Maybe Gamespy has some Xbox Live optimizations that devs can buy. I doubt it's the same thing as the PS3 version.

For what though? I mean I don't think it uses Gamespy, but I could be wrong.

Oh I see on the box where it says it uses Gamespy, but then again for what?

Xbox Live pretty much does chat and doubt it is using Gamespy servers for online play on Xbox so?

Forget that, I asked for answers! I really would like to know why gamespy hurts the ps3 version!
You sound like you have them with statements like that!

zero margin said it best. It was used in GTA4 for the PS3 and it was basically broken.

Sigh... well, at least they use Gamespy on the Xbox version as well.
Maybe things have improved with Gamespy's services on PS3...

Who a I kidding? :lol

=(

There isn't anything we can do about it anyway. But I will be so pissed off when this game turns out to be shit online, because it promises to provide one of the (if not the) best online experience my friends and I ever had.

Most the complaints I've seen in here about GS is due to the chat functions in previous PS3 games. I think someone listed a couple earlier. Borderlands I do remember. Someone may have mentioned lag as well not sure.

I'm willing to take a chance getting the ps3 version, if not, rockstar better have at least 5 pages reserved for me in the "I HATE YOU, YOU BETRAYED US AGAIN-Ps3" forum on their website.

Again:
• LAG.
• Bad voicechat-quality. Really bad.
• Many connection issues, even with an open NAT Type, partly resulting in:
• Shitty matchmaking.

This was the case with GTA IV on the PS3 at least.

Wait...so the GTA IV on Xbox 360 wasn't powered by Gamespy, but RDR is? Uh oh.

360 version is 720p 2xMSAA
We don't know about the PS3 version yet.
Click to expand...
Is there anything I can do to help determine the ps3 version's properties?

Package says 720p and so does the information reading on my display while playing.

The online looked pretty smooth when that french guy was playing, so I dont think we have much to worry about.

I just hope proximity chat is in for multiplayer. Always cool to hear when an enemy is near by.

Question about the PS3 version:
• How does inviting/joining friends work in multiplayer? Does it use standard PSN messages (like in Modern Warfare 2), which you can join instantly through the in-game XMB, or do we have to use a custom in-game menu for it?

Can you answer this, Magnus? :D

About this 360 version using gamespy, how does that work? Are there any other 360 games that have used gamespy in the past?

That seems kinda weird to me.

animation looks really stiff and unnatural in quite a few places.

your standard 360 features will work just fine since they're integrated into the OS even if the 360 version uses gamespy.

I know exactly what you mean. That video felt like a modern Oregon Trail. Fuck I can't believe I have to wait this one out a few more days. Damn Amazon trade in credit...I WANT TO PLAY THIS NONSENSE ASAP.

Well I just pre-ordered the PS3 version from Amazon. The strange thing was for whatever reason the 360 version offered release day shipping with amazon prime, but the PS3 version didn't. Going to go put my information into the PS3 list, send me some friend invites guys. I look forward joining a GAF posse soon!

it's a videogame. with a gigantic open world. it's not going to be 100% accurate..

this is like the last game that anyone should have complaints about animation... just having Euphoria in the game must have been a huge fucking pain in the ass to implement. and yet, people complain.

seriously just look at the big picture, the animations are fucking incredible overall! some inconsistencies here and there are unavoidable, because it's still not real life.

ooo when you walk slow with the horse like when he is going down to the river does it decide the path to go a little on its own or is it just entirely you 1-1 steering it with the analogue? that would be awesome
