So what, PS3 will have it's own exclusive DLC. Rockstar already said so.

Yeah but the PS3 version won't have custom soundtracks, rumble, and achievments, and ability to voice chat with friends while playing.

And PS3 will have trophies:P

X360 / PS3 

achievements / trophies - (only apply to the gamers that even care about them)

rumble / tilt (tilt is fun for driving, rumble is rumble .. personal preference, also PS3 could have rumble by then.)

downloadable content (both systems have their own content)

graphics ( most multiplat games look only slightly better on or system or the other, so this really doesn't matter)

online (xbl vs. psn, thats is optional and again FREE online wins IMO.)

and the simple fact is, both X360 and PS3 will get the gimped version when compared to the PC version.

Sony gets exclusive content as well and im not so sure the DLC wont come with the PS3 version to begin with since it has BR it can hold it.

I agree with most of everything you say untill the end.  The pc version ?  Um theres not even once annoucned yet and when it does come to pc will already be on GTA5 who cares about the pc version.

Wouldn't the PS3 version be better since it's a more powerful system? There weren't many multiplatform games last gen that were better on ps2 than xbox.

I just added that in for fun... but theres going to be a pc version (as always), and if you've ever played the user made content really makes the difference and puts the pc version over the consoles (like most pc games).

If the game has a strong modding community to begin with I actually prefred GTA on cosoles though because there great games for the time and when they come to pc theres not enough there to warrant buying the game again.

[QUOTE="111v"][QUOTE="Tony-Baxter"]The video we saw was from the X360.insomnia37

i hate it when people just make assumptions without a link showing that the ps3 version will be inferior.

I agree, i notice that a lot with lemmings. This is actually the second topic where someone already assumes the 360 version will be better, and this is only after a short trailer was released.

buddy it's not just lemmings that do that...have you seen all the threads by cows that say GTA4 will be downgraded because of the 360?

[QUOTE="vauba_haoly"]The new Game Informer that came Today says the downloadable content is exclusive to the 360 and there was no mention of any other downloadable content for the PS3.asdasd

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3154462

"When Microsoft announced that GTA IV would have exclusive, episodic content at X06, we wondered if that meant that the PS3 version of the game would have its own exclusive content. Eurogamer reports that an unnamed Rockstar North employee told the news outlet that PS3 owners could expect some exclusive downloadable content of their own. "

Now what?

The newer magazine confirmed that downloadable content is exclusive to 360.  That 1up article you quoted is older and presented only as a rumor.  Go back and take a look at the question mark at the end of title and the developer not commenting on the rumor at the end of the article.  Now look at the new Game Informer and the developer confirming 360 exclusivity.

Who says? Also, Home will require trophies for all games released from there on out, and that will include GTA4. You cannot prove any of the crap you just spat out, except maybe no rumble in the PS3 version, which could very likely change if Sony releases a rumble-enabled Sixaxis. Do not spout off garbage lies just because you want them to be true.

PS3 as of right now has no announced way of playing custom soundtracks in any game out of the box.  FACT

PS3 has no announced rumble contoller as of right now.  FACT

No one knows if the whole trophies thing will be a hit yet.

And nope no voice chat in game as of right now.

 

Everything I said was FACT. 

What voice chat? There is no online for this game...

Why would they not wanna release DLC on the system that is HDD standard? Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

I wonder if the PS3 version will require a portion of the game to be installed to the hard drive so it can stream the data fast enough, like with Oblivion.

Actually, both are getting DLC, no word yet if they are the same or both unique, or one includes the other.

I don't know why, possibly an exclusivity contract with Microsoft.  But regardless of why, that's what they said in the magazine.

And PS3 owners wont have to pay for stuff that should be in the game since everything is free, but as usual Lemmings will have these "Bundles" for 10$ you can buy for the game..

everytime someone says the ps3 version will have exclusive content..they never post the article confirming it.. so my question to you is do you have a link stating the ps3 would will have exclusive content like the 360 version.

 Who the hell cares? The basic game is the same. I could say the 360 version won't have tilt control, home trophies, or HDD caching, but you wouldn't care at all about those features just as much as I don't care about 360's pointless chat and soundtrack crap.

Now what?

That's supposed to be 100% confirmation?? :lol:

100% is when Rockstar or Sony confirm DLC for the PS3 version,  not Eurogamer citing unnamed sources...
