Xbox 360/PS3: GTA IV Compared To Saints Row...Who Wins?

Xbox 360/PS3: GTA IV Compared To Saints Row...Who Wins? Before answering the obvious question, let’s take a stroll through this pay-per-view style match-up: Both games have sexually explicit content, both games contain foul language and both games encourage the player to be abnormally violent. Based on the basics, it seems like a tie. But it’s not.

Now, since Saints Row allows the gamer to create their own character it adds a bit of intrigue and immersion – as to how the character develops in the overall sense. With GTA’s mission-based character developments, it can sometimes seem like the protagonist of the story only has a life in-between mission segments. Whether this will change with GTA IV is something I’m highly doubtful of. But character creation/story aside, GTA IV kicks butt in the graphical department.

While Saint’s Row looks kind of okay by itself – when compared to the uber-lighting effects of GTA IV, Saint’s Row turns into a craggily looking turd that was somehow transformed into game code. Why the developers would turn fecal matter into interactive content is beyond me. But Saint’s Row for the PS3 best be prepared to retire on retailers’ shelves after anyone gets a glimpse of this comparison trailer. Of course, don’t take my word for it...the visual competency of GT’s footage says it all. Enjoy.

    GTA:IV. No competition. On every feature. It got IGNs only 10/10 since Soul Caliber in 1999. This should be revolutionary.

    Saints row can actually be compared with gta. In the shadow of gta saints row brought things to the table that gta never has before. Like the way people die in gta its the same thing everytime the fall on their knees then faceplant the ground. Saints row has a ragdoll system the has been stolen from them by GTA IV. I dnt think that saints row could stand up to GTA but all in all saints row is a great game and one of the best that I own. When saints row 2 comes out later this year I will gladly purchase a limited edition and love both games at the same time

    you people are fucking stupid man they are comparing GTA IV trailer that was polished to make itself look exalent and your watchin a poorly made video on saints row that is dark as a mutha licka. People who actually play the game KNOW that the actual game play is alot brighter than that + who cares if its better or not why dont you play both and stop bitching bout it all

    To put this dead horse in a grave...

    GTA IV's trailer is actual gameplay footage. It's called in-game demo footage. It's no different than the test-demos from most game engine developers -- it's actually realtime processing. So stop your bickering about "in-game footage"...

    Besides, when did Rockstar use any demo footage of 3D GTA games that wasn't in-game? More importantly, why on earth would Rockstar design an entire city with realtime lighting and AI processing (in the one clip the characters were changing path directions during mid-stride) if it wasn't in-game?

    thats EXACTLY what im saying. so stop making shit up dave. the xbox 360 is kicking the ps3's butt right now, and everyone knows it, even if the ps3 has better graphics. the 360 is winning because of the games right now that already have good enough graphics

    You are comparing a teaser trailer that has been polished up quite a bit, to actual gameplay.

    the gta4 trailer is made from the game engine running on current hardware, this should mean that it looks pretty much as the trailer.
    But i know what some are thinking, just show us actual game footage (from the correct in game camera views etc).

    Dave, BTW, my guess is its 360 hardware fottage. The ps3 seems to have a lot more lighting going on (not saying better or anything, just different) if you look at cod 3 footage, seems as though 360 lighting is a bit darker than ps3. That armoured core 360 / ps3 comparison kind of shows what i mean also.

    Martin is spot on. Wait until you have _two_ in-game video footage and compare them. This is a bit of BS really.. comparing a movie to in-game.

    i totally agree with martin about the actual gameplay footage. however, i do like GT better than Saints Row so i am hoping that the actual gameplay graphics, are the same if not better than the teaser video
