Grand Theft Auto IV (Warning: Spoilers)

even though the PC release hasn't been announced yet, I already weep for my graphics card

 

I hope this somehow comes out for the Wii althought it wouldn't look nearly as good.

 

Liberty City again? Pfft...

Russian mafia will be cool, though.

 

SOMBODY STOP TEH BILL GAETS BE4 HE XPLODES TEH AMERICAS CHILDS WIHT HIS XBXO VIDEOGAMS!!!!!!11

 

Liberty City again? A bit disappointing.

This game better be bloody good to make up for the unoriginality!

 

Anyone seen the Trailer? ...i think its mostly showing off the graphics, not too much of the Car and people...and its somewere in america!

GTA4 Trailer

 

Yeah, somewhere in America and you can't tell where-- what with the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the "Getalife" building...

 

Yeah, but LC is much more like NYC than in the previous games, it's completely different.

GTA IV FTW!!

 

has this been confirmed to be LC???

It sure looks like new york lol.

Looks fantastic. It is coming out on 360 right?????

 

Yes, you can clearly see "Liberty City" on a cargo ship, and a ferry, and you can also see the "Liberty Tree" newspaper being advertised.

It is coming out on the 360.

 

Damn, I can't stop watching it, it's amazing!
I love the music, I love the graphics, I love the new LC!!

And no, I don't love the russian, but he's cool

 

I love Jack Thompson, or.. Only if he tries to stop the selling of the game on PS3. But if he try to stop the selling of 360, I don't like him.

 

Hm, ok...


GTA IV ON PC PLZ!!

Easy enough to say, but from the descriptions above it just sounds like GTA III only a lot more detailed.

 

Can't wait, I've loved all the other GTA's. Hopefully it gets placed in a present setting.

 

Apparently it is. Didn't you see the trailer yet??

 

Rockstar is back. I love it.

For some reason every time I hear the lead guy's voice, I get this "Teddy KGB" type of vibe. If there isn't a mission that involves dumping bodies in the Meadowlands, I will be very disappointed.

GTA has dabbled in Russian mobsters before, and it was only a matter of time before they got main billing. They're notoriously meaner than the Italians, too, which should give Rockstar plenty to run with. Here's to Kalashnikovs, shady ex-KGB types, and more Red Dawn references.

A few observations:

• The graphics are awe-inspiring. I don't know any regular GTA players who expected this level of improvement. The first game in the series that looks to be legitimately beautiful.



• A modern timeframe is the right move.



• Russian mob? Sounds good. After one viewing though, I know more than a few people (myself included) who thought he could possibly be from the Middle East. If Rockstar had Jupiter-sized balls, this game would be a $60 international incident. Still, I expect a healthy dose of post-9/11 satire.



• My love for the Koyaanisqatsi series has been reaffirmed.



• If the teaser showcased anything, it was how Mongoloid in love with this game I'm going to be when I fly an Apache into Times Square and start handing out daisies...made of fire.

So, will there be any Gorky Park on the soundtrack?

 

No planes, so probably no helicopters too.

 

Was hopeing for a London game. Would have been great to crusie around on a scooter with Laurel Aitken playing in the background while gunning down Mods. All I want is an updated Grand Theft Auto: London. Rockstar, make it happen.

 

Sounds like I'm going to have to finally upgrade to a PS3

 

You'll be missing out on the 360 exclusive content...

 

We can hope they will go back to Vice City level with the air travel rather than GTA: III.

Still an Apache will be unlikely or nearly impossible to attain if it is in the game.

 

According to this article, this seems to be the case. Lots of confusion could have been avoided if a certain person had simply said something to the tune of "there are no plans to include fixed-wing aircraft." (emphasis mine)

Like how you did not want to try it in Vice City without the police uniform? That said, I for one want to see not only the return of uniforms with actual gameplay benefits (and as actual outfits, not 'wrappers' over existing wear as is the case in San Andreas), but something akin to Mercenaries' disguise system.
In the meantime, let's see what the developers could learn from other current games, shall we...? Scarface: The World is Yours boasts one of the best targeting systems I've seen in the genre (I suspect they learned from Everything or Nothing); fuse that with limb hits actually meaning something (thank you, Crackdown) and the result would be appreciated by most.

 

The video and screenshots have me very intrigued. There's no doubt I am getting this game.
