GTA 4: org Berunai punya pandangan

this years most anticipated game has arrived



i bought both versions


PS3 (GTA4 special edition) / xbox 360 (Normal edition)



GOING PSYCHO AFTER GETTING THE GTAIV SPECIAL EDITION



there are few reasons y i bought both


PS3

  • i bought ps3 mainly because i am so used to the controller layout. From GTA III to GTA SAN ANDREAS, the dual shock controller & GTA are meant to be together.
  • With the recent RECEPTION on a Rockstar game (bully: scholarship edition) on the xbox360 which  was found to be unstable on some players' consoles, resulting in glitches, crashes and performance issues puts my hopes down on the xbox360.


Xbox 360

  • i decide to risk my money on the 360 version mainly because of XBOX live.   undeniable that multiplayer service has always been better on the 360.
  • Obviously, the DLC (episodic content) coming out later this year.


with 2 versions at hand i decide to make a comparison myself


GRAPHICS: seriously, the graphics between both systems was merely identical with the ps3 being alil darker than the xbox 360. if u ask me, darker is better...


GAMEPLAY: Personally, i found using the xbox 360 controller more comfortable and easy to control especially driving cars. maybe its because i am so used to xbox 360 controller.


GAME BOOTING TIME: i clocked both systems during booting of the game, this is based from my experience and please keep in mind that your experience may differ. the PS3 took about “2 mins 8 secs” to boot while the xbox 360 took “1 min 17 secs”


GAME LOADING TIME: i always tot that the ps3 would seriously take advantage of the 3gb pre-installed data. but after comparing it with the xbox360, i seriously dont know why the install was necessary cuz it didnt really help the PS3 loading times that much. 


so which version is better??


BOTH versions are worth it either its PS3 or the 360, you will definitely not be missing out anything, both versions works and feels gr8.


but take a look at this angle for a sec


both versions feels the same

works the same


and most importantly 


GRAPHICALLY merely the same.....


lets look back the specs for both systems 


the PS3 is more stronger than the xbox 360 and has an advantage on a high capacity storage disc a.k.a bluray.


theoretically speaking, the PS3 should’ve been far better than the 360 in every aspect


if the xbox 360 version size was 7.47gb, whats the size for ps3???


did they really took advantage of the ps3 version??


keep in mind that this game is for both 360 and ps3 and they had to make it the same to prevent people complaining.


rockstargames had to limit the capabilities just to fit the 360 version, with that the ps3 had to follow the line


its like GTA4 is design for xbox 360 and it has been ported to ps3.


if it were to be exclusive to PS3, would GTA 4 had been far better??

fyi, Bully: Scholarship Edition was not developed by Rockstar Studio itself, it was ported by other developer called Mad Doc Software, which is then later acquired by Rockstar last April, so its not entirely Rockstar fault actually for that problem

thats the size of the GTA4 Special Edition?

well it depends who got the most dough in this business thus why RockStar didn't take full advantage of the Blu-Ray capacity cuz M$ money of 50 mil maybe more than just a downloadable episodic content where it sabotage the PS3 for no extra content, no episodic extra whatsoever, pointless installation for precaching and loading speed yet still remain the same.

so yeah, it's all about the money these days for Rockstar....
