Not a huge deal really, but it's just a one of those little things thats cool. Might be considered a spoiler to some:

Has it been confirmed that there's absolutely no local/offline multiplayer? I was really looking forward to it.

Apparently the PS3 is selling at least 2x as many and even 3x as many copies as the 360 in Europe and Australia.

I bet Rockstar is second guessing their "exclusive" 360 content.

I don't have a specific place that stated just google search and you will find the answers. It appears this game is a big console mover for Sony.

Well the maturity of the MS servers blow away anything that the PSN has to offer even though PSN is free. I guess you get what you pay for.

I'll be getting the 360 version, and might rent the PS3 just to compare the multiplayer networking capabilities and FPS.

The HD is only available in QuickTime for some reason.

Lol considering MS paid them 50 million dollars, I doubt they are second guessing. Besides, when all is said and done, 360 will have sold more copies.

Well, you have to remember that Sony has much better market share in those territories than here in the US. If the PS3 was closer in sales to the 360 here in the states, the ratio of copies sold between the two would a lot closer to 1:1 than it will be.

Wow! Thanks for all the replies guys!

I think I'll pick up a PS3 so that I'll have a blu-ray player and play MGS4. I've always loved Sony systems for their rpgs as well.

The multiplayer sounds amazing though...are the sony servers that bad?

The score doesn't surprise me. This game is going to be legendary.

Yeah, Ocarina of Time on N64. I did a search for 10 and that's the only game I found before they posted the GTA4 review today.

The closing comments mentioned Soul Calibur from '99 on the DC, which is confirmed on GameRankings.

 

[RS8]

I picked up a PS3 last week just for this game (until MGS comes out in June lol).

 

[Reckoner]

I'm sure this game will be great, but a 10? Come on..

They stated in the review that Soul Calibur was the last previous game that they gave a 10. So that makes 3 total

 

[randay]

im totally not getting this game until we get the final verdict from vian.

 

[indamixx99]

I've never played a single GTA game in my life. Would it be worth it for me to pick up a copy of this game? For the 360...

No. Why would you get into it now?

 

[hdeck]

so the people that already have the game got it from places that broke the street release date or are they not in the us?

outside of people who downloaded it. It seems that it mostly stores in UK/Europe and Austrailia that have broken the street date.

I haven't seen anyone in the US/Canada that has proven that they have it.

I have patience. We've waited since word of the delay from November till now. what's a few more days?

I thought they gave Jade Empire a 10 also, but that may be another site.
