GTA IV PS3 boasts Sixaxis options
In the new edition of PSW, one of the latest magazine to review GTA IV, it has been confirmed that the game will boast some options to use the Sixaxis should you feel the need.
The review states that the Sixaxis will be used in the obvious way to drive the vehicles, fly the helicopters and steer the boats in the game. However it does not mention how successful these methods of control are, so we are still a bit iffy on those.
However, the magazine then goes on to mention that the Sixaxis is also used to reload your weapons, commenting that you can reload by simply giving the pad a quick flip upwards.
This seems like a nice idea, and probably one of the better uses of the Sixaxis in a game yet. Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best!

Sony has no say on what is put in the game. This is just a decision by Rockstar.
I think the reloading is a nice addition personally. The Sixaxis steering never worked with any other game though, so I don’t see hope for it here.

I don’t want to start a console war lol, I was just saying that it looked like Sony was trying to think up ways to make their version worth it.
There both going to be the same game but in the long run 360 going to get more, if the DLC is free that is, I don’t know if it is.

The reason the PS3 doesn’t get RROD is because there isn’t 4 lights on the front of it shaped in a circle,and it’s not like the PS3 is perfect, it has it’s fair share of problems, e.g. no games.
I’m sorry I couldn’t resist that, I’m sorry Space for starting a console war on the site lol!
