Now, let people get out of their cars and do whatever they want to win, or prevent other people from winning. Wow, just wow."
*craps pants* - blanktarget, on 04/09/2008, -3/+54I wasn't super excited til I read about all the multiplayer. I'm sold now.
- inactive, on 04/09/2008, -0/+29You sir, are a hard sell.
- theaceoffire, on 04/09/2008, -6/+28I would go with the PS3 (And I did).
However, that is because I own PS2 games, and a PS1/PS1 games. I am biased.
So, a Biased opinion from the PS3 side is this:
Free online play, Upgrade your harddrive with any notebook hard drive, free browser and stores all your memory cards into the hard drive for the older games (which reduces load times). Free Blu-Ray player, music player, and free themes, wall papers, icons, etc. Very stable and quiet, comes with free wifi. Motion sensitive controller that can is rechargeable with any USB 2.0 connector. Supports usb/bluetooth mouse, keyboard, and it allows external Fat32 hard drives. Oh, and games can be hosted by ps3's or by online servers at the choice of the developer. You can download games you buy onto 4 other PS3's (5 total). And there is no size limit on downloadable games (Xbox's Arcade has a size limit of 150MB per Arcade games as of now).
My Biased 360 opinion goes like this (I believe, please someone correct me.):
360 has a small fee for great yearly service (Xbox live), comes in parts so that you can pick what you want (Get one with a hard drive anyway), you can plug in a cheap usb wifi thing so you don't have to get the MS one, there is a larger community online (Not sure about this), you can talk to people/etc from within games (need this confirmed), it has some great FPS games like Bioshock (BUY THIS, IT ROCKS) and Halo 3 (I liked it), it doesn't have install times for games (No hard drive on some models). The Xbox might have some technical issues, but if it is the RRoD MS will replace it for free (And revalidate your purchases for the new hard drive) if it is within 3 years. It is also smaller than the ps3 I believe. The price is lower than the base price for the PS3 (If you don't buy one with a hard drive, and you don't play online, etc).
Like I said, I picked the PS3 because I had a library of games. I got the 60 GB version (Which you can still get on Ebay), cause it can play all ps2 games with very few if any issues. - Evolutuon, on 04/09/2008, -1/+22Never thought I'd get another chance in my adult life to play "cops and robbers" again.
- MillionsLivio, on 04/09/2008, -7/+28If you care about online play, get a 360.
- inactive, on 04/09/2008, -1/+20I remember playing GTA 2 over my computer network(LAN), that was fun enough as it is, i can't even begin to imagine how much fun this will be.
- mrfreeziexp, on 04/09/2008, -0/+18I did a LOT more than crap my pants at that sentence.
- exp3000, on 04/09/2008, -0/+15Holy ***** ***** Balls. I cannot wait for this game. This is the most excited i've been for a game in a while.
- santaliqueur, on 04/09/2008, -0/+12"Rite" after you learn to spell.
- heathuff23, on 04/09/2008, -2/+14it is improper to use that term in this day and age...I believe the word you are looking for is startafrican-american...thanks!
- ReeferChiefer42, on 04/09/2008, -4/+16Just in case you people haven't heard: if you are debating getting a PS3 or 360 for this game, keep in mind that the 360 version will have exclusive downloadable content that the PS3 will not get, nor will it ever (Microsoft payed big bucks to Rockstar to ensure this).
So, it's your choice, I just think that this is very much worth considering. - MSstar, on 04/09/2008, -0/+12I feel like a lot of 12 years old bastard on Xbox Live are going to camp a spot and kill everyone...
- gfxlonghorn, on 04/09/2008, -2/+14I too am considering buying a PS3 for this game.. god damn, if they released it simul. for computers, the game would fly off the shelves...(or torrent networks)..
- objectcode, on 04/09/2008, -0/+11only because your hand is still recovering from the last game you played nonstop
- Multipurpose, on 04/09/2008, -1/+11I knew there was a reason I was born on April 29th.
- joegibes, on 04/09/2008, -1/+11All I needed to hear was the 16-player free run mode. So epic it hurts.
- albotropolis, on 04/09/2008, -2/+12Man this sounds sweet.
- ATLien74, on 04/09/2008, -0/+10I keep seeing Cartman pacing back and forth in front of the GameStore waiting for the Wii to come out.. "Come on...Come on!!...Come ON!!" :-)
This game is going to be the *****! - joegibes, on 04/09/2008, -0/+9You have a 360 in prison?
- samuraix98, on 04/09/2008, -1/+9thanks for putting so much effort in to this, i greatly appreciate it.
- xTRUMANx, on 04/09/2008, -1/+9As of now, there isn't that much information out there to make the judgment of which version would be better. The only thing separating the two versions is that the 360 version will have some exclusive downloadable content on the way. If you see yourself hooking up your 360 to the internet and spending money on future content, you should give the 360 some serious thought.
In my opinion, check out the game libraries and features of each console and decide which you would rather like. Would be silly if you bought a console for one game and hated everything else about it. - nobelief, on 04/09/2008, -0/+8you act like only 12 yr olds do that
- lotec, on 04/09/2008, -2/+9I bought a ps3 on the weekend for exactly this.
GTAIV + GT5 = win - bobakanush, on 04/09/2008, -1/+8I'm hoping the multiplayer won't be anything like Crackdown
- theaceoffire, on 04/09/2008, -1/+7O.o It will be killer, period.
- stinger666, on 04/09/2008, -1/+7liar
- credence, on 04/09/2008, -3/+9I will buy a 360 for this. I will sell my soul also, if needed.
Also, does anyone else just absolutely love the knife fight on the construction beam in that one screenshot? Yea gods. - jforward, on 04/09/2008, -0/+6Not now, Jerry.
- beclamide, on 04/09/2008, -0/+6So... frustrating... far too many days between me and GTA!! Stupid Gregorians and their stupid calendar system!
- TheWorm, on 04/09/2008, -0/+6Crackdown had multiplayer?
- almightyzam, on 04/09/2008, -0/+6I pray to god that my 360 doesn't get the rrod as soon as i get the game...
- MrZop, on 04/09/2008, -0/+5From what i've heard, the two versions (PS3/360) will look the same. only a slight difference in lighting. I think the PS3 has a brighter lighting scheme, they call it 'Warmer'). So they're the same. 3box wins on Downloadable content if you plan on buying the expansion packs eventually. ps3 wins for sheer power. but it really depends on two things: 1) what games do you play? if you want halo, get an xbox, if you want Metal Gear solid or Gran Turismo, get a ps3. pick whatever console has the games you most want to play. the games are more important than the hardware running them. 2) what do your friends have? if they all have 360's you may want to get a 360 so you can play with them online. same with the PS3.
I'm in the same boat as you. i cannot decide what console to get. i have until GTA4 launch day to decide. I sort of want a 360, but my friends have PS3's, and i really want to play all this Multiplayer with them.
Disregard the spelling. i see all the red sqigglies, but i don't care. - Igei, on 04/09/2008, -0/+5The controls are fine. Heli wasn't until Vice City anyway. Not 3.
- Akaji, on 04/09/2008, -3/+8 /facepalm
- UNDERSTAR, on 04/09/2008, -0/+4SMOKE!!!
- smeenz, on 04/09/2008, -0/+4But does anyone here have a social life ?
- blaquekyd, on 04/09/2008, -3/+7my gf is going to hate me when this game comes out. she gave me crazy looks when we went to reserve it.
- Treason, on 04/09/2008, -0/+4He came... loads
- doubledmateo, on 04/09/2008, -0/+4http://www.psu.com/Sony-comments-on-exclusive-360- ...
here's a link if you don't believe. You can also google it, as it's been a rather talked about thing. - freakydingo, on 04/09/2008, -0/+4I've been really skeptical about the GTA multi-player, but after reading an article in OXM and now this one from Kotaku, I'm really beginning to become convinced this could work out. The author of this article seemed to have the same point of view I had previously. And plus he wasn't foaming at the mouth like everyone else is, he even said the single-player "didn't seem to include any giant leaps forward for the franchise." (This convinced me he wasn't just a fanboy.) I have to stop procrastinating about pre-ordering this darn game!
- theaceoffire, on 04/09/2008, -2/+6Sorry, I tried to edit it, make it easier to read, and so forth, but it gave me a "Reload the page" error...
- SuperRoach, on 04/09/2008, -1/+5Any other differences?
I'm not sold on which console to get. On one hand, the dlc content is a small bonus, the better xbox live is a big bonus.. but the ps3 will get mgs4. - nobelief, on 04/09/2008, -1/+5exclusive DLC ftw
- Meatball01, on 04/09/2008, -0/+3Nintendo would be glad to have GTA on their system....
- Scape3d, on 04/09/2008, -0/+3I've been stoked for this game since it was announced and I'm even more excited after reading this article. On a side note though, you'd think Kotaku writers would use grammar/spell check before submitting a story. Jesus, that thing was riddled with typos.
- kLacK, on 04/09/2008, -0/+3I told my gf that I was going to take the 29th off work to play all day. You know what she said? Take the 30th off, so you can play all night on the 29th, and then play all day the next day.
- Darksoul, on 04/09/2008, -0/+3Dear god I am salivating because of reading this dammit sigh time to run off to pre order. Dam man free roaming the entire city getting in cars with your friends and other players this is my dream game now only if they make an gta mmo next where I can become my own crime boss then I will play that till the end of time.
- Gizza, on 04/09/2008, -0/+3My housemates got it yesterday.
