3] renders." He concluded, "There's a certain kind of softness without being blurry -- some warmth to it -- and then there's a certain more clinical element to how the 360 looks

"One of the problems with the 360, and it affects games like Grand Theft Auto if you think about how much content we put in the actual machine, is the fact that they don't have a significantly larger storage medium than the previous systems. It's a slightly bigger DVD disc," Houser told 1up.

Then take into account that not all Xbox 360s come with a hard drive. It's here that things get super sticky. "The 360 is going to have to get 'round this issue we're talking about...hopefully, they're going to adopt one of those in the next year or so, because it's going to become more of an issue. If we're filling up the disc right now, where are we going? It's not like our games are going to get any smaller."

I'll give it a bash on PS3, but i'll be sticking to my 360 copy, mainly for the DLC thats coming.

Have not heard it mentioned, however I have not heard people say there will not be either. I hope so but will not be too bothered if not, the 360ers deserve somehting having to pay for Live.
