3. @1 You're quite possibly the greatest person ever born.

On topic: This is some pretty fantastic news. Who would argue with the long delay if it means 16-player GTA online? Sounds like a fair trade to me.

Also, I'm interested to see how R* handles squeezing the entirety of Liberty City onto a single DVD9 to accommodate a certain other stone-age "next gen" system ;)

Probably the same way they plan to get around the lack diversified RAM on your "next gen" system.

5. @3 Wondering how they are going to fit it but well they will figure it out. Dont want to start a flame war. But this is will be the greatest sand box game of all time and a contender for best multiplayer experience.

6. @4.
The non-diversified RAM and limit of DVD9 both suck. RAM issues can be remedied by HD cache-ing though. The only workaround DVD9 size limit is extremely aggressive data compression/decompression, which will cause lag and more load times. Assassin's Creed already said they were having a hard time with the 360 DVD9 size limit, but they didn't say peep about having issues with PS3 RAM. I think that tells you all you need to know about which one is the larger problem.

7. Oh, and a firmware upgrade could allow the 256MB currently reserved for System memory to become available for applications too, it's not limited by the hardware. It's the OS that determines what goes in and out of RAM, not the hardware. No firmware upgrade is going to increase the size of DVD9.

I think another thing to add is that developers are not used to programing for the PS3 yet. This will be remedied with time. Nothing can be done for the dvd 9 problem, unless they started making games on HDVD's for xbox.

10. I'm most excited about the hinted at multiplayer mode where you chase down your friend, the criminal, or vice versa. I hope this is still happening. I think playing basically cops and robbers could be really fun.

12. Wouldn't it be great if you could create your own gangs(clans) and fight for turf in GTA?

That would be sweet.

13. Good news this is. GTA SA had all locals unlocked at the beginning, the only thing was if you went to any of the places the story hadn't led you to yet you would get an immediate 5-6 star police wanted level.

I wonder if they will do that or do something like "Just Cause" where you literally can go everywhere at the beginning.

MP will hopefully be more than DM run and gun.
