We can only use one character at the start and the other two open up according to the previews and Trevor is probably not the one we start with, I'm guessing Michael since he was most featured and judging by the trailers the one that brings them together. Gonna have to go through probably a couple hours first.

PS3. Performance is alright, but can't really hold steady 30fps. Doesn't really surprises me, seeing what they did on a hardware from 2005. But its playable, much better than saints row or gta4 in terms of performance.

I guess the time has come to see if Fox News has learned anything from the Mass Effect Sexbox 360 and Call of Duty segment embarassments (hint: they probably haven't).

Lol, I fixed it. I knew it looked weird when I typed it.
Anyway, that tiny glimpse was enough to make my hype-level skyrocket.

Good, time for abit of banging and full on nudity in video games.
If films can have it so can games.
Don't want little Jimmy to see a little Jimmy don't buy him an adults game.
from spoiler thread, 360 also has framerate drops
I believe both versions are almost identical, to a point, where it flat out just doesn't matters which you play.

It's GTA I've accepted this awhile ago.

Picked up my copy in LA about 3 hours ago. I have put about 90 minutes into it so far. I am liking the game so far I must say, judging by the Xbox videos I have seen compared to playing the PS3 version I wish I had gotten it on 360 (the store was not selling 360 versions yet). I am getting a lot of slow down on the PS3 version with dips into what seems like 18 - 20 fps fairly regularly. If you have both systems, at this point I would suggest the 360 version.

Someone was claiming that PS3 phat play it drops to 20 sometimes in-city driving (haven't watched a high quality PS3 slim stream so I'm sure it's just the old hardware).
So far I haven't seen a drop that drastic in the 360 version in-city, but there is definitely the occasional framerate stutter to 25 when coming into a new area or swinging your camera quickly to reveal a more populated environment.
Both versions have about the same amount of pop-in.
In any case they're pretty much dead even, I wouldn't beat yourself up about deciding on which version to get - choose friends/controller as the deciding factor.

A-a-anybody got a word on the cheats? I love to lock out the cops sometimes and just do things my way.

Huh? Is this a guess? Please no fucking spoilers
I played 3 hours last night and for some reason am too awed this morning to even continue just yet.
So thoughts so far:
* Makes GTAIV look like shit. I'll never be able to play it again. It really does feel like next-gen and the graphics I never expected from a GTA game. The main thing isn't the graphics though it's the story, dialogue, writing, missions, ui, shooting etc.
* Seamless cutscene transitions are amazing, they add so much to the experience but with something so subtle.
* The missions have all been crazy so far. Nothing boring where you simply drive from A to B and pick some guy up, no this is exciting and definitely you can't put the controller down once you start.
* The character switching is fun and makes everything feel even more fast-paced. It's like a JRPG party but real time action instead!
*All of those fucking radio stations. There must be like 20 or something.
*I actually care about the characters, first time in a GTA game. Story is great.
*Didn't see that intro coming by a longshot!
Another thing I noted is when the game gave an info. box about the random encounters. It said: "Events will happen all over San Andreas!" Of course technically the countryside portions of the game are San Andreas, but who knows, who knows.

Shame to hear the claims of "rock solid 30" from the first few streams are now being debunked.
It's not surprising, but it is a bit disappointing. Whilst it won't ruin the experience, I'm sure it will taint it a bit. Let's hope the PC version isn't more than a few months out!

Yeah, you're fine. Thank you for the impressions. The game sounds amazing.
I mentioned this in the other thread, but for anyone who was worried about unskippable cutscenes, have no fear. Saw someone this morning skip a bunch on a stream to avoid spoilers. Still has the slick Max Payne 3 transitions, but you no longer get that "STILL LOADING" message when you try to skip something.
Your comment isn't officially released by Rockstar. Stop it.
In all seriousness tho, it's an OPINION, and by no means a spoiler. He isn't detailing anything at all. "Story is awesome" is not a spoiler. "The mission where Micheal shoots the cop in the foot is awesome" however is (just made up). There is a very obvious difference here. Also, Rockstar won't release opinions lol.
