Re: Grand Theft Auto IV

"When popping the disc into the PS3 for the first time, you'll have a brief installation. Don't worry, it only takes ten minutes or so, and there's a pleasant bit of GTA history trivia to keep you occupied. So, unlike with Devil May Cry, you'll be able to eat your sandwich prior to playing the game. On the 360, this installation is optional if you have a hard drive. I advise to proceed with installation—it reduces the already minimal frame rate issues on the 360. When the game finally begins, you'll be treated to the best opening credit sequence I've seen for a game in a long, long time."

"It's also a bit disappointing that law enforcement actually spawns. The game would feel much more realistic if cops had to call for back up, and patrol cars would actually drive to your location from a few blocks away before joining the fun. But that's not how it works. A handful of cops will appear out of nowhere (on the 360, they actually pop-in if you didn't do the install)."

"Euphoria didn't do as much as I hoped. Let's face it, when you hit a pedestrian at 50 mph, they do one thing: fall. It may look different in slow motion, but when you're really doing it—when you're in the middle of the action—animations always feel the same. There are moments, though, where Euphoria will kick in and you'll say, “Awesome”. When you try to duplicate it, you won't be able to. This is where Euphoria shines. There will be one time moments of sheer bliss—and it's worth every second."

"There were a couple minor things about the controls that bugged me. I'll mention the single big thing: running. Tapping a button to run works well in theory, but I just know that the wear and tear on my controller has to be increasing exponentially."

"The PS3 has a more relaxed color pallet, but this gives everything a more realistic look."

"The PS3 takes longer to load than the 360, but I took several different head counts in game at different locations, and I always found the PS3 to be more populated than the 360. This could be attributed to the dynamic nature of the world, but it's hard to tell. Either way, the difference was never more than five to seven pedestrians or three to four cars—it's not really much of an advantage."

"The 360 also suffers from some frame rate drops that are almost non-existent on the PS3. Installing the 360 version on your system's hard drive, however, will bring performance almost up to par with the PS3."

"I know, you want details, but all I can confirm is split-screen on PS3 only."

"I can't conclude one way or the other why the split-screen mode was not available on 360, but I assume by the drop in on-screen objects on the PS3 that the 360 just couldn't handle it."


he gives it a 9.3/10

From what i gather 2 player split screen local which would be immense but i have trouble beleiving the article.

I can't conclude one way or the other why the split-screen mode was not available on 360, but I assume by the drop in on-screen objects on the PS3 that the 360 just couldn't handle it. If you own a 360, don't worry. You have Xbox Live…so you're set.

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV

The site being pulled means they broke an NDA agreement or its fake.
 
Re: Grand Theft Auto IV

You could tell its fake anyway because the guy was knocking the 360 at every opportunity
 
Re: Grand Theft Auto IV

Installation makes baby Jesus cry.

I think the review is fake anyway.

God I want the special edition one, doubt I'll be able to afford it though, bah. I think Will's going down to the shop that starts selling it at midnight when it's released, bless him. Trailing out at midnight just for a game eh, addicts are we?

Multiplayer looks honky tonk, I bet it's going to take over my life. :LOL:
