Rockstar: GTAIV limited by 360...

The Xbox 360's lack of a guaranteed hard drive is creating limitations for the Rockstar team developing GTAIV for the Xbox 360, Rockstar Veep Dan Houser said in a recent interview with Official Playstation Magazine.

In the interview Houser was asked:

"On PS3 you've got a guarantee that every machine is going to have a hard-drive and, with Blu-ray, you've got plenty of storage, whereas on Xbox 360 there's no guarantee of a hard-drive and you're working with the DVD format. Does that create limitations?" To which he replied, "Yep." He continued, "To be honest with you we haven't solved all those riddles yet." The difficulties aren't limited to working on Microsoft's box, as Houser explains that "both have enormous challenges" and that "both have their own particular pleasures and pains".

As i suspected,the 360's limitations in both media format and lack of standard hdd is hampering a potential masterpiece.

ya, that last part of the paragraph really reads..."it's all xbox's fault"....contrary to what it actually says.

Who's to say the "pains" of ps3 aren't much more limiting than the lack of hdd's on about 2% of 360's?

The Official Playstation Magazine of the UK said it's 360's fault so it must be true.

GTA 3 was sill fun and it was on the PS2.

RE4 was a masterpiece, built off of the GC hardware.

The magazine did not say it,they just interviewed him.Jeez,hard to accept much? :roll: 

What is going to be funny when the game is released and it looks and runs great on both. Then all of these children will have to find another reason to cry.cjnwo4life

As if people need a reason? this is system wars,get used to it or go and find another forum,you are crying about crying? Yeah that helps :roll:

I don't understand your logic.

My logic? Erm... it was not me who said it,read the interview! 

they should just dump the x360 version and move forward.GermanShepard06

But the best graphics will be on the X360. Storage has nothing to do with graphics.

why would it be funny? thats exacly what is going to happen cuz they are not going to build two different engines for each console so the ps3 is going to be stuck with old-gen stuff cuz of x360.

pffftttttttt.

Stu,

Don't tell me to go somewhere else because my view differs from you. If you don't like what I have to say, skip it and I'll do the same! But I will post whatever I want, when I want  no matter what you think of it!

PS3 slow drive speed, crappy GPU and difficult processor are bigger issues then the ones mentioned for the 360.apolloluke

reading Ms Times much?

with the elite out and the 20GB PS3 no more, why is MS still making Core X360?xxThyLordxx

[QUOTE="GermanShepard06"]they should just dump the x360 version and move forward.PS3_3DO

But the best graphics will be on the X360. Storage has nothing to do with graphics.

thats because the engine is going to start off on the x360 and then ported to ps3.

Get it now?

but expect GTA4 to be the last game for x360, devs are going to move on with the future next-gen engines that x360 can only dream of.

Rockstar also mentioned difficulties with the PS3, but those weren't ellaborated on because of the mag it was in. And Xbox mag could pull the same thing these guys did, end of discussion.

there are no difficulties with the ps3, only when porting old-gen engines on a superior hardware that hates old-gen stuff. You see, they cant go backwards, they are not going to start building the engine for ps3 first cuz it wont be able to fit on the x360 disk, so they got to start on the smaller and weaker system.

Future ps3 games will hold 9 - 12 gigs just for physics and animation.

I guess MS could sell the HD-DVD add-on for games. They could sell it cheap and take a loss on it like Sony is doing now with Blu-Ray.

sure does suck that the 360 is limiting the game.. I guess we'll have to get used to it thoughejstrup

[QUOTE="ejstrup"]sure does suck that the 360 is limiting the game.. I guess we'll have to get used to it thoughdanneswegman

are we in denial?

as a person who has played every gta so far(because if so many people like it, I figure it has to be good right?) I have reached the conclusion that the GTA franchise is truly limited by SUCK.

GTA IS FOR CASUALS, GTFO MY INTERNETS AND GO PLAY SOME FOOTBALL (if it's raining, go play some madden)

stop talking about gta and start talking about good games :x

that is correct but who wants a downgraded game ;p

as I've stated before, GTA sucks and is for casual gamers who don't know what real games are.

please move on to a topic that matters (aka, good games)

I intend to get both the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game. But my primary version will be on the Playstation 3.

that is correct but who wants a downgraded game ;p
