There certainly seems to be plenty of little details being thrown into the fourth true iteration of the ten-year old franchise, including a wide variety of behaviours from NPCs, and several unconfirmed multiplayer modes, but the article also reveals one of two interesting notions. First of all is the apparent restraint being placed on Rockstar North thanks to Microsoft's decision to release the harddrive-less Core version of Xbox 360, something that the Oblivion team at Bethesda Softworks can no doubt relate to. The Xbox 360's DVD player is also cited as something of a restraint in the article too.

If this is true, then that's suck!:cry: :cry: . Look like R* should've built the game from ground up for the PS3 first IMO

I hope so man. Really, I hope every single game is ruined for the PS3 due to the 360 being so inferior.

This article is BS. Rockstar in their latest interview stated that both the 360's DVD drive and PS3's Blu-Ray created challenges and that neither was perfect. And what does the core have to do with anything? They will optimize the game for the core and if the game recognizes you have a HDD on your system the game will be optimized for that aswell. Same thing Oblivion does. You'll just have longer load times with the Core unit.

If your lowest target doesn´t include a harddrive you have to compromise.

It would be very interesting to know what the challenges they had with the Blu-Ray drive
