I'm waiting for the inevitable PC release.

It apparently runs better than IV did. That sounds good to me.

Plus, this was just the debug version. The final version will probably run better but we'll just have to wait and see.

Lack of AA is a dissapointment. They could use SMAA or MLAA or a high precicion form of FXAA with little performance hit. But to be fair, GTA has never been known for state of the art graphics, it's more about the world and gameplay.

As long as it doesn't go slo-mo when driving over the speed limit like IV did, I'm fine.

Well I've never like GTA but I'm deff getting this one and after the bad taste Ps3 online left on my brain ill go 360 for its online. PC version if announced is going to be epic and no fanboy-ism ps3 exclusive awesome multiplat 360 all the way.

It's GTAIV all over again. I wouldn't be suprise at all.

Looks like I'm getting the ps3 version.

this article makes it sound like the xbox has worse aliasing than the ps3, when i've never known the ps3 to have better aliasing. I've played IV on xbox360, ps3, and pc, and while obviously the pc is going to win for graphics and aliasing, the xbox360 has always handled multiplatform games better BECAUSE of the aliasing. I'll wait and see, currently I have it pre ordered for the xbox, but if it turns out ps3 is better i'll swap it, but in the end if and when it comes to pc both console versions at that point will be rendered useless in the graphics department. not to mention the options for mods and trainers on the pc version.

Wish this game would release on PS4 and Xbox One. 60fps. Nooo jaggies. Drools.

360 was the lead platform for GTA IV. It was also the superior console version.

All previews for GTA V are said to be the PS3 version, however when you compare the early trailers to the latest trailer you will notice a significant drop in quality. And yes, this is still the ps3 version.

Rage was first developed and perfected on the 360. It's development started with table tennis.

Citing precedent RDR, MP3 and Midnight Club all looked better on 360. LA Noire looked better on PS3 but had some nasty freezing problems which Rockstar initially blamed on Sony until they both came to an agreement that neither one was to blame.

"PC Games mentioned that “GTA 5” is a huge jump from the last mainline release of the series, “GTA 4,” which came out for the same system in 2008. Despite the increased details, the publication did not notice any framerate and texture pop-up issues. Another major positive for the RAGE engine, which was used to build the video game, is the lightning. The sun in the game takes advantage of the new lighting technology to give the same area a different look during various times of the day."
Ok, great, that's awesome, I honestly couldn't care less about a few edges that aren't smooth. Since when are edges the most important thing in the world? People made fun of cod's developers for optimizing the engine to always have smooth edges when you get close to them, and now these same people are the ones complaining about jagged edges. FFS gamers, STOP WHINING ABOUT EVERYTHING.

That's why I'm waiting the pc version.

I can't get myself to play the game at sub 30 fps or sub 720 when I can play it in 2560*1440 at 60 fps.

Debugged versions like the versions that have been played and seen do not have post processong effects like anti aliasing. Its basic game code final or not antialiasing is not even possible in a gpu or cpu debugger. Its done separately on its own program after the code is being shown which is "post processing" and aliasing in open world games encompasses a large bubble around the player to conserve resources. Not the entire game just the players main view or area. You can check my comment history and believe me I'm anything but a 360 fan but ps3 is not the lead platform in fact this is one of the few rockstar games that has both versions being developed in tandum to each other. The early games were 360 lead. I do however think that rockstar (based on the frequency of the ps3 version shown) is more comfortable with it. Like there was or is a problem on 360. And last I heard sony was working with rockstars san diego's tech division (the division that created the rage engine) to utilize the cell more efficiently vs translating code to it. And each dev team (1 for each console) works in 2 different coding languages (as ps3's cell doesn't speak the same language as a x86 architecture.)

This will all be fixed when it launches on PC.

Just like i said,sony effort to market this game for the ps3 is fail,giving rockstar money to make the foolish think it will better on the ps3 is dumb,of course if you're rockstar you take the money. Now let's see sony wasted money on marketing this,loses money on the bundle,then let the game info leak out like morons and at the end of the day check the preorders,since this site thinks preorders are the bible

xbox 360 gta5 = 1,581,146
ps3 gta5 = 1,037,597

nearly a 2:1 ratio,go focus on vita and indie games for ps4 Sony :p

This will be an interesting H2H as usually RAGE runs better on 360.

Both versions will either have poor graphical fidelity and pop-ins, or pop-ins and framerate issues. Given the scope of this game, it really is one or the other.

Hopefully the two versions aren't as different as GTA 4. The 360 version of GTA 4 looked horrible compared to the PS3 version

Can't wait for the PC version. I've had enough with crap res/fps/aa on consoles.

PC version will put all to shame + you get mods

I still believe this game is coming to PC, PS4 and XB1. I just really wish I could fight the urge to buy this on current consoles. I want it on my PC or the PS4. must... not... give....in

This is nothing. Wait until the pathetic comparisons on Youtube, where one side is always darker than the other for some strange reason.

I hate when these money whores (Sony, MS and R* of course) ignore the PC community. This is the worst thing in gaming that I can possibly imagine.
If R* will announce the PC version on Steam to be released simulteaneously with the console versions, MILLIONS of PC gamers will BUY it, mark my words.
#PIRACYISNOTANEXCUSE
Period.

considering they downscaled red dead redemption for ps3, gta 4 for the ps3 is infamously worse than the 360

lol even one of the top comments says rockstar games are better on 360... stop looking through your inept ps3 window vision n4g. virtually every multiplat this gen is better on 360, some ports are so bad they ruin the game (orange box, bayonetta, skyrim, new vegas, lost planet...) there were games delayed to fix for ps3.
but no, here on n4g we blame the developer for being "lazy", not sony for making a convuluted architecture because they got cocky.

I hate to be mean but you have to be really dumb to think that GTA5 will look amazing on the current consoles. No way they could have AA on a game like this. I remember playing Saints Row the Third on a console and then PC. It was funny how shitty the console version looked.

the console version will look last gen, rife with sub-hd textures and jaggie covered like ALL console games

and the fact it is open world means it will look even more poor

I'll rent it just to see if it is worth a day one pc purchase or if it would be better to wait for a $20 sale on steam

nothing on ps3 or xbox360 looks remotely good if you have been pc gaming for the last 5 years

people talk about the last of us like it has good graphics, I rented it, it has AWFUL graphics, every door, window and supposedly "straight" line is a MESS of jaggies, the framerate sucks, the textures look like barf

all console games look like what they are, 8 years old graphics on 8 year old systems

In other words they will be the same.

Being a developper on X360 and PS3 myself, I can tell you that if they played a version of the game on disc or right on the 360's hard drive in the last month, that build represented 99% of the retail version. The chances that they had the game run on a PC is close to none at this point. I mean, they develop the game on PC mostly, but you've got to show the game to journalists on the final machine when you're that close to the release date.

All these anti-aliased screenshots they showed so far were from the PC build they work with everyday, not from a console build. It's a bit cheap, but hey, that's the industry.

Also, you've got to take decisions when you make a game and be realistic: what people look into is variety and solid gameplay, number of objects, AI that look good, post processing effects, etc, more than anti-aliasing (especially when they've been used to not having much for years on the same machines). Since AA can seriously reduce your framerate without being noticable much, but good programing skills, a good level of detail manupulation, properly optimized models and textures and post processing effects will benefit a game's sales much more, therefore, the game will probably not have killer anti-aliasing. Flashy "2013 PC-like" toned down effects and such, sure, but nothing that will put GTA4 on consoles to shame for instance. Better, but not "day and night" better. Probably a more stable framerate and more stuff on-screen compared to GTA4.

High end graphics lovers should wait for the PC and next-gen versions, if they can. I'll be tempted to do so because I love my games on very high/ultra settings on PC.

Current-gen version of GTA5 will be visually awesome to console only gamers, and great looking for most PC gamers.

Any developper with 3 or 4 games under the belt on current-gen consoles pretty much master developpement on these consoles at this point and Rockstar is in that boat so we can expect the best both consoles have to offer.

Now, I didn't even talk about the "fun" aspect of the game... whether the game runs on current-gen or later on PC and next-gen machines(most likely going to happen IMHO), it'll be just as fun, based on what I've heard and seen so far.

Lag bump double post, sorry.
