A serious GTA question...

[Xarea]

I don't really care much for gaming, but i've loved all the GTA series, I always play every game (near enough) on PS2, but I always wondered:

Why is GTA VI only coming out on Xbox 360 and PS3?

I know that PS2 is almost like "old news", but I know of so many people who don't really feel like splashing out 200 odd quid for a console, just to play some game.

Pah, anyone know? Is it technical aspects? Or them just being tight?

[Jordy]

I don't think it's down to spec's really much, third generation console's can handle large detail much better, and they also are HD which the PS2 isn't. Online play is also a issue as the PS2 can't really use online gaming like the PS3 and PSP can as it doesn't use the Playstation network system.

All in all it's just they want to keep it on the current consoles and so that you buy them.

You can get brand new Xbox's for about £140 these days so it's all coming down, and if you look in pre-owned sections or on eBay, you'll make huge savings.

ill guess that The 360 and ps3 Graphics are so good that it would make the game look crappy on the other consoles.

[lew!]

but which is better..
xbox360 or ps3?

[Breakfloor]

everybody i know who has played both agrees that they dont like either better than the other.

i honestly prefer a 360. not because i own it as that doesnt make a difference. it just feels better and is more fun.

There isn't a better console in its self, you can have as much evidence to back your opinion on whatever console you like, won't make it true though, even if you think you are right.

I could say 'ps3 is better because you don't pay for online'

and I do think that, and many more features, but im not gonna get into any arguements, because its kinda sad to argue what console is better.

Third gen? my friend, we're in the seventh generation of gaming.

Because as grpahics advance, they leave consoles behind. San Adreas was some of the best graphics for ps2, another GTA ps2 would basically be the same as SA.

[mangle]

I don't think the PS2 could handle the sheer size of it. That and the saves are way bigger than the av mem card I think.

i agree. im not saying either is better but i PREFERthe 360

[Niko Bellic]

PS2 can't handle the graphics as well as these new gen consoles can.

The PS3 & xBox have better Graphics (Well PS3 does).

A PS3 is more for hardcore gameing :P

Xbox 360 fill both of them forms more. Mr.Fanboy. And you're telling me Xbox 360 isn't for "hardcore gamers"? Please.. :rolleyes:

[GommeInc]

Both are for hardcore gamers really... PS3 is probably a little bit ahead with the power behind it, but they both sit under hardcore gaming, because they both play hardcore games.

PS3 was built for hardcore gaming
Xbox was built because Microsoft are a **** of a company.

Are you using Vista?

And you do know Sony actually steal ideas from Microsoft. In the Haze studios where they are developing the game they actually have a few Xbox 360's that they play. :rolleyes:

And if Microsoft suck how did we get that many sales that we have? :D

Fan boy alert. [/Jack120]

Yeah, real good argument there. Are you seriously stupid?

[Niko Bellic]

Yeah, real good argument there. Are you seriously stupid?

You are todays winner. :D

[Arfs]

Obviously not as stupid as you.

[Oleh]

but which is better..
xbox360 or ps3?

People will come at you with biased opinions but me ill give honest:

Id say x360 as you have many things ps3 hasnt such as : in-game chat(private) ,you can view whose online in the game and read messages ingame the online is much better as the voice chat is used by 99.8% of live users my expieriance on the ps3 suggests only around 40% use it as i had somewhat 50 matches on cod4 and ut3 and both of them i had around 3 people out of 10 use microphones (all random matches not the same one twice) ps3 may have a bigger hard drive and graphics capabilities and even disc space but the xbox will always be top dog for online play and user friendly-ness


Yes you may think this is biased, yes it is in a way but its late and i should be asleep so i cant be bothered to write up a full unbiased report on both



Before i forget Jack I thought you was a kinda good guy but from that post you threw that down the toilet as your a ps3 fanboy (yes who gives a damn) but im just saying fanboys are scum as far as im aware people call me xbox fanboy boo hoo i know i aint as i occasionally play on my ps3 and some times my wii i just find xbox's better you may find ps3 better but no need to go shouting out that you think it was built for hardcore gamer which it wasnt as its more of a computer than games system xbox is for hardcore gamers as theres no 3hour long updates what take another 2000 hours to install aswell as there isnt operating systems or anything specifically for ps3 gaming is for the fun of playing the game not fun of waiting all day to be able to play the game

[Moh]

Yeah, real good argument there. Are you seriously stupid?
Its true though. Every thing Microsoft develop now is to try and be an all mighty company. They saw that Sony make alot of money from there PlayStations, so Microsoft weren't happy.

To be fair though, Sony make computers and they use Windows Vista, which comes from Microsoft (something like that) and the SIXAXIS idea is pretty lame because it's not used alot. Both have their faults.

[Meanies]

Yes, but Windows is available to every one, but other OS such as Mac OS X arnt. Also whats the SIXAXIS idea? I thought SIXAXIS was the name of the remote.

Some games let you move the controller to do something. E.g. in cod3 you tilt it to melee

[Misawa]

Yup, the other consoles simply cannot take the new game.

Probably the two key aims on enterprise. Nothing wrong, all companies aim to aspire. Competition is also generally better for the consumer.

You just come out with a load of crap.

Not entirely true, some people have managed to get OS X on PCs. Infact, Apple are the only company that don't give out their OS to anyone and everyone, freely... Windows can go on anything and Linux is free to use for anyone. And SIXAXIS is the name of the function in the PS3 controllers which is similar to the Wii, except kinda useless.
