This doesn't really make sense, considering there wasn't an Xbox when GTA3 was in development. Also, GTA3 didn't push the limits for the PS2. metalmonkey268
of course there was. they undoubtedly had dev kits long before the Xbox came out. try again.Â
PS2 and Xbox used the same format. The Xbox's advantage of its HDD would help for loading but this gen according to rockstar its the media format that they are feeling limited by.Â

But its true, GTA3 and Vice City didnt push the PS2s hardware. They are complaining about whats available standard and the media format being used.Â

Except unlike GTA4, there was no plan to put GTA3 on another platform until well after it was released. They didn't have to cut corners or limit the game because that's the way it was originally supposed to be. Â

 That GTA3 would have been better if it had been developed from the ground up for XBOX instead of PS2. The reason they didn't? The number of PS2s in peoples homes was much higher than XBOXes. Now we see the same scenario, except reversed.

and how exactly do you know it would have been so much better

I'm going to pretend that you're only kidding about that, BUT, I'll still answer it.

GTA4 isn't being built from the ground up on anyone console though. You make it sound like they're making it for one, then porting it to the other. You're scenario doesn't work out when compared to how people see the 360 GTA4 vs. PS3 GTA4.
I can understand your view on the other topic, but this isn't a hole lot better. The GTA series thrived this last gen mostly because of PS2. So, if anything, PS2 helped the franchise.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, yeah, it did help the franchise, but because of how many PS2s were in peoples homes, not because of it's AWESOME processing power.
I agree... the graphics could have been so much better... the city so much bigger... so many more cars and pedestrians... so much more music fitting onto the DVD9 of the Xbox. Thank you PS2 and your gimped single layer DVD for destroying GTA III.
PS2 didn't destroy GTA3 at all.... you really think they would of made it any much better if it was on the XBOX? If they wearnt using most of PS2s power in the first place to make GTA3.. what makes you think it would of been any better on the xbox?
OMFGBBQPWND you got Toxin as your avatar! :D Also, how is the PS3 limiting GTAIV? jachichorro
IIRC, the same article that claims the 360 is limiting GTAIV also claims that the PS3's Bluray drive speed affects the loading times in the game as well.
go visit the "thanks microsoft for ruining GT4" thread.
well i think ps2 ruined gta.. after gta 3 they made like 4 other gta games that was pretty much the same thing but u were ona nother city.thats not really sonys fault its more thq for making gta stail.

And GTAIV pushes the limits of the 360? Where do you cows pull these facts from?Â

And yes, Toxin pwns.
Teh evil bluray. I want to see console makers drop these silly disks, DVDs, blurays whatever and start using something more practical like flash cards (hopefully big and cheap enough for next gen) or digital distribution.
On a side note, I'm not very fond of the symbiotes, but Toxin is by far the coolest looking from them all.Â
yeah... but maybe gta4 has spoiled potential, maybe not? it seems that the only limited potential by dvd9 and no hdd is just that we'll get a smaller city. so what? liberty city is plenty big, have you forgotten? the only thing anyone can realistically ***** about at this point is that we're not getting a new city.
