GTA IV online multiplayer 360 exclusive

http://majornelson.com/archive/2008/02/12/show-267-the-one-with-don-mattrick.aspx#comments

That' s what Don Mattrick (the guy who replaced Peter Moore *sniff*) said in the newest edition of Major Nelson' s blogcast. Personally, I dont really see this being such a great thing, considering how " awesome" the multiplayer in San Andreas was. On the other hand, though, if the MP in GTA IV allows you to do more, i.e. free roaming, this is something that would make the 360 version clearly the better one.

No...

FFS!!!!!

First we have Shane Kim not even knowing that Resident Evil 5 was announced for the 360 a year before he thought he was announcing a new release, and now we have another MS exec not knowing the difference between Episodic Content and Multiplayer.

Peter Moore, please come back............

Most wanted games:

Mass Effect
Assasins Creed
Crysis
Little Big Planet
Drakes Fortune
UTIII
Kane and Lynch
Heavy Rain
Alan Wake

Nitro definitely, " Does the work" !

It would be completely stupid for Rockstar to do something like that, specially when both consoles are capable of running the online multi-player parts. Microsoft paid for the extra download content, so it is understandable that they get it, but not doing online for the PS3 would be like Rockstar flipping them off, which is not good.

Are you too ADHD to read the whole thread? Go to Nitros link, its not true, the Don M. idiot has no idea what he' s saying.

I dont want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate.

If anything, there will be excusive online modes or game types - maybe characters skins/clothes/vehicles/weapons etc...

Microsoft have secured exclusive DLC and it would make sense for some of it to be for the multiplayer component.

I' ll likely be buying the 360 version anyway as the PSN is still terrible.

In any case the game will sell more 360 copies than PS3 copies.

I have only played the GTA games on Playstation, so I am a little worried as to how well the 360 controller will work for me. It' s like what was said about Devil May Cry, it just plays better with the PS controller.

Hasn' t the control scheme been altered for 4 though? I' m not a fan of the original, and I adapt to control changes well, so I' m not worried a bit about the 360 pad.

In GTA, the only thing I liked about the PS controller over the Xbox controller was the cheats were easier to do on the PS controller. But I dont think there will even be cheats on GTA4, because it would make achievements to easy. Of course, they could go the same route that Saints Row did and make it to where the achievements were cut off if you entered cheats.

That' s how it is with a lot of games Chef. They disable achievements when you enter god mode, low-grav, whatever. It keeps things interesting, though I don' t see why they bother. They' re called cheat codes for a reason. It' s not supposed to be fair, and frankly, if someone can' t figure out that cheating gets them an upper hand, they' re not intelligent enough to deserve the gamerpoints, as far as I' m concerned.

Yeah, it' s kind of bad. Peter Moore was probably different because he came from Sega. You know, real gaming companies ;)

PS While defining said game company as real, quality wasn' t included as a defining factor anymore :P

the disadvantage the xbox controller had over the ps2' s in San Andreas was the fact that doing drive-bys were nigh on impossible as you had to use the black and white buttons and unless your fingers were atatched to your hand at funny angles. At least GTA4 with its different weapon controls have solved this anyway.

By your logic, Nintendo' s Reggie wouldnt be talking out of his ass all the time.
