Gta IV is right around the corner.

And right now my biggest concern is to either get it on the 360... or the PS3...

No difference has been stated between the two aside from episodic content on the 360... so right now it's pre-ordered as a 360 title but my big concern is the texture effect that was present in mass effect. Where most of the textures would show up bit by bit... slowly. (It sucked big time to see your character engaged in a conversation and slowly get more detailed with every word he spat)

Anyone heard anything?

Am I the only one anxiously waiting for it (and hoping there isn't an EA sticker on it) ?

[Hamma]

I'm still pissed the PC gets shafted yet again, I refuse to buy another console and have it go into storage after I play one game on it. :\

Will be waiting for the PC version in a few months.

[Baneblade]

Ditto. I just hope the PC version gets the last laugh when it has more features than the kid's version.

[OneManArmy]

I wouldn't hold your breath on that one. Rockstar has never been a big PC developer. well since it made it big I mean.

and hate them or not, consoles are where the games are. I wish my PC saw more action but the sad truth is my 360 gets 10x the amount of play time. excluding 500 MMOS under development not much is on the PC front.

Starcraft II is here.

Kid's version? Are you saying that because I can afford to have a good PC and consoles on top of which that I'm a kid? Go stereotypes?

I dunno but I like my consoles and my pc just as much. I'm not much into fanboyism.

[Hamma]

I just refuse to pay more into the machine and rape PC's even more.

I get 300000 uses out of my PC and the console has 1 use then it just sits there.

I've bought 2 consoles in recent years a PS2 and an XBox, both I played for a couple months then just put under the bed.

Plus FPS's suck balls on consoles - mouse and keyboard forever. Only reason Console's see more dev time is because the companies are greedy and see all the ways they can rape customers for more extras as "downloadable content" that PC folk aren't going to pay for

I don't really care if the game is the same or better on the PC as long as it comes out on it. There are still plenty of games coming out on the PC that I want to play. Been playing alot of TF2 and COD4 MP recently. But in recent months so many games were announced as console only or console first.

My favorite being that new star wars game that looks awesome (The Force Unleashed) is going to be console only. Their reasoning that the PC can't handle the next gen psyics that the consoles can.

Which is complete bullshit because they are releasing it on the Wii.. and even the DS... give me a break

It's not about money.

I've never had much respect or liking for the psychological profile of people who play consoles enough to actually have more than one. I'd rather have my computer do it all, much more efficient.

And yes, I consider consoles, kid stuff. Even the socalled hacking and modifications are amusing.

'OMG I chipped my XBOX! woot'

I actually don't have a whole lot of free time on my hands but I prefer to have the options. The only thing that kept me playing my computer that I just got is Crysis and Neverwinter nights 2 (Old game I know still good!).

Oddly enough I have plenty of games on both systems most of which I haven't even finished or started yet.

Go-go psych profile stereotype. I don't play a whole lot on XBL and when I did, I do admit kids are rampant at peak times (any online has plenty of that) but when you play at night like I wind up doing most of the time when I can or want... it's mostly normal people just having a good time and not calling everyone a *** or ******...

It's like saying everyone that has a PC is an elitist piece of crap. "OMIGOZ! YU ANT GOT QUADCORE! YOU SUX!!" *points at the SA forums* prime example right there.

I think we can all agree:
Douche bags are everywhere and PC gaming ain't what it used to be.

[Hamma]

here here!

[Mag-Mower]

So, uh, back on topic? Im probably getting it for the PS3, just because I have my XBL subscription coming up in a few months, and I dont feel like renewing it because I never play on Xbox Live. I also heard that the PS3 will be getting episodic content, just different and a bit later.

[OneManArmy]

I thought MS had bought the rights to episodic content for 2 years or something?... or well maybe they just bought rights to the first two... I can't remember.

[Mag-Mower]

Im not certain on the episodic thing. I heard somewhere that there might be content for the PS3, but it wasnt anything official.
