Blogs and forums are already aflame over Grand Theft Auto IV freezing during or after the opening cutscene. According to several rumours this happens on both Playstation3 and Xbox360, but not to every gamer.
Rockstar hasn’t officially confirmed the problem and there is no fix released yet.
Most of the crashes happens on Playstation3s with 60 Gb hard drive, though several Xbox360 owners have the same problem.
The 9+ pages on the Playstation Forums recommend that Playstation3 owners delete the game data from the harddrive and then reinstall the game, but according to Rockstar support, this isn’t a guarenteed solution.
They also recommend that you run the latest firmware and have space on your harddrive.
This is probably the worst launch for Rockstar ever. The Xbox360 version of Rockstar’s Bully released last month was also severely bugged. I wonder how the GTA IV reviewers and game testers could have missed this?
Did it happen to you? Or are you waiting for an update before you buy Grand Theft Auto IV? Perhaps this has scared you away from GTA IV?
