MOSE Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Finally managed to get hold of a copy of this last night and gave it a few hours last night. Not really sure what to think of it tbh....am not a car game fan and its going to need to get far better for me to sustain any interest in it.

bullett Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Is anyone having any problems? Specifically PS3 players? It taking me 2-3 attempts to initially load the game from start up and then it randomly freezes. This seems to be an issue all over the gaming forums.

bazza_g Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 My brother called me about this yesterday - he got a PS3+GTA4 bundle so it's the first and only game he's got at the moment. Initially the game refused to go past the first loading screen, then after a reboot he got an error and the PS3 displayed something along the lines of "rebuilding hard drive". On trying again it did the same but he left it for a couple of hours and eventually it started installing something and now its fine.....very sketchy! I'm collecting a copy he's got for me on Monday so fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin09 Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 I'd had one go on GTA, then the next morning I turned on my PS3 and the game wouldnt load up. It said 'HDD drive corrupt, press O to format'. So I had to format it and have now lost my saves from all my games, which is a pain in the ass. Apparently if you switch the console off at the back, it can happen quite easily. Luckily I hadn't got far in GTA, but I had Spurs top of the league in pro evo with the season almost over.

bazza_g Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 I've had a look around the web and it certainly sounds like there are plenty of gamers having big problems with GTA4 on PS3 and 360 - Sony owners having to format hard drives and x-box owners ending up with dead consoles seem pretty common.... As a precautionary measure I've just backed up my saved games to a USB memory stick, thanks for the warning Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riz Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 I`m worried that my PlayStation3 might pack up..... so im waiting until a solution/fix is out. Dont really want to lose all my HDD data!!! Riz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin09 Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 You might end up with a very dusty PS3 then Riz! The best thing to do is never turn the console off at the back until its powered down completely. Otherwise the HDD can still be working as you cut the power. As bazza says, back it all up and you should be fine anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza_g Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 I've backed up the saved games to a memory stick but one of my jobs for the day is to make a full backup of the PS3 hard drive - hopefully that will save all the setup/config as well as the photo's and music stored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omi Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Almost finished the main game, I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSE Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Apparently it is the network features that are causing problems for GTA. I read on a forum that by logging out of PSN solves the issue, so tried this and havent had any problems since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullett Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Yeah, I'd seen that but not had time to try it as yet. Still, how the hell this got through Q&A with such a major bug/problem/issue is going to seriously tarnish the whole, play games on consoles nothing can go wrong and it will just work thing. Maybe it's the same as with the PC. As they can now patch games easily after release they release an unfinished product and hope no-one notices.

bullett Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Played for a coupe of hours last night. Logged out of PSN first and didn't have any problems so that looks like a solution for me (at least until a proper fix comes along). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
