The NZA Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I'm gonna post this like everyone's already seen the trailer, cause, you know. What's everyone think? Teaser's barely out the gates,and the political hate's already started. You couldnt write press this good if you had to. Setting Grand Theft Auto in the safest big city in America would be like setting Halo in Disneyland - City Councilman Peter Vallone That's right, that kind of thing is ok down in miami, but none of that bullshit up here in NY, no sir. The mayor does not support any video game where you earn points for injuring or killing police officers, - Jason Post, spokesman for Mayor Bloomberg. and even this quote taken directly from the writers of the article... In previous incarnations, players advanced through the game by killing cops, selling pornography to children and killing prostitutes. I mustve missed the kiddie porn level, then again i never finished any of these games, guess i missed out on that...? Anyway, just wanted to hype the GTA fans here, since were all getting this one, except, you know, Nintendo (for now...). Also, could someone explain to me why Take 2 is having so much trouble? I thought these people had it made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I firstly thought GTA IV was meant to be set in South America( I haven't seen the trailer yet), but this all sounds like it's what? Set in NYC? And Nick- in GTA3 one've the early missions entailed distribution of porn to gang members, specifically teens, which with enough word-dickery can be twisted to read as 'kids'.

Silent Bob Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 It's weird, it looks like an almost exact representation of NY (in fact, with the music, I thought it was a trailer for a new Spidey game) but all the signs and such say Liberty City. Have they just given up completely on trying to disguise it? I don't really see anything to get excited over just yet. (also, exactly what in that trailer was adult content-y enough to require me to put in my birthdate?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Can't wait to check this one out- I wonder what happened to GTA SA? It was gonna be everything Just cause wasn't... Shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jables Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 South America. That was the press & promo posters I saw way back when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 I would like to've seen that, Just Cause really let me down. and no, theyre not showing too much, just that its gonna be beautiful, as expected. I had the same question as SB, myself. But thanks for the heads-up skeet...i mean, at least he's not totally pulling it out of his ass, but still, id say that's great press either way. still wondering why take 2 is struggling with such franchises behind them...where's bishop?

Silent Bob Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I would like to've seen that, Just Cause really let me down. Yeah, Just Cause was fun for about fifteen minutes. And it does look beautiful, but...it's just a cinematic. Even the crappiest games have great looking cinematics these days. I have faith in Rockstar, they haven't let me down yet (I even liked Red Dead Revolver), but I'm going to wait until I see some actual gameplay before I start salivating.

The NZA Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 fair enough, but you know how it is...every year, the hype machine starts earlier and earlier. on what you said there: there's a lotta folks on kotaku and other sites, know that PS3 is getting a great lineup down the road, and argue that you cant predict anything game-wise, and to a point theyre right, but i think it discredits past works (not that you were doing this here, just venting) - you cant tell me MGS4, the next Silent Hill (assuming you dug the series thus far), the next Miyamoto project, etc will be a waste of $50 when the series has been solid for years upon years now. Every series has its, uh, DMC 2 or whatever but even the low points of series like Zelda are awesome games. i just dont follow that argument. and yeah, i thought Red Dead Revolver was a lotta fun too, i just lost interest when i saw Gun, though the multi on that is sitll enjoyable.

Jables Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Rockstar let me down with Rockstar Table tennis. Now that's a game that coulda done with a hot coffee mod. Fucking table tennis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier of fortune Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 GTAIV looks pretty fucking awesome. Its one more reason to get a PS3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Don't say GTA SA to mean South America. SA is for San Andres. In GTAWorld, Miami is Vice City, South Cali is San Andres and Liberty City is NYC. Detroit would probably be something like Motor City. New Orleans would be Leveeville or something. DC would be Capitol City. East St Louis would be, uh, I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganny McVagflaps Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Why was nobody crying when it came to True Crime: New York City? Polititians are dicks. They should butt out of my selling porno to kids endeavors. I liked Red Dead Revolver (it was pretty easy, but still...) and Rockstar Table Tennis, Skeet be damned. The key is you have to be reeeaaaallllllyyy fucking high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early last year, or maybe even before that there were solicitation posters for GTA 4 being set in South America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
