1080p native? :woot:

PS3 games don't tend to have 1080p written on their boxes unless native, unlike 360 games.

Doubtful, most probably up scaled.

Though it says only 3MB for the hard drive, at first I think woo, no installing, but then that is probably just the save file.

GT5 Prologue didn't have on the back how much it was going to install, hopefully it will be optional for GTA4 or at least do it while loading like uncharted, and not say like DMC4.

If it is upscaling, what's the excuse with every other PS3 game then?

PS3 doesn't upscale unless you force it to by unchecking 720p in the menus :/

Yeah the 3mb has nothing to do with hard drive installs, im sitting looking at my GT5P case, and it says 250kb minimum :laugh:

Well, you have to admit that going from "delayed and bad frame rate" rumors to full blown 1080P is a bit doubtful.

Yeah true.

Either Rockstar has some questions to answer or else Sony do.

Maybe the firmware update before GTA4 will enable 360 style 1080p upscaling for every PS3 game?

I didn't read anything up for multi player but I would just wish 360 and PS3 gamers could unite on online multi-player

Especially for GTA IV, my other friends reserved the PS3 version and to feel that disconnect of not having multi player due to the difference in online services is kind of sad..

bad frame rate could be a 1080p thing so frame rate fixed = 1080p support

I highly doubt that. I'm not saying It's impossible, not at all ... But very few games are pulling off 1080P and looking like GTA IV at this point. The amount of action going on, the vastness of the game in 1080P just screams "No way" to me.

But it is Rockstar, let's just wait 18 days and see what they came up with.

Edit: Just saw the new videos at the official site, the gun sounds are amazing, wow!

Official site has been updated btw - multiplayer section launched..

Saw this cool thing which is in the game - the ZiT service

You hear a song on the radio, the dj doesnt tell the name of the song

You use your cellphone, dial a number and it gives you the name and artist of the song AND it ads it to your Rockstar Social Club profile so you can buy it on amazon easily :o

Its kinda like TrackID on SonyEricssons

It's only a display case so it may be incorrect.

?

I highly doubt it's incorrect.

It was pretty much confirmed Helicopters can optionally be controlled with the sixaxis - Read/seen that somewhere.

Where? If it's true my point still kinda stands though... the requirements and features on the back of a display case aren't necessarily true.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.

      The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
