Well that's what we've been hearing for months from Sony fans while others were saying it was due to the PS3.

Well here Barrera confirms what the problem was:

I swear the PS3 always tries to kill a multiplat game but I'm so glad that the 360 brings life into these games.

Well, wasnt it obvious? Either way, the 360 version didnt look ready last year at e3 anyway. Still, it was funny hearing cows say things like rockstar showed the 360 version because microsoft payed them to. Truth be told, microsoft only loaned money to rockstar, they have to make that money back by selling extra dlc for the 360 version.

The exact same game is releasing on the same day for both platforms.

DLC isn't too important to me, so I'm excited for the PS3 version.

I think he said: I hope it wasn't built for the 360 and then ported to the PS3. I think he'd rather each system was built from the ground up.

Ahhh, now why couldn't he have said it as clear as you did? Is it too much to beg for some proper grammar around here?

Yeah, no kidding. The PS3 has been know for having a lot of delays, so this wasn't a surprise. Haze just got delayed again and Fronlines was cancelled.

WOW! The ps3 is hard to program for? Just like the ps2? Never saw that coming.

It takes time for a company to optimize on a new platform, programming for M$ is bound to be easier, since windows is rather program friendly...

Realistically, I don't care, as long as good games come out and my machine doesn't break, I'm happy with my ps3 :D

It's harder to program on a MAC than a PC, and which has better hardware exactly? Ask industry professionals.

so, how does it being harder to program on eliminate it from the super computer catagory?

Not the point, the point I was making, was this guy was saying the ps3 must suck because it is harder to program for, and I was pointing out a real situation to indicate that being difficult to program for means nothing towards the quality of the machine.

Ah Well yes the PS3 doesnt suck when it comes to hardware, though it is hard to program for. Something sony didnt think about when making the cell.

I think th reason lemmings like to hate on the PS3s Hardware any chance they get is because Cows a while ago kept thinking it was going to blow the 360 away and saying it was 2wice as powerful

go7400

It is more powerful for sure,

and it doesn't have the massive hardware failure rate,

and like you said, it's harder to program for,

took them years to optimize on the ps2, I expect the same for the ps3,

once companies learn to optimize on it, I assume due to the drive basis, that it will deliver and even better experience than it currently does...

And yes, I am a former 360 owner that had 3 machines crap out, so, I am a bit jaded.

You guys are so damn lame. It's a constant blame game, and then you all jump on board and start screaming that it's the other consoles fault, so it must suck or something.

preach brotha preach!!!

anyways i totaly agree. nowadays with such feirce competition between sony and MS to put great games outhere, some Devs alienate a user base because of money and rush a crappy product *cough cough EA.... its great to see a DEV hold off mass production of a game because of a few flaws so both 360 and ps3 fanebase could enjoy at once. Saying both are IDENTICAL for the ps3 and 360 is great news, especially from A DEV himself.

imagine that, if the Flopstation3 didnt existed we could be playing GTA4 right now....sigh.Unreal_393

no you wouldn't the game was never ready whether rockstar tells you so or not. they basically only admitted they had problems wiht the ps3 version. use some common sense. any videos shown back before october 07 (first release date) looked really bad and had a horrible framerate almost unplayable. and even the recent trailer shows a terrible framerate.

PS3 version was always behind 360 version according to that article.

So ? They could have still released the 360 version first and then release the PS3 version whenever it was finished.

So, to sum it up easily, whenever it's a 360 problems cows love to ramble on and talk about it. Whenever it's a PS3 problem, cows just want to move on.

And once again, more missions = more gameplay = superior version...

No, Rock* is contractually obligated to release both at the same time. 360 would have crushed PS3 if that happened...

They didn't mind having previous GTA games be time exclusives before.
