GRAND THEFT AUTO IV trailer...

[MikePizzoff]

...coming 3/29/07.

I'm sure it's going to be a crappy teaser with like one shot of the main character. Rockstar loves to be sketchy about the content of their games until like a month before they come out.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I was hoping to at least get one person and, ALAS, the very first person to view the thread was fooled!

The wait until October is going to be painfully long!!!

[CoinReturn]

Hopefully they reveal at least what city/state/country it takes place in.

I can only imagine what a next gen GTA will be like. I have been playing GTA since PS1.

[Cody]

imagine the achievments for 360 mmmm

[slickwilly13]

imagine the achievments for 360 mmmm

No kidding. Just look at the improvements of GTA series on PS1 vs GTA PS2. Now picture GTA PS2 vs GTA PS3/360. As for achievments, points for drive-by, buying a penthouse, going on a rampage, carjacking every vehicle type, etc.

Filing tax returns....brushing your teeth .....changing your socks 100,000 times!

[capncnut]

Taking a s**t... pissing on your neighbours dog... watching American Gladiators on TV. A real game for once! :D

[MinionZombie]

Damn you Mike! You had me all hot and flustered for a minute there!

And damn straight, I hope it ain't some cop out cock tease, I hate that sh*t where it's 90 seconds long, but 70 of those are really long periods of text washing across the screen, I WANT FOOTAGE DAMN YOUZE!!!

October isn't even that far away, and yet nobody knows anything about the game, come on Rockstar, untie the purse strings for crying out loud!

[Tricky]

I hope they keep this one simple,cos it was a pain in the arse on san andreas when you had to keep going to the gym & eating etc,i loved GTA3 & vice city,but got bored halfway through san andreas and never got round to finishing it.GTA3 is still the best out of the bunch,graphics & plot wise,all it lacked for me was motorbikes & a bit more countryside!

[capncnut]

Well it's being rebuilt from the ground up because they are using a whole new game engine so I would imagine Rockstar will keep this one as simple as possible.

[MinionZombie]

Yeah, while San Andreas was a great game, for me, it's always gonna be Vice City. It was just so fun, and you didn't have to bother about working out, buying food, trying to shack up with some lass ... dancing missions and *ARGH* all those f*cking LICENSES!!!

As if your protagonist would be that old and not know how to drive a freakin' car!

Take the story, style and fun of Vice City and slap it together with the scale of San Andreas, add a new freakin' engine (which has been sorely needed for a good long while now, they certainly drained the last one dry) and make it even more violent and sickeningly entertaining. :lol:

[capncnut]

To be honest, I think San Andreas killed the lot of 'em. It was so in depth and the location setting was way better. The missions were more diverse and if I'm not mistaken, it was the longest of the series by far. You got to rate this game above the others for the appearance of Shaun Ryder and Danny Dyer alone.

"One minute I was wankin' over some fat bird's tits, the next minute I was out on me back!" :lol:

[MinionZombie]

lol, yeah San Andreas is a great game, but it's a bit too fiddly ... and the story is nowhere near as good as GTA 3 or Vice City (I've only played San Andreas through once, whereas Vice City I've played through multiple times).

Also, there's too many drab, boring and underpowered cars in San Andreas, whereas Vice City had some flair. I'd really like to see a GTA game set in the 70s, it'd be awesome.

[capncnut]

I'd really like to see a GTA game set in the 70s, it'd be awesome.
Yeah, New York 1978. Disco kids vs punks. :D

[Danny]

^ i'd play that, i think it'd be cool, you know there'd be some kinda taxi driver reference though:cool:

[DVW5150]

Hopefully they reveal at least what city/state/country it takes place in.

The cities and towns (in the GTA series) are fictional ... Based on actual places , San Andreas has sections that mimic real cities , Hollywood (Vinewood), Vegas , ect ...Since characters (cops , gang members , restaurant employees) are speaking english of some kind , its like an alternate USA . You don't have to look very far into these games to answer that question .

[Danny]

id like to see one a little more serious than action orientated, set in a new york like city, kinda like farenhiets (indigo prophecys) vibe and loaction with a little bit of condemned thrown in for good measure, and it would be good to choose your path oblivion style, maybe i dont want to hump prostitutes then kill them for money, maybe i want to be the beat cop chasing those guys down for a change, it'd be good to really choose, cus though there was more freedom in san andreas you still played the lesser of two evils in the game.

[capncnut]

With a touch of the Assault on Precinct 13's. :D

[MinionZombie]

And the underworld of dodgy 70s 'stashio style porn "downtown" and such. All the disco and punk rivalry would be cool, that fashions would be great, you could have some pretty snazzy motors, I think it'd be really cool. You could plug in to that whole post-Vietnam/Nixon era type stuff.

[MikePizzoff]

I hope the "world" is an epic-sized one. I hope it includes many different types of terrain (my favorite was the the desert in San Andreas). People would complain about it taking long to get places but if they used the "travel system" that Oblivion had, there would be no problem!

[Danny]

a huge world will rock, you could take public transport, like hijakc a bus ro seomthing, and if you whent into a store in like the redneck back of the woods areas with a gun it'd be cool if the store owners could shoot you first, it'd add a little more realism to it, since i notcied when playing vice city last night that i could walk straight past acop weilding a chainsaw and he didnt blink once:lol:

[Tricky]

San Andreas was full of crap locations as well,such as when you go to that massive hotel,or mad doggs mansion,and theres nothing in them!room after room of unimaginative & empty places.And those missions that involved going out into the desert and being attacked by the men in black & government helicopters were too far fetched considering it was meant to be about gang bangers & the hood etc,that was when i lost interest actually,i never got any further than that

[Danny]

yeah i liked how vice city was more compact but there was still loads of back alleys and places to go, san andreas had some great areas to just go and drive, red county in particular, but a lot of it was wasted space.

[MinionZombie]

What I also really, really, really want in a GTA game is - ragdoll physics and complete world interactivity.

I want to run in and out of buildings all the time, I want to blow up buildings (no, I don't mean "do a 9/11", I'm talking like small businesses or houses or small developments and such) and for people to come back and reconstruct them - like a living city. I want to blow up a bridge and cause traffic chaos. I want to shoot out windows of buildings, and if done in a tall building, you get the affect of high altitudes and wind.

I want to see new buildings created by the NPCs and old ones torn down with wrecking balls and controlled demolitions (perhaps you could have a mission where you sneak in to do a task but have to escape as the building gradually comes down and leap out to another building next door.

I want greater car modification, more stylish cars and greater variety. I want shot of all the stupid-arse remote control missions, I want shot of the stupid bloody license missions (Verdant Meadows was an absolute kick in the dick time and again, I had to download a save game that took place after the completion of that particular thing so I could finish the game.

(Yes Tricky, the whole 'men in black' stuff with Toreno was a bit daft and too "big" for a GTA game, crime and other shenanigans have to be more 'local').

I want those nail strips being thrown into the road again - I loved that in Vice City, a nice touch, but they damn well took it out for San Andreas! :rolleyes:

[capncnut]

I managed to dig out some footage that may give some indication as to where GTAIV is going. Firstly the L.A. Noire trailer (http://www.rockstargames.com/lanoire/html/trailer/trailer1_640x360w.htm), which is a new game coming out soon by Rockstar. Imagine the GTA's FMV looking as sharp as this. Lastly, the Euphoria Physics demonstration (http://www.gametrailers.com/umwatcher.php?id=43855). As you all know this is what Rockstar are incorporating into the game and it looks mighty impressive. While there's no actual GTA footage, it's nice to see the possibilites.

[Danny]

geez mz, not asking too much huh?

[MinionZombie]

geez mz, not asking too much huh?
pfft, it's do-able if they put some effort in.

You've gotta admit, using the same old engine over and over again was more about making money than making a truly great game. Vice City was the peak on that engine, San Andreas was too bulky for the engine to cope properly, and those "Stories" games were just draining the last drops out of an already spent engine where the graphics never really moved on that much.

They're still great games, they were just rather lazy when it came to a new engine, hopefully they don't milk the new one for years and years.

I'm loading that physics trailer, so hopefully GTA:IV is gonna rock my cock and/or socks!

[_liam_]

that euphoria engine is the next step methinks...

that thing with the wood was amazing...

[MinionZombie]

perzactly, I wanna drive an articulated lorry through a farm house and have the thing collapse as I'm driving through some poor sap's living room. :elol: Then see it rebuilt, so I can do it all over again! :lol:

Something I liked from True Crime: NYC was that an area would get affected if there was a lot of crime there - shops would shut down, crime would be concentrated there, the place would look desolate and sh*tty. It'd be nifty if some of that was in the new GTA.

[Danny]

so hopefully GTA:IV is gonna rock my cock and/or socks!




that thing with the wood was amazing...


sounds kinda like you guys have just been watching gay porn to me:p

but yeah i would love to plow througha house too, prefferably in the general lee, but i aint to picky just a personal favourite.

[capncnut]

I'll take the '79 Hemicuda from Phantasm thank you. It's either that or the crappy Ford Turino from Starsky and Hutch. :D

[raym]

I hear the next GTA may take place in Europe.

more here:
http://www.gta4.net/setting/

Personally, I'd like it set here, on Oahu ^_^

[Danny]

that'd be pretty cool, maybe with a venice type area , like the one in spyhunter and tomb raider legend.

I dunno how fun it could be if it took place in Hawaii.

I'd like to see such a huge enviroment that we get [fictional versions of] major cities from all over the world. I know that's just wishful thinking, though.

[MinionZombie]

As they've 'remade' the cities of Liberty City, Vice City and the whole area of San Andreas, someone was arguing the logical next step would be remaking their version of London from London 1969...that'd be interesting to see (though apparently it's going to be present day in the setting).

I think an English speaking European location would be best ... and I use that "european" label in the loosest possible sense, Britain ain't the E-friggin-U ... but it always gets lumped in with it regardless...:rolleyes:

It'd be nice to see a British setting, rather than an American setting for a change too. Just think of the Labour-bashing goodness that could be strewn throughout the background story! :elol:

[bassman]

Hell, I wouldn't care if it's "Grand Theft Auto: Ethiopia" or "Afghanistan". Either way....I'm there.:thumbsup:

[CoinReturn]

I'm all for a British/European setting. Especially if it was retro, 60's ot 70's. That would be a nice change of pace.

[Tricky]

Hell, I wouldn't care if it's "Grand Theft Auto: Ethiopia" or "Afghanistan". Either way....I'm there.:thumbsup:


:lol: i can just imagine it "Grand theft auto:kandahar city"
Burka rampages,hooking up with goats gives you health,taliban stunt bonus etc

[capncnut]

London? Sean Bean? Ray Winstone? Danny Dyer?

[MinionZombie]

BRING BACK KENT PAUL!!! :D

GTA4 ... in London ... in the 1970s ... now that'd be something, especially as Britain in the 70's was such an utter pile of sh*t.

We need more Kent Paul, that character is fantastic, and a significant highlight in San Andreas when he turned up again - Danny Dyer is just endlessly charming as the lovable cockney rogue ... fahkin' legendary, my sahn!

[capncnut]

Maybe Kent Paul's dad is the protagonist of GTAIV. That would be awesome.
"Fahkin sweet, my sahn. Get one for yaself wontcha treacle. You sorted? Lahvley. Bartender, a drop of gold watch when ya ready!" :lol:
