GTA4 too much for DVD?

Core407 said:
MS doesn't have games that look anywhere near the level of what I'm seeing on PS3. That's my point. It's not even close.

I can see that perhaps given what was shown at E3, one could perhaps argue that. But there's a ways and means for doing it. Don't just be inflammatory for the sake of it.

There is nothing WOW about the 360. It's middle of the road ho-hum console.

Man alive.

Wii offers something new.

Bleh. I have work in eight hours.

*shudder*

So basically youre saying potential buyers have two options:

A) buy a 360 and be unsatisfied

B) buy a PS3 and be wowed

Well I guess the answer is clear.

Seriously, it would take a about 2 seconds to re-spin that exact statement you made and have PS3 look bad. But such is the case with all fanboy arguments.

Try it. I really want to see how you can spin this. The only thing holding back the PS3 is the lack of big titles which will be hitting by end of the year and the high price tag. If you showed off both systems to a consumer and asked which one they'd rather have, they'd pick the PS3 every single time.

You guys do know they can just duel layer the disc instead of using 2:lol ?

It more than likely is already dual-layered, like how most 360 games already are as is... Unless, what you're talking about is Dual-layer-Dual-Sided, which is stupid, and you're just better off with 2 dual layer discs...

I think if devs start getting fed up with storage issues, it's going to end up with MS shooting itself in the foot this gen, and be the last straw... We'll see this fall how big of a difference the extra storage space makes i guess, and if it's significant this early into the life of next-gen gaming, it's not going to end up pretty...

What is so fanboyish about me not being pleased with the idea of paying $200 for an HD-DVD player that adds nothing new to the system.

You offer a Core system with no HDD and developers now are limited to making games that work on non-HDD systems. It's gimped right off the bat. Now we have the issue of DVD space and developers now have to keep game size in check. These are all things that keep the games from being what they should be.

Um, don't buy the add-on then? We knew that no games would take advantage of the add-on before it came out.

The Core is holding back X360 games, but guess what, it's also going to hold back a great many PS3 games as well cause most games are targeted for the Core X360.

I thought we had a deal?

Even if you want to stick around, don't dance with Core :lol

Yeah thats basically it. Don't buy the add-on. 1st party titles will sell the PS3. They always have and always will. You guys don't think GT5 will sell buttloads of consoles? Come on.

Now this sounds like something you would hear crazy ken say for sony in his better years.

lame, i wanted you to re-spin it :(


You should have seen him do his thing in the Killzone2 thread. Watching him work, it was like poetry.

One long, tedious, never ending, repetitive, depressing poem.

:D - So true.

Of course GT5 will sell tons of hardware, but by the time the damn game is out it will be down in price to the point where people might actually consider. If GT5 had launched with the console it wouldnt have had a very big impact on sales because of the price. Regardless of how good it looks. I do find it funny how all of Sonys heavy heavy hitting games will likely not come out until after a pricedrop.

I agree GT5 wouldn't move consoles now because of the price point. That's the only thing holding the system back.

And it was like arguing with a bunch of Core's, just have your arguments based somewhere out of Sony Land where whatever they do and say is truth.

No no no...

A) Buy a 360, happy for a few weeks; learn about reliability crisis. Become afraid of turning on X360, or using it with Forza 2.

B) Gripe endlessly about the price of the PS3, but buy it eventually when the games and price drops to level of desirability. Play happily!

Seriously though... wouldn't it be quite ironic if the PS3 turned out to be the lead development platform for GTA4?

Unfortunately the price points for both the Wii and the Xbox 360 are all but guaranteed to remain under the price point of the PS3 to the remainder of this generation. that's probably going to be a hindrance as well.

So youre saying, if both systems were free, everyone would buy a PS3 if you showed them reels of game footage???

One word: Halo.

You just need to see the light.

.45nm sooner than later and if Sony really needs to take a hit on the price, they will. You should be familiar with that. :P

How is that possible when it is at least one month behind?

Have they showed the PS3 version yet? The fact that they haven't might mean they're cooking up something special!
