Grand Theft Auto IV dated News

Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Tom Bramwell

24 January, 2008

Grand Theft Auto IV will be released simultaneously worldwide for PS3 and Xbox 360 on 29th April 2008.

"We are so excited to be releasing Grand Theft Auto IV," said Sam Houser, founder and executive producer of Rockstar Games.

"We've pushed ourselves very hard to make something incredible and hope the game sets a new benchmark for interactive entertainment."

As we heard this morning, that pushing now includes using a mobile phone and having a drink after work.

Check out our GTA IV PS3 and Xbox 360 gamepages for more.

It'll be the same pattern as always. I'll book the day off to play it, they'll delay it a week and the boss will say "Tough" (and then point out that I'm a sad bastard for doing this).

Of course the PS3 version will be better. It's basically fact what with all the extra levels and flying cat addons that the PS3 version will have.

That was meant to say 'car' but I'm happy to leave it.

No, I think he meant the PS3 version will be Beta, as it won't be finished, obviously.

"Grand Theft Auto IV dated"

When I read that my first reaction was "Yeah, it is pretty dated". I just hope I'm wrong and they fixed the shoddy game mechanics.

Well GTA IV wasn't led on the PS3 so I'm swaying more toward buying the game for my Xbox 360. I guess the reviews will ultimately make my mind up for me but I'm going to guess at the PS3 having a worst framerate and poorer anti-aliasing as is typically of most multiformat games on both systems. Hopefully it won't but it is nice to have the choice of which version to go for.

I think it will be identical on both systems. The game was finished last fall... What's taking them so long is they've been trying to make the PS3 version on par with the 360.

Loved the beta comment.

Having some experience as a European PS3 owner and the treatment we get from SCEE and lazy developers, I'm adopting a slightly cynical stance on the whole simultaneous and lest we forget at-least-as-good-as release on both formats.

Please let this one buck the trend and steer the PS3 out of late'n'lazy port road (yeah I know there are decent PS3 versions but they are few).

seem to remember Sonic 2uesday for the Megadrive classic so imagine it will do well. just hope it beats Crackdown, and the saving and restarting missions options are not as per San Andreas

I read somewhere they're trying to optimize the smoke signs comunication system for all the PS3 users who don't have an headset.

I laughed so hard when a collegue asked, in disbelief, after I saw him playing CoD4 online, how the heck did he talk with his team mates: "but..., but..., can you talk to other ppl while playing in a 360?"

Lets see - the game was meant to b out in october....and then the extra content was meant to b around spring so lets say april...that means we should either see the content around the date the game was meant to come out, or they release it around the summer drought

who knows (apart from Rockstar and MS)

If you got both a 360 and a PS3 then choosing a platform for this is a no brainer. The 360 will have exclusive episodic content!!
