GTA 4: Rebuilt from the Ground Up
The next GTA game is going to look really good. Actually, maybe that should be feel really good. It's a no-brainer that on the most powerful games console yet, one of our favorite series will have better graphics. But, base on developer Rockstar North's technical research, GTA4 will be more about immersion than just mere eye candy.
Rockstar North is creating a specialized game engine for PS3 that will bring GTA 4 to life to a degree that the PS2 games could only hint at. Speciafially, they're going to be using the high data transfer bandwidth of the Cell CPU, RSX GPU, and Blu-ray Disc to use several streams of game info simultaneously. The game's city- unfortunately yet to be even hinted at- will still be free roaming and seamless, but broken down into smaller, more deatailed areas at the engine level, into which the game designers are going to eb able to pour more textures, more oject variety, and tons of details (such as discareded soda cans with their own physics), just for starters. The goal is a city that's less repetitive and where everything - and everyone- looks and acts mroe like they would in the real world on every level.
MGS 4 Becomes a War Zone
One source has described the game to PSM as "a cross between Rambo and Black Hawk Down," with Solid Snake plunged into the middle of a high-intesntiy urban war zone where artillery is taking out cover all aroudn him and AI controlled "sidekicks" fight alongside him as if they were actual human-controlled characters. The new 3D camera will paly a big role in surviving the fight quarters and constantly changing cover.

TGS is going to be awesome.
can I also get paid to make up shit like this?
Wollan said:I don't believe this fake article at all.
90% of this stuff will turn out to be true but it's all due to carefull studying of info already out there.
Calidor said:Holy shit, PS3 is a monster :lol
Ben Sones said:It is like a monster, in that everything that we known about it comes secondhand via rumors and legends that are probably all made up.
I mean, WTF? People are all up in arms about the "Xbox3DO," but someone posts some vague and unsubstantiated stuff about the PS3 and suddenly people are like "OMG teh next gen is HERE" and "$500 seems reasonable," even though we still haven't seen any real games on it, or have any solid information about the final hardware. I'm not saying it won't be impressive, because I have no way of knowing. But I'd like to see a bit more (or anything at all, even) firsthand before I get impressed.
People sure apply their skepticism selectively around here.

Azrael said:I don't think Sony will charge subscription fees. From what can be pieced together, the PS3 will have a uniform online interface like Live for things like login, friends list and messaging. However, unlike Live, Sony's not going to provide the infrastructure, and publishers will be responsible for running their own servers for online games. How they pay for it will be up to them. MMOs will have fees, and at least some 3rd parties like EA will surely charge fees to play their games online on PS3. Others won't charge online gaming fees, but will try to make their money back through microtransactions for content downloads, and from increased sales for having online play.
Nintendo I believe will offer a closed service like X-Box Live but make it free, figuring that there are enough fanboys out there who will pay $20 to download Famicom and Gameboy games to pay for it.

PSM's information came from developers. Some on the record, some off.
....particularly when it comes to ease of development for the system: how it compares to PS2, and more importantly, Xbox 360. "The *****ing this round sounds opposite of the last. Both are friendly, but the PS3 may actually be friendlier," reports one of out PS2 and Xbox 360 development sources, who wished to remain anonymous. "People are finding that the [xbox] 360 has some stupid bottlenecks."
The latest on PS3's power
"Once we have final hardware for both next-gen systems, we'll have a much better idea of how they caompare, but the general consensus right now is that the PS3 is considerably more powerful than the X360 across the board," said another source. "It's important to get a good idea of which is the most powerful soon, since multi-platform games will need to be either ported down from PS3 to 360 or vice-versa."
Madden NFL football developer Tiburon has had PS3 dev hardware longer than almost any other U.S. developer. Rockstar North has had stable kits since at least August 2005.

Believe it or not?
Are the graphics in Sony's E3 game trailers really what PS3 games will look like, or were they just tyring to steal the competition's thunder? Well, the turth is, it's mostly the former with a little bit of the latter mixed in.
The most questions have been raised about the validity of the Killzone PS3 "footage." Most observers were quick to call it pre-rendered CG. Hawk-eyed online chatters found evidence of polygon clipping and other hallmarks of real game footage in frame-by-frame sleuthing. One of our sources has this take: "They will get close to that [the E3 footage], but you will notice that it will simply feel different and some things will not look as good,' they said. However, they were quick to point out: "That was on hardware kicking out frames every five seconds; it was a guestimate to promised perforance. I am sure it is running great now on the lastes dev kit with some sacrifice to the final quality."

Amir0x said:Hm. LOL @ "PSP WTF?" on the cover. It's been a while since I got a subscription for PSM during the PSX days, but man it sure has come a long way. A long way to crap.
No matter, I guess it's true.
Which means... either PSM has got this info wrong, or they didn't. But I doubt very much that they'd get a story as big as GTA4 on PS3 with such and such engine wrong. DCharlie seems to disagree. You seem to disagree with DCharlie. Who do I believe?
Izzy said:Now that we know the info is true, let's take a look at the most interesting bits, again:
Doube D said:LOL. Dcharlie disagrees with about every other positive ps3 news and tries to conjure up doubt by making statements like "can't wait to see reactions at E3, TGS....
gofreak said:No we don't. We only know PSM reported it. PSM reports and the truth aren't necessarily one and the same
Unless you want to confirm some things yourself..![]()
gofreak said:No we don't. We only know PSM reported it. PSM reports and the truth aren't necessarily one and the same
Unless you want to confirm some things yourself..![]()
Doube D said:LOL. Dcharlie disagrees with about every other positive ps3 news and tries to conjure up doubt by making statements like "can't wait to see reactions at E3, TGS.... You guys just wait and see, the real next gen block busters have yet to be determined He also veils his obvious MS bias by stopping himself short of praising MS, just continuously doubting sony. Oh and dont' froget he buys all the systems which to him = no bias lol. Get real man, I own the ps2 and the xbox... but im sure as hell honest about being in the sony camp
He sings the same monotone tune all the time. Ignore.![]()
Gaijin To Ronin said:Nice... how will be PS3 Castlevania? do you think Igarashi is managing this?
Amir0x said:Don't slander DCharlie, man. He may prefer MS systems, but he's truthful and good people. I think Izzy is cool too, and I believe him too. So it's a matter of sources - one is right, one is wrong. These people are cool, though.
Izzy said:I gave you a huge hint for one game in this thread alone.![]()
Doube D said:It's a hell of a lot more confirmation than anything on ign, gamespot, 1up, or GA itself. So if you aren't going to take what they say as confirmation, then you should also consider everything else reported by these internet sites as vapor ware.
Elios83 said:I also have the impression that Dcharlie is more about what he'd like than what he knows.
jett said:I've been saying for quite a while not. The sad thing is he doesn't consider himself to be a fanboy.
Zer0 said:in the past dc charlie was a everythingsony hataz,thats is what i remember some time ago,but now he is more "civilized" :lol
by the way ,who is the guy on dccharlie avatar´s?

It looks to be true.
mrklaw said:DCharlie doesn't hate Sony. He's been burnt by their stuff recently, but thats about it.
He just wants a good strong fight, and for companies to not fuck up royally. He's clearly fed up with Sony winning so strongly and yet still making mistakes.
Maybe MS can make Sony sharpen their act? Who knows.
holy shit. i hope SH5 turns out to be as good as the first three. 4 sucked, although the soundtrack rocks. i'm listening to it right now.Wollan said:The developers said that the plot in SH5 was what was supposed to be SH3 but they delayed it due to some fans demanding continuation on SH1. They also said it was the most nasty and barrier braking of them all.
Now in PS3 graphics.![]()
