However, I'm dying to see some actual gameplay footage. But I get the feeling we won't get any untill the game releases atleast.

Oh well, atleast they acknowledge that the fans need atleast something to keep the hype alive.

Can't wait for this game, definitely my most anticipated game of 2008.

Yea Me2, Dout we will see any intil the frame rate is at least close to fixed. Nice to see R* releasing some decent quality screens :)

Gamingisfornerds6004d ago

I remember the previewers got to see the game a few months back and they did say that the game was very unpolished and there wasn't much going on, on screen.

This time around things should be progressing a lot better, but I doubt it's running smooth yet. I guess the trailer is choppy because they simply haven't gotten everything in place yet (optimized etc) and took the poor framerate for granted when putting together a trailer from the ingame engine.

That said, I think the game won't end up running completely smooth anyway. The previous GTA's were pretty choppy as well so let's just hope this time things will be better, hopefully atleast no extreme pop-ins.

But indeed, untill it runs atleast somewhat acceptable, I don't think we'll be seeing any ingame footage either.

You know, I'm really trying to get back to being excited about this game, but the truth is that after DL the new trailer from the PSN, I'm realizing that Rockstar is (NOT DELIBERATELY) shafting the PS3 owners on this amazing PlayStation franchise.

I say that because the trailer just looks like Rockstar is really holding back on the looks of this game just so they can develop it for the BABOONBOX360's DVD9 crap.

Seriously, the game looks a little better than San Andreas, and now Rockstar is giving us this?...I'm not sold on this game just yet, and this is coming from a huge GTA fan.

STUPID BABOONBOX is really starting to agitate my gaming experience....AAHHAHHAHAHAHA

Is it wrong of me to wish that I hope every BABOONBOX360 in the world EXPLODES, and that pieces of the shiet hardware smack Peter Moore on his HUGE forehead for putting together a system that would limit developers with what they want to archive?

EDIT@ Pooped Vendetta - Drink my man juice you BABOON. It's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. If you don't like it go be a fanboy somewhere's else you BABOON....AAAHAHAHHAHHA

"I wouldn't expect anything more than 30fps @ 720p"

You've just earned the trophy for the BABOON of the year. If you think you'll be getting 30fps @ 720p on the biggest sandbox game ever in full HD using DVD9 technology, you just OWNED yourself you MORON.

Halo 3 = 640p and that's not even sandbox game.

Ass Effect = Chokes on its own vomit and that's an RPG.

I swear it's like you BABOONS really DON'T use your brains. Rockstar needs to hold back on this game because of the 360 limitations. No if ands or buts. Hence rumors are already starting to spread about it's 5th installment being exclusive to PS3 along with L.A. Noir(or whatever it's called).

BABOONS go for the BABOONBOX360...AAHHAHHAHHAHHA

Hooded Vendetta6004d ago

Dont learn do you, grow up kid.

Arkham6004d ago

Oh my ckuf, please stop your ranting/trolling.

Now that that's out of the way, I don't think Rockstar is intentionally gimping either version (harddrive streaming aside). This is *the* sandbox game of sandbox games, so I wouldn't expect anything more than 30fps @ 720p. As long as they can fix the popup and slowdown issues that has played the series with its last engine, I'll be happy.

I'm really looking forward to more cross-platforms games that--like COD4, Burnout:PC, and hopefully GTAIV--show that both systems can be on par with each other given sufficient development time and expertise. Cross-platforms games should unite gamers, not divide them.

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."

ChasterMies20d ago

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

just_looken20d 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

CrimsonWing6920d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker20d 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!

KyRo20d ago (Edited 20d 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.

CrimsonWing6920d ago (Edited 20d 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.

Profchaos20d ago (Edited 20d 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_Frampt20d 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_looken20d 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?

isarai379d ago
