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.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.

      The nerve of Google to sign this.

      I don't understand the vision. Do people really want to buy a new computer from Dell with 6 browsers installed? We all keep asking for Microsoft to stop having so much junk on their OS, and adding a bunch of browsers seems to go against that. Ideally, we would just be asked what browser we want during OOBE but Google is just going to pay Dell a bunch of money to include Chrome. Additionally, would you want your phones to start including all the browsers too when you get them? The only thing I ever wanted was to be able to uninstall IE or edge and I believe you are now able to. I do agree that microsoft needs to chill with their "are you sure you don't want to try edge before you install chrome" ads when going to download chrome.

      It is notable that around 70% of web browser users choose Google Chrome. However, it is puzzling why anyone on Windows would opt for Chrome when Microsoft Edge is often superior in many aspects and comes pre-installed. Edge collects less data, uses less RAM, and is more optimized for Windows as a native Microsoft product. While some may point to bloat in Edge, much of it can be removed with simple tools, requiring no more effort than installing Chrome. Meanwhile, Chrome reportedly downloads large amounts of AI data (4 GB) without explicit consent. I'm sure you Chrome users love that, or? Here is one example of a tool that doesn't even need to be installed to be able to use: https://github.com/TheBobPony/MSEdgeTweaker Although Microsoft’s aggressive promotion of Edge may be questionable, the browser’s current advantages make it a preferable choice over Chrome today, even if Chrome may have been better in the past.
    • JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more by David Uzondu Image via JetBrains IntelliJ 2026.1.3 from JetBrains has landed, bringing several highly requested bug fixes that target common UI glitches and terminal rendering issues. If you run tmux inside the integrated terminal, the IDE no longer renders the cursor above the active line. The Markdown preview bug, which was fixed in this release, had annoyed developers for quite some time, as the preview pane failed to render images saved outside the project directory. Instead of displaying the actual image, the IDE simply showed a broken image icon, a problem that stuck around for two years before this update. Over on Windows, developers running WSL can now use wsl.exe to spin up their environments without losing terminal functionality. In previous builds, launching a terminal shell with something like wsl.exe -d ubuntu inside a Windows-based project broke both shell integration and active process detection. Other bug fixes in this release include: An issue where Gradle sync incorrectly reported success as a failure on WSL when using Gradle 9.5.0. A syntax highlighting bug that flagged valid Java for-loop initialization blocks with multiple statements as incorrect. A warning bug that triggered a false non-null local variable alert when using JSpecify annotations. A database generation bug that hid the option to use a DELETE statement instead of a TRUNCATE checkbox. A Kotlin highlighting failure where an assertion error in the Gradle redundant library inspection broke error highlighting. A UI bug where the ComboBox popup lacked a maximum height restriction. A Snowflake syntax error where DataGrip failed to support the "create temp" command. A Svelte syntax parsing failure that incorrectly flagged quotes inside inline expressions. A VCS repository manager deadlock that triggered thread pool exhaustion. A memory leak where the LazyTree component kept all previous versions of a tree in memory. IntelliJ 2026.1.3 is the third bug fix release for the IntelliJ 2026.1 series. The first one landed back in April with a fix for the WSL Python interpreter freeze, another fix for guest participants using Emmet abbreviations, and corrected WildFly server deployment errors.
