Just PO'ed. I've never been this excited for videogames, other then when I first bought myself a 360. The anticipation is killing me as well!

Hmmm...is your guide listed as "shipped" on Amazon? Weren't they originally supposed to go out on the 25th?

No dice at the Kmart in Poughkeepsie, NY. And I think I need a tetanus shot after going into that freakin' store.

I was watching the live feeds of PS3 and saw something similar, but it was a guardrail that appeared. I've come to face the facts that once in a while something weird happens. It's always been like that in GTA.
Odds are it won't be often though.

[quote name='Dezuria']To those who have played the PS3 version, are the controls the same as the PS2 games? I like steering with the digital pad.[/quote]
Sorry to crush your dreams, but analog only for driving. The D-Pad is reserved for your cell phone (up), changing radio stations (left and right), and zooming out on the map (down).
It's fun playing this on a DS3. I changed my ringtone on the game to vibrate and the controller rumbles when you have an incoming call.

I'm kind of concerned regarding which version to buy as well. I have a PS3 and a 360 sooo...
Also the sort of pop in that we regularly see on 360 (hello unreal engine!) has to do with textures and normal maps loading in late. The stuff you guys are posting about is asset pop in which I haven't seen as frequently. That's normally due to problems with occlusion... very strange. I hope this isn't the case. I don't want anything that removes me from the world of GTA. And that might do it.
I'm so hype for this game tho. It's tough weighing my options. I'll be looking forward to what Kotaku has to say tomorrow.

Well, I had the same conflict but since I know that my main focus is going to be multiplayer I went with 360 because I know more people that will be online with the 360 than on PS3.

I'm leaning towards 360 with cheezmints and DLC, but I'd like to see more reviews, and possibly some comparison videos.
Hey if you guys are interested the Gametrailers review looks like it will be up quite soon.

I think the PS3 probably play marginally better than the 360 version from what we've read in the reviews thus far. But considering everyone who's played the 360 version has stated there's no real slowdown or any major graphical issues, cheesemints, DLC and XBL win out for me.

I read the IGN review and they said the framerate and everything else is good on both systems but the 360 version has more pop in.

After reading the metacritic composition, I am prepared to annoint GTA IV as GOTY. And I'm getting the 360 version, without doubt.
[quote name='Kotaku.com']The two versions are so close to identical, visually, that putting together a comparison was a challenge. Initially, it appeared that the PS3 suffered from more noticeable aliasing than its 360 counterpart, but after eyeballing the final retail copy, they appear to be on par.[/quote]

Hell yeah. I never got past that early mission in San Andreas where you have to chase OG Loc on the motorcycle. Because of that I only have like 3 hours of play in that game. :lol:
(I can't seem to decide if that is something I should laugh at, be pissed about, or feel pathetic).

I never really felt that the GTA games were difficult, but the controls often made them REALLY frustrating. Looks like the shooting/targeting has been addressed in IV, but the wobbly driving has me a bit concerned.

Yea. I remember in San Andrea there was this one mission where you had to do a drive by and kill like 15 guys on some corner. The problem was that on the PS2, drive by controls were horrible, while I think that on the XBOX drive by controls were easier.

I know I'm going with the 360 version over the PS3 just so I can play with all my friends on XBL. I'll take a few lower resolution textures and a bit of pop up if that means I can do drive by's with all my friends.
That said, I saddened that Toys R Us isn't doing a midnight release for the game, but I'd rather use a giftcard than have to pay cash out of my pocket to do it. I'll just have to wake up early and get there right when they open.

[quote name='Moxio']Would someone mind explaining what "pop up" means? Is it related to draw distance?[/quote]When you don't see something in the distance and you happen to drive and run into something that just pops in. That is what it is loading that doesn't keep up.

Popup is objects that don't load fast enough and "appear". It happens in all GTA games, and apparently in GTAIV, it happens both in PS3 and 360 now and again. (i'm not surprised)
The draw distance in IV is greater on the PS3, but the 360 uses more texture filter to "fade" the distance.
