GTA 4
- Thread starter nonfiCKtion
- Start date
From what I understand, the 360 version is pretty much finished, and if they were pressed to release it on Oct. 16th like planned, they could of made the release date for the 360, but not the PS3.
It is actually a good thing that it got delayed though, with so many great games coming out in the next couple months, GTA IV would have stolen the thunder, and sales, from a lot of other games.

Hater ass statment. i know you love the 360 and hate the ps3 but that sounded really one sided. it could also be the fact that the xbox 360 doesnt have a hard drive on all their consoles so they cant temp load files to the hard drives since some consoles dont have one. so they are messing around with that too.
the real delay is the fact the rockstar wants to make the best game possible not just something to sell. they want perfection.

No, they're not.. Microsoft payed 50 million dollars or something like that to be the only console with downloadable content.. or exclusive downloadable content.. PS3 may have some, but it'll probably be stuff that's on 360..
The DVD thing isn't the problem with the 360.. DVD is probably better for the game since DVD has faster read times than Blu-Ray..
The problems are on both systems, though. PS3 because the game IS programmed for 360 and they are having trouble getting it to work on PS3 because that's the secondary console now like Xbox used to be. Framerates for all games are shitty on PS3 because it's so hard to program for.
The problem with 360 is that they can't guarantee that everybody has a hardddrive, so, it's screwing framerates in that sense because reading from a harddrive is much faster than a blu-ray or dvd. PS3 will have that advantage, however they'll probably make the game be Harddrive only on 360, which means if you don't have a harddrive on your 360, which you are an idiot not to, you won't be able to play it on PS3.
From what I've read though, the PS3 is probably the main part of the problem, but 360 is having it's troubles, too.. And the game just wasn't coming along as fast as they wanted.. And I think it'll be coming out after March, as well. Right now the release date is spring.. Which I think is March-May, or something like that.

IF IT SO HARD PROGRAMMING FOR PS3 THEN WHY WAS RESISTENCE NOT HARD TO PROGRAM FOR AND NBA 2K8 THERE REALLY AIN'T NOTHING WRONG WITH THOSE GAMES OTHER THEN 2K8 CHEATS, BUT THE PS3 HARD TO DEVELOP FOR THING IS BULLSHIT GAME DEVELOPER COMPANIES JUST BE BULLSHITIN AND TRYING TO MAKE HELLA MONEY INSTEAD OF SPENDING TIME TO MAKE A QUALITY PRODUCT.
PLUS GAMES THAT COME OUT EVERY YEAR ARE GONNA BE HORRIBLE FOR EVER, IF THE MAKE THE GAME REALLY GREAT THERE WILL BE NOTHING THE NEXT YEAR FOR THEM REALLY TO IMPROVE ON SO THESE DEVELOPERS JUST BULLSHIT US EVERY YEAR, AND THIS SHIT SUCKS BECAUSE THESE NEW CONSOLES CAN DO HELLA SHIT BUT THE DEVELOPERS AIN'T PUSHIN THE POWER

Resistance wasn't hard because it was made just for PS3. Most games now are made for 360 and ported to PS3 because they want the original game to be on the system that has a bigger userbase and more people playing. The original version is usually the better version..
It's just like the Xbox versions of games like MGS2.. The PS2 was what they built it off of, and the eventually ported it over to Xbox, and it wasn't nearly as good. It hard framerate and numerous other problems.

1. There was a playable demo for the 360 up at E3. To this day, not even a screenshot of the PS3 version has been shown.
2. It was announced somewhere, I believe Kotaku, that this would require a hard drive, just like Call of Duty 4.
3. Take Two (the publishers) were in big financial trouble before BioShock came out. Best believe if BioShock had somehow flopped, they would have forced Rockstar to release GTA IV early, just to save the company. It is really not up to Rockstar when the game is released.
Also, I agree with damn near all of what Robby said. And I don't hate the PS3 as much as you all think I do... when it comes out with some games that are worth playing, I'll get one, but it will take more than Metal Gear 4 or Final Fantasy 13 to sway me. I don't even think God of War 3 would do it.
Final Fantasy anything (besides MMORPG with a fee) would sway me to get a PS3. However, when they get off those high ass prices, I'll cop one.
Sony seems REALLY unorganized this time around. Their lack of organization allowed DMC4 and GTAIV to be multi platorm games with no time limits. How many times are they going to reconfigure the SKU's?

I think they would've let them release GTA whenever they wanted to release it..
They also had Bully for Wii coming out. And Manhunt 2, a big reason for there losses, is coming out this quarter, as well. Plus NBA2K8 was coming out in this quarter.. Table Tennis is coming to the Wii in a few days. This'll be a big quarter for Take 2. And now the next quarter will be huge, as well.. Two big quarters to start off the 2008 Fiscal Year.
