Just for the PS3 + 360 I think, no reason for them to bring it out for xbox/ps2 since GTA 4 won't be released til October. Does anyone know what the song's called in the first GTA Vice City video? It doesn't seem like way back in 2001 when we had GTA 3! time flies.

I really hope this game has on-line capabilities there is so much that you could do aside from the death match you could have a career mode where you could be a firefighter dealing with random missions the computer sets. or you could be called out when people are going mad and blowing things up, or be a police man or a thief or simply a bum and just walk around there are so many possibilities.
Cannot wait for this. The games going to be great, well, after all it is GTA :cool:.

"Things Will Be Different" - Another ominous piece of marketing coming from Rockstar, if you're a subscriber to the Rockstar Games mailing list you will have seen this earlier today.

Been playing LCS on the PSP and must say it is pretty neat. VCS will be purchased ASAP too but when number 4 hits us I may well do a bit of come. Easily one of the greatest game franchises ever. I also wish Rockstar would sort out a hooligan game.
LCS was made by Rockstar Leeds you know Egg?

Yeah it says at the start. I wish these great game makers would knuckle down and make a proper tasty hooly game. Not like Hooligan storm over Europe which whilst funny at times is pretty wank.
Rockstar North produced The Football Factory didn't they? Maybe they've held back, so they could release one on 360 & PS3? Just look at Dead Rising with its hundreds of Zombies on screen, it would be minted.

I think they're really going to blow us away, I have a feeling its going to be mind-blowingly good. I just hope there is a zoo and rape in this one - hopefully rape of animals, that would be quite something.
yah, it would be great if they had animals, and children in this one to do with as you please

GTA IV Trailer, Not Teaser
An article on GamesRadar has removed our collective worries with word from Rockstar that we will indeed have a proper trailer. The article itself has GR's thoughts on the Top 7 Things GTA IV Needs, however the part you're most interested in is the following.
The official trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV is only a few days away as of this writing, and publisher Rockstar has promised that it won't just be some infuriatingly quick teaser. Instead, it'll offer up the first substantial look into what the game is all about, and internet speculation over what that might be has kicked the rumor mill into high gear.
Great news for everyone who is anticipating tomorrows release.
cant wait to see it

hmmm; never thought before but in the rockstar GTA IV sites code, there is a small bit of text stating

BarnDoor

Well I could have told you it was Big Lebowski related. The film itself is set in California, but then again San Andreas was set around that region. Maybe its a reference to the stars - perhaps Jeff Bridges or John Goodman will be doing voices? Fuck knows. Bowling is obviously a strong theme in the film though.

I'm pretty sure Rockstar North said that they would never include animals or children. Animals could change since a lot of games allow you to kill animals but the children one I'm not really suprised if they don't add them. This was before San Andreas.
I hope they don't put animals in, apart from cats maybe. ¬_¬ I also hope that if it takes place in London, you can travel to other countries, otherwise it'll be a bit wankish.
I hope they don't do a Getaway though, that was a terrible game set in London.
Aye I hope it's not set in London as well, I couldn't stand a game set by that awful awful accent.
The 70's might be some sort of a logical step as we've had the 60's, 80's and 90's.
This game won't be on PS2, will it?
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=38911657291347 83717
I hope they don't put animals in, apart from cats maybe. ¬_¬
Bully had dogs in it who only really appeared on the paper rounds and would chase you. So dogs are an almost cert. My guess is more changes in weather will be apparent too, snow is an almost definite.
The 70's might be some sort of a logical step as we've had the 60's, 80's and 90's.
I'm pretty confident it'll be set in the present day (2006ish). I may be just clutching at straws, but I reckon they'll follow the GTA 3 format of present day first, then going in the past. Maybe 70's there.
This game won't be on PS2, will it?
Nah, 360/PS3 only.
Nah, 360/PS3 only.
That's shit then. The first GTA game I won't get.
I fucking hope it's not set in space or something daft like that. :rolleyes: I wouldn't mind the 70s like, hopefully they never go further back than that though, otherwise I'll feel betrayed and raise hell.

hostage taking
rape
kidnappings
proper co-op where you can get in different cars if you want and there is a splitscreen(when you get far enough apart from each other)
BarnDoor
29-03-2007, 22:25
and hopefully sex with animals and kids
Loads of tramps who actually mug you, gang beat you and when you die they pickpocket you
more gang members
More sex with kids
Proper empire building
Being able to commit sodomy in a busy street with coppers passing by and not giving a shit
Paedophilia
Necrophilia
If its in London lets have a tube train and some hooligans steaming in as you chain gun the cunts
Did i mention sex with kids?

Yes indeed. I dream of kicking tramps to death like in the warriors. Or even nailing one alive to railway lines? That would be sick but funny especially if you could gangrape him as he is about to run over by a locomotive.
Or maybe make two fight to the death for a bottle of whiskey and when one comes to get his gift you smash it into his face and set him alite?

Yep, for those who haven't managed to get onto the site:
The first trailer of Grand Theft Auto IV has finally put an end to the guessing game involving the city where the next generation installment of GTA will take place.
Well, it seems GTA IV will take place once again in New York City, the most frequently featured fictional setting in the GTA series.
The trailer shows a few well known landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, the Flatiron building, the Brooklyn Bridge and the Empire State.
Apparently the trailer was posted on www.gametrailers.com however that's become too busy and crashed now as well. Never thought this many people would be desperate to see the new GTA trailer. Woo!
those screenshots do look amazing.

I don't want to play as a Cossack!
why ps3; why not xbox360?
I've recently got the Xbox 360 so that will obviously be my preference. It's treating me beautifully so far. Oh yes, GTA4, only about 6 months away. :mellow:

well that trailer was fu**ing great, new york has never looked so good roll on October.

Yeah I know the story's based around him, etc. But what if you could choose a different character? We know shite all about GTA IV really, obviously except from the new info and what the movie tells us. There might be two individual storylines. Expecting too much? Maybe. Expecting a 'surprise' in the game, possibly a 'extra character'? Possible due to the lack of info, although I'm satisfied if there isn't. 110% satisfied, it's GTA!

If only those breed cunts hadn't blown up the world trade center we could have piled up there and dived off
I just wanked, died, then managed to regain life, then i forced myself on a child and sodomised it.
If coney island is in this i may shit myself and have a stroke.
What a fucking game
I was worried as my computer got cancerous but i got there
Did anyone bar me see the russian guy breaking in a minor by the pier?
First thing I'm doing is diving off the empire state building or Statue of Liberty.
I'm quite excited now but in the morning it will set in that I won't be able to get the game for another six months. :no:
not getting my hope's up but if rockstar throw in on line multi player, this really will be a perfect game.
Only 6 months left? Sheeit! Long wait, although I'm sure it will go quickly. I hate waiting for games, probably the most annoying thing around, although it is good in a way, as to when you eventually get the game you are/should be extremely happy. Then you can play it as you wish.

So we're all in agreement then - first thing everyone's doing is scaling the Empire State Building or Statue of Liberty and diving head first off it? No parachutes of course, they are for minor breakers.
Genius idea for a mission which you could tell Rockstar would do - if there's a zoo, they should have a huge gorilla break out and scale the Empire State Building, and you have to shoot it down with a Bi-Plane. Its begging to be done. Fuck knows about context, but who gives a shit about that.
I want to be able to hijack ferries with people on them and sink the cunts.

Was I the only one disappointed that all the speculation of possible locations for the new GTA and it ends up at Liberty City? I was hoping for something fresh but I guess Liberty City has to do.
Viperized
30-03-2007, 00:24
Liberty City? I assumed this was New York.
I wonder if planes will be in the game? -__-
Location
The game will take place in a version of New York. The name of the state is unknown. I've always said it might be called New Liberty, because it looks like they are continuing the trend of "fake" cities/state names. Liberty City will be part of this state, but as we can see, there is much more to this state than just LC. Liberty City itself has not changed, aside from the obvious graphical upgrade. Now, anyone remember Shoreside Vale in GTA 3 and LCS? It had tunnels inside it's mountains, that were blocked off. These tunnels lead to the other sections of this un-named state, that LC is in. In LCS, there is a sign that says "Upstate". So we can assume that the game will take place in an entire state, which includes Liberty City. We can also assume that there will be countryside, including the mountains in LC. Don't get pissed because we're going back to LC again, there will be much more to the map. And for all you know, we might visit other cities/states/countries anyway. The Empire State Building is in the trailer, as well as various other well known New York landmarks, most of which we never saw in LC/GTA 3.
I was going to mention something like this earlier today. I always wondered where them tunnels went.
That's just a guy's opinion btw.

Well I personally don't think they will have the old Liberty City in the game, there's little point, but for all we know there could certainly be other states/cities. That would be great, because there could be long drives in between and opportunities for countryside, mountains, rivers, forests, swamps, deserts and all that wank. I demand there be some sort of Grand Canyon and Niagara Falls type bullshit.

Liberty City? I assumed this was New York.
Well, Liberty City is New York. I'm not exactly pissed off it being in Liberty City again as out of all the settings in GTA, Liberty City was the best but I was hoping for something a bit newer that was all. Especially the fact that they have kept us guessing for awhile. They have used Liberty City in GTA, GTA III, GTA: SA (Briefly), GTA: LCS. This will probably be the best GTA out of the lot though.

Also some other signs with Liberty. Like the Ferry Tunnel has Liberty City but I think some of the letters in Liberty are not there (vandalism.)
Just realised, with this being in New York (Liberty City)...you really think they're gonna include planes?
And another note: remember that the first SA trailer had just Los Santos, so there could be other cities on the way.
I hope rockstar go full out on the gore, shoot some one in the head brains and skull land on the floor like with manhunt bollocks to all this games are to violent these days shit.

Not much shown other than the scenery. Why was the trailer rated 18 too? It has absolutely no violence.
I haven't played much of GTA III, so I don't mind the fact that its in Liberty City. If you look under the Liberty Tree frame, I think it says: 'Welcome to Liberty City'. At the beginning, the lettering on a building says 'Liberteen'.

PS3 no doubt will be class. But if you love FPS, 'Adult games' (No say, Pop Idol..) etc. then you should choose the 360. I myself am sticking with mine due to the fantastic games coming out soon (Bioshock, Alan Wake, John Woo presents Stranglehold, GTA IV just to name a few). It's a wonderful gaming experience mate, Xbox Live is the sheeit too.

Aye I've heard that about the live stuff on Xbox, I guess I'll wait to see which PES7 is better then make an informed choice. Shenmue on the Xbox would of course sway me, if such a game was to be released.
Back on topic the game looks fucking brilliant, I love the Ruski already.
Original?
30-03-2007, 11:10
The 360 has no more 'adult' games than the PS3 will, it's utter nonsense and completely based on the PS2 range which included titles like Pop Idol and Guitar Hero, however they were largely in addition to the Xbox titles, the PS2 had far more titles than the Xbox.
The main competition is between the controllers, the 360 is probably better for FPS due to the positioning of the analog sticks. Any game that requires the D-Pad will require a Dualshock, as there is nothing on the 360 pad that constitutes a D-Pad, ergo anyone who wants to play with the D-Pad on PES7 will likely want to go with the PS3.
Konami also have a wonderful relationship with Sony, which is something to take into consideration. At the end of the day however people will be enamored with whichever console they obtain.

Not really. PS3 has the same type of games.
Xbox 360 = 8GB Dual Layer DVD.
PS3 = 50GB Blue-Ray Disc.
How the hell can the Xbox 360 version have 10 hours additional gameplay? If anything, the PS3 is more likely to have it. It's got a far, far bigger storage capacity.
because we will be downloading the new content onto the hardrive
Both consoles will get extra content according to this, so who cares?
During Microsoft's 2006 Eł press conference on May 9, it was announced that Grand Theft Auto IV would be available for the Xbox 360 and that Rockstar will offer exclusive episodic content via Xbox Live for the Xbox 360 version. This had been confirmed by Rockstar, announcing two extra, exclusive episodes. Later is was revealed that the PS3 will be releasing exclusive content different to the Xbox 360
Peter Moore, head of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business division announced that Rockstar Games is working on two downloadable packs for GTA IV exclusively on the 360, which will probably be available within months of the game's release date. Moore described the downloads as "epic episode packs," and not just extra cars or characters. A press release during the conference said that the packs would add "hours of entirely new gameplay" to the game. There have been no details on pricing of the downloads revealed. The nature of exclusivity on these episodes is still in vague detail.
Both from wiki.
I expect the beginning of the game to be set around the docks, with the Russian having that pretty tramp-ish attire. Having just arrived as an illegal immigrant.
I fully expect it to be across the whole New York state (rumours of the name 'New Liberty'), but with the city being the majority and main focus.
I wonder if you still have to eat and exercise? I enjoyed doing it in SA.
That beard and hair has to go an'all :huh:
EDIT - a guy was saying how he thought the guy might be Jerkov from GTA 2, who was also apparently Russian.
As a say, a bit of tramp. Can't wait to fit him up with a cleanly-shaven face and a suit.
My guess for his name is Dmitri. :huh:
Yeah Dan, I just read a comment about 'Jerkov' on Youtube. It could mean your him before he's the leader of the Mafia, or it could mean you aint him at all, but his enemy.

Also from wiki:

Little story I just found:
Chapter 1:
Gents,
I have information that may be huge, I am about to relate to you an incident that occured this week. The information I am about to pass you could cost me my job if I was found to be passing it on, hence the nick name.
On Thursday 8th March 2007, at the bequest of a client, I was conducting a counter surveillance task along with my team in direct response to the repeated sighting of a suspicious vehicle in the vicinity of the clients property located in ManHattan, New York City.
Shortly after identifying the vehicle in question, the Team Leader decided a direct confrontation of the occupants was the most expeditious way forward. I, along with two others confronted the three male occupants of a 2005 GMC Suburban.
The Suburban was configured with an array of computer equipment in the back, a substantial amount of digital capture devices were mounted on the dash and the antenna located on the roof was similar to the small condan/tapestry antenna that I have seen previously on vehicles for tracking purposes.
The driver of the suburban produced credentials that showed he was an employee of Rockstar Games, my two other team members were satisfied and didn't realise the significance of the event, I opened the passenger side door and looked into the rear of the truck where one of the males shut down several LCD screens, but my heart skipped a beat as I looked at a folder on the desk which was emblazed with the "IV" official logo with the Manhattan Skyline clearly shown within the letters.
I tried to appear as calm as possible and walked away from the vehicle.
Make of it what you will.
Deepthroat.
That was posted 3 weeks ago here: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=269166&st=0
Then in the following few days he had a bit of an adventure...
Chapter 2:
Gents,
Things have taken a turn for the sinister, almost immediately after I made the post an eerie chain of events was initiated. I left my hotel room to go out for a packet of cigarettes, not 100 meters down the street I noticed that I had a tail, these guys we're good, their rotation amongst operators was frequent and seamless, at one point the surveillance team were ahead of me which is a very advanced technique.
I pulled out every trick in the book, I walked contra-flow on 5th Avenue during rush hour, stepped of the subway as the doors were closing at the 52nd street station, discarded my jacket, walked into Macys via the front entrance and exited at the rear, into a cab and down to Tribeca. A mobile tail was immediately initiated by the team that was on me, they were every bit as competent as their foot team. At a dive bar in Tribeca I was engaged by a female who was blatantly out of my league, who started asking some very searching questions.
I abandoned the bar and made my way back to the hotel via the subway, taxi and on foot, taking the most obscure route I could. All the time experiencing the crushing intimidation that is present when you are aware that you are under surveillance. At the hotel my computer noted 467 attempted incursions at my firewall, it was holding, but only just.
Paranoia took over and I began a search of the room, within minutes I had pulled a Lo Jack from the telephone, the fire detector, my freshly laundered cargo pants and there was a peculiar solid metallic object located behind my right eyelid. I looked through my door peep hole to see a surprisingly burly cleaner polishing repeatedly around my door.
As I turned to the window I caught a red dot traversing across the wall and fall neatly onto my chest, as I dived for cover a round penetrated the window and impacted the wall immediately behind where I had been standing. Glancing at the hole that the round had made I estimated 7.62 mm green spot round, as standard in NATO sniper weapons.
I bolted from the room, I executed a strong side face smash on the burly cleaner and made good my escape via the laundry chute, at the rear of the hotel I mugged a vagrant for his clothes and sprinted for Hells Kitchen as the now be-suited assassins ran down the fire escapes.
I am writing this from a internet cafe in HK, I must keep mobile, these men will stop at nothing. I now fear for my life and my dog is not aswering the phone at home.
Play GTA IV for me guys, maybe they have 360's on the big cloud in the sky.
My god, my credit card has been declined by the teller and there is a tactical team cordoning off the street. I need to move.
Keep the truth alive.
Kind regards,
Deepthroat.
Chapter 3:
Gents,
I now feel the only others I can trust are the people on this forum. I have moved, I exited the internet cafe through a rear exit, mustering everything I could to kick through the padlocked door as the Rockstar Henchmen piled in the front entry point. Sprinting down 57th Street, across 8th, 7th, 6th and 5th avenue I knew I had to make Grand Central where I keep an emergency identity.
The NYPD have been suspiciously looking the other direction whenever I pass, and the goons in the black Suburban now overtly trail my movements with a nonchalant arrogance as if they know they have me caught.
Fumbling with my keys at the left-luggage storage I grabbed my passport, driving license and enormous false moustache and made for the exit. A dazzling light beamed down on me from a suspiciously silent helicopter and a booming voice with a peculiar eastern European accent barked orders over a loud speaker, insisting that if I surrendered that I would be treated humanely.
I had only one option, I ran hard and fast at the bridge that was 200 meters south of where I was stood, I lept over the wall and braced for impact. As if in slow motion a subway train emerged from the tunnel and I landed centrally with a sickening crunch.
I surfed the train for what felt like an eternity, before leaping off just prior to the Brooklyn Bridge. I am now freezing cold, drenched in sweat and stood around a burning oil drum with Jake and Fred. Fred has only one tooth and claims he is a former Vice President of Tahiti.
Jake is being extremely generous with his moonshine in order that Fred may attempt to remove the object behind my eye with his razor which he insists is only a week old. I am typing this on my Blackberry which, annoyingly, is running low on power.
I will endeavour to contact you soon.
What doesn't kill us..........
Deepthroat.
PS. I will reveal my identity as soon as I am sure there are no Rockstar Moles amongst you.
Chapter 4:
Gents,
After a long, cold night under Brooklyn Bridge I awoke to find that Jake and Fred had kindly relieved me of my shoes, and then relieved themselves on me, which possibly explains my dreams of mild Mediterranean waves lapping over my feet as I relax on the beach whilst being fanned by a surgically enhanced French peasant girl.
I snapped awake, alert, ready, and immediately began scanning the area for signs of the pursuing foe, the relentless mob of Rockstar Heavies that sought me high and low. I observed an aircraft in a high altitude holding pattern, whilst it may have been the overnight flight from London; I knew in my heart that it was in fact a Predator Drone laden with sophisticated observation equipment and the odd Hellfire Missile.
I moved to a small alleyway which ran deep into China Town, I observed the movements of the locals, no doubt each of whom was aware that there was a glorious bounty for whoever returned my head to Rockstar HQ. For the first time I realized that Rockstar had influence in every corner of modern life, they had the Police in their pocket and officials in the highest levels of Government.
I waited for a small, inconspicuous vehicle to trundle down the alley, a blue Volkswagen drew level with me and I pounced forward driving my fist through the glass and snatching the keys, I flung open the door and reached inside to haul the driver from the seat. To my utmost embarrassment I was faced with a sweet old lady, but I flung her out anyway, she just went a little further than the average citizen. I jumped into the car and hit the gas, I was shocked as I was pinned to the seat as the car screamed towards 60 MPH in short order, the frisky old bat had tuned the engine to a ridiculas degree.
This did not add up, I pulled down the sun visor and my fears were confirmed, the ID Card bore her picture, the sweet old lady who's hips I had no doubt rendered useless was a Rockstar employee. The rear window smashed and I heard a weapon report behind me. I ducked low, hammered the gas, dropped the gears and the VW Golf struggled for grip and fishtailed towards the bridge.
They were onto me; I knew that the Rockstar Operation Centre would be alive with activity, satellites being re-tasked, radio nets alive with transmissions, tactical teams being scrambled and an army of black suited white males with sunglasses silently sealing off the city. I accelerated over the bridge and breathed a huge sigh of relief as I crested the centre and saw there were no checkpoints and traffic was flowing nicely. My mind wandered to Buster, my faithful mongrel who no longer knocked the handset from the cradle when the phone rang, I knew they had got to him, but I could trust him to say nothing.
I clocked that it was 40 Km to JFK, but I couldn't keep this car, the deceitful granny would have relayed my actions to the lynch mob that was closing in fast. I saw my opportunity, Dunkin Donuts crept into view, and I knew what would be in the car park, a fleet of shiny new Ford Taurus all neatly flying the flag the for the NYPD. I pulled in and acted fast, I jacked the first car in the row, it wasn't tricky and the car started nicely on the hot-wire.
I've had an opportunity to charge my Blackberry, had some day old doughnuts and I'm now sat at the rear of JFK getting ready for my next move, there is an old Cessna parked just across the fence. The Rusky Pilots are indulged in an orgy of vodka and pontoon, I can make out talk of Europe and I can assure you, when they go, I go.
I'm monitoring the police net and they have initiated a State wide red alert for a kidnapped child, they are airing my description on the television and radio at fifteen minute intervals, I have heard on the news that a transvestite I met once has come forward and claimed that I am the father of her child, they are also suggesting that I was responsible for the death of Diana and that I habitually make trips to Iceland to slaughter baby seals, for fun.
They are going after my credibility, guys. They know that credibility is the only currency of any value in this game. They want people to know that I'm lying so that when this gets big nobody will believe me.
Vladimir has just kicked the tire of his plane, which I think qualifies as his pre-flight checks.
I'm making my move; it's too risky to stay in NYC.
Deepthroat.
Chapter 5:
Firstly, let me apologies for the length of time since my last update. My situation becomes more critical by the hour.
Using the radio in the jacked Police car I jumped in on the Air Traffic Control net and denied Vladimir’s request for lift off until they had cleaned up the discarded rubbish which they had left on the edge of the runway. I also, quite childishly, sent a Virgin Atlantic flight full of German tourists to the wrong gate hoping that they would be delayed for at least an hour and that their world renowned sense of humor would be tested.
Sure enough, one of the Rusky aviators was dispatched out of the back of the smoky Cessna to collect the remnants of an afternoon spent drinking their own body weight in finest Siberian Vodka.
I scaled the fence, ran at the Russian lackey and drove my elbow down hard on his shoulder, he crumpled to the ground and I crashed punches onto his head, preying that I could produce enough force to knock him out cold.
He seemed to be out for the count; I stripped him of his flight suit and boots and quickly donned the enormous false moustache I had picked up from Grand Central. The Russian awoke and looked truly shocked as he saw the image of himself standing above him.
I quickly dropped another punch to put him to sleep for another few minutes. I could hear impatient voices emerging from the plane so I quickly moved the limp body of the poor soul who I had just beaten and stripped to behind a small concrete wall and set off running on to the back of the Cessna.
On board the plane I slammed the door shut and looked toward the cockpit, Vladimir craned his head around and looked at me, I gave him the thumbs up, he waved and then turned back to his controls and started taxi-ing down to his designated runway.
I peered out of the windows, checking that I had pulled off my little stunt without alerting the airport authorities. All was looking good; I thought we were clear and then, nightmare.
About 400 meters behind us a black Lincoln with tinted windows power slid onto the taxi way that we were traveling on and accelerated hard in our direction. The Lincoln gained rapidly and pulled up along side. Vladimir spouted Russian obscenities and seemed to insinuate that he was fine to fly and didn’t fell drunk at all. I knew that the intent of those within the Lincoln was far more dubious.
A torso emerged from the sun roof, a tall well built figure clad in black fatigues, a tactical vest, balaclava and insanely large goggles. The sinister figure was reasonably amusing until he leveled a HK MP5 in my direction.
I threw the door open and kicked the side of the weapon hard, I clipped the magazine release catch and watched as the clip tumbled down the road behind us. I then knocked back the cocking handle and ejected the one remaining chambered round, rendering the weapon useless.
The masked assassin threw the weapon into the car; I leaned out of the plane at full stretch and grabbed his pistol from his tac-vest. I lined up the sights of the Glock 17 on my challengers forehead, he looked stunned and slowly raised his hands.
“Tell them that I let you live,”
I hollered above the noise of the Cessna engines.
“They’ll never let you get away,”
He replied.
I paused then emptied the magazine into the engine block and front tire, the Lincoln veered sharply to the left and flipped several times before exploding into a disproportionately large fireball.
I sprinted forward and screamed at Vladimir to lift off; he looked at me with wide eyes and pushed forward on the planes throttle. Seconds later the Cessna picked up speed and creaked and groaned as the wheels left Terra Firma and eased into the hazy New York sky.
I scanned the horizon through the cockpit window whilst Vladimir was making wisecracks about the “Silly Americans” and their stringent drink flying rules.
I felt the pesky object behind my eye and wished I had a way of ridding myself of this Rockstar implanted parasite that relayed my every move to their global command centre.
Vladimir still seemed convinced that I was his engineer, despite the mortal combat that had occurred between the murderous agents and I just feet behind him. I hoped they didn’t have any sort of inappropriate work place relationships occurring on board.
Settling down into the aircraft I checked my Blackberry while we still had signal and noticed that I had an email from an old friend of mine who now worked for the agency. He informed me that the following agencies were on high alert and actively pursuing me – CIA, MI5, MI6, FBI, ATF, DEA, INL, Rockstar, Border Control and, strangely, The Woman’s Auxiliary Balloon Corp.
I managed to get a look at the flight plan, fully expecting a nice Trans-Atlantic flight to Europe. I gazed at the maps and the shipping manifest; we were shipping 3500 dehydrated Haggis to Bogota, Columbia.
I let the information sink in and started running through my contacts in South America, Bogota is a lawless hell hole populated by a combination of Mercs, Spooks, Drug Cartels and corrupt Military and Police, I should be right at home. I was jolted from my day dream by the appearance of something on the horizon, it was something I had seen before, it looked like a pair of angry wasps intent on stinging my nether regions, it was two AH-64 Apache attack helicopters.
Dammit, they closed fast on the decrepit aircraft on which I was travelling, and Vladimir’s pathetic rate of climb kept us within striking distance of the Rockstar death machines manned by vicious soldiers of fortune with the expressed desire of using my nipples as target practice.
The lead helicopter started to strafe the plane with its lethal 30mm Cannon; luckily we were still a sufficient distance away for the fire to be largely inaccurate. I moved to the cockpit and franticly gestured towards the helicopters to Vladimir, he looked startled and asked me to go out back and hide the Vodka.
“Climb you fool,”
I shouted. He pulled back hard on the sticks and the Cessna went into a steep climb and pitched toward the sky. The helicopters gave chase but peeled off at about 16000 feet. Thank God.
The rest of the flight to Bogota was uneventful, I spent the time fashioning a parachute from old socks and shirts that were lying about the back of the plane, I planned a HALO jump into the outskirts of Bogota, lack of oxygen may be a problem but I figure that I’ll make it.
I made the jump with no problems, I have landed in dense primary jungle and I estimate that I am about 15 KM from Bogota. I have established an observation post on a small village which appears to be producing a phenomenal amount of Narcotic.
I have been here for about 24 hours and I am meeting one of my contacts this evening, he’s a ruthless private soldier, I forget who he works for, the highest bidder no doubt. He thinks that he will be able to put some work my way. I’ll have to start at the bottom though.
A Military Patrol passed within 50 Meters of my location earlier, they looked like a regular Columbian army patrol, with one glaring difference, they wore the Blue Rockstar Insignia on their right sleeve.
I am now planning my Agent Contact for tonight. I’m going to have to establish myself here so that I can figure a way out of this mess.
For the time I am safe, I hope the canopy is not allowing my GPS implant to give an accurate fix on my location.
Rockstar are chasing me harder than ever, losing some of their agents at JFK has only motivated them more.
I will keep you updated.
Adios for now.
Deepthroat.
The post above was on the 13th March.
CHAPTER 6:
Gents,
At about 1500hrs local time on the 14th March 2007 in Bogota, Columbia, I was apprehended by Rockstar Agencies supported by Columbian Anti Narcotics Police and a Combined Federal Task Force. I was moved to a secure facility located in a disused subway station in New York City and subjected to prolonged interrogation and re-education.
I can now confirm that I do not possess, and have never possessed any information pertaining to the forthcoming game commonly known as Grand Theft Auto IV. The previous posts made by me were the confused ramblings of a paranoid mind and any similarities to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.
Yours Faithfully,
Scott.
Obviously the guys got a good imagination on him. But it certainly can't be coincedence that he managed to get right the setting and the New York skyline in the IV logo, and the mention of a Russian (Vladimir = main character?). The story in the first post could well be true, and he just made it up from then on as he got a good reception. Alternatively, he could actually be from Rockstar. Which would lead me to believe his following posts could have some connection to missions, and locations for the downloadable content perhaps (Bogota/London?). He hasn't posted since the trailer's been released as yet, but I'll keep my eyes peeled. Good read anyway.
Double post, but meh.

Russian looks like one cool bad-ass here.
I think that story might have certain aspects of truth but it also seems ridiculously far-fetched.
I was reading about the Deepthroat guy earlier today. People were talking about him last night after the trailer was released, saying he was right about things, I didn't pay much attention to it though.
The Russian looks much better there, I am starting to love him. :huh:
awesome , i got a free subscription to gameinformer when i bought my 360.
Ten things you mightned of seen

very interesting part is the "Visit Vice City!"part
As a say, a bit of tramp. Can't wait to fit him up with a cleanly-shaven face and a suit.
My guess for his name is Dmitri. :huh:
With the Elvis cut and the white suit? I'm going for it :ninja:

I heard a rumour about that aswell Dan. Possibly travel to all 3 Cities. Another rumour was some of it is set in Tokyo so maybe you can jet about a bit if you have cash. I am unsure but I am as giddy as a school girl after discovering alternate uses for Cucumber
Not really interested in the looks of it, more of what's in store qua gameplay and innovation. They better come up with something new as various games have already beaten the genre to a pulp.
Has anybody got Vice City Stories? Is it any good?
is the main charater in the new GTA russian?

Looks that way. Unless of course Rockstar have really tricked us all and it's indeed the main villain of the game.

I do indeed own it. It's pretty fun, but Rockstar didn't exactly put much effort into it. No where near as well thought out and presented as the other GTA games. Graphics feel a little worse than SA. Vice City is also the worst setting ever as everything looks/feels the same no matter where you are. I only finished Bully - a much better game in every respect - a few days before I got VCS so I may be a little too critical. My personal preferences aside, it's still a good game.
