Gta IV

Vladimir

Who else is getting this game?
It looks like pure awesomeness!
I've heard the city itself is bigger than in GTA: SA, but the map isn't :(
Which is a shame, 'cause I loved riding through the desert on my bike while listening to Muse...man...those were the times!

I think it would be funny.

The reason you can't GTA great looking is that your PC won't be able to handle it. Since it makes use of gigantic maps

I think changing the graphics won't always work. Gameplay has more importance than graphics

rjd22

hmmmm can someone post some screenies of nice situations?

City: Liberty City (It's like NYC)
Features: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_IV#Features

The most important is the mobile phone imo :)

I had only played GTA (1) at a friend's house when I was a kid.
I bought GTA 2 several years later. Didn't get to play the other ones, till GTA: San Andreas.
Now I can't wait 'till GTA 4 comes out.

I've played
GTA 2, Vice city and San Andreas.
In my oppinion San Andreas was really lame, but Vice City rocked...

Dude...wtf?!
SA was teh bomb! Though a bit too gangsterish...
GTA 4 is going to make it the way it should be :)

Haven't played Vice City, what made it rock?

Vice City was somewhat similar to San Andreas, so I think SA is lame....there's nothing innovative and the graphics quality was awful....

Really? I think SA looked pretty good actually. Maybe not as much improved within the GTA games, but you have to admit it looked much better than most other games back then. Especially looking at the size of the game.

Nah it didn't really look better than ViceCity
And the PS2 was too weak to render it fast enough,
so you could see the picture being slowly constructed in the background, while driving,walking,etc around.
Why didn't they produce the engine based on the newest present computer technology?

The game could have been much better then... no really ps2 sucks and pc rulez :v:
no offense to you hardcore console junkies :P

By the way, when was its release? I don't really remember

Agreed, pc rules!!!
When was what released? GTA SA, 4 or vice city?

I agree PC is the best platform for GTA Series. I really wait GTA 4 it looks so nice and I've really waited it. Hopefully it'll fulfil my expectationsl If I only had HDTV... Maybe I could be called GTA fanboy... I'm not sure though.There are so many fun things I like too. Like anime.

GTA, Anime-style :P Now that would be weird...

The map in GTA IV will be smaller than in SA. But it does look much more realistic :D

The ridiculous quality of the GTA games has not changed since GTA III. I played every single one, from 1 to San Andreas, and I was surprised the graphics never changed. Vice City had a better plot line than SA as well. However, taking all things into consideration, GTA IV might finally do the graphics some justice. At least lets hope.

True, true. But GTA IV looks pretty sweet in the trailers.
Even though the graphics haven't changed drastically, I still think GTA is ahead of many other games when it comes to story, map design, graphics, everything else. :D

Vladimir

Even if GTA IV's graphics are on the same level as GTA: SA, I'm still more than willing to buy the game. Heck, I still think GTA: SA kicks ass, let alone GTA IV.

Vladimir

Yup, I cant wait either...lol
Let's make a post every second of the countdown...

Vladimir

I'll probably just buy it in the summer, since I won't have any time to play it before the summer anyway...

Vladimir

Sweet, I wanna play it!

Post some cool screenshots :P

Vladimir

Wow...niiiice...especially the last pic. The city in night. Simply pure awesomeness.
