Official Grand Theft Auto IV Thread *Trailer* (7/7/07)

[adamba4e]

If I could choose all the cities that are going to be in the next GTA it would be taking place in these cities; Los Angeles, San Diego, Boston, New York City, Little Rock, Las Vegas, and Miami amd the outskirts of each of these cities.

[Svetlana]

The recent rumour about GTA4 being set in London doesn't surprise me one bit. While the authenticity of the claim is highly suspect, Rockstar are renowned for sticking two fingers up to conformity so I fully expect them to ditch the gangster theme from the previous games in search of something completely different.

[Coryphaeus]

If not London maybe Russia. Some dirty sneaky Russian mob x-kgb guys, but at least they will have a chance at a cameo in London.

[D-Lee]

At least now we have something to talk about. What are some other features we can expect, if these London rumors are in fact, true?

[aussiedude]

GTA:AUSTRALIA, ohhh yeeaah! Come on R* you can do it! If R* said even just the words GTA and Australia in the same sentence it would make my day.
i reckon that when u press the 'enter car' button, aka triangle , the character should enter the closet door, not the drivers door, could be quite useful
eg: you kill someone and when the Ambo's come you sneak in the back of the Ambulance while the paramedics aren't looking then when they get back in they drive away with you in the car.

or it could be used to sneak into a police station?

-Sorry for my bad english-
its not "ansom" but i don't know how it is?

[Nightcover]

The next Gta will come for ps3 and the titel name:Grand Theft Auto 4
http://www.gametab.com/ps3/grand.theft.auto.next/4195/

[JustinPinter]

Dude...I have never heard of Gametab and that is probably just a general name for now until Rockstar announces the name of the next gen GTA.

[Delusion]

It wouldnt surprise me if gta was set in london, it would be pretty cool, but i dont think you should start off as a gangster,
I think That you should start off layed in some sort of gutter next to a hotel or pub/club, near london eye or something you wake up stumbleing not remebering a thing, and you see a murder, in the alley some big gang murder, then you are seen by one of the gang members and chased, you manage to get away, etc. anyway you end up in the police station giving a statement and after you leave the police station you realise the police dude is one of the gang members you saw the night before you have a flash back, anyway story is that you have a twin, and the gang members kill him thinking he is you, you want revenge and end up joining a gang and start off from there. But first you need a new look you go have a haircut etc maybe tatoos, from thier you more or less create your own character much like SA buying clothing, anyway could be a good idea but im not sure lol

[Keesie]

Do not make offensive comments -adamba4e

[The John]

I hope Rockstar will use the dutch city AMSTERDAM also because that city is very popular accros the world.

no that sucks, all those dutch things. The Netherlands sucks :P the only thing that is cool about the Netherlands is the nationalsoccerteam :"D

Keesie i know that you are dutch to just like me, but doesn't it sound cool to enter a coffeshop and get some weed and smoke it with your friends in gta online etc. etc.

[The Chocobo Kid]

online is like the most importer part of the game that we all look forward to here.

[Keesie]

lol , ok... :P that's just totally madness:D enter a coffeeshop. ok that's cool :P But for me it's kinda strange to see familiar streets etc :P

[The House]

see you guys online in the streets of London. :D

[janenba352]

I doubt they will do london since they already did london (remember GTA: London Edition for GTA2). If they do London it wont just be london in it. It will be a good chunk of Europe.

[adamba4e]

At least now we have something to talk about. What are some other features we can expect, if these London rumors are in fact, true?

I would expect a realistic city, because they are using the name London instead of some made up name. Also you could expect good graphics because they will need to compete with the great graphics of The Getaway.

[Terarrim]

You have been quite vocal in some of your view of what you wanted in the next GTA adamba4e. Whats your feelings on a game set in London?

One thing about London is the streets really are a maze with some of the streets dating back over 200 years. I would think that they could do some very interesting street missions etc.

You also got things like visiting Buckinham Palace, Stealing the crown jewels from tower bridge, hyjacking the London tour bus :P, having a shoot out in Harrods London lol, defusing a bomb on the London eye (that would be a cool ride in game). You also have MI5, MI6 headquarters there (remember Bond :P) the list goes on :P.

it would indeed be kinda kool, now they got to feel the tention of the competition for graphics to compete against the Getaway graphics!

[DownUnder]

The Getaway was far too dull and boring graphically for me.

Aussiedude, im with you on the GTA: Australia idea! woooo*weeps, knowing itll never happen*

[t-man]

i know there is know way this would ever happen, but wouldn't it be awsome if the new GTA didn't even come on a disk because it was to big so they put it on a hard drive. please don't dis me for this comment, it is only a pipe dream. :lol:

[CellMan16]

http://www.ps3today.com/Blogs/NewsCom/hqs/blr_1361.aspx that GTA:London in Oct 2006 will take place in 1997 in London. I don't like GTA:London in 1997. I would like to GTA:Tokyo that biggest cities in world.

[ProtoJoe]

i know there is know way this would ever happen, but wouldn't it be awsome if the new GTA didn't even come on a disk because it was to big so they put it on a hard drive. please don't dis me for this comment, it is only a pipe dream. :lol:

that'll make no sense...think about it, ps3 games are going to be released on blu-ray thats about 25gigs there, thats more than enough from a step up from a normal dvd

[t-man]

thats why i said it would never happen :roll:

[D-Lee]

thats why i said it would never happen :roll:

First of all that would suck for us, the consumers. Imagine buying a HARD DRIVE to play one game..That would suck. Plus, could you imagine how long they'd have to work on it in order to fill an entire hard drive?

[Ampere]

Depends on what hard drive your talking about? I nkow you can go and buy a 200GB hard drive. I know you can go and buy a 8GB hard drive. A 200GB seems near impossible to completly fill.

[aussiedude]

As much as I love joining in with the rest of you and saying what I think should be in the next GTA game, I think we have to leave that up to R*(Although I myself have suggested lots of things too :lol: ). I may be only 16 but I've been making computer games since I was 13 and in those 3 years gained lots of knowledge about how to design a game. One of the first rules is: Don't listen to the gamers, they may think they know what they want but they really don't. As dumb as that sounds in reality it's true, so as far the story, location, character, gameplay side of things go I will put my faith in R* and say that they will give us what they always give us and thats gaming perfection. But if I was asked for a opinion I would only suggest what to include as cheats
Heres the cheats I would add:

Walk on water
Walk though walls
Frezze time
Increase water level
Decrease water level
Remove Water
Crisis Event (enter this cheat and a ramdom bad thing will happen eg: Tornado, Flood, Aliens Invade etc)
Zombie Mode (Everytime someone dies after 30secs they standup and start killing people [and will even look like a zombie too rot and everything!] when in zombie mode cops don't chase you they only focus on killing zombies, I thought about this one alot and the one problem I saw was in the event that the player gets in a car and drives out of a area, if that happened then there would't be any zombies in the new area, which is kinda boring if your trying to rip off RE4, my solution is when you move to the new area what ever the percentage of people in the area you were in were zombies will be the percentage of people in the new area which are zombies)
Plus all the cheats from GTA:SA

[Mika Mo 25]

aussie dude I agree except I would like to see what ever Rockstar chooses to do is that they do it to the fullest so there isn't an empty space feeling with some parts of the game. Rockstar hardly has that feeling in its games though.

[aussiedude]

I think this is the longest topic in history... besides Science vs Relegion(I think thats how you spell it :lol: )

Come lets go for a 100pages!! :D

[t-man]

i second that. 100 pages should not be to hard to do considering how many we already have :shock:

well some of the cheats they added in GTA SA where just pointless like the cheat for Elvis is everywhere.....

[donnierisk]

I'd like the ability to climb mountains, aeroplanes to be able to go higher, more aeroplanes.
I also agree that we should try and get 100 pages, this topic is almost more popular then the GTA fansites, ROFL! :lol:
Oh, and ability to be a passenger in a car, then your gang members or homies drive, while you do a drive-by(you should go to map, target a area, and that's where they will drive).

[Keesie]

well i thought the airplanes in SA flew as high as in the real world ,

[Nightcover]

well i thought the airplanes in SA flew as high as in the real world ,maybe you right but I even want to go higher. a cool Idea when you meet the atmosfare you will burn up!!!

[Keesie]

well i thought the airplanes in SA flew as high as in the real world ,maybe you right but I even want to go higher. a cool Idea when you meet the atmosfare you will burn up!!!

lol, that's a good idea, you can go as high as you want only if you go to high your airplane will blowup/burnup!

[Svetlana]

You know what really keeps me playing a game? Bonus mini games. Resident Evil 4's bottlecap shooting galleries are a good example.

GTA4 should include a few mini games like the RC racing/bombing missions from San Andreas and GTA3. Spyro the Dragon on the PSOne, if I remember correctly, had a skateboarding mini game hidden somewhere, which was great fun. It'd be good to have a GTA4 Tony Hawks' Skateboarding mini-game/ripoff/parody. I think something like this would be a massive hit online. Especially online RC races.

*Fondly remembers Micro Machines*

[donnierisk]

Aeroplanes in real world fly ten times higher than that, with a normal jumbo jet, which flies kinda low for a aeroplane flies so high that you can see the earth start to curve and a huge building looks like a dot.

Oh and a skateboard minigame would be cool, like the side missions for the bmx in SA, just better and more abilities, I was dissapointed that SA never got skateboards, but I hope GTA 4 does.

[adamba4e]

well i thought the airplanes in SA flew as high as in the real world ,

Airplanes in real life are about 40,000 - 50,000 feet high, in San Andreas it looked like they were about 500.

[JustinPinter]

Maybe the planes in SA were coming in to land at the airport...lol. If they were like in real life at 40,00-50,000 feet I dont know if you could see them.

[LuckyJ23]

I think GTA in Tokyo will be GREAT!! Go outside the city and go drifting on the hills. :D Dubai would be cool too, in the middle east. Get to go to Iraq or something and look for underground caves and shoot some terrorists. :wink: Get your own island in The World or even own the worlds only 7 star hotel.

[JustinPinter]

I think it was confirmed that the next GTA game is called GTA: London and will be released in the 4th quarter of 2006.

[Keesie]

no, no title has been confirmed for the next gta, it wasn't confirmed it going to be on the ps3 but it was confirmed a nextgen gta releases in the 4th quarter of 2006!

[benref2303]

Personally IMO i would like to see something along the lines of more care in the new GTA.
Like you had to eat in San Andreas, something along the lines of taking care of your cars, like washing them and putting the petrol in them.

Something I have also been aching for on GTA is a speedometer, so often have I been bombing it in my Cheetah / Infernus wondering how fast I was/am going.

Thoughts?

[Keesie]

yep, the speedometer is a must for the next gta i think! GTA must make a big step forward, now they are going nextgen!

[CellMan16]

Yeah it GTA:London in Q4 2006. They has already title of GTA that called London. link here is http://www.ps3today.com/Blogs/NewsCom/hqs/blr_1361.aspx

[Couchin It]

this is not going to happen i think you can all recall a time when a lawsuit was filed and the game was rated for adults, im sorry but GTA is cancelled

[chris87788]

that is only a rumor read the article

[donnierisk]

GTA will most probably be based on London, because so far GTA 3d series has been folowing GTA 1's cities, in order, and GTA London was the next GTA after 1, but it would be named different like GTA:Royal City or something.

[Keesie]

i don't want gta londen... gta shouldn't be based in a real city, that just not gta.

[D-Lee]

i don't want gta londen... gta shouldn't be based in a real city, that just not gta.

I assure you the game won't be called GTA:London. Plus, all the other GTA's have been based on real cities. New York, Miami, Las Vegas, San Francisco.

[The House]

When do you guys think we would be getting a first glimpse of GT4?

my guess is E3

[aussiedude]

When do you guys think we would be getting a first glimpse of GT4?

my guess is E3If I know rockstar probly about a month before it is released :D :) :| :( :cry:

[adamba4e]

No, GTA is not cancelled. :lol:

my guess is E3

I assume you mean GTA 4. There was a rumor that some info was going to be released at CES? I think that we will get a little information at CES, but not a lot.

[JustinPinter]

I think right after the first sight of Halo 3.

[DownUnder]

Anything will do at this point in time. Something to keep us going.

[DOGG]

this is not going to happen i think you can all recall a time when a lawsuit was filed and the game was rated for adults, im sorry but GTA is cancelled

OMG YOU MUST BE A EINSTEIN!

GTA was not cancelled. :lol:

[Keesie]

When do you guys think we would be getting a first glimpse of GT4?

my guess is E3

you mean GTA4 I guess? I think it will be just like GTA SA , all the journalists get to see it at E3 and put it in their magazines...

[Raptor_F4F]

The next GTA should mix all the cars for GT4 and some more for good measure with the custimsation of need for speed underground 2 & MW and the graphics of getaway 3. I think that you should be able to get a job from working in the local burger king to being a hitman and everything in between.

[Raptor_F4F]

i know there is know way this would ever happen, but wouldn't it be awsome if the new GTA didn't even come on a disk because it was to big so they put it on a hard drive. please don't dis me for this comment, it is only a pipe dream. :lol:

that'll make no sense...think about it, ps3 games are going to be released on blu-ray thats about 25gigs there, thats more than enough from a step up from a normal dvd

I thought that blue-rays were around 50 gig, can anyone correct this or am I right?

[Keesie]

yep you are right, the blu-ray ( remember it is blu-ray not blue-ray) disc is capable of dual layer of 50 gb and single layer of 25 gb.

[benref2303]

I agree, although there is such a place called San Andreas, it was still a made up place, with awesome scenery and graphics.
To be cruising around London to see a top landmark such as big Ben or Buckingham Palace just wont be the whole GTA gaming expierience.

I think a game in another continent other than America could go well, something like Italy, follow on to Salvatore Leone in Italy, something like that.

or not? :?

No, why would I won't to serve hamburgers all day. Criminals become criminals to avoid working at B urger Kimh

[Raptor_F4F]

I think that it should be set in Europe, imagine cruizing down the autobahn in your tuned Supercar dodging cars with speeds in excess of 200+ Mph (They HAVE to put in speedo's this time) then heading on to the Nurbinring to either blast round the track or watch the end of race (thats taking place real -time). Stop off at one of your properities park your car in your garage not to far away. walk to the circuit climb over a chain link fence 'take' a race car and drive off to paris for a pint watching the sunset behind the effiel tower while the sin glints off your chrome 12 gauge.

The other thing that really p***ed me off in gta:SA, you know the airfield west of las venturus with the huge hanger, you can only park 4 cars in it.

[yang_wan1]

GTA outside of the US just sounds wierd to me, you? I honestly wouldn't want GTA in london in those narrow roads. I like the openess of GTA SA and I hope it stays like that. No offense, but even though I don't drive in the right lanes anyway in GTA, I have no desire to play a game with cars driving on the left side, that for me would take away from the GTA I know.

I don't want it to be based on any real cities, they should keep the same formula as far as cities go, A city that has different qualities from real cities in the world. Imagine one big city, with a mini London, mini Miami, LA, NY, Tokyo like sections and countryside, that would be better, combining the best parts of of famous cities than basing it on one real city. I also loved the spaces between the cities in SA.

I mean if you want to play in London, you have the Getaway, why would you want GTA to take place there too? We also have another game that takes place in real cities, True Crime. GTA should stick to the same formula. I don't see GTA London, Germany, or Australia happening. But if you live in these places you shouldn't be disappointed cause soon enough, there will be similar games to GTA that will take place in these places thanks to the popularity of the open world games like GTA. I think we will see a wave of these games in the future where they become their own genre.

Gta London already happened it was an expansion pack for Gta2 for PC.

[hardcoregamer111]

i am hoping that it will have sweet *** graphics and will be more challenging than the others they were pretty hard but i found them to easy. but every thing that they added to SA was absolutely totaly sweet. also that it would have online so that u could hunt people down in the city

Agree with almost all your points.

However i wouldnt mind driving on the left side as that is where we drive down here. (Australia) But in saying that i really dont find it wierd driving on the right side in the GTA's, so i dont think you would mind it driving on the left.

I dont want it to be set in London either but for a different reason to yours. I, no offence to all you Londoner's out there, dont think its bright enough. I find it dull and boring in some senses. (however i do believe R* could bring it to life)

I still want it to be in a totally fictional place where, like you said, they could have the freedom to make little made up places which would appeal to a much wider audience.

[Voice Of A Riot]

I'm a Londoner and I agree that it won't be the best of places to set GTA. Besides I've played the Getaway enough and I get sick of those dull backgrounds and there has already been a GTA: London. If anything the way Rockstar are going, they seem to be creating larger and larger areas in their games, so it would be more likely they would base their game in the whole of Europe.

However i'd be interested in a perhaps somewhere like Japan, China or in East Asia. Perhaps it could be based on a triad/ Yakuza influence, and the game wouldn't be heavily set on just high tech cities but also the huge amounts of countryside - paddy fields, forests, ancient temples etc.

[barney_2k]

i think GTA: London would be a great idea

it would be crazy going past all the famous landmarks

people talking in cockney accents, italian job style missions

(maybe gues starring michael caine)

i think it would be awesome!!

Barney

[Keesie]

why don;t do it in Sicilië with the real mafia! that would rock!

But why does it always have to be in London? Why can't it be in Edinburgh or Bristol or Newcastle or somewhere like that. I mean I come from London but it must get tedious to think that whenever a game comes out to represent the UK its normally based in London. I mean there are several other places that it could take place in.

[IPB]

Na, wouldn't want it in Bristol. Plymouth, that's where it's at.

[SessDMC]

why bother, britans crime isnt as well suited to GTA as america is, or american theamed.

[Voice Of A Riot]

Brilliant Plymouth it is then! Grand Theft Auto Plymouth, has a certain ring to it. *Cough* By the way what wrong with Bristol, I go to uni there..lol

[IPB]

why bother, britans crime isnt as well suited to GTA as america is, or american theamed.


Are you kidding, gun crime is a problem in big cities. Glasgow would be a good setting, it's been labelled the murder capital of europe. Seriously, they love knives there. They have guns too but they just love to stab each other. To add insult to injury, they will stab you in your a**hole, or shot you up it. I saw a TV program on it, it was savage.



Brilliant Plymouth it is then! Grand Theft Auto Plymouth, has a certain ring to it. *Cough* By the way what wrong with Bristol, I go to uni there..lol


I just think it would be better to have a shoot out in the famous plymouth dome as opposed to cribs causeway :wink:

[gonzo]

I doubt Rockstar will fill up all 25 gigs possible on a single layer blu-ray. The next console is designed to last around 5/6 years, so rockstar will need to restrict themselves a little now so gta5 or watever has space to grow

[Vercetti]

I'm surprised no one has said anything about having it located in Washington, DC. DC is the most dangerous place to live! The murder rate here is ridiculous. It could also bring in some sort of political theme into the game. Ex: Stopping an assasination or something like that.

[SickleCellEnemia]

I totally agree with you regarding the next GTA taking place in Washington D.C. I firmly believe that D.C will be one of the cities in the next GTA. The next GTA will probably include 3 or 4 major East Coast cities. My guess is New York, D.C, Boston, and maybe a midwestern city like Chicago or Detroit. A number of people on this thread have forgotton that GTA is a parody of American popular culture. The reason GTA has been a blockbuster series is because it spoofs how obnoxious and violent Americans are perceived to be. Rockstar would be making a major mistake if they tried to move the franchise to Europe. Europe doesn't fit the GTA profile. Europeans are not perceived to be fat, obnoxious, and as brutally violent as Americans. Whether this is actually true or not doesn't matter. It's all about how Americans are perceived compared to Europeans.

There wouldn't be enough storyline's that they could create from a Europe based GTA. What kind of missions could take place in Paris? Take a tour of the Eiffel Tower in less than 2 minutes? Or, deliver the excellent cheese to the supermarket without the truck exploding??? Seriously, Europe is not known for crime-it is known for tourism and fine dining. There isn't much GTA could parody about Europe.

The number of storyline's that GTA could develop with D.C, New york, and Boston is countless. There are a number of classic movies they could spoof, and they could actually make a great crime story that is believable.

[barney_2k]

thats also true

but London will have worldwide appeal

unlike Edinburgh or Bristol

they have to sell the units dont they, and not many people worldwide visit the UK to visit edinburgh or bristol in comparison to how many come to visit london

its got a big appeal with many major landmarks

i think a worldwide online GTA is the best idea

lol

Barney

[Keesie]

lol, what if they do GTA: EDINBURGH , lol then you will be able to rob Rockstar's studio :D

[SickleCellEnemia]

I'd hadn't thought of that concept before, but I think it's a great idea. A worldwide GTA could be great. Have the game start on the East Coast of America, and then have the cast flee to London, and then have the story move to Western Europe, and finally climax in the far east(Tokyo).

I believe that GTa has grown to the point where they cannot focus on one city. London isn't diverse enough to base an entire game on. I also think the game needs to be based on at least a few American cities.

[barney_2k]

hmm london is pretty damn divese to be honest m8

but im biased coz i live in the UK and i love london, itd be great to see it in another GTA game in next gen graphics

the worldwide idea is the best though

I wish.

If Grand Theft Auto is set in London then it will probably be very detailed and accurate.

[Gamer DJ]

I dont think Rockstar will ever even consider using London as a game setting. Rockstar like to be unique, thats what we all love about them. So since Sony is known for The Getaway games which are based in London Rockstar would be seen as copying Sony rather than being unique and original.

So no! Rockstar will never do a London based GTA, leave that to The Getaway crew. ;)

[yang_wan1]

I'm surprised no one has said anything about having it located in Washington, DC. DC is the most dangerous place to live! The murder rate here is ridiculous. It could also bring in some sort of political theme into the game. Ex: Stopping an assasination or something like that.

Be careful of saying stuff like that, most dangerous place to live? heh, you been around the world kid? No place in the US is that dangerous, forget Baghdad Iraq, there are countries were the government is so corrupt, the hwole country is crime ridden and ones without governments. Right now, the most dangerous place to live is Somalia, even the waters of Somalia are safe.

[benref2303]

how's about GTA: Manchester.

Always a few shootings in Manchester, rough council areas such as Harperhey, Miles Platting & Ancoats.
Along with Moss Side & Hulme....

Agree with the American theme though, it has definitely got to be in America, would like something along the lines of a real hustle and buslte City always car jams i.e. New York.
Nothing but open road, i.e. california

Any news on when the actual release date is, or they gonna make the suicide watch drag on even longer? lol

Im pretty sure he didnt mean anything by it.

Washington would be a good place when you think about it. I dont think itll be set i London because of one already being set there. I dont think they'll do the same thing twice.

[barney_2k]

yeah i agree in a way

but if they remade GTA London, they would be totally different games

the original is 2 Generations behind!!!!

it would be totally changed

Barney

[DownUnder]

Yeah i thought of that. I guess they could do it.

The only thing im worried about is, with the GTA's going so well, they dont try and introduce a certain gameplay change that isnt fun or 'wrecks' the game. I hope they stick to their guns and keep making them how they have been.

[barney_2k]

yeah

i dont think they are ready to leave the current system that seems to be almost flawless

Barney

[wishcraft]

did you guys ever notice a clip that demonstrated the unreal engine a bit before e3 2005 or somewhere around that time when they said that this is the type or sort of thing that grand theft auto could use? they ment the engine.. is this known? if not I can find that movie!

[DownUnder]

I think ive seen the movie your talking about but i dont remember them saying anything about GTA. I dought they will use the unreal engine. They will have made up a whole new engine for the PS3 wouldnt they? Im not sure what to think because i liked the cartoony style of the previous engine, so i hope they keep that style to some extent.

But then, if rumours are true, they have completed the engine already for GTA: London.

[adamba4e]

Should the next GTA include sports gambling?

I think it should and I think I got a good idea for it. You could go to your house and turn on the TV and you will see a news report for each thing big that happens in the city and you, it would kind of work like a cross between the new reports in Splinter Cell and the radio news reports in Liberty City Stories. So you can follow (fake) sports teams during the season and you can place bets (or maybe take bets) on them.

[SickleCellEnemia]

I disagree that the game should resemble any of the GTA's that were released on the PS2. I want the game to have an entirely different appearance. Now that Rockstar has better technology to work with, they should roll out a game that looks nothing like San Andreas. I want dramatic advances in graphics and gameplay.

Does anyone remember GTA on the original playstation with the top down view??? Aren't you glad they made the completely different transition to the 3D view?? Of course, it was a trick question. The point is that this game needs to reinvent its on the PS3. GTA 4 should look as good as good as The Getaway 3 demo. Anything less than that will be a complete disappointment.

I wouldn't worry that any changes in the gameplay would make GTA 4 any less fun to play. What you should be worried about is if Rockstar doesn't change the game enough.

I disagree on a few points.

Unlike you, i really hope the game resembles the look and feel of previous GTA's. In saying that i know its going to have much more scrisp graphics and what-not but i think you know what i mean. I want to play the game and know that im playing Grand Theft Auto. Theres no dought that they have to change things to keep the series alive but i just think those changes shouldn't be so much in the look and feel of the game.

Ofcoarse the transition from 2D to 3D was a success but that change was inevitable. What now? Theres not much more they can do in relation to how the game looks exept the obvious, which is having 'better' graphics. Basically i dont think it need to 'reinvent' because its on the PS3.

I just think the exact oposite to this paragraph.

[aussiedude]

Just one thing about how "The next GTA must have a speedo" opinion which is arising, I do want a speedo, but I don't want it to take up 1/4 of the screen, the current display is nice because most of the screen is empty, so you can see more, it's also important to make the display on top of the game as little as possible for another reason, the more noticeable the health bar and weapon icon etc are the more noticeable it is that you are just playing a game, and thats bad, basically when making a game which is meant to be realistic, you need to make the player believe that the game world is real not just a bunch of polygons and textures, trust me on this I know what I'm taking about, the interface for GTA4 better be less than noticeable and only show what we NEED to know, like health and what weapon we have, time, money, maybe speed and thats about all I would put in. Nothing more, maybe less.

[Keesie]

no it must be small, just right under in de screen you must have a small speedometer and the gasoline meter (however you call that) must be around the healthmeter, and the armor and the long capacity!

[gonzo]

kinda like in king kong where the display is completely naked, all u need to know comes from visual/audio clues. I didnt like the idea when i heard it first but when you play it, it isnt at all hard to get used to.

[Keesie]

that's not a good idea for GTA, they did that with King Kong to give it a good movie feeling. That is just superb for a movie game, EA should to it for LOTR too...
but IMO it's not a good idea for gta...

Btw a GTA:Amsterdam or paris would be very cool.
I want so Europe instead of that shitty america (:(no offense)

[Keesie]

lol, ''no offence'' you must be european :D

and what do you all think of Rockstar making it possible for the ps3 to simple mod a GTA game, that is just one cool extra you would buy a pc version of GTA.

[Manson-doll]

yeah to make your own levels or sommy. That would be cool. and yes I'm european(dutch)

[gonzo]

If it was set in London how would the game be affected by the fact that the met police dont carry guns (except for SO-19 and other similar)

[xxx646]

I hope it come out soon. It probaly be one of the first games of PS3. I am so going to get it.. :D

[Keesie]

well i don't think it will be one of the first games of the ps3, it will come on the end of the year, so by that time a lot more games will be released for sure!

[PimpPanda]

I hope it will be of a verion of Europe. Of course they should change the name like the other GTA's though.

[Keesie]

that's for sure, if they don't change the name it doesn't sound like a worthy GTA, more like an expansion!

[Vercetti]

I surely didn't mean on a world basis that DC is the most dangerous place to live. I meant the big cities in the wonderful USA. Trust me, if you got lost in a DC ghetto you better say your prayers. I would have to agree with people when they say keep it American. No offense to the rest of the world but America is the reason GTA was brought to us.

[yang_wan1]

I know what you mean man, I have a brother who got jumped in DC. Before 1995, you wouldn't see many people out late night in DC, lotta thugs and whatnot. Ever see Chapelle stand up, killing them softly, so funny.

[Vercetti]

I would like the ideah of actually doing time. Sentences of years would be fast days ofcourse. I don't actually want to spend 25 years in jail literally. Maybe it could be something like (25 years = 1 or 2 real months). You could operate from jail! Meet people from your hood and be the toughest gang in prison. Have contacts on the outside and do assasinations of rival gangs. You could make money by smuggling goods inside. And you would be able to break out if you wanted, but it wouldn't be too easy. You could bribe gaurds and get access to things like weapons. You could make newbies your b****** and make them do degrading stuff. There wouldn't be any rape cause' that would be inappropiate for any video game.

You are not "forced" to sit in jail. If you read my post it said you could have the option of escaping.

[adamba4e]

You are not "forced" to sit in jail. If you read my post it said you could have the option of escaping.

But what if your in a maximum security prison and you can't break out.

[SessDMC]

No i think you should be in jail not for two months, but lets say 2 days, or even one, and the option of beeing able to breeak out regardless, or allying with other gangs and they help break you out.

[Vercetti]

Maybe you could bribe your way out! JK. I'm just brainstorming here. Forgive me if I sound retarded.

Maybe two months was a little extreme for a single player. I think it would be awesome for an online experience though. A lot of people are talking about creating your own gangs and working your way up. This "working your way up" would take a long time I imagine. If your not already spending a lot of time playing, what is two more months?

[DownUnder]

Forgive me if I sound retarded.

Forgiven. :D

Well it doesnt look like we are going to get any info at the CES show (not that i was expecting anything)

February's Sony conference thing or E3 im certain we will get something.

[aussiedude]

I think that they should remove the 'busted' thing when youre in a car and a cop points a gun at you, instead they should make it so that the cops are really good fighters and to get 'busted' the cops need to get you pinned on the ground and handcuffed.

[cmoney1357]

I'm a huge fan of the Grand Theft Auto series. I think with what will probably be quite a long wait, Rockstar can make the next GTA unbelievable.

[Keesie]

nope at the end of this year we will have a new GTA

[Manson-doll]

I totally agree. I think it is way to easy for a cop to bust you. Especially if you're getting chased and the cop is two steps behind, you then hop on a motorcycle and you get a elbow to the face. You're busted? I would put up a much better fight.

Exactly. Plus the fact that you aren't actually dead in gta after you got shot 3 or 4 times. so a nice fight would be very cool. I do agree that those officers should be very hard to beat, else it's way to easy to escape.
Lol it would be very funny if you'll do rock paper scissors with a cop to toss if you can go away or not.
Okay hit me I'm loosing myself lol

I havent posted in like 6 months or something like tht. But when i read about the jail thing. What are you thinking..... :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

[urdude4evr]

i think that there shouldnt be any jail or anything just like the ones we had in gta san andreas.
you go to jail for some days and when you get out the days should also change
if you had any meetings on those days you should get a phone call after you get out of he jail asking you why did you miss the meeting and arrange the meeting on another day

[Simon]

Take Two Reveals New GTA Titles, Financials

Liberty City Stories is PS2-bound and Xbox 360 gets a brand new game.
by David Adams


January 5, 2006 - A financial update from Take Two Games not only announced preliminary fiscal 2005 results today, but -- as is often the case in such reports -- revealed some tasty new titles and game delays for the year ahead.



Perhaps most significant to gamers is the revelation that Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories will come to PlayStation 2 after enjoying its initial life on the PSP. The PS2 version is expected in the company's second quarter, which covers February through April. Rockstar's hardly neglecting Sony's portable system, of course -- the company confirmed a second GTA games is coming to PSP, along with another new title for the platform.

Along with thug action, Rockstar will create an Xbox 360 game based on a new brand, as well as a sequel to an existing Rockstar property -- for as-yet-unannounced platforms. Players can also expect to see NBA 2K7 on multiple systems sometime in the near future, and all-new Family Feud game as well.

With the good news come a few delays. College Hoops 2K6 for X360 and Top Spin 2 for X360, Nintendo DS, and Game Boy Advance will now arrive in the company's second quarter.

Citing continuing uncertainty as the game industry transitions to a new console generation, Take Two is taking a humble stance in its financial outlook. The company now expects $230 to $250 million in net sales for its first 2006 quarter. Take Two is not offering guidance for all of 2006, but now expects revenue and earnings "significantly below" previous guidance and analyst estimates.

Take Two announced preliminary and unaudited financial results of $1.2 billion in net sales for fiscal 2005, ended October 31, 2005. The company is reporting a preliminary $308 million in net sales for Q4 2005.

"Clearly, the holiday season did not live up to anyone's expectations," commented president and CEO Paul Eibeler. "While it is difficult to assess the impact of the hardware transition on our industry in 2006, we remain confident in the resilience and future prospects of Take-Two and the global video game business. We have assembled some of the industry's best development capabilities supported by strong financial resources, and we expect to capture market share in an expanding Xbox 360 installed base and from the anticipated introduction of the PlayStation 3 later this year."

http://ps2.ign.com/articles/679/679117p1.html

I know this is NEXT_GEN gta discussion but i thought id throw it in here as i know alot of people in here would want to know and wouldnt check the PS2 section because they wouldnt of been expecting this. Hell, i know i wasnt!

This is great news. Im sure the graphics will be better and stuff like that.

[tsunami]

Take Two is not offering guidance for all of 2006, but now expects revenue and earnings "significantly below" previous guidance and analyst estimates.

This report to the shareholders is what Take Two believe at this point will happen in 2006.

If they do not think they will meet their previous guidence figures, then that means that a product they expected to be released and to be earning money from this year will not be relaesed.

So no GTA4 for the PS3 for most of this year is what i read into this statement.

[Playstation3 4 Lyfe]

Aboutthe jail thing, I thin they should make a section of the game being you in jail and once you get enough respect you get a phone call from a buddy and they bust you out

p.s. I can't think of any way they can make the new one better than san andreas

[DownUnder]

Okay no offence but i think we should just can the whole jail idea. I really cant see any benefits from having it.

And i am 99.99% sure that they will think of something to make the game better :wink:

[Manson-doll]

well downunder I've got another option
Play with 2 characters, when one of the 2 is in jail you can still play with the other, and let him helping you to escape out of prison. And if they are both in jail, you're in big bullshit :)

[WhatRuOn]

I think an option to customize your character at the beginning would be a nice touch. Even if it's just race, height, eye color, and other stupid details.

[Citronic]

I don't know if this has been brought up yet, but it would be cool to see "bigfoot" "leatherface" or "crop circles" as an easter egg.

[Coldfire]

i really want to see detailed and unique crashes, burnout style. then explosions with tons of debris. with that alone i could spend hours stealing and destroying multimillion dollar cars. :D

[PS3ITLIVES]

I think they should add different things like more buildings to go in and more details like house items and more house to buy things like that. :D

[KRIS_911]

i really want to see detailed and unique crashes, burnout style. then explosions with tons of debris. with that alone i could spend hours stealing and destroying multimillion dollar cars. :D

If you want the best real life like car crashs it can be done by Cell ray tracing as in it can show a car crash in real life then take that and put in to Cell and to the game there ya go.

[34THETRUTH]

i want there to be like more of a life sim in it. san andreas was good with the whole food and working out deal, but how bout sleeping, or jobs. Once you beat the game it gets 2 a point where all thats left is a very violent life sim. how about being able to pimp out ur crib. also, i like the idea of more of an emphasis on public transportation like subways or buses.

You know criminals become criminals so they don't have to work and who would want to sleep in a game.

Besides that I like your ideas for public transportation so you don't have to drive all the way across the city to get to your destination.

[Manson-doll]

who would want to sleep in a game.
Well there already has been made a game where you can sleep(I totally forgot the name of it, it was a game like The elder scrolls).
It was kinda cool. you just break into a house or buy one yourself find a bed and go to sleep..

[aussiedude]

I want to be able to walk around in the subway trains, maybe even have a gunfight with cops? I think what R* needs to do is create a sorta story genrator something that creates mini storylines so that once you have finished the main story line you have a almost unlimited collect of parts of stories which can be combined to create one everlasting story to keep you busy forever. That way it will keep players busy for so long that by the time R* finish the next gta, people will be still playing and enjoying the last game. Does anyone argee/understand?

That would be good everytime you finish something major in you GTA life(think the last mission from GTA:SA) you start a new life in the game(think begining of GTA:LCS)

[hyper flare]

when i got my game of gta sa(my 1st ps2 game) i was over the moon
i found out by lookin on the back that its 2players so i got my m8 over 2 crack gangsta scum.
then i found out it wasnt split screen:(

all id like 2 see is split screen and access 2 places like vc liberty city sa and more with new missions and fun minigames (even a game of air wars where u get a plane and u have 2 destroy them lol:p

[.::PS3::.]

i agree with you mate, 2 players in a gta wud ROCK if time was taken with it, dont forget the dual tv feature, so these things would be far from impossible, 2 players, 2 tvs, 1 next gen gta game and a ps3, it opens up the next gen gta (an other games) possibilities widely. 2 gangstas, no limit to how far u can speperate from one another. GTA is then a whole new game.

[Manson-doll]

yeah a deathmatch between 2 players or more would be awesome.
With a radar like goldeneye james bond had, so you will be able to find each other in big levels.. yeah.. that would be very cool.

[.::PS3::.]

with the ps3 capabilities, multi-player mode could be something that R* focus on more with there next gen GTA. Deadthmatch is a good idea actualli i would like to see it, but what about 2 players in 2 different crews....co-op story mode

[34THETRUTH]

this is what the next GTA needs

1. ragdoll physics
2. a more "real" feel to it through grafix and sound effects
3. more traffic!!
4. new people models
5. stars at night
6. customizable character from the beginning
7. this is just me but, i would like a more advanced shooting option
8. better visual effects that emphasise scale (true crime:NY did that very well)
9. more public transportation
10. more necessities like sleep and possibly getting a job
11. the option to put on yur ski mask and rob stores (gas stations, jewelry stores)
12. more emphasis on your house (being able to see out windows, pimping out ur crib, some really detailed stuff making the house aspect possibly more like the sims...only GTA style btches) :D
13. more building to go into

all these little details would just add to the experience in my opinion.



i like the idea of getting a job, plus you could have options like steal store items, or take from the cash register. or u could just get some easy money without being wanted from the po-po. and with sleeping, for those who don't use cheats all the time, it could be an easy way of getting health back. also, being tired could effect gameplay, blurred vision, slowed reaction time, you could end up falling asleep at the wheel. but i see where u comin from.

i almost forgot...online gaming
like free roaming where all the people on the map are actual players
i like the idea of a deathmatch
gang wars
there could even be llike an olympics of gta playing (races, gun fights etc.)

endless possibilities Shocked

Do not double post just edit your last post. Please read the rules -adamba4e

[Recon]

I was never a fan of the GTA series, but here's a few suggestions.

1.Ragdoll, as suggested before, this game really needs it, so when you run people over with cars and everything, you get that feeling of satisfaction.
2.Everyone in the game needs to look different, just randomize eyebrows, faces and everything so you never see the same person twice.
3.An online portion to the game, not just mindless shooting like the world ended and clans stay in their own turfs waiting for someone to come so they can die, have jobs like police and everything, so there can be order.

[chaosphere]

GTA London remake!!! please :D

Do not make posts under the word minimum -adamba4e

[chaosphere]

if they re-did gta london, it would rule! just think of the possibilities...
You could assasinate the queen! blow up big ben! take out westminister abbey!
not just that though, think of the retro soundtracks if they set it in the 60s again! Friggin Awesome I say :D

[Keesie]

ne, i don't like londen, but if they do a GTA london that would be to easy...that's stupid.

[34THETRUTH]

How bout having a gta world.

it could be done if the ps3 is as powerful as they say it is.

each continent could be the size of san andreas
there would be oceans that you couldn't cross(never ending), the only way to get to other continents would be on plane. there could be like an america, europe, asia, and a south america/africa continent.

that won't happen in the upcoming gta, i think they will begin strong but a little smaller then SA, which is good IMO because GTA SA was so damn big!

[34THETRUTH]

maybe you could only go to one or city on each continent, that might work.

one or two cities*

Do not make posts under the 5 word minimum -adamba4e

i thought that is what really made the game, was the size! and plus, i like to have a good variety of environments. maybe you could only go to one or city on each continent, that might work.

Please do not double post just edit your last post -adamba4e

[barney_2k]

GTA london or GTA world all the way imo

i cant wait to see a next generation GTA though

wherever it is

I do not think GTA world is going to happen on the PS3. Even if each continent is the size of San Andreas, there is no way you could portray a whole continent in a area the size of San Andreas.

i agree, it would rock : so big so real and everything, it would suck: boring becus it is just to much, you can't get everywhere ever... while everything is so kool it would take you years to find out every secret...

Do you have to find everything? If you don't want to find everything then no one is forcing you to.

[DOGG]

I wouldn't be suprised if a GTA: World came out about the time Playstation 4 would be announced. I wouldn't expect that to be soon.

[charmingcharlie]

Just doing my bit to get this thread to 100 pages :lol: . Firstly this is an excellent thread, no flaming and has really been a pleasure to read so far (yes all 64 pages). I am an ardent fan of GTA, in fact I am still playing GTA SA daily on the pc. So what would I like to see.

1) Ragdoll physics, yeah it has been suggested already but I want it too, would also be nice if the cars were damaged more realisticly too. Mind you I might miss seeing a pedestrian shoot straight up in the air when I hit em :P.

2) Improved draw distance - the fashion is for more realistic looking buildings and what not, but really what I want is further draw distances, get rid of some of that pop up rockstar. I mean even on the pc you can see a tree suddenly appear 3ft away from your character.

3) Let me buy and mod cars at the beginning of the game not half way through. Yes I know you can just nick any car you want, but what I would like to see is a couple of special cars that can only be purchased.

4) Don't Houdini me car once I have it. This is one thing I hate, you get that special car you love to drive, mod the hell out of it, drive to a mission in it, be forced to use a mission specific car and hey presto you just lost your lovely modded car.

5) Sleep deprivation - Sleep has already been mentioned. It is an integral part of GTA, after all when you save a game 6 hours time passes. Now I aint saying we get to sit and watch our character kip for 6 hours. What I would like to see is certain things happen if you don't save your game. For example if you play for 2 game days without saving you should start to have black outs, your aiming goes to crap that kind of thing. Naturally if you nip into a coffee shop or save your game your character reverts to normal.

6) Winter sports - basically like the mountain bike races but with ski's, snowboards and maybe even a tobogan or two :shock:

7) Better music - The music in gta sa sucked, yes I know Carl Johnson was a black gangster, but really I can't stand gangster rap and I know I am not alone. The music stations in vice city were fantastic not the ones in gta sa were just plain crap.

8) Custom tracks - Come on rockstar let PS owners have a custom radio station like xbox and pc owners can do with their own MP3's and lets have newsbulletins on the custom radio station too.

9) Sony Walkman - I would love to explore SA on foot, the reason I don't is cos there is no music, come on give our character a walkman, in fact get sony to pay for advertising of their new MP3 player in the game :D

10) A Decent Hideout - I have yet to see rockstar produce a decent hideout, the abandoned landing strip was okish, but I want a massive garage, I want a massive mansion and I want somewhere to keep me helicopters and the boats I nick.

I got loads more I wanna see in the new GTA 4 but I would just bore the hell out of you, so that will do for now I think.

Now just a word on the actual game itself, I have seen loads of people going "just imagine what they will do with 50gbs of storage". I can tell you now it won't be 50gbs. I personally don't believe GTA 4 will be 25gbs. I would put my money down to it being a shade under 9gbs in total. We have to remember that Rockstar are gonna want to stick this game on the Xbox 360 and possible even the PC. Which means the biggest they can make it is dual layer dvd size (about 9ish gbs).

Oh and I know people are still rumouring it to be in London, again I am doubtful about this, our police do not have guns, so if your character walks up to them with a rocket launcher what are the police gonna do, say "ello ello, what's all this then ?".

Ah but who cares, GTA 4 will totally rock and I am already having sleepless nights about playing it. Come on rockstar give us some info will ya.

i have a question what does ragdoll mean this is the first time i ever heard of it

[DownUnder]

i have a question what does ragdoll mean this is the first time i ever heard of it

Physically i know what it is but i think somebody else could give you a better explanation then me. Basically people react more realistically when getting hit by something. e.g a car, imagine dropping a ragdoll off a cliff, thats what it would look like.

[aussiedude]

i have a question what does ragdoll mean this is the first time i ever heard of it

It's a fair question, basically it's when players react to being hitting by something else, eg: a ped being hit by a car. It sounds like from the surface that GTA:SA already had that right? Well theres a difference, what GTA:SA had was already animated animations of people falling over etc, ragdoll is when there is no set animation and every limb of the character has it's own physics and own set intructions on how it can move, and each limb responds by itself to other forces. The effect is if you punch someone in the face in a game, their head will swing backwards and pull the rest of the body with it, if theres a wall behind them then they will hit their head on the wall, if someones leg gets hit from behind then their leg will fly forward maybe even send the body into a backflip. Basically the body will react the same way as human body, not just a few pre-defined animations of a person falling over. I hope this explains it. It in a nutshell means better looking movement of characters in games.

PS 64, 65, 66, 67, 68... 100 not far....

Do you have to find everything? If you don't want to find everything then no one is forcing you to.

well if i buy a game, i really like if i'm able to find everything.

Lol smartasses if you'll have a game as big as a continent you won't ever be able to see all cities and villages. Plus game devellopers will have to work for ages to finish something like that plus it will be bad because the developpers can't go for perfection.

[Keesie]

yeah that's what i mean, i don't like the idea but the developers will probably not like it either!

[aussiedude]

I would like the slowmo adrelin thing changed, it should be slower, I want to be able to see individual bullets!

[SessDMC]

Id like Matrix effects when that happens.

Ragdoll, Well you said it all their Aussiedude , Let's just say Lets just say diffrent parts of the body have its own movments to the forces, so if you shot some one in the head, their head will swing way back, and then cue the body after that.

Heres a video example.
Ragdoll physics video (Quite funny) (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7666800523858668420&q=Ragdoll+Physics)

[hyper flare]

maby they would make access to places from previous games (liberty and vice city)

if theres 2 much stuff they could ake a double part where u have 1 disc for vc 1 disk for lc and 1 for sa

itl be a bit like ff (4 disks) but as long as he game itself has a good storyline and there lots to do its ok

(im saving up for it and ps3)
edit: how about when u hit something the part of a body willl fall off (eg. shoot someone in the leg and their leg will fall off)
id hate to find out what will happen when some1 gets shot betwen the legs lmao

alright sorry for double posting but i thought of some new ideas 8)

1)add more air vehicles like more planes and jets
2)more secret bases
3)travel from sa to vc (well we all want tommy's autograph dont we?)
4)(like no 3) make grove street famillies better by adding islands with more gangs and u have 2 bring a plane with the grove members on to make grove str number1 in other places (soz if i sounded ike a tw*t)

5)online minigames like cops and robbers (run around area 69 with ur m8s shootin at ya)
6)real life stuff (thaks whoever mentioned this)
7)access to schools (we all hate school dont we?)
8)gta walkman(thanks whoever mentioned this)
9)more weaps like rubber chickens (mmm chicken)

and the big 10)customisable weapon set(make up a weap set and if u die u cn go and get ur set back at a certain place) also make 1 and itl be a wepon set 4 cheat :lol:

1. not a new idea everyone wants new vehicles whether it are air or just on the ground.
2. good idea i hope they do that, and not like SA teh Area 51 needs to have soldiers all the time not just in one missioN!
3. uh probably the new gta won't be based in the SA invironment or the vc invironment.
4. we don't know if they will bring the gangster theme again in the new gta, i hope not.
5. i would prefer no minigames in online, if they do online they must do freeroam .
6. what do you mean: cooking??sleeping?? if so i hope it won't be to much like THE SIMS
7. nahh. no schools , i don't think rockstar would ever add children in gta games.
8. gta walkman???
9. everyone wants more weapons and there probably will be a lot of more weapons!
10. yep kool idea, just like in the MGS4 trailer you see snake put something on his weapon!

[adamba4e]

yeah that's what i mean, i don't like the idea but the developers will probably not like it either!

I think we will see a GTA World (with a different name) on the PS4. By the we will see perfect graphics in Super HD on a HVD. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_Versatile_Disc)

[sony-manPS3]

i want there to be like more of a life sim in it. san andreas was good with the whole food and working out deal, but how bout sleeping, or jobs. Once you beat the game it gets 2 a point where all thats left is a very violent life sim. how about being able to pimp out ur crib. also, i like the idea of more of an emphasis on public transportation like subways or buses.

You know criminals become criminals so they don't have to work and who would want to sleep in a game.

Besides that I like your ideas for public transportation so you don't have to drive all the way across the city to get to your destination. I think you are right about the job thing but the sleep would be great but only if it was not manditory that say you are hurt will if you went to sleep then you could have full half or if you need to past some time for a mission that was like 8 hours away kinda like when you save the game.

lol yeah would be awesome

still its gonna be a long wait if we get too hyped

i think we need to calm down till after confrence

Barney

[.::PS3::.]

i wonder what sort of computer it would be? how powerful :)

[aussiedude]

i don't know if this has been sugested or not. I know R* don't want to add animals because they don't want to let their players kill them but how the ability to get pets. You could get a dog, feed it (not to keep it alive but to make it stronger), train it to do tricks(fetch, beg, kill someone, rollover you know, stantard stuff :lol: ), plus you can get them to follow you (naturally) if say you get in a ute the dog will jump in the back etc. Maybe also other pets like parrots, cats, elephants :shock: (teach the elephant to break doors, or flatten cop cars, with cops in them :twisted: ). I reackon that would be cool, plus to resolve the 'dieing issue' you could make it so that when your pet gets 'wasted' like you it just ends up at the vet, and you got to pick him up, infact if the pound gets him it could say he was busted! :lol: . Anyway thats my idea.

[SessDMC]

Aussie, theres out there, then theres way out there, i think it would be cool too to train a dog, but that would be an idea like the idiot who suggested Grenade juggleing for Halo 2.

[aussiedude]

why not it was done in a different (can't remember which one) but yeah it would be great to train a tiger to kill cops for you :D !

[yang_wan1]

Hey y'all, I got some new info on a new rumor on the next GTA over at some other site.


Well, here is some fresh info we just got
The new gta is well underway.
All four cities are in there!
You get a choice between Tommy, Carl, Claude or Catalina, every character got its own storyline!
We also know that the game is 55% done! tongue
The cities are: London, San Andreas, Vice City and Liberty City!!!
There will be a lot of weathers in the next game, like snow, and other known weathers, on every season, there will be other weather.
Something else we know is that in snow there will be almost no control over the car, and in the rain, it will be really slippery.
It's like different handling in different weather.
There seem to be hurricane storms and hopefully twisters.
Well, that's all the info we got by now, I will make a page with all the info we already have!

I hope you like it, enjoy

-Mike

This guy, who states that he knows someone from Rockstar, says the game is 55% done, wow. If this is true, I am kinda disappointed and kinda excited at the same time. For one, I figured they would do something completely true, but I am excited that I can play as Carl, Tommy, and Claude again and in all three cities plus london. I guess that is good enough, I really couldn't care about the cities as long as they have next gen graphics. So I guess this is good news from my perspective if true.

[aussiedude]

this looks suss to me, although acturally it wouldn't surprise me if you could play as catalina, if they are 55% done then something tells me that this game might seem a bit empty, at least when compare to other gtas to come.

[yang_wan1]

I really doubt it too, but it sounds better to me than any of the other rumors especially the london ones. This way, the people who want london will get it and we will get VC, SA, LC. I hope they do this, but it is a bit far fetched.

[gonzo]

I cant find the quote but im sure someone from Rock* said that gta:SA was the last of that series, hence gta:4 wont rehash the same old characters.

[SessDMC]

no no no no NO.


Rockstar officaly said that the GTA on Ps2 has its own story line, and finnished on PS2 (ok maybe PSP) but still Rockstar officaly said that what was done, was done.

[gonzo]

how do people feel about if gta was set in England and instead of having an entire arsenal of weapons he's restricted to just a few with the majority of fighting being done by hand or any weapons you can find (like picking up a trash can and throwing it).

by the way im not entirely sure this is a great idea, just trying to work out how gta:london/england could work when the police dont even carry guns


Edit* sorry different subject, now that CES is over with no ps3 news when do you think is the next best time for sony to announce more details? if they are aiming for a spring release then E3 is probably too late right?

[PhantoK]

how do people feel about if gta was set in England and instead of having an entire arsenal of weapons he's restricted to just a few with the majority of fighting being done by hand or any weapons you can find (like picking up a trash can and throwing it).

I´m not too fond of the idea of GTA going outside the US. It just fits there better in my opinnion.
Hmm... A fewer weapons? Well some could be removed but I still want a wide selection of different type weapons. Like have only 1 or 2 of every weapon type. (There could be exceptions of course...)

I like the idea of using what´s available. Although I believe it would be limited to a few sticks/boards to swing and some crates/trashcans to throw. Still it would be funny. Especially with the physics.
Just imagine throwing a trashcan to some guys face and see him roll down a staircase as a ragdol. :lol:

That sounds like bullshit to me. I dont think he knows anybody at rockstar

[gonzo]

Take Two is not offering guidance for all of 2006, but now expects revenue and earnings "significantly below" previous guidance and analyst estimates.

This report to the shareholders is what Take Two believe at this point will happen in 2006.

If they do not think they will meet their previous guidence figures, then that means that a product they expected to be released and to be earning money from this year will not be relaesed.

So no GTA4 for the PS3 for most of this year is what i read into this statement.


That worried me because im still optimistic (stupidly probably) for a gta4 at the end of the year, but jus reread the report and it says those figures are for the first quarter which ends in may or something, so not discounting an august release for gta

[hyper flare]

i hope theyd let us know a bit more, im reeeeeaaaaally looking forward 2 playin the new gta games

ive already started savin for a ps3 mwahaha

[Keesie]

uh yeah, probably everyone is saving up money for the ps3 if they didn't do it already. and btw i'm not gonna buy the ps3 till it has been confirmed the ps3 will have teh next gta, but that will be around may, which is far away from the ps3 launch here in Europe:P

[hyper flare]

yea ur right why rush when you can buy it cheaper in another 3months :)

ill buy it and show off with it :P call my m8s poor and risk gettin a black eye and ps3less lol

honestly i think r* will have gta for ps3 cos gta has always been on playstation

[Central]

What new enviroments and enviromental effects, such as forests and snow, would you like to see in GTA 4 for the PS3?

[judgedread]

Snow, wind gust, rain, different seasons.

[SickleCellEnemia]

The rumor about GTA taking place in Liberty city, Vice City, San Andreas and London is obviously bogus. However, i think there may be some truth in his statement. I think there is a strong possibility that we'll have the option to play as different characters with different storylines. I also agree that weather is going to play a more important role in GTA4.

The possibility of playing as different characters with different storylines is awesome. The replay value of this game would be enormous. After you complete the game 100 percent with one character, you would have the opportunity to play the game over again with different characters and missions.

The bogus reports about the next GTA4 are annoying, but I think some of these reports might be partly true. Unfortunately, with the total number of bogus reports circulating its impossible to determine what is fact or fiction

[barney_2k]

of course the weather will be more important

physiscs will play a big part

im looking for a bit more realism, not too much

just wanna get rid of the square heads n such lol

Barney

[34THETRUTH]

I definately agree with barney, those pedestrian models need a little fixin up. If those rumors about the cities being London, SA, VC, and LC are true, than for gods sake get rid of the never ending oceans! :evil:

[GoreTex]

Im not going to read all the 65 pages so here is my question...

Are there ANY screenshots for the next gen Grand Theft Auto game?

Thanx...

[SessDMC]

To answer your question: NO

(5 words minimum 8))

[Central]

Im not going to read all the 65 pages so here is my question...

Not at all. But expect to have some more information on GTA 4 in upcoming tech events, such as the PS Conference in February and E3 in March/May (me forgetful).

wishful thinking. I'm not expecting any

[mrknowldge]

I think the reason why some of us have a mixed feeling about GTA is because we don't like to admit that even though rockstar did a hell of a good job on the story telling, physics of the game and most importantly the music in the game it is the graphics that suck on gta! with the power of the ps2 why not make a nice pretty game look at God of War graphics couldn't believe i was playing the ps2 when i saw them:) and look at burnout revenge !!! specially on xbox it looks so next gen! so all I'm saying rockstar is please make a pretty game (perhaps all i want is for the hookers to look as real as possible :) who's with me guys????

[DownUnder]

God knows im with ya :lol:

BUT didnt you like the cartoony style of previous GTA's? I loved it.

[D0nni3]

i think for making the games look realistic leave it too the getway team, i like gta for the style it's kept for the past 3 games

[PS3ITLIVES]

yea make the graphics look better, alot better and better city buildings

[GTA_PlAyA_728]

The weird thing about gta is they had an interior design for a lot of buildings but most of them still werent enterable :? And i hated the graphics on SA.. I think they spent to much time on extra features and not enough on the graphics.

[zxg15]

Rockstar already said that they were starting from the ground up with the next-gen GTA, creating a whole new engine. HD should also help, not to mention the added power of the PS3 for physics and blu-ray's storage capacity

[Minus]

here's something My boy found on the new gta i doubt it's real but it's a start

http://newestgta.ytmnd.com/

Lol, what a great game that would be. Haha

[aussiedude]

What the next GTA needs (not what i want), and what I think it will have:
1. Improve visuals - (It has already been said heaps I know, pretty sure that the visuals will be better for a number of reasons 1 The next GTA will have a new game engine 2 it will be on the ps3 :roll:

2 Improved Physics - (Same as ^ 1 ^)

3 No Bugs - (Other GTA's had heaps of bugs, that was most likely because instead of making a new engine for each GTA R* just reused the same engine and added and tuned certain parts of it to fit the new games, when ever you do this you are cheating, and when you cheat in programming it will be seen, (Think Windows). Although like it was said there will be a new engine so R* will have a chance to make their engine perfect now to allow for the sequels to come)

4 New Theme - If R* use any of the theme's which they used before then it will be seen as just a port, they need a new theme (personally I like the gangsta theme but not many other people did but owell)

5 New map - By this I mean we need a map with more new stuff in it, like snow, huge mountains, stuff which will be exciting to explore( I wouldn't have a clue if R* will do this, heres hoping)

6 New Era - Maybe it's time to bring GTA to 2005/6 or 2015 hell maybe 1940, who knows maybe it will be just 1990's again but I think we need a new era for the next GTA, 2025 would be nice, aslong as the map is a senseable future and not a starwars or startrek one it would be all good.

[Vercetti]

I'm glad someone is sticking to what r* does best. They should just improve what always works. I'm tired of people saying they should create jobs and sleep, shave, and all that silly sh*t. I like video games because they are video games! I already do all that stuff in the real world. Why would I want to do that when I'm trying to get away from it?

[aussiedude]

come peps we need to fill another 34 pages :D

[Bluntz]

I think after they make the first next gen GTA it'll be alright but once there 2 or 3 yrs deep into the ps3 and start working with blu-ray 50bg disks BD-ROM then thats gunna be the gta to look out for. Im interested to see what they can do with this game the first time around though,

[DeAdLy_cOoKiE]

The fact that BluRay offers 50GB storage space doesn't neccessarily mean that a game will make use of all the storage space, nor would it mean that the game would be better because of it. A more reasonable bet would be GTA for PS3 being twice as large as GTA:SA, at least...

[Womble]

i have ideas

1) when it rains puddles and clothes get wet
2)if ure dude stays out when its raining or in cold weather (ie snowing) if hes not wearinng like 3 layers of clothing he shud be able to get ill
3)u shud have to pay rent on ure house and if u dont u shud get evicted and have to live on the street until u get a new house
4)be able to buy choppers/planes
5)if u have a mansion to get a airplane runway in ure garden
6)fully customizable apearnce
7)be able to play tons of different sports and even get signed on by a pro team
8)it to be set in a real city (ie london, NY.....)
9)fully interactable buildings
10)u can withdraw and deposit ure $$$ into a bank (or cashmachine
11)real cars
12)online capabilities
13)if u destroy a building and it gets raised to the ground u shud see a construction crew working to reapir it and overtime it should be rebuilt
14)animals like, dogs cats snakes
15)there shud be a ZOO

wot u guys think 8)

Blue ray only offers 25 GB. The dual layer offers 50gb which i dont think any company will use for a couple of years after PS3 is out.


6)fully customizable apearnce

Definatly.. You should be able to pick whether u want to be a guy character or a chick.. cuz i think some chicks that play GTA are gettin mad that every one of them is a dude :lol: And i remember one guy that was white that didnt like playing SA cuz of CJ being the main character :?

[DownUnder]

And i remember one guy that was white that didnt like playing SA cuz of CJ being the main character

Dude i can tell ya there ws more then one. However it was the same with Tommy Vercetti.

It would be harder then you think to do a fully customizable appearance. In the cutscenes for example, you need to look like and fit in with your surroundings and family members. I think they should just have 3 or 4 set characters that you could choose from and based on who you chose the cutscenes would relate to that particular character.

[D0nni3]

i have ideas

1) when it rains puddles and clothes get wet


Yea one thing i would definatly like to see if weather that effects the city for example puddles in rain or a light snow covering in snow. maybe changing seasons?

[PhantoK]

2)if ure dude stays out when its raining or in cold weather (ie snowing) if hes not wearinng like 3 layers of clothing he shud be able to get ill

Hmm... How would this play out in the game? Your stamina is lower and the guy moves slower and all wobbly? Since I would want a game that makes me stay at home to cure an illness...



3)u shud have to pay rent on ure house and if u dont u shud get evicted and have to live on the street until u get a new house
Might be... But how mane people actually "live" in a house in GTA? I´ve actually been inside a safe house in SA only 10 times in my 100+ hours of playing the game



5)if u have a mansion to get a airplane runway in ure garden

That would need to be one huge mansion. :D



6)fully customizable apearnce

I´ve said it before and I´ll say it again... I don´t think this will happen. I mean then R* would propably have to have about 5 voice actors just for the main character. Unless ofcourse if your fine with a female character that sounds like a man or the other way around.
I think R* should just make one main character, and keep the customisation to the possible online mode.



7)be able to play tons of different sports and even get signed on by a pro team
I think they should just stick with GTA and not try to make it a sports game... :wink:



12)online capabilities

Alot of people are VERY excited to have somekind of online in GTA so I can´t see R* (completely) ignoring it.

I'm going to go pick-up that magazine in a few minutes.

I hope that is true, just imagine a GTA World by 2007.

[Animosity]

The next GTA shouldn't try to OMFG big.I get sick of hearing "it sould lik be 3x bigger then San Andreas.No.What I think would rock would be a city,that is about the size of a real city(not the little "mini" style cities of past games) with full enterable buildings.

Adam please make some scans of that magazine if you have it! I can't get it here in holland...

First PSM clearly mentions it is just speculation and not facts about their "prediction", so if it doesn't come true, then they didn't lie as they say they are just guessing. Why do people always forget to read the whole article, stop taking speculations as facts.

On more pressing news, The PS3 is said to be open source, which had many gamers including myself hoping for a system that would allow us to mod games a la PC. However, due to that stupid HOT COFFEE incident (damn that modder), R* in no longer supporting modding which means we will not see a modable GTA4 anywhere unless R* decides to be nice and change their minds. As of now, I think R* will release the next GTA with a locked code.

Damn it, I don't have a PC that is cabable of playing games ( I do have a sony vaio PCG-2K3 laptop, never tried to play games on it though) so I have always had to watch those nice mods they came out for games especially GTA like the one that combines all three cities or even the one that allows you to drive a mercedez and bite my lip cause I couldn't do that on my PS2. Here I was hoping to finally be able to do something similar on the PS3 and that moron messed it up for us. what are you gonna do... sorry if this seems like old news to you but it has just been bugging me.

Any of you that don't have a PC cabable of playing these games will know what I mean and if you don't, go to any GTA site to see all the nice mods PC gamers get, and FOR FREE (most).

P.S. I heard Alan Wake will support modding though, I can't wait for that game even though it won't compare to GTA4.

I heard Alan Wake will support modding though, I can't wait for that game even though it won't compare to GTA4.I have the cheatdevice 0.7 for my copy of GTA:LCS on PSP, and I think that some of these mods are amazing, maybe instead R* could just include the cheatdevice and all these other mods for GTA4 in the game so then we PS3 players will be able to mod and R* wouldn't have to worry about any more hot coffees being spilt over the media :wink: , I still to this day believe that R* wasn't the one that put that hot coffee thing in, not after the mods I've seen, I still believe it was just some really smart idoit that did it.

[Keesie]

yep the way EdisonCarter does it that's kool. I think that will be possible on the next gta too!

[aussiedude]

O yeah and I had an idea for what could be added to the next GTA or future ones, TV. Now I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought of it, but I had an idea of how it could be include in a space effective way, instead of having a whole bunch of recorded footage(Which would take up a lot of space, blu ray or not that would be a huge waste of space just for a few hours of Fake ingame TV) maybe this is what they could do, bare with me here. I go all over the place.

Everyone knows what a screenshot is right? Well it's possible to get a screenshot in a game like the normal printscreen method except do it before the screen has had a chance to refresh the screen, and then move the ingame camera to a different location and texture a object or single polygon with that texture(i've done it myself and the effect is logical really, it creates the effect that there is something like a security cam or something and it is being displayed on a screen. It's a very cool effect, it is used in Red Faction I think to make the effect of a mirror.

It would be possible to have a "TV Studio"(aka a place where what would be screenshoted could take place which isn't near the map) where say for example if R* wanted a news report they could have a animation, model and texture of a news reporter, desk and studio and like how the trailers at e3 were realtime but still just movies you could do the same for the news report, although it sounds like that would be larger it actuarially wouldn't be because it would be just one model of a studio and desk and just one texture for it, (The model of the room could be lets say 30kb, and 30kb is alot for any model) and the texture could be 1-2mb then you would have the animation of the reporter which could be 50kb, then the texture for him which might be 1mb and then after that just the audio which could be very small, (I've compressed myself a 4 and a half min song down to 2mb with ok sound so lets say the news report is one min thats 500k roughly, so 30kb plus lets say 1.5mb plus 50k plus 1mb plus 500k thats 2 and a half mb for a 1min news report which could then have the audio track playing with changable audio for a different news report, or multiple audio files which could be combined to form thousands of reports with low file sizes.

There could even be a sport channel using the same principle! In fact a sport channel would work even better because every game could be ramdom and if there is different teams playing the textures for their clothes could just be changed.

Does everyone know I mean or have I wasted my time just typing this?

Excuse grammer and spelling errors but i'm tried :lol:

Two questions:

1) Is it likely that GTA 4 will be available for the PC?

2) Will the PS3 version of GTA 4 be likely to be moddable?

[Central]

However, due to that stupid HOT COFFEE incident (damn that modder), R* in no longer supporting modding which means we will not see a modable GTA4 anywhere unless R* decides to be nice and change their minds. As of now, I think R* will release the next GTA with a locked code.

I doubt that. GTA: SA was an 18, right? People should know that that means that the game may contain, violence, drugs, sex and disturbing scenes. If GTA had a rating of something pre-teen then perhaps it would be right of Rockstar to not allow modding, but that's not going to happen.

[Keesie]

in america is is Mature: 17+ and in Europe it has always been 18+


Two questions:

1) Is it likely that GTA 4 will be available for the PC?

2) Will the PS3 version of GTA 4 be likely to be moddable?

1) yes that is very likely because every gta that has been on the ps2 or ps1 has been on the pc too!
2) that is something we don't know for sure, that is because of the Hot Cofee accident of GTA SA but i think they will allow us to make mods!

ok, it's fine . I get why, just read it. But thnx for explain!

[D-Lee]

Very, Very interesting. 6 European cities in one GTA. :shock:

I sure as hell hope this comes true.

[D0nni3]

and a uk launch title o please god say it's true! :D

[yang_wan1]

Dude, its just speculation, not even a rumor, its is something they think has a chance of happening, its more of a joke.

Anyways, I have read at GTAforums and other GTA modding sites that R* said it won't support modding for the next GTA. I hope its a lie.

[TMCrimeZ]

i read some stuff earlier about putting the last 4 cities together as one. but that would be so boring cos u already know the cities and charaters. I'd prefer an all new city with new characters and vehicles. and cars based on real ones :D.

Ever played GTA 3 Real??? that makes the game so much cooler being able to drive in an aston martin DB7 for example.

one thing i really really want in the next GTA. Dashboards in cars! cos everytime u look back in ur car u see the door and window but if u look infront of u, u see no window and steering wheel and radio etc.

[sony-manPS3]

I have got to agree but maybe it could be a little bit bigger so it has like 2 major city that are huge cities and the it had country side, with a hood and Las Vegas type place againwith a bigger airport and all the buildings are enterable. They should also have it where every building inside should be diffent. Also you have to see change over time new building and see them built and you should be able to go on-line if possiable with the PS3 you could get update so new thing can appear. R* should also it more colorful like VC something about i like or they could do it you you fly from city to city VC, LC, SA, and what ever after that. and have real car and futuristic ones to. and have like weapon 6 set with all new and old guns and more gadgets ect...

[aussiedude]

err, was my idea that bad huh, so bad no one is commenting on it :lol: , cause I know my idea for the TV can work, I've done it myself in games, also the other day a mate suggested that maybe we should print off this whole topic and send it to R*(if we just email a link they would ignore it, print it and they will be like "Great now we HAVE to read it or else these fans will be P-ed off!". But yeah what do you guys think of my idea? :DD

[adamba4e]

It is a good idea, but there is no reason to do that.

[aussiedude]

It is a good idea, but there is no reason to do that.Which one, mail this topic or include TV in GTA4, (Prob both :lol: )

[AJJets107]

wow 6 cities i wonder how long it will take if i just walk around all 6 cities :lol:

[D0nni3]

wow 6 cities i wonder how long it will take if i just walk around all 6 cities :lol:

a week by plane ;) so walking best get some supplies in your fridge and some beer near by o and don't forget to call work sick with somethin bad so they'll give u the time off :lol:

[Grey Fox]

I reckon make the shooting either behind the shoulder(re4) or fps then it would be a hell of a lot easier

[D-Lee]

Why would PSM come out with such a bold prediction? It just doesn't make sense why they'd say that unless they got some inside information. But why would Rockstar let them get inside information and not release it themselves. It makes no sense.

[aussiedude]

I think the advancements in the next GTA will be so huge even our crazy minds couldn't imagine them, having said that I reckon on top of a news and sports channel there should be a movie channel which plays replays of the missions you have completed :D

[Stoffinator]

I didn't read through the 30000000 pages of this thread, but did anyone see the scanned article of the UK PSM saying that GTA was a PS3 exclusive? Being that we can not post scans here, if you can find the article where its readable they do claim this..


GTA IV, set in Europe (or a world with six cities), is announced at E3 as a Playstation 3 exclusive, available as a UK launch title in 2006

When at E3 did Rockstar say GTA IV was a PS3 exclusive?

they haven't, i thought it was only a rumor they posted in their magazine...

[Central]

I wouldn't be suprised if Rockstar made GTA IV a launch title. Having a variety of launch games such as GTA IV, Motorstorm, MGS4, Killzone 2, and perhaps one of the more kiddie-orientated games would be a great selling point for the PS3. Rockstar have had dev kits for around 9 months now though, which frankly is not really enough to perfect a brand new graphics engine. I expect them to do this in future GTA games, when they have more time.

[Keesie]

it could be a launch title if the ps3 releases in fall!

[zxg15]

GTA games always come out in October. GTA 4 may be a launch title for Europe, but Sony is hammering a spring 2006 launch for North America into anyone who will listen.
