I can't believe how cool that looks. I was disappointed with the last couple of GTA's, basically because it was just the same game each time, in a different city. The 360 version looks crazy. The use of cover looks great, and I think that's going to make the game much more tactical. And it's awesome that it's based on NY. I can't wait to drive around and see how accurate of a copy they made. I know they also used talk radio shows from NY (ron and fez, and opie and anthony) and put them on the car radios. That's pretty cool too.

This game looks even better then the last two!! That is ridiculous to say these games make kids undergo violent crimes. What about what is on TV does this have an affect on kids?? You better become an Amish person and disable all electrical outlets in your house because I am sorry to tell you that violent crimes are not just in GTA video games!!!

I am still on the fence, Blockbuster has a trade 4 games get GTA4 free deal so I might trade in NHL 08, Warhawk, Motorstorm, Ratchet and Clank (or NFL Tour) and pick it up.

I'm a big fan of FPSs and RPGs, but I've never played a GTA, so I have no basis for saying anything for or against it.

I may look into getting on if they make it for the PC.

Don't get ripped off by Blockbuster, I would buy you a copy of GTA IV for all of those games, go to Gamestop or EB Games, they are giving 20% extra trade in credit for games traded towards GTA IV.

This is suppose to be the biggest and best next gen game so far, it is at least worth a rental. Did you watch the video?

Not yet. I'm in the middle of my work week and it appears video from that site is filtered.

I want to see the interview with Rekha Sharma and it's blocked too.

One thing I have heard that is kind of disappointing (and I haven't confirmed if this is true so take it with a grain of salt) is that the police and helicopters etc just seem to appear. They don't race to your location from a station or from patrol routes or anything, they just seem to pop in at your location; same with the helicopters.

I haven't played a video game in months - but I am considering getting this for my 360 once the semester is over in a few weeks. I have to say, the graphics are not that impressive to me - polygon counts are limited because of the huge environments, im sure.

Xbox 360, but the visuals are almost identical on PS3 and 360

They had one of the guys from Rockstar on O&A the other morning while they were playing the game. They said there would be expansion packs coming out but only for the XBox 360.

The visuals look incredible on this game.

Come on man I not a professional forum poster, there is no point having this cause you to spend the time to make a post about it.

If you have a problem with me that is cool, and something completely different.

I will just say that there is a reason why I got the internship and have had articles on t-nation and Elite.

this is off topic-sort of from this thread, but I want to know about FaceBreaker coming out from EA sports. Any insights? I've been to the website. Want a wii, full-action (as in getting exercise) boxing video. Is this going to do it??????

Maybe she needs to work out frustrations - She is always so sweet and cheerful, maybe it is backed up. :-)

hehehe. I like boxing!! I only like to kick/hit air or pads...not people. And I don't want to get kicked or hit either. It's a great workout!


sooo, does that still make me sweet and cheerful?
