Video: GTAIV 360 versus GTAIV PS3
Being fanboys, we just can't 't be satisfied with a great gaming experience like Grand Theft Auto IV when it's a multi-platform game and comparisons between a 360 and a PS3 version can be made. It'd go against the fanboy code of conduct and be an opportunity that'd be inexcusably wasted. So, today we bring you a GTAIV comparison video that puts both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions head to head ... erm, side by side. Pull out your magnifying glass, count each pixel and scrutinize the anti-aliasing, because there are comparisons to be made and a fanboy tradition to be upheld. For the most committed, watch the comparison video in full HD for a better analysis.

achievements are a social trinket. bragging rights if you will. it's like a high score in Pac-Man. they don't net you free stuff from Microsoft or anything. they are there to simply enhance the "gaming experience".

The word around the intarweb is that once Home launches, GTA will be patched with some neat tie-ins, which should make up for not having Achievements. I don't know much about it, though...

The HDD install would be more of a bitching point if the PS3's wasn't larger than the 20 GB one for 360 most of us are stuck with. As it stands, it's a minor inconvenience, if that.

@ Adam.... come on, don't be a sock-cooker, of course this game isn't pushing the PS3 to its limits...heck it not even running at 720p on the PS3.
On topic..
I call a spade a spade...so far the PS3 version looks better and shows more realistic detail than the 360 version (perfect example is to look at the light glistening off of the water @ 1:12 on the PS3...that is not shown on 1:10 on the 360 which is at the same location)...but as many have said before, both look good (by GTA standards) and the minor differences doesn't seems to have enough pull to make one "that much" better than the next.

They both look great and similar, but at points in the video, the PS3 has some brighter looking light, like the sky looks fantastic in the PS3 version, although it may just be some kind of weather thing in the game at different times =\

LOL At all of you immature kids saying that xbox live is better than PSN and that GTA 4 online is better on 360. They're both the same, you turn the game on, go to multiplayer and enjoy the game. If you guys saw GTA 4 online playing on two different tv's with one for each console, none of you could tell me which one was which.

agreed, though xbox live has been getting some pretty bad press for servers down and bad service recently. And apparently (so I've read), ps3 has better games on psn. And then your paying for xbox live...
wow... that sounds like psn has the advantage, doesn't it?
I never could tell what made xbox live so great come to think of it. Why is it supposedly better than the psn? comments?

didnt read all the comments but who the hell cares which is better? its gta4 we're talking about here. it's going to be good regardless what console you have. i have a 360 and im loving it, my buddy has a ps3 and he's loving it. just play the damn game and stop worrying about which console handles the game better!

quick question to those proclaiming that achievements is a reason that the 360 version is better:
Can't you technically do the same thing on the PS3 version, just that you won't get a little blip at the bottom of your screen?

based solely on the video presented here, ps3 looks better I'm sorry to say. I don't own a ps3, and my 360 copy of gta4 should be here tomorrow from amazon... and i really could care less.
I'm actually scared about freezes and popping after reading all this crap... I just want to enjoy the game.... and seeing as I don't own a ps3 it'll basically be like that version of it doesn't exist and I hope I enjoy the hell out of it on the 360 for weeks and weeks to come!

I thought the colours looked better on the 360 version and were more vibrant but i got flamed at Kotaku for saying that :/ Basically the whole "your wrong, PS3 is teh best colours lololol"
I don't personally care but it just looked like to me that 360 had the edge when it came to colours. Both are near identical anyway.
