More news for those who are eagerly awaiting Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto 4 (not soon after the big update just a while ago too). A recent 1UP podcast revealed new details on the game, specifically on its FPS (frames per second, of course, not first-person shooter!) rate and its development on the PlayStation 3. Details in the full article.

Bad news, good news, more bad news, and more good news for those who are eagerly waiting for the release of Grand Theft Auto 4 (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360). A recent podcast from 1UP reveals more info on the game.

Ok, first the bad news: Grand Theft Auto 4 will run at a constant 30 FPS for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions. Only 30 FPS you say? NBA 2K8 has double that! Well there’s the good news for you, if you look at it another way.

Remember that GTA4 is a sandbox game, and you can do a lot of things as well as go to a lot of places. A lot things can happen all at once in that wide, wild world. 30 FPS is great. Always look at the brighter side of life, so says Monty Python.

Now, on to the other bad news. The PlayStation 3 version, which played a factor in the game’s delay, is slightly behind the Xbox 360 version in terms of development. However, the final good news is that both will still be released on the same day.

So there you go. If you want to listen to the podcast yourself, follow the link below. You might also want to take a look at the big GTA4 update posted a while ago in case you missed it. We’ll keep you posted.
