We got a good sandblasting when getting hands-on with Spec Ops: The Line, so we returned the favour with a full video interview with Yager and 2K Games.

A few users have reported they're having problems playing Grand Theft Auto 4 online with the PlayStation 3. Sounds like it's a known issue, presumably just related to the number of people trying to play online at once given its brand-newness. Anyone on Xbox Live noticing any problems?

I've not even tried the multiplayer aspect yet--single player is too engrossing!
Hopefully it'll all be sorted by the time I get online.

Played last night online with XBL.

Playing with 2 other mates, we joined the "Party Mode", once we were all in, we joined a multiplayer game type. Every time we tried, one of my mates could not join, he kept getting a connection error. Asking around in a few multiplayer matches, it was happening to a few people. Probably because of all the excess load last night.

Looks like people on both versions are having trouble with lockups and multiplayer

Nope. Online has been nothing short of fucking awesome. Played most of last night and didn't run into a hitch.

more or less identical, they both have different flaws and different positives.

Turns out the PS3 version is a slightly lower resolution, in favour of some extra effects or something.

I like the freezes even better...
Had it freeze today, on powering back on, found out all games were corrupt had to restore the OS (after first copying all save games to mem card).
I now need to download GT5 again..........

Update : PS3 is bricked, thankfully still under warranty and is getting replaced in the next 10-14 days

did you have a non-AU copy hyperJ?

why the hell would it brick your ps3 ..

Posted 10:31am 03/5/08
Nope, straight from KMart, I am guessing the problem was caused by the GTA freezing issue, the only way to reset the PS3 was to turn power off (even holding down on/off did nothing) in doing so damage was done, the guy at Sony support said I would get another PS3 back with some updated components, so my guess is there is a known issue.

slightly concerning, I'm playing brothers copy on 360 atm but I've ordered a UK copy for PS3 and my PS3 is a few years old now - well out of warranty
