It had 3 islands in the Liberty City on GTA 3 so i would imagine they are keeping that part.
And GTA hasn't been a PS exclusive since Vice City if they did get it from this GTA onwards it would definatly tpersuade me to get a PS3 as well as my x-box 360
You only need to look at Uncharted: Drakes fortress to see what GTA4 could have looked like graphically had it been PS3 exclusive. Mid you i can't wait to get it!
I have heard rumours that the next GTA (GTA5?) has been locked down as a PS3 exclusive.
Will never become an exclusive to either console. Rockstar would lose too many sales. And if Rockstar wanted to they could easily have a set of designers working purely on each version.
Most of the reviews at the lower end are because A) "It does nothing new" B) It doesn't have multiplayer.
Any knobchop that takes reviews as said is a knobchop.
It has an 89 on metacritic, that's not an average review for a PS3 game. Even for knobchops. Sorry, this is Naughty Dog, and the game is fecking brilliant. You knobchop!
