Rockstar Games has admitted that the company experienced initial challenges when getting Grand Theft Auto IV up and running on the PlayStation 3.
Speaking to 1up.com, Rockstar Games Founder, Sam Houser, commented, "Getting things running on the PS3 initially was challenging.”
"I think it was challenging for a lot of companies, but it’s also a machine where, now that we’ve got comfortable with it – I don’t want to say we’ve cracked it, but we’ve got comfortable with it – we know we can make our games,” he added.
Elsewhere, Houser also touched on the differences between the PS3 and Xbox 360 version of the game from a visual standpoint, stating, "We’re at a point now where the games pretty much look identical side by side.”
"There’s a slight difference in the way they look. I think that’s to do with really low-level technical stuff that I’m not the guy to explain. The 360 games have a certain look to them; PS3 games have a certain look to them. I like the way [the PS3] renders. There’s a certain kind of softness without being blurry – some warmth to it – and then there’s a certain more clinical element to how the 360 looks."
"Both have plusses and minuses. As far as I’m concerned, they’re neck and neck now,” he said.
Grand Theft Auto IV is due out worldwide on April 29.
