Hmm, just went onto wiki to check out to see if any "trophy" info for the game was present - as I heard the rumor that GTAIV would be getting trophy support sometime and noticed that the PS3 version is listed at running in a 640p resolution as opposed to teh 360s 720p. What's up with that? I didn't even know 640p was something a company would ever consider for a native resolution. Hard to immagine that with other high profile games supporting 1080p - that Rockstar couldn't get atleast 720p out of the system.

Anyone have some insight?

 (incoming morons flaming PS3 cuz they're fucking stupid) This was gone over by a lot of gaming sites around GTA4's release...yeah I have no idea why they left it like that, they could of easily got 720p out of it..was realized immediately after its release. I saw both versions..one really doesn't look superior though at all..besides the typical difference of the 360's colors being a bit more vibrant...I don't have a single clue why they didn't make it 720 though.

If the game looks good, what difference does it make?

Halo 3 runs at a sub-720p resolution, and it still looks fine to me. 

The Playstation version also has less of an issue with pop-in, which really isn't a pressing matter on the 360, but it is sorta-kinda obvious.

Hey, man.  Self-deprecation wins the ladies. "

when i played it i think it was in 720, either way it looked really pretty

I remember seeing a resolution test at a local game store a few weeks back. But even the smallest details can be missed by the eye.

"when i played it i think it was in 720, either way it looked really pretty"

640p is definitely noticeable and there are many more games at this SUB HD resolution native on both PS3 and XBOX.  It looks kinda blurry and jaggy.  I also noticed the sub HD res in COD4, I feel like I have to squint when aiming long distance.

Sony promised 1080p TRUE HD FUTURE PROOF gaming and instead we are getting games that are not even 720p native, its an insult.  Even worse Microsoft just upscales every game to 1080p and lists 1080p on the back of the box of every single game.  That is an insult to the few games that can actually run in 1080p when most of that garbage is running in 640-600p.

As a gamer w/ a 1080p tv, you are getting robbed.  Any tv can upscale to 1080p, so the native resolution is what always matters.  Take a look at the screenshots for the PC GTA4, it looks like a brand new game.  It looks like it was SUPPOSED to look on the PS3.
