R* and Sony are at it again.

If this game won't be on PC I don't care.

If they do Warriors again I will sh*t a bigger brick than the ones they used to build the pyramids.

 

Bully would be incredible.

 

San Andreas remake would be awesome.

 

GODDAMNIT. I wish they gave some better hints.

maybe the episodes on 360 were really just a way to give microsoft a chance to prove the GTA after IV (since all those rumors about capacity) would be able to be bought on a disc half,then the other hal downloaded or something. Maybe it all depends on how well the episodes do? ANyone think it's possible? Like, maybe it's to see how well it will penetrate in digital distribution on xbox live (like, they probably know 'ok, if this much of 2 sorta-small GTA's sell, a whole one would definitely sell X-much")?

 

In which case I'd guess one word: Manhunt.

 

Someone mentioned twisted metal, but that's not Rockstar, but you're right, it is confirmed on a side note (yay!).

 

And, for those saying PS3 will get all Rockstar titles at some point, well, here's Sam Houser talking about his excitement for PS3, but he never mentioned a 360 (in fact, no one at rockstar has Ever publicly praised the xbox 360 like this):

 

 

 

Alot to think about as fans, I guess really only time will tell us, but with the evolution of Microsoft gaming platforms (windows becoming second to xbox), as a PC gamer exclusively, I'm kinda scared of PS3 exclusivity (will it lock out PC versions or will it be like the good ol' days?)

I can`t imagine any developer, given the choice between HD-DVD (under 10Gb) and Blu-ray (50GB of storage space) choosing the HD-DVD format. But MS are now marketing a 250Gb hard drive and have the games on demand service, Plus they will soon be doing movies in full 1080p There`s no reason any game that comes to the PS3 cannot come to the 360 too, unless R* were unhappy with the way TLAD performed. Maybe that`s why they caved in and brought it to disk.

 

Anyway, here`s what Dan Houser thinks about disk vs download

 

 

"I know, as a consumer, I'm more comfortable buying [via download] songs, which are almost like playing a jukebox, than I am buying movies as purely digital items," Houser says. "We all feel that way, so we can surely get more people to experience it if we put it on a disc."

 

Does anyone agree?

I agree - that's perfect sense and the way Sony will appeal to people who want hard copies, while MS will most likely appeal to those open to pure digital distro.

 

I mean "OnLive" does anyone just smell that it's really MS/they will be aquired by MS? MS wants the PC to be purely cloud - they are using Live to make it the norm, they obviously would want to deliver games that way to avoid using a direct competitors storage media format. And people already say "I'm playing _____ on Live tonight" and not "I'm playing ____ on xbox" (well both, I'm sure, but I here "on live" a lot because it's more specific to MP/online gaming)

 

Thus, imo, MS will go to pure digital - and I don't think you'll wait to play, either. GTA will need to be downloaded fully to play, but most games can start with the runtime, a level, and the rest can DL while you are already playing.

 

The other thing that supports this is that Gabe Newell started out at MS and only started Valve because Bill and them were iffy about games at the time - Steam is poof of concept, just like OnLive is just a proof of concept, perhaps.

I don't know if I agree with that. Sony's new PSP, the PSP GO will be strictly downloadable games and no UMD capability whatsoever.

I can imagine Sony going this way with it's next console and maybe trying it out a bit with the PS3. The convenience of purchasing a full game from the comfort of your own home is incredible. No doubt I will still go out and buy certain titles though.

I bet you $5 that the PS2 GTA: III era games will come to PSN with trophies and stuff.

 

I hope that both DLCs will come to PS3 though.

buying a psp game online is one thing, but having to download a 20gb PS3 game would be a pita.
