Gta : Iv

[general tbag]

Any guesses on the time frame and or place it takes place? IF it stays true to the orginal like all the 3d ones have it should be london 1969 ? CAnt wait, and i hope online play is added this time.

[Danny]

actually i recently read its set in 1999/2000 with that whole dawn of the millnium thing. though i wouldnt mind a wild west gta, like robbin' trains and shooting up saloons and whatnot, that'd rock.

London has been a strong candidate ever since GTA 4 was announced, but rumors of New York have grown stronger. The latest case for a New York setting seems to be a topic at NeoGAF forums (topic has since been removed), about a 80's New York-based band called Breakdown being contacted by Rockstar Games for licensing rights to some tracks. Drawing a conclustion between this and GTA4 being set in Liberty City is rather far fetched, yet in any case, the setting page will be refined if the trailer does gives us an indication of GTA 4's setting. Else you're free to keep speculating. Unofficial GTA site. A post in a forum (that has since been removed) that claimed to have insider knowledge on Grand Theft Auto IV has tipped New York as the city of choice. With both the Xbox 360 and PS3 releases of Grand Theft Auto IV penned in for October this year, the PR machine is already revving its engine. We reported last month that the first ever trailer of the game will be released to the world wide web at the end of this month on March 29. Will it be set in New York? The rumour apparently came from someone involved in the music soundtrack of the game, that seemed to be going for a NYC feel. All eyes on March 29 people. You'll find the trailer here on CVG as soon as it goes live. Computer and Video Games site. I could pull up another dozen quotes all saying the same thing. If GTAIV is to be set in New York, it can only be the late 70's - like I predicted, punks, disco kids and power cuts. One can only hope.

Hmmm, but I thought Liberty City was their version of New York? Or are they setting it in a real city this time? I still would really like a 1970s setting as they haven't done that period yet, and it's open to so many cool new things to cover...porno 'staches for one.

[MikePizzoff]

Well we're going to find out in 3 days 11 hours.

[capncnut]

Or are they setting it in a real city this time? Now that wouldn't surprise me as virtually EVERY unofficial quote from Rockstar has said that "the rules are going to change". A real location ala The Getaway, how cool would that be?

[MinionZombie]

Aye, a real city would be quite funky, but also strange at the same time as we're used to how it's been done thus far, I'd forgotten about the trailer, what with all my excitement over STALKER, so it's snuck up on me, which is nice, so I'll get to see this trailer soon ... now to wait 3 friggin' days for what will most likely be a load of text and about 2 shots...it had so better NOT be though, with a month-long count down, there'd better be a PROPER trailer ... those possible bastards...

[capncnut]

now to wait 3 friggin' days for what will most likely be a load of text and about 2 shots... it had so better NOT be though... "Coming soon..." <quick flash of a car skidding> <gangsta gets out of a car and aims gun at the screen> <cut to black - pop, pop, pop> "...GTAIV"

[MinionZombie]

"Coming soon..." <quick flash of a car skidding> <gangsta gets out of a car and aims gun at the screen> <cut to black - pop, pop, pop> "...GTAIV" EXACTLY ... if it's that sort of sh*t I will personally sh*t in a box and send it to them, I HATE those kind of trailers with a passion, for one they're so cliched and over-used, for two they're f*cking lame-ass cock-blocking cock teases. I can get the same "oh yeah, it's coming sometime soon I guess" from any one of the bajillion websites talking about it on the net, I don't need some white text on black background followed by a local and maybe one cock-flicking shot to tell me the same pointless low level of information! I DEMAND A PROPER TRAILER!!! We've had f*ck all information about it, and it comes out in what, 5 or 6 months?! Geez!

[capncnut]

We've had f*ck all information about it, and it comes out in what, 5 or 6 months?! Geez! Yeah, that is totally iffy. 6 months until release date and no trailer - expect delays is what I say pal.

actually i recently read its set in 1999/2000 with that whole dawn of the millnium thing. though i wouldnt mind a wild west gta, like robbin' trains and shooting up saloons and whatnot, that'd rock. Rockstar Games already did that......"Red Dead Revolver".

[MikePizzoff]

Yeah, that is totally iffy. 6 months until release date and no trailer - expect delays is what I say pal. Why do people keep saying this? Don't you guys remember the last three GTA games? They don't show shiv for them until very close before release. There were only like 3 San Andreas screenshots and no trailer all the way up until about 2 months before release.

Am I the only one hoping for a futuristic cyberpunk setting, like Blade Runner?

[MinionZombie]

Am I the only one hoping for a futuristic cyberpunk setting, like Blade Runner? Yes. IMHO I think a future setting would be naff, what makes GTA so great is that it's either present day or set in the past, so it can take the mick out of that time, or respond to things happening while it was being made, in a future setting you lose all of that... A delay, on GTA4? I doubt it, they've always stuck to their release dates before, haven't they? I was always getting GTA on the PC, so with previous installments I never noticed a lack of info until a while before it came out, to me it was always months and months before it was coming out, cos it'd be friggin' AGES until the console version got ported to PC...then sh*t got real.

Rockstar Games already did that......"Red Dead Revolver". correct me if im wrong, but that was never actually released was it?
