i am annotating what he said:

"it's 100% true, the ps3 is a bitch for dev for(when talking about a possible mass effect port)

"I talked to the guys at rockstar, I was just there on Wednesday talking to them, they will not say publically, but they are having a hell of a time with the playstation 3 version.   I'm very curious to see how it's going to end up running, they have been using the 360 version a lot longer, the only reason they came out with the pingpong game was a test for them to test their engine to see if they could understand the 360 architecture to see when they came around to deving gta4 they would be that much ahead of the curve, they didn't have access to the ps3 ahead of time, and they have been really having a hard time.  these guys are some of the best in the industry, they have to make sure they are as close as possible.

no one will ever say that but take 2 is anxious to get this out, it has cost them over 100 million dollars to develop."

Id think its more of a Rockstar situation, then again im sure they'd like to get the 360 version out already and spend time fixing up the ps3 version while they GET SUM MONEY

GTA sold 100 mil altogether?

R* is a good company.  Midnight Club, GTA, and Table Tennis all were decent games for different reasons.  I'm sure they are putting a lot more effort than usual in getting their first big game (and GTA game) of the generation to look good and play good.

R* owns. Suck my balls.

Dude. PS3 version better not delay my fucking game of the year again. They said before that the ps3 version is merely 2 weeks or so behind on schedule, so I assumed it was okay, but if it's this bad, just delay the goddamn ps3 version because I want my game already. The game is pretty much done on the 360 side it seems.

Both versions were fucked when the last delay came along.  They gave the same line every dev. has given so far, storage and ram, but the truth is it wasn't close to release.

Okay.

But do you think it's feasible they may delay it for the ps3 version

Can somebody explain in easy terms for distinguished mentally-challenged fellows like myself that don't know anything about computers, why one machine is more difficult to make games for than another? Aren't there standard programs that are used to make games?

in easy terms.  no there's not.  the architecture of the ps3 and the xbox 360 are very different so games have to be coded differently to make them run efficiently

R* has never been a good developer from a technical angle.

yes they would.  two marketing spends  :wag
Aslo dcharlie is a bit off base on his analogy.

Let me know where your game launches.  I"ll buy both versions.

I remember my friend worked on the PSP ports of the GTA games - he got the games running at a better framerate than their PS2 cousins, and R* said "wtf is this shit, we can't have you punks pissing on us... slow the fucking game down". So my friend just put in more trees until the framerate was halved.

What the shit.

Did VCS get the same benefit from 333mhz that LCS got? 333mhz version of LCS looked better than the PS2 by leagues.

That's where I have to disagree.  They may be fantastic content creators, but they've always been far below par when it came to delivering on the tech side.  I was surprised that GTAIV looked as good as it did in the trailers, to be honest, but I still have a feeling that the final game will struggle on both machines (framerate wise).
