Rockstar having problems with 360’s “limited capacity”

The GTA franchise has already gathered a strong following through out the years. With Grand Theft Auto IV though, the fan base will be divided between the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 (PS3).

If you have the former and therefore will be playing the video game title on that platform, we suggest you take this next one with a grain of salt. This is part of the interview conducted by the Official PlayStation Magazine (OPM) with Rockstar Creative Vice President Dan Houser:

OPM: On PS3 you’ve got a guarantee that every machine is going to have a hard-drive and, with Blu-ray, you’ve got plenty of storage, whereas on Xbox 360 there’s no guarantee of a hard-drive and you’re working with the DVD format. Does that create limitations?

Houser: Yep.

 

As if realizing what he just uttered, Houser followed up the rather short answer with, “To be honest with you, we haven’t solved all those riddles yet. The difficulties aren’t limited to working on Microsoft‘s box. Both have enormous challenges, both have their own particular pleasures and pains.”

However, Rockstar is reportedly giving a select group of press people a demo and preview of Grand Theft Auto IV using a 360. We guess we’ll all just have to see when the game becomes available on October 16.
