That just looks amazing. I hope the lack of a PS3 preview does not herald a delay on PS3 since that would be disastrous for PS3. Hopefully they will both come out at the same time and I can rely on gamerankings to tell me which to get.

im pretty sure sony has it written in the contract somewhere that both versions have to come out at the same time...

What contract??

Since when do developers sign contracts for multiplatform release. Or are you saying that Sony is paying R* to hold the 360 version until the PS3 one is done?

Either way both are very unlikely

uuuh if i remember correctly GTA IV was originallly sony exclusive but R* wanted it to be multiplatform because of the 360's higher user base so they asked sony out of their exclusive deal in return sony and R* made another exclusive deal.. some of which we know about and some we dont.. but in that deal i also agree that sony has in ink that the ps3 and 360 versions have to be released at the same time so thats what he was referring to

Nope. Rockstar tried initiating contact with Sony about exclusivity but at the time, Kutaragi wasn't accepting deals from Western developers for the PS3. So, Rockstar called Microsoft and it took off from there.

It was a pretty big deal at the time and there was a long article talking about Kutaragi's blunders with Western developers right around the time the PS3 launched. 

nope you got it wrong sony let rockstar out of the gta exclusive deal..... i thought that was common knowledge by now..... sony had the gta franchise signed up a long time ago..
