GTA V on PS3 and Xbox 360: Choosing The Right Platform

Techtorial: Next year, Grand Theft Auto V is without a doubt the biggest release from the video game industry and just in case you still haven’t own a PS3 or Xbox 360, here’s a discussion of possibilities why players should choose one platform over the other.

I'm going with PS3 because honestly... I've owned GTA games on Sony platforms all three generations. Had GTA2 on PS1, still have San Andreas and Vice City on PS2, and have GTA4 on PS3. I just don't like to switch around game consoles if I don't have to. Try to stick to one console per series. (Unless it's something like Kingdom Hearts which jumps platforms like crazy. -_-)

Jinkies4146d ago

Same here

GTA for me is a PS game

I played the past GTA games on Sony platforms and it just wouldn't feel right playing it on another platform

Same goes with Tomb Raider, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid for example

EVILDEAD3604146d ago (Edited 4146d ago )

Just like IV..I'll go with the 360. Side note is the GTA IV is still a top 20 staple on Xbox Live even after all these years.

Currently #13...the online was a blast. It was like do whatever you wanted in your own world, especially with friends.

I can see with better graphics, controls, etc that GTA 5 will take over Live again.

We all came up on the PS2, since back then the entire earth had a PS2, but those old feelings like I have to play a game on one system or the other is long gone.

But, I do think like in my case I love earning achievements and favor the 360 controls. But I could see someone feeling the same for any system as we have this entire gen.

Most just simply play the system they own as everyone isn't like me and owns them all.

It's no secret that I love Playstation. I just don't see how your comment received disagrees. There was nothing wrong with it in the least. I'm sure the reason solely lies in the fact that you said 360. There was nothing "fanboyish" or irrational about your statement. I'm actually getting it on Ps3 because it's my system of choice. This article it stupid because it ultimately comes down to which console you have, or which system has most of your friend on it. Only way you'd be choosing the wrong platform is if you were expecting GTA 5 on the Wii U.

Lvl_up_gamer4146d ago

I agree with evildead

Due to the control mechanics/feel, friends and Achievements, I will be purchasing GTA5 on the 360 like I did with GTA4.

Just my preference.

Jinkies4146d ago

"Due to the control mechanics/feel, friends and "

I love how you guys are going to get it because of that, you do realise it's about the game not friends and achievements. Your like those people who buy COD only because of their friends, not because they like the game it's self.

Plus the mechanics/controls feel better on the PS3 because it was like that in GTA3, VC, SA

Ezz20134146d ago

Easy PS3. Only one disk.

Haters gonna hate.

Tctczach4146d ago

As an owner of both consoles I'm going to have to go with the 360. Multiple discs(if they are doing it) are going to suck but the online seems better on the 360 with past Rockstar games.

DonnieDarko4146d ago

On 360 I suspect they'll do what they did with halo 4. Install one disc and play off the other. I will get it on 360 as Party chat will be used all the time and most people I know play on 360. I hope they keep cops n crooks mode that was my fave. Was ruined tho by the cops always pinching the getaway boat. Deffo need random spawn points for getaway vehicles this time!!

AngelicIceDiamond4146d ago

I'm surprised people are saying 360!?

Zodiac4146d ago

It's a multiplat, so your best bet is the 360. Some rare exceptions exist, though.

BitbyDeath4146d ago

GTAV is being made independently on each system so those issues shouldn't exist.

IRetrouk4146d ago

If there is one dev that can improve on themselves its rockstar, i think this time the game will run alot better on both systems, i will end up with a copy for both because i know i wont get near my ps3 with the girlfriend robbing it on me.

SuperSonic2664146d ago

GTA 5 has only been shown on ps3

hennessey864146d ago

With the best version, it doesn't matter which console its played on.

Godchild10204146d ago

I doubt Rockstar will go the route with an timed exclusive DLC for GTA V, IV was an exception because it was the first GTA game on a next Gen console. They also got an ear full from PS3 users. They made it up to PS3 users with PS3 exclusive content with L.A Noire and Red Dead Redemption. With that said, I don't think any console will get any exclusive or timed exclusive content from RS this time around.

While having 3 or more disc on X360, the PS3 suffers from having a lot of Data on the Disc as well, that depends on how optimized the game is on the system though. This is Rockstars second GTA title on this console and 4th or 5th game this gen, so I'm sure this game will work well on both platforms even after a patch. Look at how RDR ran on the 360 and how it ran after the patch on the PS3.

As the author mentioned MP3, it ran well on both consoles and I'm sure GTA V will run just as well on both consoles.

I played GTA IV on the 360 and then on the PS3 after I bought a PS3 and will end up picking up the PS3 copy at launch, due to not having any problems with GTAIV on the PS3.

More interested in money than giving fans what they want. Such a shame

CrimsonWing6918h ago

With the amount of money they generated, I just don’t understand the scrubbing of this. It would’ve been fantastic for fans.

Profchaos16h ago

I really want to know who drove the decision to focus on multiplayer was it Rockstar or take two.

Because when online started taking off many of the studio leads began having falling outs and leading including a founder

Demetrius5h ago

Ikr mfs that greedy it's ridiculous

andy8515h ago

This makes me sad. Trevor was one of my favourite characters in gaming

Demetrius5h ago

One of the reason I believe once gta 6 release, most of us thoroughly play it, enjoy the world they crafted then after that no offline support, no dlc at all
