I was a huge fan of San Andreas for reason's that GTAIV simply can't deliver on. I loved the airplanes-dogfights were a blast. The enormous size of the enviroment really contributed to the feeling of a living world for me. Also the variation in the enviroment was great, you could traverse a desert or climb a mountain. For obvious reasons I've a hard time getting excited for GTAIV, in comparison I waited outside Gamestop for hours to get San Andreas on day one. If the reviews are good, maybe I'll rent it.

gta4 will simply be the best game to come out in this console generation. I will be there launch day to pick it up and probably fail out of college playing it. Its going to have so much more than any other previous game and keep your eye on it in the coming months

Why are you judging the game so fast. Is not even out yet. I mean, so far, the informations about the game is exciting. The Map size is as big as San Andreas and with the power of next gen consoles, a new GTA game can only get better.

As big? Did I miss something? I thought it was smaller.

It won't be smaller. The new Liberty City is different from the one you see in GTA III. In GTA IV, the Liberty city Is a much more developed city than it was with new areas. These are the areas comfirmed:

Brooklyn is Broker

Manhattan is Algonquin

Queens is Dukes

The Bronx is Bohan

New Jersey is Alderney

I'm getting it. I love GTA and, even though I never finished San Andreas, I plan on getting this one as the series has yet to get old to me. I'm curious to see what they do with it on a next gen platform. I'd only not get it if the PS3 version was inferior in some way.

I will buy it in a year or so used, when Im bored of my other games. GTA always kind of bored me though, just kind of redundant.

I didn't like SA, it was big alright but it was empty, I'd rather have one complete city than 3 small citys that have nothing.That's why VC is the best GTA ever IMO :P

I hope it's good.

First trip to a new city, running from cops, amazing stunts you pulled off - that's what GTA is about, and I'm not really sure if IV can stand up to it - if reviews say it even somehow carries on it's legacy, I'll get it without a doubt.

not to mention that there will be no loading times in and out of buildings.....including skyscrapers. If you feel like checking out the view from the roof of a skyscraper...it sounds like all you'll have to do is walk in, climb the steps, and voila.

I only wont get it, if its god awfull. Which is possible saying the 2 vastly different consoles they are trying to develop for. They have tired to do more than the 360 can handle and now both versions are suffering as a result. So its possible, but rockstar tend to make good games. But since it comes out a few days later in the UK i'll have plenty time to read reviews on GS, IGN and Gametrailers before i buy

I have no Interest in any GTA games.  I played GTA:SA and found it ridiculous so I took it back and grabbed a new game.  I just don't find these types of games fun.

I dont plan on getting it. I found all the PS2 GTA's to be extremely boring. In fact the only GTA that I enjoyed was the first which got boring quickly.

Because of Take Two's current financial situation I can't help but feel that they're pressuring Rockstar to get GTAIV out quick, because they know it will sell regardless of quality. I don't see what GTAIV is doing that really improves on or innovates the GTA formula the way SA did. I mean the game was epic and on top of improving the graphics and the core mechanics it added RPG elements. That's the sort of improvement that i expected out of GTAIV, yet I don't see it.

I have to get it. It's really one of the only games where you can do what ever you want. Sure, I love the story and play the game, but 3/4 of my time Im just messing around. I cant wait to see how it handles with the new generation systems. Also, I think the character is cool in this one. However, I did like the gangster wars in the other.

Have you been following the game at all? The game is going to be drastically different from GTA3/VC/SA.

They are aiming for a whole new experience in immersion.

I'll get it probably, but the graphics so far are what concerns me. Look at that last trailer. It has a mercenaries-like *or the ps2 version of san andreas* brown tint all through-out it and it looks ugly. If its like that through the entire game, I probably won't buy it. Though if i do, I just have to decide on which version is the best. *and hopefully, we can have custom soundtracks which has no excuse to not be on the ps3 version*
