First GTA4 News...*UNCONFIRMED*

[martin_cranie]

I reckon San Andreas was reasonably big-although after 2months or so you had the map sussed...I reckon if they made this game 2/3 times the size of San Andreas it'd be perfect, although I dont want them to make it like True Crime where the map is enormous yet every building/street looks the same!

they have far more space to work with with the PS3 compared to XBOX 360...since Bluray is capable of 25GB of disc space-GTA 5 will be the biggest thing ever because I bet they'll exploit the whole 25GB and xbox will be made to look daft

cant wait til October for GTA 4 though will be truely amazing!

I get the feeling the whole Blu-Ray thing is rubbish. It only has a few more GB than the HDDVD's that the XBOX 360 uses anyway, so I doubt the game will be any better on PS3. I don't think the PS3 is going to be as good as hoped, and I say that as a Sony fan-boy.

Still, as long as GTA IV is awesome, all is well in my gaming life.

They won't utilise the large space available on Blu-Ray or HDDVD. It is too early as nobody knows which standard is essentially better and plenty of big-name companies are split between them. Games of an existing size on them is one thing, making them too big to fit on an 8GB dual layer DVD is another. Add to that the fact that the PC version won't ship with three dual-layer DVDs - I hope!

I'm getting a 360 soon, and this game will make it all the btter

 

[joshkinny]

fook me i want this game bad! must be really really stressfull making this game the amount of bloody hype and press it gets! and they never ever fail god love em!

things can only get better! ( and i know ive just got u singing that song lolol i know ive just sang it in my head lolol)

IMAGINE HOW GOOD OCTOBERS GONNA BE GTA4 PRO EVO 7!! AN OTHER OWWWW GOD ITS NOT THAT FAR AWAY EITHER!!!!

thinking about it you think oblivoins massive because your on a bloody horse or walking, travelling in a car at 100 mph will soon make it seem not so big.

So hopefully theres horses in gta 4 lol

so yer id expect a map the size of that atleast. id like a map just slightly bigger then san andras because one thing i love about gta is getting to know the map like if a person said drive to hepburn hights or whatever you knew exactly how to get there. some people dont like that some people do!

gta 4 on live with 32 people all on the same map used offline would be the best thing ever! but obviously ud get the one idiot from slogh sayin'you die biatch' as if hes from the hood, all shitsz and giggllz mofo!

but carcer city ive heard that before werent that in the first one? ahhhhh and actually if i remmeber rightly in gta 3 somone got off to carcer city and it was talked about freakquiently alot on most of gtas those radio stations, they best have a k rose station on it lolol nothin like shootin someone in the head to 'muma dont let your babys grow up to be cowboys lolol

 

[Gun_Runner]

my old computing teacher has friends who works with programming games...one of them with Rockstar London or something-but they helped with San Andreas and my teacher used to give me updates on it all the time lol

anyway, I prey that they dont make the map too big for GTA 4...it'll ruin the whole feel of the game. Although Im ultra glad theyre going for realism over a sort of cartoony-feel this time round

 

[joshkinny]

i was expecting gta 4 to look something like a scanner darkly if thats what its called, havent seen that film but saw the style its in and its pretty weird but good in a way

i wouldnt be suprised if they did tbh

 

[Gun_Runner]

na cause thats more cartoony than the previous GTA's...that Scanner Darkly thing reminds me of XIII or Shellshock something - its like a sort of shadow based cartoon thingy... I sure hope GTA dont go for that.

Just found screenshots here of what GTA SHOULD/COULD look like.










In the first picture the grass + rocks in the background look a bit off.. but the shine from the cars looks staggering! Also the picture of the city/people ...its like the sort of picture you'd see from an architect-like the ones you see of what the final building will look like with the people inside etc.

 

[mufcsean]

They look awesome

 

[RichB_33]

That first picture is of Saints Row.
The other two look awesome.

 

[Hunter]

Last picture is definetely fake, it's been around for over a year and was branded false quite some time ago. I highly doubt the middle picture is GTA4 either, I just don't think they would have the exact same buildings stretching across over miles. Would seem dull.

I can't see GTA4's Rockstar making a full 25GB game for the PS3 as mentioned. That would mean they have no room for improvement and therefore GTA5 would be somewhat of a let down in terms of environment etc. Game developers will always leave room for improvement for their next game and I doubt they'd want to create 2 completely different sized environments anyway for different consoles.

Can't wait for GTA4!

 

[Barry]

Yeah, i agree with you there. The San Andreas area was big enough for me, so i'd be happy if they had the GTA4 map a similar size, just allow us to have more interaction with buildings and the environment as a whole. Better AI for your recruited gang members wouldn't go a miss either, pissed me off the amount of times they got stuck on walls etc.

Exactly. If they just finetune existing elements, while adding some new ones as well I'm fine with it. GTA always had this certain cartoony look, I do hope they don't throw that overboard on the whole....as well as the humor.

Too true. They always leave room for improvements to the series in the future.

I just wonder what GTA4 has in store for us. Who is the main character this time, what missions will there be, what sort of transportation will be available to use, some certain interactions ofcourse, the weapons cool, the environment, the different cities etc. Eventually it will definitely be a great game, that's for sure.

Liberty City Stories was a sort of a dissapoitnment compared to San Andreas. You couldn't swim, you couldn't change clothes at any time you please, could not go the gym etc. But I'm expecting GTA4 to be like San Andreas bringing back all those options, and hopefully it will even exceed my (and I'm not alone here) expectations for the better. Rockstar never fails to amaze me.

Also, I hope they do not make the game too realistic where it doesn't feel like GTA anymore. Some few cartoony stuff will be alright with me, but on a more enhanced engine ofcourse.

Rock on GTA4!

 

[Gun_Runner]

Im hoping they bring back some stuff that was in Vice City (eg. robbing stores, using screwdrivers/hammers etc as weapons)


btw if anybody in here is a PC gamer... I seriously suggest you get your ass over to www.ign.com and search for Crysis! the best looking game I've EVER saw!

 

[Venolan]

If it is supposed to be the biggest game World made then it would also be the longest game made. I don't really want to drive for 30 minutes in a car to get from the start of a mission to the mission objective. Surely a map size of 50square miles will be big enough? It will be 3times bigger than San Andreas and would be more detailed, detail goes more than size :erm:

Big question(s) though...will our character be fully customized (Saint's Row except with voice) and is it Gangs? or Mafia or Assassin? This time round?

 

[Gun_Runner]

Nobody knows yet mate, it'd be amazing if you could make the guy look however you want though. We'll find out more in the Official Xbox Magazine next month + some screenshots cannot wait!

I hope we do get all the options from what San Andreas offered and much more on top. But if you look at PES6 and other games that where released for the first time on the next-gen console, they where very limited in the options available, alot of things had to be taken out.

This may not be the case with GTA4 because the guys at Rockstar have had plenty of time to work on the project since the launch of the Xbox 360, but it seems like a growing trend for games new to next-gen consoles to have limited options to that of the current-gen systems.

 

[Gun_Runner]

Yea but we all know thats coz PES6 was rushed for XBOX... GTA4 is gonna be released only for the PS3/XBOX 360 as far as Im aware, therefore itll be amazing probabaly(hopefully)

 

[Chuck Morris]

If it's only to be released on the next-gen consoles then it should be great, no need for them to worry about producing it for the current-gen consoles.

Remember us xbox owners will get the extra stories aswell
