You hardly ever see gameplay demos done on the PlayStation 3, unless that game is exclusive these days. Â Probably because the Xbox 360 controller is also widely used for PC gaming, so gameplay demos have a higher percentage chance of at least appearing like they are done on the Xbox. Â Well this wasn’t just any old gameplay demo, it was our first look at GTA V gameplay, and it was done on the PlayStation 3.
So all that beautiful Grand Theft Auto footage that you saw yesterday, was done on Sony’s machine. Â “Just to clarify for those asking, this particular video was captured with footage from the PS3 version of the game,” said Rockstar on the Newswire.
Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 players shouldn’t see any differences between the two versions when the game arrives this September. Â Rockstar has already come out and said that their delivery method will be somewhat different due to size constraints on the Xbox 360. Â The Xbox version of GTA V will ship on two separate discs, one being a mandatory installation disc and other being to actually play the game. Â The PlayStation Bluray has enough room to carry all the data.
Rockstar Games does have a history with Sony. Â Despite leaving platform exclusivity aside for many years now, perhaps this was just a tip of the hat to the company who launched them into the stratosphere with GTA 3.
