Every GTA that has been released has always been better than the last, it has always broke ground and never ceased to excel in satisfaction.

BUT this GTA, will fail. In terms of originality. I am sure cause really, What else could be added?

How can you possibly make any judgments about a game that has had no public info released?

How do you know it will fail? There has been absolutely NO information released about the game; not even a legitimate screenshot has been released.

Yeah, the TT engine was really good - I didn't really think other GTA games' graphics were that good, even for last gen (just my opinion) but this is gonna look really slick. But I really hope they change some of the side missions (timed + fetch and return missions = BORING)  but I reckon that Rockstar are more than capable to make it work.

gta isnt about graphics that was clear with san andreas. they push systems as far as they can go in size and scope, not minute texturing and detail.

Rockstar has always upped the ante with its GTA series.  So i expect more than just the graphics to be improved.  This is the next-gen of gaming, and with more power comes more options, new ideas for a series

pretty bold statement. Even if Rockstar didnt add anymore dynamic aspects to the game besides the TT engine, and all the did was change the environments and story and missions, it would still be a tremendous success.

Gears proves that you don't need Blu-Ray's capacity for brilliant graphics, but then the issue here isn't graphics, is it?

Well the rule goes with every new gen of consoles hardware, games expect 5x more storage. 360 only has 2x more storage. Rockstar will be doing 2 things. 1. Making GTA4 for the 360 to fit things in. This is the worst option for gamers, but the best just for 360 owners. or 2. Making the game on the PS3 which meets the storage needs and then reduces or degrades the content to fit on the 360. Thing is, while this will happen this time around, dont expect it to on the next. GTA4:2 will probably be dev'd for the PS3 first then ported down later like the way they did it for the PS2. I mean even launch games on the PS3 are averaging 15gig so a GTA game, down the road is going to be pushing a hell of alot more.

Size will not be a problem until the end of these systems life cycles, oblivion is far bigger than any ps3 game to date (and any gta for that matter), and it fits on a DVD. And mark my word, when the 360 starts hurting from the size of the dvd, microsoft will be ready to launch the next xbox, even if it is 4 years down the road. And the launch games on the ps3 are so big because developers: 1. Don't worry about compression with all of that free space 2. Fill the disc with garbage data to improve load times.

I actually don't see that happening. With the success of the 360, and the abundance of ps2 gamers that switched over to microsofts platform, I think the GTA series will be coming out on day one with the 360 for the rest of its lifespan.

here's what i think... Rockstar made table tennis to create the next gen graphics and get used to programming on the 360. Now theyre making LA Noire, a game with driving physics and will allow them to figure out the PS3 architecture. They're smart over at Rockstar, why spend all your time developing one massive game, when you can develop it piece by piece and still make money in the process.

there isnt even a single screenshot or bit of information anyone knows about this game so far except for its release date. So this is a pointless topic. Anyways even IF all they did was add better graphics and not improve or add new gameplay elements it would still sell millions cause its a GTA game. The series hasnt disapointed me so far.

[QUOTE="bballboy986"] Size will not be a problem until the end of these systems life cycles, oblivion is far bigger than any ps3 game to date (and any gta for that matter), and it fits on a DVD.

Oblivion fitted on the 9gig disk becuase they reduced the textures as comparison between PC and 360 will show.
1. Don't worry about compression with all of that free spacebballboy986
Actualy PS3 games all use compression. Motorstorm for example has 2:1 compression and its sitting around 18gigs.
2. Fill the disc with garbage data to improve load times.bballboy986
Bethesda admitted that was not as dramatic as they had said and infact it was to the same point as on the 360s version. PS3 games which use the HD for cache dont need duplicate data at all, but some do becuase lets face it. They can. I really do wish MS had just waited and put the HDDVD drive in.

GTA4 Im guessing will be identical bar a few exclusive things (maybe a car or two) for each. Except for the whole motion sensor driving/flying and such.

all rumors. Im sure there will be just slight graphical differences between the 2 and thats it. Each system gets their own unique downloadable content as well. That info was released back with the release date.

The graphics won't be much different i think. And the 360 get's some exclusive content, and they said the content was really huge, not like just an extra mission or some new weapons.

Why would you need to save it on a memory card? You have to have a HD to download...

You don't need a hard drive to download... but there are LOADS of downloads on the Marketplace, including free multiplayer maps, Oblivion expansions, etc. that will not fit on a memory card and so a hard drive is recommended, if not mandatory.

Those games are being published by Rockstar, yes. But they are not all being developed by Rockstar North, the creators and developers of the Grand Theft Auto series, who will have been working on GTA4 for 3 years by the time the game is released this year and should have already finished the basics...

imagine this. saints row with airplanes, more weapons, more cars, motorcycles, boats...

its like the iphone. you shouldnt get the first generation one, it has alot of cool stuff, but they didnt go abone and beyond with any of it. so AT VERY LEAST GTA IV will just make things better in terms of graphics fun shootouts drive bys etc..
