Pixel Counter Claims Red Dead Redemption Runs Higher Res on 360

[X2]

It was recently revealed that the PlayStation 3 version of Red Dead Redemption would be getting exclusive content. So what do 360 owners get? About 80 more lines of resolution, apparently.

User AlStrong from the Beyond3D Forum (via CVG) has claimed the PS3 version runs at 640p. This is as opposed to the 360 version, which is said to run at full 720p with 2x antialiasing. The number hasn't been confirmed, but pixel counters from Beyond3D have a strong track record, and no one has stepped forward to contradict AlStrong's claim.

If you're feverishly fumbling for your car keys hoping to swap out a pre-order before it's too late, stop and take a breath. While this is a technical shortcoming, no one but the most eagle-eyed of gamers are likely to notice. Like most current titles, the versions have essentially reached parity, and a few lines of resolution aren't going to change that. Check out our glowing review if you need more convincing to pick it up.

hmmm so far everyone is taking the highroad...but I can't help it!


The ps3 version probably isn't any fun at all.... I'm sure Darjii or whoever is going actively ruin all the PS3 side Red Dead threads much like Alan Wake threads.

[AaronSOLDIER]

So was the extra content from R* to make up for this?

[Pez_555]

not suprising as most multi plats look better on the 360, however i would choose DLC over resolution any day of the week.

[J3ff3]

can we swap sales threads for pixel counting threads please?

or ban both. i'm easy.

QFT and hilarity. +rep.

Seriously though, does it really matter? If it takes counting pixels and magnifying the screen to see jaggies, it just doesn't matter. I guess maybe only to the haters.

[Galvanise_]

Not surprised at all given this is running on the same version of the RAGE engine used to make GTA IV.

[Staticneuron]

I said this in the other thread, the resolution disparity isn't that noticable but the AA is.

It may not break the game for me but if I hadn't orderd it online for the PS3 already. My only consolation is if I get the $20 back, then I basically only payed half price for the game.

I recommend amazon to everyone who has a credit card and don't mind the shipping.

[labwarrior]

I would rather have Alan Wake in 720p, i have zero interest in this game

Me neither. I'm just not interested in sandbox games.
<-- GTA-hater.

Game looks great though.

[LaOMaN]

if the game isnt the same on each console they shouldnt even release it

[SnowHawk]

Oh noes what am i supposed to do, I can't play RDR with jaggies that you can only see 400% zoomed in and sitting 1 foot away from the screen.

Maybe you guys can form some sort of alliance for PS3 users and sue R*? (I agree with you btw)....

That sounds like a pain tbh, I will just enjoy the game because it looks fantastic. =)

No multiplatform game will ever be completely the same. Each system has different architecture so even if the differences are negligible, they will still be there. If this is a Bayonetta or Ghost Busters deal, the version with the glaring issues should be delayed to correct those issues.

I don't think this is THAT big a deal. One looks a little crisper...no big deal. The PS3 version still looks very good.

LMFAO! Then you can join my gang of people who enjoy the game because it's good.

I always use Amazon. They don't charge taxes and shipping is free. If I had the funds, I would get RDR and use the $20 for Alan Wake which they have for $50.

[The Sith]

shame on you Rockstar sub hd on the ps3. I will definitely pick the 360 version fo sho.

[Sparc]

Blimey, Darji is going to be busy in the PS3 forums today.

Seriously though, most people here know that when this game is in motion it probably won't be noticeable. Prettu damn sure the PS3 owners will still get a kick *** experience. Pixel counting is for people with small weeners or those trying to surreptitiously suggest a console is pants and can be outperformed by fictitious fantastical PC's which cost $200

[Tutankhamun]

I'm actually getting a bad vibe from this game, it comes out in two days here in Sweden and I have it pre-orderd. But it seems it's just a re skinned GTA IV. I'm not sure I will enjoy that tbh.

I think you need to go read metacritic and reassure yourself you are doing the right thing! Relax, the game will be kick ***.

I haven't read any reviews and I refuse to do so before I will get the chance to play it, reviews always hype the hell out of me Want to go into this not hyped out of my ears

Hopefully it's great, but I saw a trailer where the dude was drinking shots and it looked exactly as when you drink shots in GTA The Ballad of Gay Tony.

[Dasimpse]

LMFAO! Then you can join my gang of people who enjoy the game because it's good.

wooot, can i join?,please, ive been watching hd videos of both versions for about 3 days, in pure excitement, and they both look amazing!!!!

[labwarrior]

Me neither. I'm just not interested in sandbox games.

Game looks great though.

I have to admit though that i am a bit biased against it because

1. I hated GTA4, was one of the most repeatitve and tedious games i have ever played

2. I just dont like westerns much

But i plan to give it a rent on my 360 and see if i can stand it for more tha a few hours,at which point i returned GTA4

[A7MAD]

When I first got RDR I had no choice but the 360 version as it was available early for me in the store.

I guess that worked out for the best for me.

Here's a good post to check out from GAF.

CheapyD deserves an apology from me mostly because I laughed at him for his comments but imo he was right.
