Rumor: New PS3 firmware may fix GTA problems

In spite of a patch, many PS3 owners are reporting problems with Grand Theft Auto IV. While a number of solutions have been suggested, many are hoping for a better solution. According to one post on the PlayStation forums, a Take Two representative said the issue was "with the launch edition of the PS3" and that "the game was checked over and passed as 100% compatible with the current version of the PS3."

"Connection has been lost to one or more players, returning to single player"

If anyone has any idea of how to fix this please let me know.

TheHater5844d ago (Edited 5844d ago )

I have yet to have my 60GB launch ps3 froze while playing GTA. So It much be just a select few that have the problem

LSDARBY5844d ago

Ive only played online once cus of this, i just cant connect without this message poppin up.

Varsarus5844d ago

I've had no problems playing online, it's really fun tbh :P

TheExecutive5844d ago

hey hater, so explain to me how every other MP works and I have no lag whatsoever? If I thought it was my connection I wouldnt have posted.

If you are going to respond to my comment, make it intelligent and useful, if not well move on.

prunchess5844d ago

I have a 60 gig euro launch model and have had no problems online ever!

PS360WII5844d ago

The 60 gig Euro PS3 doesn't have the chips that the Japan/US 60 gig has.

1stKnighT5844d ago

That's easy. Just get the 360 version. Problem fixed ;)

riksweeney5844d ago

360 version suffers from the same problem, it's just M$ won't acknowledge it.

1stKnighT5844d ago

If you want to believe that Rik than go ahead. Whatever makes you sleep better at night.

TheExecutive5844d ago

well i dont have freezing issues. My game froze once during loading.

What i did was log off of the PSN and I could suddenly play the single player.

However, after I did this I logged back on and could play the Single Player but now i cannot play online :(

So, my game froze once and now my MP is acting up. However, my MP worked fine before the freeze...

season0075844d ago

i like how you call PS3's problems as truth and xbox360's as Riks..

o well, yea whatever, it all comes down to personal preference after all...

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

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."

ChasterMies18d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken18d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing6918d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker18d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6918d ago (Edited 18d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt18d ago

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.

just_looken18d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

Wasn’t the Table Tennis game the first to use RAGE?

isarai377d ago
