GTA IV scans looking good

Looks like there really is no stopping the baddest boy of them all. The Official PlayStation Magazine UK has published these images and it had us riled up for the newest chapter of videogame crime sprees, Grand Theft Auto IV. Check them out:

The game may still have quite some time before it hits the Sony PlayStation 3 and the Microsoft Xbox 360, but we can already tell that this one's going to be awesome. The visuals are looking to take next-gen gaming a notch higher. Combine that with the trademark explosive gameplay of the series and you've got a recipe for mayhem.

Publisher Take-Two Interactive and developer Rockstar Games have been under fire lately from different concerned sectors who criticize the content of their games. The firms dealt with the issue in a calm and collected manner and that seems to have worked wonders. The franchise's notoriety has since become a synergy for its popularity, making the Grand Theft Auto series one of the most financially successful in history.

# GTA4 is the game...Guest 2007-04-27 17:05
Grand Theft Auto 4 is THE GAME OF THE YEAR. No matter what you say, this is the game people are waiting for, this is the game that'll become the game of the year, this game will sell lots lots of xbox 360s and ps3s. So far I'm impressed with Rockstar, looks like they will take this whole "grand theft auto experience" to a whole new level...



I'm hyped.

# I need to see...Guest 2007-04-27 17:05
some of the action videos like the ones they made for san andreas because the fact that they didnt go bigger than san andreas is pulling my excitement away and focusing it on halo 3 because Im seeing so many great videos from that



I hope that rockstar releases a hot gameplay trailer with alot of action soon, so I can be more excited about GTAIV, cause right now halo 3 is taking over the world.

well i see where your coming from but your views are kind of weird. You say it worries you that they couldnt go bigger then san andreas which makes you want halo 3 more... well halo 3 has gfx which surpass halo 2 by not that much. the resolutions are higher sharper textures and slightly better lighting but overall it doesnt look very next gen although its a must have game and i lvoe the halo series i just expected more visually and i see gta is doing that for this gen

# Not so sureGuest 2007-04-27 18:11
Now dont get me wrong here ive had probably hundreds of hours of fun with the previous gta games it just what is it that there doing in THIS gta that i didnt do in the others? I may be spacing some major features but the only thing different is more variety in pedestrians/cars, better graphics, less load times, and some sort of change in the mission structure. I haven't been able to read this article but i doubt it says anything more then what others already know. Rockstar while at times they can be truly excellent(gta3) and others times they can be very mediocre(portin g psp games to a ps2? manhunt-it sold on nothing more then the shock factor). While i do have faith in them i just hope they do something drastic in gta4 otherwise i may just rent/buy it used and return it. In my opinion they should completely re-work the way AI responds to the character. If the game comes out and i can still run a red light, knock a light-pole over, and then peel out on the sidewalk in-front of peds and cops alike with people only getting out of my way(or if you so much as rear end a cop and they attempt to kill you) ill be very unimpressed. Now im not saying it should be super realistic I just think it could have to much more depth if they tone down the absurdness.

I think it will not bring much new like San Andreas did. THis game is anothere GTA 3 with better graphics more ability and a gay ass russian guy. SA had 3 huge islands with military boats planes. YOur house could be a airport. YOu could gamble. What will GTA4 bring to us.

well can people start off by stop calling this nothing but GTA3.... They re did the whole city and made it a realistic new york not that bs liberty city you saw in gta 3 which was not really anything like new york(in someways it resembled but not by much) this will be a completely new city to all and NYC is quite big don think its just gta 3's city and thats all this game has been remapped with great gfx etc lets jsut hope the gameplays good to

What system will run this game better. The XBOX 360 vs the PS3. I can't wait for this game to come out but I also can't wait to see the difference between these consoles.



I've heard that the graphics will not be much different between the consoles. I still believe the XBOX will have a small improvement in the graphics though.



I own a PS3 and it is hard saying the XBOX is better but that's what I think. It's hard to guess how much space this game needs. Obviously it's got to fit onto a disk for the XBOX, this means if it's larger than the XBOX disk space, it will need to be compressed which leads to lower sound quality etc.



The PS3 could have an advantage with audio quality because it just has so much space on the disk. It will be a long time before games on the Blu-Ray will need to be compressed.



I don't know. But right now I wish I worked at Rock Star. I could be playing GTA4!!! If I did, I'd leak as much videos I can before I got fired LOL!!!

# one of the most over-rated software to-dateGuest 2007-04-27 21:59
no offense against GTA but this game is higly over-rated



the fact that many "Average" Joe people love it is the biggest indicator that its super-ficial and requires no thinking and serve no purpose



this is exactly why a Gimmick like the wii is selling,and games like Madden over-sell master-peices like shadow of the collusus and Okami every-day....90% of human beign are drone,brain-washed and fools



but then humans have done worse...



Humans worshipped Fire...



humans worshiped cows...



humans have been killing each other for naive illusions such as Justice and Morals and heavenly virgins



in comparison...over-hyping a game like GTA is nothing serious,this type of attitude is wriiten in the human genes



its important to say that i brought GTA as an example of many over-rated games,and i do not simply mean only GTA



the bottom-line is that this game is not bad,it has good qualities but stop hyping it...and stop hyping Halo3 while youre at it



the market is starting to target the masses,the brain-less drones...these drones have money,they are the majority of the community,and they will cartainly drive innovation from software away



i guess thinking about it is futile..

# Madlax, You're Wrong Beyong BeliefGuest 2007-04-28 14:16
Have you even played the other Grand Theft Auto games? Have you seen the amazing story it has? The awesome character development? The great voice overs? The most innovative sandbox gameplay around? The Massive worlds? The comedy? Are you retarded?



OK, let me put it this way. You're an average Joe that no one care's what your opinion is. EGM gave all of the Grand Theft Auto's 9/10s and 10/10s, so yeah. A respected gaming magazine says you're wrong.

# no no noGuest 2007-04-28 18:23
@alex You really think GTA games have great stories? Theyre story are all bits and pieces of movies(vice city=scarface SA=so many different bits from early 90s gang movies although gta3 from my memory was pretty original) great voice overs? yea right, so many times in that game the characters will be shooting at someone but there voice doesn't seem like it, etc. Character development...lol really? why is it that CJ/Tommy portray horrible emotion in terms of what they've done previously (such as a person asking you to do something "bad" and the cj/tommy will show restraint regardless of what youve done previously) and none of the characters ever actually go anywhere they are the same person at the end of the game as they are at the beginning, no development at all. I can agree with the open world and that the games have EXCELLENT humor. And don't let a review site/magazine sway you ive read tons of reviews for games that were very high scores that just don't play well and vice versa there is also a large amount of shady dealings that do happen in the game-dev/game-journalist relationships(g ame company paying for the journalists to get trips and etc). They're actually was a article up here recently that talked a bit bout some of it not that im saying they always lie just that often times reviews are "padded". Still none of that changes that rockstar HASNT shown anything for gta4 that really makes me want to buy it.
