Grand Theft Auto IV

Why use the GTA approach? 😛

It did seem kinda of random, 2-3 years after the last game. lol

It's a commercial. Probalby looked good and its kinda of funny considering its obviously a take on GTA, and its completely vice versa.

But I think I might be wrong, but I think that was suppose to showcase GTA's graphics engine.

Damn it's going cost around $90.00.

Since I'm a SE whore...I'm most likely going to get it.

I hope they announce more content, I would love some kind of video covering the series, I love stuff like that.

Sweet.

ooh! flashy 😄 🙄

I heard the whole map is like 1/4th the size of San Andreas' sq. mi. area. Which means not alot of space. I'm ok with not having vasts amounts of useless space but i am for making it bigger, better, and wider, though. For the aleged $90 bucks? Why not?

From Gamespot...

But we also noticed that the dense city environment, which is roughly the same size as San Andreas, will be a layered locale with things to see and do at different heights. If it works the way we're hoping, it might offer some additional options when avoiding the police.

so is it roughly the size of san andreas or not?

Yep.

People are assuming its going to be small because it doesnt include 3 cities and country but its not how many different sizes it is, its all about how big the map is.

New York is an massive city.

I cant wait to see how they do Central Park.

yeah NY is pretty big, like in sp3 but i dunno how accurate spiderman 3 was. but in most games sandbox style, you cant go in like ANY buildings which sucks...

In the article, you can pretty much go into most buildings aside from an few.

Obviously, a map that big, its almost impossible to have every building, but the majority of them thats not bad.

Also, they'res no loading screen, or animation...you can literally go into the building straight from the street.

I have a feeling there might be a bigfoot reference somewhere in the game after san andreas.

MUST GET A PS3 !!!!!

**** ps3, get a 360.

So when will the loading happen? Have they split it into different zones? Or will the start load-screen last for 10 min?

Que?

I dont know, but supposedly the load times are pretty quick.

Something to do with stuff loading simultaneously while playing.

I might have read it wrong.

Loading while playing....that's how MMOs and games like Oblivion etc loads right? In other words the PC version will probably get some lagg.
