Grand Theft Auto IV

[Suede]

What would you like to see in the game?

I want to see

Kids
Animals

So I can shoot the fuckers.

[Kris Klam]

Russians
bank robberies
c-4

[Static Split Screen]

Better hand to hand combat system. Management minigames for owned properties, think a stripped-down theme hospital for a casino or something. Better AI. Throwing knives. Horses. More gore.

[Osceana]

No more of the lame "Go here and kill him, then go over there and kill them, then have a cut-scene, then go over here and kill him, then you gotta drive for like 3 hours (real time) to kill this dude, then buy a house that you can't even enjoy, then kill another dude, roll credits...."

[Suede]

I heard that the game will be set in Tokyo or London, England in the year 2010-15.

I also want to see a skateboard in the game.
The ability to smash anything.

yeah. San Andreas was way too big, bored the shit out of me.

[Ash]

yeah. San Andreas was way too big, bored the shit out of me.

You're joking. The size was the best part.

Someone said horses. I think that's a cool idea. Personally I don't want it set in the future - it could end up being really tacky, with laser guns and so forth.

[Herr Lipp]

I heard ages ago that GTA: Tokyo and GTA: Toronto (or some other Canadian city) had been copyrighted. Tokyo would be sick, they would have to sharpen up the katana action for that....then again I dont think Rockstar would be keen on making ti a kung fu game...

Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

[vaya con dios]

they copyrighted them but that's all they did. it may or may not ever involve either city

[Ash]

Every GTA game so far has been set in a fictional city, so why would the new one be in Tokyo or Toronto?

Oct 2007..shiiiiiit.

You're joking. The size was the best part.

There was one mission where I had to drive a truck and take it to the other side of the city, while being chased. I gave up. Even though I passed the mission months later.

[Ash]

You know what GTAIV really needs? Multiplayer.

[Herr Lipp]

I found the multiplayer bit (with the girlfriend) quite annoying man, how the camera was unworkable if you got too far away from each other. keep it solo, that's fine by me.


Suede i don't think you quite get computer games dude, they're supposed to be challenging. And annoyance goes hand in hand with difficult games

[Kris Klam]

Suede i don't think you quite get computer games dude, they're supposed to be challenging. And annoyance goes hand in hand with difficult games

I agree. Although, I'm playing Final Fantasy 7 again and I've gotten to the point where Caith Sith turns out to be a spy and you're supposed to go to that temple or whatever. I found it on accident just crusing around earlier but I can't for the life of me find it now. Its really pissing me off, geeza bird.

[Vidooch]

It's on some southern island with lots of forest.
Whatever you do, don't let Sephiroth take the black materia!

[Vidooch]

I think GTA4 should have more loading time.

[Stevie Nicks]

missions to be more challenging and replayable

[jas1n]

i stopped playing FFVII after Goldeneye came out.

They always register names and copyright titles to keep people guessing.

[Squirrel]

I would like a Grand Theft Auto game that actually works properly on the PC.

[flower shower]

I think GTA4 should have more loading time.

haha
Animals is a great idea, not only prairie cows, you could have a great big city zoo in which to torment them and unleash hordes to the streets on rampage, and maybe you can ride condors and giraffes. Plus, I'd like an Opera station & treehouses & male hookers & more accessible buildings per street. And crowd events, like concerts or parades so you can mow your way through & my favorite things to do are: 1) Ride the trains or drive on the train tracks at night, I'd like more detailed trains thus, a bit more sound effects and care, and the other is I like to steal a fire truck, park in the middle of a crossroad and spin the waterstream around like I'm a giant irrigator and keep flushing people out, so I'd like a more manageable waterstream because it's just too too hard to control. And it's more fun to kill people when it looks like they're having fun, so have them. And there seems to be no scaffolding ever, I'd like some so you can knock workers over & maybe crates full of merchandise in markets, more fleshed out markets.

[El Loto]

Adding to your comment about the waterstream but what about an actual stream of water which would run down the street and force vehicles to spin and push humans over etc. Hijack a bus and recreate Speed. Access to large ships. Ability to make character go off the rails due to narcotics addiction. More snow and actual "seasons". A Grand Prix circuit where you can steal single-seater racing cars. Road racing bicycles.

[Suede]

They should remove stupid shit like an 80 year old driving some nice car.

Every GTA game so far has been set in a fictional city, so why would the new one be in Tokyo or Toronto?

yeah but they're based on real life place - San Andreas= San Francisco, Liberty City = New York, Los Venturas [sp?] = Los Angeles etc

[Kris Klam]

I think longer police searches would make the game more exciting/interesting. I mean, its not really reasonable that you can torch 20 cars, kill 15 people, etc, etc and then the cops stop looking for you after you visit a safe house.

[Ash]

yeah but they're based on real life place - San Andreas= San Francisco, Liberty City = New York, Los Venturas [sp?] = Los Angeles etc

Well obviously, which is why they won't name it Tokyo or Toronto.

I like the idea of a Grand Prix circuit you can steal single-seaters from :yes:

[Kris Klam]

Why do people keep calling for GTA Toronto? What is there to do in Canada? Maple Syrup rings? Shooting mounties off horses? Getting robbed by Lebanese immigrants?

[Static Split Screen]

GTA tokyo or hong kong would be good.

[Herr Lipp]

Adding to your comment about the waterstream but what about an actual stream of water which would run down the street and push humans over etc. .

The Metal Gear Solid 3 stream is pleasing to the eye. Must be a bastard to write code for it.

[Herr Lipp]

Mountie Wrestling

[Squirrel]

Bears. :D

[jas1n]

it would be look just like america except different cell phone stores and the mom n pop places would give me shit about not having any canadian currency on me. i mean, hypothetically.

[Kris Klam]

Whatever gayboy.

[Suede]

I hope they get rid of foggy weather. Hated that.

[Fantasy Paradox]

I think they should have animals, then have it be part of the game to release them and have a crazy stampede. Tommy Vercetti on the back of a fuckin' elephant.

[Chaoseffect]

I would like a Grand Theft Auto game that actually works properly on the PC.
Vice City Worked fine for me I enjoyed it a lot more on there than on a console.

[Rael]

How about better graphics for one thing.

I don't want to drive across a goddamn state to complete a mission either especially through the twisting mountain roads.OMG kill me. i hated doing that.

no more of those super hard remote controll plane missions either.

or bike riding down a mountain when you can't see the actuall path the race is supposed to go and then you acicdentally fly of the mountain on your bike and then you have to drive all the way up the mountain again just to restart and the you fly off again halfway there because it's taking forever to get back and you just want to win a stupid race that doesn't even do anything.

Just make the game fun, make it controll well, and make it look good.

I think it was San Andreas, when you were on that rooftop with that stationary machine gun, and you had to take down the planes

I think the mission guy was "Zero" or something. He was a fat nerd kid.

yeah that mission had me fucking swearing forever.

[SardonicTexan]

fuck that level. oh yeah and the jetpack and parachute.

could you BASE jump in SA

[Herr Lipp]

that level was supposed to be a challenge! makes it sweet after you've spent hour after hour trying to do it.

[Herr Lipp]

yeah you could base jump in San Andreas.

I preferred stealing a jet and just bailing out though.

[Suede]

I hope there will be a futuristic GTA game.

[Zen Acolyte]

I'd like to see some sort of betting aspect put into the game. (I never played San Andreas, so if something like this one in that one, forgive me.)

I'd also like to play golf.

"little people" to interact with would be fun/funny.

:cloudy:

[Herr Lipp]

there are betting shops in San Andreas, but they're a bit cack. It's like videogame betting with horses. You pick one out of four at certain odds and if it wins you get the payment. I played three times, lost three times and never played again.

You can also play some black guy at pool for up to 2000 a match. that's more enjoyable, I particularly like bashing his skull in with the pool cue if he beats me.

[El Loto]

The trailer is released tomorrow!!!

[Herr Lipp]

i've just noticed. shouldnt we be calling this GTA VI? SA and VC were no way clones of III.

[Suede]

loto - you kidding?

Fraser - GTA IV is a sequel to GTA III
The first true sequel to the original PlayStation 2 game has been announced for the next generation consoles, but what new features will it bring? With no trailers or even hints as to its content, for the moment Rockstar are currently saying nothing. However, despite almost no information being released about the actual game, we do know the exact release date: 19th October, 2007 – simultaneously on both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

[El Loto]

Fraser: It's all about the engine. This is the fourth version blah blah.

Yes the trailer is released tomorrow. Go on the website, there is a countdown. 11pm woohoo.

[Drevpile]

[El Loto]

I'm a bit surprised by the return to Liberty City, or New York whatever they'll call it. It looks well seedy too. Character looks insanely interesting also. CANNOT WAIT.

[vaya con dios]

It looks like Coney Island is gonna be in it!

Oh man how awesome it would be to be on the Cyclone while picking people off with a sniper rifle...

[Tago Mago]

:O Did I just see a GTA trailer pay homage to Koyaanisqatsi?

[Drevpile]

new york, new york! looks awesome...

[Zen Acolyte]

Yea, all looks good. Glad to see it back in Liberty City. Did ya'll see the 6lb Heart Stopper burger Ad? :jesus:

Gta's humor/irony is fucking classic.

[vaya con dios]

:O Did I just see a GTA trailer pay homage to Koyaanisqatsi?

hahaha looks like it..

[Stevie Nicks]

not fricking liberty city again, it would've been nice if it was non-american, but anything but liberty city. still though it'll probably be great

[Suede]

probably fake but looks cool though
http://home.btconnect.com/hgi/ps3/gta-4.jpg

[El Loto]

Yeah I think it is, I saw it on some other site.

[jas1n]

i'm fucking stoked. i loved Liberty City.

[Nak Nak]

hahaha looks like it..

Philip Glass?
I can't be bothered finding the trailer to listen again.

[Suede]

delayed..2008 release now.

[Nak Nak]

X360 is hampering dev process and they are transitioning to a new engine for the first time since GTA3.

[Herr Lipp]

Gta's humor/irony is fucking classic.

It's British Comedy-lite so teh Americans get it :D

[jas1n]

X360 is hampering dev process and they are transitioning to a new engine for the first time since GTA3.

Liberty City Stories was actually the first with a new engine.

[Nak Nak]

Liberty City Stories was actually the first with a new engine.

That doesn't count. LCS vs GTA3 engine is like spitfire vs hurricane. GTA3 vs GTA4 engine is like Spitfire vs F-16. teh RAGE engine is like lightyears ahead, jeez.

[Herr Lipp]

Or F-16 versus Eurofighter :)

It will be chucklesome having a better jet than the US Air Force....for however many months until they bring out that F-22 or whatever it's called.

[James Yee-haw]

Or F-16 versus Eurofighter :)

It will be chucklesome having a better jet than the US Air Force....for however many months until they bring out that F-22 or whatever it's called.

I'm a military nerd..or at least interested in aviation specifically since I was obsessed with model airplanes and own stock in Lockhead and other airplane companies.

The first squadron was delivered a couple months ago....I think April. More are on the way.

The Eurofighter, while a fine fine jet, gets totally pwned by the f-22. It's kind of a silly overkill fighter though...no one we fight will ever have anything close to competing with it.

the next american fighter jet to replace F-22 will be pilotless. I don't see much new being developed after the JASTA fighter.

but yeah..a 130 million dollar jet fighter aint any good against an insurgency. Our military needs to restructure to fight a ground war..not a tech war.

maybe we should spend money on armor for our troops instead of stealth fighters?

[jas1n]

i've ony played it for about half an hour but it's pretty awesome. i'm terrible at driving.

[Kris Klam]

I officially caved. Getting a PS3 and GTA4.

[Tago Mago]

One of the best games in a long while, I can already say.

Tried some multiplayer. I get my ass pummeled because I'm not quite accustomed to the controls yet, but it's still damn fun.

[Suede]

Does anyone know when the price of the PS3 will go down?

[Gesus Kriest]

I officially caved. Getting a PS3 and GTA4.

YES~!

[Gesus Kriest]

Whoever has the game will agree with me on this or at least should....the online play is fucking fantastic!

[Kris Klam]

YES~!

Still have to wait forever to play it, though. I ordered it and had it sent to my parent's house so it wouldn't distract me during finals/wouldn't have to lug it around in a suitcase to Belgium. :(

22 days from today and I'll be playing it.

[Gesus Kriest]

I can wait patiently to shoot you in the skull, Kris. :O

[Kris Klam]

I reckon I'll tell you and Fraser to meet me some place...only instead of being there I'll be on some roof top with a sniper rifle!

[Gesus Kriest]

See? You haven't even played it yet and already know the best strategy...until I sneak up behind you and shoot you in the fucking skull. :O

[Kris Klam]

Haha, we'll see, we'll see. I'm going to pre-order MGS4.

[Gesus Kriest]

Actually by the time I'm behind you, you won't be seeing anymore. :D

[Robert]

The police helicpoter is soooo lame!

The machine guns don't hardly do any damage, it's pretty lame. :(

It's still fun to smash people with, though

[lostdreamachine]

Drunk driving is even better in this game than it is in real life!

[SlingeroGuitaro]

Drunk driving is even better in this game than it is in real life!

ha

[Drevpile]

I like it, i like it a lot...

[Suede]

£310 in Zavvi with GTA IV!

[Suede]

shalli get it - yes or no?

[Kris Klam]

Do it!

[Gesus Kriest]

Yeah come on...everybody's doing it! :O

[Suede]

But i need to know does the PS3 play normal DVDs as well as Blue Ray DVDs
and
is it multi region?

as my dvd died and i need another badly, watching movies on the computer isn't the same thing!

[Suede]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:(

[Chopstick]

I feel like I don't have a good enough grasp on the combat controls to allow myself to be seen by other human beings online. I can see that shooting while driving is going to be one of those amazingly pwnsome skillz that a handful of dedicated individuals will truly master and use to destroy everyone else.

But when I'm ready, XBLA Gamertag: Chopstick2U

[Robert]

Don't bother, just learn how to drive.

Fill the car with three other people and let them shoot.

[Drevpile]

i'll go online after the weekend i thinks

[Suede]

on wikipedia it says Region Free for DVDS!!!

[Suede]

what about HDMI cable i need to buy that? also need a remote!

[Suede]

sigh cancelled my order, it seems only the 60gb model plays all regions. £285 for a games console just isnt worth it it if doesn't play Region 1 discs.

[Drevpile]

This game is soooooooo good.
I thought Bioshock was the bees knees - but this really does blow everything else i ever did play > way way way way out of the water, into SPACE.

[placeholder86]

you bastards....I wanna play it! :cry:

[Kris Klam]

I won't be able to play it till the 22nd. I'm going to arrive in Belgium, drink a beer at the airport, go home, and play until the jet lag kicks in.

[Drevpile]

aside from 'the [amazing] world' i actually care about what happens to Nico, Roman and pals - great game

& fuck Kate she's ugly > Kiki's got the only skillz i need oh and Carmen comes in handy :yes:

[Suede]

ANSWER ME OR I DELETE THREAD

[Drevpile]

^ buy a 360 ?

[Drevpile]

and a dvd player cheap ?

[placeholder86]

so, you cant buy businesses like you could in san andreas...You cant go to the bookies and bet on the horses...Man there takin' shit away from it!!

[Reginald I. Perrin]

It's fucking awesome, isn't it?

I'll add my XBox screenname to the pile too: Elmyrdehory.

[Gesus Kriest]

:( Blake, you have XBOX360...so much for our heterosexual lovin' during deathmatches.


Fraser...fucking add me already....or else...and by or else I mean, I'll just keep waiting...

[Suede]

in GTA there have never been any JEWS and its based in NYC most of the time. how antisemitic.

[Robert]

I swear I ran over a jew yesterday.

[SlingeroGuitaro]

I swear I ran over a jew yesterday.

high five

:(

[Herr Lipp]

I have been absent from blamo because I have been playing this game too much. G, I swear I will add you soon, DonKingofKings!!

Havent played much multiplayer yet, just sticking to the single player, about 60% through I think. Great game. More of the same really, so can't really say it's my favourite of all the GTA's but it's up there. Brucie has to be the greatest ancillary character in the world though. Genetically Different!

[Herr Lipp]

p.s. you got a mic? if you do thats sweet, we can team up and you can do the trash talking as no doubt you have a more intimidating voice than me.

[Herr Lipp]

this month is going to be heavy on the wallet, MGS4 and Haze are necessary purchases. Maybe I can wait for Haze, but not MGS4. Oh no.

[ElectricMayhem]

My brother just bought a PS3 & GTA4. I will be playing it soon! Hurray!

[Suede]

hey gays i bought a ps3, still don;t have GTA IV though:(

how do i transfer mp3s off my PC's hard drive to my PS3's hard drive?

[SlingeroGuitaro]

how do i transfer mp3s off my PC's hard drive to my PS3's hard drive?

can you burn a cd and import them?

[placeholder86]

So, guys....I can't help but feel slightly let down....Its sweet and everything..But they've taken away some fun elements.....Maybe I expected too much.....I'll understand if you never wanna speak to me again...I only played for a few hours but I wasn't exactly raving over it...

[Drevpile]

:O

[Herr Lipp]

what is it you wanted to know moe?

you can transfer shit to ps3 with a flash drive, sd card, or CD/DVD.

[Suede]

cool thanks

i played the game at my friend's, i found the graphics too dark, too many shadows, hard to see what you're driving into! also driving is a bit of a pain when going fast, as you lose control of the car easily.

[Gesus Kriest]

p.s. you got a mic? if you do thats sweet, we can team up and you can do the trash talking as no doubt you have a more intimidating voice than me.

Indeed I have a mic! My voice isn't that deep, but I am the king of talking trash so it all balances out!

[Gesus Kriest]

I've made people quit while playing Burnout Paradise before because everytime I would take them down, I would just relentlessly make fun of them. :)

[Robert]

In GTA when you're playing it doesn't tell you who's talking when.

So you can say REALLY offensive stuff and trash talk without getting neg-repped.

[Gesus Kriest]

I noticed that. I love it.

[ElectricMayhem]

i played the game at my friend's, i found the graphics too dark, too many shadows, hard to see what you're driving into! also driving is a bit of a pain when going fast, as you lose control of the car easily.

Yeah, when I tried it out I was having the same issue with the darkness of the game, no big deal though, I just turned up the brightness & contrast in the options. I really like the way the cars handle. The new control scheme confused me a little bit, I kept pressing the wrong buttons for things because I'm so used to Vice City. I really like the changes to the combat system, it works much better! I also really like how you can lose the cops now.

I had a lot of fun playing it, I love it. I just wish it was set in 1980s themed Vice City instead of Liberty City lol.

[Herr Lipp]

yeah you need to turn the in game brightness up for sure, saves you squinting.

The driving is definitely more realistic, and therefore more realistic. I do miss going around corners sideways and using crashes to get you back on line, but when you do pull off a power slide in GTA4 you feel like an OG pimp hustler type.

Moe, you also need Call Of Duty 4, badly.

[Suede]

its clearer now with a HDMI cable (I have the game now)! get that if you have a HDMI socket for your TV.

i didnt like CoD for the GameCube, died too easily. :(

[Herr Lipp]

of course I have HDMI!

COD4 was easily the biggest game of the year 2007, across all consoles.

Just save your money then and wait for Metal Gear Solid 4 to come out.

[SlingeroGuitaro]

< jimmychamberlin xbox live

lets blow each other up

[Drevpile]

I love this game... multiplayer is awesome. Alas i've have yet to find a a team intelligent enough to all tool up with shotguns, a couple of rpgs and snipers & hold up in one of the buildings you can go in. Especially the building opposite the [main game] Bohan safehouse as it has no adjacent rooftops for the bad guys to get you from... The laywers office in Algonquin would be awesome to hold up in 2.

[Suede]

i can only manage 10 mins of this game before getting bored, there's just nothing to do in Liberty City. Going on dates with friends/gf gets boring quickly. There is no Rampages, remember blowing up people and vahicles in GTA III - How fun was that? Plus you can't purchase any property, so what good is having almost 300k in your pocket?

[Kris Klam]

To buy guns, dawg.

I'm on the last mission. Probably the best game I've ever played, even though this mission sucks so much cock because it includes the worst aspects of the game...

1. Car chases where you can't kill the guy you're chasing.
2. The fucking boat (I hear that if you chose to just kill Dimitri you get a bike instead, dunno).
3. The fucking helicopter.

[Herr Lipp]

ye the bike was much easier.

moe you are right it doesnt have the same replay value as the earlier ones, even with the online. a shame. i guess theyre just getting to grips with the new hardware sacrificing content for badass graphics and physics.

[Kris Klam]

4. Even if you die, you have to repeat the boring ass boat part. There's also been several times where I've shot my way past everything only for a rocket to hit my boat RIGHT WHEN I GET INTO IT.

[Drevpile]

i didn't find it too hard - maybe i got lucky? On multi-player, which i love, (tho auto aim matches are SOOOOOO shit), I got the 'Let Sleeping Rockstars Lie' achievement tother day - which i thought i'd never get > Although running around in underpants quickly loses its appeal...

[Kris Klam]

Completed the game. :D

I'm going to go through it once more and take alternate ways. I pretty much killed everyone when given a chance to, so this time around I'll let em' live.

[Gesus Kriest]

I love this game, but I seriously cannot play the one player story...it's just not appealing to me when I have the badass online play just sitting there waiting for me to fuck shit up. I need to beat this game, but I just can't bring myself to sit down and play it without jumping online. Maybe when I get back from vacation.

[Drevpile]

just hit rank 8 :yes:

[Kris Klam]

I restarted the game. I'm doing more of the side missions and liking them. I've been stealing cars for Brucie and using cop cars to go on the vigilante missions.

[Hi There, Am Pam]

http://weeklygeekshow.com/thompson.jpg

JACK THOMPSON IS ASHAMED OF YOU ALL! GO PLAY Q-BERT! :mad:

[Kris Klam]

spoiler warning

If you kill Derick rather than Francis, you get a number to call to get rid of your wanted level. It's like a regular number, being that he won't always pick up, but it's useful every now and then, especially if you're like me and let off a few shots right when you start the game and already have the police on you at your safe house.

I haven't noticed any difference between killing Dwayne and Playboy X, except that former becomes your friend, but if you kill Dwayne, Playboy X wants nothing to do with you. I'm not too keen on the in-game friendships, though.

I completed all of the side missions for Brucie in terms of stealing cars and nothing really happened. It's small money too, so not really worth doing if you're already far into the game. The same goes for the races. It's pretty much standard material, you get to first within the first lap and you don't see the rest of the cars for the rest of the race because they don't break on turns and end up smashing into other stuff.

Completed all the side missions for Jacob. Nothing ends up happening, though.

I like the cop missions somewhat.

[Divine]

if you don't kill dwayne, he has a car full of guys protect you...

[Divine]

and you get playboys crib, yo!#%

[Divine]

jacob brings a car of weapons to you
brucie sends a helicopter to pick you up
packy gives you car bombs


when the friendships are usually 70% and above... :D

[Kris Klam]

Have you done any of the pedestrian missions? You'll just be driving around and all of a sudden those little diamond notifiers come up. I beat up those guys making fun of the rapper and helped that one creepy guy throw stuff into the ocean.

[Divine]

yeeah! i've got most of them done. i'm at 92% completion but i am getting tired of trying to be everyones MOTHERFUCKING friend... fucking shit!

I've been playing the online games.

The other day I joined a deathmatch set at the airport with only rocket launchers and knives. I usually hate using the rocket launcher in deathmatch, but at such a small setting it was a load of fun. There were points where people would go flying into the air only to go right up again right when they hit the ground because someone else would randomly shoot a rocket.

One thing I hate is how long it takes for the match to actually start sometimes. I don't know if whoever organizes the game is waiting for the maximum amount of players to join or what, but it's seriously annoying when you only have a short amount of time to play and you want to get to it as soon as possible. On the other hand, I also dislike it when I get in a game with only 3-5 people and it's in a huge location, requiring you to get a car and drive for an entire minute to get where people are at.

I've been playing the online games...


The set up of Team Deathmatch is key;
20 minutes or $10,000
weapons, powerful
auto-aim, OFF
reticule health, on
gamer-tag display, on
Blips, All or far
re-spawn, near and 1 second...
& if i'm 'King' i would usually try an get people to make it two teams, and wait untill there's at least 5 people on each team before starting it, and the jobs a good un.

oh and location NOT Happiness Island or Prison.

... i don't think i'm going to make it level 10 before i hit Japan :cry:

I finally got my game back! Time to kill everyone until I decide to download the new Burnout Paradise patch and bring my addiction back to that game...

Kris, I owe you death.

[DrHibbert]

Damn it!

I'm not shelling out $500 for a PS3 just so I can play this game. Just release it on PS2, fuckers. I don't need to see every molecule of blood in perfect 3d.

[Herr Lipp]

the engine would cripple the ps2.

just upgrade you cheap ass! buy a 360 (*spits*) if you must, but though they can produce similar graphics now, the lifespan won't be as long as the ps3.

The PS3 won't have a long lifespan either once developers finally give up trying to work with Sony's tools and figure out cell processing seriously doesn't work for vidya games.

But I'd never usssssse it! $560 for one game, basically, for like 2 weeks. Then into a dusty box. Fuck that. :rolleyes:

Exactly. :smash:

[Nak Nak]

I think it is mainly that the 360 has a better video card. The Cell processor is technically stronger than the 360's cores, but because it has weaker video hardware it is burdened by extra load.

[Gesus Kriest]

Oh dear God not again...just enjoy the system you got...

Back on topic...Kris, I still owe you death one of these days...

[SlingeroGuitaro]

my 360 should be back next week if anyone wants to be murdered

yeah yeah. changing a tire on a fucking motorbike doesn't make you an engineer, douchebag.

PS3 > 360
