Well, I finally went and reserved GTA IV (paid in full). Can't wait! Reading all the articles from various sites isn't really helping either, :lol:. I recommend everyone at least check out IGN.com's articles, there's three or four of them, all of which are 3+ pages long.

I'll be going to the midnight launch for GTA at BB here in NY. I refuse to read any spoilers/leaked videos or any of that crap. I have Tuesday off so I can enjoy the game in peace.

I've watched about 30 seconds of the leaked video, which seemed to be the intro to the game. But I stopped, didn't want it spoiled.

However, I can assure that the IGN.com articles don't give any spoilers to the story. They're about the story behind the game (not the actual story), detail, and multiplayer.

I might also be attending a midnight launch at one of the local GameStops. Not sure how big of a turnout it'll have though, the newer store took away a lot of it's customers.

I'm going in fresh too, Larry. I'm all about playing games naturally. All I've seen is the trailers; that's hardly enough to solidify any ideas in the back of my head about characters and what not.

I've got the DAY off, but work @ night on the 29th.... that'll be a long day. Perhaps the midnight launch could happen at my store? That'd be kick ass...

"Furthermore, the DLC that Microsoft paid for is a timed exclusive and the same DLC is scheduled to come to the PS3 after. Early reports are stating that the PS3 version will have a more realistic look unlike the cartoonish look that the 360 will have. Lastly, there is talk that the ps3 version will have more pedestrians and vehicles roaming the streets than the 360 counterpart and this is due to the Cell processor."

Okay, and how is a more vivid color scheme a downside? If you look at every multiplatform game thats on the 360 and PS3, every one of them is that way. The PS3 has always had dull colors compared to the 360. If you go by the concept art/artwork for the game, then the 360 version is how the game is supposed to look.

I just wanted to throw that out there. I imagine the two versions will look pretty close to the same. Did you see the IGN review, the game got a 10-wow! The game must be good.

I would imagine that all sorts or comparisons will be flooding out of the door once tuesday hits. I'm getting mine @ midnight on monday, so I won't be around to tell how awesome it is for a day or so lol...

Hilary Goldstein did mention that the PS3 version does run a tad smoother, and that the 360 had a little more texture pop-in. But I believe the 360 version does have a better draw distance, which does tax the CPU/GPU more. So be it, :lol:.

I bet GameTrailers will have a comparison video, I'll love to check it out.

And where exactly was this "timed exclusive" part mentioned? And by whom? From the beginning, I'm pretty damn sure it was exclusive completely.

Yeah... I think 50 Million is a little too much for a year of exclusivity (assuming that's what the duration is, if any); even for Microsoft...

Oh, here's a link to IGN.com's video comparison of 360 vs. PS3. It's not the direct IGN.com link, because it's Insiders Only.

http://www.rockstarwatch.net/news/469/IGN-...he-PS3-and-360/

Not really anything noticeable that warrants a platform change.

Ya know, I was thinking abour what I posted about the "timed exclusive" crap, I think it's a bunch of BS because Rockstar wouldn't confirm it to the source because R* would be afraid M$ would sue them, because talk of this would be grounds to call a breach of contract. And I'd think M$ would sue.

But I'm still getting it for PS3 so I'll give ya a short review of it when I get it. I'll get it on Tuesday

Gametrailers gave it a 9.8

EDITED BY SpartanZypher: Reason, corrected the review score.

I'm the closing manager at my store and it's my choice to stay open @ midnight if I want to...

Nah... I think I can wait.
