PS3 is superior version, it's understandable

Hydrolex3906d ago

360 doesn't even lift bro, everyone knows that

SuperLupe3906d ago (Edited 3906d ago )

Sony wrote a check for a publicity deal so its understandable. Just like they wrote a check for Destiny exclusived timed DLC and what have you.

Saddam_hussein3906d ago

Sweet. Where did you read that?

ZodTheRipper3906d ago

lol @ "forgot"
You don't forget such things when making a 20 meter long advertising banner.

HammadTheBeast3906d ago

@SuperLup

Unlike CoD or BF4 timed DLC, Destiny has exclusive content. Not timed.

gaffyh3906d ago

This is pretty normal actually, just like on Ass Creed ads, they only mention PS3 for example. On a side note, that's a huge advert, never seen one that big in UK.

SilentNegotiator3906d ago

@zod

Uhhh, the size of the banner would have nothing to do with someone's capacity to make a mistake.

That said, it was probably just a placement funded by Sony.

AngelicIceDiamond3906d ago (Edited 3906d ago )

Its obvious no other site picked this up...

Except N4G.

Its super obvious Sony have an exclusive deal with R* which means "not showing the other console" and you have comments like @Abzdine.

You see posters like this relating to COD every year on Xbox.

Your commeent makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Care to explain what your comment means @Abzdine.

Bet you bubbles he can't explain without sounding like a fanboy.

Never heard of a developer get paid for a lead platform . However , the advertisement and exclusive content are paid from sony which MS do too so i wouldn't make it a big deal right now ..

Mainman3905d ago (Edited 3905d ago )

If the X360 isn't mentioned in the add, then Sony probably subsidized the add or something.

This happens all the time btw. There are a bunch of adds on tv, banner's etc for multi-plat games that only mention a single platform. This is most likely due to the platform holder sponsoring the add instead of the publisher.

brodychet3905d ago

I'm glad they do it. All those XBox360 commercials. For COD, and The Elder Scrolls, the commercial always ends with "get it now on Xbox 360!" Leaving all other systems behind.

Ezz20133905d ago (Edited 3905d ago )

both versions will be fine
and every one will enjoy a great game
but i'm happy to see sony is doing good job at marketing games on ps3

Ares84HU3905d ago

Not sure which version is superrior but let me say this: a ton of times multiplatform games were just advertised for the xbox 360 while there was no mention of the PS3 version and no one really cared (in the gaming journalism world). Now that the tables turn it's suddenly unaccaptable and news worthy??

Give me a brake.

snipab8t3905d ago

How could you possibly know that?

yess3905d ago (Edited 3905d ago )

@ AngelicIceDiamond

"Its obvious no other site picked this up...

............

Where N4G is using other sources for it's article's.

Do you even know how N4G works o_0

tokugawa3905d ago (Edited 3905d ago )

shock horror... a company paying for the advertising

and seeing as they are creating a bundle with a picture on the box, is it not obvious that some money changed hands for advertising??

thekhurg3905d ago

@super -

The destiny stuff is not timed, it's for the life of the game per the interview with bungie.

DeadlyFire3905d ago

I detect a timed PS4 exclusive deal possibly in the works.

Perjoss3905d ago

"PS3 is superior version, it's understandable "

The 360 version of gta4 ran at a higher resolution and had better frame rates (then ps3 version).

I'm just saying

ps3 is the superior version might as well start getting your titles on the ps3 so your trophies can transfer over to the also superior ps4. its best to get started now because xbox one is dead boy and girls.

im gonna be playing the heck out of gta on the ps3 because playstation is where 3d open world gta started.

scofios3906d ago (Edited 3906d ago )

Nobody wants the 5 disc version :-)

Kingdom Come3906d ago

360 Versipn is two discs, one for the game, one for installation...

ThatCanadianGuy5143905d ago

lol two discs.It's been 8 years since i bought a DVD disc, let alone a 2-disc dvd set.

contradictory3905d ago

i still find it amusing that it's a thing...
last time i bought a game with multiple discs was Final Fantasy IX in early 2000's...
although do keep in mind that i haven't bought any pc games since....ever...?
yeah, the latest pc game i got was Star Wars BFII
and even that only had one disc haha

Kurt Russell3905d ago

I don't see a problem with having an installation disc personally... The game will run off 1 disc after that horrifying 10 mins :/

Video Game remakes would like to have a word with you MR. Yolo.

hakeem09963905d ago

How stupid are you guys are . Everytime you see a poster with only one console mention is because that console paid for the damn poster or commercial .This should be comment knowledge for everyone by now . I hate this kind of fanboys article .Gets stupider each time

Protosism3905d ago

"Stupider".

Stupider.

Huh.

StoneyYoshi3905d ago

Don't know what comments you are seeing, but just about everyone above you is posting with knowledge of the ad being sponsored by Sony. And your angry and poorly written post just made me chuckle.

TwistedMetal3905d ago

don't be so naïve and you wouldn't get fanboys if you and everyone else just supported the better system the ps3 and the ps4. butttt nooooo you have to go full retard and lose bubbles and peace of mind because you want to be a fanboy. if you cant beat playstation then join playstation so you can relax and sleep at night lol. its the best system anyways so what is your problem with playstation for christe sake?

irepbtown3905d ago

Check out: www.imdb.com

Ad on top is for GTA V and only shows PS3.
I think Sony have paid R* good money :D
I know I'll be getting it on PS3.

H3ADWOUND813905d ago

WTF is comment knowledge? I'm winging it here but don't you mean common knowledge? Off ass my laughing...

this is great news for inner fanboys but a normal thing in gaming now a days, just like COD,BF etc dlc exclusive for ms

TOGC3906d ago

Most likely PS3 exclusive stuff this time around.

Cam9773906d ago

I guess Rockstar prefer the PS3 then? This is absurdly strange...

SideShort3906d ago

Seriously? Not even. This is no different than the PS3 logo before every assassin's creed commercial on TV. Can't believe this can spawn an entire article now.

PSVita3906d ago

Exactly, there are so many commercials that only show the Xbox logo at the end. This isn't news.

hennessey863906d ago

The fanboys have a field day GTA 4 was advertised for the 360 shock horror, companies always have exclusive advertising going on like FIFA with the ps3 http://m.youtube.com/result...

Elwenil3906d ago

Most like Sony may have paid for part of the ad. No different than all the multiplat game commercials that ended with the Xbox logo.

Rockstar Need to Learn From This Mistake for Grand Theft Auto 6

Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 5 are both classics, but movement and general interaction sometimes feels like you're possessed by a fridge.

Cost of realistic looking movement.

lucasnooker33d ago

Rockstar need to learn that 12 years of work and 5000 employees doesn’t account for one persons opinion on the internet…

Profchaos33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

Oh and hundreds of millions of dollars in revanue to boot.

Lots of complaints about gta ever since the hd era started and yet it's bugger than its ever been with gta vi up to 180 million trailer views alone. The next game is shaping it be be another genre defining game

MetalGearsofWar32d ago

They already learned they dont have to actually make a great game

sagapo33d ago

The controls of RDR2 felt a but cluncky indeed, but it’s not as bad as some make it out to be. At no point did I get the feeling my experience with the game was held back or ruined by the controls.
But it can never hurt to optimize them a bit, sure.

Zhipp32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

I did accidentally beat someone to death a couple times. An unfortunate mistake but besides that I didn't have any problems with the controlls

jznrpg33d ago

Red Dead Redemption felt clunky at first but I got used to it fairly quick. I thought 2 was easier to control but it could be my experience with the first game helped me out. Great games

Profchaos33d ago

I wouldn't call Rockstar games characters clunky instead they feel like they move with Weight they are not twitch controls press x to instantly snap onto cover the characters instead move like a actor would ducking behind cover they are exposed while they get there.
