I'v read so much about this game in my GI (Game Informer) Magazines and this game should be the best with all new targetting system and much more. I wanna get it.

GTA: San Andreas looked really cool - so this one should be even better {Cool}

San Andreas was the best GTA game, actually it was one of the best games ever. GTA IV should be the new best.

It sounds as if You never played GTA San Andreas?

The graphics are amazing.

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV - Posted By Mason Fett™ (masonfett) on 18th Mar 08 at 7:09pm
It really depends, I've known of games to actually get worst.

I hope its a good game, though I obviously won't be able to get it due to me not having a PS3.

or XBox 360 It's gonna be on the PS3 and the 360.

I have a 360 and plan on getting it if I have enough $$$

No worries Mason, form wat i'v read it's going to be awsome, and even the pple who test played the game said it'ss amazing, with new environmental usage, such as skipping rockets off the ground.

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV - Posted By Mason Fett™ (masonfett) on 18th Mar 08 at 7:15pm
I suppose so, then I might get it. We have an Xbox 360, but it'll take forever to learn how to use it since i'm a ding-bat at the controls.

I've always grown up with a ps2 or ps1 at my side. {Grin}

I'm assuming GTA IV will be better considering they're taking a lot of time on it. As long as it's not like Liberty City Stories / Vice City Stories I'll be glad; those games were worse than GTA 3/Vice City. {Unsure}

It will be better, which is why there was a delay on it's release. Alot of awsome stuff have been added to the game, so expect to have alot of fun.

I was really disappointed by San Andreas - i felt there was too much to do. I love having the side projects but i couldn't care less about making sure he was fit, or he had a nice haircut. It felt like it was GTA meets The Sims {Unsure} . For me, Vice City was the pinnacle: well balanced between mini missions and main story, good music, massive but not too big. Makes me want to hook my PS2 again {Cheesy}

I'll be interested to see how they go with IV. Any idea what the setting is?

To much to do?? psh no. the haircut and fit stuff was optional, although some mission made you do it after you beta the game you could do watever you want.

The setting wil be in NYC. For the time period, i'll need to look back in the magazine.

It's based on New York, if I remember the trailer correctly. {Smile}

Actually, if you do not keep fit, you have low stamina, cannot swim for long, cannot stay underwater long, etc.

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV - Posted By Tim (grievous) on 18th Mar 08 at 11:54pm
Exactly.

I'm just saying it was optional.

Not if you want the game to be fun. {Tongue Out}

tsk tsk tsk. picky

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV - Posted By tricky.cb (crazyblue) on 19th Mar 08 at 12:03am
So.. If you had a bad hair cut you couldn't swim well? o_O

I've never been into these games because my parents always get negative when it comes to games like these. They think that the game will be too vulgar or something crazy.

A lot of the slum cityscape is based on a place I used to live. {Wink}

I hope so, because because I felt the same way about both Liberty, and Vice City Stories. I don't really think those two games were meant to be popular, though. Even when they came out, they were cheaper, and were basically crappier versions of GTA III and Vice City.

GTA IV should be good, but the only negative is the fact that it takes place in Liberty City since Liberty is in two other games already. I think thats what makes San Andreas so fun; it's the only game where you can play in San Andreas. {Tongue Out}

I agree. I'v actually had enough of Liberty city, make a new city, like Los Mexico or something {Tongue Out} {Grin} {Tongue Out}

Lol, or GTA Pokemon.

Make it just like the Pokemon games, but only in GTA style. You start off in Pallet Town or wherever, then you can catch Pokemon, but also run around the map, steal cars, use weapons, etc..

Yeah, I could imagine it now. You just pull out a victory at a gym, then afterwords, you go outside and jack a car off the streats. Then whenever your wanted stars go up, you'll have a bunch of Officer Jenny chasing you. {Grin}

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV - Posted By Tim (grievous) on 19th Mar 08 at 6:24pm
LOL

That would be fun. can't catch me slow woman. {Grin}

Lmao! I'd be stealing trucks left and right. I'd go rob a Pokemon Center. Then whenever I lost a Pokemon battle, I'd shoot my oponent and claim the victory.

I don't know, for some reason, I'm really not all pumped up about the next GTA. I rarely have time for video games anymore. I heard from someone at school that it might be coming out for ps2. I don't know how much I believe it, but its still only a rumor.

The kid that said that is an idiot. nowhere, in my 2 recent GI magazines did it say about it comming out on the PS2, and the articles for GTA:IV were very long.

Thats why I said that I don't know how much I believe him. Its kinda obvious that if its out for ps3, than theres no way that it'll be out for ps2. Hell, I don't even know if its possible, is it?

But I just wanted to put that out.

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV - Posted By Tim (grievous) on 19th Mar 08 at 6:55pm
IF it's possible then I hope it does come out on the PS2, because while I do have the 360, it's gonna be hard tryign to get use to the new control style for the 360.

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV - Posted By Jam_Legalize (jam) on 19th Mar 08 at 6:59pm
It looks great, but I'm not sure about it. I might get it, depends if I see it when I walk into GAME {Smile}

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV - Posted By blanka (blanka) on 19th Mar 08 at 9:48pm
I'm really interested in this game. I have played any of the previous version but i heard its good and that this suppose to be better. On top of that, all my friends are gonna get it the first day, so ill get it just so i dont feel left out.

Can you buy the poor droid a copy as well?? {Tongue Out}

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV - Posted By tricky.cb (crazyblue) on 20th Mar 08 at 1:06am
I don't know if I'll ever get this. My mom doesn't care about my choice of games, but she's never aloud me to get a GTA game because she thinks that they break the limit =/

I'm also not too hyped about it anyways, only thing that sounds cool is the multiplayer.
