Rockstar quiet on Grand Theft Auto IV, QJ speaks up |
Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360 Tags: playstation 3 updates, PS2, Rockstar Games, YouTube
Ó
Yesterday's release of the Grand Theft Auto IV trailer was very much anticipated. Avid GTA fans will have noticed that the release brought down Rockstar's website, as well as other large gaming sites such as GameTrailers and GameVideos. Granted, our servers were a little loaded and some people couldn't get through, but luckily we found a YouTube video of the trailer just in time to save you guys from the awful wait.
So what came of this trailer? Well, it was amazing graphically, representing the city of New York in amazing detail. However, the developers at Rockstar Games have decided to keep hush about the trailer and have not enlightened us on anything we had the pleasure of viewing.
Luckily the internet has come to the rescue, with the trailer picked to pieces by eagle-eyed fans. In order to prevent confusion we'll only post the fact and let you speculate amongst yourselves! Here's what the trailer tells us:
- GTA IV is based loosely on New York, but is in fact the Liberty City (maybe the state, not just the city) you remember from GTA III. You can find the words "Liberty City" plastered on a docked tanker in the trailer, a ferry and the infamous "LCPD" squad cars in the trailer.
- The vehicles look post-2000, including BMW and sports car lookalikes
- GTA IV ditches the old Renderware engine for Rockstar Games' superior Table Tennis RAGE engine. A Rockstar representative told Gamespot: "We can confirm that all footage in the trailer was captured directly from 720p gameplay running real time in our Rage engine on a next-gen gaming console."
- An in-game ad on the trailer shows a sign which says "Visit Vice City - $300". Is this evidence that we will be able to visit the city or just a gimmick? For the next-generation GTA, we'd bet on it being the former. Will it resemble the PS2/PSP Vice City?
- Birds, pedestrians and drivers have advanced physics in the trailer, for example, a driver can be seen adjusting a rear view mirror. It's the small things that count.
- Finally, will the Russian chap be the main protagonist?

-Um.. PS3 has better graphics, and Wii has better games.
-The world has voted PS3 to win Console War by '09
-Blu-Ray is the future, the capacity and speed outwrited the X360s , 200$ atachement by about 6times and the Wiis normal by 12 times
-Wii sports did NOT outsell all of the PS3 games. If you were any smart, the release of Motorstorm and Oblivion IV have just about conquered the Wiis all time record.
-OHH and since the PSP is getting a new hardware this year, start of '08, that means 2 years as well Jakazz! Oh and the PS3 will not have to be upgraded since its already at the highest point of gaming and the games are at only 25-30% power so suk on it Microsoft!

you are a retard, wii sports comes free with the wii, so you would expect that more people would have copies of it than ps3 games
the ps3 has only just come out, the xbox 360 has been out for well over a year, you just wait until about a years time when developers will have been working with the ps3 longer and will be able to produce better looking games than on 360 because of its superior hardware. if you compare the ps3's launch games to the 360's launch games, the ps3's games are mostly better, and have better graphics.
And by the way, thats not a good thing if microsoft are bringing out a console that soon, because that just means they won't have spent much time on it.
Next time, do some research before flaming a console that you can't afford and not actually knowing anything else about other consoles. i think that you are just annoyed becuase you wasted your money on a buggy 360 and you couldn't save up enough money to afford a ps3

back on topic now, I really don't want it to be liberty city because I've already played liberty city stories and it will seem unchanged in some ways. I happened to pause the game and catch a glimpse of the name of a building "Liberty Tree"
It would be nice if it were in a real town

But Graphics dont count, alot of people still play Super Mario on the NES, People still play Tekken 2 on the Playstation and People play Runescape when theres a more " Grapically Superior Game " called World of Warcraft.
In the end you guys should be happy about this, Grand Theft Auto games have always delivered and i cant wait for the Release down here ( us Aussies will get it later on than you guys ).

LOL I was on some message boards and this one guy said he thought the character sounded, get this, French or German. How stupid can you get? Guy must not have ever heard a French/German guy speak in his life, lol

As for being able to visit vice city, i kinda doubt it. But with this game being liberty again. wouldn't surprise me of the next GTA ends up going back go VC.

It's not hard to figure out. DVD9 games (8.9 GBs, and they almost always don't even fill that) already cost too much make. Unless people would be willing to pay $100 for games like Kutaragi joked (or was he?), which they aren't, many people think $60 is too much, games probably will not go over 9 GBs. Not in this console generation. It would simply take too much money and time to make. Get your head out of the clouds

sound isn't that much of a big deal. So, it still can be a whole country. I have a 360 and a ps3(yes we do exist)and I like both of them but I'm playing my 360 more because it has better games. Sooner or later there will be better games on ps3. Neither system should be bashed this mush. So calm down.
Grand Theft Auto IV is going to be the $#%& and every Knows it.

Why?
Because of its format. Sure you can compress and then decompress, but if it was already decompressed, you can put the disc in (1st time) and play on the console faster!
So overall, i would choose BD for games, but since BD is a litle slower with video, i would go DVD plain for video!
I dont like the HDDVD rip off crap, its a plain dvd with a little enhanced capacity and HD woopty *****!

Shut up about the RSX chip, it's obvious that it's perfect for this generation of gaming. Everything is an "old" chip once it's released, including your now two generations old xbox 360.
Nobody was "forced" to buy a bluray player. EVERYONE with a ps3 wants one. That's right, EVERYONE. That's why we pay the money for it. If you are so stupid as to think that microsoft won't be coming up with a bluray drive, I don't even understand how you can comprehend words enough to type them here. And eventually YOU will HAVE to buy one to support the next level of gaming on your precious xbox 360..
And honestly, you have never seen an xbox "tools" or sony "tools" so shut the fu ck up and follow your own advice. Let the smarter people talk about it kid. Obvious that you get all your information from a forum, and you have no education of your own.
Stop your stupid blind faith in microsoft and in your own judgement, which is flawed. You too, should be beaten with stones in the street.
