I'm sure many of you are excited for the upcoming release of the newest GTA game.

Here is the IGN review: http://ps3.ign.com/articles/869/869541p4.html

Seems like it's going to be a pretty dope game. It's smaller than San Andrea (which is good) and has a refined combat system. It's got a bunch of dope easter eggs like getting your friends drunk to see what they really thing of you.

I think I'll wait an extra week after release to buy it though so that my exams go smoothly, haha. Leave your thoughts.

from the sounds of it, unless you have a rediculously nice computer/graphics card/buttload of memory, your gonna have a hard time runnin this game on your computer smoothly

i have been waiting so long for this game. i cant wait, it just sucks that you have to pay $60 for a game.

what do you think about the special edition. its $90

The Grand Theft Auto IV Special Edition will be presented in a customized Grand Theft Auto metal safety deposit box. The box will contain:
  • Grand Theft Auto IV with special packaging
  • The Grand Theft Auto IV Art Book, featuring never-before-seen production artwork from Grand Theft Auto IV
  • Selected soundtrack CD from Grand Theft Auto IV, featuring new material from top artists, only available on this release
  • An exclusive Rockstar keychain for the safety deposit box keys
  • Completing the collection is a limited edition Rockstar duffel bag

    does it also come with a 9mm so you can practice what you do in the game in real life?


    and also, i think the asian's gonna dumb the game down a little to work on a comp, otherwise i will beat him up for failing........jk

    Yeah mang, it's the first game since Soul Caliber in 99 that got that rating. The reviewer(s) claimed it to be the best game since Ocarina Of Time. I just hope things like eating, running or working out will not affect your ability to play the game. I'm all for character development and customization but those things were a chore in SA.

    the only thing that i can think that these affected were if you had no fat you lost muscle and if you were real fat you couldnt jump as high or run as fast

    ^The IGN review said that the PS3 has a slight advantage in terms of both graphics and load times (there are no load times on the PS3).

    im so stoked, my freind and i (screamin seamen) are going to set up are 360's and tv's next to each other and just play gta all night. Get a bunch of food should be a shitload of fun.
    That review makes it sound so good.


    I know its sad to play gta all night but, the mountains closed weekdays now and we have a no school day so....

    i dont know.. i know for sure i wont buy it unless i really like it.... i think im just getting kinda burned out on these games.. i am glad they are making another modern day one again. unless this one has a lot of new features i dont think i will buy... but i will rent it if its ever availible.

    i just saw it, i wasnt that impressed but i didnt really get to play it much.  I was hoping for the ablity to enter most buildings and kinda more realistic. but its still fun, driving is sick from what i saw. not sure if it will top san andres tho

    I heard they changed like all the combat stuff and like lifestyle stuff, apparently you have to like hotwire cars and like pick locks and shit. Sounds amazing.
