GTA4 should be the best that the devs can do and that is now with PS3, maybe at some later date they may do a PS2 version or maybe they have been doing one alone side the PS3 but haven't said anything about it who knows.Â
From what I've heard, the PS2 and PS3 have very different operating systems (correct me if I'm wrong on this). They wouldn't be able to simply use the code for GTA4 PS3 on the PS2, it'd take a LOT of reworking, almost like building it from scratch. Even barring that, the PS2 is, like it or not, dated hardware. There's just no way that a game designed for the most powerful next-gen console can be 'de-speced' to that level.
Besides which, I'd personally rather Rockstar spend their time and resources making more NEW games :)
Well if they make it right, then there will be no way in hell that it could ever happen because the game will be way too big. Maybe not big as in the place its at, but everything else. I'm hoping it goes the same way as Metal Gear Solid 4 is going as it needs the whole 50 gig blu-ray.
I don't want anymore good games to be put on the last gen systems. I want them to concentrate on next gen games. Not downgrade PS3 games just so they can also put it on the PS2. Can you tell I have a PS3? :)
For those of us who have moved up to PS3(myself included), I wouldn't want the game to be held back, so it could be ported down. Sorry, better yet just go get a PS3. It'll more than warrant a purchase by October.

GTA4 on PS2 is like asking for MGS2 on PS1. It ain't gonna happen unless they have been making a dumed down version for it this whole time. But with the PS2 being so dated, hard to program for, and having such a slow DVD drive, it'd be as bad the PS2 version of GTA:SA or worse. The PS2 couldn't render textures fast enough off the disc in SA, so it was crap at times compared to the XBOX&PC versions. Just get the XBOX 360 version then if you don't want a PS3.
