GTA "4" coming in 2007...

[MinionZombie]

Read over on ActionTrip.com that there's going to be a next-gen GTA game. As for the "next gen" bit - about friggin' time, four games on the same engine is enough already! Still though, it won't be sitting on my PC until summer 2008 I bet, they always take F*CKING ages to port to PC :mad: :mad:

No idea when the game will be set, what it will be about or anything, just that there's a next gen GTA coming out in 2007 for PS3 and Xbox360 (yes, at the same time).

They should bring it out for PC at the same damn time too, works better there than on a console I find ... although San Andreas assed up the control scheme a tad. Damn, why is PC getting more and more screwed over these days? PC gamers are hardcore gamers, we demand respect of our authoritah! :eek:

My friend and I were discussing the GTA series and how we couldn't wait for the next one...then we realized 'damn, we'll have to by PS3 (or xbox360) just to play it. It should be good, i mean, each time a new GTA has been released it has lived up to expectations or far surpassed them.

As for PC vs console games...I played PC games much more often until recently. Loved playing Diablo II:LOD, Age of Empires series, C&C, Sim City 3000...especially strategy games where the online community was huge. But since PS2 came out, I have played PC games less and less, although I've been thinking about buying AoE III, it looks real sweet.

The one difference that the Xbox 360 GTA4 will have over the PS3 version is the downloadable content. Microsoft and Rockstar signed an exclusive agreement for download content to be released for the Xbox 360. This would be something as simple as new clothes and weapons and bling for your GTA character to be downloaded from Xbox Live Marketplace. Then there's extra missions, levels, abilities, etc...

episodic content is the real widowmaker for ps3.

after yesterday, i now feel a defenitive need to buy an xbox360.

[Danny]

am i the only one not bothered?, what else can they bring to the table it may be in a different city but why you need a replacement for san andreas or vice city i dont know they should move on to toher projects rather than be stuck as a one trick pony/ thorn in hillary clintons side.:D

[Tullaryx]

Im not too fond of GTA series. I liked its sandbox-style of gameplay, but after awhile it all started looking the same. Now, if the exclusive download content for the 360 means to add different levels, weapons and even more ways to kill and maim people then I may try it out. How cool woudl it be if Rockstar went all GAR on everyone and put up a patch on Live Marketplace that'll mod the game's npcs into zombies. :D

[Danny]

heh vice city with zombies, tommy vixcettie hiding in his hotel room and can tell the zombies are near when the sound of "thriller" gets close.

"hee-hee, shamone mothr****as!,ow check cha mone'!"

i don't see GTA asa one trick pony. they've consistantly reinvented the games by offering new character options, and geography.

and rockstar has put out a ****load of other games besides GTA.

[Guido]

Red Dead Revolver and The Warriors were both very cool games by RockStar. While I only watched a friend play The Warriors, he did really like it and played it endlessly. RockStar is definitely not a 'one trick pony.'

[Danny]

the warriors was aweful it was one long fight minigame with little to no variation.


but yeah i forgot about red dead revolver that game was the ****.:D

[p2501]

what about Manhunt.

Manhunt never gets any play.

[Danny]

last i heard it was banned in the uk yet my local gamestation still sells it, though they also sell jhonny depp action figures, so no accounting for taste i guess:lol:

[p2501]

Manhunt is one of the few games that really creeped me out.

it's really superb.

[Danny]

two words. silent.hill.


"dow-dow, da-da-da-da-da-DA, da-da,da-da-da-DA-da,-dadadadada..."

[Andy]

two words. silent.hill.


"dow-dow, da-da-da-da-da-DA, da-da,da-da-da-DA-da,-dadadadada..."
silent hill is konami, not rockstar. :rockbrow:

[Danny]

im on about another game that he would find creepy, but yes well done it ISNT made by rockstar, have a cookie:rolleyes:

ahahaha.

yeah the SH series never disappoints. i'm curious what they're going to do with the next gen consoles. given what alan wake looks like. i'm kinda jonzing for the next silent hill.

[Danny]

actually one the silent hill forum there was one 'supposed' screen of silent hill 5 for the 360 it was a hospital room and looked almost like real life.:sneaky:

[p2501]

very cool.

[MinionZombie]

"Manhunt" was never banned, any anti-games organisation that says so are idiots. As per usual, Blair said he'd consider it to appease whichever demographic he was after two years ago.

P2501 - if you haven't already, head over to my website and check out "Manhunt Did It" in the video clips section.

Also P, I too am a big fan of the GTA games, GREAT stress relievers. I can't tell you how many times I've been furious over something, gone on GTA and came back an hour later cool as a cucumber. Each game has indeed brought something new to the table, San Andreas was a bit improvement on level design - if only you could combine the great style and story of Vice City with the level design of San Andreas - take out the retarded flying missions/learning and remote control missions and bingo - GTA: Next Gen. I don't know why they're calling it "GTA: 4" though.

[Danny]

but hillary clintons trying to do to games what thatcher did with video nasties in the 80's.

[MinionZombie]

And like the video nasties debacle, Clinton's perceived moral highground will crash and burn because the money men won't allow it. Top selling video of 1983 just before the Video Recordings Act came to fruition? "Evil Dead" - Mary Whitehouse's number one video nasty.

Fact is, if they try to ban anything like a video game or movie it'll only rouse more interest in whatever the media is, this sparks the interest of the money men and any subsequent legislation is either watered down or never makes it into action because the judges deem the proposed clamp downs as a threat to free speach. Damn straight.

It's always the same when a new media comes along which threatens the status quo - video nasties did it, back when prosecutors believed "Cannibal Holocaust" was real - now video games are the prevalent 'new' media and ever since the early 90's there's been fuss about video game violence, I remember when ELSPA was formed and ratings started appearing on video games. I've still got my copy of Robocop VS Terminator - unrated, back in the day before media frenzy surrounding such things.

Twats like Hilary Clinton may try and keep new media down, but human nature demands violence and a thirst for blood and really, simulated violence does much more good, vastly more good, than it does any kind of bad. It satisfies our needs for it. It's all part of moving forward and boot-shakers like Clinton or Whitehouse or whoever-the-f*ck won't stop a thing. Guaranteed.

Not even "we'll barge it through regardless" Labour will be able to shove through the legislation opposing 'violent' pornography, the consultation on that proposal has already been set back twice - it's long grass for that newest anti-media-whinge.

Also, Hellsing, did you get my PM? Some folk don't get theirs and I wanted to check. Either way, PM me back, cheers.

[Danny]

that whole cannibal holocaust thing was pure fried gold, when they asked for proof and all the dead people walked into the courtroom and the director was like "good enough?".:lol:

plus a state in america, beginning with p i think has now banned any game that involves harming people, so what about halo?, technically you can kill your own men by accident.:confused:

[MinionZombie]

Guaranteed that legislation is overturned on appeal, a few other pieces of legislation that were put in place to limit the sale of Mature rated games have all been rescinded after they were instated upon appeal by the games industry. It's utterly futile - if you don't want your kids playing violent games, get involved in your kid's friggin' life instead of relying on the Xbox to babysit for you while you pop percodans like they were Skittles. Train shop staff properly - even if they're morons with more snot than braincells - to see ID before completing a transaction on an "M" rated game.

Americans always seem to make a meal out of a simple thing such as this issue. If only there was a "Common Sense" party you could vote for ... which doesn't exist.
