Howdie all Is it just me, or is anyone else nervous that the PS3 version of GTA4 will not be on par with its 360 counterpart. I not bringing the systems strengths or weakness's into play. I just want to ask everyone Who has seen the PS3 version in play? IGN, Gamespot, PSU everyone must be mythed why the PS3 version is yet to be displayed or previewed With GTA4 so close to release, there is only so much fanboy comments you can defend yourself from. Will PS3 GTA4 be a great or a the latest attempt for developers to mess up a PS3 multiplatform game? ______________ Add me on PSN

they won't be anything like that O_o...the new add-ons most likely are extra missions that have nothing to do with the story at all...

Don't know if the PS3 version will be equal to the Xbox360 but I assume Rockstar have pretty good devs so most probably both will be identical... Also seeing the huge hype surrounding GTA IV am sure Sony made all its possible to assist Rockstar so that they have all necessary tools to produce an excellent version of the game on PS3..

My hopes are high on this one !!!

"For the first time, Rockstar gave us hands-on access to both the PS3 and 360 versions of GTA IV. The good news is that no matter which system you prefer, you're going to have a great-looking game to play."

Look, everyone knows IGN, so go to IGN.com and take a look.

the new add-ons most likely are extra missions that have nothing to do with the story at all... CosmoKing7717

MS has said the expansions will be the equivalent of the Vice City and San Andreas "expansions" to GTA3. I'm not saying it's true, I just know what I read.

This crap has been blown way out of proportion.

Whatever the content is it will be negligable at BEST. There is no reason any developer EVER would make a massive/significant amount of content for one version of their game over the other unless there is a SPECIFIC technical reason for doing so.

If anything the ps3 version should be getting whatever this crap is since it has the capacity to contain vastly more data anyway but thats another argument altogether.

MS paid rockstar for this not because it was worth it but because THEY KNOW how stupid people are and that the average moron who buys gta4 is going to assume this exclusive content actually means anything when the most likely scenario is that it wont.
Thus they'll be under the impression that the 360 version will be better, simply because ms tell them so.

Personally I hate microsoft for this, not because I care about the content at all or what platform but for the simple fact they are exploiting consumers as usual and using sad underhanded dirty marketing AS USUAL to sell there **** xbox.

'We have the better machine cause we say so, we have better games cause we say so, we have better online cause we say so'.

People need to open there **** eyes, turn on there brains and wake up to reality. This game will be IDENTICAL on BOTH machines, the extra content MEANS NOTHING and you know what, I'd be willing to bet this supposed exclusive crap eventually comes out on psn for the ps3 version. Its all **** Total god damn ****

Fact is, the content will be significant. Out of the box they'll be the same. Though, if you're like me, you'd be in it for the games and opt for the extra content rather than trying to defend your fav console to save face somehow.

You can rest assured it will be nowhere near as big as the content on the 360, I personaly think this is unfair but 50million pretty much secures a spot at the top content-wise. It was been toted to be 'huge' but we'll see, keep in mind the huge sum of money MS paid for exclusivity.

I would not rule out the possibility of the PS3 getting significant content upgrades. In fact, I would be surprised if the PS3 version did not get this type of support. However, as kieran88 said above, MS dished out the big bucks for a reason. Now, whether or not the X360 exclusive content will be worth a damn is obviously unknown at this point. I think it's important to note that I'm only relaying information in the most unbiased way I can. There is no need to rant and curse and threaten Bill Gates' first-born (*ahem*Azuki*ahem*) in blind defense of a version of a game you've never laid eyes on.

Ok so so far I've heard a bunch of people say "they say its huge" or make other comments but can one of you provide a link to where it makes any hint about how big it will be?

The PS3 version will be superior because I'll be playing the game with the PS3 controller, just like the rest of the series was with a PS2 controller. The extra content will be minimal.

I would like to say something about these supposed vice city or SA expansions. If you look at the time it took to make each of those games, then to say there going to release pretty much an entirly new game in the fall as downloadable content, give me a break. The time constraints, the cost everything that would be needed is not covered by MS's 50 mil. it would not make good buisness sense to release an entirly new game, cause apparently thats what some of you think you're going to get, so soon after the release of GTA4.

And if it really is that big ur going to be paying for it, looking at $40-$50 for it, that would have to cover MS loss of 50 mill given to R* then the cost of R* making this content. it won't be worth it.

totally agree. If both version are the same (on release) why not buy the one that got extra stuff.

I highly doubt there will be any difference in game quality. For such a big name release it should be identical.

I wouldn't worry, as long as it's not half-a** job done like Orange box was.

Getting it for PS3. Extra content doesn't mean much in terms of a GTA game, it's still GTA. Extra content is only meaningful for RPG and FPS type of games in my opinion.

Various previews have hinted that the content would be huge, go look for yourself it's no secret. Anyway, it's not my words, i have no way of telling personaly.

Also, 2headedhawaiian, I agree that it's likely PS3 will get content, but I doubt it would be anything close to what 50million would secure. At the end of the day, it's a business ran by proffesionals, not fanboys who do things for free just to support a system.

Keep in mind you have absolutely no idea what the extra content will be. But if it's half as big as they are saying it WILL be significant, stop trying to somehow defend the ps3 because of this. Yes, I love my ps3, it has it's fair share of great games. But for GTA the 360 will eventualy offer the complete package, to think anything short of this after all we've been officialy told is just a testament to fanboyism.

Agree. Why not get the version where you will get more for your money? I definitely will be getting this one for the 360.

No, I don't know what the extra stuff will be. You know just as much as I do. I'm saying, because it's a GTA game, there will be plenty of stuff to do in the original game. I wasn't defending the PS3 either, I don't know where you got that notion in my statement. It sounds like you are praising the 360 version just because you get more of the same.

I think you're just trying to defend yourself here. I wasn't aiming the fanboy statement at you, I realise now reading it that it seemed that way, so sorry, I was meaning in general. also, if you've read my posts from the beginning, you'd see that I disagree with the exclusivity but people need to get it into their heads that it is infact exclusive and it will be significant. As for "the game has enough to do in it anyway" So did oblivion but it has the best DLC to date for any game. You can't just shrug it off because it's not the version you're getting and as far as "more of the same" I've been playing GTA since the first one came out, of course I want more of it - thats the point....

M$ is pathetic,,, they should be correcting their embarassment of a system with its hardware problems.

If you get the 360 version, youll get extra DLC which you will have to pay for, and youll have to always worry about your system breaking every time you turn it on

If you get the ps3 version you get an already huge game, and a system that will be able to handle it. $50M is not nearly as much money as you guys think (R* turned down $2B from EA)

Hi Guys Id firstly like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has had their say on this topic. I didn't expect such a huge response. Id just like to add, This 'huge' content that will be for 360 Its gonna be limited to Xbox's only with a HDD big enough, 2gb max. Or so i personal believe (not a fact) Im still looking forward to this game and i also think that although we wont get 'exclusive' content, we will get our extra DLC However this content will be avaliable to the 360 too. Keep the posts coming. Do you think that either system has limited the game?

I just listned to the 1up yours podcast and one of them said they went for a test play of the ps3 and 360 version and he said they are identical except the 360 version apparantly has slightly better textures, but the framerate appears to be exactly the same. But its not that much of a big deal.

Edit Sorry where i currently am, the edit button does not work After reading the N4G Link (further up the page) The downloadable content will be 360 only, So giving that the source is offical, GTA4 for the PS3 will be the standalone product whereas the 360 version will be paved with expansions on a 'huge' scale Hopfully R* have not got greedy and wont ditch any effort for the non $30,000 paying company/ console
