Isuck100% Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 The date of the release is convincing... "31/03/10" Hint at EFLC Manual: "Opens March Everywhere" I checked for it on the site and it seems to be gone now. Strange... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutalu Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) I don't have the 360, and I love GTA ... so I hope be true And it's possible. There are possibilites. Rockstar... Say something about this. PD: remember... - GTA on PS2 -> GTA on XBOX (GTA III, GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas) - GTA on PSP -> GTA on PS2 (Liberty City Stories, Vice City Stories) - Bully on PS2 -> Bully on XBOX360 and Wii - Table Tennis on XBOX360 -> Table Tennis on Wii - GTA Chinatown Wars on DS -> GTA Chinatown Wars on PSP and IPod touch/IPhone - GTA Episodes from Liberty City on XBOX360 -> ???

mortalhuman Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) You know it's going to be graphically enhanced, right? Rockstar employees have been on record saying that they are sick of stifling the PS3 version of RDR for 360 when it was originally a PS3 exclusive - this is fact - in light of the Rockstar Wives stuff, some spoke, and said the PS3 version of RDR is hurt by the 360 version and management focusing on pleasing that crowd beyond the original vision for the game. This is NO surprise considering it was in the news before IV came out that the 360 was holding that back as well (we learned it was true upon release and the "let us install it!" fiasco that changed MS lockdown on the HDD) That said, every version of GTA always has a new feature or bonus when it goes to the new platform. PC always gets custom tracks, got a video editor, etc. With THIS LONG between releases, this is going to be where Rockstar North "really opens up" GTA IV. If a few months allowed BoGT to look that much better on 360 than IV, imagine this long-ass time between then and the PS3 version they have to make the package worth such a late purchase. If it comes to consoles, the late ones will almost certainly indeed, quite fittingly and deservingly, have "the last laugh", and all the sh*t talking "you'll never get IV on PC!" stuff will be similar to the outcome of this particular segment as well: Greedy fanboy egos were wrong (as usual - believing the marketing hype and lies before believing history - tsk tsk). I also would not be surprised if it has a lot more extras like longer radio stations or more television to sell to the media-centric PS3 base. It's still not going to be better than my copy on the PC LOL. Edited January 28, 2010 by mortalhuman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBruceter Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 You could be right mortalhuman, but hey, don't get our hopes up too high.. We're still waiting for an announcment for the EFLC, never mind up scalling graphics. I have heard that games get coded for the 360 first, then shifted to the PS3. Maybe since they have had a while, they might have done tweaks After March, thats when i give up hope. and lol @ MS fanboys and others that sold out to the scheme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesley123 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Sony isn't as retarded as Microsoft. yes but did sony step into that deal and say "Hey R*, we want that game to blah blah blah" ? No. But like he said. Sony aren't retarded and they sure as hell aint a bunch of cry babies who hand out millions of dollars when they don't get what they want. too bad ps3 players are...

mortalhuman Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Too bad if you zoom in on that image, you can tell that the PS3 bar is a doctored image. Too bad every box art is made that way and these guys and toys r us and however many other places added this to their shopping cart and forgot to check "Publish on specified date" would never even do it in the first place unless they received the marketing materials from their distributors. They didn't "take them down" here nor on Toys R Us - they made it hidden. I have blog posts stacked up to come out once in a while in some of my blogs, sometimes I forget to make them for a later date - it is an easy mistake to make in many CMS. These are accidental early postings. They are not mistakes besides in that regard, and every promo box art is a cover art pasted onto a product package template - do you really think the pictures you see on amazon.com are actual pictures of game cases? In many instances mate they are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCstuntman Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I doubt it's getting a graphical enhancement; just because the PC version had extra "goodies" doesn't mean EFLC will. For one, it's a PC version, so obviously they're going to change some things, because a direct port just wouldn't cut it (For example all PC games need the option to change graphics quality). But a PS3 is pretty much the same thing as an X360 except for the blue ray discs, so a direct port should work perfectly fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash_735 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Talking about the graphics on the PS3 version is pointless, GTA IV hasn't been updated in over a year on the PS3, since then the PS3 itself has gone through various Firmware changes and games are now allowed to use an extra 20MB of RAM, which some games have used to increase the resolution or increase framerate and AA. Rockstar have left the PS3 version out in the dust, there are still bugs in the multiplayer that need fixing but Rockstar obviously don't give a crap about the PS3 version. IF there is an EFLC for PS3, then Rockstar need to show they've updated the game engine so that it looks better than GTA4, if it doesn't, then they'll be prooving a point that they just do lazy ports.

Yes, almighty Microsoft granted R* to survive by plucking the obscure "GTA" series out of the depths of cult status and into the limelight. Pictured: wesley123's view of Microsoft.

I could't agree more. The PS3 and PC are the bitchchilds of R* Since TBOGT was released the Xbox had 7. SEVEN! multiplayer events!! where is the love for the other 60 percent of their fanbase??!

But a PS3 is pretty much the same thing as an X360 except for the blue ray discs, so a direct port should work perfectly fine. Except they need to make it worth it to the PS3 player too. The PC player could and most likely will get a straight port with a few small extra features - an outfit or some sh*t, seriously. We already got the vid editor, independence FM, and better graphics. If they do come out with it, they need to make it worth a 1-year-later release - they will also need to justify releasing it and also need to show it is maturing - it will basically, most likely, come with everything "so far" added to the graphics between the last episode and the next game... The engine will be more mature, and that will be reflected, and then marketing will use that as a tactic to say "Here's what we owe our loyal PS3 fans, oh, and PC fanboys STFU NOW MORTALHUMAN WE PUBLISHED IT ON PC TOO, KAY? GET OFF OUR BACKS AND OUT OF OUR OFFICE AND LEAVE OUR WOMEN ALONE" Along those lines, maybe the end is a bit overstated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macorules94 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Funny coz on the 360 version I always get disconnected and taken back to single player, yet I pay for Xbox live which is supposed to be dedicated, and the 360 version of IV is Rockstars pet. And when I play the PS3 version, i play for ages and don't get disconnected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
