I'll get excited around august 2007 then

[ScarySquirrel]

I hear they actually switched camps for this one... so it's being originally designed for the XBOX360. But, the release dates for both (360 and PS3) are going to be the same.

Since the PS3 carries such a hefty price tag, I don't think I'll be buying one that quickly... unless something in my financial situation totally changes. I guess since I already have a 360 I'll probably pick it up for that. Unless the PS3 version looks totally sweeter or it has a ton more features since it'll be on a blu-ray disc instead of the normal DVD stuff. Then I guess I'll just have to wait and probably rent it from Family Video or somethin'.

No pics from the game have been released yet, right? I was reading an article about it yesterday and didn't see any... but maybe there's some somewhere that I missed or something. If y'all know anything, then link a homeboy up, man.

You´re sitting on good info here.

No, there's no pictures yet i believe.

[Freebasser]

Rockstar don't usually release pictures or detailed info until about a month before the release date, so don't hold your breath.

[King of Rock $]

Jesus Christ will be the main character in GTA6 which has a release date of december 22nd 2036... I know this because I read an interview with the makers (they're still in kindergarten) I got official pictures of the game right hurr http://www.pbs.org/parents/talkingwithkids/war/images/kidpic.jpg

as of now it looks to be multi-platform

~ Game Title: Grand Theft Auto IV
~ Release Date: US: October 16th 2007 Europe: October 19th 2007
~ Developed by: Rockstar North
~ Produced by: Rockstar Games
~ Official Website: www.rockstargames.com/grandtheftauto4

The Facts

* Grand Theft Auto IV will be simultaneously available for the PlayStation®3 and Xbox 360™ and is currently planned to be in stores in North America on October 16, 2007 and in Europe on October 19, 2007.
* Microsoft and Rockstar Games have announced a strategic alliance to provide exclusive episodic content for Xbox Live®, giving the community ever-expanding gameplay experiences that aren't possible on other consoles.

Rumours & Speculation

* Rockstar North received their PlayStation3 game developers kit in August 2005 and have since then been working on a brand new game engine for what the October issue of PSM is calling, a next-gen GTA title. Eye-candy aside, they are supposedly aiming to create a photo-realistic city for GTA 4.

"Rockstar North is creating a specialized game engine for PS3 that will bring GTA 4 to life to a degree that PS2 games could only hint at. Specifically, they're going to be using the high data transfer bandwidth of the Cell CPU, RSX GPU, and Blu-ray Disc to use several streams of game info simultaneously. The game's city - unfortunately yet to be even hinted at - will still be free roaming and seamless, but broken down into smaller, more deatailed areas at the engine level, into which the game designers are going to be able to pour more textures, more oject variety, and tons of details (such as discareded soda cans with their own physics), just for starters. The goal is a city that's less repetitive and where everything - and everyone - looks and acts more like they would in the real world on every level."
-- PSM Magazine USA, November 2005

* Multiplayer - There were signs of multiplayer development in the GTA3 (PC) data files. GTA: San Andreas featured something very similar to multiplayer known as 'co-op'. Most recently, GTA: Liberty City Stories featured seven multiplayer game modes with each supporting upto six players. This evidence (and more) suggests that Rockstar are keen to develop a fully functional GTA multiplayer in future releases, so multiplayer is indeed a strong possiblity in Grand Theft Auto 4.
* Setting - Due for next-gen systems, sources close to the project suggest the team is looking beyond the US for the setting of the next title, with Europe being a strong contender.

Am I the only one who realizes october 16th 2007 is 17 months from now?

[Freebasser]

Like I said, there will be absolutely nothing to get excited about until 16 months from now when they show the first footage.

i still really like the early 90's L.A. theme. they should do that again.

maybe they shouldn't and just keep with what they're targeting for.

I like every scene they did. Vice City was great as well. I'm just saying that every theme they've made so far has been a success so why keep making the same?

Think, more realistic graphics and the best part. Europe= more European esque cars.

Since the PS3 carries such a hefty price tag, I don't think I'll be buying one that quickly... unless something in my financial situation totally changes.


Since its coming out a year later than the ps3 is out I presume the price will be down a bit by then.


I guess since I already have a 360 I'll probably pick it up for that. Unless the PS3 version looks totally sweeter or it has a ton more features since it'll be on a blu-ray disc instead of the normal DVD stuff. Then I guess I'll just have to wait and probably rent it from Family Video or somethin'.


If it'll be on blu ray for the ps3 then I presume it will be on blu ray for the 360.


On a side not I've been playing this (http://www.sa-mp.com/) over the past couple of days. It pwns.

On another side note one of the head guys behind rockstar north just pumped in a rather large amount of money into my citys local football team (http://www.theherald.co.uk/news/60902.html).
