GTA IV ONLINE PLAY DOWN

[ScreamingRage01]

The multiplayer capabilities of GTA IV on the PS3 have gone down because of the amount of people trying to get on; the servers have crashed. Not sure what it's like on XBOX, but there are more people accessing it on PS3 today.

Lives working fine.

Bit of a jab for these fanboys..

Proof more people are accessing it?
Live is fine because it is a better service and they prepared for the increase :)

[Mo-Pycan]

I just can't wait to buy this tommorow.

[Swearwolf]

shoulda got an xbox

[Bonxy]

xbox live is so much better than wat eva ps3 have...

[ScreamingRage01]

The sales of PS3 versions of GTA are higher than XBOX 360, so it stands to reason that more people are accessing m'player.

I'd rather wait a day for multiplayer than have less smooth graphics, less peds and vehicles and bugs.

Search it. I've been reading it everywhere

[Bonxy]

ye well you're a ps3 fanboy so your opinion doesn't count.

[Recursion]

At least we get downloadable maps etc... :)

[DarrenToogood]

How can you have a downloadable map for GTA... you can't just add another Island like that...

[GommeInc]

Both consoles are good can we leave the argument there without urinating fanboyism everywhere...

it will end if you say XBOX 360 is better than PS3!

[Alan_Carr]

Its fine on the 360 servers ;D

Listen klutz, it's factual that the PS3 is the superior console. I am not a fanboy, I just tell the truth. The XBOX 360 if anything, is trying to replicate the PS3 with its failure known as the Elite.

Why is ur multiplayer down if it's superior?

[kk.]

more units sold..
You can say the xbox was trying to be a new ps2 though. Anyway, whats the multiplayer like?

[Neil]

Why is ur multiplayer down if it's superior?

Lol xD

Also - Why does the PS3 need to install games when they go over a certain size limit? The 360 can run games fine without an install, the PS3 probably wouldn't run GTA4 at all if installing wasn't an option xD

I think but don't quote me on this, its so game loads are faster and the start up is too

I'm sure it would but would take just as long as the xbox does

quite easily actually since the Xbox 360 has a superior online downloads sections.

I hate the PS3 install crap, clogs up the hard drive imo. Anyway im not being a 360 fanboy here, I am spending the next two yeasrs saving for a PS3 LOL

not proved, simply opinion

[Recursion]

You ask anyone that isn't a console fanboy and they would probably say Xbox Live is far superior.

Does the PS3 have a friends system yet, out of curiosity?

[kk.]

Im not a fanboy and I would say live. I've ne'er been on psn or live but I think my answers been clouded by xbox fans lol.

Theres been a friends system since the day it got released...

[danny1541]

I have both Ps3 And Xbox and i would say Xbox Live is far far better. But i guess you get what you pay for. Had problems with ps3 online on fifa 08 and a few other games. never had a problem with Xbox Live.

I do however like them both.

Peds as in pedestrians? Make it easier to gain a wanted level if you accidently hit one. Theres plenty on xbox, so that doesn't bother me.

Less smooth graphics? I personally have seen no problems. Plenty of vehicles as well, and not noticed a single bug (except he got caught on a vehicle I'd placed obstructing a mission start - although it skipped 2 footsteps to the next scene) at 40% progress.

[brandon]

Here we go. :rolleyes: Playstation 3 vs Xbox 360.

Typical fanboy comment. I could understand if you knew both online networks but you don't even know "wat eva ps3 have..." so therefore I don't see how you can compare the two. :S

[ScreamingRage01]

the reason for installation was that you never have to go through a single loading screen form start to finish on the ps3, whereas you have a load on 360.

[Recursion]

You still have to load at some points in the game.

Now you're just making stuff up haha.

The reason for the installation is to reduce load times, because the Blu-Ray format's read speed is incredibly slow compared to DVD. The PS3 copies data to the hard drive, therefore reducing load times but it will still need to load obviously.

I personally don't see any difference in either version. I was playing the PS3 version last night at my friends' after I had a go of the 360 one at mines. Load times are similar, graphics are basically the same, in fact, the only thing added was the SixAxis support which I don't see the point in.

Look at any comparitive review...
