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.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
