See the top of the site. Rockstar just told me the poster’s a fake.

Yeah, MS will go big on this. Price-drop and GTA = double-whammy.

Swapya, patlike. I can only do console stuff at the minute and it’s killing me knowing I’ve got stacks of stuff I want to finish on the PC

I have no idea when I’m going to play it. At the moment it’s tricky for me to be able to play anything for any length of time in the living room. That’s why I’m playing PC games at the moment. I think I’m going to try to make an exception for this, though.

I’m looking forward to some real people getting to play it so that we can find out what it’s really like. Everything’s been through the hype filter at the minute.

Of course, I’m unlikely to get a go at it myself. Which kinda sucks, tbh.

I can’t wait until we can all play it and stop talking about it, frankly

They need to, just in case the public mindset is still associating GTA with the Playstation brand.

I reckon you’re going to see Microsoft going absolutely tonto on the marketing over Easter. They really see it as a key game.

I’ll believe it when I see it. I am sure that MS will try to squeeze every possible penny out of this release, and
I don’t think that Rockstar are the only ones who know how to use viral marketing for all that it’s worth.

Or someone realised what would happen if he did and it’s cheaper than paying for advertising. But cock-up before conspiracy and all that.

I will wait patiently for the superior PC version.

Apparently that guy’s from QA, Blerk. Might just not have “realised” that he’s not supposed to really talk about differences in console versions on gigantic games in public

Deffo 360 for me. Even if I have got my PS3 by then, I want to be able to play the DLC, should I feel the need.

He’s a bit full of himself, isn’t he?

“Suffice to say that both versions are stunning. Release either version on either console & it would still be the best game available for the format.”

I think we kind of already are seeing the start of it, Blerk. Things like COD4 and Burnout Paradise have shown it can be done and as the install bases get closer the lead development focus should shift somewhat

eep! So far it’s still the 360 version for me…

I haven’t read any of them. I can’t stand the hyperbole.

Would seem like an odd thing for them to say in public, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s actually true.

When are we going to see the end of this “PS3 as an afterthought” thing, though? Sony must be gnashing their teeth.

Recent previews have suggested the versions are closer than imagined but that there are clear differences in favour of the 360
