I know it's a bit early to judge but no planes, no great soundtrack and smaller than san andreas, it seems to me rockstar wanna take out the funness for realism but gta was never about realism, it was about fun things you could do in a gigantic map with storyline full of mental funny corrupt characters and always had great soundtrack since vice city
[QUOTE="Ollivander"]What about the soundtrack now?Paddy345
They said no big names will be on it

Don't you get tired of hearing the same artists over and over again? I really want to listn to Fergie for the millionth time while playing GTA... /sarcasmÂ
I think its a bit soon to tell. And I think its a bit silly to assume the "funness" will be gone because its not as big as San Andreas, which I expected anyway. It will still be gigantic, and from what I've seen its going to have just as many mental funny corrupt characters as ever. Dunno about the soundtrack.Â
I remember saying about a year ago while talking about GTAIV with a friend that I would be happy wherever it's set as long as it isn't in Liberty City again. And well, they did it in LC.
I'm not happy about it being smaller than SA. I don't like the idea of no planes either.
Despite all this, I know Rockstar will be able to surprise me once again. They always do.Â
I swear people whine too much about stuff they have next to no info on. The first GTA didn't have a lot of big names on the soundtrack either. I hope they go back to doing more of the fake type songs they had in GTA 3..Although I liked the GTA soundtracks, using big names sort of takes you out of the game a bit..
Even if the game isn't as big as GTA:SA, The 5 boros of NYC and part of Jersey is quite a large area. There really isn't enough info to judge it yet. I think people's unrealistic expectations ruin everything. There is no possible way they could make everybody happy, but as a fan of the series, I'm willing to see what they do.
People, shut up. Rockstar knows what they are doing. If they are doing something different, they have a reason for it. And it is good enough because, had they no good reason, why would they want to dissapoint fans? They would need a good reason to do so. However small his game may seem, the sequels after will get bigger. You can quote me on that one.
The size of San Andreas was good when you just felt like driving everywhere and killing people but after a while it just get's tedious. I always get lost when I'm trying to do missions. Which is why I'm not so keen on SA.
Also I'd prefer not listening to all the licensed music. GTA III had the best "soundtrack" because it was all original stuff made for the game.
The only reason you are complaining about the giant map is because SA had one. GTA is about massive police chases in small confined areas playing around with vast varieties of vehicles and crazy glitches. Any true GTA fan would know this.
III and VC had more than enough space to have fun in, why? Because there was detail, an intricate detail that allowed for more hectic chases and better mission layouts. From what I hear, most of this is all hearsay... and the lack of planes would be unnoticeable if all you did was spent time in a metropolis anyways. If they have the Dodo, it will be all good.

Perhaps a smaller scale mean they can make more things happen and things to do in that more local kind of area. Bigger is better, but perhaps in this case it will be different. I kinda like how they backtracked to the same city, you can see what happened to that particular city, and its surroundings; a walk home in GTA. Planes is kinda cool, but generally weren't the main focus in the game, its a small miss. Let hope they do something good with the soundtrack, perhaps like Saints Row, I thought that had a wide variety of good stuff. But like the-very-best said, I sure they will surprize us.
Can't be disappointed with something I haven't played yet... Besides... do you honestly want radio stations with "big names" from 2006-2007? I sure wouldn't, it would make me barf.

Easy enough, put the nose down till you see sparks, let go, and you're up, all you gotta do is avoid signs and building, and the bridge and you're on portland...Â

How big is it in comparison to Vice City? I thought Vice City was plenty big so if GTA4 is anything like it, I'll be satisfied.
