GTA 4 PS3 vs 360

That's the biggest let down for me, paying £40(£25 for me) and only the top main games having dedicated servers(Halo 3, cod 4?) I'm sure GTA will, if not there is going to be a lot of angry people out there!
 
I'll never buy Microsoft DLC again so that negates any points about extra gameplay for me. I'm too tight to pay for Xbox Live again when I only used it about 3 times in the whole of last year. I don't want to end up with a scratched DVD. So it's PS3 for me, baby.

This confused me as well, actually these games DO NOT have dedicated servers, but they do use their own servers for the matchmaking (but once the matching is done the host is on of the team members). Makes the mony for the game/online sub seem even worse VFM.

I was quite surprised when someone told me that is how it worked as I suddenly realised a lot of games that I thought were with hosted server's weren't!!

360 for me, LIVE and my boy having more friends with 360 than PS3 who actually use a mic ingame, also larger userbase and the Downloadable content, i hear the PS3 will be getting downloadable content also and not this exclusive 360 stuff. Also hardly any install for PS3 users as a scan of the boxart revealed shows it requires a tiny 3340KB of HDD space and is concerning me meaning it'll be streaming from blu-ray disc.

anyway roll on release day

If there were dedicated servers you wouldn't hear nearly as much trash talking from Americans because they would no longer have the host advantage.

I'm hoping Sony will get their backsides into gear and make most of their games have dedicated servers then MS would be forced to do the same (I can dream :()

Sony first party games have dedicated server? :confused: That'll be why Resistance 2 will be 60 player online with 8 player co-op.

The space requirement on the back of the box isn't always an indication of how much is required by the game to install - for example the GT5 Prologue box says it needs 250kb HDD space minimum yet installs at around 6gb. Its up to the developer wether the figure is save game file size or the total amount of hard disc required.

I was talking about most games that will appear on PS3 not just Sony's first party. Sony's first party will make up a small percentage of all the PS3 games released, which wouldn't be enough for MS to take notice.

They should just ban P2P gaming period :p

Not sure how much that can be relied upon, from checking the back of my GT5 Prologue box it says HDD 250K needed.

Yeah i suppose, but still MS should be taking notice at least for their first party titles.

Wont argue against that :D
 
You make it sound like a serial killers ritual.

ive been waiting for this game for like over 4 years

GTA 3 the original was the only game i have played from start to finish and enjoyed every single part of it

the ones that came after it were crap

yes they added helicopters and other crap into them, but they never felt the same

san andreas was possibly the worst out of the lot having to excercise and eat, if i wanted to play the sims i would have bought it
 
Is there anyone else like me who doesn't really care about the DLC?

Being an owner of both consoles, I'll still be getting this for the PS3 as my Xbox is very loud and I prefer the DualShock controller.
 
OMG you guys have totally confused me now and i have just pre ordered ps3 version also

ill play both and if 1 is a lot better than the other then ill get rid of it, otherwise ill keep both since im sure my wee bro will wanna play it when im playing it, so he can use one console whilst i play on the other
