I MUST have this game :)
2bad it\'s only PS2 though
-
LOL no doubt Niber it will be released for PC just like the others were, even if it takes half a year.
BTW what about Driv3r thats looking pretty neat, why don\'t you get yourself a copy of that when it comes out to pass the Time.

Yeah I agree, even if Rockstar says there is no plans for a PC\\Xbox version that\'s what they said about GTA3 and Vice City also.
But a halfyear (after Q4 2004 realese)! what if the earth would go under during this time? I would miss this wonderfull game.
-
dude, when did they release screenshots? I been lookin all over for em
-
If I\'m not wrong, R* releases the games for playstation before pc because they got some contract with sony that says that (and, of course, they get alot of bucks out of it). The contract should be over by next year, so the next GTA after SA might come ro pc before playstation :tup:
Btw, Niber, have you managed to find the screenshots page in the official site? I got an email from R* today about it, but can\'t find it anywhere...
-
Have you treid IGN, I think I saw somthing on there main page about it and they always have screenshots.

Actually that contract ended 2004 already, that\'s why they could realese GTA: double pack for Xbox (with 3d rims :] ) so I was really suprised that this title would be a PS2 exlusive too.
But lets face it, these guys have been doing PS2 titles for 5-6 years now (small part of the team works on converts) and this is the last GTA game to use this engine so I guess they just kept going with a winning concept.
Vice City took 1 year to develop (that is absolutly awesome for a game that sold 11 million copies) so making the game with another console in mind would probebly be harder for them to work at that same insane speed.
-
How do you post pictures like that so that they aren\'t a link?
Really lookin sweet though!
Cant wait to play it!! :D
-
Looks nice! I loved Vice City :)
but isnt that pic a little rasist?
/me thinks that they could at least have thrown Eminem in there or something...

You don\'t know much about the GTA serie, do you?
Besides, even without knowing about the GTA serie, how can a pic showing a drive-by done by a few black people and a hispanic guy? It doesn\'t mean that all blackand hispanic people are criminals or something, it\'s just a pic showing a few that are doing it.
Just like you can take a pic of a white suburban family that smiles and are all nice and stuff, but it doesn\'t mean that that\'s how all american families are like that.

If they were all white, it wouldn\'t be rascist though, am I right?
In many areas, people tend to stick to their ethnic group. Deal with it. It pisses me off when people call everything that doesn\'t have complete cultural diversity rascist.
-
/me thinks Eminem should be on the recieving end of the drive-by :D
Dunno about GTA though, it seems to appeal to the worst in all of us and appeal to the lowest common denominator of \"it\'s funny because it\'s naughty\"
-
Im really sorry you dont like that Davis
...
When I saw the pic the stereotype thingy came up in my mind. Im not asking you guys to think like me. I just put forward my opinion
*nods to dfryer

Well... it is. :P
-
imho they\'ve milked that game for about all that it\'s got, it\'s quite frankly starting to get a little EA\'ish.. GTA bores me..
-
dude, every GTA is a vast improvement over the last, hell, for the first three they completely rewrote the engine. it\'s not milking the same old dishrag if you buy a new one of the same brand. that\'s like saying final fantasy, ultima or playboy is getting old. it just isn\'t true
[a free cupie to the person who spots the blatant error in this post, even thought it\'s not untrue]
-
FF sucks so bad, and isn\'t, not even by a longshot, worth stampeding eachother to death over (as the japaneese tend to do when a new game in that series is released)
Ultima is still as boring as it\'s always been, at least compared to other games in it\'s genre.. And as to playboy *no comment* :P
-
Malentor :( I thought you liked UO! Thats the thanx for introducing you to the game??? You played me! :D
-
I didn\'t say I don\'t like it, it\'s just a bit boring :P I enjoy a good game of Anarchy far more than a game on a free server that isn\'t even up :P

Not every sequel = milking...
Every GTA game is diffrent from the other. Sure, in all of them you play a guy in a city that kills people and get money for it, and do missions for people, etc. But everything else is diffrent, and it\'s alot more fun.
-
Basicly, it\'s the same game, it\'s viewable from more angles, and has some new missions... boring =)
*cough* command and conquer syndrome *cough*
-
well I could put it like in my usual dialog when someone tries to make me play some game:
me: can you use swords there?
someone: no.
me: stupid game...
but seriously, I\'ve been playing GTA... 1! \'twas cool :]
Never got myself into playing sequel or anything.
Not sure why...
but wow... how gta keeps changing...

There was a Katana in Vice City... You could literally chop a person in half, and falling apart. Or chop his head, arms, etc.
-
...
ok, Vice City\'s cool then ;)
-
just saw the screenshots... man, do you mean to tell me you can carjack a bicycle??? that might be fun for a while, but it is a little silly...
however, the graphics rule all

In GTA1 you could ride something that might have been bicycles. The handling was aweful... Not as bad as the fast bikes though, forgot how they\'re called (they were in Vice City too).

Yes i agree. The first gta was fun since you could do things you would normally have you jailed for a long time. It really made it possible to live out your sadistic side. To run over a sect, shoot people, chase people then shoot them, burn them, steal a tank and wreak havoc, scare people so they run on the rail get electrocuted etc.
Vice city was fun since you began from a low life criminal and ended up as the crime boss in town.
But now ive seen and done it all. Cant imagine anything really new they can come up with. Im tired of playing a sadistic criminal. Now im looking forward to a game like gta but where you have to look for honest work which you do from 9 to 5 (real time) to come home to your family sit home in front of tv the rest of the time. YEs that is what GTA4 should be like :)

Every GTA game (since the first one) made me think that it can\'t go any better. But it had. Every GTA game had new things that made it totally diffrent and great.
You can\'t really tell if there will be anything new in San Andreas before you actually play it...
And there are games like you described. The Sims, for example. And an old one, Jones or something, but it\'s still nice.

Giving numbers to GTA: VC and GTA: SA is wrong. You could say that they\'re extensions to GTA3.
In GTA1 there were three cities - Liberty City (New York), Vice City (Miami), and San Andreas (San Fransisco).
So VC and SA are actually GTA3 too, more or less...

We will see, with gta3 my dream of having a 3d gta game came true. If they do come up with something new ill be the first to admit it :)
About sims, i played that game, was one of the most boring was ever :(.

So what exactly would the developers have to do other than say.....Make a game after gta3 to get to gta4? ?(
Your logic doesnt make much sense to me. (But then i\'m not the sharpest knife in the drawer either :D )
-
the reason that they decided not to number VC and SA is because it\'s not a new engine build. I read that back when VC first came out, a direct quote I found in PSM.
GTA four will feature a new engine build with better graphics and controls. it\'s supposedly been in production since gta3 was released and rumors say that they\'re waiting to release it on the new playstation system. course, rumors don\'t often count for much so most of what I\'ve told you here can be discounted

Oooh!! I am a big fan of all the Grand Theft Auto\'s, personally I like their old birds eye view GTA for computer..but I love these new ones of theirs just as much!
EDIT: Especially the soundtracks on ViceCity, they were awesome!

You could set the view to the classic bird-style in GTA3 and vice city, although it didn\'t work very well.
Personally I\'m glad they changed perspective. I remember in GTA1 when driving that super-fast kind of motorcyckle, and it was almost impossible to steer because of the perspective. The new 3d-perspective adds a lot to the athmosphere as well. Watching the sun rise over Vice-city is an incredible sight (Well, the real sun is also impressive, but not in the same way if you know what I mean).
The GTA-series is great, but of course the game gets media after them with such a violent content (don\'t they have anything better to do?).
I read about two teenagers who sued rockstars for some millions because GTA \"had inspired them to commit a crime\". The two boys had borrowed their fathers gun and went down to the road where they had started shooting at cars driving by (!), whereupon they blamed Rockstar for what they\'ve done.
I don\'t know if they won the case or not, but seriously... :rolleyes:
-
there is something about commiting crimes and pointlessly killing people that doesnt really appeal to me.
i used to have alot of fun playing vice city untill i finished it, then there was almost no point in playing it :O
if i want to play a game with complete freedom ill play morrowind or freelancer where the justice system is a little more realistic 8)
san andreas does look to be an improvement though but i hope crimes are handled a little more realistically or the game can generate \'random missions\'

I found some stuff in PlanetGTA (http://www.planetgrandtheftauto.com), I\'ll post only what matters:
* There will be bicycles.
* Gang members will drive in gang cars (but more in the same car than in previous GTA\'s), and do drive-bys.
* You play a black male (I think I saw a screenshot with him somewhere).
* San Andreas won\'t be only in San Fransisco, but also in LA, and Las Vegas. SF will be called San Fierro, LA will be Los Santos, and LV will be called Las Ventura. The whole area will be called San Andreas.
* The game will be HUGE. Each city will be about the size of Vice City, and thats excluding the countryside. The game area will be about 4 to 6 times larger than any previous GTA game.
* There will be mountains and hills (imagine SF without hills :rolleyes: ).
* Driving in the countryside won\'t be boring, \"[...]the map feels very vibrant and alive.\", it doesn\'t say much besides this.
* There will be smog in Los Santos.
* The lighting, reflections, shadows, etc will be better.
* Many buildings that you can get into.
* You\'ll be able to buy, build, and run a casino in Las Ventura.
* There will be characters from previous GTA games.
* You\'ll be able to recruit gang members to do drive-bys with you.
* You\'ll be able to rob houses, but you\'ll have to plan first.
* There will be a stamina bar. You\'ll have to eat to stay in a good physical condition, but eating too much will make you fat. These things will affect your stamina. You\'ll also be able to work out in gyms.
* The NPC\'s AI will be better, and they\'ll have alot more things they can say (\"[...]voiceover recording sessions for an average pedestrian characters dialogue have gone from ten minutes to an hour in length.\" ).
* Now, this is cool: The game\'s difficulty will be dynamic. If you\'re really good in it, the missions will be harder than normal. If you keep dying and stuff, the missions will be easier than usual. -I know these things have been done before, but it\'s still great.
And they\'re really working out on it. They sent a research team to California to take pics and ask people questions and stuff.
-
now this will be cool. I\'m psyched now.
responce to a few of the features!
*Each city will be about the size of Vice City
in other words, somewhat close to the actual size of the cities.(without suburbs)
*There will be smog in Los Santos.
now THERE\'S realism. will it effect your stamina!!
*Many buildings that you can get into
>:D my favorite feature.
*You\'ll be able to buy, build, and run a casino in Las Ventura.
f**king schway man!
*There will be characters from previous GTA games.
could they mean phil???
*You\'ll be able to recruit gang members to do drive-bys with you.
see casino above
*There will be a stamina bar. You\'ll have to eat to stay in a good physical condition, but eating too much will make you fat. These things will affect your stamina. You\'ll also be able to work out in gyms.
hmm, don\'t know if this is a good idea
hmmm, must check the site...

The site guesses the same thing, and I think they\'re right.
I\'m 100% positive that Lazlow will be in one of the radio stations (he was in GTA3 and VC), wich will be awesome.

It wasn\'t really a racist remark. Besides, the GTA serie makes fun of every type of person, it\'s pretty obvious that they\'ll make fun of black people and \'hoods gangs.

hehe, you shoulda seen me laughing my a$$ off when I read that on the site, phil is in both the other GTA III releases why not a third.
[you know, I typed GTS three times, corrected it, and then still had to edit it to read GTA

all this sounds great and all but how do you think the media is going to respond to yet another gta game?
Its just more fuel to the fire.

I say, f**k the press, it\'s not up to them to tell us what we can play! if they wanna mouth off, let them. I sure as hell am not going to listen to a word they have to say about it.

When someone plays GTA he won\'t go off and shoot his friends unless he got a peanutted up brain. And those with a peanutted up brain will do it anyways, with GTA or without it...
Besides, the media lies all the time, tells half truths, and is more corrupted than any government. Accepting things that are said by the media just like that is wrong.

I completly agree with you but some of the stuff in the gta seires is excessive (funny but excessive) and while i know that the media will target anything that they are paid to we dont have to give them suck a large dayglo-trumpets-and-announcer target. Almost all of the pionts that they bring up against video games are proven in that one title, and most americans are too lazy to look for their own answers so because this game proves it takes what the media says at face value.
I\'m just sick of all the bs.
I do play the game and I am looking forward to it, but I wonder if the game is worth all the flak that video games and gamers in general are taking for it.
-
once again, I say it. F**k the media, they can say whatever they want about us and games in general, that won\'t make it true. GTA is a quality line, and they shouldn\'t censor themselves just so that the media will be satisfied. They have a rating system specifically so that younger gamers don\'t get ahold of these games, and so the makers have no responcibility if an immature tweek gets ahold of it and can\'t handle the difference between fantasy and reality.
-
Who cares what the media say. If GTA is censored because of it then just download it :D And then pretend the pedestrians are members from these companies. Have fun ;)

except for one problem, due to the electorial college, my vote really doesn\'t matter, that was proven quite firmly when the people voted gore in but bush won the electorial and therefore the election in general.
