Ooof...I honestly think the 360. The coloring seems darker, which shows a more detailed definition. I traded my ps3 because of many reasons, one was that they make everything bright in the games. Aside from all that I really don't think that this game changes for either systems. Perhaps because it is a game that has average graphics. Maybe a souped original xbox can pull those graphics.
The PS3's load times should be several times better as it loads most of the game data onto the HDD. Graphics I'd again have to give it to the PS3 because it wont have to be compressed to fit onto a DVD9 like the 360 would have to. The only leg up that the 360 has is that M$ payed off rockstar so they get a few extra features, what the features are remain to be seen but the PS3 wont get them; on launch day anyway.
I would not be surprised to see this turn into a nice little flamewar. I'm going with the PS3 on this one.
Honestly I think it was a bad idea asking this question. Reworded differently perhaps. In reality you're just asking which console is more superior. Biases, fanboys and all sorts of factors are taken into this personal account. Like mentioned before graphics are not a problem for either of these systems to pull for "this" game--easy to execute. As for additional content that varies from platform.
i think with GTA games the graphics were always average it was solely the gameplay and vastness of the cities that truly caught the imagination of our inner child wanting to kill policemen, bang hookers and steal cars. I think my inner child may have been abused? Graphics wise hard to tell. seeing as both were coded from the ground up. I wouldn't be surprised if the XB360 may even have longer/frequent load times as said earlier due to not loading data onto the hard drive.
The 360 version by far will be the best, as we all know they built the game on the ground-up from the 360 hardware. Plus the downloadable content and Xbox Live..which kicks Sony's a$$. So the 360 version is the one to get!
obvilously as im a ps3 owner i will always be biased but my 2 cents on yours. they built them ground up on both consoles, hence why its taking so long for PS3 to release its one, to make a port takes next to no time at all. No reason why Xbox live, which kicks Sony's 'a$$', is better. Rockstar have already stated it will totally support Playstation Home and the ps3 will have downloadable content though it doesn't say what these will be. not to mention free to use(ps home i mean not the content). I'm pretty sure there will be no fixed wing aircraft that are flyable.
I cant wait for the day when third party companys will finally utilize the PS3'S Cell Processor and Blu-Rays Disks( Excluding Konami whos bringing out the 50GB MGS4!!!)
