Well they say the 360 TABLE TENNIS game was sort of a big test for their next generation game engine called RAGE and that's what Rockstar has said they are designing GTAIV with so maybe its being built for the 360 first and foremost. Pre E3 2005 Rockstar said something about the game being designed for the PS3 specifically. I guess we will know more tomorrow.
how about which system will it look better on? the ps3 just look at all the other games that look better on the ps3.. almost all of theme20Dylan
Hmmm, Gamespot did a detailed head to head comparison of the PS3 and Xbox360 and Gamespot (not me) claims the Xbox360 plays most cross platform games better. Personally I find it hard to tell much of a difference but it seems the PS3 struggles from an inadequate number of PS3 programmers. Just much more development talent available for the MS platform (PC/Xbox). That is why it's very likely GTAIV will be primarily built around DirectX/MS tools. PC + Xbox360 platform = MUCH LARGER installed base than PS3.
Well all the past console GTA's have been made from the Playstation brand and then ported to the 360

Well that was when the PS2 had more installs than the Xbox. Now with the Xbox360 having much higher install numbers and the MS platform is FAR more accepted among experienced programmers I doubt they will start with PS3 and go the other way. Just doesn't make sense with the limited market of the PS3, limited developer experience with the platform, and larger install numbers of PC/Xbox360 (DirectX).

That's because it was the weakest system and they could just build upon the engine from there. The tables have turned a bit this gen though since the PS3 is arguably the stronger of the two. If anything, it's built from the ground for each individual console. It ain't no brand name thing.

Actually it was because *cough* ps2 ,more consoles sold *cough*,now the tables have turned because 360 has sold more consoles.
it was started on ps3 years ago even before they had dev kits and they were just working on PC with specs sony sent them. they barely started porting the 360 version last year when MS shelled out the dough, we all know rockstar loves sony and they make sure its best on playstation everytime. when people thought MS was releasing GTA4 as exclusive last year rockstar quickly told everyone that is not the case, and now they are making extra downloadable content that is suppose to be beter on ps3 cus of the biugger HDD but we will see.
