Gritty GTA4 may help Sony wrest turf from Microsoft

"Grand Theft Auto 4," the biggest, meanest, raunchiest video game of the year, looks set to help Sony's PlayStation 3 console gain new ground in its turf war with Microsoft's Xbox 360.

DarkSniper6607d ago

Many journalist reports show that PLAYSTATION® 3's iteration of GTA IV is undoubtedly the superior version to play. Xbox 360 suffers from such a terrible hardware design, Rockstar Games were forced to make the best of their situation and attempted to make the game of the same quality as PLAYSTATION® 3. The Xbox 360 version suffers from jaggies, frame rate hiccups and consistent screen tearing. The aformentioned is thankfully absent on the PS3 version.

Xbox 360 is an abombination of a console that deserves each and every negative press response it receives. Microsoft was foolish in rushing their console to the market and new reasons to support this is being found every day. Microslaves are struggling for reasons to keep hope for this declining console alive.

Eventually, Microslaves will have no other choice but to WELCOME CHANG3 and and succumb to the only next-generation console in the market.

This is PLAYSTATION® 3.

Are you serious!? If The Playstation 3 console is so better then the 360 then how come they chose the 360 to make it on?! I for one think that the 360 version will be superior just because it was always one step ahead of the ps3 version. The ps3 games had always had framerate issues and some screen tearing in all the game. That is why the 360 games get much a better rating then the ps3 games do (the ones that are multiplatform). The 360 is the console to make games on.

Um, Jhawk, they had separate development teams that worked with each other, I love these kinds of dumb fυcks, makes me LOL.

SUP3R6607d ago

Jhawk I guess you're new to the scene and was totally out of GTAIV's development news, but as Dom said GTAIV is not a port of the 360 version it was built separately from the ground up so your argument is invalid.

eagle216607d ago

I didn't even imagine the movie format war to be over, but I knew that price and value would be in perfect place.

Plus, GT5 Prologue and the huge exclusive Metal Gear Solid 4 so close together made this a win for Sony. I am not ignoring Microsoft's potential gains from GTA IV, I just knew that MS would have only benefited a little more than now if this game released in Fall 2007.

Michael Pachter.

"If sales come in at the high end of that range, the game will directly spur sales of 2 million additional PS3s in 2008, versus 1 million Xbox 360s, reckons Michael Pachter, an analyst with Wedbush Morgan."

"I think PS3 'wins' this battle," Pachter said.

He reckons eh? I reckon there will be a Sony jerk off session starting when this will undoubtably get approved.

(looks at post #1.. too late)

GTA4 will certainly help the Playstation brand expand,and to think,not even 2 months after this game releases,Sony drops another bomb in the form of Solid Snake

It feels really good being a Playstation gamer this year!

SUP3R6607d ago

Whoa
I was confused as hell for a minute while reading that.

You guys need to stop with these clones it's not good for my heart lol.

GTA IV: Liberty City’s Finest

GTA IV turned GTA into a more grounded franchise where storytelling and immersion became just as engrossing as wrecking up open-world sandboxes.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies762d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken762d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing69762d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker762d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo762d ago (Edited 762d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing69762d ago (Edited 762d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos762d ago (Edited 762d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt762d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken762d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
