Re: Grand Theft Auto IV Discussion

I'm not going to turn this into a ps3 v 360 thread. I personally am getting it on the ps3.

@ beefers - that's what I meant, when the screen blacks out, it's loading the building.

The way the devs have made it sound is no black outs, thats how i took it anyway.

Any one that is interrested on reading an interview with one of the animation artists from Rockstar can read it here.

Also stuff about weapons and combat here.
