SectionZ from TripleTags.com seems to have found a solution for the LOADING screen lock up that occurs here and there on the PS3. He writes:
"Today both of my PS3s locked up while trying to load GTA 4.
I did the common fix which did not work. Then my brother called me. His 40 GB PS3 was having the same issue. Couple of other friends had the same issue after I called around. They could NOT play GTA 4.
And then it hit me.
WHY would this happen to me tonight after finishing the game without a hitch."
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
As we have all been graced by the release of Grand Theft Auto 6's trailer, we're ranking the best and worst GTA trailers to date.
We be getting these posts All week now lads. Someone noticed a number plate ... Someone noticed a billboard... I can see it now
Just go on YouTube and watch one of the many videos dissecting the whole 1minite 30secs worth.
This site supposed to be for news.
These updates on N4G are going to ruin whats rest of this site. Unfortunate since I was one of the first members.. The site shows unsecure when i login as well.
Grand Theft Auto 4 is an important game for Rockstar, not least because it was the first title in the franchise to use the newly created RAGE engine.
so i'm not alone....other people are having this problem too.
Too bad i deleted my save data for nothing.
I tried booting it 3 times and now it works flawlessly, this game is awesome.
totally worth 60 plus tax
I have a 60GB PS3 and GTA4 has never frozen on me once. Whew! I was one of the lucky ones.
During the initial movie, I was literally praying that it wouldn't freeze because a lot of people reported that the game would freeze during the first intro movie. When the game got past that first intro movie, my heart stopped beating fast and my nerves finally returned to normal.
i hope this gets a patch soon.
KISS(keep it simple stupid). that is the solution of GTAIV patch.
thanx
