However, it's apparent that the PS3 version has an undeniable advantage in one area: even to the naked eye, ground textures on 360 are blurred as a result of what appears to be unoptimised asset streaming. Glitch or not, this basically amounts to concrete and grass textures appearing fuzzier beneath the feet of Trevor, Michael or Franklin, while the PS3 version's remain crystal clear. The 360 does command a minor advantage in frame-rate during synchronised play, but for shoot-outs and high-speed hurtles down the city streets, the PS3 can sometimes pull ahead in these metrics - though the difference is rarely perceptible either way. Since all else is identical across the board, the PS3 version is recommended on the grounds of image quality if you have the option.

The game is horrible while driving in daylight hours in the city though and it does bother me. It's GTA and I can live with it.
 
Good to know. I'm holding out for a PC version, but if I end up having to get a console version it will be the PS3.
 
So the "inferior" GPU in the PS3 has the "better" version. Things are looking good for the Xbox One.
 
The normal controls is L2/R2 but I think you can switch in the controls options. I'm not sure though because I haven't checked that in-depth yet.

I would really appreciate if you could check for sure during your next gaming-session.
I would like to know for sure that I have the option to have aim/shoot is on correct buttons before concidering buying it. :)

Sure, probably later tonight or if someone else notices this post, I'm sure they will respond in a timely manner as well.

If you completely discount the cell and its advantages over xenon, I guess.

The Xbox one and ps4 will have the same CPU, just one has more under the hood gpu wise.
 
Dam it's hard not to read these GTA5 topics. I wish I ordered mine from the shop instead on online, that will teach me next time :(
 
That looks to be a pretty big difference.

Don't have 2 PS3's though and plan on playing this online with 2 people at my house at a time, so 360 it is until the PC version drops.
