It's not too surprising. While some ports have turned out bad on the PS3, this was one port that Sony wasn't going to allow that to happen to.

Save your breath until the launch, mr. Formal. :)







Hopefully you are correct though.

Are you daft? There's a hell of a lot of xbots and ntards on these boards too, you're just noticing the SDF here more because they keep bickering about the DLC.

There have always been more Sony fans on GAF than the others.

We knew Ps3 would get DLC too. But who cares about your minor and standard DLC, when we are talking about major DLC like episodes? That's what the Ps3 isn't getting.

Train crew has fixed the track! Is someone keeping an updated list of all the tracks known to be in the game so far? Also, have they said anything further about the phone playing music while on foot? I just want to make sure it doesn't play over stuff.

It's like that, "Don't point at crocodiles", topic over in the OT.

That's good news right there. :D

Wait, I know that you can get mugged in the game, but was there any confirmation about being carjacked? Or having your car stolen?

Holy shit Bish. I came in this thread pissed cause I didn't have internet access all day. Now that I see the heads rolling I'm glad I missed the fun. I hate the console war bullshit, but had I been sucked into it I would be gone, and I don't know if I could handle it this close to launch :lol

I love that "Captain Morgan" reference when talking about how intricate Euphoria is. No more stepping through hollow bodies! I'm going to kill people in close enough proximity to make a little human bridge. So awesome.

The multi-player will probably be awesome with all the secrecy. I cannot believe this game comes out next month, next month. NEXT MONTH!!!

I'm infinitely hyped for the rumored cops and robbers mode. Just thinking about the possibilities makes me moist.

Gah! That was a close one. *wipes off brow*

Does anyone else really loathe the way Rockstar promotes their GTA games? How I'd love some actual gameplay footage and some detailed multiplayer impressions, but they string us along until release.

Definitely builds hype and works well for their marketing, but I'm still sad. :(

9/10 NeoGAFfers don't understand statistics. The other 3/10 don't care.
I am glad they do that, far too often do devs spoil allot of the good parts of their games with previews ect.

I know you can choose not to read them, but god damn its hard not too.

Still 2 months to go. A lot can be revealed.

I am basically staying away from the GTA 4 hype train though, i kinda ruined SA for myself by over-indulging in videos and previews and such.

Although i did pick up VCS for the ps2 today, figured i would just get the last GTA out of the way before 4 hits. i got it on PSP last year, but just couldn't seem to get more than an hour into it before the small screen killing it for me.

It can be annoying, but on the other hand it's one of the few big games where even if you follow it closely you're still surprised at what you see in the game because they don't reveal a whole lot about it.

This has nothing to do with console wars BS (don't ban me!) but one big advantage GTA4 has on the PS3 is that there isn't a good current-gen sandbox yet on the system. It's got Spiderman 3, which blows, and Assassin's Creed, which is fun but too flawed and structured to compete, and that's about it. It'll be nice to play a real sandbox with physics and stuff.

Oh God! :lol My bro is playing COD4 as i laugh at this :lol

Too bad they weren't equipped with faster sprint or RPG! :lol


That said, I welcome GTA4 to both 360 and PS3 (Bro buying for 360 while I'll buy for PS3 in near future). Why two? Because only one of us can play if there's only one disc -_-

Wow, a whole day's worth of this DLC system wars? I thought I made it clear before that this was for discussion of the game, not waving your e-peens. It's been made clear that MS has paid for exclusive DLC and the 360 will get it in August. Period, end of story.

Until a press release detailing any additional DLC content comes out from one of the principals, the next person to shit up this thread with who is/isn't getting what gets 3 months of time on the pine.

The next person after that? 6 months. And so on.

Go here if you want to browbeat each other about DLC.

Now, back to those beautiful, beautiful screens.

Is it possible to say how long their absence will be?

Anyways,
was down at EB Melbourne Central today, the store was almost hidden behind a wall of GTA4 posters.
