The 360 wins again, what a surprise, thanks EG for giving us the truth and the BS that IGN gave us about the PS3 version being better. All you PS3 arse heads can keep playing your over priced piece of shit machine, while I play the superior 360 which came out a year before, lol.

Resolution, Textures and Anti-Aliasing
"Technically speaking, Xbox 360 really should be winning this contest hands-down, but bizarrely, it doesn't." | | "and in my view, Xbox 360 just 'edges' it" Errrm! :-) "whereas 360 can produce the odd torn frame" Ohh Fuck Tearing!!! :-) Fight Fight Fight!! Nah! Lets just go play the game, and have some Fun :-) |

@kj66246: I've played the game for something like 60 hours now and I haven't noticed tearing once. It usually drives me nuts so it must be pretty rare.

Did anyone think that this was surprising. As a former owner of both consoles this didnt come as a surprise at all. Im not a fanboy im only trying to be objective.

Nicely written and informative article. Both versions are great and any differences are pretty negligable. Fantastic game.

I hate tearing, a lot - an I have never seen any - probably the very heavy handed dithering actually masks where the scan line difference is.
Surely the dithering effect is eating up clock cycles from somewhere? The "artistic" use of post processing makes things like fences in the 360 look like a joke - it almost looks like the fences is actually made out of static interference from a TV. Hope RS release a patch that offers some choices over the image i.e. switch the median cut dithering post processing filter. If they use the same rendering specs as PS3 to generate the image on the 360 the frame rate should go up quite a bit further - which would be nice for the multiplayer as it can chug a bit at times.

Is it just me or is the author of this article a bit biased. He clearly favours the 360 over the PS3. I have both consoles so don't start calling me a fanboy.

@DJ - I have both too but I can see that this wasn't favouring either - heck he even says in general the PS3 version looks better overall...doesn't mean it performs best as can be seen from the framerate - funny thing is that the amount of people here who were complaining about tearing in the upcoming Wipeout HD will now ignore the fact that GTA on the 360 has some, its just the way it goes with these comments and the forums in general. 98% of the comments are worth ignoring.

After reading this and taking into account the DLC i am happy that i bought the Xbox360 version. (that and the fact that i don't own a PS3)
I hope R* have sorted out the freezing issue on the PS3 so that everyone who can gets the chance to play it. (sorry Wii owners) |

Thanks for the feature, Richard. Very good, and very informative indeed.
I do wish that the toddler fanboys of both systems would get the hell out of here. |

@Byron - I suppose it is a fair test but I just felt some of the comments he was making seemed to favour the 360. I don't know about you but having both machines, I find that the PS3 is a better machine because its much quieter than the 360 and doesn't get really hot if you play it a lot. The 360 whines like a Moped or a small motorbike when its on. That said, there are more very good games for the 360 than PS3. At the moment atleast.
