I am. PS360 is old and tired and should have been dragged out back years ago.
PC or PS4, whatever version hits first will be the one I get. I can do this.

That's Inception levels of underwater cray-cray.

CELL pretty much screwed with the development of GTA IV and every other single multiplatform game until developers knew how to work with it.
I'd think that by 5 years of development it will be pretty much identical.
YES YOU CAN!
Truthfully, I'm more worried about graphical parity.
I was just thinking that- there be levels to this shit yo!

Urrrg. I pre-ordered the 360 LE months ago as I don't want to put my ol' launch PS3 through it's paces with this game. If anything fries it, it would be a monster like GTA V.
I did happen to order a regular back up PS3 version just in case but I'm hoping not to have to do that. I just wish we had some solid info on the 360 version by now.

Well IGN was playing the 360 version, so there's always that.
Which may not mean much! But there was one question about framerate during their discussion? Didn't listen to the majority of it.

There's a decent chance GTAV will never be released on PS4/XBone.
GTA:Online almost definitely will be released on PS4/Xbone, and it will probably have a high high def version of Los Santos. But... when? Who knows.

What sort of info are you looking for? Which just looks better? All the hands on IGN did last week was from the 360 version. They never said one was better than the other. They stated that it ran fine and looked incredible for the massive scale of everything. They have seen both versions, Rockstar demoed the game on PS3 earlier.
I think if there is eventually going to be a PC version there will also be a next-gen version since both consoles now have the x86 architecture.
There's no difference between then 360/PS3 version according to IGN.

from what we know... This is not from a leak but from interviews, but not 100% confirmed either --
No pigeons or suitcases like in the past. Collectibles will be ambient challenges similar to the "Master Hunter" challenges of RDR or the treasure hunting challenges of RDR. The example given was that a radio story might mention a mysterious unsolved murder 30 years ago that was somewhere in Blaine county... and you make note of it, and go out and investigate to find it. That could the unlock a series of other unexplained murders from a serial killer that you need to investigate, ALA treasure hunting in RDR.
It sounds awesome, but it also sounds like something different from what we're used to.
But the real kicker is that if you try and swim in VC you die and all of it is gone.
You got greedy enough.

Is this going to be on PC?

I've been pretty sensitive to spoilers but seeing that map .gif has put my mind at ease regarding size.
No word yet. Probably around 6 months down the line.

If there is any difference it might not be visuals but compression on audio.

I thought it was all but assured???? And Online is a different SKU than the main game?
I know what you're trying to do, you're testing me. Well, it ain't gonna work.

These all image OTs are fucking awful. Ugly, hard to read, and look like shit.

It's not assured at all. PC release is something you should bet on, it hasn't been announced or mentioned or anything, but Rockstar has released every 3D GTA game on PC about 8 - 10 months after the console version and we wouldn't expect they'd break that.
GTAV XBone and PS4 are not assured at all.
GTA Online is included with GTAV, but it really should be thought of something separate from GTAV. It's not just a mode inside GTAV, but an entirely different experience. For now, GTAOnline uses the same map, models, etc., from GTAV -- it's all built off of GTAV -- but Rockstar (by way of a very indepth interview between Director Leslie Benzies and CVG) indicated that the scope of GTA Online is much larger than GTA V, that it will branch to different cities, reusing old content, introducing new content, and more. You can only imagine that most of that will happen on the PS4 / Xbone, because how long are they going to support the 360 and PS3? Probably not much longer than a year or two.
So, GTA Online is not a separate SKU right now. You need GTAV to play GTA Online. You get GTA Online when you have GTA V. However, in the future, when they branch to new consoles. they very well could release GTA Online as a stand alone package, without bringing the content (missions, music, story, characters, and so on) from GTA V.
Also just to add, the new cities, new missions, new stuff, added to GTA Online, you'd probably have to buy those things by way of DLC... not all of it, but the major things, sure.
Not for sept 17 2013. But, arguably, it will be in the future. Every GTA release since GTAIII has been released for consoles, then announced for PC a few months later, to be released on PC about 10 months after the console version.
Now that would be cool, an underwater Atlantis

GTAIV was like, what, 6 months? And I think at the time that seemed pretty generous of Rockstar. But 5 years later I think the PC is much more of a presence in the market now, so hopefully that will help incentivize a more timely port. But who knows.
Agreed...seems like a game this big would get a better OT.
Hmmm, not sure I like the sound of that.
I loved past GTA games for the hidden collactables. Cutting through an alley or turning a corner then finding some goodies was reason enough to go on foot for the most.
I hated RDR for not having a reason to explore every nook and cranny, other than boredom or curiousity.
Poor bucket
I think it's pretty good though, except for the OT name.
Wasn't there treasure etc. that you could find?
Seems like GTAV will be like that too.

Get a 1080p monitor and welcome to the present. The OT looks great and it's easy as hell to read.

I'm sure many have seen the official map from the Brady Guide leak. And I'm sure many don't consider it a "spoiler" considering you look at the map as soon as you boot the game or in the manual.
But it's still a spoiler.
Could we all try to please keep the very specific things of the map in the mapping thread?
I really want to stay here for discussion and hype and not be spoiled.

Currrent Gen consoles also have a much larger install base than 5 years ago, so the "PC has a bigger market now" point is not really the best argument
Disagree, i think it looks awesome and it's the perfect fit for GTA
Don't forget, you can zoom out and it will display how it's intended if you don't have a 1080 monitor.

The OT is great! Although I don't think it displays properly on my browser.
I remember when R* said the game wasn't coming to PC, everyone on newswire said it was because everyone on PC is a pirate and R* wouldn't get any money if they put it on PC.

Can't read shit of the OT on mobile. #fail
What's wrong with it? It was plenty informative and it fit the rules. We're not allowed to have 300 post OTs anymore and I'm glad we don't. We don't need to act as the game's PR and marketing departments.
The new city looks considerably less dense...
The fact that they want to keep expanding on it "forever" (their words) is "absolutely nothing" to you?
These consoles (Ps360) are done in a couple of years, tops.
Might come to next gen when GTA 6 comes out though.
Do you think the next GTA will be 6? Or will it be like GTA: Las Venturas? Always wondered why they did that.

The map looks lovely. I'd pay $60 if the game was ONLY exploring the map, with no missions or activities or anything else.
I'm not sure we've seen a game with such a high value to dollar ratio in a long time

How can you even tell that from those pictures?
GTA6, I think the added number means it sells better.
At least now a days that's what most companies think.
Fewer small streets, more wide roads, probably.
