Turns out, the game is based in New York! Its Liberty City but its obviously heavily based on New York. Should be interesting. Graphics look pretty awesome too. Reminds me of Alan Wake a bit. People have been saying they're underwhelmed but it's just what i was expecting; graphically better even. Can't wait :D

UPDATE : GTA IV has now been delayed until Take2's fiscal 2008 Q2, ending APRIL 2008 /cry

3RD TRAILER RELEASED SOON!

Hehe... Is it me or did they try to Matrix-ize their visual introduction with the music? :) Looks nice. I've played GTA3 and VC but never got around to playing SA. Here's to hoping a PC version will come out shortly after its release... ya know how painful it is to not have a PC version 'till eons later when you can dump your own mp3s into the radio station? I mean, c'mon... that's one of the greatest thing about the game! At least with VC I ended up adding a whole lot more 80s tunes and swapped in Initial D music when I went on a racing spree. Ah if only there's a dual-release....

I think it looks neat! I love this series (as does everyone) but I'm growning slightly tired of it, so I hope there are some new ideas in it.

Enjoyed GTA and GTA:Vice City, hated all the others...

Hopefully this one will be good. ;)

Looks really cool.

I like the direction it seems to be going, no more gangsta stuff like GTA: San Andreas, which I also liked as I got 100%. :P
But it seems completely different, I'm sick of gangsta stuff now so this game should be great.
More like GTA:3 which was awesome back in the day, as it seems to be in Liberty City again. Who know's maybe it's in more then just one city agian?

Awesome. Good to see some actual product fromt eh game..

I enjoy each release so much more than the last. THey jsut keep getting better and better. OO, i got a semi.

Although there's still no release word for teh PC version I'm peeing myself waiting, just like the last three. :>

But if no PC version I'll probably score a 360 so i can play it. Surely they'll be cheaper by Oct 17th

Have to agree with the Shiftmeister.

San Andreas sucked ass.

Looking forward to this new one.

Aloha

i agree
vice city was fun cause it was the 80s!
GTA has done nothing to interest me since
a fully interactive manhattan island could be really fun though

Oops got ahead of myself. Edited post to say isn't based in New York, its obviously Liberty City, but it seems so heavily influenced by New York that if they stuck up New York on the billboards instead i don't think anyone would argue!

Hi everyone, first post, but I've been trolling around and reading everyone else's posts for about two years. I've never really gotten into any of the GTA games before, but I think that the attention to realism and accuracy when comparing liberty city and new york city could make GTAIV a much more interesting game! Realistic and recognizable settings usually make for a very personable game that feels more authentic.

lol check the reactions ...

"CVG.co.uk" wrote: New York appalled with GTA IV setting

"Setting Grand Theft Auto in the safest big city in America would be like setting Halo in Disneyland," says Councilman

The New York Daily News reported "Grand Theft Auto is set in a mythical city that bears a striking resemblance to New York." Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly isn't one bit impressed. "It's despicable to glamorize violence in games like these, regardless of how far-fetched the setting may be."

Jason Post, a spokesman for Mayor Bloomberg, put the final nail in GTA IV's coffin: "The mayor does not support any video game where you earn points for injuring or killing police officers."

:roll:

They should make GTA V: Haole City set in Waikiki.

Actually, a GTA set in Hawaii would be cool. I picked up Test Drive Unlimited and for the most part pretty accurate with major landmarks and the roads. Shiiieeeet. Just add about 200,000 haoles and you have a game. Heheheeeeee.

Man thats sad really.. the safest city in America!

A GTA set on the whole of Hawaii would be extremely cool. :D

As for New York's condemnation of GTA... it's good to see that politicians continue to be sheep. :roll: Where would we be without instant political condemnation of computer games?

I wonder when they are going to get around to condemning Francis Ford Coppola for his "Godfather" trilogy. :roll:

Post by **The_cranky_hermit** » 02 Apr 2007, 01:21

The Godfather was condemned *heavily* on its for its violence and for appearing to glamorize mafia life and crime and violence.
The Godfather part II was also condemned on its release for similar reasons.
The Godfather part III was condemned too, but mostly for Sophia Coppola's complete inability to act.

But I really wish these people would stop saying "the player scores point for" so and so to mean "the player has the option of doing" so and so. Dishonesty pisses me off a lot more than whining, especially if being honest doesn't kill their point.

kyleb · Post by **kyleb** » 02 Apr 2007, 05:16

But did the New York City Council condem the flims for being set in their city?

Post by **The_cranky_hermit** » 02 Apr 2007, 23:10

Their reasons for condemning GTA4's setting wouldn't apply to The Godfather.

GTA4 = You shoot random people on the streets and murder cops for fun.
The Godfather = The Corleone's kill rival gangsters, rats within their own ranks, a corrupt chief of police, and the prized stallions of uncooperative moguls. But civilians and cops on the public payroll are safe.

I should stress that I don't regard these complains from the councils as anything more than whining, and certainly don't agree with them. I'm just saying that I don't see any double-standards or dishonesty in them.

Losk sweet, i"m sure it will be as the GTA gmes keep getting better..

I dunno why so many folks crap on San Andreas.. I can see not liking the story elements, like the "gangsta" stuff - but as i mostly ignore the drama and forus on the gameplay, SA is by far and wide the best.

I could get into, but.. meh.

Anyway i'm pretty excited about what GTA IV has in sotre - it looks like large elemetns will be quite different, from what I've read about it.

We'll see..

Oh and of coure i really hope it comes to PC along side PS3 and X360.

I kinda of expect it be anothter 6 months, but with it coming out on BOTH consoles.. i dunno.

Also i'm sure (and hope)( it'll be as easily mod-able as teh others.

The game's being released on "10/16/07". I doubt it will slip.

There's a new trailer being released on their website on 6/28/07 as well, so only a week away now. [website]
