...with simultaneous multiplat release. And?

The problem might be that the PS3 is more resource intensive then the 360. This is not only probable but very likely. We have all heard the take on the system by developers. Most of them say it is hard. Perhaps that is because it is so new and untested. I have read dozens of comments by reputable developers to this effect. I know those developers are lazy, or those developers are stupid. Well what if they are not. What if the hardware is that difficult. The simplest answer is probably the right answer. There is no smoke without fire.

Basically you have a team of one hundred people working on this game. Then one part of the project starts to lag behind. The simple solution is to shift more people that part. Now if that part consistently slows you down it can also slow down the part of the project that was not having problems, because it has fewer dedicated development members.

Simultaneous development always slows down production. However if they had focused on the 360 version as the primary they would have made the deadline for a holiday launch. The only question is why did they not do that. Well the answer is obvious Sony paid for them to do that.

Sony has finally caved in and has started to negotiate deals again. Which for the longest time they refused to do even as their sales slumped. That is the only logical reason for this to happen. Somehow I get the feeling that Take 2 is playing both sides against each other. Sadly the gamers get screwed when that happens.

You guys should just f*** off blaming Sony or Microsoft, R* thought they could make the game for two very different types of machines in about the same time it took them to make the game for PS2/xbox.

They had problems making the game for both systems, each system has its ups and downs, its not sonys fault and its not microsofts fault. The game is full of bugs and glitches for each system. Rockstar should of just put the game for an Oct/08 release date from the start.

Watch the language PS3owner...we're responding to an article, if you don't like it, too bad...we're not out to defame a particular console or anything...even the PS3 is the reason the game's getting delayed.

Its the wii's fault then, the guys at rockstar have wrist injuries from play wii sports and cannot make GTA. This was Nintendo plan from the start, if they can't get the game then they plan to injure the guys at R*.

Breaking news just in. Nintendo wins the 2008 holidays. Sony and Microsoft still fighting for second. Up next the weather.

I don't think even Rockstar could fully see the consequences of their delay. PS3owner has clearly gone mad already. What will happen next?

Developers dont get it, you cant port a 360 game to the ps3, that would just mess up the codec resulting in bad results. This is why almost every game that came out on the ps3 and 360, the 360 version looked better. Sony cant do anything about it which is sad, since they cant do anything about third parties.
