Have read the article(most of it). Then skimmed the posts, looks like the majority of us are starting to treat these face offs with the derision they deserve!

Eurogamer trying too hard to diss the obviously superior 360 version

"Technically speaking, Xbox 360 really should be winning this contest hands-down, but bizarrely, it doesn't. "


"What is curious to me is that I can see no technical reason why the 360 game shouldn't just be a more detailed, smoother version of the PS3 version."

"On the one hand, it's a touch disappointing that Rockstar's USD 100 million budget couldn't extend to optimising the experience to match Xbox 360"

@ps3_2310 "We have been taking it up the ass but it's geting better and PS3 is beating the 360 in europe FACT. It done better on GTA sales if you think of the number of 260's there are to the PS3's"

So by your admission then you're a PS3 Fanboy and take it up the ass... classic!

now the amiga version of lotus turbo challenge kicked the megadrive versions ass, dragged it by its weeping carcass over the finishing line, and then relieved itself over its sorry excuse of a game

Atari STE version had better sound and music than the Amiga version, but suffered from the same Disk Swap issue. Controls and graphics were shitter though.

STE FTW FUCK THE A500!

I had the Spectrum +2 version of SFII, where you had to load the entire tape between each match-up so it could load the required characters. Now that was painful.

The +2 was still better than the C64, though... :)

ST Format said so.

Very dissappointed in Rockstar as far as the PS3 is concerned, although I have to say, playing it, I was pretty impressed with the consistency of the framerate, it' never too bad. It does still look good, but I don't think they put as much effort into the PS3 version as they should have.

Oh god... I just had memories of the blinking red message of death on the A500.
On happier times, I remember the proud day when I got my 512k memory upgrade.

and this is possibly the best comparison thread yet! random bollocks ftw!

Wasn't the C64 and Spectrum versions just limited to you being able to choose only between Ryu or Chunli.

I demand Eurogamer run a SF2T Megadrive vs SNES comparison. Using the exact same standards and depth of testing as this GTA4 one.

Strange, everyone was saying the PS3 version looks/runs better.

Anyway, for Liberty City's sake, why not do an GTA III - GTA IV graphics evolution feature?

Due to a lot of misinformation in internet, EG really have tried their hardness to be impartial with fair tests to give results, as article have said from the start and at the end both version excels.

This is far, far better than IGN head to head trash. No not because I prefer X360, actually I have both versions on X360 and PS3 (PS3 due to arrive tomorrow) and so I can play online with either group of mates.

The misinformation come from fanboys, so now we know the facts as presented, who cares about few fps difference? Indeed amazing on the both platform. Adding only that I have yet to see a single tearing on X360 after 23 hours and simply recommend to go with the version you will most play on your preferred console.

Good article!

EG

"As there's a colossal amount of stuff to discuss, argue and insult each other about, we've broken down the feature into these areas:"

-------------------------

after these phrase there is no doubt in my mind about how low and ridiculous EG have become... shame on you EG, these is not journalism and most definitely not professional... the game performs very good on both platforms, and minor differences are not relevant except for fanboy's and tech freaks, so what's the point???

Next thing we'll hear from the Xbox fanboys is that HD-DVD is the future!

This is like Manchester United and Manchester City. Every now and again City will beat United and you never hear the end of it. In the long term, there is only one winner though!

*Sigh* more gamers seeing what they want to see. Typical. :)

That was a VERY fair comparison from Eurogamer. Definately the best and most comprehensive comparison of both versions seen so far.

swam he clearly says neither are locked.

vsync: i'll take a higher res and frame rate if it means a little rare tearing thanks.


just enjoy a great game and stop worrying about it.

oh.. you're saying they lied as it doesn't suit what you wanted to be the case. sigh.

The tradeoff is that the 360 version has tearing.

I haven't seen any at all. And believe me, I'd have noticed.
