Ztalker Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Hiya.. The official GTA 4 site just launched, and you wouldn't believe what is shows: A little timer, showing when the first trailer will be released http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/ (Couldn't url if for some reason....) Any thoughts/memories of good old Vice City and San Andreas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pho3nix Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Nice. GTA IV is the game I'm awaiting the most, probably going to buy a PS3 because of it. And yes I'm aware that it will probably be launched on the PC as well, but I'm used to playing it on my PS2. In Vice City I just love to cruise the streets on a Harley (Angel in the game) and listening to old love songs from the 80's emotion 98.3 for teh win.

The previous GTA:IV site made no mention of a PC version FWIW, I'm playing GTA:SA now...for probably the 20th time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDoe 2.0 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Hope it has good graphics like Vice city and a map like Liberty City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego Varen Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 This is what I'm looking foward to, even though I'm not eighteen. I liked Vice City and Vice City Stories (I'm currently playing them as we speak) the best and found San Andreas my least favourite game, but I'm looking foward to this. When will the game be set? Present day for once perhaps, since the closest was GTA III and Liberty City Stories? Edit: It's funny, but I've played all GTAs at least once, but never completed the actual storyline, . Tommy Vercetti and Victor Vance are my two favourite characters to play as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igyman Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 GTA 4 is one of the games that I will definitely be playing, providing a PC version is made and released, since I'm really not the type that buys any console because of any game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I'd like to play GTA 4, but if it's not on the pc, then I won't be playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because a PC version wont be out for launch, doesn't necessarily mean it wont be out later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mace MacLeod Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 ^^^GTA: SA took while before it came to PC too. Really stoked about that game; hopefully by the time it comes out I'll have frankensteined a computer that can actually handle it. Played VC, SA and GTA3 out of the series only; liked VC the best but it got a little old after a while. My favourite post-story mission pastime was to head over to the stadium in the top left corner of the map with a minigun and about 5000 rounds of ammo, and whale the crap out of everything for a 6-star rating. Then when the army guys finally show up, go near enough to a Rhino for them to get out of it, kill them, and go on a 6-star vigilante massacre. Ahh, good clean fun.

Achilles Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 ^^^GTA: SA took while before it came to PC too. Yeah, but it was a simultaneous release with the Xbox version. Their deal with Sony said that the PS2 got it competition-free for 6 months. Considering all the heat they got for hot coffee (pun intended), I doubt that we'll be seeing a PC version.

lukeiamyourdad Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Meh, someone will make an XBox 360 or PS3 GTA IV Hot Coffee mod available to only 2 persons in the universe and Jack Thompson will still go:"z0MG PR0N!!!!111!!11!!!" Yeah, he and all other anti-video game activists use l337 5P34K... Anyway, I'm still looking forward to it. I loved GTA:SA. Perhaps it's because I was raised in a neighborhood that isn't very pretty or something. I can always hope that GTA IV will come for the PC...

HerbieZ Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I hope the graphics are ace. I loved nothing more than to run over peds and go on random shooting sprees in the other games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jediphile Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Just because a PC version wont be out for launch, doesn't necessarily mean it wont be out later. Perhaps. I can live in the hope that you're right, at least. And as Ztalker points out, they'll probably need all the money they can bring together for the inevitable lawsuits If nothing else GTA:SA was brilliant just for all the crazy complaints in the press. It was a game about a car-boosting, drug-dealing gangster who killed cops left and right... That being the case, it was hysterical what people could get upset about. My personal favorite must be the grandmother who bought it for her grandson and then filed a lawsuit because the game had foul language and sexual content in it, the latter only if modded. With all the killing and drug-dealing, THAT was what she decided to get angry about!?! Hysterical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quanon Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Yes , can't wait untill this is released . Hope they introduce some nice new characters with funny dialogs and crazy situations . Liked VC the most , because of the atmosphere . Sa wasn't bad , but it had the effect "just more of the same" but bigger . In all the games I liked the radio-posts the most , hilarious commercials , ridiculous talk-shows , man sometimes I just crashed my car cause I had to laugh so loud .

King Dando Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Cant wait for this game, although I'd rather get it for PC. I have the last 3 games on PC, so I've gotten used to it now. I was playing San Andreas the other day, altough I prefer Vice City, mainly because I love 80's music. I wonder where GTAIV will be set, and how big the map will be? I cant wait for the trailer at the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabish Bini Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I can't wait 'till this comes out, i'm still playing Vice City, although i've already finished it... Hope it's good, I don't want to be let down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztalker Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 Any thoughts on what the subject is this time? Or how they hope to enlarge the world even further? I hope it'll feature several world cities, in modern time. I hope you can go fly from one city to another (cutscene), like in Kotor. OR.... A 'seventies' setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaelastraz Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Yeah, but it was a simultaneous release with the Xbox version. Their deal with Sony said that the PS2 got it competition-free for 6 months. Considering all the heat they got for hot coffee (pun intended), I doubt that we'll be seeing a PC version. Was that hot coffee mod a serious issue in the USA? I mean, the game is supposed to be 18+ right? Well, in Europe, sex rarely is the issue in games, violence is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 @Ztalker: The prevelent rumor appears to be Europe, although I'd guess Carser City (spelling?). IIRC, it was mentioned in both VC and SA. Sounds kinda like Detroit or someother U.S. industrial town in the 80's. @Vaelastraz: Yeah. link Didn't make much sense to me either. Drugs, carjacking, racial slurs, prolific use of adult language, terrorism, strip clubs, murder, prostitution, glorified violence = ok. Consentual sex between a man and a woman = must reissue a 2nd version and release a patch to block the offending files. Gotta love our priorities.
