zackass87

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> @snoop-blog:

same here... but it adds to the replay value a LOT. that's why i have 130+hours in San Andreas.... hopefully it'll add onto GTA IV's replay value when you're finished.

:X

Akmed

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> @spainland: IMO GTA has never been about the graphics so I dont care which version for once looks better

GTA3
GTA: VC
GTA: SA

all three looked like shit, and when the PSP versions arrived it was just right. The graphics really does fit the PSP but not PS2.

GTA4 looks great but nothing out o fthis world, somethings still look PS2ish, like the blocky cars and such, but like I said idc.

White-Sharingan

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> I dont want to sound like a troll, but will this game look better on the ps3, or will it not matter?

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> @DJ-KINETIC:

lol. Sounds good, I guess I will go ahead and at least give it a rental. But I suppose if I can find it cheaper than $20 I might just go ahead and buy it. Thanks for the input.

cb_32

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> @Luis: I agree entirely. I personally have found the GTA series to be far over-hyped in the past, and am glad to see that people don't really give a sh*t comparatively for this one. Maybe, just *maybe* the lack of hype will allow it to slide under the media's glare to the extent that we don't have to deal with another round of the entire mainstream media hailing videogames as a whole as the anti-christ...

mordennight

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> WoW! i am so hyped on this game!!! IDK if those were in game or cinematics (or both) but the caliber of the gfx and models have gone WAYYYY up IMO. I CANT WAIT!!!!

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> @havoks: ugly character models are a requirement for R*, that way they can add extra content like surfing on cars.... :P

@sauvage: That's it? That's all you can come up with? Really? You wanna go spend some time thinking up something better? How about you take all weekend to work on something better.

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> A tokyo based GTA would be pretty sweet.

mordennight

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> I still think they should have based the damn game in Tokyo. Who really gives a crap about Liberty City anymore?

rebelphoenix

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> Speaking of shooting. My school right now is under lock down cause there's a few people with guns in the halls.

It sucks ass. I gotta pee real bad and we're not allowed out of the classrooms. I've been holding it for hours.

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> @Akmed: i always beat the games without cheats first. you know, earn a better reputation with the game.

snoop-blog

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> wow they put a LOT of new shit on there!! look at the Roman Beltic Video. LMAO!!

good to know there's still humor in GTA. of course, when isn't there?

random: i hope there is cheats for it. just like the older GTAs. wouldn't be GTA without cheats...

Akmed

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> liberty city again????? does anyone know what time period the game is supposed to be in?

i bet i'll prefer san andreas vs. liberty city. sure its a much nicer version of liberty city, but if all the streets are pretty much the same, i'll already know my way around. i prefer to discover new territory. i hope they at least move the pay n sprays and stuff around.

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> I just want to see a video of some actual gameplay. We're not far off from a realease and we don't even know what the hud looks like.

MasterOfPastures

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> @Zhabin: Give Crackdown a try. I hated the demo as well but rented it on a whim and after a few hours of play, my life (outside of the game) seemed to dip to silence as I became obsessed with collecting those little orbs. The power-ups from the orbs made the game play so much more enjoyable. But I became a maniac trying to collect them all. Damn you, little orbs. God damn you!

elranchero69

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> GTAIV site is certainly up, but ain't running at top speed, not with these road blocks of UNDEFINED and all at every street corner.
It's not a stop sign, it's an undefined traffic sign. Utter chaos.

I really like how the game is looking now. Last year It was like "meh okay" now it's awesome.

sUKi

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> "At least were not as racist as the Midwest" That was the first quote i see on the site. Wow this is going to be good. The site's music is beautiful.

jackal888

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> @havoks: Ah you want a game with beautiful people! People who say that beauty is only skin deep are usually ugly people.

sauvage

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> The map is nice and all, but none of the links on the left work. They all come up "undefined."

sloner

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> Overall map reminds me of Vice City, with a third island in the middle.

DigiMish

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> As someone said I think the delay did wonders :)

I just hope that the 360 and PS3 versions are the same in quality. Multiplats have been excellent lately in that respect, so maybe we've moved beyond that. The devs claim the two versions are on par, but why don't they ever throw in a PS3 version for preview?

The cynic in me is suspicious of the money MS gave Rockstar, I can imagine them putting an "exclusive previews" clause in there... a pretty smart move actually.

I don't care if either version has a slight graphical tweak, just as long as the core of the engine and framerate is optimum on both.

Oh and I am really excited about this game!

Noks415

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> @Evilgeoff: Why? Is that part of the 50 Million that MS gave them? Do they really think that such a popular game could actually oust the supreme position of Firefox?!?!

(Clever bastards...)

MasterOfPastures

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> So I'm assuming that

Alderney = New Jersey
Algonquin = Manhatten
Broker = Brooklyn
Dukes = Queens
Bohan = Bronx

roughly





KPrecise

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> Tried it in firefox and only got an outline of the city, no images. Loaded it in IE and the interactive features sprung to life, pictures of characters and places and even a video advert for whizz wireless.

Evilgeoff

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> @Sloopydrew:

Yeah, that sucks. I was thinking of buying Crackdown too, my friend said it was a good game, but I played the demo and I just could not get into it. The weird thing is I think my brain just can't get into sandbox games, but I played The Godfather (Don's edition on PS3), and I played through that entire game (took 45 hours) and loved the motion controls they gave the game, so that makes me think my brain can get into sandbox games, but for some reason GTA and Crackdown just haven't appealed to me yet either. Sucks because I want to play them and enjoy them... =/

Zhabin

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> Can any of you guys see the dots on the map? All I get is Udefined and a blank map...

MasterOfPastures

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> Yeah, I'm getting so hyped on this game.

DigitalHero

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> Clicking on the skyline for me has a new screen appear.

Nothing much there though, but there are, I think, a few new screenshots.

Dontdrop

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> I guess i will buy only to play online co op with people. Honestly i've been lying to myself and this game does look fun. I hope it doesn't fail in anyway especially with all the delays this game has had. hey but its no DNF.

SigmundTheSeaMonster

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> Undefined? What?

MasterOfPastures

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> I found a fun "bug". Turn the bass up on your sub woofer, then hover the mouse courser over "Information" in the bottom left corner. Quickly move it to "Music" while hitting the rest of the options and back again. The sound overlaps and creates one heck of a vibration.
Yes, I'm totally bored.

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> Finally, a true sequel. How many spin-offs had we faced since GTA3?

The Great Aussie Evil

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> This is the most excited i have been about a game. I literally know everything that they have released about the game. They better keep more tidbits coming out or ill die!

Ra is on That 70s Show

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> Um, yeah the site is all dicked up. :/

Livid

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> It's not interactive for me. All I see is just a skyline, but nothing else to do. Am I missing something?

armchairnixon sees you doing that thing there...

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> @Zhabin:

I keep feeling the same way, but I know I'll still end up quitting 5-7 hours in. I can't get into these sandbox games (unless you count Dead Rising -- which is my favorite game on the 360). I bought Crackdown about 2 months ago on some super-sale for $17.99, played for about 2 hours and have never put it back into my 360 again. I understand the appeal of these games completely. But the appeal just isn't appealing to me.

Sloopydrew

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> lol @ Sprunk.
Heavy duty soda. EXTREME Hydration.

Listening to the 360.ign Three Red Lights podcast, Hillary Goldstein talks a lot about how cinematic the game is. The main character shot someone, and it was a big deal. In a GTA GAME. That's hard to accomplish.

Apparently it also uses the Euphoria engine most recently demonstrated in that Force Unleashed video. At one point, your character rolls out of a car and right into oncoming traffic. He instinctively puts his hands up in anticipation of being hit. It's the little stuff like that that I'm looking forward to.

neojam

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> For some reason there was something about the past GTA games that could never really hold me and I could never figure it out. My friend is a big fan and owns every GTA game they've made and I always try to play them at his house, or I'll borrow one and try to play it, but it was never something that pulled me in and made me want to continue playing, I always ended up quitting after about 5-7 hours or so.

Now with GTAIV though I'm really looking forward to playing it. I think it's more the graphics whore inside me is really excited about how good the game will look, but I think because of all the enhancements they'll be making due to the power of the new consoles it's really making me interested. Going in and out of buildings with no loads, the driving, the flying...everything just seems enhanced and I really want to give this game a spin. From what Rockstar has shown us so far, I'm excited, I really hope I can enjoy this game.

Zhabin

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> Everything is either failing to load or blanked out for Coming Soon. Damn the masses and their simultaneous connection!

MasterOfPastures

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> Flashtastic!

Seriously? I hate these sort of flash sites. And the site itself is so mellow it could be packaged along with the next Enya CD.

Tetelestia

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> I think the GTA IV delay from last year to this one is actually working in rockstar's favor.

Almost no competition at launch, more time to polish, and more time to build anticipation for the title. I can't wait to take on Liberty City all over again :-)

Belain

]]> <![CDATA[GTAIV Site Is Up And Running]]> My hype meter for this is so subdued. I'm still anticipating the game and will buy it day 1, but it's like the game has gone dark in comparison to the other releases they've done.
