-Jeronimo states “We want this game to last for years. Im sure we’ll do another GTA some time in the future, but this one is built to last” They also mention that the PS3 will most likely have their own form of DLC as well.
There you have it folks.
Game set and match.
We are sad to report that one of the Microsoft’s favorite online outlets has disappeared under the veil of bankruptcy. It seems that despite awarding a plethora of middling 360 titles 10/10s they were still unable to pay their server fees.
The SDF is unaffected by this news. Being a completely independent and non-profit publication means we can continue to provide award-winning unbiased videogame news coverage for a long time to come.
More news as we have it.

IGN confirms what we already know: the definitive version of GTA4 is the Playstation 3 version. In a recent article they mentioned that the Xbox 360 version was plagued with aliasing while the Playstation 3 version is razor sharp with no graphical impurities marring the image quality. Unfortunately for fans of the series, Grand Theft Auto 4 was developed on the Xbox 360 as the baseline engine, so the Playstation 3 version is severely gimped compared to what it could have been if the title was developed to tailor towards the Playstation 3’s superior hardware specifications exclusively.
Here’s the article excerpt: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/855/855555p1.html
“For the first time, Rockstar gave us hands-on access to both the PS3 and 360 versions of GTA IV. The good news is that no matter which system you prefer, you’re going to have a great-looking game to play. There are only some minor visual differences noticeable between the two preview versions. The 360 build is brighter and has slightly more vibrant color while the PS3 build has less aliasing issues. Both display a solid, consistent framerate even during scenes with heavy pedestrian traffic and wild explosions. While graphics whores will find subtle differences to nitpick, the average Joe is going to be happy with either version.”
