Faxanadu on 23 April 2008

Seriously, whats with the morons working in the game industry, having no business sense at all.

If EA buys Take2 the next GTA will be available on PS3,360,PC,Wii,PS2,Gamecube,DS and PSP and will fit on a 32mb cartridge.

In fact, what can do MS do put a HDD or BR player in all their console ???

- allow people to purchase it and install it by themselve.

- put a BR player on the elite

- put a little HDD on the arcade (>5Giga)

at the end, the Xbox360 will make a step toward the PS3 that will push the PS3 as being the ultimate HD console.



Time to Work !

By the sound of the DLC rumours, GTAIV: VC and GTAIV: SA will be exclusive and downloadable on the Xbox 360, whilst I expect GTAV for the Xbox3 and PS4.

 Really??

I hate that you keep repeating this nonsense

If you keep saying it though maybe eventually you will actually start to believe yourself.

 

this is just my opinion that you are wrong and I do admit that there is an extremely remote possibility that GTA would completely change their entire formula and minimize the dev times of the equivilant of an entire other game down to just 3 months for "GTAIV VC" and then release it exclusively through DLC (as if that much data could be Downloaded) And You do realize that Vice city and san andreas were completely new games... right?

Nevermind I take it back, there is ZERO chance. You're dreaming buddy.  NO WAY in hell

Not Now not ever.

Nope.

Its so ridiculous it actually is hard to refute it because I dont know where to begin.

I mean did you play SA?   Do you really think they are gonna release the equivilant of SA (which would be about 2 or 3 times the size of GTAIV) through DLC.

Do you REALLY believe that? 



̶3̶R̶D̶   2ND! Place has never been so sweet.

Well I guess somebody (ultraslick) failed to read the rest of the thread, am I right? As this was posted shortly after that comment...

Ohhh...now the argument is that the DLC are the new games. Which is slightly unbelievable to say the least.

The wink was meant to signify that that was a joke post.

But on compression, Lionhead have said they can compress data to one hundredth of its original size without any noticeable quality loss, so I'm sure they won't have a problem getting it on a DVD9.

What this IS probably about is trying to get Microsoft to allow the mandating of HDD's in games. Whist it wouldn't effect the whole "can this game be put on this system" argument, it would make developing easier for Rockstar.

GTAV won't be on PS3 either probably. Look at GTAIII, they released Vice City and San Andreas after that as expansions, not sequals, so expect the same sort of stuff.

Thats why I love you smbu2000, you've got my back.

The funny thing is, ultraslick was absolutely wrong about the reasons he gave for why Rockstar wouldn't give the 360 exclusive dowloadable SA and VC equivelents.  At the end of the day, the reason they wouldn't go this route is simply that the downloading industry isn't developed enough to sacrifice that level of revenue yet.

Oh thank god the GTAIV: VC and GTAIV: SA thing was a joke. I was ready to debate it too. Sorry I guess I can't tell when a wink is meant to be a joke or being serious and cheeky.

On the compression thing, that's a possible reason for stating what he said, but don't you think that maybe Lionhead isn't being completely honest. I mean whenever a developer talks about space you say that they are being dishonest in one way or another, but couldn't Lionhead just be dishonest?

I doubt Lionhead are being dishonest about the compression ratiio. 1:100 is about the same level of compression that movies on BD and HD-DVD have so it is reasonable to assume that game data can also be compressed at that rate without any loss in quality.


Perhaps it's because I only skimmed the article, but I only found reference to 40:1 and 60:1 compression. Quite far from 100:1.



Yes

Always glad to help out. Somebody's got to be there for all the starcraft loving, right? (and I don't mean the blizzard game, though I like that too, hehe)
