147826, Looks better on PS3, eh?
Posted by chillinCHiEF, Fri Apr-25-08 07:56 PM
"While GTA IV is pushing the PS3 and 360 to the limit, it also runs amazingly well. Sure, there are framerate hitches here and there and (particularly on 360) there is some texture pop-in, but it actually runs better than I expected."

Uh oh. Framerate was one of the reasons I could never really get into the PS2 versions of the first games.

"For those wanting to know which version looks better, the edge goes to the PS3. The textures and framerate are comparable, but the PS3 has far less pop-in. The 360 has richer colors, but the PS3 has better anti-aliasing making it look a little cleaner. Because GTA IV can preload onto the PS3 hard drive, the in-game loads are faster. Don't worry Xbox owners, the load times are rarely more than 30 seconds and don't occur very often. The slight visual edge goes to PS3, but the 360 is no slouch. Either version will do you proud."


30 second load times? Daaamnnnn.

I was thinking about maybe getting this one for 360 (if I get it at all) considering the downloadable stuff, but I dunno now.

147829, dammit
Posted by Lach, Fri Apr-25-08 08:21 PM
Now I'm second guessing which one to get. I think I'll still end up sticking with the 360 one just based on the extra content and the fact that I know more people with 360 than PS3. PS3 frustrates me tho when I get game invites while I'm playing a game but I don't know which game it came from.
147832, Yeah.
Posted by chillinCHiEF, Fri Apr-25-08 08:27 PM
My worry is that they already said their doing in-game XMB sometime this summer, so if they fix that invite stuff, the game will still run better on PS3.

Plus a game that huge/long with 30+ second load times at points? Man, fuck that.

I was worried about the custom soundtrack situation on PS3 too, but apparently the soundtrack in this is dope as hell (plus other shit like Burnout has gotten it).

I still can't help but feel like I'm getting caught in the hype for this game the same way I got caught in the Madden hype last year.

honestly if i had a ps3 i'd still get the 360 version. i reckon that most of high tech will be getting the 360 version and i wouldn't want to miss out on gta mp with high tech because i couldn't take some minor popup and framerate issues. but that's just me

>never touched Crackdown's MP once.

i'm not that big on online mp *because* of halo, lol. i'm really looking forward to gta4's team based mp with a dynamic environment. i think every match will consist of multiple instances of "HOLY SHIT did that just happen?! HAHAHAHAHA!!!" and stuff like:

sniping the tires of getaway cars while sitting on the skid of a helicopter hundreds of feet in the air

cleverly set roadblocks and traps with multiple players popping out from behind corners to rip apart an opposing team's car with shotgun blasts

bike chases with real players; dodging grenades dropped by the player you're chasing

using the dynamic environment to your advantage i.e. funneling an opposing team into a traffic jam and letting loose the grenades and rockets

etc.

i think once ppl see exactly how dynamic the single player is their heads will explode when they realize that they will have the same experience in mp
147837, Really? I thought you used to play H2 all the time

Posted by bearfield, Fri Apr-25-08 09:17 PM
h2 was great. it was my first real fps mp experience and i was impressed with the dynamism of the battles in such a static setting. rarely were two encounters the same and interesting things happened almost every match

then halo 3 came out and it was exactly the same as halo 2, only a little more refined and with some new maps and weapons. normally that wouldn't be a problem but i was so used to the h2 experience that i was expecting a bigger leap forward. unfortunately that leap didn't happen. it was still '15 seconds of cool, repeated over and over' but 'cool' was now 'tedium.' every encounter felt the same because everyone used the same tried-and-true tactics. as a result my interest quickly died, along with my interest in fps games in general

I just cant get into the hype. IGN saying this is the best game since Zelda is a bit much. I only played the the 1st GTA and found myself liking the soundtrack more than the game itself. The same goes for Saints Row.
147869, I've been caught up in the hype
Posted by chillinCHiEF, Sat Apr-26-08 09:40 AM
I thought the first games were decent, but seriously flawed (8.0s at best).

I'm thinking I'm still gonna check it out though, if only to hold me over til MGS4.

all the reviews are saying this might be the best story ever told in video games.

the game world is apparently unbelievable.

how can y'all not be excited about this? this shit makes halo look like a browser-based Flash game.
148023, Most people who aren't (that) hyped are going on past experience
Posted by chillinCHiEF, Mon Apr-28-08 12:48 AM
For people who have enjoyed the games, GTA has succeed as the sum of it's parts. Still, from a game play perspective none of the individual elements in the previous games would have been good enough for even budget titles (horrible shooting, horrible melee combat, mediocre driving, etc.). On top of that, you had a lot of dull missions that could sometimes be a pain to complete, dragging the game down even further.

Halo, on the other hand, got the core game play of shooting and piloting vehicles absolutely perfect. Rarely are you doing anything too annoying or too divergent from the core shooting elements.

The only reason I'm kind of excited about this one is that it seems like they may have fixed the gunplay and driving (although the hand to hand stuff from the video looks just as bad as before).

I don't think anybody is buying this "oscar worthy" story stuff and the fact that it's rated highly doesn't mean much considering the last three games all got glowing praise despite the shitty game play. I'm excited about getting this one but I can definitely see why somebody wouldn't be.

well, that's another genre of amazing games you're missing out on. and they didn't even get anywhere *near* the level of reviews GTAIV has gotten.



>If I could jump off buldings or roof top to roof top like
>Crackdown, then I'll be sold.

well, you *can* jump off buildings. and fly helicopters. and motorboats. and motorcycles. and go to virtual internet cafes. and strip clubs. and listen to standup acts by real comedians in comedy clubs...



>you based this off what? You played it? And No Im not saying
>Halo3 is all that great.

Halo3 is just a platform for online competitive play. the storyline is a joke and the graphics are generic (space marine in a rocky environment). the amount of detail crammed into GTAIV is seriously next-level.

Posted by alexthezombie, Sun Apr-27-08 12:57 PM
Here's a hint: make nice with graveyard shift managers at large inventory store (Target, Wal-Mart, etc.) Your smaller shops only have 100-200 copies that they have to hand-count every morning so missing copies are noticed instantly. Your big box places.... they receive them without even opening up the boxes they came in and sit on somewhere around 800 or so copies.

You think anyone is counting that shit?

If you know anyone right now playing the game, I guarantee you, they got it from one of those places and paid an extra $20 for their copy.

Posted by alexthezombie, Sun Apr-27-08 01:07 PM
That lock box is really nice. Very high quality. Even the duffel bag is surprisingly well constructed, with a nice gold "R*" interior lining.

The soundtrack is alright, but will be online in a matter of days (if not right this instant).

The key chain is pretty nice. Very thick and solid steel. The art book is kind of whatever. It seems like every game has an art book, now (Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, Halo 3, and so on) so that's nothing real special.

Overall, the bonus stuff does have a high quality to it, unlike most SE extras, which are usually Happy Meal Toy quality (ie: Altair figurine, Ninja Gaiden DS sword stylus, etc.)

My only gripe is that the game itself has the same artwork as the regular edition. Would have been nice to have some alternate artwork.

I do like how the PS3 and the 360 SE boxes are different, though (http://media.tumblr.com/pv4uqfgfc87ebqz7LWISer3G_500.jpg)

the 360 has Niko because you're gonna get the story plus the extended story later on. it's all about Niko so he's on the box.

the PS3 version will look a little prettier, and while visually appealing and good for a short period of time, after the fun is done, it's done, so you get the girl/hooker.

So basically it comes down to this:

The 360 version gets Niko as the cover guy who kills people.

The PS3 version gets the female who the player who plays a role in the game somehow. All I know is I'm clocking off work three hours early for GTA 4.

I mean, its a business and shit has to get out by this quarter to meet profits, I understand.

But imagine if they could sit there and polish the shit out of it without any major time constraints(within Duke Nukem, Chinese Democracy type reason, lol). They probably could have rushed something out to meet the October deadline that would have probably been a pretty good game. But those extra six months, those extra guys working and bouncing new ideas off each other

=Genius.

It's why a game like this can still keep on kicking ass after so many little remixes/iterations from GTA3...and why a game like Tony Hawk sucks ass nowadays, lol

The idea that it was going to be a Vice City sized download came largely from a blogger who got a little carried away:

http://www.thebitbag.com/2008/02/23/setting-the-record-straight-on-gtaiv-dlc/

Rockstar hasn't announced what the additional downloadable content would be. Only that it's coming this fall.

I preordered the game for the 360 because of the extra content that is coming but the reviews are saying that the PS3 version is running better. I own both systems so calm down fanboys I just want to get the best one. Is the PS3 is going to eventually get the new content?
148046, nope says $50 million
Posted by L_O_Quent, Mon Apr-28-08 09:12 AM
148063, There will be exclusive content for 360
Posted by chillinCHiEF, Mon Apr-28-08 10:59 AM
There is no indication that the PS3 won't get any DLC, just that the 360 willhave some content that the PS3 will not.

I would think, and this is pure speculation, that because of PS3's surging sales in the US, PS3's dominance in Europe and Japan, the fact that the series is generally associated with the Playststion brand and the fact that it will be a pack in for Europe...well, I don't think R* would leave all that money on the table by not giving PS3 any downloadable content at all.

I own both as well and I'll get the PS3 version since it's technically superior. If the 360 DLC ends up being amazing, I can always trade my PS3 copy in for a used 360 copy.
148064, and...more FUD
Posted by Rjcc, Mon Apr-28-08 11:07 AM
THE PS3 IS TEH SURGING

it's not getting any dlc, period. there's absolutely no reason to believe it will, other than that you say so based on your own made up reasons.

Posted by Lach, Mon Apr-28-08 06:37 PM
they say that the PS3 and 360 version will both get downloadable content, but the 360 will get both the content the PS3 is getting plus that additional content the MS paid for. They also say the 360 version runs smoother, not the PS3 version. The PS3 version has just slightly shorter load times, slightly brighter colors, and a lil less tearing. They say it's hardly noticeable in terms of appearance, but the 360 version runs smoother than the PS3 version. With the additional content, the 360 version will be the route I go tonight.
148134, Basically
Posted by chillinCHiEF, Mon Apr-28-08 07:00 PM
>they say that the PS3 and 360 version will both get
>downloadable content, but the 360 will get both the content
>the PS3 is getting plus that additional content the MS paid
>for.

That's basically what I've been saying.

Since nobody knows what any of the content is gonna be, to me it doesn't make sense to worry about that right now.

>They also say the 360 version runs smoother, not the PS3
>version.

That's interesting. There's a huge post on neogaf comparing the two and there seem to be conflicting reports on which one has the better framerate.

It could very well be that the 360 does have the better framerate, but it's dependant on what model 360 you have. There why some widespread problems with Bully in terms of how it ran on the old chipsets vs the new falcons so I could see that being the case with this as well.

The lack of pop up and shorter load times are gonna have me getting the PS3 version (plus who knows when a RRoD could come...), but I didn't pre-order so I'll have to pick it up tomorrow.

people might hate but it won't be on the game style or play and as far as halo 3 i had issue with the reviewers overhype of it of things like the story line being oscar worthy etc. the overall game was solid but was no where near the bo derrick people said it was.

the store opens at ten but i need to be there early because it's while supplies last.
148165, Got it
Posted by chillinCHiEF, Mon Apr-28-08 11:26 PM
It's installing, which give me just enough time to make a snack and brag to you fuckers.

I kinda wish I pre-ordered for the limited edition. That shit looked pretty sweet. Hopefully it isn't too limited and they'll be selling it marked down like they're doing with the cat helmet Halos.

i was one...
first off, this game is the tits. After going rogue mid mission cuz i was high and distracted, I decided that a few thugs on the corner needed a knifing. After one of them came at me with a pistol, i disarmed him, and quickly killed his posse. After 5-8 minutes of running from the police with 3 stars, i seem to shake'em via a bridge walkway. I find a pack of people and slowly walk when all of a sudden flying up from the side of the bridge...2 Helicopters!
full stars and soon death.

AND..i car jacked this dude..he ran after and grabbed the car door handle..i drug him for a block, flailing... and he let go. like a frickin movie.

R*. smh. awesome.

I hit a tree in a car i jacked...flew out the window and REALISTICALLY hit the ground HARD and slid around and came to a stop leaving blood spatter behind me.

smh.

Sixaxis control of motorcycles and reloading.
You nod it and it reloads your weapon.
how gangster is that?
smh.
awesome.
one of the best uses for that useless tech.

the way he leans in the direction he walks in...he runs REALLY stiffly and funny. The jumping animation is very familiar...looks the same would never change that. Scaling obstacles is seamless. Jumping fences or barriers are intergrated well even in full sprint.

Multiplayer is sick.
You can jump right in at ANY TIME. You use your cell as a UI to hop right in, modify your appearance and play. It's really well done.

This is the game of the year.
Hell.

Posted by avillago, Tue Apr-29-08 10:16 PM
before I step out...a few comments on the game...


so far, a very fine tuned version of GTA...it is exactly that...a next gen version...everything is upgraded.

but, still feels like the same game, but more awkward in areas. Poor control walking around, fighting/punching/pushing is worse than before and is really poorly done....driving takes getting use to and missions rely too much on the phone....so far, the beginning is not as fun as San Andreas...lack of customization in areas that were there in previous versions. Liberty City is smaller than I anticipated. Music choices are so so...minus Primo and the Bob Marley station.

Still a fun game....these are just minor complaints of a superb game. I know there is still much more to come and multiplayer seem excellent...only if I could connect?!?!?!

I'm out!

148381, Indeed they do.
Posted by Auk_The_Blind, Wed Apr-30-08 12:55 AM
I bought a 360 and the game.
The 360 is a piece in itself, it's brand new, and already it's got issues just booting.
But every time I leave multiplayer, shit freezes on the loading screen.
And playing Cops & Crooks, if you play a round and then try to play another, it freezes when it loads up the game.
I don't know if that's just server overload or wack code, but it needs to be fixed.
148575, They need to patch a lot of shit on both versions
Posted by chillinCHiEF, Wed Apr-30-08 04:43 PM
I guess that's the problem with a game so big and with so much shit; somethings bound to not work right.

It took me a minute to realize, "oh this cat is drunk"!!! Driving home was way too realistic for my tastes. I was stumbling on the way to the bathrom!!!

http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/kotaku/full/~3/280240334/gta-iv-runs-at-630p-on-playstation-3-so-whats-that-mean

i'm sure it still looks good, but that's another slight L.

PS3 pros:
fewer pop-ins and shorter load times because of the installation.

360 pros:
HD resolution, slightly smoother frame rate, exclusive DLC, and xbox live integration.
148411, Considering every outlet has said the PS3 version looks better
Posted by chillinCHiEF, Wed Apr-30-08 09:05 AM
maybe they should have used 630p for that one, too.
148424, which outlets are these exactly?
Posted by IkeMoses, Wed Apr-30-08 09:58 AM
i've seen the PS3's being called "warmer" in places and blurry in others. it's nearly unanimous that the 360's version has more detail though, and i haven't seen one review say the PS3's looked better, and i've read a lot of them so far.

i can see one's taste preferring a softer look over a more detailed one, but the PS3's version cheated to achieve that effect.

i mean, i'm sure the visual difference would be hard to discern from the naked eye without a head-to-head, but if i were a PS3 owner i'd expect true HD from my games, particularly from a big ticket title like GTA IV which will definitely be the system's biggest game so far.
148433, RE: which outlets are these exactly?
Posted by Auk_The_Blind, Wed Apr-30-08 10:36 AM
>but the PS3's version cheated to achieve that

How is that cheating? They "improved" something at the expense of resolution.
The whole purpose of cheating is to achieve something through lesser means.

I mean, I got a 360, and shit looks dope.
Seems to me like Rockstar was being creative and tried to figure out a way to make the two versions have enough visual distinctions that it meant something for each respective console owner.

>if i
>were a PS3 owner i'd expect true HD from my games,
>particularly from a big ticket title like GTA IV which will

In all honesty, if you're busy fretting over the resolution a game instead of just saying "looks good" or "looks bad", you're a fucking tool.

>were a PS3 owner i'd expect true HD from my games,
>particularly from a big ticket title like GTA IV which will

Firstly, the phrase "true HD" is normally associated with 1080p, but besides that, there is no real agreed upon mark as to what resolution is "really" high def. Furthermore, the difference between 1080p and 720p is only noticable on the best TVs and to people who really know what to look for. The difference between 720p and 630p is even smaller than that.

On top of that, GTA4 is a third party game developed with 360 as the lead platform, and by most accounts the PS3 version plays and looks identical or better than the 360 version. It's not like it's Sony's big first person title missing the 720p mark...speaking of 630p, did you know Halo 3, the biggest first party game for the system, was the same resolution as PS3's GTA?

Yeah.

like i said, the naked eye prolly can't tell much of a difference, but there's still an aspect of false advertising going on.

i mean, i ain't no 360 fanboy, i plan on getting a ps3 when MGS drops (i choose a ps2 over an xbox too), so i ain't got no problem admitting that Halo 3 fucked up on that too (it's one of the many reasons COD4 is better). there's no reason the PS3 version ain't at least 720p tho. it has the power to handle it, and from what i can tell the blurriness doesn't flatter the PS3 version at all.
148621, Sharpness isn't just about resolution though
Posted by chillinCHiEF, Wed Apr-30-08 08:13 PM
The back of the box says the game supports 720p, 1080i and 1080p resolutions

Let's see what the experts, who have actually played both versions, have to say:

IGN:

"For those wanting to know which version looks better, *the edge goes to the PS3*. The textures and framerate are comparable, but the PS3 has far less pop-in. The 360 has richer colors, but the PS3 has *better anti-aliasing making it look a little cleaner*.

1UP:

"None of these little flaws take away from Liberty City's breathtaking vistas, incredibly varied scenery, and lived-in look (the *PS3 version has the slightest visual edge*, plus motion-control support"


If you only have a 360, it's not like you lose by having that version. I'm also not a fanboy, either. I own all the systems (DS and PSP too) and 360 was the only home console I got on launch day.

Posted by chillinCHiEF, Wed Apr-30-08 11:00 PM
I was just pointing out that 630p isn't making the PS3 version look worse or anything.

Posted by J_Stew, Wed Apr-30-08 07:08 AM
on our second date i quit the pool game early and she bitched about it. then when we were outside i popped someone in the back and she got all bent out of shape about it. i pulled the piece on this cat and he started running and said, "now you just took this to the next level" so i let one go in his back. then she tells me, "im tired of this bullshit niko, i'll find my own ride home" women, never happy with shit i tell you.

i did some crazy jumps with a motorcycle, i was going around the train tracks with it fast as hell, hit some sort of jump and caught about 10 seconds of air and actually landed it.

i actually like the driving physics, the walking around is a little awkard but oh well

Posted by chillinCHiEF, Wed Apr-30-08 05:31 PM
Saying Live Gold is great is kind of misleading though, since it's more or less the 360 firmware that makes that shit work. Live Gold is just you paying to play games online (and most don't have dedicated servers, which makes no sense). All that messaging, seeing what your friends are playing and sending invites is done through the blades in the 360's firmware.

PSN essentially offers the same functionality as far as being able to message and invite friends to games and see when they're on and offline (as well as what they're playing). The big difference is that without in game XMB to take advantage of it while you're playing a game, it's not going to seem as good as LIVE.

Once they do that (any day now...), it's pretty much the same thing.

Posted by WarriorPoet415, Wed Apr-30-08 02:48 PM
Keep the date a date.

Meaning, take her out (she mentions liking sports so try bowling again, or darts like I did) and then take her home.

If you're going on a crime/stab/kill spree and driving crazy during the date, that's probably why you're not getting any action.

She let me in on the second date.

in my experience adjusting your tv/game display settings to make night time look 'right' causes day time to look 'off'. it could just be my eyes/tv though

Multiplayer is fun once you get a hang of the controls.

OKPs need to organize so we can get together for some Cops n Crooks.

Posted by bearfield, Thu May-01-08 07:39 AM
there are times when this game doesn't really look that hot and there are times when it looks so damm good it completely blows your mind. times square @ night is a fine example of the latter. i'd go on about it but words can't do it justice

i think the first time you see it is during the first playboy x mission. my advice: WAIT BEFORE NIGHTFALL before you take that mission

got through the mission first try HAMMERED, and this morning remembered playing the game but could not remember one thing about what happened in the plot.

that being said this game is fantastic.
148733, Speaking of drunk.....

DO NOT get drunk in the game if you are drunk in real life. That shit will make you vomit faster than a 15 year old girl at the bar with Roger Clemens.

Posted by drugs, Thu May-01-08 01:51 PM
or is it just me? i'm used to COD4 load times where it takes less than a minute to start. i hate having to sit there and watch the opening art montage (the girl with the lollipop, gangsters playing cards, cops, etc.).
148748, 30 seconds is a long time to you?
Posted by jetblack, Thu May-01-08 02:24 PM
considering what has to load, i'd say that's pretty d@mn good..
148800, the load times are the same as COD4
Posted by HighVoltage, Thu May-01-08 04:27 PM
COD has the mission intro movies play while it loads to distract you.

and GTA is no longer than 30 second load time to start the game up.

WOW. Now Im really impressed. Times Square and Central Park look amazing. Went to Perseus and Modo and copped myself some fresh gear and one of those white M3 looking jawns with the black rims and picked Michelle up for a date. Bitch was talking about "What were you thinking when you got those clothes". I was thinking I look fly as fuck and I should get rid of those grimy immigrant clothes. I wanted to tell her to get out of the car right then. She still let me smash though.
148815, lol! The same thing happened to me!!
Posted by cskncream, Thu May-01-08 05:25 PM
I went to Pegasus (or whatever it is) and got a full outfit and shoes. She complained about everything I had on from head to toe EXCEPT these cheap glasses I got from the Russian shop. She said they "suited" me.

I've officially joined the I Wanna Kill Michelle Club.

I love how there's a "dump" option for her on the phone.

back to the brucie missions, then. i'm mad i skipped over these and went straight for the dukes and algonquin missions because these brucie missions are still tutorial missions and i really should have done them earlier :/. maybe now those ice princesses on love meet will respond positively to my requests...

*Just ignore replies that aren't from one of us.*

One of us gotta put our feets down.

No more unprovoked negative posts about any particular woman's looks, please.

Can we at least try? Let's be respectful. Wether she posts here or not. Seriously. Unless its some EXTREME case of whatever... let's leave it be. You think they don't get enough criticizm from each OTHER offline, let alone on a place that they come to for entertainment. You think they don't feel some kind of way when we talk ubershit about a woman that looks just like them? They obviously should be inclined, because most of the women we (as so-called men) talk down upon are usually just your typical black woman as she was created to be.

If they wanna tear each other down. Fuckit. Let em. Thats they shit, We should mind our own biz. And start actin like real men.

Shit thats how the fuck i feel about white posters gettin mad comfy and always gotta throw they 2 cents in the race talks (all i can think is shut the fuck up we're tired of your fuckin input. have been for quite some time. all you doin is pissin us the fuck off and cuttin ties. we already know how you insensitive bitches feel. we didn't care when we heard it the first time... sorry i'm gettin carried away..)

but i digest (c) geah

Let them do them. We gotta do a new us. That shit ain't cool.

Matter of fact post up some CURRENT pics of your mother before you criticize one of these women's looks.

Now when they say some stupid shit... GO ALL THE WAY IN!

When they wanna criticize you first? Speak your mind.

But unprovoked attack on someone for simply being ain't cool. At least not Men attacking Women. Hell crack jokes on each other like we been doin.

But as long as they keep makin me goodass sammiches Esco cares if don't nobody else care (c)

EDIT:

BTW I'm not talking about mild critique on someone soliciting it. I'm talkin about malicious/vicious attacks that are commonly bullshitted though to the boards as corny ass gay ass "jokes"
