No, really, we don't want you to hit the jump if you don't want to...not if you're gonna make that face. What? No, you're pouting. We can tell. Actually, screw this, we're just taking the post down.

Looking sweet as ever. Can. Not. Wait.
I built a new PC in September and have barely touched my 360 since then, I'm really looking forward to getting back to the couch for this one.
Who the hell comes up with these names...
The police one was right on the money.
Won't somebody think of the childr..I mean white people?!!?
The LCPD Recruitment video is great, but no gidgets, no deal.
ZOMG! an afrobeat/international funk radio station hosted by femi kuti.
they read my mind.
fuck yes funk music ftw! love me some funk.
god i want gta
*drools* I REALLY want this game. Now.
boring stuff, bring on some gameplay videos.
This will sell 6 billion copies.
The only thing that could make me want this game even more is if they announced Vrock was one of the stations
Soexcitedomg
Afrobeat? Damn. How unexpected. AND awesome. I'm really looking forward to seeing exactly how eclectic the soundtrack will be.
Hmm, not being a big fan of the series I have to say that I actually might pick this one up when I get a ps3/360, looks interesting and the character models look like they've been beefed up a bit in the detail department look less like shit than they used to.
Vladovstock eh? They really did their homework to come up with that city reference. Can somebody get a bootleg of this game early?
@hamandcheeseUK: Lazlow would do it for me.
Nice, Wilson San. Nice.
Oh, and that thing in your eye. Yeah, that's pussy.*
*The use of this word by no means is meant as offensive. If it is taken as such, you have the author's humblest apologies.
GTAIV is going to be fantastic.
I really can't wait -- this is going to be the 'it' game of the summer no question (Sorry Smash Bros -- I love you though!).
Doves will fly. PS3 and 360 fanboys will huge and share in their love of the game. Music will pour into the streets prompting the citizens to dance. Cats living with dogs. Divorced parents will get back together for the kids. Taxes will be lowered, public services will be raised. And more. And more.
I have all the faith in the world that the folks at Rock Star North are going to pull this off.
I quite like Vladivostok! I have find more of this russian music...
@NOKS415: <3 Lazlow
I'd by this if it were on PC, even though I think the whole 1 player PC game experience is a bit weird. If devs are all about HD and super awesome physics engines why don't they see the PC as a viable platform? I mean you're pretty limitless with the PC as compared to a non upgradeable home console.
Well I guess it will eventually end up on PC but by then I'll have forgotten about it.
@Intellectualdiot:
Hell yeah. I know what I'll be listening to while cruising the streets.
On a second thought, I take that back.
Well, I'm aroused.
@cello:
Maybe all the stuff except the PS3 and 360 fanboys hugging.
@Clarke:
As a past PC gamer I see where you're coming from. But, piracy has attacked PC gaming too far, and I'm in the majority who prefer to sit down on the lovely sofa, pick up a small, good sized gamerpad and let rip with easy UI and a much less overly hardcore PC gaming attitude which is to make everything overly gladitorial.
How many major Halo 3 clans can you name? None. Exactly, thats because Halo 3 is for playing simple enjoyable quick games. Yet games that should be fun, like Counter Strike Source and Team Fortress 2 are ruined by this "you need to play this game every minute of your life" attitude. Even more so with TF2, as its atmosphere is much better on the console edition. MMORPGs follow this extreme attitude, and that is why their only audience is on the PC, doomed to the stereotypical teenager, allergic to natural light and fruit.
GTA made its name on the consoles, and that's where it will stay, because to be brutually honest even to me, a hardcore gamer, sitting on your horrible chair with an overexpensive PC with hardware thats losing its value in seconds, an operating system that constantly crashes on you and using a keyboard and mouse, designed to type on and do general activies with, not to move around on, and worrying about your position in the clan, just is not fun anymore.
The gaming PC is almost dead. Viva la console revolucion.
wait.. was that a white guy? no more racism then..?
i'll be tuned in to if99 non stop
hooray for broken age check things o;
seems its possible to be born on february 31
That cop is such a tool...
tee-hee, I made a funny =)
Here's a song for Vladivostock FM:
'My love for you is like a truck, Beserker!'
Also, Lazlow has to be in this.
*Closes eyes and hopes* , please have a thrash station, please have a thrash station, please have a thrash station.
Seriously, imagine gunning down pedestrians to slayer, or municipal waste, or kreator. Oh, and a DnB station for shits and giggles.
The game is begining to look more solid than before. I ma pre-order it.
NAH....
I'll just go to Wal-Mart and buy it then because I know they will have a stack of them to the ceiling.
@josh51: You've been able to make your own stations on the last couple iterations of GTA, both on the PSP and Xbox, I'm certain you'll be able to make your own Slayer station.
i like that Feltzer car in that video (pakie)
i seriously don't think i can last another month...
I cant wait to get me some Eastern European rock! :D
screens updated.
CHECK WEBSITE!!
more than what you have here. FYI.
@Communist_Gamer: Like the communist ignorants preceding you, you generalise too much. The PC democracy is a stimulant and healthy gathering of choice and skill. Even with matchmaking, games like Halo can be frustrating. But there is still a thriving mod community, and everything independent is STILL made on PC, even the UT3 mods.
PC gaming is not dead. It just needs to close its borders and get the pirates the fuck out of there with extreme force. Enter, STEAM.
And are not consoles becoming more and more like PC's? Internet browsing, media files, etc. The only difference is, that Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo can BAN content, like the lack of AO games on consoles: a revolution, turned into an oppresive system.
This game just keeps getting better and better looking and looks like its going to be just as funny as the others AND have great music, not that I ever doubted that.
I just cant wait, i reserved it today (limited edition of course) and i just cant be more hyped about the game. I want it now!!!
@Clarke: "If devs are all about HD and super awesome physics engines why don't they see the PC as a viable platform? I mean you're pretty limitless with the PC as compared to a non upgradeable home console."
Seemed to answer your own question there. As limitless and superior as the PC platform can be, it is that upgrading factor that isn't so cost effective to the average consumer. There is also this assumption that everyone knows how to upgrade PC's and that they keep up with how fast PC hardware depreciates and evolves; which is yearly by video card standards with each card costing almost as much as a game console. All this versus buying a new console hardware every 5 years without having to fuss with installation and compatibility issues is pretty obvious why the mainstream has gone consoles and why the PC market is struggling. I agree PC games are superior, but it isn't about HD graphics and physics engines.. it's accepting the fact right now that the PC market isn't a large enough pool to guarantee sales unless it's a WoW expansion.
@MasterOfPastures: Agreed. PC gaming isn't dead. It is in fact VERY alive. Just because certain people can afford the latest and greatest... doesn't mean there isn't a group of people who can. Team Fortress 2 thrives on PC, and so does counter strike.
If PC gaming was dead, companies like ATI and Nvidia wouldn't be selling brand new cards at 600-1000 a pop (and selling out of them on day 1).
But back on topic... Yay GTA4! Hopefully it won't control like like a fat chick on roller blades like the last couple of games.
Femi Kuti ftmfw
Interesting... I heard Ruslana's "Wild Dances" as part of the Eastern Euro radio there..
That's awesome. :) Now just add some Serebro and a few other things and they'll have a killer radio station to listen to.
@FrigidAir44: That is true. HL2 was VERY scalable. But aftwerwards... meh. It's not what it used to be.
On topic: there seemes to be 18 radio stations!!! A new record!
LCPD Recruitment video made me lol
Femi's playing his dad's song "Sorrow, Tears, and Blood" at the end of the clip. So goddammn awesome!!
the guy looks almost exactly like niko.
i got super bored with gta games in the past, but if someone can convince me how this game will be different than the rest, please be my guest... i just really hope RS put some innovative ideas into this game and not just some stereotypical voice over accents.
