GTA4 on the PS3 used a sucky resolution of 620p (unlike the xbox's 720p). i wonder what rockstar have done to appease the PS3's tricky hardware this time round? EDIT, while i've still got plenty of other games to play, i just watched the trailer and wouldn't mind trying it. i'll wait for the price to drop and some fixes to come out though. apparently its really buggy.

It's getting reviews like 9.7 out of 10.
And of course it's buggy; It's not officially even out until tomorrow in the states and friday over here.
The fact of the matter is, games get sent to print now with about 4-6 weeks until launch, when the game still isn't 100%.
They use that 4-6 weeks to fix more bugs and - hello Mr launch day patch! Which these people complaining of "bugs" likely won't even have, since it's not out yet!

Unlucky mike - perhaps we can help you come up with some fantastic, ridiculous reason to call in sick?

Also mike - if the rumours are true, Sony will be announcing a paid, subscription-based version of their PSN at this years E3. It'll basically be just like xbox live, then. So....why not just bite the proverbial bullet, succumb to the inevitable, give M$ a couple of quid, and play with us on xbox live?

I predict GameSpot will still give it a healthy 9.x
So, trade in some shit games you don't want/ need and get something good for your monies!

Game looks awesome - really the sort of game I'd love to get into now too. Not played anything in 2-3 weeks, no time for WoW and not really that interested at this stage of the expansion. An hour of Star Trek online put me off for life.
Still flat out refuse to get a console, hope this gets a proper port to the PC sooner rather than later as it does look excellent.

I know how you feel Fal. I brought my Xbox PURELY for GTA IV.. But music based games also played a part. Now this GTA 4.5 will fill my console gaming void until GTA V is released

Games that are specifically written just for the PS3, Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2 for example, piss all over anything the 360 can do. The visuals in those 2 games despite their age, are still better than anything the 360 does now.
However, cause the hardware architecture is so crazy compared to the 360 (8 cores that you need to designate tasks to, or summat) ports often suck, as we can see.
Still, better machine than the 360 in every way...

And my PC beats both of them hands down, so let's quit the console-fanboyism!

Actually, I imagine the PS3 is capable of running games better than your PC...
I've said it many times, if I could easily use a mouse/keyboard with a console, I wouldn't even bother with my PC, given the savings i'd make on upgrades and hardware...
