IllusionMPN Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 (edited) http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1580161/2...123/index.jhtml Reports are coming in to us that the delay was because of development issues with the PS3. Rockstar hinted that GTA IV may have actually been ready for release back in October if it were not for the PS3 development going slowly. A Rockstar rep has come out and told MTV that the PS3 was a big factor in why GTA IV had to be delayed beyond its scheduled holiday 2007 release date in either October or November. He did state though that the development is at the point now where the PS3 version has caught up to the Xbox 360 version.

Transparanoia Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 In before fanboys. Although I must say I find it humorous. It's a pretty big "f*ck you" to 360 owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline_man Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Which still makes me worried about the PS3 version, and still wanna see what it looks like in motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gta-guru Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 do you really think it would have been ready even if it wasnt the ps3s fault? from what Ive read from all the previews they knew they showed it too early to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllusionMPN Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 But they still didn't show ANY PS3 shots in those previews yesterday. This could be one of two reasons, the PS3 version isn't quite ready, or it's just simply the same as the XBOX version so it didn't matter. Who knows.

ceedot Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I'll quote what I said before, because I'm sick of this sh*t: Well, of course the PS3 was one fault for the delay. So could have been the 360. Well, of course it is the 360's fault as well.They didn't fix the framerate on both consoles till recently. Both consoles are to blame, pure and simple. No console fight, no fanboy'ism. If it were on one console, it would still have been delayed. That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceedot Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Remember they say 'partly'. The other reason is most definately the 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlitement Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 A jab to 360 owners? More like, thanks a f*cking lot, PS3 owners. Just goes to show how "superior" you expect your version to be, just to soothe the anal pain of knowing that 360 owners get exclusive content. And what do I do? I don't really care, as long as you don't diss consoles without any actual merit and annoy 360 owners endlessly. Respect for the PS3, but a tad bit less for its owners in general. You'll enjoy the game nonetheless. Plus, nobody's stopping you from owning two consoles! Yeah, no one's done that in this thread but as far as it comes to seeing 50000+ PS3 vs. 360 threads it's always "0mg we're gonna have better framerates because there's a dogma that states that. And also, the content sucks because I want to believe it does so that I'll feel better about myself." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i.v Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 it doesn't matter what system caused it because if it wouldn't have been delayed it would have turned out looking like sh*t! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azil2fu Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Yes, and ? did you really have to create a new topic, instead of putting that f*cking sh*t into the GTA IV delayed topic ? Some people must be really sad in their life. Hopefully, we aren't all bastards, i don't care about who's to blame, because i'll have my 360 version of the game when the game will be ready, on april the 29th.

mailman07 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 call me a fanboy or whatever. but at the end of the day gta has always bin a playstaion franchise and if 360 had the technology to keep up with ps3 the game would have bin out in october , yes the ps3 can be difficult to program for more than other consoles but if 360 had blu ray etc they wouldnt have had to waste extra months trying to cater for both consoles.

FelipeVinhao Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I dunno why but this topic tends to be a fanboy fight. Anyway, there's no reason to blame "Playwii360". Every game is developed in a computer - that's fact! You can't simply attach a keyboard to a console and let its engine do the job (Xbox doesn't even have a HD to store this information, sorry fanboys I couldn't resist ). There's a lot of modeling and coding since the begining, and it's made in a good old PC (well, maybe not so old). The companies that don't release titles to PC is because they're interested on the profit the console can return. If they wanted, it was very possible. What happened to GTA4 is what happens to many games. Some unknown problem happened, fanboys start making conspiracy theories but never know the true, and the game is delayed anyway. Or someone there knows what happened to Duke Nuke Forever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBoyTraks Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I mean honestly who cares. Were getting the game in 3 months. Put this crap to rest. All will happen is this topic will turn into a dumb system war. Drop it. All that matter is APRIL 29, 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombified Jake Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Both consoles benefit each other. Because of the delay which was "apparently" produced because of the PS3's development taking longer, the Xbox 360 (and PS3) were given a lot of technical fixes, bug fixes and graphics improved. I'd prefer a game 100% ready, not one just thrown out onto the shelves which is really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also, the content sucks because I want to believe it does so that I'll feel better about myself." Now, getting that opinion of all PS3 owners is quite wrong. I own a PS3, you don't see me talking it up do you? No. Remember your dealing with a bunch of kids on this forum according to the poll that was taken a while ago. So don't let a handful of childish rants cast a negative shadow on PS3 owners. Rockstar said both versions are going to be identical. And they will! Plus look at the good points of the delay! The game is going to be far more polished that it would have been in October. Now cant we all just get along? We're all gamers and GTA fans!

chapman_bobby Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 (edited) Wow... MTV said it... sh*t it must be true then. Never mind the fact that MTV and Microsoft work together (see URGE for WMP). MTV is about as trust worthy of a news source as a homeless guy in the streets. They already destroyed music, let's not waste time letting them divide us on games as well. This is all a big f*cking waste of time. They needed more time to get both versions ready. Remember the previews all talking about an unstable frame rate? Remember Rockstar stating that both systems have their strengths and flaws? Let's drop it and get back to our mindless speculation and endlessly repeated topics on asinine subjects. Wait... why do I come here again? Edit: Why did I even bother trying... If I had something more amusing to do while at work I'd leave this sh*tty forum in a heart beat. Edited January 24, 2008 by chapman_bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Deuce Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 do you really think it would have been ready even if it wasnt the ps3s fault? Yes. And yeah, no sh*t, of course it was because of the PS3 version. It was started on the 360, so it's bound to be behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
