I don't know about this. To be perfectly honest, it kind of makes me hesitent to buy the game, now. I was marginally excited for it, but this just looks like more of the same thing I've already done for 500 hours in GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas, but with better graphics. Plus, I played a lot of Saints Row when that first came out... Kinda sick of this genre, I thought the game would be more revolutionary.
I'm in agreement, although the facts aren't all in. I hate to judge from You Tube, but really that should only pertain to graphics anyway. The other games looked like crap in my opinion, but they are so much fun!!!!!
Nope, haven't played it. Just saying what it looks like to me. Looks like more wasting time. I had fun wasting time in the virtual worlds of GTA in the past, but I'm just sick of that kind of game. It doesn't look different at all from this video. More realistic graphics & physics, and a more NYC-like Liberty City... but it's still the same putzing around gameplay. The only thing that'll convince me to buy the game would be if the missions are somehow more than "Drive here. Kill people. Drive here. Kill person. Drive here. Kill. Drive. Kill." If they can make up some kinds of new missions to accomplish, that'd be great. But I don't know. Also, if it has a story of Godfather proportions, or something, that'd convince me to play through it as well. At the moment, though, it doesn't really built up much interest for me.
I'm sick of running up to a car, hitting a button to steal it, driving around to nowhere, killing random people. I used to have fun with it, but after hundreds of hours of that kind of thing, it just feels like a waste of time, I have more fun playing a game where I have an objective than to just mess around aimlessly. That's all. I'd rather play another another round of golf, or race another race, or play another match in an online war game, or play another RPG, or anything. If I want to wander around New York City, I'll leave my apartment and wander around... the random thievery and killing aspect that the game provides isn't really appealing to me. If it was a city I didn't live in, maybe I'd be more interested to get the opportunity to explore it thoroughly. I don't pretend to have some objective reason why I'm not interested in it, I just tell it like I see it that's all.
Why do all of you guys care or not if this guy is tired of sandbox games, you guys sound like bestbuy employees, who seriously cares anyway to get back on topic i wanted to see scenes off the crowded cities, my eagerness to by this game has fallen but none the less i will be purchasing this game.
yes it does because they always try to sell you stuff you have no interest in. God must someone always walk you through every comparison because your brain cant comprehend
Fragking28...that is the dumbest comparison I have ever heard. How are you going to come up with a analogy that obscure (and dumb) and then proclaim that someone else has comprehension problems? No one was trying to sell him on it we were asking him how he's board with a game that has so many options.
You say no one was trying to sell him the product but look at what happens when he says he tired of doing the same stuff over and over again ( including regular missions) this is okcomputers post ^^ "you are aware that if you're sick of wandering around aimlessly that there are hours and hours of objective based missions in gta games right?
But even before then you yourself poke fun at him because he doesn't like it by saying enjoy linear games. Your quote says "callahan09...how are you sick of a genre that gives you the freedom to do anything you want? But it's your opinion, enjoy playing linear games."
Bringing me back to my first post why do you guys even care let the man enjoy what he wants to enjoy.
Fragking28...you still haven't explained the whole obscure Best Buy reference. I wasn't telling him to go buy the game, I was asking him what type of games he likes to play if he's tired of a game that offers you just about everything you could possibly want.
The frame rate is like butter!! The previous poor quality videos reduced my hype and anticipation, but this one shot it right back up.
The gameplay looks the same as previous games, which isn't a big negative for me, but I guess I expected more. Also Niko seems to be kind of compassionate saying sorry and stuff compared to the other GTA lead characters lol
By the way, the graphics look outstanding!! Graphic whores need to be ignored when they play down GTAIV's graphics.
I don't mind watching these gameplay videos as long as they don't spoil the story.
-EDIT-
Ok after watching this for the 3rd time, my hype level went down again. GTAIV just looks like a pretty upgrade of the previous games. There doesn't seem to be anything new other than graphics and physics, but I'll save my final verdict when I've got it in my hands.
Okay,before you tear my head apart,know this:I have already pre-ordered this game,and will be playing it next week on my Ps3.
Now...From that video,I am VERY unimpressed.There's nothing there that I haven't done before,the gameplay looks the exact same as in previous GTA's,the fighting still looks clunky,graphics look fine but they're nowhere near the realism level they were hyped to be,there's noticeable Pop-In,the city looks great but kinda empty for New York,sigh...I REALLY love GTA,and like I said,will play it next week,but I really really REALLY hope that the gameplay 'feels' different,because it certainly looks the exact same as in previous iterations.
I think you huys should wait untill you play the game, there will be areas that will be more populated with people buying there own food and fighting each other in stuff.
OK not totally on-topic but all this talk of preordeing has me worried. I have pre-ordered from Amazon.co.uk... but I live in Spain. My reasoning was that I wanted the full package in English, though I'm pretty sure the Blu-ray will contain multiple languages.
Now I'm worried because Amazon could apparently take at least a week to get the game to me (possibly even longer given that I'm outside the UK)... so should I cancel my preorder and take the chance on picking up a copy in the shops here? Or should I prolong my agony for an extra 5, 7, 10?? days?
Don't misunderstand, this game does look good graphically this time. But I don't suspect they will be changing the actual gameplay formula too much, I've got my preorder in after all. I was making a general statement about the other installments. At first, I was reluctant at getting this game, fearing the poor graphics would be hereditary. Then when I heard it was multi platform, I REALLY didn't want it. But after all the video and good things I have been hearing, the anticipation is staggering. :)
The driving physics look a little floaty, but the advantage of that is demonstrated when the guy pulls off a 540 in the car. This video makes it look like a GTA game, which is a great thing. Thank God it hasent changed too much.
@bottom: Well that's just great. The lack of pedestrians in some open space areas brings a little cause for concern. It'd be nice to see how the ps3 fares.
Well i wouldnt bash the 360 just yet, ive mention in another news area of this site that, it might have to do what time of the day it is, like maybe late evening or at night might be when the streets are more bustling with people.
He had another video which he took down that had the full GTA4 intro,he was running that on Ps3.So unless he decided to sell his Ps3 copy and get the 360 version,this is running on the Ps3.
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I WANT THIS NOWWWWWWWWWWW PLZ I WANT IT NOW I THINK IM REAL TEARS R COMING OUT OF MY EYES IVE BEEN WAITING 4YRS FOR THIS GAME GUYS I WANT IT
Hardly any traffic This must be the 360 version I Expect a lot more sh!t going down on the PS3 version Ha Ha Xbox sucks
Oh and forget your own customizable soundtracks Bots !! Judging by the video the noise of your crappy. last gen, lets all hold GT4 back for the PS3, box You wont be able to hear the soundtrack
Why Why WHY didnt this person run someone over! Thats all i wanted to see! for the love of god if you have the leaked version plow into a group of ppl so we can see it!!!
Can't wait 6 more days!!!!
Made my day, can't wait.
That plays really smooth and it looks even more fun that what I'd though it'd be.
+hype.

More of the same with shinier graphics. Meh.
6 days left :)
