If you into that sort of thing, Eurogamer have a first impressions article for your reading pleasure. I've been through the first four paragraphs or so and decided that I don't want to know any more; it's not that they seem to be giving spoilers (though, technically, any information at all might be a spoiler) but that I'm sold on the game and I don't want to read any more before the game does its thing.

And for those trawling YouTube for GTA4 videos, the "leaked" GTA4 intro is apparently a fake (source: Eurogamer).

What console you guys all getting it for? I'm getting it for PS3.
On a side note, I do worry a little. If the Xbox and PS3 versions are the same, just ported, then either the PS3 one will not be as good as it could be, or the Xbox one with run like San Andreas did :/. Or maybe I'm just over-thinking this... Stress, lack of GTA...
MUST KILL PROSTITUES ON A LAWN MOWER !! :)

I think that many (most? nearly all?) of us are getting it on the X360, probably because there appears to be a larger core of us with 360s as opposed to the PS3. That said, I'd be interested to hear what you think of the PS3 version, whether it looks like it has lived up to the potential of the PS3 platform.

I hope that (like most driving games I've tried on PS3) they use the triggers. Anyway... That just came into mind when I was playing San Andreas, flying down the 'highway', when the road just turned into a puddle of grey because it couldn't load the thing fast enough :).

I suspect the Xbox 360 version will probably be better than the PS3 version too. I say that and I intend to buy a PS3 during my summer break.

It is well known amongst the games developing community that the more powerful, yet different architecture of the PS3 makes game developing/porting quite challenging.

For example, Colin McCrae Dirt was delayed 2 or 3 months on the PS3 as they tried to use the extra power of the machine. Turned out, the differences were hardly noticeable, so makes you wonder if they tried, found it too difficult then just gave up.

Xbox 360 cross platform games are likely to continue to be better till at least the end of the year until programmers learn how to untap the immense power of the PS3 (which has been discussed on previous threads). PS3's now outsale Xbox 360's and with Blu-ray winning the format war this trend is likely to swing even more in favour of PS3. Microsoft dropping the price of their console is a practically an admission of defeat.

I think programmers realise that the future is looking very 'black' with a silver four letter word on it.

I think by early 2009 we will see the ps3 versions of cross platform games being significantly better than Xbox 360.

Eurogamer have posted their review. I refuse to read it. I've not even gone to the page, just grabbed the link. The game will turn up, it'll be excellent, so why on earth would I spoil it with a review?
