Rockstar has no one to blame but themselves for trying to support the gimped Dreamcast 360.
How do you fit a city sized free roaming next gen game into 1 gig less(Xbox 8 gigs vs 360 7 gigs) than last gen with no harddrive to rely on?
You don't, you delay for six months...
Microsoft, gimping next gen for everyone.
Just think, PC and PS3 owners could be playing a real next gen GTA with Lair type graphics and world complexity and size i...
Halo 3 is like taking a poop on your TV set.
Laughably bad graphics.
Tired old mediocre gameplay.
They stole the damn backlash grenade from Resistance.
But they didn't steal Resistance's best in console gaming online play.
Halo 3 has no dedicated servers.
Halo 3 has laggy P2p networking.
Halo 3 can't handle any more than 16 players at a time.
Halo 3 == Crappy fps + stupid shiny metal effect + millions of dollars of market...
"Sorry, it was Jack Tretton and he said it about Killzone, no two ways about it."
Bzzzttt!!!
Give it a rest. It's been talked about over and over again. The only claims Sony ever made about running realtime were about Resistance. End of story.
Anything that shows otherwise is some bogus summary or revisionism.
LostProphet. OWNED.
Hell, if you're going to go hunting for clips that don't exist(like Sony claiming the 2005 Killzone 2 trailer was running realtime on a PS3) why don't you find the quote from Sony where they claimed "Toy Story" level graphics for the PS2 that Xbots just haven't been able to come up with the last five years while you're at it.
"Killzone 2 has always been about delivering on a promise. When the first trailer for the game emerged two years ago the sounds of jaws dropping to the floor reverberated around the industry.
Soon after, only the gnashing of grinding teeth was heard when it emerged that the trailer was not being run on PlayStation 3 hardware."
What an bunch of f-ing bullshit.
People were excited because the 2005 Killzone 2 trailer was one of the best trai...
What a loser, trying to spin the crappy smaller than last gen 7 gig DVD drive that Rockstar has been complaining about ever since the beginning of the GTA IV project.
Nothing but pity for the poor Rockstar engineers trying to fit a next gen game on a last gen system like the Dreamcast 360 with its idiotic 7 gig DVD drive and lack of standard harddrive.
"yes..you should tell that to the 5 million people who reserved the game. "
LOL, stupid Gaylo fans still trying to spread that bullshit pre-order figure?
5 million is nothing fanboy, Warhawk has 10 million pre-orders. No wait, it has 20 million pre-orders...
Hilarious!

LOL!
Microsoft payed 50 million dollars to Rockstar for a delayed game and Sony got the next Rockstar game exclusive for the PS3 and also are getting LA Noire exclusive for the PS3. Isn't that hilarious?
What now Gates? Retard...
The PS3 is outselling the Dreamcast 360 2 to 1 worldwide. It ain't the PS3 that desperately needs a price cut...
Stupid last gen graphics - someone needs to tell Bungie no one is impressed with slapping shiny metal over everything
Crappy networking
No dedicated servers
Laggy P2P networking code
The game can only handle 16 players per game
And you are forced to pay 50 dollars every year to play the game
I guess Bungie doesn't feel the need to bother trying to make a real next gen game with the millions and millions Microsoft is spending to hype an...
Also Level 5's White Knight.
And maybe FFVII remake with the FFXIII engine much later.
It is funny in a pathetic way if you look at Microsoft and Rockstar.
Microsoft pays 50 million for some extra mission in GTA IV
They brag about it to everyone as one of their big games for Christmas
Rockstar announces their next big franchise will be PS3 exclusive.
Rockstar announces, in addition, that LA Noir is a PS3 exclusive.
And then Rockstar delays GTA IV to the middle of next year.
That is so f-ing funny - except we are all stuc...
The 360 is a turd of a console. We should all have sympathy for the poor Rockstar engineers who are now killing themselves to get GTA IV out the door for such a crappy system.
The 360 is the first console EVER to actually have LESS storage space compared to a previous generation. The 360's old DVD drive can only store 3.5 gigs on single layer and 7 gigs on dual discs.
Since there is a large seek penalty when reading across layers, about 100 ms, free roaming games...
We really should wait for the Xbots over at EGM/1UP to tell us 'teh controls suck' or 'not as shiny as teh Gears of War' before jumping to conclusions that Sony has yet another AAA hit with amazing graphics on their hands...
That stupid Mass Downgrade avatar makes Xbot damage control posts just priceless!
Aww, lookie! The liddle Xbot is trying use the old 'hard teh program' BS!
Good boy! Now roll over! Sit up! Beg!
Good boy! Here's a cookie...
Explain?
It's another crappy Unreal 3 Engine written by a incompetent pc developer that is getting sued for their incompetence in the console market.
High five dude, you got to play Fatal Inertia first! Heh.
How much does it cost to force a developer to support your crappy console?
50 million dollars.
Right now gamers could be looking at an amazing next gen GTA with Lair type graphics shipping on 25/50 gig BluRay discs and multiple DVDs to install onto giant pc harddrives.
Instead the entire gaming world is now sitting around waiting for the poor engineers at Rockstar to try to force GTA to fit into an entire gig less disc space compared to last gen.
...
Hear that sound? It is whatever credibility EGM/1UP might have still had before this latest attempt at trashing another PS3 titles going down the drain...
The dimwitted Xbots at EGM/1Up could have been smart and just given Lair a 7 and been happy knowing they help lower the overall score average for the game, but instead they tried to be greedy and trash the game down to the 5s...
and now they are paying the price for their idiotic Xbox fanboyism.
From the delay press release:
"due to additional development time required to complete the title"
Translation:
Our poor engineers are still struggling with fitting a free roaming city sized game onto the crappy 360 7 gigabyte DVD drive and no standard harddrive.
PC and PS3 owners now have to wait around for Rockstar to gimp GTA IV even more to work on the POS 360.
Shame on you Hermen, you made the Xbots cry with your E3 Killzone 2 unveiling...
