Well, that and a nice cheque from Microsoft for associating GTA4 with 360 (w/ downloadable content, etc.).

Wasn't Stranglehold as good or better than the 360 version? I thought you had made the official thread.AgentOtaku said:

as good, but it took them months longer to get the ps3 version finished.InterMoniker said:

Good point but with the rumor that Sony was co-helping them develop the PS3 version, we never really know until it is unveiled.

One-sided recollection FTW!
Both versions were in serious trouble (with different issues) at various points in development internal devs from both MGS and Sony were helping Rockstar with version-specific sections of code. IIRC MGS guys were helping with streaming from the disk and texture compression to try and cram everything on to one DVD; Sony guys were helping with swapping stuff in and out of the PS3's memory.
I think everyone at Rockstar was more familiar with the 360 architecture though, after the Table Tennis experience.
This won't be like Valve handing off to EA to pull a shitty cash-in port of Orange Box. Everything we've seen so far points to them taking both versions seriously and optimising for each accordingly.

Lossless audio maybe, different textures (meaning higer res) no (meaning more variety) maybe.

GTA being on Xbox is the main reason I bought my 360. If it had been a playstation exclusive, then I would have a PS3.

True, unless they give you a way to regain your weapons then any mission replay is pointless. Although my memory may be a bit hazy here, I think VCS may have done something like that for when you were busted/wasted.
Also I'm glad to hear that the satirical GTA tone is still prevalent. The early previews suggesting that it was going for a more serious and gritty tone had me worried. Honestly, I think the humour and character is one of the biggest reasons GTA strides behemoth-like over the competition.

Ah well...take what I can get, I guess. I'm eager to see the expansion content the 360 gets. I think Sony blew it by letting that deal go through. Surely they could have done something.
Edit: Ah, caught your edit. The elimination of repeating textures would be cool.

yep keyphrase is "as good"
...unfortunately it had its fair share of problems...like the fact that the 5.1 for Hardboiled was outta sync as well as for Stranglehold itself (Turok PS3 demo has this SAME ISSUE!)
Visually it held its own with a bit more framedrops....well except for the "rainy slum" level

hopefully...but I forsee PS3's ram being an issue and the game eventually thrashing the harddrive constantly ala PS3 version of Assassin's Creed

That's the bottom line pretty much. Anyone expecting a massive game like this - with all its goings on - to look like Gears of War, for example, is setting their expectations way too goddamned high.

That was one of the best (and occasionally worst) things about Scarface. You really felt like the cash earned from your antics was burning a hole in your pocket so you had to deposit it at the bank or spend it in case you got busted/wasted.

Yea, I mean, who plays games to have fun right? I just want to sit and stare at pretty graphics!
Funny you'd mention Mass Effect, given all the tearing / frame drops / texture loading...I'd say GTA IV may be more 'visually pleasing' just because it might lack those little annoyances.

I like the sound of the cover system. I like the fact that you use a button to get into cover. Also gunplay just sounds a lot better. I wish we could know more about the health system though. Euphoria sounds like its being used really well.
Also multiplayer being shown in a month or so? Looks like we'll be seeing GTA IV sooner than people think.

We'll be lucky if they are identical (PS3 on par with 360 version). I've never, ever seen a multiplatform game being shown mainly on the 360 prior to release to actually turn out to be as good on PS3.
COD4, Turok, The Darkness, Assassin's Creed, Orange Box etc... PS3 = inferior version
On the other side, multiplatform games shown mainly on PS3 turn out to be as good as the 360 (not necessarely better). DMC4, Burnout Paradise, Sega Rally Evo etc...
Going by this pattern, I'd say GTAIV will run better on 360. Whatever "they are identical / you wont spot a differnce" bullshit devs will tell you. Even those you trust the most...

Sounds like they've fixed many of the things that I hated about past GTAs, although I completed every one of them except for the PSP side-stories.
The bit about the "friendship" missions scares me. I hated the romance missions in SA and basically ignored them whenever possible, as well as the "gang territories" stuff. I did just enough to progress, then forgot about them as they were not fun at all. Felt like time fillers. Now they say here that the friendship missions in GTA4 aren't required but that they will make the game significantly easier if you do them. That MIGHT really mean "They're not required. (Unless you want to be able to beat the game with normal skills.)" I guess we'll see.

You sure give me one with you incessant whining. No need to act like the game is mother-effing queen of beauty now, the city is huge, gameplay will be great, but visually compromises have been made and it shows. It pisses off some people, so what ? Geez.
