"What? No video? Let us explain. We normally don't run anything unless it's in video form, but Grand Theft Auto IV is so huge, and the information we received on the game so interesting, that we decided we'd make an exception this once. Unfortunately, there's not much footage of the game to be had, and therefore, we really have no chance of getting you all this information in video form. So, with disclaimers out of the way, here are the impressions of our time with Grand Theft Auto IV late last week at the Rockstar offices in New York City."
As we have all been graced by the release of Grand Theft Auto 6's trailer, we're ranking the best and worst GTA trailers to date.
We be getting these posts All week now lads. Someone noticed a number plate ... Someone noticed a billboard... I can see it now
Just go on YouTube and watch one of the many videos dissecting the whole 1minite 30secs worth.
This site supposed to be for news.
These updates on N4G are going to ruin whats rest of this site. Unfortunate since I was one of the first members.. The site shows unsecure when i login as well.
Grand Theft Auto 4 is an important game for Rockstar, not least because it was the first title in the franchise to use the newly created RAGE engine.
There’s never a bad time to relive its magic, and with rumours of a potential Grand Theft Auto IV remaster making the rounds, why wouldn’t you?
Not really
Overrated
Boring
Liberty City despite being a reimagined version for the HD era lacked any variety
Lacked the GTA fun charm overall
Niko was bland compared to past protagonists like Tommy, CJ or Victor
Like hell it is. San Andreas was far better, much more fun and a better game overall.
Nah, it's a masterpiece in attention to detail and the amount of immersive systems at play. But it really isn't very fun, ESPECIALLY when compared to the previous games in the series. Like tons of things are just wonky and actively kneecap lots of experimentation, or is just lame. Like why do I take huge damage when falling into water, why can I only stand in very specific large trucks when they are moving but not smaller trucks and vehicles, why is the melee combat such a massive down grade from GTA SA and GTA IV, why is the euphoria nowhere near as reactive, why is being drunk using a rasterized animation of staggering rather than the far more entertaining euphoria GTAIV and RDR used when you were drunk, why do npc vehicles barely react to you popping there tires even at high speed, etc etc.
I've always loved playing around in GTA games world. Like the campaigns are great but the majority of my time was always spent just playing in the open world. Yet GTAV is the only game in the series I never really returned to after beating it, it just lacks that fun factor the others have, I spent more time in GTA SA remastered than GTAV
It's one of my least favourite GTA games. It's clunky, the ai is exploitable, it's far too long and the writing is absolutely awful.
finally a GTA game I actually want to own. I was never really impressed by the others...but this one has my interest way high!
The graphics looks exactly like those of San Andreas.. Don't get me wrong, I love this game, but the graphics don't look like next gen at all..
It seems like Rockstar are becoming another EA...
These have been around for ages. Why are they being shown again.
Don't bother adding movies unless they are new in game scenes.
FMV stuff is becoming boring. Means absolutly nothing about the game play.
Just would seem everything is better than SA (one of my fav games). Physics, animations, graphics, gameplay
this game looks like a ps2 game cause of 1 reason, and that reason is cause its on a system that supports a disc format that only holds up to 8gbs on 1 dvd9 disc and cause that system isnt has powerful has the ps3 being able to stream data like uncharted drakes fortune without loading once in the game and being the best looking game on a console to date.
if this game was ps3 exclusive it would have had more potential for being a better game cause they can make the game without thinking of limits.people dont think of limits while making a game exclusive for ps3 nor do devs have to downgrade graphics, and content to make the game fit on a blu ray disc.
ps3 is the future, and the future is ps3.
