I like the idea because it seems like they are trying something new. Something that may actually get me interested in the series again... and I am already intrigued. I love the fact they took out the planes... all they were good for was travelling between cities... and I also like the small knit "community" where I can have some fun being chased by the cops again... I never really had an enjoyable chase in SA.foxhound_fox

me either. I really liked DRIV3R because of the car chases it had. 

Gamer perspective:

• Liberty City...AGAIN.
• No freakin' planes.
• Smaller than San Andreas? WTF?

My thoughts on the Rockstar perspective:

• Liberty City again because it will reduce hype initially among hardcore GTA fans (the ones that actually know GTAIV information, not the casuals). But when people play the game they'll realize it's a completely reworked Liberty City, a totally new city, and a totally new experience. Nobody will be able to identify the similarities between GTAIII and GTAIV.

• No planes again to dull hype, but new ways of transportation will shock gamers. We all love planes and R* will once again make gamers love something new. Creativity is always the key in the GTA series.
  

• Smaller than SA but more detailed. The initial disappointment of the game being small will turn into plenty of "wows" from gamers as they realize how dense the map and full of detail the map is (no country crap).

I realize it's wishful thinking on my part but I think it's plausible and I have no concerns whatsoever that R* will be able to wow me once again. What do you guys think?

 

the-very-best

good points, but san andreas had a lot of nothing, filler, if you will throught the map.

GTA IV seems like it will all be city, and it will all be inhabited etc.

if you buy a 360 for mario, you might be a casual.

If you go to wal-mart for all your video game needs...you might be a casual. 

Does anyone remember that game B.C.? it was a sandbox game set in the Jurasic era with cave men. it looked awesome.

oh, and frame city killer looked awesome.

or the brute force sequel. 

I was really looking forward to starcraft ghost.

and that game B.C.

also, I wish they would make another Deus Ex game, and a new theif game. That'd be awesome.

What games that were supposed to come out but were cancelled, changed, etc. ? Or what are some games you'd like to see a sequel to? Or spinoff?

what competition? MGS4 blows away too human, like Lair blows away Geow in graphics

you mean eragon V 1.3?

I mean, you have played all of the above mentioned games right?

give it up, you fail. 

I think this will be One of the top 5 games if not the best game this gen. I can see it having the effect that GTAIII did for the ps2. I mean...Story, Cinematics, Gameplay, Sound, Six Axis, Graphics, Online, Incredible Boss Battles, New Gadgets, Cell.

What do you think?springz300

Story? The story is compelling, it just usually makes no sense.

Cinematics doesn't make a game.

Gameplay-most important, im sure it will be great.

Sound-they have good voice acting.

Six axis-hahaha uhhh, no thanks. It's a pretty terrible idea, i really hope they don't use it in MGS4

Online-...I can't see it being great in the online devision, if there is any.

 The cell? Bahahahaha

it will be a great game sure, but it isn't reinventing the genre, and I don't think it will be anything ground breaking. 

yeah because we all know we have 2,000 dollar computers that can handle this game. I just threw my PS3 out the window, my 360 is next...walton13

I do. Even though you don't need a 2000 dollar computer to play that. It could be WAY cheaper. 

oblivion + it's extra contentHaloissosweet_

He says Dine but actually Die makes more sense. Spartaaaaaaaaaans dont eat people so dine doesnt make sense25-Automatic
