Ps3 going to beat Xbox hands down graphically the true power will show of the ps3 being lead platform dont forget the cell people.

WrAiTh Sp3cTr34937d ago

I have a feeling that person was trying to bring across some sarcasm is his comment...I think.

sway_z4937d ago

seanpitt23 stop your fanboy nonsense!

Both versions will be identical as identical can be....I own a PS3, but what you're doing with that comment is a pitiful attempt to start a flame fanboy war....now just quit with the BS!

Norrison4937d ago

Stop fighting for minimal graphical differences on console multiplats.

Lvl_up_gamer4937d ago

GTA 4 has a lower resolution on the PS3 then the 360

Red Dead Redemption was all around better resolution and performance wise on the 360.

At some point R* will have to have built a game that performs better on the PS3...may as well be in the PS3's 6 year on the market.

1 for 3 isn't that bad.

But again we still need to the finished product before we can start pounding our chests which version is better...

XabiDaChosenOne4937d ago

lol why do 360 fans always forget about LA Noire?

chukamachine4937d ago

GTA4 did have higher rez on 360, but also worse shadows.

Considering the engine was built ground up for the 360. R thought they just be able to dump 360 code on the PS3. Then panicked when they realised there wasn't enough ram.

Shaman4937d ago

Because LA Noire wasn't built on RAGE? R* showed PS3 version of RDR too, as well as MP3 and both of them performed better on 360. Make no mistake, I would love them both to be best they can so everybody can enjoy equally, but I wouldn't get ahead of myself with stupid superiority comments.

StanSmith4937d ago

Only 1 Rockstar game this gen has been better on PS3 and that was LA Noire. Red Dead was better on 360 and GTA4/Max Payne 3 was the same on both.

Basically, GTA5 will be the same on both platforms, with the exception of it being a multi-disc release on 360.

Why we have to have this nonsense from fanboys really baffles me. A look back at previous games will show that neither will be superior.

SJPFTW4937d ago

too bad LA Noire was not developed by Rockstar... they were just the publishers, the developrs were Team Bondi

PinkFunk4937d ago

Definitely the pS3 is cell powerful more better than xb0x 360 GPU is crap! Many cells together R Very powerful maybe more than large supercomputer. SO, IMO i think the GTA5 will be beter on the superiior console which is the playstation3, my favorite console, IMO.

THIS IS JUT MY OPINION IM ENTITLED TO OPINION IT IS UNBIASED FACT!! SO GET OVER IT

/s

Now THAT is trolling. You see, there is an art to it. But seriously, who cares they'll practically be the same, apart from the disc quantity. And so far, visually, it looks fantastic.

seanpitt234937d ago

Wraith spe3ctr3 you think right!!

stone_cold4937d ago

yes ps3 the leader of all consoles

greenpowerz4937d ago (Edited 4937d ago )

Are you joking? Are you getting that from the article about the PS3 version being tested and the rumor of the PS3 being lead that came from it?

Rockstar has always said both versions of all their games are on par and It's never true. They come out always talking about parity as a sort of pre damage control.

@Kobe

LA Noir was a PS3 exclusive developed for years on PS3 alone for PS3 hardware with the devs slapping a 360 port together at the last minute after the game went multi plat.
It would be like porting Halo 4 over to PS3 in the last few months but with a much greater gap in performance due to the 360 having more capable hardware and Halo 4 being much more advanced tha nLA Noir.

Games started at the same time rarely are better on ps3 unless the devs used the lowest common denominator method due to PS3 limitations.

XabiDaChosenOne4933d ago

"It would be like porting Halo 4 over to PS3 in the last few months but with a much greater gap in performance due to the 360 having more capable hardware and Halo 4 being much more advanced tha nLA Noir." I'm not really sure if your trolling or really misinformed, but I would like to know how you came to this conclusion.

Marquis_de_Sade4937d ago

Well yes, you would think the console that released a year later with a much higher RRP would have superior graphics to the cheaper, older console. Then again, that hasn't always been the case, has it?

eferreira4937d ago

ps3 was the better version for the gta 4 games, glad to see both will be equal.

StanSmith4937d ago

No it wasn't. The blur on the PS3 version helped hide the jaggies but the game was sharper on 360. They both had faults. Neither was better than the other. It came down to personal preference in the end.

eferreira4937d ago

I remember ign and other sites stating it was. Oh well. Doesn't matter anyways

ape0074937d ago

xbox 360 version had 2xAA, ps3 no AA at all

Lvl_up_gamer4937d ago

Both versions had their issues, I wouldn't go so far as to call the PS3 version the "better" version especially when GTA 4 had 640p resolution on the PS3 and is 720p on the 360.

ape0074937d ago (Edited 4937d ago )

hhhh ps3 version of gta 4 is a slowed down, sub HD blurry mess, it almost freeze when u drive at high speed with a lot of police car in front of you, i have both and played both to death, xbox 360 beats it by a mile

bozebo4937d ago (Edited 4937d ago )

I care more about frame rate consistency, I'm sure it'll be fine on both because it's Rockstar.

Minato-Namikaze4937d ago

Do they think ps3 owners are happy about equality? Superiority is whats expected, 1st party's have spoiled us.

ape0074937d ago

halo 4, crysis 3, gears of war 3, rage says hi

plus gta v graphics are absolutely unbelievable, all this size with all this detail is unseen and all this quality is unseen in any game ever, i don't know what spoiled you, it might be those ps3 fanboy goggles

Qrphe4937d ago

Halo 4 yes, the rest of those, lolno

DarkHeroZX4936d ago

Gears 3 looked awful. It was fun but the visuals where ugly. Halo 4 is the best looking halo game to date but that's not saying much. Crysis 3? Well I don't know about you but 2 did look great however wasn't nearly as much going on as say KZ2 and 3 so those visuals where easier to obtain. Rage is only beyond impressive on PC, its good on consoles but top ps3 exclusives still beat it.

Vip3r4937d ago

Here's hoping the PC version will be fully optimised.

Slugg3r4937d ago

R* did pretty good job with Max Payne 3, maybe they've learned their lesson from GTA4.

PlayStation Store’s top downloads of 2025

O'Dell Harmon Jr. writes: "Before we say goodbye to 2025, let’s take a look back and see what were the most downloaded games of the year. It was a great time for sports, shooters, and some new PlayStation VR2 games. Sports favorites topped the charts in US/Canada and EU, with NBA 2K26 and EA Sports FC26, respectively.

Juggernaut GTA V found a home in the top three for both regions, with new 2025 release Battlefield 6 claiming second place in the US. Fortnite took top place for free-to-play games, and Beat Saber continues its PS VR2 success."

FH5 4th in Europe compared to North America 14th. Not surprising.

LucasRuinedChildhood122d ago

I think it shows how shortsighted it was for Sony to let go of Evolution and not get them to make some sort of competitor (open world Driveclub?) 10 years ago.

bionicstar122d ago (Edited 122d ago )

its a hard bet to make. hindsight is always 20/20.

Christopher122d ago

After Driveclub's reception, hard to say it would have done well enough to compete. It's easy to dream of such a thing, but to make it happen? It's taken how long for CoD to be dethroned? And it was dethroned by Hogwart's Legacy and has gained it right back just the next year.

I would like to see a list that has both free to play and paid games together, but at least we have this.

To this day GTA5 is a top downloaded game and it makes me wonder if the industry is really ready for GTA6. I imagine almost nothing else will sell during that game's release window.

I’ve never played Fortnite GTAV or CoD BO7 but I do own GTAV for PS4/5 because I got them cheap.

gold_drake130d ago

i think we should either take those games out, or make a singleplayer list too ha

badboyz09130d ago

I still play gta V alot. The others nah.

Popsicle130d ago

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Tacoboto130d ago

What exactly are we not getting?

Did we not just have a 2025 filled with nice games like...

Silksong, Doom TDA, Expedition 33, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Ghost of Yotei, Dispatch, Split Fiction, Hades 2, DK Bananza, and so many more?

Popsicle130d ago

Agree that all you just posted are great games. Expedition 33 is one of my favorites. Spent a large chunk of time on BG3 in 2023. Another for my all-time list.

My point though not well articulated in the OG post is that we would get more of the games of the quality you mentioned if so many valuable resources were not allocated to FTP slop and/or heavy monetization schemes. Some of what used to be my favorite franchises have been ruined by them.

To sum it up, I would like to see games like 33 outperform the profits made by games like Fortnite so more resources are allocated to great games. When heavily monetized FTP games are at the top of the list, we end up being stuck with a significant chunk of games that are not good. Or worst case scenario games that spend years in development, but get cancelled due to industry trend chasing.

cloganart130d ago

Such a pessimistic view. This year gave so many good games.

Christopher130d ago

Popsicle, I actually think we're getting more great games because of the slop. Developers are seeing that people aren't happy and taking advantage of big AAA studios not delivering for people.

Popsicle130d ago (Edited 130d ago )

Perhaps, and I hope you’re right. A shift is needed IMO
