Guticb | March 02, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 XBOX 360 
This month's EGM issue has new details on GTA4. These range from the PS3 version having warmer colors while the 360 has more vibrant ones, to tires shredding, cars stalling, and quite a bit more. Also, Rockstar might be releasing episodic content for the PS3. Check out the source for more details.
Sam Houser - "Its Official, Im American now...I can now vote but for anyone but Hillary Clinton. I love America."

The Sixaxis will be used in GTA4 but in a way thats done Right.

A possible MMPOG GTA in the future. May be subscription based.

Beat up cars will eventually stall, leaving you to flee on foot.

Tired will shred apart when they are shot.

Ps3 Version will have warmer colors while the 360 version will have more vibrant colors.

Tap Up on the D-pad brings up the Cell phone. Up a second time brings up the key pad.

There are several different cell phones you gain through out the game. the basic has contacts, organizer, camera, and multiplayer mode. The MP3 version is obtained later in the game.

You can kill anyone and everyone, even your contacts.

      Though to be honest, a GTA MMPOG sounds unlikely in my opinion. Still, maybe...

    "You can drop grenades out of the vehicle while driving. you can also "cook" the grenades."

    I honestly can't wait for this game.

    You can even kill your contacts? Thats..interesting. Something that confuses is me why the PS3 has more warm colors and the 360 has more vibrant colors?

    What exactly does more "warm" colors mean? The game will look more orange?

    @ iLLmatic and Incidnia

    I think it just means slightly more orange-ish. If so, then I'm disappointed.

    Why is it that the PS3 versions of games are always washed out (aka warm colors), instead of being just as vibrant as the 360?

    I thought the Cell would've allowed something like that.

      Washed out = lacking color.

    I don't think warm colors are automatically a bad thing. One reason I think Madden football never passes that line of true realism is because of the overly vibrant colors. It makes them look cartoony. The lack of color and/or gritty style of Gears of War and Killzone simply give them a different look. One other thing to take note of is the fact that with many reviews, the PS3 isn't setup to take full advantage of the graphics output. Its just plugged in and turned on. If you want to get the best out of a PS3 game, you have to mess with the settings, whereas the 360 is ready to go immediately.

    You guys obviously haven't been keeping up. I think you're all basing this mostly off of the GameTrailers comparisons that have been done right? Well GameTrailers has admitted to not turning enabling the "RGB Full Range" display options which enhances the colors on the PS3. It's already been addressed that the PS3 and the 360 end up having nearly identical color palettes.

      Oh yeah, I remember everyone talking about the RGB Full Range when GT did the Assassin's Creed comparison.

    Ugh. Forced sixaxis use, and warmer colors? I'm getting the 360 version for sure. (the downloadable episodes already had me convinced)

    But uhh.. yeah. I would no doubt buy a GTA MMPOG.

      I didn't see it say anything about forced SIXAXIS use, it just said done right. That doesn't mean you have to do it, just that it's implemented in some ways and the ways that it's been implemented are reasonable.

        I'm sorry, I just don't like any games that try to force the Sixaxis on me. I didn't buy the PS3 so I could swing a (two handed) PS2 controller around.

          Well you're in luck...unless you like games like Lair, there are barely games that force you to do so...and even if they do, it's for a short period of time so you can calm down now.

    Why do people think warm colors are worse then vibrant colors?? They are both equal in terms of beauty. Neither is better then the other it's just a different style.
