GTA IV-Ps3 to have 5 Minute mandatory Install+Sixaxis Controls
287
Skip, the writer of the 1Up Preview of GTA IV has recently posted on Negoaf adding a couple new lines of Information, First of all his Preview was of both builds of the game and originally didn't include the comment about the 360 controller and he has no clue why that was edited in. Secondly the problems he wrote about are pretty minimal and only very slightly noticeable. But The most important info he gave out is that the Ps3 version has Sixaxis controls for Cars, Bikes, and Choppers along with a 5 minute Mandatory Install. The R* Employs he was with also said they "think" the Ps3 version looks slightly better, but Skip says playing side by side he couldn't tell the difference and that the opinion of the R* employees he was with didn't match the opinion of all the dev-team @ R*.

Per the "article" (a single post on the NeoGAF forum), it is optional.
That "first review" also said the PS3 version had split-screen co-op and the 360 version doesn't. I think we'd have heard that from someone else by now, if it were true - that's a pretty significant feature difference.

"Yeah, apparently R* didn't get the memo: the Suxaxis is already dead and buried. o_0"
No it isn't. My DS3 controller also has Sixaxis. I think a better use than controlling vehicles though is controlling where bullets or other weapons go. Maybe have a rocket launcher and use the Sixaxis to control it. I don't care for motion controls in cars. Airplanes are okay. The Sixaxis is great if used properly. It just isn't perfect for everything.

Interesting that the PS3 version requires an install, but whatever. No big deal. Though I'm sure the fanboys will be saying "LOL I CAN PLAY GTA4 5 MINUTES BEFORE YOU LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!" I am more curious how much space the install takes. After all, some PS3 owners only have 20 gigs, though they can at least upgrade the drive if they need to.
I wonder if the install time on the PS3 will help with texture pop-in and pedestrian/car traffic vs. the 360 version, or if it's just there to optimize the "no load screen" streaming that GTA4 uses. It's possible that the PS3's Blu-ray drive can't handle streaming as well as a DVD drive, but honestly I don't know enough to claim either way.
The worst part about GTA4's impending release is knowing that all of the "PS3 VS 360 GTA4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111" videos are just around the corner. And knowing good ol' N4G, every single damn one will be submitted and approved.

2.3 - These differences are why I'm buying both versions...
I'm as hardcore a GTA fan as you can be. I preordered the 360 collectors edition for the DLC but still want to see the differences the install and sixaxis bring.
Plus I have friends on both PSN and XBL and want to be able to play multiplayer with any of them.
I think ultimately a lot of duel console owner hardcore GTA fans will end up buying both versions. Especially if the differences are "fairly" significant. These differences sound significant enough for me to warrant owning both versions.
EDIT: I see some bitter one console owner did a phantom disagree. Hilarious. haha "You're either with us or against us"

If that info is right then the 360 would stream data at 133ish mb/sec and the PS3 would stream data at 72 mb/sec and don't forget the seek times will be longer for the blu-ray disk as it's larger and has more to scan over.

yeah buying both has crossed my mind... I might just do that. It's an option I have thought about because I have a lot of people I play COD4 with on XBL and it would be cool to hook up with them online.
But first I will play my PS3 version and see if I really need to add the 360 version. (I think after I start playing on PS3 I probably won't need to do the 360 version) I think it will come down to how well I can meet up and play people online, and if the multi-player option is really that much fun that I need my COD4 crew... We shall see.

2.10 - Yes the 360 has a 12x DVD drive
but the thing with DVD drives are the speed is variable, meaning it will run at different speeds depending on where the data is on the disc, try a drive speed test on your if you don't believe me, whereas Bluray was designed to keep its constant speed throughout the disc.
So in certain situations the 360 drive will transfer data faster than the PS3 drive and vice versa in other situations (can't remember if DVD drives spin faster on the inner or outer of the disc)

easy guys
the dvd turns at 12x speed BUT that doesnt mean you get the 12x datarate tahts not true.
first of all the 360 uses 8x (12x is only used on single layer disks with you dont see taht often on nextgen) and secondly is bluray CLV while dvd is CAV
CAV: The drives transfer rate is
variable. Information on the inside tracks of the disc is read at
approximately half the speed as the information on the outside of the
disc.
CLV: The drives transfer speed is linear or
constant regardless of whether information is on the inside tracks of
the disc or the outside.
means blurays deliver a constant amount of data while dvd dont, on the first part (inner circle) the dvd is faster but on most part its slower then the 2x bluray of the ps3.
quote:
"PS3's Blu-Ray drive is not slower than thw 360 DVD at all. YOu have been fooled by Microsoft PR spin.
The 2x Blu-Ray drive in the PS3 is CAV, which delivers contstant data rate of 54Mbit/sec across the entire disk surface.
the 8x DVD drive in the 360 (12x read speed in the 360 is only used on single layer discs, which are rare), is CLV, and whilst 20% faster than the Blu-Ray at the outer edge of the disc, ends up 40% slower at the inner edge of the disk.
What this means, is 360 can deliver about 200MB of data from a DVD, 20% faster than the PS3, but for everything else it's either the same, or drastically slower ( over 4GB of data on a DVD9 is slower than PS3). The Blu-Ray delivered the exact same rate of 54Mb/sec across the entire surface, regardless.
All your link shows, is either how naieve or biased Ars Technica are."
this sums it up pretty good

2.12 - Oh please
Don't criticize every fanboy to that degree. Regardless if you wait five minutes or not for the mandatory install 360 owners will play it once popped in. It's not a fanboy comment it's a fact. Now every Sony fany claiming the motion capabilities of the controller to be some godlike feature, now that's hilarious considering the lukewarm perception from most gamers. Either way at least it's five minutes and not twenty. Now all we need to know is what it fixes or does.

In the Dualshock 3 it still has six axis, so it's a win-win situation. If the game doesn't include rumble I'm pretty sure that a patch will be released.

hmmm,
very true but i think ultimatly their gonna be the same not including the DLC, regardlessly i pretty much never download DLC unless its free or extremely good, if i had to choose between ps3 and 360 version
360 version DLC has to blow me away(the only games that has blown me away is the first time seeing GT5Prologue and FF13 provided FF13 and Versus that it's in game which im pretty sure it is)
One thing though, if you had to choose between 360 and ps3 version, a logical person would choose 360 incase(incase being the operative word) it has good downloadable content(not buying game twice or waiting till DLC is released). The only reason to choose the ps3 version would be loyalty to GTA and its roots.
It's not good to go out of your way to get a console specific to loyalty or DLC, you gonna pick the console with the games you think are best whether it be PS3, 360, Wii or even a Game boy.
If you own a console, get it for your console, if you own both, choose what's more important to you? Loyalty to a company full of people you don't know(provided your a ps fan) or the "oh so specatcular" DLC that will make the 360 version "The ultimate experience" end sarcasm
Everyone has their own opinion
Edit: Im probably gonna get disagrees so let me get onething straight, i have a ps3, i am not a fanboy and likes to think logically. Im not bias to one system over another just pointing out the facts. Just becuase i own a ps3 doesn't mean im dead set on screwing the 360 version

yes reliability does come into a factor, 360s fail, some never do, some always do
ps3s fail too, i have had 3 fail on me(to be fair sony sent me back 2 defective units that were probably damaged during delivery so i blame puralator, the delivery guy was leaning the box agaonst wall with his leg, not even holding it,when i answered the door, twice)
overall ps3 has a much higher reliability than 360. It is an important factor but to me, i care about the games, not about reliability, i picked ps3 cause it had the games i enjoyed the most, pure and simple

Its rather simple to explain the installs.
since bluray reads only one part at a time it would take to long to move th elaser to the outer part of the disc (wich also turns at a slower speed then the inner parts) so as a dev you load some parts of the disc to the hdd to prevent those "long" laserhead movements on the disc.

6.3 - Wrong
Blu-Ray disks are read at a constant speed, while DVDs are read at a slower speed as it gets closer to the center. HD-DVD / Blu-Ray are read at a constant speed, so it stays constant 1x throughout. While, DVDs (DVD9) well read at 14x to 4x as it gets to the second layer.

7 - It will be interesting
rumors are that the 360 version is brighter. That doesn't mean better or worse. So it's a matter of opinion.
It's weird that some Rockstar employees actually said they "think" the PS3 version looks slightly better. That's coming from 1up themselves.
There's gonna be a lot of comparisons and a lot of argument over this.

Ravin go easy there fella you might explode the disagree button on this site from the fishheads going crazy that you expose facts.
I can see why $ony allows you to change the HDD out now. That's just a sliver of the titles on the POS3, I can't imagine how those are going to add up for a person who purchases all the games like what 5 years from now.
Going to need a 1TB drive to hold them all. Or delete them and waste more time waiting to reinstall them. Oh wait, isn't that in the service agreement for the console. "Must be ready to wait, and wait and wait".

These attacks are very stupid.
I would prefer have 20 decent games that can stream from the HDD, than 20 hardly good games that I don't get to play because of RROD.
Nah joking, RROD is looowww....
But seriously, saying that is stabbing yourself in the foot, because you can still play without install, and 360's don't even have hardrives as standard.

I dont care what games have to install if it helps them run/look better. I've got a 250GB HDD in my PS3. Lots of Southpark, Heroes, Rome, Dexter, The whole series of Neon Genesis, Pornand still plenty of room for game saves and installs.
However everytime I download a demo or video on my xbox I have to delete something. A 20GB (make that 13GB of actual space) HDD doesn't go very far.
I cant believe you Bots have the nerve to flame over Hard drives. You must be getting desparate.

Can't even make heads or tails of it, anyways seems like fanboy editing in it. Rockstar employee's with him said PS3 has the visual edge but some of the dev team at rockstar dissagree? and so does he?. Its going to come down to do you like the Lair look or the Geow(vibrant turned on) look

Fishhead21 you totally seem like the kind of insecure pecker who would take something so trivial and make a big deal out of it.
1up says they look the same, the DEV TEAM THEMSELVES disgree and say they are the same. You have one mention of R* employees saying they "think" (so there not even positive) that the POS3 may look better. If anything you should just be happy to hit the same mark as the 360 since most multiplatform games on the CRAPSTATION (tm) look like garbage and play like garbage compared to their 360 counterparts.
It must just be killing you that you are getting an inferior partial GTA IV.
@Beagle21 below:
All 1 of your friends is buying the POS3 version eh? You do know that blow-up dolls don't count as friends right red coat? No you didn't speak for R* but your first post on this article which does speak for R* employees and where they got the "think" it looks better, to which the devs disagree with. What system are they doing all their demo's on? The 360 version and you always put your best foot forward. The game isn't far from release and you know there will be a ton of comparisons we will get to the bottom of which one is better.
I am not in any of the stupid vgchartz fake/guess posts because there is no need to comment. They are made up numbers and even if it showed the POS3 winning by 10mil units I would not believe it and will not acknowledge anyone who uses their numbers to say their machine is winning. Japan for sure, US for sure but for everything else it's just made up and we have no idea who's winning in EU/Other. Show me some solid proof from a reputable tracking source and I will be more than happy to take a look. Also, the Falcon 360's are very quiet. Stop using material from 1.5 years ago for your arguements before I start talking about how the POS3 has no games.

It must be killing you that you are the one getting the inferior version. Your opinion is crap next to the dev team.
Here is a clue, dev teams do not like to admit one version is superior so when they finally cough up one looks a little better then it really means it looks a great deal better.
I will take the install over the crappy 360 frame rates.
What are you really getting? The version that looks worse, pop ins, bad frame rates, poor spawning of AI, fewer civilians, fewer cars, and your solution for getting crap is that you get some more crap you have to pay for later this fall? You know the time when Little Big Planet and Killzone 2 are kicking your ass? Pathetic. That makes a lot of sense.
"Hey Tommy, this frozen pizza isn't that good and certainly it isn't near as good as that steak over there. And the steak is the same price. But let's be dumb and have more frozen pizza, okay?"
Here is a hint. A few side missions in Liberty City won't mean squat when the Helghast are all over you.

I have to go with PoG on this one instead of what the army of fisheads says. I mean think about it how many times we have had previews, screenshots and multiplayer sessions done on the 360 instead of ps 3 ?? Doesn't it make you wonder why ?? What are they hiding ?? My bet is that they are "almost" the same with 360 slightly edging out the ps3.

I don't mind the 5 minutes install as long as we get better graphics and less framerate problems. Serveral gaming sites have already claimed that the ps3 version has better graphics, so I am not so suprised about this. I am just preidcting that the ps3 version will be less framerate problems.
Why does the 360 version have no install? May be because they can't since harddrive is not standard, thus resulting in slightly inferior graphics and framerate problems.

"They're the same atleast!. Because we all know multi platform games are better on PS3 when its not the lead *wink* *wink*.
1up would end their reputation falsey tagging issues on PS3 and if PS3 did not have issues it should have been clearly stated that the PS3 version has either not been played through or that it does not have these issues. lol
Why wasn't it pointed out" this is only the 360 version why didn't they say *the PS3 version has yet to be played through* or *the PS3 does not suffer these issues*.
I think they're worse on PS3 no amount of attacks will change that(360 fans don't try to destroy non praiser and 1up knows it).
PS3's RAM use will have you guys crying as soon as some reviwer has the balls enough to come out and tell it how it is.
All the smarter Sony fanboys are not jumping all over this useing this as a chance to bash 360 because they know better. Sony fanboys sense somethings wrong, this is why hardly any Sony fanboys are in here" or should I say there doesn't seem to be as much as there should be."

The PS3's RAM is approx 4 or 5 times faster than the 360's RAM, it's more efficient with less latency, hell, it's even the best RAM out there, plus, PSM3 stated that the PS3 version is graphically on par with the 360 version and the frame rate is extremely smooth.
http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News...
Seems like the 360's inferior hardware is too weak to keep the game running at a stable frame rate. The PS3 however, shouldn't have a problem, I wouldn't think them issues would of affected the PS3 version aswell, if it's been coded properly that is...

POG, No one has to be a PS3 fanboy to realize the PS3 came out on top in GTA and the 360 received the crap end of the stick. You just have to be a smart gamer willing to see the damn truth.
You are so used to swallowing crap from people like Shane Kim - what did he say today, "The 360 HD DVD player is still great for playing DVDs and it adds an extra 2 USB ports to the 360" Any twisted crap to keep you acting like the sheep that you are.
The entire story about lemmings following blindly was actually faked by Mutual of Omaha decades ago. But if they had seen you walking blindly, swallowing crap like a honey dipper, and obediently defending a pack of lies they wouldn't have needed to fake the story.
Do you own a PS3? No. Therefore anything you have to say about it is irrelevant because you have no experience as an owner. Your words are worthless. You can't speak from having been there and done that. The usefullness of any breath coming out of your body is of no value and no use at all. None, zilch, zero, nada, nechevo, null.
