Grand Theft Auto IV

Well it's going to be Liberty City again, except it going to be much more comprehensive than the last liberty city. The streets are going to have pot holes, the buildings are going to look real, the empire state building's going to be there, etc.
There's rumors that they're going to have Moscow too as a second city, since it's the Russian mob this time around.
I'm REALLY excited for this, so much so that I might actually buy an Xbox or a PS3 if it's cheaper by then if my laptop can't handle the game.

Seriously, what video game playing male doesn't completely fucking love GTA? How can you NOT? It's the first game to ever really allow you to do whatever you want. Don't want to do missions? Fine, go around and killing people with your buddies, doing stunts, etc etc. I mean before GTA 3, there was never a game like that, and as soon as it came out, about 10 copycats came out six monthes later (Crap like Streets of LA and Driver). It's hard to truly decide which one is my favorite. I mean I grew up on the original GTA 3, but Vice City was even better then that. I loved the fact that you could get into fistfights with a bunch of gang members, and it would attract other gang members and you could start just a huge rumble of like 20 people fistfighting, awesome. Then what can you say about San Andreas? Greatest game, ever. It sucks beyond belief that my copy doesn't work anymore, possibly because I played it far too much. But man, that game was so detailed and complete. I loved the whole gang territory idea, where you could fight different gangs for their territory and they'd attack yours, it was just awesome. Call me a sucker for early 90s gangsta rap (how could you not love Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, NWA?) but that was definately the greatest video game, ever.
I never really liked Liberty City Stories. I know it was like a side game, but still, it was just pretty lame. I mean it was awesome to just be doing new GTA missions and all, but the game itself was a less interesting version of GTA 3.
But now they're doing a new one...and I am excited as all hell. Whats the date for this things release anyways? And please....PLEASE tell me it's going to be on PS2. Playstation has to realize that very few people even want a PS3 when most games still come out on PS2 and are really perfectly fine that way. This game should be just freakin awesome, the way it sounds so far is crazy, but I just really really hope they keep the gang territory system from the last game, cause that was just as fun as playing the actual missions IMO.

Sorry X no PS2 Release. It releases first for xbox 360 in october, and then alter for ps3, so I guess rockstar isn't exclusive with playstation anymore.
San Andreas was fucking insane, what a great game. i just love jumping on the jetpack and flying all over the place, or jacking a plane, going as high as possible, jumping out, hit the water, and be perfectly fine, just bad ass.
I think with GTA4 comign out for the 360 first, plus Halo 3, I have to get an Xbox360, or else I will pull my hair out.

Don't get an XBox360 unless you want to spend a few hundred dollars on a game system that is guaranteed to break down on you in a couple monthes. I'm going to wait a while until they come out with new and improved Xbox360's before I even start thinking about spending the money on something that everyone who I know has bought and been pissed because it broke on them.
I'll probably buy the PS3 anyways, I was always a Playstation guy, not an XBox one. Though I'm thinking of making the jump simply for Halo 3, Halo is without a doubt the greatest game franchise, ever. The hours of fun playing that online, ridiculious.

X, I love you man. I'm a playstation man too, all the way. But PS3 is ridiculously overpriced and I only want GTA4. if Xbox 360's cheaper, which it is, I might just pick it up and grab Halo 3 as well. We'll see. I hope it comes out on PC but I'd have to get a new graphics card for sure.
Oh and by the way, they're coming out on both platforms simultaneously I believe.
Oh and X, pick up Vice City Stories if you get the chance, you WON'T be disapointed.

Hey well I have a PS3 and a Xbox360 so I have nothing to worry about 
I have always been a Playstation man ad still am. Thought with GTA4 I'm willing to wait for the PS3 version. Honestly Ps3 kicks ass and the blue ray disc do as well like with movies.
But GTA4 will be kick ass and from the looks of it the mod team mightbe on vaction when GTA comes out

I'm looking at an Xbox 360 elite right now, but I'm still holding on pulling the trigger. Like you said X, the damn things keep breakign down because microsoft pushed them too fucking fast to market. But haven't there also been problems with the PS3 power cords? I'm not sure, I thought I read that.
I'm with Prax, I can justify spending 400, barely justify, but justify, but I can't spend 600 bucks, hell, that's a mortgage payment.

Though I love Playstation and the XBox to a much lesser degree, I simply cannot hope that HD-DVDs or Blu-Ray discs make it big. Because that would fucking suck so badly. Do you realize how long it would take to replace my entire catalogue of movies? And what happens when they stop selling DVDs (they already killed VHS)? We have to shell out big bucks for one of those crappy systems for discs that are barely better visibly. I just don't understand why we can't just stick to one freaking media source for a while, VHS lasted a good 20 years, can't we give DVDs that same amount of time? I mean jesus they're about as convenient as it gets, if you want to improve on that, you're just being an asshole.
But oh god man I cannot wait until Halo 3 comes out on the computer. I probably will be gone from here for atleast a month guys.

Well this sucks, I have to wait an extra six months or so for GTA, but good because consoles will be cheaper by then, and the game is going to be even more ridiculous.
But you could tell Rockstar was afraid... Halo 3 AND Guitar Hero 3 coming out around the same time would've been ugly. Now GTA can get to more people. But at the same time, as the article said, more people might consider buying Wii's instead now that they have one less kickass game coming out for Xbox.

Original Prince of Darkness
You are never an asshole for wanting to improve on something. And you wouldn't have to replace anything as HD DVD and Blu Ray are for HDTV's, so if you don't have an HDTV you have no need for either. They were invented because DVD's can't run at HD quality and they needed something that could. DVD's are not going anywhere because for atleast 10 to 20 years there will be 100's of millions of people without a HDTV.
GTA4 is awesome but I am annoyed it was delayed, this may hurt PS3's sales because now all they have is LAir and Heavenly Sword to rely on and I am not sure they can push systems. I serious want the Wii to finish last and was hoping that GTA4 would help in that. But I also am not so mad because I don't have a PS3 or 360 so I won't miss it. I want one ASAP!

Boozed And Bruised
This is the worst delay in gaming history, I swear it. The only thing that could've been worse was probably a Halo delay, any of them, just for the sheer amount of hype they got. GTA IV was also starting to get hyped like crazy and lots of interviews and previews...and then we get around and it's been delayed. Not just a month or a week or two but clear into March or even later. Total bullshit.
But the plus side is that there are tons of other games coming. So at least my mind will be taken off of it, but that still doesn't stop it from being the worst delay ever.

Yea you have to think they are delaying it for a good reason... you shouldnt complain because when this thing comes out it will be so amazing you would of waited even longer for it.
I cant wait but I really really hope I have a 360 by then. It would probably be the main reason to buy one if I didnt have one by then.
The trailers look amazing for it. The cars look so much better and the buildings are awesome. Spring 2008? I cannot wait.

This to me is not the worst delay there is a ton of games coming this fall that can hold you till spring. Here is just a few: Halo 3, Call of duty 4, Mass Effect, Smackdown Vs. Raw. Thats just ones that will sell you all may have a couple odd ones out there that you may like. So everyone should get a good dose of gaming until GTA IV is released.

The delay will at least give them more time to polish everything up and not distribute a half-assed game. Although a delay of 5 - 6 months is a bit excessive for that.
Perhaps Rockstar/Take Two is undergoing some sort of management restructure. The new guy in charge takes as big of a hit as he possibly can and blame poor performance on the previous guy. Meanwhile, the new quarter rolls around and GTA 4 is released. Huge sales, lots of cash, and makes the new guy look good for making so much money.

R* is not afraid of competition, the delay had to be caused by Microsoft, so both Halo3 and GTA IV could sell well in the market, that way both can sell well onced released, and GTA IV will be released for the 360 & PS3 at the same time. The map size is expected to be about the same size as SA. You can see both trailers: http://Rockstargames.com/IV

This game is going to be great. The graphics look amazing. The gameplay is surely going to be amazing. GTA games never fail to austand me. They are always new and innovative. Liberty City will be all repackaged, and huge. I heard it takes about an hour to cross the entire city. Another thing i've heard is that you can hang off cars and helicopyters! I simply can't wait for this game. This is going to be great.

One element that's intriguing me so far is the story. I may be alone in the fact that previous Grand Theft Autos entertained me, though didn't impress me, with their story. Judging from the trailers, this one's going to have a story that's entertaining and will pull you in, unlike previous installments. Nico Bellic is definitely my favourite character so far. We've had numerous Italian American characters, a gangbanger (if that is the proper term), short of a Cockney geeza', a hard as nails Eastern European was one of the last alleys left. This'll be the thing that'll keep me from crying myself to sleep for lack of the new Mario Kart and Smash Bros. And it'll do a great job, too. Nice to see the old GTA humour is still intact.

As much as I anticipate this game, I don't think it will be as "fun" as it's earlier versions. It justs seems it will be a more serious game, on the same level as The Getaway. III, Vice City, an San Anreas were games you could just go around and laugh at the things you do with your friends. This game looks like it wont have the same ability.
My PS3 is in desperate need of a decent game. Smackdown vs. Raw was like every Smackdown & Raw of the fast 3 years. And I've played Pro Evo to death.
I can't wait for this. I might actually make an effort to buy this on the day it comes out. The storyline might well be a pile of shit, but it wouldn't matter. I get enought enjoyment out of just running around blowing peoples heads off.
