Xbox360's limitations influence GTA IV

Posted on Wednesday, 2 May 2007 by Covids, source: 1up

The developers at Rockstar don't know what to do anymore. The fight between Sony and Microsoft in the console wars is affecting them too.

Allthough the Playstation 3 can insure that every player has a hard disk and a Blu-Ray reader, the Xbox360 can't because neither the hard disk or HDDVD station are standard.

This example shows that companies have a really hard time developing the same game for different next-gen platforms. By the way, it's not all the 360's fault, the PS3 causes some difficulties as well:

Speaking to Official PlayStation Magazine UK [...], Rockstar Creative VP Dan Houser said the aforementioned technological limitations are definitely a hurdle while crafting the latest GTA. "To be honest with you we haven't solved all those riddles yet," he remarked, but didn't exclude PS3 from the conversation, as "both have enormous challenges ... [and] their own particular pleasures and pains."

They have added that all footage that has been shown up to now came from a 360. So not to fear, GTA is coming to both consoles.

Hence why i said 99% of my gaming is done on the X360 when i only game on the X360 and PS3, after having worn out Motor Storm months ago Bluray films are all that go into my PS3 now and that isnt that often.

Lair is the only game on the horizon im interested in.


So you contradicted yourself and then admitted to it. Well, fair enough then.


Care to explain fred because you've lost me?


Ok.

"If you was a true gamer as you put it then you would have a X360 and a PS3"

Here you say that to be a true gamer you should have both the PS3 and Xbox360.

"Hence why i said 99% of my gaming is done on the X360 when i only game on the X360 and PS3"

There you agree with me that you don't need a PS3 and admit that only 1% of your gaming is done on the PS3.

Hence, you said something, and then agreed with me when I disagreed with you, therefore you contradicted yourself.

Do you understand now?

All i understand fred is that somehow you got confussed as i wasnt the person saying what a true gamer is and was not saying i was a true gamer am im still not saying that.

My point was that there is no such thing and if there was then i would think they would have all consoles, i was generalising for the sake of the tit at the top of this story, read it again and you will see i am not contardicting myself.

I did NOT say im a true gamer anywhere in any of my posts.

somebody please name the games that xbox atleast share with sony and i doubt there is barely any because i think microsoft is selfish and greedy!!


Microsoft don't directly develop any games, so it's upto the developers to decide whether they make a game for just the Xbox or the PS3 aswell. If they don't make them for the PS3 then it's because Sony screwed up and made a bad console for developing.

As to being greedy and selfish....name me one successful business that goes around and "shares" its money makers?

Come on, don't be such a fucking moron.


well fred i asked to NAME the fucking games i didnt ask for this shit your telling me about sony not making a good console for developing ok so shut up and quit being an ass!

Your the only ass on here Maverick, your Sony fanboyism really does amaze me, anything said thats the slightest bit negative towards sony just makes you go mad, its fucking pathetic dude.

Neither company shares its games, sony DOES NOT share its game with Microsoft if thats how you think it works, any big name games that are third party go to whatever console the third party company choose, like GTA / Final Fantasy / Metal Gear Solid / Devil May Cry / Tekken and Virtua Fighter, sony nor microsoft had anything to do with the creation of any of these games so therefore they can and will appear on any console that seems worthwhile to the company that makes the game.

Gran Turismo is a sony in house created game so therefore will never be on anything other than a sony machine, microsoft own Bungie and Bizzare so therefore you will never see Halo or Project Gotham Racing on anything other than a microsoft product, the only time you will see otherwise is if either company goes the way of Sega which is doubtful, take off your rose tinted glasses D.R and realise that all console manufacturing companys are as bad as each other, sony is NOT the nice guy who shares all it has but gets nothing in return that you think it is.

If anything they are quite the opposite, they relied purely on people like you being mug enough to buy their console regardless so they released an overpriced machine with no decent big name games and still nothing on the horizon and also to use the PS3 as a way to push their Bluray sales.

Lastly only i may call him fred, come up with your own names for people :P

Beg your mama to use a pick soap to wash your mouth, and then send you back to the elementary school to complete your education.

Do you think before you post or do you think after you post? Nah I reckon you don't think at all. Vexxed actually bothered to write up a simple to understand explanation of where you went wrong and you STILL missed the point.

You're asking us to name games that Microsoft share with Sony. We're telling you THERE ARE NONE. That answers your stupid question. However the point is that companies are by default interested in your money, and not your happiness. So Sony don't share any of their games either. Moreover most games are neither made by Sony or MS and it's those other developers that by far have decided that the X360 is a better console to develop for.

Now i'm just repeating what Vexxed said but get it in your fucking skull already. You really must be a very young person if you don't understand such basic concepts (i'm 16).
