Barguast Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Halleujah. I will be more inclined to go with the PS3 version despite the supposed 'exclusive content' on the Xbox 360. The recent Oblivion 'horse armour' debacle should have taught us that upgrades via Xbox Marketplace and the like are more of a curse than a blessing.

The 2 year gap gives me time to save up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barguast Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 R* aren't angels - if they think they can charge money for what basically amounts to a new texture and some tweaked statistics then they will. Yes, I would be inclined to pay for more in the way of extra map locations, missions, and - should they come up with something special - vehicles. But if it amounts to new clothes, new car textures, etc (which I think is far more likely) then I can well do without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldrusher Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 2007 ??? I can't wait that long. For goodness sake, why announced a game 19 months in advance ??? It's GTA, not Duke Nukem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barguast Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 2007 ??? I can't wait that long. For goodness sake, why announced a game 19 months in advance ??? It's GTA, not Duke Nukem. Heh, I've always found the build up to a new GTA game to be more exciting than actually playing it. Rome wasn't built in a day - the duration implies that they truly are building something special, and as long as there is a steady trickle of information from the near future until launch then I'll be happy to wait.

Rocketman9mm Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Great, i guess that means april 2008 for the PC why the hell won't they releace it for PC at the same time? there are a lot of PC gamers out there who don't feel they should wait.

Heh, I've always found the build up to a new GTA game to be more exciting than actually playing it. Exactly. I think Im having more fun speculating about the game then playing it will be.(probably not but you get where Im going). Im acctually pleased that it is comming in Oct 2007. By then I should have grown into my PS3. And people shouldnt be complaining. The way things are going, GTA 5 will be released 4 years after 4. GTA3 - Vice 1 years Vice - SA 2 years SA - GTA4 3 years you get the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky. Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Now for the decision...PS3 or Xbox 360? Good move by r* and take-2 though, they will generate a huge amount of cash now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATK Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Also anyone notice the Xbox Live logo next to the 360? or is that just part of the 360 logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GH0STce11 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 well, sony is going down. for all the GTA/PS2 fan boys that loved getting GTA first, now they can pay $100-$300 more to get GTAIV for P$3 or buy the cheaper, yet equally capable system for less. Sony is effed. I hope that the game is over more that one city/state, it sure is a long time to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ermmm No....It gives Sony a chance for some friendly rivalry, and also there will be alot more PS3 exclusive games to keep Sony up there...

They didnt release the name of San Andreas until a few months before release.(early 2004). But they tell us the name of the game over a year in advace.

Kippers Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 (edited) finally some big news. but now that they've announced it, they probably won't release any details about the game itself til next year, around march-may(e3) Not necesarily. They didnt release the name of San Andreas until a few months before release.(early 2004). But they tell us the name of the game over a year in advace. I wouldnt be surprised if they gave use atlest some info about the game late this year. Well, everyone had already kind of predicted the name of GTA4 a few months after SA came out, so there would have been no point in keeping us all waiting a year to find out that the name was exactly what we had expected it to be a year before release. So as you know the name it makes perfect sense for R* to stick the 'teaser page' onto their website. I guess E3 was just in the right place at the right time. But why the accurate release date? October 16-19th. Bet that wil proably change day a couple of times before release. Also another reason for the early announcement could be because as GTA4 is on a new console, they would need to advertise and get the word out that GTA4 is definitly coming so that people have more than enough time to save up and buy a PS3 in time for GTA4 or 360 Edited May 9, 2006 by kippers 習うより慣れろ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
