Ohhh....this is PS3owner...that makes sense. Too bad I'm not the one who banned you.

 /off topic

lol,

ps3 owners are so mature, so they need mature games !

Have you ever seen a banned xbot or ninny goin on a rampage like this ?

I have seen at least 2 stoopid ps3 owners: 1. blue3 2. ps3owner

Whatever issues may be involved in the delay, I can assure you that any sort of "brand loyalty" on the part of Rockstar has -nothing- to do with it. This is business, millions of dollars are involved.

It seems the mods need help with this forum.  I have zero tolerance for trolling, platform criticism (Rule 4), and poster bad-mouthing (Rule 3.4) and you will be reported.

Look at it this way, Skate which is coming out in September for the 360 is coming out in October for the PS3. Stranglehold is delayed a few weeks on the PS3. The list of multi-platform games being delayed on the PS3 is far more common than on the 360. So if the game is being delayed because of one of the platforms then the chances are likely it's the PS3.

Well that makes sense to delay both versions a few months since it takes a couple weeks longer to get the PS3 version optimized. If I looked at it that way that entire statement still seems RETARDED. The reason those games are delayed on PS3 is most likely the began as a 360 build since PS3 came a year later and then was ported to PS3. The same thing will happen when porting a game built on PS3 tech to a 360. Either way that does not explain a several month delay. It would just seem RockStar is behind schedule.

PS3 could very well be the problem, but the game started out as a PS3 exclusive so therefore being developed ground up for the PS3 and ported to 360. Not the other way around.

I don't buy that because every time they demonstrated the game or released demos they were of the 360 version which leads me to believe it was further ahead in development.

What really bothers me in all this if it's true is Sony.  Why did they have to put the Cell processor in the PS3 in the first place?  There were more than enough processors out there that would have handled the job and not give game developers headaches.  Instead Sony spent billions developing a solution to a problem that didn't exist.  And not only are PS3 fans screwed over by having to pay higher costs for the PS3 but now some of the rest of us are now being screwed over as well because of them (if this story turns out to be true and the PS3 is indeed the reason).

Sorry to rant it's just that it seems like we're all suffering because of some of Sony's previous stupid decisions.  Game developers having to devote more time and resources and experience delays that cost money and gamers that experience delays in games.


Holy shit man are you kidding me...Why are you So sure that it is the PS3? your ripping into a system that is most likely NOT even the problem ... Hell maybe they couldn't get the damn thing running on the 360 because the dev kits Red Ringed on them and Micro soft ran outta fuggin boxes again so there is a couple month delay in shipping . By THE WAY I'll take Cell processors over the Red Ring o' Shitbox any day . Sony Can Not Be to blame for ANYTHING Rockstar does. If the 360 version is ready then I sure they would try and sell it

Well, that's certainly an unbiased post. :p

Sony is absolutely to blame for creating a hard-to-program machine that extends budgets and delays games... Unless you think every dev that complains about the PS3 is just lazy... Then you're just delusional.

With that said, we have no idea why GTA is delayed. It could be the PS3 and it could be the 360. I don't see why it f***ing matters one bit. We're all going to have to wait for the game no matter what platform you own. Get over it and go play some games.

I highly doubt this delay has anything to do with the Playstation 3 but then again, it is impossible to tell since the game is now on two consoles. I mean, if it were only on Playstation 3, it would be without doubt but now, it can only be speculation. One has to assume that work was started on the Playstation 3 version before thee XBOX 360 version so I have to think that a lot of the problems (which seem to come up more in the beginning of development as opposed to thee end) would be worked out.

Hey in my defense my post was more a direct response to Legend 11's attacks on the PS3 than on the 360 I have no hate for the 360 and once they actually fix the hardware problem I will almost certainly get one ....since by then the Marvel MMO will be out ,and Damn I want to play Gears of War.

I just wanted to add that I wish I could have a full time job where I was as completely wrong as Patcher time and time again and still be employed. I think this dude sold his soul.

I don't see why it's so far fetched that the PS3 is causing delays. If the PS3 was so easy to develop for, surely we would have seen more 2007 major releases.
