Analyst: PS3 caused GTA IV delay

But what if 360 was actually causing problems.Its disc has lesser space then blue-ray + every preview +E3 demo was presented on a Xbox meaning Xbox is the place where everybody saw bad frame rate and stuff and sh*tted to rockstar and since they have a extra deal with microsoft,then cant delay ps3 for 2 weeks and give an uncomplete 360 version that is to get DLc too so they delayed it because of Microsoft.I know this will never get to public and we may never know the truth but tis is my theory!!!!

x360 fanboys gloating about DLC

Yeah, because only fanboys can acknowledge that their console will have the better version of the game. dozingoff.gif

well, they are fans and are generally boys so 1+1 = ?

 

so every xbox360 has it in them to gloat mindlessly about DLC?

 

even tho they know jack-sh*t about it other than "episodic" and complete gta experience as quo from R* employee?

 

dont forget just recently the whole of R* claimed an october release smile.gif

 

well, doesn't sound all too friendly mister thedude5000

 

I'm too literal, kiss me~

 

i think I'll join in fun and say your a fanboy and im a fanboy and everyones a fanboy because they really are, fanboy doesnt have to be a bad thing unless a fanboy makes the other fanboys look bad, stupid fanboys really... it's not their fault, it's the other fanboy~ gettit?

Nah man with your crazy post structures and poor use of the English language it's hard for me to decipher your comments. My point was, you're acting as if only fanboys can be happy about having DLC. There's a difference between a normal fan, and a fanboy. A fan is just happy over having exclusive content. Especially if he already has a 360, and has pre-ordered it. A fanboy, will constantly bring up DLC and say the PS3 version will suck, for example. Now I said the 360 version would be superior, but I have also said before in other topics, that both versions would be great anyway. So I'd consider myself to fall under the "fan" category, but I can still see the obvious truth that purchasing GTA IV on the 360 would be a wise decision.

 

-$200 cheaper console

-XBox Live > PSN, so that means better online play

-Exclusive content

 

Many trusted gaming sites and magazines would agree with me on the above points. Even R* just admitted the PS3 version of the game was trailing behind. It's more along the lines of being a realist, not a fanboy. But of course, jealous people will get butthurt over me taking pride in having a superior version of one of the most anticipated games of the decade. They'll also try to twist and distort my comments to make me appear to be a fanboy, because they can't really counter my arguments. Don't blame me because things turned out this way. It's not my fault that R* chose 360 as the lead platform for development. I think some people here are blind Sony fanboys and just can't stand that their 10+ year console reign is over, and so is their greedy GTA exclusivity contract.

Actually I have to agree with Thedude500. He makes a valid point. The 360 version is superior, so far.

well whoops~

 

I'm asian so my english is a sh*tlock happy suntime

 

smile.gif

 

sorry if that meant that anyone happy is synonymous to anyone righteously shoving DLC into a PS3 owners face smile.gif

 

it's a bad impression left from preteens spewing on various forums really (irregardless of console preference)

 

so sorry if I took the "gonna be superior" as "awesomely better ps3 cockbullsh*t suck my funstick suck it suck it"

 

I guess in a way it's like shoving MGS4 into every 360 owners face I guess...

 

ah well, yin/yang all is balanced on a prick

 

sorry about that

 

I promise to take 5 years into an english course in england and learn proper english the way english was meant to be english

 

now 'scuse me as I'm getting a headache trying to be stupid here in a forum I hardly take as "serious business" anymore wink.gif

 

poor wording and sentence structure really PERIOD

 

oh and your still a fanboy neener~neener smile.giflearn to smile mister

Analysts in my opinion can guess as well as anyone the reason for the delay. I constantly find these analysts contradicting each other which means their opinion isn't exactly special and most don't make accurate analysis.

 

But, if we were to look at the evidence we have, that being that the PS3 version was behind in development, then you could easily come to this conclusion and I feel that this analyst may be correct.

 

But overall it is speculation. Educated speculation maybe, but still speculation.

it's true that the ps3 version was falling behind but only because rockstar had the 360 tech before the ps3 tech, Rockstar said so themselves. The analyst might be right about the ps3 holding up gta4 with the fact that the ps3 was a couple of weeks behind. After they have more experience with the tech rockstar should have little to no trouble in developing future games on the ps3.

makes sense considering everything of the game we've seen so far has been running off of an xbox360.

 

I'm not a fanboy, I don't even own either console. I own a ps2 and thats it, never owned an xbox. Im still deciding which one to get.

RIP Rockstar Games

1998 - 2021

it seems like the xbox360 is the new ps2 great games easy to develop for and ps3 is the old xbox good graphics but piece of crap with ported games so who would you trust a company that makes digital cameras and tv's=sony or a company that makes computers = microsoft Edited by gearofwar

It's more a case of:

 

Who would you trust? A company that owns both of the fastest ever selling consoles or a company that jumped the gun?

 

But anyway, I'm not a fanboy and I'm not really bothered, I wouldn't have been able to get it for Christmas either way.

No, I meant to add the two previous generation's fastest sellers (sorry). Also, Ninty doesn't count as it won't be featuring GTA IV. anuj_cop.gif for me.

A professional analyst working for one of the largest financial and investment firms in the United States. This isn't some blogger sitting in his mother's basement nibbling on cheese doodles. Speculation or not, it's still relevant. And I trust the words of an analyst more than some fruitcup posting on a message board.

 

Also, I'd like to point out that GTA4.NET covers not only official news, but rumors and ideas as well. We just have a decent track record of being on the ball with accurate, informative content.

I don't think that working for a large financial investment firm makes you correct in what you say. Tons of analysts working for large financial investment firms contradict each other and disagree in ways where they can't all be right.

 

He might be right, but the fact that he works for a large investment firm doesn't make that any more likely.

 

Working for a company doesn't give you all the credibility that the company has.

Oh geez. dozingoff.gif 360 fanboys are gonna have a field day with this one.

well.. when i first heard that gtaiv was delayed, i basically thought it was due to the ps3, didnt piss me off as much though.

 

I have a ps3 and a 360, I'd rather buy the game on the ps3 and if this delay means the game will be released on both consoles at the same time, then hey, im all for it!

 

the 360 already has a slight advantage if gtaiv got released a fews or months earlier on the 360 then well, it'll surely help their sales and could sky rocket them to number one.

 

Rockstar wouldnt want to do that, specially due to gta 3 and the partnership they have with sony.

 

who cares about the fanboys anyway, i want the next gen gta to be what the Rockstar team dreamed of.

The 360 is already in 1st place. Although GTA IV won't be out for the holiday season now, there's still Halo 3 coming. I myself hate the Halo series, but you have to admit it is extremely popular. Halo 2 actually outsold GTA: San Andreas in 2004.

I hope the ps3 makers stick the ps3 controlers up in their assholes, because that is the only way they will have fun with the PS3....

They should have brought the 360 version out on time, and just delayed ps3, so either Rockstar really wants to keep their commitments or this is not the problem.

Like I said a million times in every "Its PS3's fault" thread. I dont care who's fault it is, if they are having problems with the PS3, let them fix them, then we all can have a good experience. I dont have a PS3, but it doesnt make since to beat down Sony for this, R* can thank Sony for a vast majority of their sales.

No, it didn't. San Andreas was the best selling game of 2004. But I do agree about Halo 3, it'll most likely be the top selling title of the year.

Well, actually I meant at launch. Halo 2 sold more copies in its first day than San Andreas did in its first week, but since Halo 2 was released almost a month after San Andreas and less people had Xboxes at the time, of course San Andreas outsold Halo 2. Still, Halo 2 did pretty damn good under the circumstances.

Now it's due to Playstation fault. dozingoff.gif

 

Look, if this was really the problem, based on some news we had recently, GTA would be delay for only 2 weeks, and not 3 months. (f*cking search engine that never works when we need)

So basically, what the analyst is saying, is that rockstar is just

a bunch of retards who cant program for the best console

ever? I can live with that. Stupid rahkstar2.gif

 

IF this WAS true, which it most certainly is NOT (PS3 is NO LONGER hard to program for if you are a responsible enough dev to get the PSEDGE), then

it would just say that rockstar isnot as good as EA etc etc.

 

Oh well.

As I said in another thread, this is nothing but pure speculation. Could've been the PS3s fault, maybe the 360s. I don't care, what's done is done. All I care about is R* fixing the problem asap and actually releasing their game.

I knew it must be development issues with the PS3 version because the Xbox one is running smoothly and dozens of non-R* poeple have seen it so far and say that.

 

However I doubt it's the console's fault. It must be their Sony version development team is tossing salad or something because if any console should have a problem with a game this huge it should be the Xbox. I don't own either console but I will buy an Xbox and I think that.

 

But as for this article it is speculation let's not forget that. Maybe there are some licencing issues and whatnot.
