Isaac and everyone who followed just owned that Brit.
It is true, dvd9 need to be replaced by another dvd format. I'm surprised mass effect 2 is coming on 1 disc. lol
final fantasy 13 is on 3 for 360. 1 for ps3. yay.

can you tel me why gta and saints row both stomped all over blu ray exclusive infamous in every way if they were gimped by DVD9???

if they were gimped when they were much bigger, had better graphics, offered REAL sandbox gameplay(not tacked on samey side missions) and were overall better games in every way, then why didn't infamous destroy these games???

@above: please just stfu, infamous isn't like GTA or saints row it is a sandbox adventure game first and foremost, you can't jack cars or any of that Cool GTA sh1t.

And yes unless it comes on 3+ discs for the 360 version the potential for the game will be extremely limited... good job rockstar on making another mediocre POS GTA game if they put it on 1 dvd9.

Just re-master San andreas, it would probably own whatever GTA5 turns out to be anyway.

asking other gamers to validate his own opinion on why a game he likes is better than one other people like...If you are intent on "proving" an opinion, do it yourself, with futility, nobody is going to go out of their way to explain why YOU liked a game better. Better graphics? What dimension are you from?

I would LOVE a return to Vice City, really, believe me, but the force is not strong with this.

"Zwar habe man noch keinen Namen für die Stadt in der GTA 5 spielt" happens to mean "they do NOT YET HAVE A NAME FOR THE TOWN THAT GTA V TAKES PLACE IN"....

no vice city. =(((

...the script is 2000 pages as long as the gameplay is better than GTAIV. A major overhaul to the gfx engine wouldn't go a miss either.

Yes but HR is going to be a dialogue heavy game, I'd prefer GTA not to have too much chit chat. Just enough to give the game a good story, I don't want GTA:The MGS version thanks.

Maybe HR won't be a good game.
Maybe HR won't truly achieve to be a step further in gaming.
Maybe HR is not adressed to a young demographic.
But rest assured, it will do much more than cut-scenes and QTEs, and it will prove as a unique experience in gaming to lots of gamers.
Meanwhile, you can try to skip this one and pick up something more suited for other demographics, like EyePet or even better some Natal tech demo (the one in which you must jump and kick balls like a monkey comes to mind). Alternatively, as showed by your comments history and a simple word count, you can continue filling the threads talking more about Sony, PSN and PS3 than Microsoft, XBL and XBOX which is the only system you own.

Could have sworn that the 50 mill was a loan to make gt 4.
Rockstar needed to pay the 5 mill back + 2 exclusive dlc that are worth 2 full games of gametime.

The pedals which are controlled via the shoulder buttons are pressure sensitive to match the cars. Dont press down to hard to actually make your car's tires grip the asphalt. Same physics as IRL.

go back to the PS2 games after driving in GTA4. Driving is one of the things that GTA4 did right.

But Vice City has been done. If there has to be a remake, I'd rather have GTA London.

Or you know what? Remember in GTA 2, with the top-down view, you could identify the gangs based on what designs they had on their cars?

Like the Smiley gang? Yakuza? All of those? I'd rather have a sillier GTA game than GTAIV. I remember San Andreas had a sense of humor to it, but GTAIV was more realistic. People in SA said silly things more often.

The greatest thing about Vice City were the bikini-clad roller skating girls.

The reason people complain about it, both PS3- and 360 owners complain about it is because it just wasn't that a great game. It has nothing to do which platform you has it for, as both versions are almost identical, apart from the DLC.
I for one wont but GTA5 if Rockstar doesn't make some real improvements to the framerate, size of the city and controlls.

I'm a ps3 user and i liked gta4 beat it like 10 times, and most of the people on my psn friends list like it too.you shouldn't take this site too seriously,tho i think vice city is better then Liberty City i just enjoyed it more,my only complaint for gta 4 is that there weren't enough vehicles and guns like in san andreas,like the tank,jetpack,ect. i just thought they could do more,look at the last gen gta games and look at the new one its like a step back but with prettier graphics,still love the game tho

10.4 - well
first off its not just PS3 gamers complaining about GTA IV its 360 gamers also. The game was extremely overhyped, the gameplay didn't match or succeed any of the PS2 versions, It could have been way better if they actually used blu-ray to their advantage. but the fact that it had to be multiplat held the game back so much that it was a big let down for a lot of gamers and NOT just PS3 GAMERS in fact most the complaints I hear about GTA IV come from 360 owners as to the gameplay and game being overhyped.

11 - Vice City
Is still the best GTA game even though SA gave it a great run. Now that it's all but confirmed, I really wish it was PS3 exclusive. I bought the 360 CE of GTA IV and EFLC but imagine how big the next GTA could be if it weren't constricted to a DVD.

12 - IS GTA GETTING OLD FOR ANYONE?!!
IS IT ME, OR IS THIS GTA THING "OVERKILL"?
Don't get me wrong, I'm all about art and video gaming, but Halo and GTA are not innovating. I understand that Ratchet and Clank get's multiple titles, BUT look at the games. Something new and innovative is happening in every title. GTA has Sex, Violence, Theft, and Language in EVERY game.

The only thing that changes in GTA games are the Charecters. GTA 3, 4, Guy Tony, are the same....just like the Tv show 24, and The Bourne Identity Movies. Again, I respect and support the style and art form of games like GTA and Halo, but I would prefer people to open up to evolution of great game design and story telling. Little Big Planet, Uncharted 1&2, The 1st Halo (Combat Evolved), Resident Evil, Mario Galaxy/Mario 64, and Bioshock, did not get the type of respect they REALLY deserved. (REALLY?? LBP and Fallout 3 loses GOTY to GTA 4?)Rockstar's Midnight Club games were very exciting and delivered great experiences. To bad they gave up and "Crossed Over" to appease American's thirst of senseless violence. (Prob. the same crowd thats mad at MS for banning "pirates & Modders". )
